Dealership Service Review

1 out of 5 starsservice Rating
I am never ever coming back for car service.
Written by INotReturnin on 07/03/2023

Here is my most honest review that I can give. But in summary, I will never ever return to your Doge/Jeep/Fiat dealership tried. I really tried to schedule my car to be serviced via the online service scheduler. After several minutes searching for it, I found it at the very bottom of a very long web page. After submitting my information, it made the appointment at the BMW of Encinitas. But since it was being moved to Carlsbad and my car is a Dodge. My appointment was cancelled. After many tries, I give up and called your service phone number, but nobody answered after letting ring on and on and on and on and on, finally going to voicemail. I took a day off work to go the service department at the Dodge dealership in Carlsbad. But they did not have a part and could not service my car that day. I made an appointment for the next week. After leaving the dealership, the service manager called me and told me that I had to return and pre-pay for a $70 filter that they did not have. The cashier and the service manager argued about needing some approval for the part and I waited until the service manager finally returned with a new form and I paid for the part. I took off yet another day of work and I arrived a half hour before my appointment. There is not line for the appointment so I had to get into one of the two lanes. I told one of the service people that I had an appointment and he informed one of the service managers. The car in from of me needed to leave and I backed out a little so he could get his car out of line. Two other cars in the other lane cut in front of me. Nobody did anything about it and I have to wait a full hour before a service manager re-took my information. My service should have only taken two hours to perform, but my car was not done after five and a half hours after my arrival at the service center. There were only two out of five service managers that day and they were very very busy. The service manager forgot that I had already pre-paid for the filter last week and after reminding him of it several times, I finally paid over $500 dollars bring the total cost of the service to over $600.00. The next time my Dodge car needs dealer service, I will be driven past Carlsbad to go over 50 miles to San Diego or some other city that does not have an AutoNation Dodge dealership.
