Suburban Buick GMC Service center

I've had my Buick serviced here for over 2 years. They are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Falcon A has been my service advisor many times. He helps me get the most out of my warranties and set a long term maintenance plan i can afford. Plus he helped me get my baby seats out of my car, into a loaner, and back again (not an easy feat). Two thumbs up.

LOL NO. Service here is three times the price of everywhere else and they take three times as long to do it. I was due for an oil change, tire rotation, and A/C recharge. I planned to go to my regular neighborhood shop, but I got a coupon in the mail for a $25 oil change and tire rotation at Suburban Buick GMC; since that was about $8 cheaper than my shop, I decided to give Suburban a shot. I'd only ever been there once before, for an airbag-recall repair. I called Suburban to ask about the cost of an A/C recharge. "$175, and it'll take about two hours." NO THANKS. My shop did it for $89, with the exact same equipment, and had it done in 23 minutes. Now I drive down to Suburban for the oil change and tire rotation. 1 hour, 45 minutes. It took them 1 hour and 45 minutes to do an oil change and tire rotation. $28 after taxes, but without the coupon, it would have been $62. That is insane. That is all insane. My regular shop would have cost me maybe $35 but would gotten me back to my life in less than 30 minutes. No apology for the wait, and in fact no recognition whatsoever that nearly two hours is a completely unreasonable duration for such a simple service. The staff I interacted with were polite and proactive, as they are at any dealership service department, and that's the only reason they get two stars instead of one. I guess their lounge is nice too, which is useful since you'll be there all damn day.
