    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Resolved
    12/15/23 I took my 2019 Buick Encore to Southern. The first call from service I was told that the Turbo Charger needed to be replaced, but first would try to replace the air duct to see if that fixed the problem. I was told the turbo charger is covered under the PowerTrain warranty but the air duct was not. I asked why the Turbo Charger wasn’t replaced & I was told by service that they just don’t replace the turbo charger without doing this repair first. So according to service the air duct fixed the problem and I owed $*** & that the Turbo Charger didn’t even need to be replaced. I got the car back 12/18/23, had the car for 2 weeks & the same service light came back. I stopped at Southern on 1/3/24 & the employee from service hooked up the computer to read the code -Turbo Charger. We went into the service area, he placed the order for the Turbo Charger & told me he would call when it was in. The Turbo Charger came in but hoses are on back order to make the full Turbo Charger replacement possible. As of 1/29/24 I am still waiting. I have been told they are on indefinite back order. It’s been 26 days since I took the car for the second time for the same repair. I have paid $*** for a repair that didn’t fix anything. I have talked to the General Manager of Southern GMC Lynnhaven, I have talked to the service department and all I’m told is I will get a call when the parts are in stock. I have asked for a loaner car and apparently none are available and I’m like #7 in line for a loaner. I went to Southern to ask for a quote on buying my car, they gave me a low offer and told me the car would just sit on there lot until the parts arrived for repair!?! This is bad business and is unacceptable. I am waiting for a resolution, an offer for a refund of a repair that didn’t fix a problem. A loaner car until parts arrive. A response to fix the problem that never was repaired correctly the first time.

    In my opinion, I was scammed from this business. I searched online for a specific car and was contacted by the dealership in question. I was told they had this particular car on the lot. I went to the dealership after I read through the sticker price on this particular vehicle. The MSRP on the vehicle was a little over ***. When I was handed the price and the "you don't have a choice" add ons such as lojack, the base price was ***, not including the no optional options. I mentioned this was ** over the sticker price and was told this is due to demand and supply. I stated you, the dealership contacted me, stating you had some on the lot, so the supply is not an issue in this instance. Also, you have to pick a package or all packages, so there are even more charges. Then of course the tax, title and tags. A car with a STICKER price of *** and add-ons that were not upgraded optional add-ons, ended up being ***. I have never in my life felt more scammed. The ad, the website, the sticker price, that I have a copy of stated MSRP of ***. How in the world does the base price change to ***???? I ended up paying *** for a base model car when the top model of this car starts at ****
