      Status:
      Answered
      Too many issues to write. Paid for cadillac sill plat and keyless entry (both $115 labor pre-paid on the cadillac website) and scheduled to have them installed. When I brought the Escalade in, they asked if I wanted to wait, I said I would come back later. Called later that afternoon, they said MIGHT be ready tomorrow. WTF is the point of an appointment if they cannot work on it same day? Common sense! But they said they wanted to have a conference first when I live 1.5 hours away round trip and it is a simple $115 labor part install? What a joke.I called for the price of a duplicate key before going, gave them my VIN, and 20 minutes later they said $560 (wow). I asked for a key duplicate when I dropped it off. 24+ hours after dropping off THEY STILL COULD NOT MAKE A KEY for my 2022 Escalade. They EVEN said it might be more $ and COULD NOT EVEN GIVE ME A PRICE 24 hours later.The keyless entry they installed was totally crooked, looked like a kid slapped it on! I fixed it myself later and cleaned up the resulting tape mess, I did not have time for them to take it back and fix it while there. Key pad itself is not pressing down on the 0 digit unless you crush it, cadillac problem, tech noticed it but oh well, not a *** Ellis Cadillac problem apparently.I said I had a very tight schedule and please have the car ready for me exactly at 2. Car was not out front. Car was not washed, asked if I want to wait, I had no time for that either. Had to wait for the technician to tell us how to program the keyless entry even after that.Parts person was nice.

      My name is *******************************. I purchased a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee with *** Ellis Buick GMC Atlanta in May of 2023. Less than a month after my purchase, the vehicle completely broke down. The vehicle was towed to the *** Ellis store at ********************************************************************************************. The General Manager decided it would be best to have Landmark Chrysler Dodge Jeep ******** of Atlanta to repair it. In the meantime they gave me a loaner vehicle while my vehicle was in the shop. The final repair was completed August 11, 2023. Now the same issue is going on again within a year later. I have spoken to **** (Used Car Manager), ******* (General Sales Manager) and ***** (General Manager). I have asked all of them to extend the same courtesy as they did last year to provide me a loaner vehicle and they have refused to do so. *** Ellis sold me a lemon. This car had electrical issue from the beginning. They should have never offered this car for sale on retail. Instead it should have been sold at auction.I would like to be given a loaner vehicle until my car is repaired. Then I would like to be exchanged into another vehicle and have all of my monies from my current vehicle applied and credited to the vehicle I am exchanged into.
