It took 2 weeks longer than expected to get my vehicle fixed. Originally I didn’t even get a loaner originally. It wasn’t until I was promised a car for Christmas and then it wasn’t done then either that I was given a loaner for the additional week. However, Tammy in service was amazing trying her best to communicate what was going on. It was not her fault the company can not get parts in when they say they will.

Great experience. Friendly sales people, Clean facility. Vehicle was brought to to look over. Drove and handled great. Chad was nice and helped us answering our questions. Chad took plenty of time explaining the technical side of the car and showed us how to use it.

Clayton Halterman was absolutely fantastic to work with. I had totaled our family car,and with multiple children we needed a new one! Clayton was very patient while we waited for our insurance payout. End of October,we had went and looked at a 2019 Suburban. It had some scratches that we didn't care for, so my boyfriend actually went to turn away and Clayton came out and talked with him and was happy to see if they could fix that. And they did,he stuck to his word and so did Dan Hecht! 100% recommend him as your salesman,he was easy to communicate with and kept us updated every step of the way. John E. also made the signing process really easy and explained everything with great detail. We had a great experience with Dan Hecht Chevrolet Toyota!

Showed up early for appointment. Was informed we’re short handed and might be longer. Understandable with holiday. But when service was done 1 1/2 hours later was preparing to pay bill and found didn’t do all work had appointment for and by that time I had another place to be. Was also asked about service on Saturday and that is my only free day.
