    The beginning I purchased a new $83k truck with 5 miles on it from this dealer the day before I was called by the salesman and told that they would have it detailed and ready to pick up I got there it was a cloudy rainy day this is a black truck so you could not see the finish very well

    when I got home and the sun was out started looking at it it has scratches and swirl marks all the way around it I sent pictures to the dealer they agreed to pick up the truck and fix it they come down two days later and got it a couple days after they said it was finished and brought it back but as soon as I walked up to it it looked like nothing had changed there was still big scratches and swirl marks from a buffer all the way around the vehicle

    so I called and I took it back on a Monday they were gonna have their body shop do it again Friday they said it was done I met them and it still look just the same and even worse in some places

    I then found a GM body shop **** ******* of Dayton that does ** paint warranty work took it to them for a quote and was told it needs a several step process to correct the problem the body shop manager from **** ******* sent the manager of **** ********************** a quote for the cost

    **** ********************** refused to cover the cost and wanted me to bring it back to them a third time.

    They had two opportunities to correct the problems they created detailing it the first time and made it worse each time so I had to pay **** ******* to have the paint correction done to the vehicle

    Complaint: 23298766

    I am rejecting this response because: 

    The original complaint was supposed to start out with bought the vehicle at the beginning of February 

    The vehicle had 5 miles on it when purchased no vehicle comes from the factory looking like this. They created the problem to start with then their body shop had two opportunities to correct it and made it worse each time so why would I take it back a third time to the same place that cant fix it  

    If you want something done right you dont keep going back to someone that messes it up you find someone that knows what theyre doing and is capable of correcting the issues

    We have a van that developed an oil usage issue - 2 quarts a week. After Walberg had it for 60 days, they finally put another engine in it- under warranty. Less than 1 week later it was back in the shop. They wanted $1,800 to replace 3 injectors. We said no and literally had it towed to another shop who did the work for $600. It turns out that wasn't even the issue (even though we told Walberg it wasn't). So we took it to Byers. They discovered that Walberg had messed up the engine replacement. We had to pay ***** $800 to fix it. Today we met with Walberg. Their response- they would pay the $600 bill but refused to pay the $800. And that was the one that actually fixed it. Fixed what they did wrong in the 1st place to cause the issues. Their reason- we didn't give them a call when the injectors didn't work. After they had the van for 2 months and we lost revenue from not having a van available during our busiest season of the year, we were not about to call them back!

    Any reimbursement for work outside the dealership would have to be approved by myself upfront. We will not reimburse anything after the fact as it puts us ina position where customers can go do whatever they want and have a blank check. 

    Business Response

    Date: 07/15/2024

    I understand the frustration but once again I did not agree to reimburse any repair that we did not know about. I cannot just give customer blank check to go do work without approval

    Customer Answer

    Date: 07/16/2024

    They DID agree to pay
    for work that another shop did (the fuel injectors were done elsewhere),  We
    also want reimbursed for having the work repaired that they did wrong after
    having our van to be examined/diagnosed on two separate occasions.

    I went to Mark Wahlberg Buick Delership in Columbus, Ohio on Thursday, April 25th for a 11:00 oil change. I was told it didn't need changed yet, but it seemed like it was running rough. They would check it out. They told me it was leaking oil and smoking really bad not worth fixing. It wasn't smoking when I went there and it wasn't leaking oil or I would have noticed that in my driveway.

    I was sent over to buy a new car cause I couldn't drive mine it wasn't safe. Went through the bullshit over there, I said had to leave for another appt. Was told again I couldn't drive car not safe and smoking. I got my keys and took off. Car was smoking so bad i knew they did something. They tampered and put oil on my car!! I went to car wash and sprayed off exhaust pipe and guess what? It's not smoking!!! How many people have they done this to?

