I decided it was time for a new vehicle and after doing some searching online I wanted to check out a Grand Cherokee L.We went into Thelen and Jake was more than willing to help us out! He showed us multiple different vehicles and when we didn’t find one we loved he sat down and helped us order one. He explained everything to us As we built it and helped us pick the perfect vehicle for us.He said it would take about 6-8 weeks to come in, updating me throughout the entire process, and it came in 4 weeks instead of the 6-8!It hit the dealership on Monday 8-23, and I brought it home tonight 8-26!He texted and called me, as well as the bank to get everything in order and made the whole process completely painless!Cynthia, the finance manager was also amazing in explaining everything as we went through all the paperwork!I would recommend Thelen; and Jake Fink to anyone looking to make their car buying experience a breeze!
I recently purchased a Hellcat from Thelen Dodge. My experience there I must admit was excellent. I had the pleasure of meeting Travis the sales representative that handled everything for me. I told him that I was interested in purchasing a Hellcat. I knew there wasnt any on the lot. I was told that I could order one, but it would take about 8-12 weeks to get the car.So I left a deposit and was waiting when I went in again to ask if there were any Hellcats that had come? I was in luck, they just got in a practically new one with all of the options on it. It was a blue that was no longer made, so immediately I was interested. Travis took me to the other garage where they had kept the Hellcat locked up so no one would do damage or even sit in it. It was a prized vehicle, which is not available in that color.Again, I went and looked at it and wide body with a moon roof on it. I had to have this car. I waited just a short time to get it. I purchased this hard to get car and I am extremely pleased as the car does everything it says it can do.Travis handled all the paperwork and I purchased the Hellcat that day! All the staff were in awe of the car as it is a show piece for sure. All the staff including the ladies that handled the paperwork of getting is registered for me. They handled everything and I drove home the car of my car. It is for sure a mans dream car, just like a trophy wife. LOL!I strongly encourage anyone to go to Thelen Dodge as all the staff are very helpful and professional.This is surreal as I wasnt expecting to get this car so soon. Especially on such short notice.Thanks for Thelen Dodge and Travis and all the staff who were so friendly.Gary
Lynn worked very well with me along with her associates. I did not have much of an idea on exactly what vehicle would fit my lifestyle and with Lynns guidance and professionalism we found a vehicle I am beyond pleased to call mine with my children being extremely happy as well. Having bad luck with vehicles in the past I Think Thelen broke that curse. Everyone is happy, such a beautiful purchase! Thank you once again Lynn for being such an awesome and warming representative, you helped me feel very comfortable through the entire process as well :)
I recently purchased a Jeep earlier this year from a family friend on the East side of the state. While in town, I got my oil changed here and a whole inspection was done on my car. Everyone at the facility was so unbelievably helpful and kind. They were very knowledgeable about additional parts I could add to my roof for racks as well. I live in Grand Rapids for work, but I make it a point to drive back to this location to get my oil changed. They know me, my car, and can answer ANY and ALL questions I have. I can’t give them enough praise!
Nice and quick. Thelen does need to get the website corrected as I did all the work of setting up a time and explaining what was needed on their on line ap. and as I called them to verify prior to going they knew nothing of my scheduled appointment. I then had to explain everything a second time to the young lady working in service. The ap was good for saving time if it worked properly.
Very helpful staff and good customer service. Took no time at all for an oil change and tire rotation and complete check over. Professional service all around.
Customer service was great! Express lane always makes sure to get everything taken care of! Over all best place to take your car or truck for any of your needs.
Went in for a minor repair and Ashley took very good care of it for me. It took longer than I expected, but it was explained why. No problem and would recommend the service department with no hesitation.
I’ve been having issues with my battery terminal. Today I drove up unsure if that was something that could be fixed through the express lane or not. Unfortunately it couldn’t but Cody went out of his way to see if a tech was available to help me. I am so f*cking grateful for Cody and Mike for squeezing me in and taking care of the issue quickly. I’ve been here before and will continue to return, they make sure to go above and beyond. again THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Excellent dealership. Travis was great and very helpful in selecting a vehicle that fit my needs and the finance team hit a home run securing me an excellent interest rate on a used vehicle. Will definitely go back in the future.
