LaFontaine Rocks!
by ewilliams on 03/20/2023Caden and Jason were wonderful salesman, I loved speaking with both of them. I'm convinced this dealership was the only one in Southeast MI who had the vehicle I wanted. Jessica in finance was an absolute delight. I'll definitely recommend… LaFontaine to all my friends and family! You guys are top tier!!Hi, we are very happy to have provided you with such a positive experience! If you have any further questions, please give us a call. We're always happy to help!
Best Experience
by Michelle on 01/19/2023I would highly recommend Emran (sales) and April (finance). They were both fantastic to work with. I was looking for a specific 2023 Surburdon and happen to come across this one whiel searching on the chevrolet website. I contacted the… dealership via chat and Emran immediatley called me to talk about the Suburban that I inquired about. I knew I had a unique situation being 4 hrs away and needed to find a dealership that I felt like I could really trust. I never had any doubts after talking to Emran. He followed through with everything that he said he could do. Emran sent me the all the details and paperwork, I trusted Emran so much that I purchased this Suburban without even seeing it and they delivered it to me 4 hrs away. I have purchased many cars throughout the years and this was by far the easiest and smoothest experience. Thank you Emran and April for creating the best experience!Hi Michelle, thank you for your kind review; we are happy to pass along your comments to the team here at LaFontaine Chevrolet!

