Where other companies may try to get what they can out of you, this place was helpful, informative, and friendly. They helped my son with his lost ignition key. Thank you for your integrity!

CALL A DEALERSHIP!!! BUYER BEWARE!!!

Had an emergency during a CP visit. Service rep Dan who was super friendly came out. He asked us about our fob, we told him we knew we had remote start but werent sure how many buttons were in the fob. He presented a fob that looked like mine and asked if it looked the same. I told him it looked similar but I wasnt 100% sure if it was correct, I thought so but wasnt sure. Just losing our keys had me rattled as you can imagine so I was panicked. He tried programming the fob and had issues with getting the car to recognize the key. The car wouldn't recognize the fob but would allow it to drive the car if the fob was placed into the programming slot. He told us to drive it home and stop at the shop to have it fixed the next day. I asked if we could pay after we stopped and had it fixed at the shop and he said he needed payment today and not to worry shout tomorrow. I just came to the shop and they want another $275 to get me a fob that will lock my car and be recognized to drive it. I do not have another $275 after paying $400 yesterday. I acknowledge that I said I THOUGHT the fob looked the same, but they are failing to acknowledge that they told me it would be taken care of today and that their employee programmed the fob without knowing 100% that it was the correct fob. SHOP ACKNOWLEDGED I SAID I WASN'T SURE! They told me because they already programmed the one fob, they can't erase it and use it again... well they could but they would need 2 of the correct fobs in stock, which they do not have, and I would still have to pay for a second key fob. Avoid this place and take it to the dealership where they know FOR SURE what they are doing to your car. Very shady practices.
