Keyless entry programming Went to Wolfe Cadillac on Saturday to see if I could get a couple of new fobs programmed and was told they only had apprentice mechanics in on the wee Went to Wolfe Cadillac on Saturday to see if I could get a couple of new fobs programmed and was told they only had apprentice mechanics in on the weekend, I asked how much it would be to have this done and was told $85.00, I then made my way to Wheaton's were I spoke to a service advisor and was told they couldn't help me that day but I could bring it in during the week. I asked how much it would be and was told 0.5 hour which is what Wolfe told me so i made an appointment for Monday. When I arrived I spoke to John McAvoy and right away he was telling me it would take an hour around $150. I told John I was in on Saturday and was told 0.5. This morning before going to Wheaton's I grabbed a new ignition key so I'd have an extra when I mentioned this to John his first words were we'll have to charge you more for this if you want to have it programmed my reply was I'd do it myself as (I thought it was like my Chevy and Pontiacs where you just cycled the good key then immediately cycled the new key) which it wasn't. They got my car into the shop and a tech finnaly started to work on it and next thing John is calling me to say the reciever in the car was not accepting signals and asked me if i wanted them to spend more time to find the problem but it would cost me more, I said go ahead as I wanted to know if I needed to pull a new receiver out of a parts dealer in the US cause all the Canadian suppliers were saying discontinued no longer available for sale, I found a new one online. In the end the Tech # 413 disconnected the receiver and reconnected it and it started working again so he was able to program my 2 fobs so I left feeling good about the car but bad as I feel I was mislead on pricing. If John really knew his product he would have informed me there was no self programming on my Caddy. I'm sure my car is not the first to need a receiver reset which should be part of the fob programming procedure, I watched the Tech from the moment my car was brought into the shop and he finally started working on it which was about 20 minutes total yet I was charged 0.8 so $ 122 labor, 19.52 Misc for a total of $ 148.60 . When John let me know it was done I asked if they had programmed my extra key and he replied no you said you'd do it yourself, again I didn't realize self programming was not an option so when I got home I tried setting up my key but failed, my point being the Tech already had the scan tool hooked up to the car but I would have to pay even more for a 2 minute job so now I'll have to make another trip and pay more to have an extra key for this car. Maybe if we were charged quoted rates a lot of people wouldn't have such a negative feeling about using dealership service departments. There is no customer development or retention at this dealership all it's about is we'll have to charge you more, so sad. Once they have your car your a hostage not impressive at all every little thing is we'll have to charge you more. You can probably get just as good of service at much better pricing elsewhere. Should have gone Wolfe for the real Caddy experience. Don't feel good about Wheaton's at all. More

Thank You to Cassidy & Nik Jr It was nice to walk in to a roomy dealership. Cassidy was very knowledgeable, I had not given any thought to buying a Cadillac in my 4 months of vehi It was nice to walk in to a roomy dealership. Cassidy was very knowledgeable, I had not given any thought to buying a Cadillac in my 4 months of vehicle shopping so I give Cassidy a lot of credit for how helpful he was. I didn't have to listen to "how great this dealership was and their great ratings etc" as I heard from other dealerships. It's been quite an experience for me as a single senior lady. Test driving a suv with sold sign in window but "no that doesn't mean anything " 2 hrs later I'm told "sorry it's sold but here is another one" a lot higher price. Thank you Cassidy & Nik Jr your honesty and professionalism was appreciated, no other dealership could I say came anywhere close! More
