20 Best Acting Programs In Indianapolis, IN (2022 Updated)

Please do not attend this school for it's transition to teaching graduate program. The professors did not prepare for their classes and provided low quality education to the point that I could not justify continuing with this program after paying in over $4,000. When attempting to get them to appeal the final $800 for the semester I left the program they simply refused to give any leeway or acknowledge and error on their part and sent me collections with an additional $350 fee. With no recourse beyond their own appeals process that unsurprisingly found no problem on their end, all I can do is complain on their review boards. On the plus side, the do have a beautiful campus and I can not in anyway speak to the quality of their undergraduate program.Daniel Gore

While well established as a great Franciscan university, Marian remains up-and-coming in terms of their MAT program for teachers. I had a wonderful experience in terms of the contacts made and networks formed while attending. However, much remains to be done to increase the rigor and requirements for that particular degree. Still, Marian University will soon open the second medical school in the State of Indiana. They are also adding a seemingly much finer tuned doctoral education leadership program.Tim Lankford

Here visiting for a campus tour with my daughter. So far what we have seen is amazing. Marian University is a great place. The buildings are contemporary except for a few historical sites that were preserved. Other than that, it appears to be a great place. The people were friendly as we visited as well. We look forward to visiting with her here at Marian University.Susan Bethea

To all the high school freshman posting reviews and rating AMDA 5 stars stop. You do not go there. Do not give it a bigger head than it already has. Attended in 2013-2014 would have been one star if it weren't for some (a few) wonderful teachers. (Stacy Lee, Kathy, Jeff, Tim,and Ray thank you) I am posting this review because they just posted an instagram post about 13 reasons why. They said check this out help is available. Would have been nice if that was ACTUALLY TRUE. However, if you have any sort of mental health problems you are told to grow up! (By teachers AND THE DAMN COUNSELOR) you are told stories of how the show must go on fake it til you make it. If you cannot stop crying you are weak, and theater is just a hobby for you. The teachers name drop and make you feel bad about yourself for not being Jason Derulo.The only person who helped me get help was my acting teacher (god bless him), who sent me to the counselor who told me I was acting like a child and that I need to prioritize. "If this isn't for you you don't have to be here" I told him this is the most depressed I've ever been. No offer to find therapy near me. No weekly meetings. No follow up visit. He suggested I find a new dream. So I did but now I'm 25,000 dollars in debt after 9 of the worst months of my life. Like others have said AMDA is what you make it but if you have any sort of mental health issues don't count on getting any help. PS. The dorms have a large scary roach problem, pretty sure it used to be a mental hospital (how fitting) PPS. I can acknowledge that I learned a good deal in my acting and VPS classes. And that not all the teachers suck.Madison Mitchell

I joined AMDA NYC back in 2021 Fall. This school has changed my life. Incredible staffing who are all working professionals within the acting world and all are incredibly motivated, fun and inspiring. My time at this school has been nothing but positive thus far and, the school continues to get better and better. I have done my own reading into reviews and the bad reviews have definitely changed. I have seen things change here, I have seen things become progressively better for the students here at AMDA. AMDA has become much more of a supporting and safe environment for not just me but for everybody who needs it. You certainly learn a lot here, develop great connections with your teachers and get plenty of opportunities out here. I myself, am certainly glad that I chose this school. Great friends, great classes, great locations, great teachers and all around an incredibly exiting journey.Kallan Fuller

My daughter just graduated in Sept 2017 from NYC in dance. She had a very positive experience from start to finish! Starting with Elliott Kerr, Assistant Director of Admissions. Elliott did a nice job of answering all our questions and helping get all our paperwork completed. Our daughter loved all her teachers and has said through out her program, "this is the right school for me." I feel like the program and the school prepared her for auditioning and the life of a performer! THANK YOU AMDA!Jennifer M

It's my alma mater, so I'm biased. However, I must say that campus is gorgeous and very student-friendly. There are areas to rest and relax. Wonderful wooded areas and picturesque locations along Jordan Creek to chill and hang. Buildings are very beautiful, and full of history. A wonderful place to go to school.Natalia M