    I bought a ***** *** from Mark Wahlberg Chevy in June of 2021 in January of 2021 I started having trouble with my suspension I took my truck in to be service at GMC and they kept my truck for 5 months no loaner vehicle given and I paid my deductible and they claimed it was fixed. Took it back to GMC in January of 2023 for the same issues and they said they was sending it to ***** for diagnostics. Came back suspension again. They kept it for about 5-6 months again that they only gave me a loaner vehicle for two weeks of that 5-6 months. Now it’s back at GMC January 2024 with the same suspension issues. This time they have sent it to ***** again. Now they want to charge me 2900 out of pocket to fix it yet again. I have done with out the vehicle I’m paying payment for about half the time I have owned it. It’s been very stressful and have to get rides and pay for rides and miss work due to all the time I have had no vehicle. If this would have been properly inspected and diagnosed the first time we wouldn’t be where we are today and me out of all the money and time I have wasted.

    Complaint: 21366811



    I am rejecting this response because:

    We do not agree with only $500 off after everything we have been through due to GMC Mark Wahlberg inability to properly inspect and diagnose our truck and fix it the first time. Each time we have had to call regarding what was going on, and where the truck is in the process. This whole situation has caused an extreme amount of stress as we both work in healthcare and can simply not just not go to work. As stated before, we have two vehicles for a reason. I feel that our truck has been inspected 2 times before this and was not inspected correctly, this company has been negligent in their ability to run diagnostics and fix a problem, not only that they have used used parts while fixing the truck. This is extremely absurd and disrespectful towards customers who have purchased multiple vehicles from them. I feel that we should be compensated a little more for the time, energy and stress these multiple visits have costed us over the last 3 years owning this truck!

    I went into Mark Wahlberg Chevrolet at the end of April 2023 to look at a 2014 Camaro. test drove it and all seemed good, so I applied for a loan through my finance and approved, and everything seemed good. My wife and I set down with the finance guy to do the paperwork and was offered a extended warranty it. I asked several questions about this warranty including what it includes I specifically asked if he included stuff like the starter, alternator and electrical. I was told it covered all of that, I also asked if there was a limit to it in case more than one thing went wrong with it and was told no limit and it would also include Maintenance. we said great we will take it if it covers all that stuff. They said it does, wrote it up, we signed and agreed to pay for that warranty. We will fast track to 3 days later got a big rain and opened the trunk to see that it was flooded called got it in to the they said that the sunroof plugs were blocked and replaced the trunk seals. That was all taken care of the keys would also get stuck in the ignition, but we let that go and was going to get fixed. That brings us to sun June18th we are driving the car and all of a sudden, the battery quits charging. we get it home safely put it on charger and call first thing Mon morning to Wahlberg on W. broad street where we bought the car the made a appointment for us to bring it in that day. When I got there the lady told me i had a good warranty and as long as it wasn't the battery, we would be all good. She also stated that she didn't think it was the battery because they had just replaced it. I gave it till Tues afternoon to check on it the lady stated that they couldn't even get the battery to charge so they were going to have the electrical guy look at it. she also said that as long as nothing had chewed through it that it would be covered. today they found out it was the alternator and informed us it wasn't covered enough room to type whole situation so much more to tell.

    This was not the warranty that we requested and had agreed to and when we went to your employee in finance that we signed the paperwork with even stated that he may have written up the wrong warranty. He then went to the general manager because he said it was a good chance it was a mistake on his part. He then told me that he would personally try and resolve the issue. I was offered for the work to be done at a discounted rate but refused because it was still going to be 700. I was able to get the alternator for half that price that they stated the alternator (same one) and do it myself in a half hour.  When i went to do it the trunk was not put back together, they left it undone and the battery that was new was replaced with an old battery. the battery that was put back in the car was corroded and not holding a charge. (see pics attached) We also found a large, long scratch on the right front fender after picking up car from their lot. I took the car back to the lot and discussed with a lot manager and he said they would be able to look at pics from when it first came in and get back with me. The service manager called me the next day and stated that they were not responsible for damage that happened in their facility and blamed it on a tow truck that the car hadn't been towed. it was drove to and from there. offered to try and buff it out but the car had just had a $500-detail job done that included a silicone coating that would have to be redone. That is when he said they would look at it but not promise anything but was not going to repaint which wasn't asked for or wanted and not take care of the silicone treatment. and again, it was not his responsibility. I do want to state that ******* the salesman was great to work with but everything after that was horrible. All of this and I have only had the car for a little under 3 months.