Thelen is the absolute best to deal with as far as parts, body shop and service. I have only dealt with those departments and they did everything I needed without any problem and were so laid back and easy to deal with! They kept me posted and the jobs were completed on time as they had promised. I continue to be amazed at how they make it so easy! Thank you!
I took my 2016 Ram into Thelen because I was having issues with the automatic leveling system always working whether the truck was running or not and draining my battery. After 2 days of having my truck, they couldnt find anything wrong and did an 80.00 computer upgrade and said that should work. Two days later my battery was dead and Im still having the same issue.
I went to Thelen to have my new soft top installed on my Jeep. It was done within a couple of hours. When I picked it up I asked if someone could show me how it works and the salesman was nice enough to help me out and show me how it’s done. Excellent service!
Great experience at Thelens Service Department. Went in for Oil change was promptly greeted and taken care of. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable and went over spec sheet with me. Would highly recommend them anytime
After 5 attempts to locate and resolve the issue with my vehicle the problem was finally fixed. I give you 2 stars because the person that took my intake was nice other than that you would have received 0 stars. A lot if time, gas and patients wasted.
Great service. Mikaela was awesome. I was 900 miles from home, they got me right in, diagnosed the problem and fixed it quickly. Highly recommended. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I went into Thelen to get an oil change and as always it was a pleasure able experience. I do think I was treated with great customer service and didnt take to long for my oil change and tire rotation. There was one problem to get a oil service plan and I had to call MOPAR and talk to a sales person to purchase one. The number I was given from the dealership was not right and had to look it up on my phone. In the end was able to purchase that service plan and get confirmation number to the service technician and be on my way for under 45mins.
Cody in service is amazing! Got us in and out so fast. Very friendly and are efficient! Highly recommend!
Great customer service and value on vehicles. Ive gotten vehicles maintained here since 2009, and Ive purchased three different vehicles through Thelen. I would never go anywhere else. Great support before, during, and after the sale.
Travis did a great job both pre sale and post sale. highly recommend thelen. Sales AND service.
Brand new Jeep with most warning lights on at our dash. They were able to tell us it was either a brake problem or the electrical systems. Not willing to even solve this issue until 2 weeks out. Not happy with this
Great service. Travis had the answers to all my questions. He also helped me get the truck I was searching for.
Fast and friendly service. Warranty repair and I was treated as well as paying customers. I will recommend this service. Thank you.
Everyone was so friendly, told me everything going on with my car so I would understand. I’m so happy with the service, thank you guys so much. I will recommend. :)
Great staff all around! I worked with Mike in sales he got me in my awesome 2019 RAM 3500. Definitely recommend this dealer!
Always courteous and helpful. Usually get things done right away. Easy to schedule otherwise
The car buying process was very smooth and simple. No surprises, all laid out very clear. Thank you Mike Ryal for the great service
Thelen was wonderful to work with.The sales reps were prompt, friendly and thorough in their assessment of my vehicle.The communication between the dealership and myself I couldnt have been better.I would definitely work with them again in the future!
Had oil change and tire rotation. Wait time was short and check in guy was very pleasant and friendly. Will return for future service.
Went in for an oil change and was told I have a small oil leak on a 2019 Jeep. Asked them to take care of it but was told I need an appointment so now I have to go back for the repair. I was unaware that all the techs are not certified and if you need anything done besides an oil change you need to book an appointment. I called the day prior and tried to book an appointment and was told to just come in because its first come first serve so I really dont understand how things work there I guess.
Travis was once again a great person to work with. I purchased a Jeep from him a few years ago and now Ram truck. Everything went really smoothly. In fact after the sale was done I mentioned I wanted to get side steps and a grill guard and he offered to set up the installation for me. I didnt have to do a thing. Talk about service after the sale! Thanks for a great sales experience.
Offered me less for my vehicle turn in than it was worth and said nobody would give me a better deal credit wise on a car than through them.Then flat out said they couldnt get any bank to help me when applying for a loan.Went somewhere else and got a nice 2018 for less than they wanted here and from a bank that was with this dealership that they said had denied me.
Sonia & Nicole were amazing to work with, I never felt like I burden even though I probably was (haha) I’m extremely greatful for them and the whole team fixing my car
The van works well. I have only had it about 22 hours so once my son gets it he call let me know more. Im just sorry that Mikayla had to lose her job. 😥
Excellent service. We can not thank Lynn and Scott enough for all of thier help getting our soft top and running boards installed. Thank you to all the Thelen staff that helped out. We will see you again.
