I went to Champion without a reservation time to get a front end alignment. I was not in a hurry for it to be done, expecting to wait for a couple of days for the work to be done. Jay, the service manager, was a very nice guy and hustled to find out when my work would be performed. Jay told me that my vehicle would be ready the next day. My vehicle was ready by 10:00 a.m. That is much quicker than I has anticipated. I am very happy with Jay, and the Champion service team.

Champion Chevrolet has consistently taken excellent care of my fleet vehicle over the years. I drive a Chevy Traverse, and their service team truly knows what they’re doing — they are the experts I trust every time I need work done. What really sets Champion Chevrolet apart, though, is the people. Tony and Jay are the faces you see when you come in for service, and despite how busy they are, they always take the time to make the experience personal. I’ve been coming here for several years now, and they know me well — often asking about my kids, family, and sports. That kind of care and consistency means a lot. Amanda handles scheduling my service appointments and is always incredibly pleasant to work with. She’s patient, kind, and so helpful when I’m trying to juggle service times around a busy schedule. A big shout-out to Tony, Jay, and Amanda — they are the reason Champion Chevrolet continues to be my go-to. Highly recommend this team to anyone looking for reliable service and people who truly care.

I purchased a car from Champion Chevrolet of Lagrange in 2021. Since that time I have always taken it back to the dealership for service and repairs. Jay does a great job of staying in touch and connected during any service or repair. Communication is always the key!

Jay is personable and genuinely helpful. He took the time to listen to my concerns and provided clear, actionable follow-up. I truly appreciate his kind spirit and the way he spoke to me, not at me. His approach made the entire experience much more comfortable and reassuring. I will continue to ask for him every time I come.

Every aspect of your automotive needs are covered. All a class act all the way. Wouldn’t ever want to go anywhere else. They all treat you like family. Genuinely care about your experience.

Champion Chevrolet is just what their name states, “CHAMPIONS”. I have 2 Avalanches and a Buick Encore that I have serviced there. From the time you walk in til you leave with your car fixed they treat you like family. Friendly, courteous and honest are words that resonate with their service department. Tony and Jay (and the rest of the gang) are professionals of their trade. I give both of these gentlemen the highest marks for friendliness and outstanding service. They know their cars and are able to quickly analyze your vehicle’s needs, provide prompt service then quickly and professionally get you back on the road. The mechanics are top shelf and provide top quality work. I have taken my trucks to different dealerships in the past but now only trust owner Fred Tolsdorf and his outstanding group to care for my vehicles. Thanks for all you do for your customers.

Jay Townsend was my advisor during the service trip. Mr. Townsend is very knowledgeable, he works hard to please the customer, and he also assists in training on the areas of a new vehicle and I appreciate that. My service appointment was scheduled in a timely manner, they got me in at the appointed time and my car was serviced very efficiently within a reasonable length of time. I was very pleased with this trip to the Champion service department.

Jay, the service representative was the most accommodating rep I’ve ever dealt with at a dealership. I bought my equinox from an out of state GM dealership other than champion and was not happy that that dealership never notified me of recalls on my equinox so consequently I’ve had to be burdened with the expense of two fixes of recalls that had expired shortly before the problems surfaced. My complaints to GM about this have gone unanswered but my experience with Champion was satisfactory.

I was needing to get in fairly quickly for a service call for my 2018 Impala, and I sent a message via text late at night. The service department returned a call early the next morning and got me in the first available appointment. Don't question why, but I I accidently wrote down an appointment for 8:00 am, instead of 3:00 pm. I got there at 7:45 am, realized my mistake and expected to go home and come back. NO WAY. They went on, took me in line and completed the job before I had a chance to even take a little nap. The repair service was all hyped up and very thorough in every step. I even got a discount. I was so thrilled, as always, and will never take my vehicle any where else other than Champion in LaGrange. I know I can trust them to handle me like a family member and since I have been going there for years, I feel like a little sister. I love the company, so ask for Tony and Jay in the service department.

