NH - Any dealer service department recommendations?

[Paultg]

Waiting on a truck. Live in Londonderry NH. Curious if anyone has had good experiences locally with the service departments at dealers in Southern NH, or if you recommend avoiding any? I guess I could consider the fee across the boarder in MA but would prefer to stay in N.H.

I have not had to take mine in yet, but I will probably try Contemporary in Milford first. They are closest to me, and my son has used them a couple times successfully on his Ram.

I have my 1500 Big Horn serviced at Bob Mariano in Concord. Been very pleased with the work and price. Ive had four service appointments and have had them install skid plates, trailer brake and several other items. Work done quickly and right the first time.

Living closer to the sea coast, I took my 4th gen to Foss Motors in Exeter for routine maintenance. And just recently I decided to purchase my 5th gen from them.

Maybe give them a shot?

That’s good to hear. Thanks for sharing. They aren’t much further North than Manchester (Bonneville & Son). I’ll definitely give them a call if I need service.

I could. I go out that way for work sometimes. Actually test drove a truck there but ended up ordering out of state.

I typically like doing my own service work (oil changes, filters, tire rotation). But reading about this truck it seems to be a bit of a PITA.
And I would need a better jack, etc...
I have fumoto valves on my other vehicles. That seems to be a way to help with the potential mess on the Ram.
I guess I’ll have to see now I feel once I actually have, can get under it, and get to that 10k mile mark.

My friend said he hasn’t been a fan of Allen Mello back when he had his Dodge so I am sort of moving them down the list. Milford is a bit of a hike too.

What do you guys who have regular service done pay for an oil/filter change on a 5.7l hemi?

 

[41magmag41]

I pay 59.00 with a coupon they have all the time. The $59.00 includes filter, 7 quarts of full synthetic oil, tire rotation and vehicle inspection. All at Bob Mariano.

Wow. That certainly makes the decision easy. Have you ever had a mess of oil on the bottom of the truck or do they do a nice job cleaning everything up?

 

[41magmag41]

truck comes out clean, never any mess. Im OC about my truck, wax it once a week, lol. If it came out a mess the service wouldnt cost me anything,lol.

I have the same question. Purchased my ram in Ma. Not ready for any service but always good to know a reputable dealer. I'll probably look into some reviews of Bonneville and Son. I usually do my own oil changes but $59 for full synthetic sounds good to me. Thanks 41

I live in Rochester and have been taking over cars (2014 Bighorn, 2015 Chrysler 200C, 2020 Bighorn and 2017 Challenger) to Tri City Dodge in Somersworth and had great work with them.

Went in today for my first service. $70 for oil/filter, tire rotation and multipoint inspection. Happy to report my first dealer service went well.
Thanks for the recommendation a year ago.

So I bought my truck at NUCAR in Tilton(they had what I wanted on the lot), and I'm eventually moving to western Coös county so my nearest dealer will be Crosstown in Lttileton.

Any experiences with those service departments? I will likely only go in for repairs or warranty work.

Your post is from nearly a year ago, but I’m responding anyways. I’ve bought 2 trucks from Autoserv (which got bought out by NUCAR) my current Ram and a Nissan Titan (2012), and have had good experiences with their service department. Had my rear sliding window and trim and 3rd brake light replaced due to the leaking with zero guff from them, also had the ‘completely dead battery’ issue, brought it in to them. While they couldn’t determine the issue, they did say ‘if it happens again, and something needs to be replaced, we’ll cover you because it happened the first time before your warranty expired’. That sort of thing.

Not a huge fan of their sales department, but service is more important in the long run.

I've been very pleased with Bob Mariano in Concord for the last three years after purchasing my 2019 bighorn 4x4 1500 from them. Service is excellent and the have good coupons on their web page for service.

I've had bad service from Allem Mello in Nashua.
Bought my 2021 Laramie from Bonneville and have used them and Contemporary in Milford.

How was Contemporary?

They were fine. I even took one of the Sales Guys on a Demo ride of my Laramie
Driving its self Similar to a Tesla. If your 2019+ RAM has Lane Keep Assist and
Adaptive Cruise Control you can add a Comma3 from Comma.ai to it.

Thread on the Comma Device:

Comma.ai

Anyone interested in getting this? I, for one, do not have the ability or skill to program all of this., but I am definitely ready for it.