Wonderful university to attend. I love Indiana University. My only regret was not going there all 4 years in college (transferred there). This is easily one of the most, if not the most, beautiful campuses out there. Staff and students are all friendly and the Big Ten culture is great! GO IU! Go HOOSIERS!Thadeus Staples

IU is ranked in the top ten for many majors. My years there were my favorite years of my life. It's such a beautiful city, with so many trees, flowers, gardens, and limestone castles everywhere you look. There's a romantic feeling in the air and a youthful energy about the city.Calico Jack

Definitely live on campus if you are looking for the full college experience. I've lived here for 3 years as an undergraduate and the facilities are very nice and the people very helpful. It's easy to find a job through the university and the research opportunities in science blow many other universities out of the water. Scholarships are also abundant if you know where to look and ask around. Professors range from fantastic to poor like at any university. I believe there are over 300 organizations and clubs to get involved in and always neat things like movies playing, dances, carnivals, etc, you just have to know to look for them. The campus is beautiful, especially in the spring and summer when the fountain is going and everyone is lounging outside. IUPUI is what you make of it, and getting involved is the best way to experience it.Amber Goad

As a 36-year old student who is employed full time and has a growing family to support going back to school to get a degree, I am mostly pleased with the experience of the last full school year. I've had a couple of lousy instructors, but for the most part I really enjoy the instructors I've had. I'm learning a lot of important information that will help me as an employee. I'm growing as an artist, though I am stressed out a lot from my crazy schedule.Vincent Morretino

I am currently a junior at IUPUI. Year after year I am always excited to come back to school! The campus is modern and in the middle of the city! There is always an event happening somewhere on campus, so you are always having the college experience. I love IUPUI and I think that it is the best university ever!Payton

With galleries open to the public which are filled with unique, inspiring art; a curriculum that feeds not only the artistic soul of our city, but also it's mental health (through the art therapy curriculum) and classes for non-artists, this is an Indianapolis gem definitely worth visiting!Karen E Laine

KD Conservatory is a fantastic, intensive, pro-active program that will teach you everything you need to know to confidently enter the world of entertainment on any level, be that live theatre, television, broadcast, film on ANY side of the camera (actors, writers, directors, producers, all forms of the crew, etc…), as well as build you a rock solid foundation of acting technique, acute physical awareness, and an entertainment business acumen on which to accurately and responsibly make choices about your work. Furthermore, KD Conservatory has not only aided my education and lead me to professional work in my industry, but the school has facilitated the same success to my circle of alumni (of no less than a dozen that I can recall off-hand) who all continue to make money doing what they love- acting, singing, dancing, music directing, directing, producing, and teaching. Advice: Don't EVER accept advice on acting from somebody who is not a successful working actor. Don't seek their counsel because they know nothing. People who say that this school is a scam are either not serious enough about their career to understand the training they really need. OR, they are already beyond the teaching they could potentially receive at KD and should, therefor, already be booking professional gigs. Lastly, BE ADSIVED, NOTHING WILL BE HANDED TO YOU. There are those who graduate from the program and do nothing. And there are those who work. If you are open to learning, it's worth it.D'Andre Childs

I have been training at KD Conservatory for 4 weeks now as a Musical Theatre major and let me tell you that this place is amazing. There are some amazing opportunities from training with Michael Serrechia and putting on Musical performances to learning Ballet technique to learning piano, increasing your acting abilities, jazz, tap, vocal performance and so much more!!! I have also met some amazing people here already and made lifelong friends. Please consider KD to pursue your Motion Picture Performance, Acting, or Musical Theatre careers!!!AustinFrickinJon

My experience was great! My daughter's teacher was amazing! Not to often you find a teacher who loves what they do and are good at it! I'd recommend this school to my family and friends! Update! 4years later and my daughter still go to this school! We took a year and a half off but came right back! The teachers are still great and they have an awesome desk lady. I forget her name I think it’s Tish, she is great to talk if you want to sit and wait. Keep up the great work you guys. Also they are managing well with social distancing!SexyAssKellyB

