      Complaint Type:
      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Answered
      While on a business trip in Peoria, IL on 11/7/22 the transmission on my 2015 GMC Sierra failed and was taken to Hiller Automotive. On 11/18/22 I paid $7,602.68 for a new transmission with a 3 year 100,000 mile warranty. Driving back to TX the transmission didn’t seem to be shifting correctly. On 11/21/22 I called ************** for a warranty location and to file a claim and spoke with *****. She provided claim #****** and directed me to a **** location in Rosehill, KS which was close to where I would be for Thanksgiving. On 11/23/22 I took the vehicle to that location where a man took a look at it and then told me that it seems fine. The transmission continued to shift hard and then started making a strange noise. I took it to ******* ****** ********* in Henderson, TX. On 6/28/23 they informed me that the transmission had failed, there were metal shavings in the transmission and on the dip-stick. ******* ****** contacted Hiller Automotive and Hiller directed ******* ****** to the “transmission vendor”. The vendor wanted the core shipped to them and said it could take 3-6 weeks to repair and send back to TX. They also wanted pictures and reports which were sent. I work. I can’t be without a vehicle for any extended period. On 6/30/23 I paid ******* ****** $6,095.68 for a new transmission. On 7/3/23 I called ***** at Hiller and he said there were protocols to follow with vendor and he would call me back. On 7/5/23 ***** called me and said he dumped it in the vendor’s lap and he would call me. On 7/10/23 I called ***** and he said an adjuster was looking into and he would keep me posted. On 7/21/23 I called ***** and he wasn’t available. On 7/24/23 I called ***** and he said “seems they’re gonna play ball. Everyone understands I had to get vehicle back on the road and I had to go out of pocket on another transmission “. ***** said he would keep me posted. I called ***** on: 8/8/23, 8/9 8/16 8/30 9/20 9/22 9/29 10/13. No resolution.

      Completely dissatisfied with my recent transaction by Greg at 2959 S. *********!! This dealer took advantage of the customer, lied about needing extra items to make a profit off this deal. When I called he claimed he does not make a profit off the tires purchased online and this is why he has to charge and make up things customers need to make up for the profit loss. I am extremely disappointed in this dealer and I believe I am due a refund for the felonious extra charges of $131.54 for lug nuts I can get for $30.00. They refused a refund and hung up the phone on me. I prepaid for a full set of tires so my college daughter would not have to be treated this way and that is exactly what happened. He convinced her of something that was completely untrue and I know this because I typically do the work on this car and as a matter of fact I just looked at all her lugs to ensure they were in good shape. This is completely uncalled for and the store manager chose to lie to me as well as to my daughter about the transaction. It is completely ridiculous that this dealer who claims to treat his customers like family and then take advantage of a young woman like this.

      We understand Mrs, **** perspective. Hiller Automotive decided to refund the charge for the lug nuts. We believe we did nothing wrong. Refund was for customer satisfaction.

      Mike from Hiller automotive did provide a refund for the unnecessary charge. Though we found a common ground the road to customer service was quite bumpy. I appreciate the solution.
