Tate Dodge Chrysler Annapolis Service Center

On 23 December 2000, right after graduation from college and right before I entered graduate school, I bought a 2001 Dodge Stratus R/​T coupe from the Dodge dealer in Mount Airy. That car saw me through graduate school, was shipped to Hawai’i, drove around O’ahu for 5 years, then shipped to Baltimore, and is still the car I drive to work every day. It is, however, on it’s last legs and only lasted this long because of the meticulous care I took with her.
At this point I’m just trying to keep her on the road through the end of the year when I’ll have the money to buy another commuter vehicle. With having said that, a few things just broke on me and the odd ball shapes to the parts means that there is no local part stores that carry them. I had to go to the Dodge dealership to special order them at absurdly high prices.
I’m about to make the second most yuppie statement of my life. «Ughh, I have to walk into an American car dealership!»
So, I’ve complained about Dodge/​Chrysler/​Jeep as the brand (and Mitsubishi as well since my car was a «cross-​platform» between the two companies). And I’ve complained about the disturbingly high prices of replacement parts I ordered from the dealership. Why am I giving them a three star review? Simply because the gentleman that assisted me in the parts department was very pleasant, friendly, and glad to help me even though they were short staffed at the time. A+ on customer service in the parts department. D on quality vehicles. FYI, GM would get an F on quality vehicles, so I couldn’t give that to Chrysler.
And for anyone wondering what the most yuppie statement of my life is, «Whoo-​hooo! I bought a BMW M3 Convertible!»