Great dealership - Ask for Brett!
by Kendall Goddard on 01/04/2023Had such a great experience working with Brett at LaFontaine Dexter. I found the perrrrrfect Suburban I had been looking for and Brett was able to promptly get me in for an appointment and he made the entire process enjoyable and… seamless. He worked hard to find me incentives that ultimately saved me thousands. He went out of his way to make sure I was comfortable with the vehicle and all of it’s features and took so much time out of his busy day to give me a really great customer service experience. The entire dealership seemed friendly, professional and knowledgeable. From the finance department to the service department. I would highly recommend working with Brett and I will definitely be a customer for life!Hi Kendall, we are so happy to read such a great review about LaFontaine Chevrolet! We hope to see you soon!
Not happy with LaFontaine Chevrolet in Dexter, Michigan.
by Michigan on 07/22/2022The key faub on my 2018 Chevrolet Traxx hasn't worked for the last few months, but I've always been able to get into my car and start it via the old way in the 1980s, by putting the key in the key hole to unlock the door. Whoever runs… Chevrolet now decided to activate the anti-theft deterrent on my 2018 Chevrolet Traxx last Saturday, and I couldn't start my car. I am grateful LaFontaine Chevrolet in Dexter, Michigan. I was just in your dealership a couple of months ago , and not one, I repeat not one of your service technicians said anything about needing to get my key faub fixed, even though it was very evident I needed a new key faub then. I am the primary caregiver for my 84 year old Father who has, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), 2 time Cancer survivor, chronic Diabetic, blood sepsis, we had to pay $3,000 for him last month for new hearing aids, and now he needs new diabetic shoes, he is prone to blood clots, and YOU GUYS think nothing of charging me $651.00 for something the original estimate was only $251.00. The actual amount is over $600.00, and the original estimate was $251.00. I make only $1,500 a month working 120 hours a week taking care of my sick Dad. It is very dirty what LaFontaine Chevrolet did to me. Very, very dirty.Hi, we can assure you that we do not find this type of behavior acceptable, and we would like to address the situation you have described. Our manager would really like to speak with you more regarding this matter. Please reach out to us at (734) 680-8850. We look forward to hearing from you.
Shady Trade-in Practices
by cclamz on 10/18/2021I would never recommend LaFontaine Chevrolet after my awful and insulting trade-in experience. We live over an hour away from the dealer, so we were able to handle almost everything about the purchase of the used vehicle we would be buying… via email and text. When I asked about my trade-in, the salesperson, Lakya Cook, sent me the link for the dealer's KBB instant cash offer site (the same site that is linked to from their homepage and every vehicle detail page on their site). I entered the information for our vehicle and received what seemed like a fair offer of $12,700, which was emailed to me. When we got to the dealership, we test drove the used vehicle we were buying and decided to purchase. We were handed off to the business manager, who told us that our trade was worth $8,000. While we knew there might be a couple minor things that would lower its value, this was 37% less than their instant cash offer! I told the business manager that I had the KBB instant cash offer email that showed the $12,700, and he asked me to forward to him. He then went and got the sales manager. The sales manager acted like he had never heard of the instant cash offer, and was curious where we got it. I told him one of your salespeople directed me to it and it was specific for this dealer. He then said "nobody uses KBB and even after cleaning our vehicle he would probably only be able to get $11,000 for it", which isn't even close to dealer retail. He then said he would give us $9,000 for the confusion. My wife and I contemplated it for a while and probably should have kept the vehicle and sold it to another dealer or by ourselves, but we took the $9,000 offer. After getting home, I researched the KBB instant cash offer and found the following in their FAQs: "What if the Participating Dealer I go to won't match the amount on my Instant Cash Offer? Participating Dealers are required to honor your Instant Cash Offer, provided the information and condition you provided when creating your Offer are confirmed to be accurate by the Participating Dealer. If the information is not correct, the Participating Dealer can update the information using the same online tool you used to generate the Instant Cash Offer for your car, and the update may result in a modified Offer amount. So, the more details you enter about the condition of your car, the more accurate your Offer will be." and this: "Participating Dealers pay a monthly subscription to participate in and receive leads through the Instant Cash Offer Program. Offers provided through the Instant Cash Offer Program are calculated and generated by a proprietary appraisal tool intended to generate a price reflecting a liquid cash offer to be honored by a Participating Dealer irrespective of whether you are purchasing another vehicle from that Participating Dealer. Instant Cash Offer Program guarantees to Participating Dealers that your vehicle will be worth at least the amount of the Offer. Participating Dealers are not owned or operated by, nor are they acting on behalf of, Kelley Blue Book, and, except as described herein, are not otherwise affiliated with Kelley Blue Book. If you redeem your Instant Cash Offer at a Participating Dealer, you will have the option of either using your Instant Cash Offer to trade in your vehicle or to sell your car for a check. If your Instant Cash Offer does not identify a Participating Dealer near you, please call our customer service department at 1-866-559-5268 or send us an email to request this information." Not only did the dealer not meet the requirements of participating in the KBB instant cash offer program, they never even provided me with a valuation of the trade-in vehicle which would detail how they came to their valuation. I filed a complaint with KBB and they said it would be escalated to their dealer relations team. I also tried to contact both the General Manager, Shadrick Bennet, and our salesperson Jason Nabrozny, and neither have returned my calls or emails. The whole experience was just shady. I would avoid Lafontaine Chevrolet if you can. There are plenty of other reputable dealers in the metro Detroit area that wouldn't play these games and give you a fair offer.Oil Change
by McNutty19 on 06/05/2018Everything went pretty well as expected. It just took a little longer than I thought.Unreal
by Peklo1se on 05/01/2018updated 05/09/2018Tony duncan and his staff and the gentlemens name who I cant recall were incredible. Such a painless and easy process. I will never shop anywhere for a car again.Amazing service
by Alicia82 on 04/16/2018updated 04/23/2018Tony Duncan, was my sales man the last 2 lease vehicles Ive had. He is honest and doesnt try to sugarcoat or lie to get a deal.Pleased customer
by tnsmith1970 on 04/21/2018I came into the dealership looking to purchase a used vehicle but instead was able to purchase a brand new one instead. Although my options were limited, my sales person and the finance dept told me the numbers. Not pleased with the car… payment itself, but I can manage it for now.My best car buying experience-EVER.
by DDishes on 04/21/2018I bought my 2018 Chevy Equinox from Lafontaine based on the fact that my husband had previously purchased 2 Chevys from Lafontaine and I was so impressed by the level of customer service and support he received. I was actually considering a… few different (non-Chevy) vehicles but ultimately decided to go with Chevy based on what I have said above. We live about 10 miles from Dexter (and have a local Chevy dealer only about 5 minutes away from us) but would only consider going to LaFontaine.Good experience
by Satisfied173 on 04/11/2018updated 04/19/2018Good experience. Easy in and easy out. I ordered a new truck from the factory. The dealership called me when it arrived. Paperwork and new car were ready to go with minimal time in dealership.Happy with new purchase
by Johnrob1 on 03/11/2018I had Kevin Puente as a sales person, very knowledgeable. Got exactly what I was asking for in a timely matter.Great Experience
by Ozzie2017 on 03/06/2018Purchased a 2018 Traverse as a surprise for my wife whose lease was nearly up for a trade. Not knowing if she'd like the color, they let me take the vehicle overnight. She was super happy and surprised.Great service
by boymom2011 on 01/29/2018Service and facility were amazing, the prices could be much more competitive, especially to replace the cabin filter.Purchase a car
by 123happy1 on 09/26/2017updated 10/10/2017The gentleman ( Robert Halfacre) was amazing! He worked with us for the last few months to find me what I really wanted and needed.

I am very grateful to him for all he did to help me and for his guidance. He knows how to take care of his customers and how to make everything bring simple .

by sarahslaw on 10/02/2017Joel and Aaron were extremely professional, friendly, and fair. The buying experience at LaFontaine Chevrolet was the best we have had, and we will return to them for any future purchases. Thank you for making car buying enjoyable!Great Experience
by Brimstone1 on 09/05/2017updated 09/26/2017Becky and De'anna did an awesome job. I dealt more with Becky towards the end and she went above and beyond. Even communicated with me after normal business hours b/c I had additional questions. I work in the customer service industry… and these are the kinds of employees that we'd like to have more of and that go on to do great things...amazing service
by stschelsea on 09/09/2017updated 09/26/2017The best service we've had in years. It's good to have the customer first attitude in all dealings.
