My Review Of Northtown Resale Centre:
I bought a used car seversal month ago at northtown resale center. Since I was a bigginer, I believed the dealer. Yes, it was my responsibility because I signed all the documents. I konw that used car may have some problems. However, the dealer should carefully explain the problems to their customers. This is their duty and their moral responsibility. However, he explained only good things.and I believed. My mistake is that I trusted the dealer. After one month, I found some serious safety problems with brakes and bearings on the way to go somewhere. I called the dealer because it was an emergency situation. But the dealer didn't take necessary actions. I visited and called the dealer several times but the dealer didn't take any actions. Finally, I've changed two brakes and just one bearing for the price of $760 at the dealership. It was too expensive but I had no option but to change it there because I couldn't drive the car. Yes, I had a 90 days warranty based on the lemon law. But the law does not works at this dealership because they interpret the law in their own ways. After chage the brakes I found the rattling sound coming from the brake that I have changed. And I fixed it there. I cannot believe the fact that the weird sound came from the new brake. That's why I don't trust them. There are still a lot of problems and I already spent more than $1,500 to fix the problems. I have a lot of friend who are UB students. Now I usually tell them 'don't go there, and don't buy your car there.' I will keep preventing my friends and people around me from going their because I don't want them to experience the same things. Even I will keep sharing this information through a lot of UB students community websites. I got so stressed, wasted a lot of time and money because of the dealership. As I mentioned, I know it was my responsibility because I made a contract and signed. But what I really feel unpleasant is that they didn't carefully explain every problems, especially safety problems, to me when I first buy the car. And they didn't try to carefully listen to their customer. When they sold the car, they were really kind. But after I found the problem, they totally changed their attitude. Yes, you can buy car their. But what I want to say to you is 'Never trust them!!!' You should carefully check all of the problems by yourself before you buy the car. And if you find a problem after you buy a car, don't go to the dealership service. You cannot expect that they will fix it even though the problem is covered by the lemon law. They will try to make 'proper' excuse. And if you fix your car there, you should pay a lot of money. You should pay 'double.' There are a lot of more skillful and honest maintenance shops in Buffalo. Don't waste time, money, and afforts. The dealership is untrustworthy. It was the worst experience ever!!!
