I bought my truck from this place 2017 cascadia with dd13. The truck have been doing amazing. I was nervous on buying the truck because it was my first time. Rick the salesman gave me all the information on the truck. Very honest guy Thank you Rick i will be coming back to buy a brand new truck next time!!!

I took my Sister here to pick up and order for her truck. She’s a Truck Driver and apparently she had ordered something from here. The place is surrounded with new big pretty trucks and some used trucks! They also have a workshop area and the front office area for pickup. It’s clean and atmosphere is nice. The staff is friendly. HAPPY SHOPPING!

Do not even try to purchase new trucks from them. Full of tricks and lies. We understand you have bad apples here and there but you cant allow one salesman to disrupt your operation. Even so you should be able to rectify and make it right.You don’t have to worry about this salesman Britt that lied without blinking just to get my attention. But you have to watch on GM Chris that tolerates all this shams happening on his watch.Such a bad experience. We will go threw with the fraud. Since we have no options. But its so sad to see how people make money these days. On lies and empty promises.Word of advice. Find a good dealership. And when you do, stick with them even if you have to wait for the equipment. Its worth all the money in the world.This place is a total joke and will not stick around long enough to understand that.

We just stopped here due to an engine light in our RV. They could not have been nicer or more accommodating. The front of the shop was clean and everyone was very helpful. Adrian was the tech that checked out our engine and went above and beyond to explain everything to us. I would highly recommend!

They had me there all day telling me that I would be taken care of in a few hours and by closing time they finally told me that they were looking at the wrong truck and my parts were not going to be in till tomorrow. If they had were for another truck from the same company but different unit number. Now Im stuck another day waiting to get my truck fixed.

I waited 5 hours and they never even worked on my truck. They had the opportunity to do it but said they never got the okay from my company to make changes to the truck. They will not communicate with you. They will take your truck snd leave you to freeze in the lounge.

This review is for an employee of Birmingham Freightliner. This employee name is Jeff. Jeff went above and beyond his call of duty when I took my truck to Birmingham Freightliner. Jeff has a million dollar personality. He was very knowledgeable and his gave me adequate information. The day I came into Birmingham Freightliner it was Jeff first day and I didnt experience any problems. Jeff is a person you want working at your company. Jeff customer service was exceptional.Sincerely,Lonnie Maddox

Got a truck through these guys, Britt has been my wingman for this entire experience. Had a couple of hiccups with the truck and Britt made for sure that they were fixed even when it wasnt at their shop. I highly recommend them for a new truck based on how Ive been treated.

Birmingham Freightliner was very amazing with communicating with us and allowing us to know what the next step would be! They made sure that our tractor was top of the list to be worked on! They ensured that we would be able to have our drivers in and out the exact same week! Thank you Kathleen and your team for helping us getting Big 8 Transportation in and out!

I give 5 stars only for their quick unloading. Some of the lumper service Southeast Unloading) crew members I have interacted with are rude and lack understanding of their role. Their rigid and archaic payment method is is too inconvenient and not in keeping with the time (21st century). Uber Freight uses Comcheck express codes to pay lumpers. Other lumper services in many other facilities have set up with electronic comcheck payments that needs providing only an express code. This unloading service, however, requires the carrier to bring a physical comecheck for payment and they dont always have them available on their file to facilitate. Comchecks are to find anywhere other than Comedata. You can order them only if you have a comedata account for their comdata card. The truckr stops I cecked with dont have tge checks anymore since they use the electronic system in place. The lumper service crew act as if they are doing you a favor, not doing business. They lack basic decency and work manners matching their duty. If they cant provide the comchecks they ask the driver to bring, they should atleast accept credit card payments, instead of only cash.

Had a great experience working with jeff the night service man he has helped me get my truck in and out of the shop in a timely manner if there was any problems he would communicate what the problems was and also he had just a great attitude and willingness to help no matter the situation so thanks jeff in the night service department and the guys in the shop I will see you down the road. 👍👍

Easy to deal with. Truck broke down and got towed to Freightliner. The people were nice and knowledgeable. The service manager Kathleen was great. Truck was down for days and she kept me updated every step of the way til I got my rig back. She even booked my room and had the shuttle pick me up. Will recommend to all my buddies!

