Our written response is as follows... Mr. [redacted] brought his vehicle to us for the first time on 11-01-2017. He asked us to Diagnose a check engine light on his [redacted] with [redacted] miles. He also told us that he had already replaced his EGR valve and...

Crank sensor and the car continues to cut off. We determined that the EGR tube seal was leaking vacuum and he authorized us to replace it. That was the first bill of $[redacted] he refers to in his complaint.He returned to our shop on 11-20-2017 with [redacted] miles stating that the vehicle was smoking and had ran hot on him. We brought vehicle in the shop and found to be very low on coolant and it was leaking from the heater hose connector. We quoted $[redacted] to replace and fill the system back to specs and re-drive it. Once repairs were done, We filled system and test drove vehicle. No more smoking and temp did not overheat. It stayed within specs during test drive.We received a call from customer saying that the temp started climbing again and he wanted his money back. We invited him to bring back to the shop so we could determine why his temp was high, but he did not want to return. Just wanted his money back.When a vehicle is smoking due to a leak, and vehicle has overheated, the only way to determine what it needs is to find the source of the leak and fix it. Once all external leaks are fixed, then we can test drive to see if any other damage has been done. During our test drive after our repair, the engine did not show any overheating conditions. At this point, the customer must drive the car and advise us if the temp remains in normal operating range.As a repair facility, We have no way of knowing how hot this engine really got and can only go for repairing any external leaks found. If there were no external leaks, then our next step is to see if something internal of engine was affected by the overheating. There was no check engine light on during this visit. We were not given the opportunity to verify and diagnose his current problem.As we told Mr. [redacted] when he called us back stating the temp was getting high again, we would have to check it out and he just wanted a refund.We would not charge any diagnosis fee when checking this vehicle out because this customer has already paid for it. Once we verify and find out the cause, we will provide estimate on needed repairs.If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call. Keith U[redacted]Service ManagerHaley CDJR[redacted]

Review: We dove over an hour to this dealership. We found "the jeep" while we were there. My husband did all of the talking and handled the business while I stayed back. We needed to go to our bank so they could handle the loan portion of the transaction. We were told by GS that they could just plug in our info because they worked with our bank but because our loan officer at the bank had told us to come back to her to get a paper check to present to the dealer, we declined and explained it to him. We tried to contact our loan officer to see if it would be okay but she was unavailable being it was afternoon on a Saturday. My husband asked if they would be able to hold the vehicle until monday(today 12/2/2013). GS said no because they needed a deposit. I got antsy so I went outside. My husband asked the guy doing the paperwork if he could ask the [redacted] because it being Saturday afternoon, the banks were closed and Sunday the dealership & banks would be closed if they could please ask the [redacted] to make an exception because of that and Monday morning we would contact the banks and the dealership and finalize the paperwork after my husband got off work on Monday . The guy(don't know his name) told my husband the [redacted] would allow it. And he typed up a paper to give to our bank. My husband asked them to have the rest of the documents ready for us to sign on Monday. Today we received the news that they in fact did not hold it. My husband had some choice words for GS and hung up on him. I emailed them and received an email back that the [redacted] told us no that they would not hold it and that I was apparently a witness to it( I was sitting in our car at the time the [redacted] was asked and husband was told yes) and that the deposit was policy.. I did email him back and told him to recheck the facts and let him know I felt they were twisting our words around to make us look at fault. I understand the deposit was policy but when you are lied to about (the loan guy saying yes the [redacted] Approved it while the [redacted] is ether a. Lying to save face or b. the loan guy never actually asked him) it really makes for bad business.Desired Settlement: I would like an honest to goodness explanation of what happened, I want them to own up to their mistake. Did GS sell the vehicle because the loan/paper guy didn't tell him to hold it. Did the [redacted] forget what he agreed to? I really want them to rectify the situation. They would have had a sale from us on another vehicle even after this incident had they been honest and owned up to their mistake.

Dear [redacted],

Review: I took my van there to be fixed.And the van is still not fixed,it is still cutting off.They said they change my fuel pump.I told them I just got a fuel pump put on it.And they said that the fuel pump was no good.So I ask them to save the fuel pump so I can take it back to the store where I purchase it from.And they did not save the pump for me.So now I have a invoice for 655.80 that I pay for my van,that is not running. And I want my money back.If they had the pump I could get my money back plus labor from the store where I paid for it.I have call Capital [redacted] three days in a row, and no respond.They are not returning any of my calls.PLease help me with this problem.They are trying to play me like a blind man.([redacted])And also my gas meter is broke now and it was not broken when I took it there. It ran out gas when the other mechanic fixed my van.So they developed another problem.Now I have to fix that.Please help me retrieve my money.(655.80) Thanks [redacted]Desired Settlement: TO solve this problem I want my 655.80 back. Because the van is still doing the same thing.And the first shop said it was not the pump it was electric problem,and they do not work on electric problems.So thats why I took it to the dealer.(Capital Chrysler Dodge)So now you see why I said they are treating me like a blind man.I just want my money back and call it a day.And I hope no one else have this problem like I had. Thanks