    On 2/16/23 I went to Mark Wahlberg car dealership in Cols OH to look at vehicles. I had called earlier & spoke with salesperson ******* ***** and told her I would basically just be shopping around. She told me to come in & she would show me some vehicles. While standing on the lot talking to her, Dustin pulled up next to me and my husband driving a 2014 Jeep Patriot. ******* told me to take it for a test drive. When I returned I asked what the price was and she replied $14,000. She asked me to follow her into her work space & she would check my credit. Before following her into the dealership my husband pointed out to her a long scratch on the driver's side door to which she replied “that's an easy fix; we'll take care of it”.

    While sitting down with Shenita, she retrieved a few pieces of documentation from me, walked away for a min. & returned & informed me that my credit was good. She then ushered me into the accountant's office who actually said to me “come on in & sign your life away”. I took that as a joke but his joke turned out to be reality when I realized the $14,000 quote I received turned out to be $14,990; Only $10 less than $15,000.

    I took the car back at Shenita's direction to have the scratch removed a few days later. After the repairman had the car for about 15 min. he brought back the keys & said the job was finished. When I got back to the car to leave I saw the scratch was still there.

    I complained by text, by email and phone to ******* and Dustin, & during my last face-to-face complaint, *** Lynch, sales manager, shrugged his shoulders & asked me if I expected them to paint the entire car because that wasn't going to happen. My response to him was that what I didn't expect was to pay 15,000 for a car with a scratch on it that their salesperson said would be removed.

    I see paying almost 1,000 more than quoted as a scam and I see the promise to have the scratch removed as a complete fabrication in order to make a quick sale.

     We normally give all of our customers a we owe form if there is something promised during the sale. Please bring that form in anytime and we will take care of what was promised.

    Complaint: 20104513



    I am rejecting this response because:  The verbal commitment i received to repair the scratch on the jeep was not fulfilled.........After several
    communications with ******* ***** about the inept repair that was
    done on the scratch on the side door of the Jeep i purchased, I took her advice
    to speak with *** ***** or Dustin Holland about my concerns. I went
    into the dealership and met with Dustin on Wednesday, March 8th.
    First of all, I must give kudos to Dustin because he was
    very professional and cordial and he seemed to genuinely take into
    consideration the disappointment I was going through. I have a
    recording of the discussion we had when I came in to which he said he
    would be happy to have the Jeep sent out to a professional exterior
    detailing company (at no charge to me) that worked specifically on
    scratch removals and have them buff out the scratch enough to the
    point where it could bring the rest of the colors out to blend in
    with the normal paint color. In our conversation Dustin relayed to
    me that the previous owner had mentioned that the scratch came about
    when she pulled into her garage and unbeknownst to her something had
    fallen off a shelf in the garage and she scratched the door on
    whatever had fallen. (If I had known this information beforehand it
    could have played an integral part as to whether or not I bought the
    vehicle.)

    And no, I do not have a
    “we owe you this” form in regards to the $1,000 overcharge for the vehicle but what I do have is the audio recording in regards to the scratch and  I
    would be happy to bring it in so the conversation can be listened to.

    On April 5th,
    per ******** email, I took the car in with the understanding that the
    repair would be made. On April 18th I received the following email message:

    Tue,
    Apr 18 at 9:46 AM
    hello,
    we have your vehicle here and ready for pickup. 
    please stop out as soon as possible. (nothing at all was relayed to
    me that the scratch had not been removed or a reason why it hadn't
    been removed.)

    ****** ******
    Sales Manager
    Mark Wahlberg
    Buick/GMC 

    When I arrived nothing had
    changed with the scratch and when I inquired about it I was told I
    needed to speak to Dustin at the other dealership across the street.
    Dustin was not there but I spoke with *** ***** about the situation
    and he basically shrugged me off.

    On July 18th, 2022, I took CTS Cadillac to **** Wahlberg, Buick, to have my car serviced for the following issues. To include but not limited to:Under-Shield needed to be repaired and out Censor needed to be tighten up. Such service cost me $1100 and car was returned to me on July 21st, 2022.

