I brought my Yukon in for a few issues one being the windshield and they didn’t even clean it to address the issue wrote dirty on paperwork. Have a rattle in the back said they greased the stoppers. Rattle is still there. My car was there for two day and nothing was fixed. Don’t think they really even looked at my car to try and fix it.the service people are very nice but can not explain the work that was done very well

They forged my signature on a contract and sent it to the finance company. It changed my trade value by 8k, the residual on the lease was higher. I told them about it and they didn’t give a care in the world. The worst part is they haven’t even made it right and I bought this truck in October of last year. Go to Heyward Allen if you want a GMC. Same pricing, and they are honest. Don’t buy from these crooks!!!

The items fixed have not been repaired properly.

The items fixed have not been repaired properly. Still have maintenance lights on, still have loud squeaky brakes, and have been given no feedback on the oil leak. Was told I would have to bring it back when they could look into it more. Why? The car was with the service department for the day. I’m having to bring my car back for the third time to try and get the items fixed. My overall experience is poor

JUAN URDANETA is ALL I should say! Juan was THE best in handling everything and all paperwork required for my recent purchase prior to me coming on the lot. He was proficient, easy to work with and very professional in making sure I made my sons baseball practice on time. His prompt and immediate responses to my questions or concerns were addressed head on. Thank YOU Juan for making my truck buying experience pleasurable and quick! His quote is you’ve WON with Juan and that was certainly the case!!
