Patrick's service department is most heads-up operation I have ever seen. Matt and Blake, the managers, can't do enough for you. Friendly, highly competent, caring.... Absolutely A+++++++++++++++++++.

I agree Blake and Matt at Patrick are great - I did not buy my car there (I'm from out of state), but I've had it there several times for service, and they always take care of me.

And yes - for me, they always provide a loaner while mine's being worked on.

I purchased my MCS from Patrick and they were great. I live closer to Bill Jacob's and have been taking the car there for service. Would have to rate the service department just average. I think I'll have to head on up to Patrick and see how their service is.

Thumbs down on Patrick service

I posted this on another thread...

I just went through my first year maintenance experience with Patrick. I don't know if I'll go back.
A couple of weeks before I went in, I started having a slow leak problem with one of my tires. I told the service desk about it and they said they'd check it out. After rotating my tires, I was told that it was a calibration issue and it was corrected. Excuse me, I have a tire that's loosing pressure and it's a calibration problem?
Needless to say a day later that same tire was low. When I took it to Firestone, I was told that the tire had a nail in it and it was pretty obvious. They also noticed that my other tires were way overinflated. What the...
Patrick "service": lazy, incompetent or both?!?!

If you go to Bill Jacobs be prepared for them to be A**holes to you. And they also promised a spare key when I bought mine and just to call back. And I did and they said they had to record of it.