After a very stressful week (Christmas week) I took my car in due to a nasty leak. I was very stressed and upset about how expensive it was to get fixed - although the price couldn’t be altered any lower, Jay was very patient and understanding with me and even paid for a me to drive a rental for a couple of days until the car was fixed.

Had antenna replaced under warranty. Diagnosed quickly and the part came in the following day. Made an appointment to get it installed with a few days and I was back on the road in a very short period of time. Jay, the service manager was a pleasure to deal with and very professional. I will definitely use them for my GMC service rather than the other dealership in Louisville.

Last month i took a car in for service here, and then I also purchased a car from Champion Buick a few days ago and both experiences exceeded my expectations. Jay in service, thanks again for your help getting our car working as fast as possible. Todd over at the used car part of the dealership across the road, it was a pleasure working with you on our purchase. This was the fastest and easiest car I've bought, and it really liked that it never felt like a high pressure sales dealership you find other places. ill definitely be back here for my next car purchase.

The entire team at Champion—from Tony, Jay, Robert and all in service to James and Kyle in the Collision center—truly went the extra mile, and then some, to make sure my car came back even better than before. I really appreciate their attention to detail, and the personal care they have faithfully offered me and my family for 20 years.

I took my car to Champion for an issue with the air conditioner fan on Tuesday and did not have an appointment. I needed the car for an out-of-town trip on Friday and was told they would do the best they could to get the job completed. On Wednesday afternoon I received a call from the service department explaining what they needed to do to fix the issue and I was provided the cost. Instead of waiting to get the part until they got the okay from me Jay went ahead and obtained the part. I was so glad because I was told it was the only one available. I have done business with Champion for over 20 years and continue to value the service department here. I believe their service department is what sells so many vehicles for them.

Jay seems like a real straight shooter. Nice guy, and honest. Recommended that I just buy the part and install myself. Good thing, too as the service is a bit slow. However, you are the closest Chevy dealership to my house, so that means I'll be returning. Next time, I'll be a drop off customer, though. Oh--I had to call to make sure my part was there. The parts department never bothered to call.

So dropped my Chevy Malibu off due to a problem with the stop start feature. They gave me a quote of 862 for repair. I get the car repaired and it breaks down again. Take it back and they tell me there is a bad engine. Ask for my money back because my problem is not fixed and the manger said no. She said she could not do it. Couldn’t even refund half?! When I drop the car off on day 1 they should have told me the engine was bad. That’s just terrible service. You literally fixed nothing. I have a warranty so I’m fine but that’s just atrocious. They should have ate that. At least refund the labor. These car places will do almost everything but solve the problem. You’re jobs is to diagnose and fix the problem. So what service did I pay for. The manager wouldn’t even talk to me and I was respectful. Don’t go here. Jay was nice though. They need to be more transparent with time of completion and call with updates. They just tried to treat me like any ol customer .

The level of service we have received from the Sales department and the Service Department has been Outstanding! Vicki in sales has been very knowledgeable of all products offered. She is attentive to our needs in all situations and has made the car or Truck purchase a pleasant one. Jay and Tony in service have also been very helpful and attentive to our needs. We will not purchase a vehicle or have one serviced any where else.

1st negative experience here after several good ones. Going on vacation and took my Tahoe in to rotate tires and check brakes. Was told rear brakes were thin but fine for the trip. A thousand mile trip later I’m metal on metal in the rear and the grinding is horrible. Did not want to be looking for a brake job while on vacation. Jay and the guys have usually been good to me. Very disappointed this time and I called him to let him know. I will continue to do business there based on my past experience but I won’t if this continues. Rick Baker

Champion's service department is the best. I've been dealing with Tony, Judy and Jay for years and would recommend them to anyone. I've purchased several GM vehicles from them in the past, and the Sales and Service departments have always come through when I've needed them. Way to go Champion ! You've earned an "Extremely Satisfied" from me !
