I have bought 5 vehicle from this dealership and I think that Lake Keowee C-D is the best place to buy a vehicle. They will always go the extra mile to make sure you are treated right the first time! My salesman, Joe Landingham, is the very best at what he does. He will always make sure you are getting the best deal possible!!!

I purchased both a new Dodge Ram Quad Cab Hemi pickup, and a Dodge Caravan on Labor day 2004. The DVD player in the van never worked correctly, and both sales and service have been horrendous - to the point of ridiculous. As of today, over a year after purchase, the DVD player still doesn't work right - after several service trips, different players (every one the wrong part - after being assured they "finally have the right part this time!"), and today the same thing happened. They don't return phone calls when promised. I've been lied to by them. I wouldn't want my enemies to buy from Lake Keowee Dodge.

I was looking for a specific car and Jerry and Adarius went out of their way to find it for me. Once the car was found, we handled all the paperwork over the phone and via fax for I was having to come from Illinois and drive the car back. When I arrived at the dealership, Adarius had all the paperwork ready for signature and the car gassed up and ready to go. I was in and out of the dealership in less than 2 hours. Thank you Jerry and Adarius for all your hard work!

I bought my 2003 Dodge Neon in August 2003 from Lake Keowee. I had bad credit. We decided to put the car in my aunt's name who is disabled and cannot work! They lied on the application saying she brought home more than she actually did. I know this for a fact b/c my sister's ex-husband was the manager and he told them to do it that way. It was dishonest and if they lied about that, what else are they lying about...??

Buyer beware "John Whitsel" needed to be escorted off the premises by the police, and continuously keeps coming back for free car washes when ever he feels like it (for the record he didn't buy the vehicle)...so buyer beware of what people say about auto dealerships. Double standards (John boy) has in life aren't what we promote in the real world. Thank You and Don't Make A Mistake Shop The Lake....Jerry Janninck and for the record the vehicle we brought in for the Whitsel's was sold long ago. Thank You for your business Mr & Mrs. Daniel Wolski enjoy the new car!!!

Bad deal with Jerry the General Manager; Will make the deal and then add money to it in the loan papers. Watch out for him, Jerry is a crook and states that the owner only fronts the money, he does all the ownership business. Do not buy here if you want the best deal because you think you are getting it and they change the papers. Owner is Walter Medina and is amazingly absent when a problem arises. The car they brought for me from Columbia is still sitting at the dealership because of the lies.

The truck I bought was taken right off the lot. The dealership had to order some aftermarket MOPAR accessories to install as agreed upon when I purchased the vehicle. I returned the vehicle to have them installed and have the truck cleaned up. When I finally got the truck back, it WAS NOT clean (there was mud on the carpet) AND the bug guard that was on the truck was missing). I had to wait for them to "re-vacuum" the carpet. The truck was still dirty (like it had been sent through a bad carwash.

My experience was awful. Only 3 months after purchasing the car did the engine need to be replaced. It took almost 2 weeks to get my car back. No calls were ever made to keep me updated on what was going on with my car. It was really bad. I had to call constantly to find out what was really going on. Not only was the service a problem, but these guys had the audacity to lie on the application for a car loan by saying that my wife was actually working. We figured this out when the bank trying to finance our car called wanting to know why we had given a bogus work number. It has been an awful experience that I do not ever want to go through again. Beware!!!!

I viewed several dealers' inventory online, and emailed 3 in my area with the following conditions:
1) I wanted an out-the-door quote (each dealer had a specific truck I would consider), complete with all internal and external costs, including taxes and a new tag.
2) If there were any undisclosed costs I would walk out.
All three responded by the next day. I made plans to visit on the weekend, and contacted all three to say I would call by cell when I was actually on the way to their respective dealerships. The internet salesman (Darrell) was waiting for me as I drove up. After a trial drive in a Ram quad cab, we went to his office. After some discussion, he brought in the owner and he reduced the price a bit and agreed to install a factory bedliner at his cost. By the time we were done, after all rebates were figured, I bought that truck for over 6 grand off list. Darrell was polite and low-key through-out the entire process, as was the dealership owner during final discussions. Free oil changes and washes for a year, too. Don't know what their service department is like, but I would consider buying from these folks again. Just make sure your salesman is there when you go back to pay for your vehicle: when I showed up to pay for mine, nobody seemed to know what to do with me (Darrell was off that day). There was some confusion about the reduced price on the bedliner; however, Darrell took care of that the next day.
