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

The Great Customer interaction from all the different departments when I purchased my used Canyon over the phone, found it on Kijiji. We flew in to Victoria at the local Airport, the shuttle was waiting. When my family got to Harris we Met Mike and Amanda Hildebrand and slowly met the rest of the team! They are more than a Car Dealership...was like a Vacation destination with the Tourist Package! They told us all the sites on the Island to see and Enjoy, Like Goats on the Roof! They did a pre Inspection of the Lil Canyon and gave it a great review when they were finished. All the paper work was taken care of and Yes it passed the out of province inspection here with out any Issue! Truthfully I was shocked...Nothing wrong! I cant say Enough about Mike Hildebrand and Lief Peek and his Team at Harris Oceanside GMC!! I would not hesitate to do another Out of Province purchase with these people again and will continue to browse their Inventory. ThanX...Brian Van Meeteren and Family St. Albert AB Oh The Drive back in the Canyon...That's another story! More

March 16th 2024 we purchased a 2018 GMC Terrain from Harris Oceanside. Of course we were excited so we went for a drive with it just after leaving the dealership. We drove to Dashwood, as we arrived at Harris Oceanside. Of course we were excited so we went for a drive with it just after leaving the dealership. We drove to Dashwood, as we arrived at our destination we noticed an awful smell coming from the SUV along with smoke coming out of the tailpipe. Being that we just bought this car from what we thought was a reputable dealership we weren't to worried, we continued on our way. The next morning when we turned the car on the dash light up like Christmas as well as an alert telling us there was no oil pressure. We checked the oil and the car was bone dry, where did the oil go we wondered?..as there was none on the ground. We went to the store and immediately put oil in it. It seemed to run better so we continued on with our day. Shortly after we started driving the check engine light came on again, at this point we called and booked an appointment to have our car looked at. We brought our car in on April 4th 2024, we were told that day that the engine of our car was blown and needed to be replaced. Unfortunately since we only had the car for 2 weeks the warranty won't cover the engine, warranties only start 30 days after purchase. We were told to speak with the sales manager. After talking with the sales manager (Leif Peek), we were told they would hold the car there until our warranty starts on April 16th 2024 and they will then put a warranty claim for our engine and fix our car. Once our warranty starts we would also be able to take advantage of our rental car coverage also. In the mean time Leif had given us a loaner car for 2 weeks that he had put demonstration plates on to help us out. Little did we know this is illegal, demonstration plates are only valid for 3 days. We ended up getting pulled over on April 13th 2024 and the loaner vehicle and license plate were impounded, luckily we weren't fined for driving with an illegal plate and no insurance. After speaking with Leif about this he ensured us he would fix everything and get us another loaner on Monday April15th 2024. Monday comes around and Leif has changed his plan of action and now he insists on selling us a second car for $800 a month instead of fixing our car that we love and only pay $500 a month for. After Leif was trying to convince us for 2 days that this is a great idea we finally made it very clear we are done talking about this and just want our car fixed or our money back. Now Leif tells us the car will be fixed under warranty and to talk to the service department, which I did and the work order for our car is not active and no parts have been ordered. We had to rent a car, we tried to us our warranty and it was denied. We now have a $27,000 loan, a car with a blown engine, a rental carl we are paying $110 a day for with absolutely no answers from Harris. DO NOT BUY A CAR AT THIS DEALERSHIP More
