The home number given at time of application is a land line with an answering machine number verified with Mr. Perry on my visitt to the Westminster dealership. No messages where left. Also my email address was on file and I sent an email to Mr. Perry with no response. I received my check with correct amount of refund due me on 6/24/26, with no direct contact with me.

We take customer concerns seriously, but we disagree with several statements in this review. Regarding the additional key, our records do not indicate that a second key was included in the sale. We understand this may be frustrating, but we strive to accurately represent what is provided with every vehicle. When the vehicle experienced issues, we arranged to have it brought to our service department and kept it until the necessary work was completed. Throughout that process, multiple members of our team worked to address the concerns that were reported. As for the title paperwork, DMV processing can involve multiple steps and requirements. We worked to provide the documentation needed and would have welcomed the opportunity to review the notice with you to help resolve any outstanding issues. We regret that your experience did not meet your expectations. However, we believe this review does not fully reflect the efforts our staff made to assist you. If you would like to discuss any unresolved concerns, please contact management directly.
