I have taken my car there for over 20 years, I always go to Berger Chevrolet. If something needs to be done then they come and tell you what needs to be done and how much it would cost. If I could give an “A+”, I would give an “A+”. I’ve been going to them for year, I can’t even tell you how long, I know it’s over 20 years. Every single car I’ve ever had, that’s where I go. Price – It didn’t break the bank. It’s my punctuality, because they give you the time and then I drive my car and get there. My whole family goes there. I would definitely highly recommend them to anyone who’s driving a Chevy. Maybe they do other cars, I don’t know. All I know is that we all drive Chevys in my family. I can’t think of any way that they can improve, they are perfect. Waiting area - They have a tv that’s on and they have the coffee and all of that. Their chairs are very comfortable and the restrooms aren’t very far away. It’s very nice. They’re good about if you’re going to take a long time, they’ll bring you home and then pick you up and take you back. They don’t charge you for it. Like if they’re going to be doing something on your car that’s going to take a long time, they’ll do that.

Their services are more than excellent. The cost of service last time was free because I got a lease. They are a little bit pricey compared to a local station I might go to. The only thing is they are so busy that is because they are so good.

I did not like the price they charged for the little work they did. They know we have some money so every time they just jack up the price. I took it somewhere else and got it done way cheaper. I had to take it back so I guess the quality of work was not too good. They did not fix it.

Bought a truck from used department at Berger. Used sales department said that service department prescreened the truck and only issue was a loose left wheel bearing. Berger fixed left wheel bearing with cost of truck. WITHIN ONE WEEK of buying the truck it stranded me twice due to separate issues. Took into Berger service dept and diagnosed major problems. Estimated $1300 for the surface problems and said truck had more problems that they would need to dig into. Called around and got cheaper prices through other shops. Went to pickup truck since got a cheaper estimate but they couldn't give me my truck due to putting new parts into the vehicle without my consent. I NEVER told Berger that I wanted it fixed nor did I sign anything to allow them too.
Summary:
Used department claimed vehicle ran good and service department gave it a clean bill of health.
Service department after purchase gave an outrageous estimate and said had major problems
Today will be one week from date of purchase and Berger won't split cost or do anything to retain business.
Everything the sales department says about making sure you are happy in the vehicle and taking care of you is BS
Once the car or truck is sold its your problem.
Worst dealer I have ever dealt with.

They are letting me trade the car for another car.
Update #2. They told me they would let me trade the car for another car and make it right. I thought that was good since they didnt have to. So I went to look at cars and make arrangements with them. They showed me two cars. One of the cars looked to small so no consideration. The second was nice. We took for a test drive and liked it then found out it was 3,000 more than the original car. Bought whose motor died. Here's the making it right deal I was offered. My original car was purchased for around 6,000 and a loan of 4,000. The make it right deal was they would give me 3,500 (doesn't even cover loan) and I would purchase the car for almost 8,000. All along I have stated I didn't want to go higher and put myself n more debt. They did not listen or really try to make it right or help. They were very nice and professional but I would never ever buy another vehicle from there.

Update #3. They called today and found a motor for me and offered to pay half and I can have anyone install it. This is a very fair offer since it was an as is warranty on the car. They turned a bad situation into a tolerable one.

We had to leave our car and get a rental for one day. They gave us a discount on the rental and a small discount on the service as well. The employees were polite and professional. The car has been driving fine, with no problems since the service. They have late hours for pick-up (to 8PM) which is great since I work till 7 PM. They recommended we buy a new alternater because it didn't sound quite right and we were already there for service. We did not do this because of the cost, but will take it back to this place for repair when it does fail.

They were very professional and very quick. The car was done when promised. It was warranty repairs and the warranty covered it but it was over $1,000. I didn't have to pay anything.

The service consultant was very polite. The waiting room is very neat. I've been going there since 2004 and have always received very good service from them. If I have any questions they are quick to check out what the issue is and let me know what I need to know.

I went in for an oil change and accidentally pulled into the service bay rather than the quick oil change bay. I offered to move, but they said they'd do it for me and add a free inspection as a courtesy. 30 minutes later, I received a $600 list of items that needed to be fixed, even though the service associated had just complimented me on how well his computer showed we have maintained the car at this dealership. Now I have a whole bunch of problems, none of which are perceivable when driving. For example, the technician indicated I need new front brake pads and rotors, even though the brake pedal still rides high and is firm, with no indication of wear while driving. Knowing that, even if he is right, he should have invited me into the shop and shown me the damage or wear rather than just expect me to trust that all these things are suddenly in dire need of repair. The oil change apparently went well.

My "service traction light" in my car was constantly on and I knew something was wrong with my traction system so I turned it off. Eventually I brought my Chevy Venture into Berger for service. I was not thrilled in paying for them to diagnose my car but at least the $ they charged was credited toward the repair. The best thing was that they gave me a ride home and picked me up later once my repairs were complete for no extra charge! The repairs were expensive as they had to replace the right rear wheel hub assembly but they did call me once the problem was diagnosed; told me how much it would cost; and then let me decide with no pressure on their part what I wanted to do. I did consider not even getting it fixed but a traction system is a good feature when driving one's kids around on MI roads in the winter. The car was done at the time promised and they picked me up at the exact time I requested. Nice job!

I HAD BOUGHT THE CAR THERE RECENTLY AND NEEDED TO GET THE BRAKES REPAIRED ALREADY. I WAS NOT PLEASED WITH THE PRICE THEY CHARGED ME OR THAT I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR WORKED ON RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT IT.
