I brought my Chev Cruze in for what most would agree is - Wreck your car
I brought my Chev Cruze in for what most would agree is straight forward repairs. A fuel injector, injector cleaning , throttle body service, plugs, transmission and coolant change.I was greeted by Steven Webster (service advisor). Brought it in Thursday afternoon and Monday I was called saying it was ready. I got one minute down the road and the engine light was flashing. The car also was jerking.Wait! Steven said “I will be shocked how good it drives”. I brought it back and was told someone will be on it after lunch. I was called with a useless update with Steven telling me they hadn’t driven it but sometimes the transmission sometimes needs updates after a drain and fill, he later told my wife he shouldn’t have said that. (Because it’s not true)
They said they can’t figure out what’s wrong and need it into the next day. Next day my car is sitting outside and Steven says they still are looking into it. I asked to speak to management and was met by Greg Emmons. Needless to say he was no help. “Did you authorize the repair” Yes ! , expecting someone who knows what they’re doing to fix it properly. He went on, “Where working short” “ If you want money back I’ll take the parts and the fluids” He then asked why I’m still standing in his office. What a leader this guy is, If I can remember they ruined my car! No longer trusting this dealer , I took my poor running vehicle to Roy Nichols. Two hours later a diagnosis. Cowan broke a brand new spark plug #2 , broke the plug on my #4 coil . Also did not calibrate the throttle body after a service which Roy Nichols states is part of the job. This sickens me , sickens me knowing I spent $1800 at Cowan . Roy Nichols additional $422 . My wife brought the parts back to Cowan and upon further conversation found out the service advisor Steven Webster worked on my car. “Cause we are short staffed”. A guy who said he has 20 years experience in the industry. This is wrong on every level and inexcusable. This happened on Greg Emmons watch. How long has this been going on to others I thought? Cowan paid the $422 and gave another $400 back as well . Hardly worth my trust and headache. It’s infuriating to be treated like a hassle in the manager office at Cowan . Full well Greg knowing unqualified people are working on your car and breaking new parts, not following protocol on service done. Words can’t describe this experience. I wouldn’t let them put air in a tire. Do not bring your vehicle here, trust me cause you can’t trust them.
