      I had some issues with my transmission and a rear passenger tire. ***** lied about 2 things. The tire he said needed replaced. It needed plugged. He said that on the phone. Needs replaced. Then he tells me I need 4 new tire sensors when I return to retrieve my valve stems they forgot to place on my tires. A low tire light came on. I told him and he said to wait in the lounge. He comes in and says he’d have to charge me for 4 new sensors on top of the 440.55 I just spent. Wow!! Plus he says he’d knock off the service charge 1/2 off I believe. He left my sensors not working and was going to charge $500 until we called and threatened with BBB. No charge next day. Then today my tire was a patch job. I went up and was rude. I need my car because I’m on disability and have several doctor appointments. These guys tried to take me for $345 tire and $500 sensors. Money is tight and if I was $845 plus tax shorter because of a con job, i’d be in a world of hurt. I called back once I calmed down and he explained that they recommend a new one. On the phone I asked if it could be patched, he said “no”… also my breath mints came up missing. Sad.

      I purchased my new 2015 XTS luxury w/ warranty from The Lima Auto Mall. They called and said the car was ready for pick-up. The salesman gave me the keys. When I approached the car, I noticed that my sunroof seals had been sliced on all four sides of the vehicle. When I told the salesman, he said, it's okay, ************* home and I will order a new seat of seals. I refused. I requested that he keep the car and order the seals. I would pick up the car along with the seals once they arrived. [Please see other reviews at ******************************************** (who switched parts on my interior) ****** Cadillac, and ********** Cadillac.] They're all getting reviews today. All of my issues have been with the service departments. In 2021, I wanted to replace my car. Lima Cadillac only had used sedans on their lot because of a chip shortage. The only sedans they had were used. The few new vehicles they had at the time were SUV's. Now, they're changing over to electric but when you compare the vehicle's performance of the CT4, for example, the ratings are poor. The interiors aren't luxury, they're smaller, cheaper quality and the sunroof is half the size of my 2015. Cadillac's 4th quarter sales in 2023 dropped 28% percent. The quality of the brand has declined significantly and unfortunately, the quality of their manufacturing has declined as well. As much as I've loved my car, despite the ***** beginning, I can honestly say that I've never felt like a valued customer. Thank you.
