Cowan Buick GMC Limited

I brought my car there to do a coolant system flush and to get a diagnosis on the heating issues, they said the thermostat needed to be replaced, I went to another mechanic and got the thermostat replaced to get a diagnosis on the heating issues, they said the thermostat needed to be replaced, I went to another mechanic and got the thermostat replaced and still no heat at this point because I was charged for the diagnosis at Cowan I brought it back to tell them that I replaced the thermostat for nothing, they said then should be the leak from the radiator. I talked to Peter hoping to get some decent explanation here and he said the same thing that I have no choice but to replace the radiator at that point I left because I sensed there wasn’t no intention to help me out and they wanted to squeeze more money out of my pocket. This was disappointing and unprofessional I spent hundreds of dollars and still have no heat. I would never go back to this place and I won’t recommend it to anyone. More

Missing customer service Extremely poor customer service from the Sales Dept as well as the Service Dept. Vehicle not ready at promised time, half of the requested service bei Extremely poor customer service from the Sales Dept as well as the Service Dept. Vehicle not ready at promised time, half of the requested service being completed. When purchasing my Sierra from end of lease, they added surprise charges on the final invoice where the original contract specifically indicated there was no charge, when it was questioned I was given the run around and refused service. Cody had to bring in reinforcements from upstairs (his mother) to back him up and continue arguing before finally being asked to leave to complete the vehicle purchase elsewhere. Stay Away!!! More

Oil change Purchased the vehicle from Cowan and went in for a oil change the day, and worked was performed up to standard but when I came back into the vehicle a Purchased the vehicle from Cowan and went in for a oil change the day, and worked was performed up to standard but when I came back into the vehicle after it was completed there was oil hand marks on steering wheel and interior door panels.... Really....... I have purchased other vehicles GM products from other dealerships in Durham and they have understood the concept of customer service as they vacuum and wash your vehicle. Ms. Cowan your dealership service team needs to pick up the expectations in regards to customer service as I feel that your team does a very poor job at it. More

Picked up truck 5 times!!! So my truck goes in after it was in an accident. I rear ended someone. I've picked up my truck 5 times!!!' Only to find out they didn't fix issues per So my truck goes in after it was in an accident. I rear ended someone. I've picked up my truck 5 times!!!' Only to find out they didn't fix issues pertaining to engine! In fact they said engine wasn't affected by accident at all even though it was noted it was pouring out coolant at scene of accident. I received an apology later as I was right, the engine was affected. So long story short, bring my truck home after 5 times they claim it's fixed. Put it into drive and it starts to reverse!!! This is at my kids school with my kids in vehicle!!! It sure wasn't doing this before my accident!! So... Have to wait to speak with someone tomorrow, which I'm sure will be the beginning of a never ending nightmare. Owner/manager never returns msgs. I'm absolutely appalled by the "service" here. More

How are these crooks still in business? I brought my 2005 Saturn Ion in for a fuel drip need my rear passenger side wheel and my driver side door lock seized up. First the guy started by say I brought my 2005 Saturn Ion in for a fuel drip need my rear passenger side wheel and my driver side door lock seized up. First the guy started by saying with the age of the vehicle it's time to start thinking of buying a new car, I said no thanks I like being car payment free. They had to diagnose the leak and hooked it up to the computer and I was told they can't get fuel line parts for my car anymore and they have to make the parts. I was told the total cost would be $1200. He said with age of the car I can expect this to be the start of paying hundreds of dollars on a regular basis. Then I asked what was wrong with the door lock they said they fixed it. When I asked how? they became annoyed because I said I hope they did more than WD40 which iv done myself. He froze then said they sprayed inside with a silicone to free up the lock. They said it would cost $400 to replace the lock. I told them I would think over the lock and fuel line since it will be parked mostly over the holidays, I then paid them $150 for spraying my door lock and telling me the cost to replace my fuel lines. One week later I took it to my regular mechanic who was closed for a week and they replaced all fuel lines and the fuel filter for $425 total! big difference from $1200 and they also found the parts easily, I had my car back that day within 6 hours. Three weeks after that my driver side door lock seized up again and my check engine light came on. I will never be going back to Cowan as it seems like a crooked, sleazy business. I feel they have bad ethics and rip off their customers. I would recommend to anyone to take their vehicle anywhere other than Cowan! More

worst service ever I made an appointment the previous week for my truck to be serviced at 8am Wednesday, Feb. 11 . When I dropped the truck off the service rep told me t I made an appointment the previous week for my truck to be serviced at 8am Wednesday, Feb. 11 . When I dropped the truck off the service rep told me that the truck would be ready to go by 12 noon so there would be no need of a loaner car.. I called Cowans at 11:30 to see if the truck was ready yet. The service rep told me it hadn't been looked at yet but it was next in line. I told her to forget it as I needed to leave for work shortly and to send their driver to pick me up When I got to Cowans I asked the rep why the truck hadn't been looked at yet, he replied "must to be to _______ busy" I asked what is the point in making an appointment if you are going to be hours and hours behind the scheduled time This type of service is totally unacceptable. I have e-mailed the manger of Cowans as well as the service manager and as of yet I do not have any response. - More