    On October 20th, 2022.

    I took my car back to **** Wahlberg, Buick, to get my car serviced after hitting a raccoon and it causing severe damage to my front end and radiator. In which I was informed by a "****" "Service Manager Buick" by picture that zip ties are holding up my under-shield.

    Such actions en-tales negligence and fraud when my car was serviced on July 18th, 2022, For under-shield replacement. Therefore, the service department for **** Wahlberg, Buick, failed to exercise due diligence and inform me that zip ties were holding up my under-shield. As well as, failed to take the liberty of removing any and all zip-ties and replaced them with new plastic clips to hold up the under-shield in which i paid for. Failure to due so would en-tale that services could never have been rendered without removing any and all zip-ties from under carriage. As well as, **** Wahlberg, Buick, could never pass inspection before returning my car to me to suggest that services were render for under-shield replacement.

    I am rejecting this response because: **** Walhberg, Buick, Service Manager "****" on July 18th, 2022, failed to exercise due diligence and inform me that zip ties are holding up my under-shield as a result to the under-shield being damaged and needed to be replaced. Then not taking the Liberty or initiative to properly repair the under-shield by removing the zip-ties and repairing under-shield and replacing the zip ties with the necessary plastic clips  to warrant services rendered before claiming that they passed inspection and returning my car to me on July 21st, 2022. Such actions       en-tales fraud , negligence, failure to disclose  and lack thereof  of due diligence. 

    Such actions also en-tales grounds to have me reimbursed for the $1100, I spent on getting my under-shield repaired  on July 18th, 2022 and then left under the impression on July 21st, 2022, that services have been rendered and a proper inspection had been passed before returning my car to me,  Knowingly that **** Walhberg, left zip ties  holding up my under-shield. if it wasn't for me returning my car to **** Walhberg, Buick, on October 20th, 2022, i would of never none that zip ties are still holding up my under-shield.

    Therefore, I'm rejecting **** Wahlberg, Buicks response and deem it as nothing to aid in reimbursing me with the $1100 I spent on July 21st, 2022 to have my under-shield repaired.

    department on 7.18.22. He described his issue to our service department as
    follows: since the "tune up performed by the Cadillac dealer he was
    experiencing rattling/fluttering noise when accelerating"  

    Our service
    department performed a multi-point vehicle inspection, and found the under
    shield was torn, the inside fender wells were missing, and the o2 sensor
    was loose. Therefore, they flushed the transmission, installed a new
    undershield and tightened the o2 sensor for which he was charged $1052.71.

    Our records
    further reflect that he returned in October 2022 for additional service as
    he had hit a raccoon. 

    He seems to
    be upset because our service manager indicated an under shield was being held
    up by a zip tie. It seems unlikely that our service manager would have shared
    that with him had our service department done it. Please see the original
    service invoice in October which indicates that Mr. ******** said he had taken
    the car to a Cadillac dealership for service prior to bringing it to us. Please
    also understand this vehicle has multiple under shields, and our service
    department replaced one, not all. 

    At this
    time, there is nothing we can offer him. While we are sympathetic to his
    situation, in that we are sorry he hit a raccoon in October, and his car
    may have suffered some damage from it, it does not entitle him to a refund
    for work performed in July.

    Complaint: 18538427



    I am rejecting this response because: **** Walhberg, Buick, refuses to acknowledge that they did not exercise due diligence when servicing my car on July of 2022 for under -shield damage. Therefore, service were never rendered when they failed to remove zip-ties and replace with clips and or brackets while  repairing under-shield. therefore, services were never rendered when my car was diagnosed from the inception with what under-shield was being repaired and it states it on the invoice and how much for such repairs would cost after diagnosis was done. So for **** Walhberg, Buick to sit there and say that that are unaware as to which under-shield is the one that was damaged is an insult. As well as, i paid for under shield to be repaired and new clips brackets to be asserted in under-shield. To which I was under the impression that services would have be rendered had it not been for **** (**** Walhberg Buick Service Manager) sending me a picture of my under-shield being held up with zip-ties after bring him my car to be diagnosed after hitting a Raccoon. Then having an Auto Insurance adjuster from (SA) contact me in October of 2022 as to why is it zip-ties are holding my under carriage  is still beyond my belief.

