Houston, TX jeep dealerships--any recomendations?
 

Hi all,

I'm back in this group after about 4 years of being away. I'll post a
proper (re)introduction soon.

I am originally from NJ, but I am spending the summer in Houston, TX.
I have a new '06 LJ and I am looking for any reccomendations for
dealerships in the area with good service departments. If anyone here
is from the houston area and can lend any insight, i would greatly
appreciate it!

Its great to be back and to see a bunch of familiar names still on here
after all these years!

Thanks,
-ryan

I was using Deerbrook Forrest Jeep just North of Humble, TX on Rt. 59.
Not cheap, but what dealer is? What they fixed stayed fixed. And if
you're waiting for your Jeep to be serviced there's a Denny's close by.
I retired last August and found a great Jeep dealer, but he's in
Arizona. No help there.

I suspect that it will depend upon what part of Houston you are
located in... I'm on the SW side and use Archer... I had been over in
New Orleans well before Katrina and was not at all impressed with the
dealerships over there... Bergeron would not work on your vehicle if
it wasn't perfectly stock... When Grace's WJ was being worked on
there, they never could correct the problem with the noise from the
transmission... Lakeshore Chrysler over there wasn't much better, even
though I made the mistake of buying a new Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 QuadCab
pickup from them...

Re: Houston, TX jeep dealerships--any recomendations?
 

Thank you all for the information.

I am in the 'Med Center' area, not far from Reliant Park.

Right now, I have an appointment at Helfman River Oaks Jeep. No one
had any very positive reviews of other places, and they seem close to
my location.

Anyone heard anything negative about Helfman?

This is my 1st service (3K mi) on my new truck, so I am just being
overcautious. after this one (or maybe the next), I should be back
home in NJ where i can do it myself or know where to go.

Thanks again!

Re: Houston, TX jeep dealerships--any recomendations?
 

FOLLOWUP...for anyone searching on a similar question in the future.

I did go to Helfman River Oaks Jeep for the service. I filled out the
online reservation form, and asked that let let me know how long to
expect to wait. A service manager called me the next day to tell me it
would be ~45 minutes.

I pulled up to find that they have 2 lines to check in. It is a HUGE
facility (at least compared to dealerships I am used to). They were
very friendly and very efficient. About 47 minutes later, they came to
get me from their fairly comfortable waiting room. (There is also an
IHOP and a Hooters right down the road, for those prefer pancakes or
....wings... while they wait.)

I chatted with the same servidce manager for a minute and he told me
that they do over 200 cars some days in 40-something bays. Quite an
operation.

No carwash or vaccuuming with the 3K service (the dealer back home
usually does), but everything was done as stated.

Altogether, a positive experience, and I would recommend them. Theone
downside with a place that big is that you probably never have the same
tech work on your truck twice, as they must emply a small army.

Thanks for the input!
