Dealership Service Review

You couldn't pay me to shop here again
Written by Kristen on 07/21/2021
Ourisman sold us a used car and one day after driving it off the lot, the front strut started making noises, the display screen started shorting out, a piece on the exterior popped out of place, the steering wheel became hard to turn, and the car began accelerating slowly. In the four weeks that followed, we made five trips out to the dealership and had a total of one of these issues resolved. 1. We showed up for appointments they made for us, only to be told we weren’t on the books and they didn’t have time to look at our car. 2. We showed up for appointments they made for us, only to be told that the part they said would be in hadn’t arrived — not their fault, but why not call to cancel my appointment? 3. We confirmed with supervisors on the phone and via email the issues we needed them to resolve, only to show up and be told that they didn’t have any idea what we were talking about and we needed to bring it back another day. 4. We were told we’d be given loaner cars via phone and email, only to show up and be told they had no loaner cars for us. We live in DC and the dealership is in Alexandria, which makes for very expensive Ubers. 5. We were told they would fix our display screen that had been shorting out, only to show up and be told that they couldn’t do this and we needed to make an appointment at another Ourisman location. 6. They allegedly fixed the strut and mount but it is still making a knocking noise and whatever they did did not fix the problem...again. This entire process required 12+ hours of time off work, for nothing. They talk to you like you’re an idiot. They act confused when you try to confirm details in person that were discussed via phone or email. They get mad when you let them know details had been confirmed via phone and email. They offer no apologizes for any inconveniences caused. They do not care about your time lost. Terrible communication. Horrible customer service. They love making sales. They hate helping customers. I’ve truly never had a worse experience with any company. If I could undo this purchase, I would in a second.
