My car I Purchased blew a head gasket in 40 minutes. I bought a car from Ali, I got it 40 minutes down the road to have the engine blow on me , they then took the car back for repair which took over a mo I bought a car from Ali, I got it 40 minutes down the road to have the engine blow on me , they then took the car back for repair which took over a month to do. He barely kept in touch with me about my car and or it being repaired so after almost 2 weeks of all my calls and texts being ignored I payed someone to drive me back to Tampa to see if my car was ready at all only to find out that it had not even been started even though they had the new engine to put in it within the first week they had it. This was my first car I had ever bought that was not a private sale and after seeing the good reviews I thought I could trust him. After everything, the used engine he had found for the car got put in at this sketchy little engine shop in Tampa. Drove fine for about 2 days until it started misfiring, I took it to a shop but when I got there it was no longer misfiring but the service engine soon light was on, he cleared the misfire code and I took it back to his dealership they told me to replace the ignition coils and spark plugs. I did just that, I payed $800 for the new coil and plug pack plus labor costs and diagnosis fees. The mechanics that replaced the engine said they chose the best coils and plugs from the 2 engines and swapped them out but at the shop I had gotten them replaced and fixed at you could very clearly tell that the engine came out of a flood car the spark plugs looked like they were sitting in water for a long time. Now after replacing that my car is leaking out antifreeze and will not stop, and the dealership will not help. I was taken advantage of at this dealership, he could tell I was excited to buy my first car and totally ripped me off. Now I’m stuck on the side of road in Florida and of course he still ignores my calls. The one good person that works there is Edward his mechanic who I should never have had to contact him but luckily I did manage to get his number, as he was the only one that knew what was going on with my car. Ali doesn’t seem to care about his customers anymore once you leave his car lot, it’s not his problem. Nothing but bad service from him so far. Don’t trust him. Don’t trust the 3-4 guys that walk around speaking Spanish to each other and then all bombard you with different answers or solutions to questions you may have. Very disappointed with my car that I got from this dealership, would never recommend buying even a toothpick from this dealership. Save yourself the stress I’m under, don’t go here. More

They failed to report water damage Had to purchase car online due to distance. They failed to report: *Exhaust leak *Car had previously been flooded (massive water damage) *Turn si Had to purchase car online due to distance. They failed to report: *Exhaust leak *Car had previously been flooded (massive water damage) *Turn signals do not work *Check engine light was on (Ali lied to me and said it wasn't) * dings and scratches on the car (description said car was free of all visibile dings) Overall, the car was listed in good condition, and I noticed some flaws that I brought up, and forced them to address, however they hid most of the flaws. Upon purchasing the car, they made me sign a contract that said they are not responsible for providing legitimate descriptions of cars. That's like getting on a boat and signing a contract that you're not guaranteed a boat that will float. I will NEVER purchase from them again. They made the car buying experience xxxx and refused to facilitate shipping, forcing me to go at it alone, with the only dealer support being a fuzzy photo of a brokerage. I can't even begin to fix the car because I can't get in the xxxx thing without becoming very sick due to my lung problems! DO NOT BUY FROM THIS DEALERSHIP. THERE ARE BETTER DEALS OUT THERE. THEY SELL WATER DAMAGED CARS AS "CLEAR TITLE" "GOOD CONDITION" AND DON'T SUPPORT YOU AFTER THEY GET THEIR MONEY. More
