Great people to take to. Dealership was very clean.
I will definitely tell my family and friends about how friendly the people that work at keweenaw chev.
I will definitely be going back in a few mores months to renew my other lease. Please feel free to send me coupons for more rebats.
It was not time consuming. All of the workers were professional. You could really understand they talked clear and explain what you needed.

After Dealing with the IRS and the automated line was horrible after I finally identified my self to ID everything was smooth sailing after that thank you and my representative was awesome he did a great job
While attempting to renew my trademark I encountered a system that is far more complex than it needs to be. In addition, some of the people who have attempted to assist me I found to be very inept, rude, inconsiderate, and worthless.
I had difficulty learning what to do and when. I went to the sight numerous times trying to accomplish everything, often having to start almost from scratch. I came close to having nothing deducted for income taxes, so I could avoid said ordeal in the future and forfeit what I was owed from 2022 taxes.

I went through the requested steps only to be told that I was not going to be able to be cleared this way. I am currently on the recommended phone call after being disconnected at least once with an half an hour hold time.

Awful. Kept saying "something went wrong." Very frustrating. Spent all day yesterday without success. Tried again today and worked. My husband tried today. No success. They couldn't verify his ID. It went downhill after that. Still didn't get a pin. Spent HOURS on this. Need something easier for those who are not tech savy.

If I had to do it over, when it comes to uploading a picture of your ID, I would not say that I had a smart phone- using their app to upload photos of ID never worked. Say no to that option, take pictures with your phone, save to PC and upload that way. Also, on the ID confirmation part- don't do self serve there either. Getting their software to take a selfie with your webcam is horrible. I tried for 30 minutes to get it to work. Finally, went with live agent call method and it took 5 minutes. Easy.

Potentially a great improvement to security. But this software needs a LOT of work. I hope the security side is in far better shape than the User Interface(i have my doubts based on experience)
Doesn't tell you that your pictures are no good until several screens further. Should detect if you have glasses on and warn you to take them off.
No clear way to bail midway thru the assisted process and retry the manual.
