I got my car back after 3 weeks of sheer frustration and the inconvenience of being without a car with Cochran Hyundai of Monroeville. I dropped my car off on 8/23. The dealership service department gave me conflicting stories on what the issue was with my car. At one point the service clerk wanted to give me the part number to help with finding that piece to repair my car. How insane is THAT! They said it was no longer in production so they had to get it from an auto scrap yard in Ohio for a 2008 Azera. It took another week for them to receive it. Then I was told there was a gas leak. First story was that it was a vapor leak. Next time, my son called, the story was changed to a liquid leak and I needed a gas tank replacement. Then the story went back to it's a vapor leak. Then I was told the car was ready Wednesday 9/11/24 but no one called me. I called Friday after work to find this out. My son drove me over to pick up my car. I heard road noise coming from my trunk area on the way home. That noise was not there before dropping it off with them. My son opened the trunk and found Cochran released it to me without bolting back on the 2 metal plate gas tank covers. So the job wasn't actually finished. This has been the worst auto repair experience of my life. I've received better auto care from start to finish from smaller auto repair shops. No more dealership repairs for me.Review from Nancy T

I don’t see how you can rate them with an A+ there is no truth in advertising with this company. They are actually false advertising and admitted to it. I recently scheduled a 30,000 mile service. There are about 20 items listed on the website that are included in the 30,000 mile service. They preformed 3 of the items mostly just an oil change. I paid $570.00. When I reached out to the manager he told me the website is wrong. You don’t get all the items listed which in fact are necessary for keeping your car safe for driving. Fraudulent advertising. I will never bring my car to this service center again after 20 some years as a customer. When I checked the oil the next morning after sitting in the garage, the oil looked dirty. I think I paid $570. for a car wash. Of course the manager will not refund my money but said he will give me a free cabin filter installation which was included in the 30,000 mile service on the website but he said that it is not. Unscrupulous business. Buyer beware! And I suggest the BBB review this business. The rating is misleading.#1 Cochran Automotive Response

They kept our car for a month plus, did not provide a loaner until after we had to rent a car for a week, and did not communicate with us in any meaningful way. Loaner was obtained after escalated phone call to one of the company directors, who told us "one was coming back that day" and then they just pulled a car off the lot to placate us. We have a 2011 GMC Terrain that has some issues. They did things to it, but many of the issues are persisting. They were unresponsive when we let them know that the check engine light was still coming on and that the issues are continuing. We paid $2600 plus the $500 car rental and got almost nothing for it. They do not care about their customers and they do not think outside of the box in any way when trying to find solutions to automotive repair issues. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY LIKE WE DID.#1 Cochran Automotive Response

This is for Cochran ************* Pa.Mr Rob Cochran I did not realize that your company was flush with cash to be able to treat your Service Customers in such a manner to call them a name annoying yes your manager **** used that name for myself and my wife. These are the three people on July 5th that I came in contact with . ****************** and *****. I made an appt for an intermittent noise that was occurring on the drivers side. 6 hours later I had not received an update, so I started reaching out - no one would pick up the phone. It took me over 20 minutes to speak to someone only to be put on hold and dumped into a voicemail box. After that another hour for a call back- so that was over 7 hours without receiving an update. When **** finally called back he said that they were not able to duplicate the noise and admitted that it was only run around in the back gravel lot. When I arrived back to the dealership to pick up my car- I asked for the video of the diagnostic because, **** did not instill any confidence that any real effort was put in to find the problem, the did not video the diagnostic as required. I asked why he did not reach out sooner he said he was busy with paperwork. On my way home the noise occurred again I called the dealership and spoke to **** he advised no one wanted to talk with me because I was annoying and that we can not use a recording of the noise he was sure that the noise was not a big deal, he also said I was welcome to take my vehicle somewhere else. You will find no documentation that this visit occurred because they did not write it up. I only have the key tag number from when they initially took the vehicle in. WOW- never have I experienced such dismissive, rude, uncaring treatment. Clearly you do not need my vehicle business in service or future purchases because you have people working for you like this, who drives everyone away. I WILL NEVER BE BACK. and I am telling everyone I know, every chance I get.Review from Michael D

Went to the dealership for one specific issue. They took it upon themselves to go over the entire vehicle and say thst there is ***** in repairs such as 4 whell drive was broke had it checked by another mechanic it's fine had new exhaust done they told me it was bad wrong agsin. They also did this to someone I am close to so that they can scare u into a new vehicle telling u it's unsafe to drive when infact it's a false statement so be ***** with them like I said they said ***** and my other mechanic checked all the stuff the said it 300 in parts and 1000 in labor they are scamming artists.#1 Cochran Automotive Response

They advertise loaner vehicles. I’ve made a call and was informed they had them which prompted me to schedule an appointment for them to say they don’t give loaner cars . This is stated all over their website and through workers

I purchased a 2018 ****** Rogue in 2021 as a Certified Preowned Vehicle. November 2023, car wouldn't start - got a new battery from AAA but problem persisted. Had alternator checked at ***** who stated not the issue and go to dealer. Dealer kept car for three days, never fixed the problem but suggested it could be battery terminal. This was the only time I spoke with him as he would only communicate via text. Finally got car back $285 out my pocket and he was no where to be found to explain what was going on. Complained to service area who claimed their manager takes these things seriously but have yet to hear from them. Complained to salesman who stated, "this has happened before" so apparently not important enough to correct. Now March 2024 problem has reared its ugly head again and I now have to try and get resolved again. Not to mention I had purchased extended warranty but mechanic (****) never looked into or discussed with me. Will never purchase an automobile from them again and have heard Cochran is horrible to deal with once you purchase car.#1 Cochran Automotive Response

Beware of these people. Bought a 2019 dodge ram, used. Also got a bumper to bumper warranty. Took truck in for inspection, needs front struts at a price tag of 1600, of course warranty wont cover. Truck only has ****** miles. **** a lawyer to read fine print. Warranty cost almost 2000.******** said covers everything even head lights, sure. Think long and hard before dealing with these guys, read some of the other reviews!#1 Cochran Automotive Response

Purchased a 2015 yukon Denali from#1 cochran gmc in Monroeville a few months back! Sun roof leaks , they keep saying they tested it and it doesnt when theres and whole forum concerning this issue! Also transmission is shifting oddly that showed me a video of the fluid being black but they say its not burnt! They claim the transmission needs updates and transmission flush! i asked why wasnt that done before they sold the vehicle! the response i got was that the transmission fluid got that dark in the 10,000 miles that ive used it! I have purchased from alot of dealers and #1 cochran is by far the worst! i would not recommend buying a anything from there or using the service department! Tried calling the Management and they dont answer or respond to voicemail!! If anyone knows and attorney please recommend!#1 Cochran Automotive Response
