Dealership Sales Review

Will not be returning
Written by CatJohnson on 08/26/2024

We will not be returning to Vandergriff Chevy due to the excessive wait time we experienced after purchasing our vehicle. We traveled three hours specifically to buy a particular model. Despite arriving at 8:50 am for our 9 am appointment with Cecilia D.—who was unavailable at the time—we were assisted by Daniel P. The test drive and sales negotiations were completed around 10:30 am. However, we waited until approximately 1:00 pm to finalize everything with Jessica in Finance. Finance faced some challenges with equipment, but Paris stepped in to help with printing the paperwork. We were then informed by Daniel that our vehicle was still in PDI and awaiting detailing. This was particularly frustrating as we had been assured that the vehicle would go directly to PDI and detailing after the negotiation was finished. We ended up waiting an additional two hours for the vehicle after completing the finance process. In total, we spent over six hours trying to complete this purchase. In my thirty years of buying cars, I have never experienced such a long wait. The updates from Daniel were inaccurate, and we received only one follow-up from Sales Manager Parks immediately after the purchase, with no further communication during the four and a half hours of waiting. The Sales Manager should have kept us better informed about the vehicle's status. Daniel should have been clearer about the delay, and your service center needs to address why the PDI and detailing took so long. After the sale, Daniel mentioned that we would receive a survey and encouraged us to let him know if we were dissatisfied. I was honest with him before leaving, stating that Vandergriff Chevy had failed us and that we would not be returning. I cannot, in good faith, recommend Vandergriff to others looking to buy a vehicle.