The people are great! The carwash and waiting room have a lot to be desired. Maybe put a little effort into making the customers comfortable and to get a clean car, not just a wet one when getting it washed. Ive been going here for years and everything thing else changed for the better except those 2 things... take a gander at Labadie and Hagen.
I am always greeted with friendly knowledgeable staff at Thelen.I went in for an Oil change and tire rotation, as I tidied up my front seat (or office), the lady said to me, “Don’t bother with that, We don’t judge!”That in itself gave me a calmness in a hectic day. Timely service, and thorough explanation of their findings of my car and when to expect having to get new brake shoes, or tires in the future is greatly appreciated so I could plan for it down the road.Thelen is Highly recommend!
My first time dealing with anyone from Thelen team was on my first Jeep jamboree very pleasant so I decided to give them a shot with my Jeep and to say the least I’m still very happy I decided to give them a shot .Keep It fun ( JEEP IT )
My wife found her next Van at Thelen in Bay City. After looking for a very long time and meeting many unworthy “used car” types we were blessed to to introduced to Alan Young. Alan answered our questions and asked how he could help. We appreciate that he did not use any “just make the sale” techniques like- asking us questions early on that he could then use against us if we declined to buy. Everyone at the Thelen team was helpful and had smiles on their faces. We bought here because the service and attention to detail left no other choice. Thanks again Alan.
Great place, service manager was great, mechanic was great, I will be back.
Every aspect of my buying experience was WONDERFUL!!! The time that was taken to hear my wishes, the courtesy and professionalism of the salesperson, and the speed with which I was provided a new vehicle were all above and beyond what I had expected.
Id rate the entire process as outstanding. They handled the repairs and interface with the insurance quickly and were very friendly.Truck was repaired one day early and repairs and paint were a match to the original as the color is a deep red pearl color.Very happy with the entire process.
This is our 2nd new vehicle purchase in the last year and we have had nothing but great experiences with Travis at Thelen. Looking forward to another great experience for our daughters vehicle in the future. If you are looking for a person that is easy to work with and looking out for your best interest I would suggest asking for Travis, when you get therethanks again Thelen !!!
Always friendly, never left feeling like my car wasnt taken care of
CJ is a great salesman to work with. Thank you for working for us. We are very happy with our Jeep. Absolutely love it!
Travis and Cynthia were both above and beyond in making my first experience with Thelen the best it could be . The whole crew deserves props as you can see they enjoy there jobs and you can feel that when you enter there show room .
I called early in the week to schedule an appt. I chose this dealership because this is where my van was purchased. I explained the sound I was hearing from my 2017 Dodge caravan. I arrived for my scheduled appt with my six week old baby and went to sit in the waiting room. After an hour of waiting I decided to call and see what was happening. The girl came to me and explained everything that needed to be done, the cost of $1500 and that it would take 4-5 hours to complete. They wouldn’t give me a car to drive home, but they did offer me a ride. I got home, 4 hours later they called stating my van was done and offered to bring it to my house. After my van was delivered I went for a drive and the first parking lot I drove into I heard the same sound i took it in for. The only difference I noticed with my vehicle was an alignment (a less than $100 service) I called explained my frustrations and was asked to bring my vehicle in on Monday to see what can be done.I’m now out the $1500 spent and the issue isn’t fixed.
Jake was excellent. He answered all our questions and walked us through all the features on our new Cherokee.
The staff at Thelen CJDR were great! From the time i spoke to Mike on the phone and pit together a deal and applied for a loan on the car it was painless. Once i got there after Driving 5 hours from indiana i was only there for 25 minutes max! I would recommend this dealer to anyone looking for a car.
Thelen helped me through every step of the way. Thank you for getting me a vehicle that I will enjoy for many years to come!
Great experience !! Amazing diesel mechanic... Was able to get us right in also... And took the time to show us the problem.. and fixed more then we took it in for .. finding unknown issues.. will not use anywhere else for our new 2017 cummins 3500 !!Five stars for sure !!Thanks coty and john !!
