This was the third time our 2015 Impala was in for service, a car which we have had since January 29th, 2015. First was for malfunctioning door handles, second two times was for the navigation center unit. They had the car for three days, and the only work they completed was an update to the unit. Instead of trying to find a solution, my wife and her phone were blamed for the malfunction. How can a dealership sell a car that is supposed to work with your phone, more specifically an iphone 6, not anything super special, and then blame the phone when the car malfunctions. I simply do not understand. Not very happy with the outcome of the visit or the service we recieved, and the car is likely to be back as the problems persist. Literally Joe Hurtuk is the only reason we come back.
Update April 15th, 2015.
The dealership reached out to us last week with the intent to rectify the problem. However that turned out to be all talk. The Impala went back into the shop for the fourth time since we have had it on Monday, April 13th, 2015, which is just a little over two months from date of purchase. Again for the My Link Navigation and also for a front camera service warning (which is a new problem) that came across our dashboard over the weekend. They are returning the car to us as after two days, telling us that the solution is to not use her phone with the car at all. This is absolutely absurd. How can you advertise/sell a car to do something, and when the car cannot do it, say that the phone is to blame. Other than the original deal with Joe Hurtuk, this whole experience has been terrible. And the cherry, or should I say lemon, on the cake is that we are stuck with this terrible car.
Update April 28th, 2015
A lot has happened since my last post on April 15th. We had a face to face meeting with our Salesperson, Joe Hurtuk and Camille Parr, who was there on behalf of Mike Lally. At the meeting we expressed our concerns with the car, and Camille and Joey were understanding and eager to help us get to the bottom of the problem. They gave my wife a new Impala to drive for a week to see if we would experience any problems like the ones we had experienced with ours. After the trial with their car was over, and we had not had any kind of trouble, we came to the solution that it was simply the car, and that we needed to get something else. At this point Camille got on the phone with Mike Lally and the dealers' GM representative and worked out a deal to buy the car back and to put us in a new car at no loss to us. Camille and Joe went above and beyond what could be expected of any dealer, and fought for us to get us the best deal. We feel like they have our best interest in mind, and they really stepped up to the plate when it counted, and got us into a new vehicle at a great price. I highly recommend this dealer to anyone who values customer service as I know we will be returning there for years to come.
