    For new sales and service for at least the warranty period, which would it be? Dodge has a shit reputation for dealership quality for sure but who's the best of the bunch?

    I took my wife into an FCA dealership once when the new Durango came out.

    She told me never to do that to her again.

    Varsity has treated me really well, Renfrew in second place.

    When I was shopping for a Wrangler, I sent out emails to various dealerships outside of the Calgary area.

    Cochrane Dodge Jeep RAM and Murray Okotoks Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM responded immediately and spent all day hunting vehicles for me with the options I wanted and the price range I wanted to keep it in. In the end Cochrane won because they found what I was looking first, but I could have easily gone with Okotoks as well. The only time I ever had to step into the dealership was to pick up the vehicle; everything was done over email while I was working. Such a painless process and I didn't have to deal with all the usual dealership shenanigans one normally has to. I'm normally very distrustful of dealerships and I can't recommend Cochrane enough.

    Stay the hell away from Renfrew.

    You will get a better deal outside of Calgary. Two family members have purchased trucks from the edmonton area in a past few months with much better discounts. Let me know if you want the contact info.

    Varsity has been the best in my experience. I would stay away from Crowfoot.

    I would rather make love to a bag of broken glass than deal with a dodge dealer.

    Airdrie was favorite for buying.

    Big4 for service.

    I picked up my Wrangler from Mountain View Dodge in Olds. Great group of people to work with. Okotoks didn't seem to take my purchase seriously.

    Stay far far FAR away from Crowfoot. These guys seriously fucked me over before I was somewhat knowledgable about puchasing vehicles. I got fleeced 6 ways of Sunday, and only found out about it by accident, thankfully before I signed on the dotted line.

    I would also steer clear of Airdrie Dodge. Went in with @baygirl last summer, and we both left angry at sales and how we were treated.

    Mountain View Dodge is good to work with, but a little lacking with communication. Cochrane dodge is decent also. If I was staying in the city, I would probably work with South Trail, they were pretty stellar there, and was on the way down to buy a Dodge and decided to check Ford one last time and they played ball.

    I go to South Trail, they are owned by the same group that we purchase our trucks from in St. Albert. I’ve done warranty and recall work there and no complains so far. Tower I didn’t mind for service, but sales is a different story.

    Similar experience. Closed the deal how I wanted in the end and decided I never wanted to go back. Never took so long to buy a vehicle before in my life, it felt more like an interrogation and was an exercise in wearing me down. Hands down worst buying experience I have ever had.

    I’ve made a few purchases through Cochrane Dodge. No complaints here, nothing great to speak about.

    South Trail is the same as Eastside which I think is also Varsity, can't recall the name of the group though.

    If only there was a way to purchase a car without talking to a commissioned sales person.
