Out of this world service! My car was towed 2:30p to shop on Friday, diagnosis made, a new starter installed and I was back to driving vehicle by 7p! Great communication through out too. Cannot go wrong here. Angie Fosnough

I took my car up to U-Haul to to get this hitch installed and they had no idea on what they were doing so they were very happy when I said just sell me the hitch and I'll take it someplace that can install I took enough to Brown's automotive and the mechanic name is Junior and he dived right into it which was actually pretty technical but he took care of it and it works and looks great. really got me out of the pinch and I sure appreciate it excellent service.

Great! I was impressed with how much time they were willing to spend with me and I left feeling confident in what I was told. I also feel comfortable going back and asking questions if needed. Very impressed with this process.

I went in for a repair because I smelled gas when the car was shut off, but no leaking. I don't do rodeo stunts, hill hopping, or anything else crazy with the car except drive it in Kansas City traffic as they began to infer later. Nathan Parker is the Service Rep I dealt with. Nathan Parker was crude, rude, disrespectful and right down nasty at every turn. They did a code check and it came up with P0456 and a smoke test, and the only area of trouble they could see was the leaking around the O ring. (His faked notes said O ring, collar, and fuel pump, and that's just one bogus part of this whole nightmare.) O ring would need to be ordered and it would run about $340 but he said he could do better than that and eventually quoted $295 with a coupon. So why would you order just the O ring if the collar and fuel pump really needed to be ordered, too, unless he's lying about the details on the invoice? Nothing was said about any other part having a problem. He estimated that the car would be ready around 2pm on Tuesday, and I told him I could wait a little while and be late for work since I would be getting my car back that day and not have to wait any longer. He told me he would give me the loaner, all I would need to do is sign a paper and be on my way and see them Tuesday. He then didn't come back for a whole other hour. I finally went to the service area. He said he had been busy helping other customers more important than me! Really?! On Tuesday, I called him at 2 pm since he had not called me by that time. His first nasty remark was, "Shouldn't you be at work right now?" It was not said nicely and out of genuine concern, it was said like someone berating their child for not going to sleep on time. I was still nice and said I was willing to wait if the car would be ready soon. He said the car was fighting them getting the collar off because it had seized and that they would try soaking it in lubricants. So therefore, go to work and I would see them Wednesday since I

I have had nothing but problems with this dealership and there service department. I am now on my third engine and third transmission. Every time they put in a motor something else goes wrong. But they put another motor in my truck last week and when i got it back the service engine soon light came on. So i figure it is something they done when putting the motor back. I take it in the next day and they say it is the spark plugs and wires causing the problem and charged me 100 bucks for the telling me that. So i brought my Equinox home and was going to change the plugs and wires because they wanted to charge me over 500.00 to do it for me. Well i get it home and start having more problems all the electronics are having problems now and the steering wheel won't turn and the Equinox won't start now. So i guess it wasn't the plugs and wires after all. So i take it back and now they tell me it is the battery then i get a call that they found a bad 80.00 fuse. So they refund my money for telling me the plugs and wires were the problem but now charge me 380.00 for the fuse and new battery. So i bring it home and now the codes are still lighting up. But keep in mind none of this happened until they replace the motor in my Equinox. I would say buy your car somewhere else!!
