    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    I was having transmission issues with my 2018 Chevy Silverado. I have the “Beaty Lifetime Powertrain” so, I brought my truck into the service department on 4/19/24. They told me they would run diagnostics and let me know what they find. Well on 4/24 they call me and tell me the transmission does need to be replaced and the motor mount is broken and I will need to bring in all your trucks maintenance records. The next day 4/25 I bring in all my records just to be denied on 5/3 due to lack of proper maintenance. Very disappointed at this point as I was having jumping and transmission issues since I had the car but, since I was assured all would be covered as long as I own the vehicle I was not to worried. Big mistake. Not only did they not cover my warranty when I went to pick up my vehicle they drove it up front for me and it was covered in hundreds of blackberries that have now etched into my paint and on the inside on my car. (see pictures attached) I would like the repair that was warranted fixed as this was an ongoing problem. I would also like for my car to be professionally detailed inside and out. I would also like to have this service done at a different Chevrolet dealership as I am emotionally distressed over this whole ordeal.

    Absolute worst service center I’ve ever experienced. I bought a 2021 Chevy Colorado from Beaty Chevy. Purchasing experience was fine. They sold me on the included oil change package with the purchase. The only thing they didn’t tell me was that it is nearly impossible to get oil changes there. Often times they will be booked out several weeks. When I could finally get an appointment it always took several hours at minimum for them to change the oil. One time the oil was changed (which again took 4 hours). They never called me to tell me it was done. When I went back on my own, I found out it was done, got my keys from them, and left. 2 hours later they called me to alert me that my truck, which is now parked in my garage, has been finished. Aside from the terrible oil change experiences, my recent attempt at getting my truck serviced was awful. My check engine light had come on and my fan was running long after I turned the car off. I called the service department multiple times, on multiple days, and left multiple voicemails. I never received a call back. Finally, I found a way through the app to book an appointment. They were booked out 2 weeks, but I still made the appointment. When I showed up 20 minutes before my scheduled appointment, they told me it would be weeks before they would be able to work on my truck. I then asked if I could find out at least what was wrong with it. They told me if I paid them **** they could take it to the back and “get to it at some point”. I asked if they had an estimate how long that would take. The gentleman then looked at his watch and then at me and said “well is 3 o’clock now and we leave at 5:30 so sometime in that range”. Unbelievably awful experience. I would never recommend them to my worst enemy for service. I will never be back to them, and I would never buy a car or truck from them in the future. I hope this serves as a fair warning for anyone who is looking to buy a Chevy or use Beaty for their service.
