    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    I contacted the dealer about a SUV I saw online and asked if I could come see it in person. I was told the vehicle was on the lot by *********.I drove to see the vehicle and it was not there.Since I was at the dealer already I decided to begin the negotiation process with ***************************** and ***********************.We were unable to reach an agreement initially.The following day I was contacted by **** and we made an agreement.Part of the agreement was that dent damage would be fixed. The next day **** told me to come get the vehicle.He then told me the car was not there and I would be provided a loaner and the car would be delivered to me.After delivery I set up an appointment to get the dents repaired.My wife took the car in and waited four hours for the repairs.She was never offered a loaner or given any updates throughout this process until I called the dealer to complain.The repairs were not done correctly and I had to return the vehicle again for proper repair.I was given another loaner car, and never received a timeline of when the car would be ready.After a week and numerous inquiries (and no responses to my calls or emails to ***) I drove to the lot to see what the progress was on repair.The car was ready and waiting yet I had received no communication about it at all. I contacted *************************** as instructed by him via ****** review to express my frustrations-he never replied.The next issue is the license plates. As my original dealer tags were nearing expiration I began calling the dealer to find out where the plates were.******* told me the plates were not in because of a delay at the *** and I could come get new ones.I drove to the dealer again (for the 6th time) and was told my plates had been sent to the dealer but they didn't know where they were.I made another ****** review and was contacted by ***************************** saying she would look into the plates.***** emails me saying the plates were shipped.He had my address wrong.The tracking # says status not available

    My name is ****** and I am 72 years old. I would like to describe the horrible experience I have recently had with Frank Kent Cadillac service department. On March 4th I had another mechanic replace the ignition coil and spark plugs on the vehicle which cost $888.62. When I took it to Frank Kent Cadillac the next day, March 5th they examined the vehicle and indicated there was $3,234.49 in repairs and maintenance needed. They also indicated the ignition coil needed to be replaced even though it had just been replaced. They also indicated that an Engine Control Module Software Update was needed, which was $370.31. However, they did not mention anything about the Engine Control Module needing to be replaced, yet after the work had been done on March 18th they came back and said that it would need to be replaced which would cost an additional $1,257.58, which I paid. On March 18th they said I owed $4,111.06 but then on March 22nd said it would be $4,167.55, which I paid. Then on March 25th they said the car would need ********************** and the spark plugs changed, even though they had just been replaced on March 4th. This cost me an additional $633.02.The engine light is still on, despite me spending $4,800.57 to repair the vehicle. I feel that the car has not been repaired to my satisfaction and I feel that this dealership has taken advantage of my age, forgetfulness, and lack of knowledge and convinced me to spend money on items that I dont even know are needed or for work that had already been performed. This type of behavior is illegal and immoral. They have violated the ***** Deceptive Trade Practices Act and I believe have engaged in *************** Abuse. I feel to resolve my complaint the dealership should refund me $1,030.24 which is what they charged me to replace the ignition coil and spark plugs that had already been replaced, as well as have the engine light that keeps coming on turned off.

    from my service manager:

    This is false and complete nonsense because I personally spoke to, ********************** in my office over 30 minutes about his vehicle and the repairs needed. He used ****** to pay for the repairs, so he knew exactly what he was doing. We had a detailed conversation about him being retired, on a fixed income and not wanting to buy a new vehicle because he did not want a car payment. How should I handle this considering he went to the BBB because I know without a doubt, I explained everything to him in detail which was the same things **** and ***** told him. He was upset because we would not give him another loan vehicle because he took our vehicle out of town and when we called him about it he said the vehicle was at home, once we shared we could see where the vehicle was, he then said he only drove it there but didnt drive it while he was there and we did have his approval to track the vehicle while he had it.
