“The focus for our customer service is our mission statement, which is, ‘Do the right thing, exceed expectations, make a difference,” said Pat McGrath, owner of Pat McGrath Chevyland.

Striving to achieve this goal is what made subscribers of the Corridor Business Journal vote the auto dealership as offering Best Customer Service for a retail outlet.

At Pat McGrath, every employee receives a full day of training that is specific to customer service.

“My father, who started the business, really drove home the point that we are in the customer service business first, the car business second,” he said.

Pat McGrath Chevyland is pleased to announce that it hit the 500,000 mark for customers in our service department. Last week Jeremy Higgins stopped in for a “Maintenance 1″ and oil change and Reid Harford wrote the “500,000 Service repair order” on his vehicle. He owns a 08 Silverado (he purchased from McGrath Auto) and to thank him for his business and great timing the Chevyland Service Department detailed the vehicle, paid for his service work for the whole service visit,  and gave him a $50 gift card so he could take his wife out for Valentine’s Days!
