I have never left a review for anything in my life, but I

I have never left a review for anything in my life, but I hope people will consider this review before going here for vehicle service. My truck was there for almost two months. After calling and leaving several messages, inquiring about the status of my vehicle, and no one returning my calls, I finally demanded to speak with the GM. I was told that they were waiting for the warranty company to approve the work. Then I called the warranty company, they advised me they don’t have any claims regarding service for my truck from any dealers. Fast forward to today, October 25, 2024, I still don’t have my truck and people still aren’t returning my phone calls. So, again I called and demanded to speak with the GM. This time, the receptionist told me that she couldn’t find the GM, but my keys and paperwork were on his desk and they just finished working on my truck last night. Now, why would my keys and paperwork be on the GM’s desk?? Lastly, shortly after they told me my truck was ready to be picked up, I received a text message saying I have a service scheduled for November 4 at 10:30. Surely, this dealer doesn’t think I will EVER be returning, but more importantly, what is the service for, and shouldn’t they have consulted me first, before scheduling me for an appointment? I can’t emphasize enough how bad the this dealer is, if I could give less than 1, I would. I’m anticipating more issues before I actually get my vehicle back, stay tuned.

I apologize for the extensive delays, lack of communication, and the overall experience you’ve faced with our service department. This is not the level of service we aim to provide, and it’s clear we missed the mark at multiple stages here. I would appreciate the chance to address these issues directly and provide more clarity. Please reach out to me so we can discuss a resolution. Shashank Dharanendra, General Manager, (317) 456-1618

xxxx poor service.

xxxx poor service. Rip off. Spent over $2000 for the same problem. Dropped off car 7 times. 2 times had to be towed. Had my vehicle for several days at a time and each time picked up with the same problem. Never buy another vehicle and have service done by them. Don't know if they are ignorant or just don't care and stupid. I think the latter.

Thank you for leaving your review. I’m truly sorry to hear about the ongoing issues with your vehicle and the poor service you’ve received. Spending over $2000 and having to bring your car in seven times, including twice being towed, is completely unacceptable. We would like to speak with you further and invite you to please contact me at your convenience. Pat Hurst, General Manager, 317-456-1618

Took my Jeep in on 2/8.

Took my Jeep in on 2/8. Texted them on 2/12 (4 days later) because i had heard NOTHING from them. Got an answer that they were trying to get the work done under warranty. It was not covered. Finally heard from the dealer on 2/17 that my car was ready. How can it take 9 days to replace a heater core? It takes Jeep dealers far too long to get an appointment and then get your car repaired. I love my Cherokee (2014 with 281,000 miles on it) but I will never buy a Jeep again. I just cant wait 3 weeks to get an appointment and then 9 days for a simple repair.

Andy, Thank you for leaving your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the extended delay and inconvenience you experienced with the repair of your Jeep Cherokee. It's understandable that such a long wait for an appointment and repair would be frustrating, especially when you rely on your vehicle for daily use. We regret that the process took longer than anticipated and that we were unable to meet your expectations for a timely resolution. We would be happy to speak with you further about your experience and will be reaching out, however you can also contact me, as well. Pat Hurst, General Manager, 317-456-1618

Took way way way too long to get the job done.

Took way way way too long to get the job done. Was told that my appointment to get my Jeep fixed as just a drop off time. My Jeep was there for 2 weeks. Unacceptable when I make an appointment I expect the work to start not to have it sit there until you figure when you can work on it. xxxxxxxx. Won't ever be back. Least customer. Sharon was great. But you system is horrible. I don't think you understand that people need there vehicles.

I had an appointment that I made a month and a half in

I had an appointment that I made a month and a half in advance for Service after four hours of no work no one looking at my vehicle and said they probably wouldn’t be able to get to it because of shop delays. I left with my vehicle with nothing being done to it.