Spent a fun afternoon in the Indiana History Museum before watching a movie at the IMAX. The bottom floor had a number of interesting fossil and animal exhibits while higher floors contained more recent human history. I particularly liked learning about the stone carvers in Bedford and all the geological dig sites in the state. Fun place to explore for a couple of hours. Would recommend for kids and history enthusiasts. Visited on

You can spend a whole day here and not run out of things to do! Plenty of family friendly exhibits. Great for kids. A variety of exhibits from mastodons to motor cars, historical figures, Indiana celebrities, native Americans, Black history and more. We enjoyed our lunch in the cafe. The prices are a little higher, so you may want to eat before you come if you are feeding a family. I highly recommend this museum. Visited on

Beware, if you purchase box seats on the left side of the theater, there is ZERO access to bathrooms. Up four flights of stairs and on the right side of the theater. You'll miss the opening number. I guess it's better than spending $300 per ticket on Hamilton and looking at the back of an old white guy's head for 2.5 hours. Apparently there was a rotating stage… Another bonus: while you go to the bathroom and send your kid to wait in line for 15 minutes for water, they only take cards so you also don't get any water. Three shows in six months at DCPA and I think we're done. 👎👎👎Katie Keltie

Last night we got to see a performance of Choir Boy. The actors themselves were wonderful and the set minimal. It's always interesting how a couple of benches can be shuffled around a stage and you know exactly what space is being depicted. The show has shower scenes that were so elegantly done that the nudity became part of the art. A difficult subject put to the audience and demystified. We have had season tickets since 1986 and look forward to each production.Mimi Platte

I only walked through the huge "atrium" bit. It was breath-taking. The arched skylights, the birds ambiently singing, the ample walking space. I've yet to attend a show here, but the selection was amazing. Many glamor shots were taken.Daniel Pitas

My recent visit to the "Kimmel," as it is passionately referred to, was without exception a wonderful night of music and comfort. The Orchestra played along to the movie "Princess Bride." Obviously exceptional music as the Philly Orchestra is one of the premier collections of classical musicians today. The movie and music production were amazing, along with the technical creativity of playing the music alongside the screen as we watched the movie. One thing of importance for visiting this facility is the exceptional seating throughout. The fluid design and seating throughout give way to ambient excellence in all areas of this venue. I have had the pleasure of numerous visits to this venue and have sat in different levels and stage locations, all have given to great acoustics. If you haven't been in a while, go, sit, listen! A wonderful facility we are so lucky to have in our Philadelphia area!Robert Glennan

The Christmas Concert by the Philadelphia Orchestra at the Kimmel Center was fantastic. It was my first time but it won't be the last. Had excellent seats. In fact I was in Orchestra seating. It my spirit and soul were lifted by the various musical selections of Christmas songs. Thank you to very special young lady who saw to my every need.Jane Victoria Hopkins

Beautiful building with awesome acoustics. With several tiers of seating and orchestra seating there is seating for everyone. Bathroom facilities are clean and line at the box office moved very quickly. Stop by the Encore bar for drinks before it after your show. Will be back for future concerts.Christopher Freer

I am very happy I transferred out of this school. Folks who are considering applying here, please proceed with caution. I strongly urge you to reconsider. I wish somebody had told me the truth about The Theatre School when I was a senior in high school. This conservatory could be of great value to up and coming theatre artists, especially given that Chicago has such a vibrant theatre scene. But due to the uncompromising rules surrounding theatre participation outside of the school (which is not an option for BFA actors and an enormous, often impossible, obstacle for other theatre majors), The Theatre School creates an insular bubble in which students can only grow within the walls of their conservatory. However, if the content of what TTS students were learning daily was as rigorous as promised in orientations and tour guides, experience outside of the classroom would not be as necessary. Sadly, the majority of professors (not all) at TTS are far more interested in lecturing on themselves than on relevant theatre topics. This may be part of the reason why there are such harsh rules surrounding theatre participation outside of the school. Without a captive and naive audience, TTS professors and faculty would be forced to do their jobs of catering to students, rather than themselves. Naturally, given all of these factors, the productions are less than impressive, despite the surplus of talented students. It is very hard to do you best work when the environment is so toxic. It makes me very sad that such a bland and disappointing conservatory resides in Chicago. Unlike elitist faculty at TTS (and some students, because attitudes spread), Chicago theatre artists are some of the most humble, authentic people I have been privileged enough of to work with. I hope that my review does not stop aspiring theatre artists from joining the artistic community here. There are plenty of ways to be involved in theatre in Chicago without wasting tuition money on The Theatre School.Grace Melon

