Ed Rinke Chevrolet Buick GMC

I was greeted when I entered the lot with a smile and a handshake. I was asked what type of car was I interested in and at that time I explained that I wanted to see an 2010 Impala. He asked about what col handshake. I was asked what type of car was I interested in and at that time I explained that I wanted to see an 2010 Impala. He asked about what colors and features. I explained what accessories I wanted and we found an Impala on the lot that worked for me. I took a test drive, it's a Impala after all and it had a smooth transmission. He explained gas mileage, features and after driving it for a while I came back and he gave me his business card. I came back three days later and negotiated a reasonable price with all the accessories I wanted. The salesperson was friendly, non-aggressive and very helpful. I had an excellent experience and would recommend this dealership to anyone. More

My Cash for Clunkers experience with this dealership has been a disaster. I was not given my new car in exchange for my old one, in violation of the Clunkers law, and have been waiting for almost a month. been a disaster. I was not given my new car in exchange for my old one, in violation of the Clunkers law, and have been waiting for almost a month. I call them frequently and am told they are not releasing cars until they get paid by the government. Meanwhile, I already got a survey from Pontiac Customer Relations asking if I'm enjoying my new Vibe (which I still don't have). I also contacted the NHTSA from cars.gov (the official government site)as well as my local TV channel's "problem-solvers." I don't blame the salesman because he's just an employee but he's given us these useless "you'll hear something in a few days" stories repeatedly. We see "clunkers" parked at dealerships around the city, we know 2 people whose deals went through immediately, and read in the papers about other dealers running out of new vehicles due to this CARS rebate. What's wrong with this Ed Rinke Pontiac? He's got to be losing money; his lot is full of these cars (which are promised to people like me) and he seems to be outright stating that he doesn't trust our government to repay him. I would definitely go somewhere else but now I'm afraid that my CARS rebate would be voided and I'd lose out on any incentives (which I don't even know if they're still going to honor since it's been so long!)

This dealer joined the CARS (cash for clunkers) program, which not all dealers had to join, and refuses to sell cars by the rules of the program. The program clearly states if you find a car on their lot a which not all dealers had to join, and refuses to sell cars by the rules of the program. The program clearly states if you find a car on their lot and it qualifies and your trade-in-clunker qualifies, the customer gets to drive home that same day with their new car. The only thing that would depend on that is if it is too late to get insurance or the loan, which in case you could drive home the very next day. We have been waiting for a month to take delivery on our new car, which is against the program rules. We signed a purchase agreement and they input into the computer all of our information about our old (clunker) and new car, infact GM already has us listed as the owner of our new car and it's not even in our driveway. I want people to know that they can call NHTSA reporting dealer hotline, The CARS hotline, the Better Business Bureau, The Attorney General. You can find all of these numbers on the internet. I went as far as to get GM involved, The Senator, and e-mailed the Whitehouse. GM has been very helpful in trying to investigate the problem and my bad review has nothing to do with them, GM stands by their products and customer service, my dispute and bad review is against the Dealer and Dealer only!! The salesmanger Dennis Thacker was very rude, along with the second owner in charge Fred Rinke and the main owner in charge Edgar Rinke. I went in and demanded our car by the next day and told them if not I would report them. I also had them make a copy of all paperworked signed, so I had proof of their selling practices and violations. The next day when we went to go pick up our car, everyone was very pleasant as we were waiting patiently, only to have the main owner come up to us in a nice manner and ask us nicely to go outside to speak, so we did, only to be surprised by the police and to have the owner Edgar Rinke yelling at us in the parking lot. I have never felt so uncomfortable and embarrassed like I did that day. He made us feel like criminals. I don't know why the police were called, we were never asked to leave when we arrived, and we never made any physical or harming threat. I only threatened to report them and that I have the government and the law on my side. More

In 20 years of purchasing GM vehicles, I have never experienced such deceitfulness, lack of integrity and discourtesy in both sales people and the owner. The “Pull Ahead” program allowed me to get out experienced such deceitfulness, lack of integrity and discourtesy in both sales people and the owner. The “Pull Ahead” program allowed me to get out of a lease early; unfortunately, by the time I took delivery of the vehicle, that program had expired. Even more regrettable is that this fact was not disclosed to me upon signing the paperwork and receiving the vehicle. I had no reason to believe there was any problem until 6 months later, when GMAC began contacting me for almost $1,000 due to “early termination” of the lease. After contacting the dealership for an explanation of this problem, I was given the run-around and lied to repeatedly. Mr. Dennis Thacker made up a story about a certificate (that I never possessed) and blamed the dealership that I had previously dealt with. The owner Mr. Fred Rinke, was both rude and condescending when he told me there was nothing he could do to help me with this fiasco. I will never deal with this dealership again, and for anyone that chooses to, please be aware of the dishonesty and lack of professionalism you will most likey encounter. More
