Napelton Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Clermont FL Napelton, Napelton CJD, Napelton Clermont Shoddy repair work, unprofessional, rude people. Clermont Florida

I brought my 07 P/T Cruiser into Napelton in Clermont because it would NOT go over 45 MPH. The service department called me back a few days later, saying that the car needed a new engine, and it was covered under the Lifetime Powertrain Warranty. I was told I would have no expense, since the repair was covered.

Two weeks go by and I hear nothing. Then, I get a call from Napelton saying I owe them a $430.00 diagnostic fee. I conferenced the call with a Chrysler corporate representative and CONFIRMED that the diagnostic fee was covered for warranty repairs.

Still, I was told by Napelton that I had to pay $430.00, because - and get this - the technician doing the repair is "getting frustrated!" Strange, so I told them I would come down to talk with them.

I was treated with great disrespect all through this encounter with Napelton. Just treated very rudely.

Come to find out, Napelton said that the engine rebuild did NOT fix the problem. They said 3 bad sensors had to be replaced, for a final bill due of close to $900.00. THEY WENT AHEAD AND DID THE REPAIR WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE OR AUTHORIZATION!

That's right, even though I signed a legal document REQUIRING THEM to get my authorization for any repair over $150.00, they went ahead and put the parts on WITHOUT EVEN CALLING ME.

Now, I am not saying the price was unfair for the work. The problem was that I did NOT have the money to pay them! HAD THEY CALLED ME, LIKE THEY SHOULD HAVE, I would have told them DO NOT perform the sensor repairs NOW, I will come back later WHEN I CAN PAY.

The service department then TOOK THE SENSORS OFF THE CAR before returning it to me. They admitted they did not call, but offered NO CUSTOMER APPEASEMENT.

Napelton treated me very poorly, but it went beyond that. Read on:

1) When I brought my car into the dealer, I had an almost NEW battery. When I got home, I saw they STOLE my battery and put in an old junk battery.

2) When I brought the car in, the A/C was working fine. Now it is NOT.

3) When I brought my car in, the hydraulic lifts for the tailgate were fine. When I opened the tailgate a week after I got the car back, the hydraulics would NOT hold up the tailgate. I could plainly see that, instead of the bright black hydraulics I was used to seeing on the car, there were old, faded gray hydraulics there. Napelton STOLE my good hydraulics and put on worn out ones.

They did this SABOTAGE probably out of spite and hatred toward me, the customer who did NOTHING WRONG. You'd think they would appreciate the customers who keep them in business. They don't, they are rude, aggressive, and dishonest people. Quite frankly, any person who acted as they did toward a customer has serious mental problems.

The point is, if you want your repair work done correctly, do NOT take it to ANY NAPELTON dealer. Don't buy a car from them, they do NOT deserve your business.
