The sales team is fine, until you have to bring in your brand new vehicle you’ll find out real quick how awful the service dept. is. Save yourself the frustration and exhaustion and don’t buy here.

My recent encounter with Lakehead Motors' service department was disappointing and concerning. Despite not purchasing from them, their predatory practices were evident. They demanded an immediate $40 department was disappointing and concerning. Despite not purchasing from them, their predatory practices were evident. They demanded an immediate $400 oil change for a recently certified car, exploiting customers' lack of automotive knowledge. This blatant attempt at extracting unjustifiable charges highlights their disregard for fairness and integrity. Avoid Lakehead Motors' service department; their deceptive tactics prioritize profit over customer trust. More

Absolute worst service you could ever get from a dealership. Have bought 2 new vehicles from them now and if you need service before any mechanical issues afterwards you better have lots of time and dealership. Have bought 2 new vehicles from them now and if you need service before any mechanical issues afterwards you better have lots of time and patience. Even when you schedule an appointment to have something changed they will keep your vehicle all day then tell you we don’t have the part we need to complete the work. Have had them order the parts twice now before hand had the vehicle scheduled to go in when parts are in stock then tell me after a 10 hour day they don’t have the parts. Thanks for wasting my time.

My advice to anyone thinking of buying a car from this outfit: STAY THE xxxx AWAY. They don't care if you're satisfied or angry or anything else. They don't or won't follow up on your response to anythin outfit: STAY THE xxxx AWAY. They don't care if you're satisfied or angry or anything else. They don't or won't follow up on your response to anything they do, including charging you for a job they couldn't complete because of their own incompetence. Make phone calls, write letters, it makes no difference. Anything you say will fall on deaf ears. How they are able to stay in business is totally beyond me. More
I've had very few if any positive transactions with this dealership. They don't seem to care whether you're satisfied or not. I've written several letters to both the vice president AND the OWNER and never dealership. They don't seem to care whether you're satisfied or not. I've written several letters to both the vice president AND the OWNER and never once, NEVER, did I receive a response. They even charged me once for a job they COULDN'T complete due to their own incompetence. My advice regarding this dealership is STAY THE xxxx AWAY. More
Worst experience ever with a dealership. They never have parts available for recall work until months after notices received on my 2016 Dodge Ram 1500 Ecodiesel. Recently took my vehicle in They never have parts available for recall work until months after notices received on my 2016 Dodge Ram 1500 Ecodiesel. Recently took my vehicle in for check engine light, and service throttle body warning light, and particulate filter 100% full light. Codes showed a faulty sensor. I was told the part wasn't available anywhere on the continent and I would be given priority status on a wail list, but it would be at least a month without my vehicle. My son found the part in less than 20 minutes at another dealership and gave the contact information to LM. They had the part in less than a week. Then they said they couldn't remove the corroded bolts to remove the old sensor, and if the bolts broke, I would potentially need a new manifold. And if there was a problem removing the manifold, there could be damage to the block. The estimate to replace the original sensor was $3300 up to $10,000. We could rarely get anyone to talk to us on the phone and it took 5 days for them to return my calls. They had removed the wheel well cover only and at our request put it back on. No other work done - new sensor NOT installed ( though we're keeping the new sensor), the final bill to put the wheel well cover back on is $1800. An extra charge was made since they called the new sensor a back-ordered part even though we sourced it ourselves. Picking up the truck tomorrow, hoping to limp it home, no work done on it. Will never return to this dealership. I bought the truck new when I was living out of province - perhaps if I'd bought it at this dealership originally, service might have been different??? More
