Took over 2 hours for a 10:00 appointment.
Took over 2 hours for a 10:00 appointment. Business manager tried to sell me an extended warranty. I said NO immediately. He continued, citing many unnecessary examples. After a very painful half hour, I said NO. His attitude towards me turned and he was very unfriendly. Gas tank was on 93 miles to empty. First time I didn’t have a full tank after purchase. Probably last time I would deal with this dealership. I liked the manager Dave. Wish he would have been more involved.

Scheduling this service and detail was pretty simple.
Scheduling this service and detail was pretty simple. I appreciated how simple and accessible they made dropping off my truck, having access to a loaner vehicle and then coordinating with my schedule to make this VIP influencer collaboration, fun, simple, and accessible. My only feedback would be I know that the complementary detail was a perk of the collaboration however, when I picked up my truck, there was still dirt left inside the car and my truck bed still had mud (I could send pictures.)So when I was videoing and taking pictures for highlight reel, I purposefully did not include that so as to not shine a negative light on the final product. Overall, though I was happy with receiving the complementary detail and everyone was super friendly and welcoming, and really gave my kids a wonderful experience.
