    I purchased a car on 05/04. They did not give us a copy of the car fax. The title also hasnt shown up and they wont give me an extension on my temporary tag. Without the title, I am forced to drive with an expired tag. I have sent numerous emails, sent texts, and called to try to get help. They have ignored me and made this whole experience awful. My car also had a hub cap fall off and battery for the car key die within 2 weeks of the purchase. In person, they said theyd contact me to help. Like all the other issues, its been weeks and theyve refused to even attempt to help. Some employees blamed their lack of help on being uneducated about a computer. This difficult task just included sending an email, which they used to respond to the request. Overall, theyve been extremely frustrating, unhelpful, and overall a terrible experience.

    I question the integrity of this service department. After three different service appointments I have left with future repairs quoted in the thousands. On second opinion, nothing is wrong or something that is much less. Last straw was when they replaced my coolant (per service schedule) and the AC stopped working that day. They charged for diagnostic and then said $1200 to replace the AC compressor and a half days labor. They broke something because they didn’t follow the right steps after filling the coolant. Management doesn’t help, they are very condescending and speak to people disrespectfully. Attempted multiple times to call and talk with them but you can’t get responses and when you do it’s from someone not empowered to do anything. They are rude even when you’re polite and they take politeness and ignorance.

    We are sorry to learn you feel this way regarding our service department and appreciate you bringing your concern to our attention. During your visit, our team replaced the engine coolant in your vehicle due to time and mileage. This is a separate system from the A/C system. After your visit, you had a need due to a warm spell to turn your A/C system on and found that the system was not functioning properly to cool the cabin in the vehicle. It was determined that you had a bad A/C condenser which allowed the refrigerant to leak out. The engine coolant and the A/C refrigerant are two different items cooling two different systems in the vehicle.
