Business ProfileforLakeside Chevrolet, Inc.

I went into Lakeside in February, 2023 in high hopes of finding a used car with little to no issues. I found a 2017 Jeep compass that I fell in love with. I asked multiple different questions and the salesman, **** told me that it was in perfect condition and the previous owner seemed to have taken really good care of it. I took it for a test drive and my fianc, parents and even the salesman smelled coolant. I ended up taking it off the lot that same day. I didnt even make it half way home before the check engine light came on. It was too late to take it back that night (Friday night) because they closed customer service as I was leaving. Took it back the next week and found out the check engine light came on due to catalytic converter being out. They fixed that free of charge, but proceeded to tell me that there was no coolant leak. The next time it rained (the next week after purchasing) it felt unsafe to drive, due to hydroplaning. and kept getting worse. Took it into a repair shop and the alignment was WAY OFF. They fixed the alignment and replaced the tires as they were becoming warn due to bad alignment. Fast forward to this month (June) the coolant smell is still apparent, and my car randomly dies at stop lights Lakeside told me it was the starter. They replaced the starter, it was covered by the insurance but still had to pay deductible ($250). I also had lakeside check on the coolant leak again because I was having to fill the coolant MUCH more than before, and the service lady told me she didnt recall me asking for it to be checked. Lakeside told me there was a crack in the radiator and an oil leak as well. This week I took it back to the repair shop, they fixed the radiator because the coolant spilled all over the ground. The alternate shop told me that it appears that the car has been in a collision. I wont be going back to lakeside again. All I asked was for them to make it right, as it was sold to me like this, unsafe.
