When You Have Chevrolet Complaints With Individual Dealerships

Is it possible that the vehicle you bought is a lemon? You might have a claim under applicable lemon laws if the dealership tried to fix a problem, and even after 30 or more days in the shop, the issue persists. Typically, a dealership might give you your money back, replace the vehicle, or buy you out.

If you believe that a salesperson, finance specialist, or service department manager did not treat you right, you have the option of addressing your with the dealership's manager. When you do not have the time to connect with this individual by phone, you can email the dealership. The last resort in the case of connecting online with this particular dealership is to leave an honest review. At this time, there are three options.

  1. Leave a review on Cars.
  2. Review the dealership with DealerRater.
  3. Place a complaint with the Better Business Bureau.

Besides that, the company is under no obligation to deal with a watchdog. That said, some consumers have had success with radio or TV shows.

Filing Chevrolet Complaints Against the Company

The dealership or corporate office has failed to take your Chevrolet complaints seriously. You are now looking to third parties to help you get satisfaction. For example, you could file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Another option is to connect with your state's Department of Consumer Affairs. One of its offices is the Bureau of Automotive Repair, which can help you when the problem you are having has to do with vehicle repairs.

Taking Chevrolet to Small Claims Court

When neither the Chevrolet complaints department nor third-party agencies can help you resolve the issue you are having, it may be time to take the dealership to small claims court. This is typically a last resort option because it means that you will spend time and money on getting help.

Small claims court is an option when the dollar value of your complaint is around $5,000 or so. Check with your county's court system to find out where the small claims court in your jurisdiction is located. Next, download the applicable forms, fill them out, attach supporting evidence, and file them. There is typically a filing fee. Next, you need to inform the company of your filing. Consumers frequently hire a process server to put the business on notice.

The court will set a date, and you need to attend. Failure to attend is an automatic loss.