A great place to see both classic and modern plays alike! DePaul produces a high quality theatre program, and many of our alumni have gone on to win Oscar's. So keep an eye on the students on stage, cause you might see them accepting an award next time you see them!Alexandra Beiriger

We shot a wedding in 2021 with the ceremony over at the Wellfield Botanic Gardens and then we ended the night with the reception in the Crystal Ballroom of the Lerner Theatre. The ballroom was large and elegant. Everything ran smoothly and the couple was very pleased with the experience. If you are looking to have your wedding in Elkhart – I would definitely recommend a similar timeline for your day. The ceremony at the gardens was beautiful and it is only a short drive over to the Lerner Theatre. The time that it takes for the guests to drive over is like a built-in portrait session for bride and groom after the ceremony!Clay House Photography

Went to see the Hodge Twins. It was a fantastic experience!! An incredibly beautiful venue was made especially nice by the amazing ushers and employees at the theater. Upon arriving, we were welcomed by every employee we encountered. Patti (Usher) was awesome to talk to, and walked us to our seats. She was so nice. The show was great. The venue, perfect. The staff was a 10 out of 10!!Dana Baker

Saw the whose live show last night. The staff was friendly and the show was great. The two issues were the sound was a bit distorted. The big issue were the seats. They are horrible. Everyone was crammed in. My legs were up by my chest. A major upgrade is neededJeff Prins

The venue itself is absolutely beautiful and very unsuspecting from outside. The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They had complimentary coat check which was a pleasant surprise, and the facility was very clean. The food was catered by the Jazz Kitchen and was good at best, but terribly overpriced. We can't wait to see what other productions they'll have here because we will be back!!Amber Toomer

Awesome first-time experience! Show up early to enjoy food from the Jazz Kitchen. The menu is on their website. Don't expect $7 entrees but do expect great food! Their drinks were fabulous and so was their dessert. It's not as intimate a space as they claim but it is still relatively cozy and they have a delightful lineup.Ryan Wilhite

An absolutely beautiful space and, considering they've only been established in a permanent residence for a year, they're absolutely killing it. Entertainment is top notch and food and drink are delicious. Update: We've been attending shows here for nearly four years now and it's only getting better!Michelle Grove-Shaffer

I have been bringing my preschool classes here for the past 4 years as a part of the Drama Curriculum Infusion Project and it truly is a fantastic place. The actors are so engaging and really amazing with the kids. The Hitchcock Stage upstairs is a small and intimate setting that my students find magical no matter what play is being put on. I adore that audience interaction is encouraged, we all were part of the show and it is so much more meaningful and fun for preschool children!Nicole Sideris

We had a great time seeing 'Sponge Bob, The Musical." Parking was better than expected and as always the staff was friendly and helpful. The costumes were clever and fun, and the stage and directions were well done. Music was also good and sound mixing excellent. Wish it had been live orchestra, but they deserve a break too. Good job all!!!Kate Kuszynski

Love the dedication of the staff and performers. Daughters and wife saw Descendants play last night. Staff let them wait inside after close and checked on them when they came outside. Thank you for keeping my family entertained and safe. Great job everyone. Always an amazing experience.Daniel Hedrick