Review: I went to Capital [redacted] after being quoted a repair cost of approx $411 less than another shop I inquired with. I told them what I needed repaired, yet they insisted that my issue was something else. I was not convinced, as I had just had those things repaired about 2 years prior, yet they assured me they had pinpointed the issue. They made the repairs, I picked up my car and drove less than 5 miles from the dealership when my car started leaking fluids. I called them, took the car back, they supposedly repaired another issue and told me I was good to go. Two days following the second repair, my car started running hot (which was the initial complaint), they asked me to bring the car back. This time, all I receieved were excuses. They couldn't tell me why my car still wasn't running as it should. They told me everything from "I should trade my car in" to "i wouldnt put any more money into it seeing as though your car is 12 years old". They refused to accept responsibility for not fixing the problem. I dont trust them to fix my car at this point and would like a refund of the $1350.00 I paid.Desired Settlement: I dont trust them to fix my car at this point and would like a refund of the $1350.00 I paid.

On July 11th 2013 [redacted] had her car towed to Capital Auto Group Inc. after discussing a price with [redacted] to replace a head gasket. [redacted] had her vehicle at an independent repair facility for overheating and that shop told her she needed a head gasket. Capital Auto Group Inc. had never worked on [redacted]’ car in the past and she was told that we would have to look at the car before we would confirm whether or not the head gasket was bad. An eleven year old vehicle with 141,000 miles may have multiple issues. The technician pulled the vehicle into the shop and began his inspection. He first realized that was no antifreeze in the engine or reservoir. He added antifreeze and pressure tested the coolant system. The water pump was leaking antifreeze to the point that it came out almost as fast as he added it. [redacted] was notified that this would have to be repaired before any other decisions could be made on the state of her vehicle. She did advise [redacted] that the pump had been replaced about two years ago and Capital told her she should check into any warranty she may have on that repair from the other repair facility that did the work. [redacted] approved the water pump replacement along with the timing belt (normal maintenance item). Upon completion of the repair the technician checked the vehicle again and no other issues were detected at that time. The vehicle then sat parked at Capital for another month while [redacted] obtained the money to pay for the repair bill. During this entire time there were no fluids on the ground under her vehicle indicating there were any additional problems. After [redacted] picked the vehicle up on August 9th, 2013 she returned to Capital and the vehicle was leaking antifreeze. We checked the vehicle and found the radiator was leaking. Capital gave [redacted] a rental vehicle and ordered the radiator. We replaced the radiator and test drove the car and it operated as it should. [redacted] was not charged for the radiator repair nor the rental vehicle (which she kept two days after being told her vehicle was ready costing Capital and extra $70). One week later she returned to Capital yet again stating her vehicle was overheating. She was advised that her vehicle had some additional internal engine problems and she declined to continue with repairs at her expense.

Review: On Nov. 3, 2014, I purchased a [redacted] from Capital [redacted] on Laburnum

Ave in Richmond VA. Being a marketing rep with many assignments during a peak

holiday season, I had a great need for transportation. I was at Capital before they were open for business so I could focus on choices w/o pressure. I saw the [redacted] and checked out the features, stats and price and decided that it was my best choice. I did not test drive the car, trusting that all would be well. Ordinarily I would have tested the car on the road.The the first day, I noticed hesitations. I figured since the warning light did not come on, this was just a minor issue. This happened regularly. On April 6 I saw the warning light for the first time, and the car stopped. I kept pressing the accelerator and it eventually started again. On my birthday, April 7, the light came on again and the car stopped within a block or so of my home. I took it back home and used my wife's car. I took the car to Capital and they did a diagnostic test determining that the throttle body was defected. The cost of about $800 is not something I can afford now! This is a serious, no, VITAL issue They should have done the diagnostic tests on this car BEFORE they sold it to me. It was NOT a 'BUY AS IS' vehicle. I trusted their integrity. Now I know I was wrong . This incident will also be reported to NHTSA ( U.S. National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration), not out of malice--I've been a Christian most of my life and malice is not something I support. I am concerned about others...kids, babies, the elderly and all who need to be safe on the roads. It is SO sad that for many businesses today...it's all about the $$$... Furthermore, after having done research on-line, my wife plans to suggest to [redacted] that there needs to be a RECALL on this Make/model [redacted]Desired Settlement: I would like for this company to be more concerned about customer satisfaction, even for one customer! Businesses are larger and seemingly more powerful than individual

concerns, but customers have the right to take their business elsewhere and people

are the necessary 'backbone' or support structure to any business. A significant

Law of nature and life in general is that we reap what we sow. What goes around comes back around. What we plant in the earth is what grows. If a company wants

a great business's then, that company should seek to be great to ALL of the their

Customers! I would like for this company to foot the bill for their error of not being Professional and Thorough.

Mr [redacted] never previously complained to us any issue with the vehicle until that time which was almost 7000 miles and 5 months since the vehicle was purchased.
