This review is leaning mostly towards the service department of Dick Hannah Volkswagen. Pablo Ulibarri treated us horrible from the start of our car having problems. We just bought our car on June 22nd. It's a 2010 Chrysler Sebring, low miles, & clean inside. We recently filed bankruptcy and knew we'd be signed up for higher interest rates & payments. That was something we were prepared for. My husband made sure that their Rewards/Customer Loyalty program (that you automatically get enrolled into) covered everything on the new car we just bought. He asked repeatedly in the Sales department that no matter what they'll cover any issue. Unfortunately, they didn't explain that only somethings were covered.
Just the other day our alternator blew. My husband went into Dick Hannah to speak to the service department. Pablo kept walking away and taking care of other issues, telling him to hold on and also said he would have to call to see if we had extended warranty. This was after they gave us a Jetta service car to borrow while ours wasn't working. He didn't want to help us at that time, and had better things to do. Later that day we find out the cars alternator is not covered, we'd have to pay for the tow truck, and also the rental car. My husband was told that the car was going to be completely covered if anything was to go wrong. Pablo was no help - my husband called the sales department and they were able to pay for half of it, knowing how frustrated we were to have to go through this. When we went back in to pick up our car, Pablo was the one who helped us again. He had us come up to his counter. And then proceeded to walk off and speak into his walkie talkie, ignoring us. He had a bad attitude with us.
A little about Pablo - He has never serviced a car in his life. And couldn't give me an answer on how long alternators usually last on a Chrysler Sebring. But said VW's last about 12 years. This we know since we once had a VW our self.
A 2010 Chrysler, and the alternator goes out after 4 years? You would think a popular dealership like Dick Hannah would make sure all their cars were reliable. Or at least cover the car within the 90 days. I don't care that it's a used car. It's still new! With low miles.
Our car was also not even detailed when we picked it up.
We just bought a new car, put money down on it, trusted that it was reliable, and paid our first car payment all to find out we needed to fork more money out to it.
I would not take my car to the service department their again.
We are not 100% pleased with our purchase. I wish we would have gone elsewhere.
Good people work at Acura of Portland or Nissan of Portland - Go check them out before you go here. We couldn't even speak to someone higher up than Pablo. Maybe he was scared that he would get in trouble for his horrible customer service. Who knows.