This is my first trip to Derby dinner Playhouse since the pandemic. We went to see Murder on the Orient express. Of course I know the story and I’ve seen the movie. This was my first time experiencing it in live theater. We got there and we waited in the long short line to be taken to our seats. We had a great view from where we were. And the first item at hand was going to the buffet to get a meal. I really appreciated that they maintained hygiene protocols with the buffet. There were plastic gloves that you put on so that way everyone could touch the tongues without exposing themselves to other germs. The salad bar was fantastic and the hot meal line was great. They also had a condiment bar at the end for your butter, hot sauce, ketchup etc that you might need for your meal. As a vegetarian, I still had plenty of options with sides and the pasta & pesto. A server came around to all of our tables, got us drinks and some cocktails. There were even some themed cocktails for the show. I got the Orient Express which was very tasty. There was also some delicious desserts. Our server was attentive and kind. The show started, it was definitely a unique appearance. The actor playing Hercule Poirot was perfect. He had the accent down and the show was so incredibly well done with the flashbacks and the stage setup. You truly felt like you were on a train. This was the first time I realized the connection to the Lindbergh case with this story. It was truly well done, and we are planning out next opportunity to go to Derby dinner for another show!Mona T

We went for A Christmas Story and this was my first time going here. It was wonderful! Everyone has to wear a glove to go through the buffet which made me feel safer and everyone has to keep a mask on when they are not eating or drinking. For this particular show they had ramps set up, but you can call and ask if they have them set up for a certain show. This was relevant to us because we had an elderly woman in our party with a walker. I will say, however, that the ramps are very steep and she needed help to get up and down them, so just take that into consideration. When there are not ramps there are only three steps at each level so some people with limited mobility might still be able to make that work. They also do have seating on the uppermost level where one would not have to use the stairs and would still have a great view of the stage. The food was tasty and all the actors did a great job! Our server (I wish I could remember his name, he was a very tall dark skinned gentleman) was WONDERFUL! He made sure that our table had everything we needed at all times. Also, just to try and cover all the bases, there was plenty of time to use the restroom and get back to the table at intermission because, unlike some other entertainment venues, they have plenty of stalls in the restroom. Also, their restrooms are clean and they have a cute little gift shop 🙂 We will definitely be going back!Margaret Madden

I just left the show. And I am still smiling! I just love this place! The service is over the top wonderful. We had decided to try to upgrade our tickets at the last minute and they were very accommodating and very friendly about it too. So my daughter and I got to have a table by ourselves. We saw Steel Magnolias. It was so beautifully done! The actors were right on with each of the characters. They got laughs at all of the right spots and equally got the tears in all of the right spots. And the service was exceptional! I believe our server's name was William or possibly Williams. He made sure that we had everything we needed to make our experience fun and comfortable. And the Footnotes pre-show was also excellent. It was very entertaining the way they let us know about upcoming shows. Shows that I definitely do not want to miss! Thank you all so very much for such a wonderful experience! This was my Mother's Day gift and now stands as my annual Mother's Day gift….. And birthday gift….. And Christmas gift! *And also…. The food was excellent! 😋diane

The "no guns allowed" sign is quite a deterrent for a professional like myself. As both a physician and pharmacist, I am used to the responsibility of protecting myself, loved ones, and patrons of my business, by legally exercising my right to carry a concealed firearm. It is ridiculous that a venue such as this puts up virtue signaling signs like that because they have zero effect on reducing the crazy person who comes in to kill people, yet inconvenience honest law-abiding and peaceful people, and in fact reduce the odds that someone who is a law abiding peaceful person could actually stop some kind of crazy person who obviously will completely ignore the useless virtue signaling signs. I will not return until the take down such ridiculous signage.Andrew Johnstone

Incredible place to watch a concert. Very classy, brand new and modern state of the art facility, yet architecturally comes off as classic and grand. Great structure, and Incredible acoustics. The best sound I've heard at a concert. Its fairly small and couldn't imagine there would be a bad seat in the house, but, I was lucky enough to be on floor and right up front at Amy Lees opening to her orchestrated version of her latest album. Great separate area for merchandise, drink stands right outside of area, and very nice and clean, in general. Well managed, with a great staff. Probably my favorite place to have watched a concert at yet. Highly recommend any chance one might get to see someone perform here !Robert Hobbs

