WOW! This is an incredible story. I read your previous post and wondered what had happened to your dad. But this! Wow! Very cool. I am sure while you where trudging through it, it wasn’t cool. But in the end, its an amazing testimony. Thanks for sharing. I hope it’s ok for me to share with some friends?

I too feel compelled to vent my frustrations with this dealership. The past several months of dealing with Stew Hansen’s has been a nightmare! I admit that I am a total customer service & satisfaction snob and this dealership has not provided that service or satisfaction. Based on my experiences, not only is their service work questionable, and in my opinion just plain shoddy, their customer service SUCKS! I have reached the point where I am now driving 2 1/2 hours to a reputable Jeep dealer that I know I can trust to service my vehicle. I would not recommend Stew Hansen to anyone, nor will I ever do business with them again. For anyone looking for a great experience, check out Junge in Center Point!

Gee I don’t think I would share my thoughts factor by making a statement that a “pickup is worth more than a minivan” especially with $3.50 gas. Obviously, the van is worth more to you, if you are shopping for one.
Also, in the 10’s of vehicles I have bought it is my experience that before I get numbers I have to get my trade-in appraised so the numbers are accurate. Blue book is not the real world it is only a guideline and with pickups so gas sensitive they are losing value by the second. I know this because I’m a victim of thinking I was stealing a truck only to find out I’m $2000 negative today and I bought it 5 weeks ago. As I had it explained that books, black, blue, kelly, NADA,etc are at least 4 weeks behind usually 6 weeks in values. This helps you especially with a truck that is getting worth less each day. I just read where pickups were off over 30% since the 1st of the year.
And last but not least, if this dealership is on a street with heavy volume of traffic it is probably a good policy of the dealership’s to allow the salesman to drive first. It is probably an insurance mandated process. I wish my salesman would have driven first when the 04 chevy I was roadtesting stalled when i pulled out into traffic to begin my test drive.
Anyway, I don’t sell cars nor do I want to. If you pay attention to any news about the automobile business you will understand that your truck is becoming worth less each moment. It has probably lost value since I began this note due to the gas prices. I haven’t been able to have the warm and fuzzy’s with every salesman I’ve dealt with either but i figure 25% of america hate their own children so I’m not going to get along with all.
Anyway, hang in there and try to find a good deal. I learned a long time ago that if I can afford it and I like it…it is a good deal.

I had an experience with a sales rep named Randy. He has only been with Stew Hansen;s since September, and you could sure tell it. Before even discussing number and seeing if we would come to an agreement, he started filling out all the information for financing. Didn’t ask how much of the balance we were going to finance. We were in the market, and still are, for a 2008 Jeep Patroit. We wouldn’t knock anything off the sticker price, and was giving me less than the Kelly Blue book. We walked out and will probably go out of town.

Same experience with Stew Hanson. Sales rep I had was a total liar! Though I was looking at used cars, I had the sales rep blame everything wrong with the car on the cold weather!

Nick,

Before you go and slander somone else’s career, check yourself. I left engineering to come and sell cars because that is what got me passionate about engineering to begin with but I didn’t want to move that far from my family. I believe that there is a place for someone with morals in this career choice. I don’t believe in taking advantage of any customers, and hope to build a solid referral base.

That being said, we all go to work to do one thing: earn a living to pay the bills and put food on the table for our families. So before you go bashing again, think twice. I’m sure you work somewhere, and where ever it is, I am sure you expect to be paid for your services, as do we.

And remember, with the internet, it has never been easier to buy a car or know what the maket value is, so grow a pair and quit bashing us.