Wouldnt recommend to work for them. They completely lie when it comes to the pay they offer. Says they offer 30$ to 35$ an hour with certifications, but when you show them your certificates they require for the job they say you need more and offer you 20$ an hour. Waste of trip & time. False information is not professional.*** updateThey called to tell me it would be in my best interest to take this review down & threatened to call my current employer to let them know I was looking for another job. After hanging up they continued to call back to back. Had to block them. Harassment is also not professional.

Well, not enough stars for Daniel, Bryan and the whole body shop crew. Not only did they take care of my truck, they went above and beyond to take care of me.

AWESOME customer service. I was picking up my company truck for the first time and noticed a buzzer going off.

Recently had to have my rear end replaced on cascadia 2015. They did get me done in about 7 days. Due to waiting on parts to come in The volume of trucks that comes thru this location is insane so I was grateful they were able to take care of me. Just make sure you keep checking on them and if you have to you can email the customer service and they were very responsive to find out what was going on with my truck.

Review №36

I bought a used Tiffin RV with a Freightliner Chassis and needed to get basic maintenance to make aftermarket service agreement valid on my 2010 Rear Engine Diesel. Also needed to get a faulty warning light and warning alarm repaired that had been intermittently giving trouble since I purchased from a private individual.I was so happy with the service and getting my Coach back up to speed. Linda and Jenna the service advisors kept me apprised of the progress with personal phone calls. One that the maintenance was done and another that the faulty light bar was ordered and being installed. Yet another when the test drive was completed. I am a worrier and having to leave my coach (a rolling condo) caused anxiety but I felt it was in good hands and felt at ease leaving it for the repair. I would highly recommend them for any RV owners that needs service or repair on a Freightliner Chassis Motorhome.

Review №37

Every time we get our trucks in for repairs on the road is like stepping into the unknown. Needless to say, more often than not the experience is painful. This place however did the diagnostics and repairs very quick and the price we paid was incredibly low. Would not hesitate to take our trucks for service to them. Chris Kelley is extremely professional and pleasant to deal it. I was able to reach him every single time i called and was given updates on everything that is going on with our truck. Thank you guys

Review №38

Always helpful, almost always have the parts I need, they do a great job of working with me and getting my companies needs met in a timely manner. Super good people. However, they apparently will not work with my companies national account pricing so this causes them to lose a star.Things can occasionally get backed up but this is just standard for dealerships.Sometimes the service department is a bit more expensive than it really should be so it will lose a star for that as well.

Over a week there, some off the saftey stuff on my display doesnt work anymore, service desk let you stand there like you dont exist, no space to drop a trailer, no after hour pick up. I think that should cover it! Clownshow, disappointing! I believe is the word to discribe it best

Review №51

Sent the wrong part to the shop where my husbands truck was broke down, so now he cant sleep in his truck and is paying for a hotel because of their inability to actually match the correct parts up to the correct model. Now he sits and waits, as does the shop, because of Freightliners ineptitude. Bad business. They should be paying my husband and the shop for their mistake.

From the moment we gave Chris Reed at Freightliner Birmingham a call, we knew wed made the right decision. Chris and the rest of the team consist of the most trusted, honest and forthright salesmen youll meet in the industry. From start to finish, they made sure we got what we were specifically asking for - nothing less, and much, much more. We were looking to buy a used truck for our small business based in North Carolina and after driving down to Birmingham (on Christmas Eve) and discovering there was a leak in the truck, Chris assured us that his shop would cover 100% of the cost it would take to fix it back home. He followed up with us very consistently and earnestly throughout the repair process until he knew we were satisfied. Chris and Freightliner Birmingham epitomize customer service and you wont find a better sales team to work with.

I have to say all the people that I interacted with were as nice as they could possibly be but as far as the service they didnt fix the problem that brought me there in the first place.

I was here for a repair,and the people were very courteous. The part I needed was not in stock,and the service department went way out and beyond to get the part elsewhere.