Lovely concert venue, feels like New York Broadway, Chicago thestre hall full sound experience with overhanging spearkers. Three box seat tiers and cozy, would visit again. As for Vanessa Williams, she certainly did the building justice comparably elegant and worthy performer. Every note sung was pure and powerful.H. Yee

Having attended a very small, rural high school system in SW Indiana, I was very nervous when it was time for my daughter to go to WCHS. However, the Rich Shepler administration has an amazing group of teachers who keep the peace and incredibly fertile learning environment intact for all student families who choose to make the most of this 4 year opportunity. Thankfully, my daughter chose to take all the available AP classes, aced them all despite incredible turbulence created by her noninvolved father and managed to get a full scholarship to another stellar Hoosier educational institution–Ball State U. Thank you, Rich Shepler et al. It does take a great village/school to raise a great kiddo! 🙂annette moore

Worst display of sportsmanship from a fan base that I have ever seen. After the semi-state game, the fans approached our fan section and was flipping us off. The students and fans rushed the floor before our players had a chance to shake hands and exit the floor. But the worst was a student shoving Romeo in the back. I had my 13 year old son and was nervous about how intense the situation was getting. I think the Seymour and the WC administrations should have done more to digress the situation.Susan Graston

Warren Central High School is not as bad as everybody make! Warren is just like any other high school according to the fighting! Drama etc. Warren is one of the best at sports and were also making large progress with our learning. I am a student at warren central and i like it our teachers and administrators and guards are very caring. You shouldn't be scared to send your child to warren!kierra hankerson

Beef & Boards is a Dinner Theater located on the north side of Indianapolis. It has been around for many years providing great value and entertainment to many generations. Last night was our first time back since the COVID-19 outbreak. We were not disappointed! We enjoyed "The Sound of Music" immensely! The production, lighting and actors and actresses were very, very good! Our dinner, dessert, drinks and Server were fantastic! Thanks for taking care of us Heather! You were great and we hope to see you again soon! Thanks for suggesting the California Red Rock wine! We are scheduled already for "The Phantom of the Opera" in November and looking at the Christmas showtimes as well! I would highly recommend Beef and Boards to anyone as it is great evening for young (minimum age 3) and old and one of the best entertainment values in Indianapolis area! Thanks again for a great time!Kim Finn

What a wonderful local theatre this is. I’m so glad that Covid didn’t shut it down. It is a great value for the money. They clearly invest most of their budget in the performers and the performances, which is great. The standard of performance from my perspective is very high. The food is like a buffet from the 1970s, and they seem to purposely exclude desserts from it so that people will buy them. Also, Service can be a bit lax in terms of water and coffee refills etc. But that is all part of a retro musical theater experience, which you won’t find many places these days. The house is usually packed, and it is a wonderful local institution. I hope that they never go out of business.John Johnson

Dinner and a show! Arrive to have dinner(or lunch) served buffet style. They options change depending on the show so look online to see the menu. Usually two or three main entrees. A few side options to go with them. They will also have a salad bar and a few small things such as pudding and fruit. They usually give two hours to eat and then they put the food up so that you can watch the show. They have waiters that will bring you drinks. Water, lemonade and tea are included with the purchase. Refills were fast. You may order a dessert that will come at intermission. Just a great place. The performance of Mary Poppins was great and the food was just as good.Justin Walters

More people need to spread the word on this amazing theater! We volunteer here and get to see so many fabulous plays. Great actors, great management, friendly ushers. You don't want to miss the new Phoenix Theatre or its season of plays on two stages – one large, one small. Plus they can host any event with their extra space. They also feature local artists in their gallery space. You won't regret your experience!Eve Keller

Came all the way from Germany and just saw "Bakersfield Mist". After the show was one curtain only. Way too less to appropriately value the performance. A very intelligently written play and a wonderful actress and actor who turned this into an inspiring and entertaining event. For all art lovers and people lovers definitely a must see. I give some extra curtains and hope the applause echos to this great cast.Manuel Jork

I was lucky enough to be part of a tour last night showing off this lovely old theater. Our guide could not have been friendlier and his love for the space was easy to understand. There are two theater spaces that are small, intimate, and nicely maintained. You will want to get there a bit early to find parking but I easily found a free spot a few blocks away.Zackary Prince

