Szott M-59 Chrysler Jeep

I live in CA and could barely get a good deal on a Rubicon. I was interested in an AEV turnkey vehicle. Contacted Jeff over at Szott and he got me a fair deal. In addition, Jeff has always been available to answer questions and is extremely knowledgeable about Jeeps and specifically AEV. He provided excellent support throughout the whole process of ordering a JK Rubicon from the the factory and it’s completion as an AEV JK350. It was recently delivered to LA in great condition and I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend Szott and Jeff specifically if you’re ordering a car, especially an AEV vehicle.

A fantastic dealership!
I had leased a Chrysler 200 from them. The salesman Tom was easy going and no pressure and very thorough and patient.
They delivered my car to my office and even picked it up for my complimentary fray oil change.
You can’t ask for better service and culture than Szott. Did I mention how fun their showroom is?
I Highly highly recommend this great dealership!

BEWARE! I purchased a vehicle from here a couple of years ago (the first vehicle I’ve purchased on my own) and realized some unscrupulous things on my retail contract just recently when I was taught a couple of things…
I was charged a few hundred extra bucks by their finance manager for misc charges and accessories. This is highly illegal and the dealership can be fined HEAVILY and that manager can even face jail time of up to 5 years for this!!! It’s called stuffing the deal at some dealerships and they got me!
I’m going to be looking into how I can get this fixed by enforcing legal action because I’m sure I’m not the only one that’s fallen victim to these practices!
It’s easy to see where the extra money came from to get that beautiful rebuild done…
To be continued…

Best experience leasing a car in last 30 years. Thad Szott runs an honest, hard working business.

Let’s face it; getting a car can be daunting. There are so many factors that go into making the right choice, especially for someone who hasn’t owned a car in 10 years (living in Chicago, you don’t really need one). When we decided to move back to Michigan, we knew we needed a car and we knew our first choice of where to get it — Szott M-​59 Chrysler Jeep dealership.
Dave Rose, our rock star of a salesman, couldn’t have been more helpful, patient, and fun to work with. He was so professional and really listened to what we were looking for in a Jeep.
He went above and beyond, taking time out of his day to make us feel important. We could tell he really cared. He answered every question we had so thoroughly and with such articulation, we knew exactly what we were getting.
He took time to make sure we knew how the car worked down to every detail, including setting up our cell phones to work with the car so we’re able to take calls through the car stereo.
Friendly and knowledgeable, courteous and caring, Dave Rose couldn’t have made getting a car easier and more fun!
Thanks Dave Rose, we’ll be recommending you to everyone we know!!!

I bought my last Wrangler from Szott. The sales and service here are the reason why I drove about 30 miles longer than I had to instead of going to a number of closer Jeep dealerships. Velkey actually goes on Jeep trips. Ralph is a honest mechanic that knows his stuff. This is everything a dealership should be.

Took my van to szott for repairs after having no luck and a terrible experience at Golling. Even though the diagnoses of the repairs was not what I wanted, the service adviser Ralph made me feel appreciated and had a great attitude, he made sure I was happy as possible before I left the dealership. He single handed made me a future customer of szott and has proven to me that real customer services still exists! I appreciate his thoughtfulness and the way he treated me, szott is lucky to have such an awesome employee and should be grateful for his 13+ years of service.
Thank you Ralph

Just leased my new Jeep Grand Cherokee from Szott and love it! My salesman was Brad and he was awesome! He understood what I wanted and what I could afford and delivered in every way I had hoped. Buying cars is stressful and can be a long drawn out process but he made it easy and fun for me. I got the perfect vehicle and the price was better than what I was currently paying. They didn’t have the Jeep on site so I had to wait a day but Brad brought it to me at work the very next day… what more could someone ask for!
I’ll definitely be buying all my cars from Brad W and will recommend him to all my friends and family!!!

Personally I would look some where else for your jeep

I appreciate Ralph Ridings honesty and help. I came in on a Saturday and he took the time and effort to educate me about what needed to be fixed on my JK. He is a Jeep owner as well so he knows what he is talking about. Thanks Ralph!

