While the service manager was nice to deal with, the - Jeep Disappointed
While the service manager was nice to deal with, the owner and their principles are very low. My experience: Brought a still on warranty Grand Cherokee on Dec 2023 for the starter. For a simple piece like this, the car stayed two months "waiting on pieces". Car restarted having starting problems again in October 2024, they found no issues but I still had to pay for 2 hrs diagnostics after two days wait and again on Jan 2025, one month after both the warranty on the car and repairs were expired, as if in a timer.
This third visit, initial diagnostic after two days wait was "it's the starter, we will replace" and then that changed after they spent almost 3 hrs diagnosing to a "possible electrical issue". When I asked how much would this cost, I was answered "depends on how long it takes to find the issue" with no estimate of a maximum. I then told I wanted to take my car back because of no estimate and the two consecutive previous bad experiences: strike three!
I mentioned I will not go back, to what the service manager was nice enough to only charge me 2 hours and took upon itself to see if he could get the owner to further discount the session (to be clear, I did not ask for it) and I overhead the owner said: if we were not given the chance to fix it, no discount. Let us find the issue "and then we will sit like adults and negotiate a possible agreement" in a rather offensive tone. If the owner himself thinks so little of their customers, I wonder how some employees are actually nice: I got one of the employees who volunteered on boosting my car prior to towing it to the garage, which was very nice.
Lastly, went to pick up my car from the lot to find they did not reassemble the whole and left a piece on the floor uninstalled, car full of snow inside as they did not bother to even remove the excess of snow from their boots. Went inside and complain and the piece was not properly installed (they did not reconnected the wires).
I guess my recommendation is: only go there if you must, otherwise stay clear! I felt in my case the owner felt it was an opportunity to profit from my misery with their car. I will be selling and never buy a Chrysler made car.
