Well what can I say, this review would have been 5 stars and I would have been very satisfied but, I have left multiple messages for Fernando in finance and have yet to hear back. I have received 4 hits on my credit from our purchase of our new GMC Yukon. Fernando said when we were there that it was being financed through Bank Of America and never said anything about MULTIPLE CREDIT INQUIRIES. I called Fernando on Monday after receiving a seconds credit inquiry and was able to speak to him. He stated we are using Bank Of America and you shouldn't see any other inquiries hit you credit report. He then stated it shouldn't make a difference of how many inquiries you get in the next 14 days since they'll combine them. I told him Fernando that whether they combine them or not, he never received our approval to send our info over to multiple banks. He again stated you were approved by Bank Of America so you shouldn't see anymore credit inquiries. Tuesday morning We received two more credit inquiries, I again called Fernando but this time there was no response so I left a message. I never received a call, text or email from him. Wednesday I tried Fernando again and same outcome, voicemail left. Thursday morning and I'm pretty upset that I hadn't received a call so I called and spoke to floor manager. I gave him the whole story. He apologized and said sorry Fernando is with a customer but I'll look at your file. I spent about five minutes on hold while he looked everything up. When he came back on the phone he stated "yes I see here that you loan is being financed through Bank Of America and that all inquires should stop. I then let the floor manager know that at no point did Fernando let us know about multiple credit inquiries and that from the moment we sat down in front of him it was Bank of America. He again apologized for the misunderstanding and we completed our call. Now Friday afternoon I receive another credit inquiry, I again pick up the phone and call Fernando. I am again greeted by this persons voicemail. I left him a third message to which I again got no response. I then Called Edith Ramirez which is there customer relations manager and was also greeted with her voicemail. I left Edith a vm and gave it a couple hours. Again no call back from anyone. This dealer is just in it for the money and doesn't care about the customer once you're gone. I would think after spending 65K they would get back to me in a timely manner. Update Friday 6/30/2017 I called Cerritos GMC and asked for Martin my sales person. I went over my situation with him. He was sincere and apologetic about the situation. He even stated I don't know why they do multiple credit inquiries and that it happened to his family member also without their knowledge. Martin then walked over to Fernando and asked him about our loan and was told that now our loan is through Ally Financial. I thanked Martin for his time and concluded my call with him. I then called Ally Financial to confirm my account with them and they have no record of account for me. This situation is getting more and more disturbing to me. We have had the vehicle for a week and can't get a straight answer on who we are financing through. I will never shop at Penske GMC in Cerritos again and I will not recommend any friends or family to this location or any Penske location. Later in the day I received a call from Martin Ruelas asking me to please give them a very satisfied on the GMC survey. Martin stated I'll make it worth your while and give you a free oil change and a feee tank of gas. I let Martin know that I was not interested in his free services and that potential customer need to know what is going on at Penske GMC. I then emailed the owner Phillip Hartz directly since we had his information from when we were there. I let him know everything that has transpired and was hoping for a call back from him or even an email back apologizing for his companies lack of customer service. I didn't receive a call from anyone, if the owner can't respond how do we expect the sales people or finance people to respond. Update Friday 7/7/2017 Finally found out who we are financed through. It only took two weeks and a response from no one. Keep up the great work Penske GMC. I hope customers read this and go else where. Please do not shop at Penske GMC. Read all the negative reviews, they are all accurate and a lot of it happened to us. Drive a few extra miles and shop at Hardin GMC. They are great there. Wish I would have purchased my vehicle there. My credit score went down 70 points because of this company. This is unacceptable, someone from this company needs to contact me and take care of this before I get a lawyer.