    The record and attachments of pictures of zip-ties holding up my under-shield speak in volume. Therefore, it accounts for fraud, Misrepresentation of facts, Dereliction of duty, Lack of Due diligence when services were not rendered that i paid for in the amount of $1100. This , also en-tales that my car could never pass an inspection for safety and security measures when zip-ties were left holding up my under-shield after paying for such services to have under-shield repaired.

    So for **** Wahlberg, Buick, representative to suggest that they won't  be refunding me with my money and asking to have a second look at my car to fix the problem that should of been fixed when i paid for such services  in July of 2022, doesn't suffice for a resolution. The infringement and infraction has already be imposed upon me  and as a result to their fraudulent action. the only recourse would be to reimburse me with my money considering that services were never  rendered.

    Date of Transaction: 9/29/22
    Actual MSRP paid for vehicle: $64,365
    GM MSRP provided when requested AFTER purchase: $62,770
    Original MSRP sticker was removed and discarded by dealer after purchase. There were multiple 'upgrades' advertised by the seller when viewing the truck that are not installed/ present after taking the truck home. I then requested a new MSRP sticker from Mark Wahlberg GMC for my records since the original was not left in the truck. At this request, Mark Wahlberg provided me the original GMC sticker that was $1595 less than what I was charged. I have stopped into the dealership, contacted the salesman and reached out to the store manager multiple times over the last 3 weeks requesting clarity on the discrepancy. Nothing. I believe they sold me a truck unequipped with the options that were advertised. I would have been happy to work through the issue with them, but apparently, they have decided that ignoring me is their best course of action. I am requesting the dealer provides the sticker that was originally posted on my truck.

    Received a card from Mark Wahlberg Buick stating that they needed 2019 Envisions and that they would pay
    off my Envision and give me $3000 towards a new car.

    03-25-22
    Went to Wahlberg and a salesman *** ****** said he could help me. I looked at the SUV and told him I would
    bring my wife to see it.

    03-28-22
    We went to see the SUV and took it for a drive and noticed it had 3800 miles on it. I told *** and he said it's
    still a new SUV I said it's used SUV. I asked could I order a new one and he said it would take 5 months. My
    wife and I talked it over and decided we would buy the SUV with the miles on it (used) since we were given
    $3000 for a down-payment. We went through financing and things felt uneasy and we were tired and ready to
    get out of there.


    04-06-22
    We received in the mail our financial report from GM Financial. When I seen they were financing $49,105.25
    We both became very upset but I waited a couple of days before I went to Wahlberg.


    04-08-22
    I went to Wahlberg to see Mr. Wahlberg to tell him what had happened but, he was not there. *** had me
    talk to the manger but he would not listen to me he just kept saying you signed the papers. They not only sold
    the SUV s new not used but added $4000 to the sticker price $40,145.

    04-20-22
    I sent a packet with all the information about this incident Certificate Mail to Mr. Wahlberg and Buick GM and
    nobody responded to me. I did talk to several people, but all I got was a run around then they said they could
    not help me.

    The vehicle is a new vehicle as it was not titled yet despite the miles. There is a service contract and gap insurance that is optional that can be cancelled for a refund if that is the extra money you are referring to. The vehicle was sold for the price agreed on and the trade value was the number also agreed on based on value and condition and received the tax savings being it was a new vehicle.

    I am rejecting this response because: You did not address The Financing: You added $4000 to the Sticker Price, you didn't give me the $3000 that was part of the deal that I was to have for the down-payment. On the Certificate of Title the purchase price was $48.625 On the Customer Verification the purchase price was $44,465. On the cash price of the Vehicle, accessories it was $46,160.25. You financed $49,105.25 on the CVW and there was $1250 Rebate but it was added not deducted. Financing was $48,246.10 on the Transaction Report and showed a $4000 down payment + a $1250 rebate that was not included in the Amount Financed. Deduct the $4000 down and The rebate $1250 the amount Financed would #40,380!