Review №72

I really don’t know what to say. I should have called the manager as soon as I noticed the problem. But I hate getting people in trouble at their workplace. So here’s what I encountered. My truck had been there for 2 weeks. So my job just gave me a different truck to pick up. So I had to stop here and get my stuff out of this truck. I get to Mississippi to the other truck and start unpacking and making my bed is usually the first thing I do so when I get tired I’ll be able to go to bed without having to do it after I’m already tired and just want to lay down. That’s when I noticed something on my bed sheets that was not there before. It was white and dried and smeared on the sheets. Then I grab my pillows and they have what appears to be tire marks across both of them. Well I know I didn’t run over my own pillows. I’m like WTH. Why would somebody do this. They whacked off on my sheets and ran over my pillows. Never have I encountered anything like this. Very immature person. You know their young. Only young and dumb people do things like this. And most likely on the night shift when office management is not there. This person apparently needs physiological help. They are not quit working with a full deck. Other than that its a Freightliners. Your truck will be there at least a week more like 2 usually. Nice and clean facilities. Office personnel are nice and helpful.

The absolute worse place ever! Good luck getting your truck back in a timely manor! Drop it off the Friday before leaving on a week long vacation and here we are on week 3 with no truck still and have heard a different story from every person we have spoke with. Same thing happened last year, but wanted to give them another chance and hoping it was just a fluke last time. From now on, I will make the drive to the freightliner in Georgia even though I reside in Birmingham. Edited to add that after having the truck that long..picked it up Monday and the check engine light is now on AGAIN! So truck has to go back in the shop! Of course truck will go in the shop elsewhere! Never bringing the truck back here!

5 star rating, only because I appreciate all the work fromJonny Hendrixone of the nicest guys you will ever meet. He is willing to help out anyone with anything at anytime. It could be with front counter sales, helping a customer load their truck, taking care of tickets that aren’t even his and making sure the invoices are right or even taking time away to help out the warehouse with inventory issues, pulling tickets or putting up stock. I don’t think Jonny gets the credit and the appreciation he deserves within the company. So thank you for everything you do from a customers point of view.And let’s also brag about Timmy Bowen.Like Jonny, timmy is also one of the nicest guys you can get help from. He’s one of the quickest to answer back from emails dealing with part questions, concerns, eta on parts. He also takes on the responsibility of getting all the information to you for backordered parts that are on order and keeping up with post tickets within DTNASo thank you both for all the amazing help you have given me over the 4 1/2 years I’ve been in this industry. It’s very much appreciated!

Review №81

Terrible. I took my truck in for a PM. I go to pick it up and it wont start. After four hours waiting for them to fix my truck that had no starting issues when I dropped it off, I get a call saying saying my truck has a electrical issue that is causing it not to start and that the problem existed before I brought the truck in. I ask if the truck runs and starts now, because I know it operated fine with no issues before I dropped it off. They say yes and I go to get my truck. As Im walking out to my truck I ask the mechanic getting out of my truck will I have any more issues getting my truck to start he says No we just forgot to prime the fuel pump after the pm. This is freightliner and they dont even know how to do a proper PM and then try to convince me the problem is something else.

Review №87

While the repair shop does good work the service writers inside could really use some training in manners. Todd is very rude and ignorant. When asking questions he wants to interrupt and make excuses. We called in about 1045 this morning he told us truck was ready to roll. We get here at 1215 and he then says truck has another hour of wait time for seals to dry, then says its also got to be paid for. Well payment is preauthorized with the company and why did you tell us at 1045 that truck was ready. So we asked for manager who was much more pleasant to deal with. Todd needs to be disciplined for his actions today. I will say this much, if he talks like that to other clients one of them are going to end up losing their patience and clock his disrespectful self.

Rude service in the service department. Called up there and asked if they can look at my truck. They said it would be in the morning if we could get it there soon. Truck was there in 45 minutes and the service department said it would be at least 4 days before they could look at it. Called up there and asked to speak to the service manager and they gave me the run around. So told the driver to go get the keys so we can take it to a Cummins dealer. Went they went in to the service department they slide the keys to them and see u later. Dont come back. So if u can. Keep from going there. They lie to you to get you to bring your truck in there where they can give you the run around.

Arrived for service at 12:53pm on 1/14/17 and was told there were four trucks ahead of me, at about 6pm was approached by Service Advisor and was told his tech would notbe able to get to see the truck until Monday morning, I drove to the nearest truck stop and returned Monday at 6am to continue waiting to be seen. Waited until 1:30pm and finally gave up after watching trucks that came in after me get service and leave. Never again, next chance I get will be trading this Freightliner in for any other truck.
