  Sheppard replaced the transmission on 07/29/24 at ***** miles.
  Came back on 09/06/25 at ***** miles and Sheppard could not duplicate the concern after test drove with the customer. The test drive was 52 miles then released back to the customer. 
  Came back 10/08/24 at ***** miles, found faults for Transmission fluid pump which was replaced under warranty. Test drove and concern was not present. 
  Came back again 10/31/24 at ***** miles and technician replaced an oil pressure switch. 
  
  Technician had Techline involved after the 3rd visit.

  Everything has been resolved for complaint 22004903  eated like I was nothing and everyone gets to treat me like trash and not listen to me no matter how respectful, professional, and polite I am.After looking over the statements I was changed $281.95 for a major tune up that only consisted of spark plugs and air filter. When I called the ************** dealership, they emailed me that a major tune up for $281.95 should have consisted of oil change, tire rotation, fuel system service and air filter. I was charged $281.95 for air filter and spark plugs and another ****** for oil change and tire rotation. This should of been included in the major tune up. Also, in the description of what was done it says all necessary fuels are topped off, and I have no windshield wiper fluid. that to resolve this I would like a check for the difference of what I was quoted and what I paid. I let the Manager know how this can be resolved. He said he would call me the next day 7/12/24. He did not call me that day, and today is 7/17/24 and still no call

  On 11/15 and 11/16 I was in contact with **** from ******* motors regarding him looking into a car for me that *** fit my needs and told him i want payments under $400. A month before I did run a credit check on a vehicle i approved but it didnt work as i didnt have a big enough down payment. He said ok and would check around. I did not give the ok to rerun a credit check as I didnt know if there was any vehicles that I liked. He called me back on 11/15 but I missed the call he then left a voicemail stating to call him back. On 11/16 I called him back. He did not recognize me when I called and thought I was a different customer. He then informed me of a vehicle that might work it was a 2019 vw tiguan R line. He then told me my rate and term. I thought that was weird as I didn't give him the okay to run credit but I thought he based it off my last credit app. I declined as the rate was too high and the payments were $600 which was not what I stated I wanted.I then got an email stating a hard inquiry was done. I called him back and asked if he ran a credit check and he said yes. I told him I didn't approve that and all he had to say was sorry about that. I then tried to call the manager above him but got another sales manager who then told me I was confused and then informed me that the car he was trying to sell me wasn't even an R line. I then told him so he ran my credit on a car he didn't know the full details about to which the salesman informed me well he isn't a vw guy. I have still yet to hear back from the manager. This is poor practice, false advertisement, and illegal to run my credit without full disclosure.

  10/20/22 took jeep to Sheppard to get cowl checked & rear defrost fixed. The cowl not clogged but told was missing air filter wasn't there at all approved to have it replaced. rear defrost they said could fix so approved. got home rear defrost hanging by a piece of tape went back to get a refund. reminded to air up tires. got partial refund for rear defrost and they aired up tires. got in Jeep tires were uneven. The right front was at 30 and the rear left tire was at 30 while other 2 tires were at 35 service manager said my tire censors must need replaced The next day purchased a tire gauge My tire pressure was exactly what tire censors said. tires had been aired up unevenly on opposite sides of vehicle so it would drive w/o dragging Questioned everything. rear defrost hanging by a piece of tape. how would an air filter be missing completely? disputed charges shouldn't get anything done at Sheppard isnt basic maintenance Bought my jeep at Sheppard have had great service, until moving back to Or 12/14 appt to get oil changed routine maintenance *************************** introduced himself told if I ever had probs to contact him 1st next time.started to smell sweet smell after oil change never smelled this before. not driven much since oil change Contacted ***** got me into have it looked at 01/19. didn't find anything Whatever they did made sweet smell reduce, but was still present.Contacted ***** again set up a time to have it looked at 03/08 they found pinhole in radiator. ***** approached w/repair order over $1000. All I could think this is same man who had my tires filled unevenly & told me I needed to have tire censors replaced Sweet smell did not occur till after oil change. Sheppard has track record of creating probs to be fixed I believe Sheppard Motors put a hole in radiator when oil changed Smell did get better after 1st took it to them. Something is not right w/ this situation.emailed ***** about working together to find solution not received a response

  Purchased a new ******* Elantra last October. MSRP was amount paid.I bought this on a Saturday and returned following Monday because Highway noise negated ability to use cars phone system.Dealership minimized the issue and issue was left up to me to resolve.In efforts to resolve people pointed out body panels dont aligned properly.Again, I return to dealership. Again, the issue was minimized. Service manager told e that the plastic bumper components arent important. The metal parts are what you want to pay attention to.Now Im starting to scrutinize d the car and am finding that several metal body parts dont match!! Again I return to the dealership and was told by sales manager that that hed contact *******. Its been three weeks and nothing. ******* says they havent heard a word from the sales manager.Please note: as this problem evolved, I visited Sheppard Motors, in ****** **, at least a dozen times and in one occasion I was video tapping my car issues when the new service manager came out. During this time he acknowledged the issue and also spoke about how they tried to fix the front end!!! I still have the video!!!I went to ******** dealer a who helped the phone issue after finding the microphones needed replacing. I went to them with the body panel issues as well.I went to the Salem dealership looking for help also.Simply put, Sheppard Motors sold me a new car that appears to have been damaged before I bought and it appears they tried to fix. Above all, they did not disclose.

  I went to the mechanic here after buying a car there 2 years ago. I asked for a diagnostic test meaning a full look over to make sure it was in good condition. They looked at my breaks and took it for a ride and then charged me $160. I have put in over $2500 in repairs on this car since purchasing it from them. We brought it in the next day to trade see what it was worth in trade in value. They told us $1000 and there was a air bag light that is a major safety concern that wasnt going off. It had been on since we bought it from them so we did not think anything of it. I called the repair shop and asked for a refund on my diagnostic test since they didnt catch the major safety hazard. The manager said do you drive your car around and dont notice the light is on I asked if he was insulting my intelligence and he said, I mean I dont know, you didnt see the light. Not only is this degrading and happing over and over to me by mechanics-as a woman I am deeply offended and fee discriminated against.

  To whom it may concern,

   

  Our service manager has reached out to the customers and they are going to bring in the vehicle on Tuesday for us to take a look at the airbag light issue.

   

  Thanks,