I highly recommend the International Talent Academy! Not only was my daughter so excited to go to their theatre class every week and tell me all about it after, but she learned real skills that she took away and applied to other things she does. She memorizes like a pro and works so much better in a group setting now! We are getting ready to sign up again and all she can talk about is creating her character for the show, it's so fun to watch her imagination flourish.Teresa Appel

Tatyana put together a private etiquette class for my son and 10 of his friends. She was able to truly engage a large group of rambunctious boys, teach them a great deal of useful information and help them have fun along the way. Tatyana will work with you to make sure your children are learning exactly what you need them to learn. I highly recommend ITA!DVS “GooGooGaGa300” DVS

It was so special to work on this musical project together with my daughter. She felt such pride in her performance and I was so impressed she had the courage to sing in front of a large crowd. She learned confidence and discipline while having lots of fun. I am grateful for Rising Star to have this treasured memory of sharing a stage with my daughter.Katherine Nagy

I made an appointment to have my Jeep Grand Cherokee (under warranty) to be looked at because the radio was not working properly & the gas tank was not filling properly. I had to wait 6 weeks for them to fit me in. I dropped off my car on the scheduled day at the scheduled time. It sat there for 3 days before a tech even looked at it. I had to check on it several times as I was not getting any regular communication from the repair department. They finally determined after 3 days that I needed a new radio. They were not able to diagnose the gas tank issue, but said to bring it in empty & they would try again. I waited another 2 weeks (having to follow up myself due to poor communication) for the radio to come in. I arrived today to have the radio installed & the gas tank diagnosed again. They told me the radio was fixed, but before I even left the dealership it was dialing SOS on it's own. They looked at it again, made some adjustment & now say it's fixed. It's too early to say if it really is. The gas tank again they were not able to diagnose, yet charged me a diagnostic fee with no diagnosis. This is an extremely frustrating situation as the same problem is documented all over the internet as being an issue. The service person actually told me to wait until I couldn't put gas in it at all to bring it back. I found that extremely irresponsible. The car is under warranty now. I feel like they are just putting me off until it isn't under warranty any longer. I also feel like they are not taking my concerns seriously & trying to take advantage of me being a single female coming in with concerns. I have purchased three Jeeps from this dealership & now no longer feel comfortable shopping here. I would not recommend anyone purchasing a vehicle from this dealership, as the after service is unsatisfactory. Interesting that 3 days later after they responded that they will look into it there has been no contact or attempt to rectify the situation.Jennifer Demmary

I leased my 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee at Tom O’Brien in 2019. I live about an hour from the dealership. I called to make an appointment for an oil change and to look for a vibration noise I have had for quite a while. I was told the next available appointment would be in two weeks at 9:15am. I agreed and arrived at 9:00 for the appointment. I was told it would be a long wait. I asked how long and was told 1 1/2 – 2 hours to do the job. My car stayed in line for an hour and five minutes and still was not in a service bay. I felt that if they are making appointments two weeks in advance they should have been able to accommodate my service time better. I went out to check and it was still there. I told them I couldn’t wait any longer for them to start as it was evident that the work would not be completed in their estimated time. They apologized and asked me if I wanted to make another appointment. I told them I had made an appointment this time and why would I want to make another? I told them no thanks and I would not be back.Fred Henderson

I don't even know how to sum up all the chaos and failure. My wife's car had corrosion problems that were supposed to be fixed under warranty. The whole process took about a year. Appointments did not take place several times, there were no callbacks, … Finally there was an appointment and a repair was carried out (or rather attempted, if you look at the result) and this unfortunately more than inadequate. Unfortunately, Tom O'Brien does not seem to have a final inspection or quality control, otherwise it would not be possible for vehicles to leave the workshop in such a poor condition. Even when an oil change was carried out on my own RAM, there were discrepancies because the oil filter was not replaced and I had to go back. It's just a shame that you have to lose so much of your precious life time through poor work and mistakes. Even giving one is unfortunately still too much for our experience.Holger Kaffenberger