Just recently leased a new Jeep Grand Cherokee from @Thelen Chrysler Jeep Dodge. My sales consultant was @Travis Fletcher who was fantastic to work with and made the process extremely easy. I live in a different state and never stepped into the dealership until day of signing which took 15 minutes to complete. The entire process made my life easier with the communication from Travis, ease of negotiation, and having everything ready for when I stepped into the dealership.If your looking to purchase or lease a vehicle I highly recommend Travis and the Bay City Thelen Jeep team.
Cody was amazing! He was very professional and helpful in inspecting my Jeep. I was in and out pretty quick also!
Thank you so much to Travis Fletcher for a wonderful and stress free experience with my Jeep Cherokee lease! He helped pick out a vehicle that fit me to a T .. and the paperwork was a breeze! Customer service is exceptional, with no pressure and sincere thought of the customers satisfaction. I look forward to continuing with Thelen!
They are very friendly. And did exactly what I ask them to do. Great Service
Friendly staff. Very helpful, quick and efficient service. Would go back in the future to this business.
Travis found us exactly what we wanted within a short period of time. A deer totaled our vehicle and he was very knowledgeable about what we should expect and worked diligently to make sure we were happy. We cannot thank him enough!
I cant say enough about technician John Schwartz to and service advisor Ashley Kerr. I came in needing an alignment as soon as humanly possible so I could get on the road to bury my 15 year old nephew. I was snappy and short to Ashley and explain to her my situation I left the service shop for 40 minutes to go pack my bags came back and the alignment was performed but I needed new tie rod ends she handed me my keys and said youre good. I didnt get charged for the alignment.i needed a little faith in humanity today and this is where I found it. Ill never take any of my vehicles anywhere but here again.
Very fast, good quality visit. Nice service, person who took my vehicle took care of everything.
Tiffanie did great getting me out of a high interest older vehicle! I now have a newer vehicle for cheaper and better interest. I would highly recommend.
C.J. was great to work with. Very knowledgeable and made the process smooth. Im not one to enjoy the dealership car buying process that much however, I can say I will Find C.J. in the future.
They work fast and do great work came in last minute with a deadline and they did there best to accommodate for me! Great staff! Will be taking all my tire work to Thelen from now on. Best prices in town guaranteed!
Thelen has always been absolutely wonderful with every repair or questions i have needed. I will always recommend anyone to Cody, Ashely, Robert and Scott in the service department. Thank you all so much for what you do!
After 7 years of loyal service when they make a mistake they blame the customer. Since then I have had a hard time getting a return call and being treated horribly. Sad way to treat people for a family owned business
I dealt with cody and he was kind and respectful cares for xustomer service rhe tech didnt deal with him but got the job done and took the extra mile to try and save my big tires but failed due to me not rotating properly but glad he fixed the shaking problem i give 4 stars instead of 5 only because afrer i got my truck i had to wask greese off my truck and rims ans he forgot to put my tire caps and my hub cap bavk on and i have to go get them when i can return all an all i will be going back for future repairs when i choose a dealership to do the fixing wish i would have gotten a free car wash from them
My experience at Thelen was an excellent one!Ashley the young lady that handled my account she was compassionate, understanding, kept me up to date . Ashley did an amazing job in customer service !
I got my oil changed and tires rotated in less then a half hour on my Ram. I will be back.
Needed a replacement key. Service was quick. efficient, and service people were polite
We had a great experience buying our first Jeep at Thelen! Cynthia and Scott went above and beyond to answer our questions and make us feel comfortable!
I just recently purchased a car with Marty and he did an excellent job making sure all of my car needs were met. He walked me through the whole car buying process and I had to admit I was nervous with this being a big purchase. Marty was very professional and even went above and beyond when I had an issue. Thank you marty for making my car buying experience a good one!!
Staff is nice & friendly, excellent service too.
Great Service. I will be back!!
Working with Cynthia Bedell was a great buying experience. Got me exactly what I was looking for in a vehicle. Couldnt thank her, or Thelen, enough. Definitely would go back for future purchases and recommend them to my friends and family.
Professional, Knowledgeable, Courteous and Prompt. I was very pleased with my salesman.Mike thanks again.
They kept me apprised of the status of my jeep repair. Friendly staff
We loved the vehicle we had (Chrysler Town and Country Limited)! Unfortunately, it was totaled in an accident. Thelen was great at getting it in and estimated for damages quickly so we could get on getting another vehicle. Thanks again!
