Warning to everybody that is shopping for a car... especially a Chevrolet!

This has got to be the WORST Chevrolet Dealership in the United States!

Powers Chevrolet out by the Superstition Mall in Mesa, Arizona have a
Service Manager named Derek Hadid that seems to be totally focused on
ripping off customers! How could ANY sane person be tempted to buy
a car from a dealership when they know the service department will refuse
to honor a warranty... in FACT, Derek Hadid goes out of his way to harass
customers, lie about having responsibility to repair problems under a
Chevrolet warranty, and make a statement as dumb as....

"I don't build Chevrolet's so I am NOT responsible to repair them"

How can any person, hired to be the Service Manager of a Chevrolet
Dealership, make such a stupid statement? The problem is.... Derek Hadid
actually
believes that.

I love Chevrolet automobiles.... and I have owned many of them. In fact, I
still own a Chevrolet. But it will be a cold day in Hell before Powers
Chevrolet
gets any money from me. I would drive all the way to Florida to have my
Chevrolet serviced, or to buy parts... or anything before Power's Chevrolet
will lever
see one penny of my money!

How can anybody TRUST a car dealership that would hire a man and place him
in a leadership capacity... who's primary goal in life is to rip off
customers... Probably
to increase his departments revenue so he can increase his own bonus! "Screw
the customer"
seems to be Derek Hadid's primary focus.

AND... if Power's Chevrolet hired and trained Derek Hadid... and if
Power's Chevrolet continues to employee Derek Hadid... and if Derek Hadid
is allowed to
continually rip off customers... as the Service Department Manager... WHAT
does that say about
EVERY DEPARTMENT at Power's Chevrolet?

Are you getting screwed by paying too much for a new car? Are Power's
Chevrolet Sales people trained to rip off customers... sucking every nickel
out of their pocket...
and taking a little blood along with your hard earned money.

Power's Chevrolet in Mesa, AZ (by the Superstition Mall) is owned by
AutoNation... a giant corporation that is the "largest automotive retailer
in the United States". No wonder
they are so arrogant and self-serving!

Don't allow yourself... or your friends to get ripped off by Power's
Chevrolet... or AutoNation! I believe that if you buy a car from them,
you will NEVER get ahead because they won't service
it unless you pay through the nose and "warranty" ... General Motors
Chevrolet division should yank their franchise... before Power's Chevrolet
and
their giant parent corporation "AutoNation" destroy the once solid
reputation of Chevrolet!

Take Heed America! Don't buy anything from Power's Chevrolet in Mesa
Arizona!

I feel your pain!

Just let me mention Coast GMC Pontiac in Portsmouth, New Hampshire
while we are on the subject. They took over the local GMC dealership
after I bought van (in '96) and I had to take it there for warranty
work. Not only were the mechanics inept, taking 2-3 visits before
they would acknowledge an obvious problem, but the service manager was
a jerk and one time tried to get me to pay for half of a warranty job.

I couldn't tell you if the same service manager is still there, but it
doesn't matter. I would never again deal with an outfit that had
somebody like that on their staff.

Another place that sucks is Sun Pontiac in Mesa, assuming those lying
bastards are still in business.
