I am extremely disappointed with the service I received at Jim Gauthier Chevrolet in Winnipeg..
I brought my 2018 Chevrolet Cruze RS in for a check engine light diagnosis. I was told Cylinder 3 was misfiring and that the injector and spark plugs needed replacement. I paid approximately $1,800 for those repairs. Within two hours of picking up my vehicle, the check engine light came back on.
When I returned, I was told Cylinder 1 was now misfiring and another injector needed replacement. More money was spent — yet the problem still remained unresolved. After multiple visits and nearly $3,000 in total repairs, I was essentially told by the service manager rich that they could not determine the root cause of the issue.
Instead of properly diagnosing the vehicle, it felt like parts were being replaced one after another without clear confirmation that they were actually defective. This resulted in significant financial loss and unnecessary stress.
This is not my first negative experience at this dealership. On a previous visit for a simple tire puncture, I was advised that my brake pads needed replacement — despite the fact that I had replaced them just one week prior. I contacted the service manager, Rich Roux, via email regarding that incident, but never received a response. During this most recent situation, I also reached out to management again and received no meaningful follow-up.
Spending thousands of dollars without a proper resolution, combined with a lack of accountability or communication from management, is unacceptable. Especially during Winnipeg’s extreme winter conditions, being left without reliable answers adds even more frustration.
Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this dealership. Customers deserve accurate diagnostics, honest recommendations, and responsive management — none of which I experienced here.