We had some recall work done at Thelen Chrysler. From the appointment phone call to the Service Dept we found the staff to be friendly and competent. I also noticed several other customers who were happy with the service they had received. Covid-19 protocol friendly too!!
The recall on my vehicle was scheduled instantly, Ashley sent me a reminder and even delivered my car back to me when it was done. The staff is amazing. Especially Ashley she went above and beyond. Thank you
This is now my the second vehicle I leased from Thelen Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram. My salesman, Scott Parker, is awesome. He is always there to answer my questions and was extremely helpful through the whole process. I highly recommend Thelen to anyone that is in the market for a new or used vehicle. Great place and everyone is very friendly.
The receptionist and sales people were perfect & the service was very high quality.
Thanks to Travis and Mike Thelen for the best experience I’ve ever had when buying a car. They were professional and made the purchase of my wrangler very enjoyable I highly recommend them if your in the market for a new vehicle!
Had to have a recall taken care of, they were friendly, fast, and even answered additional questions. Recommend them.
I went into Thelen to look for a Jeep. I was helped by a new employee, Alexus. She was wonderful! She was gracious and knew all about the vehicle I was interested in. During our interaction, she kept me informed of each choice and step I needed to go through using email, phone calls and texts.
Quick and smooth process. Travis was a tremendous help in finding exactly what we needed. Highly recommended.
Got sold a truck 2014 chevy Silverado and same day before I make it home the service lights go off! goes to show has an emission leak along with a vacuum leak near intake causing cylinder 3 to misfire! along with a bad valve spring! so far issue unresolved and been ignored drastically. not happy with the way the operate period. I traded my 2011 dodge charger R/T with no service lights, brand new tires and brakes! this company claims false truths and so do the salesman especially Michael Rayl who sold me this claiming no issues ect. they reset service light to claim its good and miles down the road guess what issues are shown. thanks for the great deal and most likely causing me to come out of pocket due to your company/maintenance and false truths. BRAVO!
Great sales and service. Cody in service was very helpful as my truck had broke down on I75 he said to have it towed there and he would take a look at it. Service fixed the problem and did the recalls without even asking and got it done quicker than expected. We were also in the market for a newer Dodge Journey and found a nice 2017 and Tiffany was very helpful making the deal with a great price. Only problem is the bottom of the front bumper is broke and all the grommets are either missing or broke the bumper is extremely loose. I hope they will resolve this issue and I will give it a 5 star.
The staff did a fantastic job. Especially Allan Young. Great value on my trade-in and a perfect new vehicle for me. Thank you!!
Great place for buying/leasing a car and for their service department!
Highly recommend Thelen.Very knowledgeable and friendly.Mike was a big help to us and recommend him if youre interested in a new car
We found the service department friendly and efficient. We made an appointment since we are only visiting Michigan for a short time.Robert was ready for me at our appointment time and wrote up the service order. We were having the front struts replaced and the rears inspected. Cody called to inform me that the rears needed to be replaced also. All four struts were pretty worn and rusty. Thats understandable since we live near the ocean. All four could not be done in one work day, so Cody offerred a loaner car. The job was done on Monday at the quoted price. They even sanitized the car. Im very happy with Thelen service.
Great people, Bought a 05 dodge van and had a few questions about it which they answered very clearly. Also getting my air bag sensor fixed as i found out there was a recall for that. Over all these people are great and very friendly and would do more business with them in the future if the time came.
The body shop was able to complete my rust repairs on my 13 year old Nitro for less than the original estimate. The repairs were excellent and the vehicle looks like new.
I was helped by Travis Fletcher and he was awesome! He helped every step of the way. I will definitely talk to Travis next time I need a new vehicle!
Cody was awesome with checking into what was needed to repair our radio. We appreciate all his work and follow up contact with us. Thanks!
I love my new Jeep Grand Cherokee! The staff at Thelen was so nice and friendly. They made it easy purchasing my new Jeep.
Had a great experience leasing a Jeep Cherokee from Travis Fletcher.He was was helpful, open and up-front in answering every question I asked, and he didnt have to get up five times to talk to his manager to come up with pricing. It was a refreshing change from trying to work with other dealerships, which Id done before going back to Thelen.I had bought a Honda from Thelen in 2008 and had a similar great experience, and with service, too. I think they just get it. Highly recommended all around.
