              We have had our cruise control worked on at Merit Chevrolet and it took 3 visits and 13 hours to get our cruise control fixed, we reached out to the executive referral team, and they did help a little. After 3 visits and 13 hours later, we asked for a couple of free oil changes. They said we have a rewards card that gives people points for discounts on parts and service, However the customer earns those points. We are asking for free oil changes due to our inconveniences. We have purchased 6 vehicles over the years, and they will not reach out to us and give us a couple of free oil changes, this goes to show you the loyally. this company has to keeping hard working devoted customers happy. Upon being treated like this we will seek better treatment from a different dealership.

              BAD DIAGNOSTIC MAKE ME PAY $8,000 for a transmission that doesn't need to be replaced at the moment or wasn't causing the problem that i was trying to fix since 2022. I been dropping off and picking up my car probably more that 30 times for the same problem since 2022 having me to pay rent cars for weeks while they hold my car, and they can't fix it or found the problem yet! also, they don't want to refund any of the $8,000 that i had to pay for no reason and my car still have a weird vibration that doesn't feel any good while driving. i lost lot of money every time i had to come back to drop my car off so many times already I'm really sick with this unprofessional dealer and i start a legal process with them.
