bought my traverse there and always service it there because an extended warranty but by the end of my coverage, i started to pay more attention, i ask what was wrong with my car and their response; you are not even paying for it so why do you need to know, or the mechanic does not think this should be fix or not, first of all, yes im paying for it, second if im paying i should get an explanation if i want to, but since that happened i wasnt very happy so i look for another dealer, bad to, so went back to get some fix: electrical problem i thought, so they take 2 days to find out the problem, the manager calls me and tells me "ok we got it some cable was dirty and we clean it and the mechanics recommend you change the spark plugs and is going to be 800 plus tax" so i get really upset how is it so expensive to change the plugs and how they decided to change them, but got no answer they call the general manager because i did not want to pay for replacing the plugs but i still was getting charge for the diagnostic of the car, but they said this is a recommendation the computer doesnt show that, to what i said that in the past if your car was having electrical problems the first thing you did was clean or calibrated or change the plugs and that you dont need to be a mechanic for that, but the general manager did want nothing of that, he said that i always argue with them and that he remembers me form other times and that i always want to basically get the diagnostic for free, i dont mind to pay for the computer diagnostic but the computer only show a bad connection (the cable that was clean) but since cleaning a cable and charging some body 200 to clean a cable was not enough for them they also want me to spend another 600 changing the spark plugs and in the middle of all this they fix a recall with out my consent, because i will like to take the buissness elswhere but they decided to fix it again because i pay nothing. but this should be my saying not theirs. so this was my experience from hell at this dealer, so different from the treat you get when you buy the unit and for the first years under warranty after that BE READY FOR THE PUTNAM HELL

This one was a routine service, oil change and basic inspection. It was explained to me that it will take more than 3 hours waiting, the service agent offer a ride or suggested a way to enjoy my time. Also, he gave me an estimated for the service. Once the service finished, he explained everything was performed in my car and the conditions. Paid for the service and I was ready to go. He was very courteous, very professional explaining anything I asked. Great service!

Hal the salesman was great, the finance guy was great, the service was terrible, I would fire the service person I dealt with. I ask him several times for a simple accommodation and ended up taking care of it myself while they (he and his supervisor) watched. I would not bring the car back to them, nor in all probability refer anyone there.

Mark Gebhardt and the Putnam staff always take excellent care of my beautiful CTS. I am so glad they found the leak and were able to fix it in a timely way and the loan of the SRX gave me a chance to drive a car I thought I might want to buy next time around. As it turned out, I discovered it is too big a car for me to comfortably handle, but the chance to try it was very much appreciated.

Already sent J. Rodrigues an email of gratitude, but will say more here short and sweet. Mr. Yi has been a solid supporter throughout this year. I have experience some major repair difficulties for my truck, and throughout he has been an excellent advisor. Mr. Yi has offered supportive explanations of repairs needed, explaining alternative and the "causes and effects" as I will call it. Your repair staff has worked to promptly execute necessary repairs, minimizing any inconveniences for me due to lack of my regular transportation. You have a very busy shop, and with out a doubt due to the efforts and professionalism of Mr. Yi and the repair personnel I am today a happy customer.

The wife and I were interested in the 2016 Volt so we decided to go check them out. We were happy to find a demo on the lot. Hal helped us on the decision, he explained how it worked, pointed out different features and options. I found that the premium had options that are very nice but un necessary for our lifestyle and projected use. There was no pressure to get us into a premium. He explained that there was a model coming in that met our needs with a few whistles and no bells. Perfect. Hal and the crew at Putnam took care of us and on a Sunday... While the 49ers were playing and after his family just had twins!! Everyone went out of there way to make sure we were happy and were able to get into the car we wanted that day. This isnt the first car we purchased from Putnam Chevy and will not be the last. If friends or family are looking to buy a Chevy, Cadillac or GMC we always recommend the sales team at Putnam. Gazillion Starss rating in my opinion. The Car, We absolutely love. Drives, looks and I project no gas station visits for a long time. But Ill save that for a separate review makes it a perfect addition to the family. Cheers!! Vince, Gina Elle and Eli Ortiz.

I made an appt for an oil change and some additional service on my Equinox. I mentioned that I have occasionally heard a clunking sound and was concerned that it might be the beginning of something serious. Chris Pitambar said he would have the mechanic check the motor mounts and some other possible causes of the sound. I hesitated bringing up such a vague description because as an older woman I have had bad experiences with dealership service departments and so have my friends. Because the cause could not be determined, Robert asked me to drive around with him and see if we could hear what I was describing. Unfortunately we could not reproduce what I had heard. Robert even pumped gas for me because my car was very low. We returned to the dealership and he assured me that I was free to call him and come back when it occured again and he would once again try to identify the cause. When we returned to Putnam, Chris calculated the bill and it was very close to the estimate he had given me to begin with. I was concerned that the extra time spent to diagnose the problem unsuccessfully would result in a large additional bill. This did not happen and I was very impressed with the friendly, respectful attitude that permeated the experience. I give Putnam Chevrolet Service a rating of 10.
