Harris Oceanside Chevrolet Buick GMC

A shout out to salesman Mike Hildebrand and general manager Chris Nicol for the lies and deceit for new truck rear window decals that were supposed to be ordered at time of purchase, and 2 months later manager Chris Nicol for the lies and deceit for new truck rear window decals that were supposed to be ordered at time of purchase, and 2 months later I was told that Chris was just putting the order in. In between the 2 months I was told many lies from the decals were ordered to the shop making a mistake on the decals and Chris wasn’t happy the way they turned out so he sent them back and me going to the shop myself 2 months from purchase and asking if they new anything of a truck decal order.I was told there wasn’t an order ever placed. The shop phoned the dealership and as that happened, I received a text message from Mike saying that Chris just ordered the decals. What a croc of s***!! I have purchased 7 new trucks in 15 years from Harris Oceanside GMC and to be treated like this from these 2 BOZO the CLOWNS!! I will get my truck serviced @ Nanaimo GMC or Port Alberni Chev from now on. Since New Management that took place early 2024 as I was told by Mike,I feel that this dealership has been such a let down.If I could give a zero star review that is what it would be.See you later Oceanside,much later.👎👎 More

I just bought a new ( used ) Car from Carter Brooks. This young man was so knowledgeable about the SUV that I bought. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a new or used vehicle. Carter was very p This young man was so knowledgeable about the SUV that I bought. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a new or used vehicle. Carter was very polite and if he didn't have an answer to your question he made sure he got it for you. The experience I had at the dealership was like family. Everyone there had a smile on their faces and greeted you when you walked in. If I was to buy another vehicle I would go back to Harris Oceanside. Thank you everyone there, Frank Aszody More

I had an interesting, challenging and rewarding experience at Oceanside Harris this weekend. Due to a misunderstanding between a couple of employees, the deal we had agreed upon was not the one th experience at Oceanside Harris this weekend. Due to a misunderstanding between a couple of employees, the deal we had agreed upon was not the one that was presented to me by their Financial Officer. After a lot of back and forth, the General Manager and Sales Manager agreed that I should not be "penalized" for the in-house misunderstanding, and honoured the price I was expecting. This conversation could have easily gone sideways, but kudos to Chris and Leif. It is very nice to see that this dealership will ultimately stand up for what is right, and I would recommend Oceanside for their honesty and very nice way to treat customers. I will be back. More

Harris Oceanside GM scammed us out of money. I had a very disappointing experience with Harris Oceanside GM, specifically Amanda Hildebrand and her manager Leif Peek. I was interested in a ve I had a very disappointing experience with Harris Oceanside GM, specifically Amanda Hildebrand and her manager Leif Peek. I was interested in a vehicle, and since I’m in Vancouver while they’re on Vancouver Island, Amanda offered to cover my ferry ticket if I came to test drive the car. She assured me they would pay for the ticket regardless of whether we buy the car. The test drive went well, and I made an offer of $760 below asking, which I felt was reasonable. Their counter? $10 off. We couldn’t come to an agreement, so I simply asked for the ferry reimbursement as promised. I had the physical receipt and handed it to them in person, and they assured me the cheque would be mailed. It took over a month just for them to even claim they had sent it. Now two months later, I still have not received anything. I have followed up six times, asking for basic details like when it was sent and whether they had the correct address. No response. I even requested they void the cheque in case it was lost (if it was actually sent) and send the money electronically instead—still nothing. Both Amanda and Leif have been completely unresponsive. At this point, I feel completely scammed out of over $100, and their refusal to respond speaks volumes. If they can’t even uphold a simple promise like this, imagine what it would be like if you had an issue after buying a car. Be very careful with what they offer you as chances are it’s just an empty promise and they won’t follow through. More

This dealership bold face lied to me! I am being ignored. Not returning my phone call or emails. This dealership sold me the 2015 Dodge Journey Oct 2nd, 2024 knowing full well that it had I am being ignored. Not returning my phone call or emails. This dealership sold me the 2015 Dodge Journey Oct 2nd, 2024 knowing full well that it had been heavily smoked in. There is no way possible that they didn't know! The cigarette smoke damage/smell is so heavy its embarrassing, your dealership should be embarrassed that you did not disclose this to me! This was not an oops, we forgot! I started this process of wanting the issue dealt with Oct 11th (it is now Nov 13th) after recognizing that once the air fresheners were all removed how badly the SUV truly smelled of cigarette smoke. The best they will come up with is an ozone treatment only. At the beginning they insisted i come back there, i refused, i want nothing more to do with them on site as it was a 4 1/2 hour process from start to finish. After the deal was done at approximately 2:00 pm it took 2 1/2 hours of excuses from license plate screw sticking to washing. This vehicle needs a full interior detail, new air filter then an ozone treatment. They are refusing the detail, a measly additional $250 that in no way should i have to incur. As soon as i opened the door to this SUV and remarked to Courtney the sales rep and noted how badly is smelled of cigarette smoke she replied Nooooooo! She allowed me to convince myself it was the red packet air fresheners that all the cars have on the lot. I said you need new air freshener things because these are terrible! Hahaha! Jokes on me! I was your dealerships sucker of the month i guess! More

I live in Nanaimo and drove to Harris Oceanside a couple of times to look at their trucks. I met Mike Hildebrand on my first visit and I found him to be very friendly and knowledgeable on the different styl of times to look at their trucks. I met Mike Hildebrand on my first visit and I found him to be very friendly and knowledgeable on the different styles of trucks, and their options. Mike was always available to help me whether it be in person or on the phone, even on his day off. Mike helped me to find exactly what I was looking for, and I am very happy with my new truck. I have never traded in a vehicle before and was pleasantly surprised with their offer and ended up trading my vehice in. Overall it was a very positive experience, and I will be back to see Mike when I am ready to purchase another vehicle. ps - the coffee in the showroom is great! More
