Harris Oceanside Chevrolet Buick GMC

We had an excellent experience at Harris Oceanside GM buying our truck. Allen H. Was very helpful and timely in his responses. He was easy to talk to and wasn’t pushy. The dealership seems to run smoothl buying our truck. Allen H. Was very helpful and timely in his responses. He was easy to talk to and wasn’t pushy. The dealership seems to run smoothly. The buying process didn’t take as long as we’ve experienced at other dealerships and they had specialty coffee, kids toys and a TV for the times we did have to wait. We’re looking forward to servicing our truck here and will be recommending Harris Oceanside GM and Allen to anyone looking for a new vehicle: More

I purchased a new 2026 GMC 1500 AT4 from Harris Oceanside on August 2nd 2026 from salesperson Joe Buck. I want to start this review by recognizing that my experience with Joe was good. He was responsive when on August 2nd 2026 from salesperson Joe Buck. I want to start this review by recognizing that my experience with Joe was good. He was responsive when I was messaging with him before heading up to Parksville from Victoria. My truck unfortunately experienced a major mechanical failure on my drive home that resulted in it being out of commission for 2 months from the day I purchased it. I reached a point where I contacted Harris Oceanside to discuss to possibility of a buy back or exchange and was completely dismissed by Sales Manager Nate and was told " if we have to, we can pay you drug money to buy the truck back if needed but let the mechanics do their thing" before being told he had to go because there was a customer in the lobby. I again reached out after the truck broke a second time and I was coming up on 2 months and only being able to drive my truck 4 times (2 of which where the times it broke down). This time I contacted Joe who advised he escalated the issue to the General Sales Manager . I received no follow up or contact from the General Sales Manager and that was well over a month ago. I again spoke to Joe prior to posting this review and said I was open to a conversation with the GSM regarding my experience and the lack of follow up from their department regarding my concerns. Joe said he passed these concerns on again to the GSM. Big surprise! I once again received no follow up or contact from the General Sales Manager! From reading other reviews it seems this Sales Department operates under the premise of getting the customer to sign on the dotted line before completely dismissing them and moving on to the next potential sale. No post purchase customer care or concern. I would highly recommend avoiding purchasing a vehicle through Harris Oceanside and take your business elsewhere. More

This dealership has demonstrated a troubling level of negligence and disregard for customer safety. It is only a matter of time before these business practices result in someone being seriously injured. negligence and disregard for customer safety. It is only a matter of time before these business practices result in someone being seriously injured. I live in Alberta, and this dealership sold and shipped me a 2021 GR Supra that was missing several critical safety features, including functioning running lights, front signal lights, and a horn. The vehicle also had a loose battery terminal that could have created a serious fire hazard. In addition, the car arrived with significant undisclosed interior damage. None of these issues were disclosed to me before the sale. After these defects were discovered, General Manager Jamie and Sales Manager Leef Peek avoided calls and delayed any meaningful resolution while the Vehicle Sales Authority (VSA) investigation was ongoing. Rather than taking responsibility for the situation, Jamie made the following statement after failing to honor a call he had scheduled with me: "I think you don't understand. I owe you less than you think, and any repairs I do are out of the goodness of my heart." This response was particularly concerning given that the vehicle was sold as roadworthy despite the absence of essential safety equipment. Throughout this process, I was left with a vehicle that could not be legally registered or pass inspection, while continuing to deal with the financial and personal consequences of the dealership's actions. It ultimately took the conclusion of the VSA's investigation before any meaningful resolution was achieved. Customers should be able to trust that a dealership will accurately represent the condition of the vehicles it sells and promptly address serious safety concerns when they arise. In this case, that trust was completely broken. More

Great service, fast and easy. I would highly recommend Harris Oceanside GM/ Chevy to anyone. I would highly recommend Harris Oceanside GM/ Chevy to anyone. More

BUYERS BE AWARE - I recently engaged with this dealership and wanted to share my experience. My direct salesman, Morgan Newton, was excellent to deal with—professional, respectful, and genuinely helpful thro and wanted to share my experience. My direct salesman, Morgan Newton, was excellent to deal with—professional, respectful, and genuinely helpful throughout the process. He represented himself very well. However, my concerns lie with the broader management approach. Under the management of Leif Peek, the dealership used sales tactics that involved leveraging one customer against another to create pressure and urgency. This approach is unprofessional and does not reflect the level of transparency or integrity expected when making a major purchase. I have never left an online review for any individual or company before, but I feel it is important to share my experience so others can make informed decisions. I value straightforward, honest communication and prefer to work with dealerships that prioritize fairness and respect at every step. Unfortunately, that was not my experience here. Because of this, I will not be recommending this dealership to anyone in my network. I hope the management team takes this feedback seriously, as these practices directly impact customer trust and long‑term reputation. More

They called me to get $100 of service, and $25 off oil change. They sent me a $226 quote to replace a Tom's on tire, and oil change. I agreed, when I picked up Truck, the Tom's was not replaced and they change. They sent me a $226 quote to replace a Tom's on tire, and oil change. I agreed, when I picked up Truck, the Tom's was not replaced and they wanted $350! I complained and brought truck back for free service of Tom's in tires. They said quote was for gas engine oil change, not diesel which I have, and they should know with my Vin which was on the quote they sent me! Honestly this leaves me not wanting to return to Chev dealer, and shame as I have exclusively driven GMC trucks for 45 years so far.. Gord Fisher. More

My husband and I are more than satisfied with Harris Oceanside GM. I was looking for a slightly used vehicle with low mileage, and a 2-litre engine. My husband has mobility issues, so we needed someth Oceanside GM. I was looking for a slightly used vehicle with low mileage, and a 2-litre engine. My husband has mobility issues, so we needed something that was easy to get in and out of. I also didn’t want a black or white vehicle. Morgan came to the rescue. He even brought vehicles to our home to save us a few trips to the car lot. It took some months to fill the challenging request, and I was willing to wait. After meeting Morgan, I knew I wouldn't purchase a car from anyone else. He came through with flying colours. He found just what we needed at a Kelowna dealership. They made arrangements to get it to their lot and we took it home yesterday. Everything was perfect. More

Just want to shout out a big Thank You to Morgan, Great salesman just all around good guy , would buy off him again salesman just all around good guy , would buy off him again More