I am a return Chrysler/​Jeep purchaser, I recommend Szott Chrysler Jeep Sales Team. Go there and ask for Kyle or Jake. These guys will do everything they can to get you in the vehicle you want and for the price you want. In the past, dealers have tried to push other vehicles for whatever reason. These guys didn’t even try that game. They showed me the Jeep I wanted and helped me get the options and payments I needed. Jake and Kyle make a good team. Thanks for everything guys.

Brian Velkey, new car sales rep, helped me build a custom Unlimited Wrangler two years back. He didn’t try to oversell or push me into a model that was above my means.
I think most people might get bored, tired of or just not care about their car after a couple years but for me driving in my jeep is still a fresh, fun, and exciting new experience every time I go for a ride.
I also couldn’t of done it without the help of Lori Barcelli, the finance manager. She helped me get the loan and an affordable interest rate.
I know wrangler owners love to customize their jeeps and I haven’t done much except new tires and rims. I was researching off road tires and new rims and then spoke to Brian while I was getting an oil change he ended up hooking me up with some brand new tires and rims for an unbeatable price. I mean cheaper than craigslist prices lol and to think that was the installed price from the dealer. Wow.
Thanks,
Danny

Service team is pretty decent. That will be the only reason they are getting two stars.
Sales are awful. I had a very bad experience in 2000 where I was looking for a Jeep Grand Cherokee but the sales guy was pushing a 4 cylinder sedan instead. When I got upset about it, they told me that I didn’t deserve a Grand Cherokee. I told them I would buy from someone else. I went to the Jeep Dealer in Auburnhills and got a New Grand Cherokee with lower payments than that little 4 cylinder! Since then I have purchased 5 other jeep vehicles. NONE from this place. I’ll drive out to the Palace any day than buy anything from these people.

Terrible service!!! I bought my first car through them and my tabs were due to expire three weeks after the purchase date, unbeknown to me, and they told me they took care of everything. They transferred plates without renewing and neglected to inform me about the impending expiration. The sales representative, Tom Reese, did not mention he could renew my plates and I just got pulled over and received a ticket for expired plates. I called to inquire and rather than any offers of help, I received a rude customer service rep, Autumn, who even took the lord’s name in vain while on the phone. I told her she was being rude and she responded with «Oh my god!» in an even more disrespectful tone. They tried to take advantage of me and rather than being nice and offering a solution I’m willing to pay for, they act as if I’m a nuisance. Once you buy the car, they don’t care!

Purchased our 2007 Town and Country from Szott. Unfortunately don’t remember the salesman’s name, but the transaction was flawless with NO pressure.
This review deals with the service dept. We’ve driven from Huntington Woods to Szott because of the quality of work done on our vehicle, and the trust which has been established. We experienced extremely poor service from a couple other dealerships prior to using Szott, and sort of started there with chips on our shoulders. But every visit there has been great! Everything is explained thoroughly with costs upfront. My husband was in the auto business, so is very aware of what needs to be done with the vehicle, and has found that Szott has been right on the mark, and has never attempted to do things not necessary (as other dealers have attempted).
We have also used their body shop to repair a large crease in the rear hatch. They did a great job with the repair (would never know there had been a problem — paint matched flawlessly), and worked well with our insurance company.
We highly recommend asking for Ralph in the service department. Knowledgable, honest, and just great to deal with. He is a large part in what keeps us coming back,

I bought my Patriot there and I also take it there for oil changes. While I can’t recall the name of the salesman I worked with, he wasn’t too pushy and I liked him.
They are always fast with the oil changes in the service department. There was only one time I had to wait for more than 20 mins, and they were totally up front with me about the wait time when I first got there. Last time I went, I didn’t have to pay because they said I had a free oil change on my account. I’m not sure how that happened, but it was a very pleasant surprise.

Ask for Brian Velkey (sp?).
I was referred by a friend who works for a local company called AEV. American Expedition Vehicles, all they do is pimp out Jeep Wranglers, so you know he’s gotta have the hookup.
They send all of their business to Brian, so he gives the best prices around… I checked 3 different places, and he was $ 55 and $ 60 PER MONTH cheaper than the other two!
On top of that, he’s gone over and above doing everything he promised and he’s like the «go-​to-​guy» in the Wrangler business. He knows everything about everything to do with Wranglers.
Nothing but good things to say.
