Nightmare - Ghostblack305

this car dealership was a nightmare, I purchased the car and two weeks later white thick smoke was coming out the engine, and the water resevoir was bubbling hot, I took it back and they said they would fix it over the weekend. Once we got the car back a week later same problems. Once again they said they fixed the problem. We took the car to a mechanic he said the bottom of the car was all rusted out and it comes from up North and was probably stuck in snow or submerged in water. when the problem happened again I went back there it was a sign on the gate they were closed for two weeks and was waiting to get more inventory, came back in two weeks still closed. Now it's a new company, they just up and disappeared. Scandalous and horrible if it was a rating lower than 1 star they would get it, this should be illegal and they should be out of business permanently. Let's start fighting back and expose the names of these people.

I purchased a car from VIP Auto Enterprise about 3 months - tristanprice89

I purchased a car from VIP Auto Enterprise about 3 months ago. On February 2nd, I experienced a tire blowout. When replacing the tire at a 24-hour shop, I discovered that the rim had a crack which someone had attempted to “repair” with JB Weld steel putty. This is not a safe or professional repair for a wheel. When I went back to the dealership on February 4th to request information on the tire installation and an inspection record, I was told they do not have any inspection reports, invoices, or tire shop records. In fact, I was told they do not inspect their vehicles at all before sale. When I raised my concerns about the unsafe condition of the vehicle and requested the rim be replaced, the staff not only refused to address the issue but also threatened to have me trespassed for being upset about the situation. This dealership knowingly sold me an unsafe vehicle, and their customer service has been unprofessional and hostile when presented with a very real safety issue. I cannot recommend them to anyone—buyers should be extremely cautious. i as a customer should not have to look for deceptive "repairs"

"Highway Robbery in a Suit — A Warning About Brickell - doranertek

"Highway Robbery in a Suit — A Warning About Brickell Motors" There is no greater stupidity than willful ignorance—seeing the deception, feeling the consequences, and still pretending it’s all normal. That’s exactly what Brickell Motors preys on: customers who don’t question the fine print. Let me be crystal clear: this dealership is engaging in deceptive, unethical, and potentially illegal practices, hiding behind a polished showroom full of six-figure vehicles to justify predatory fees. They push charges that have no legal basis, then falsely claim they are mandated by Florida law — a blatant lie. Here’s what I was quoted for a $38,000 vehicle: PermaPlate (paint protection for your license plate?) – $799 BLM Certification (meaningless internal prep fee) – $1,895 Government fees – $1,030 (not itemized, suspiciously inflated) Doc/Processing fee – $1,145 Sales tax – $1,709 (the only legitimate fee) Grand total? Nearly $45,000 for a $38,000 car. That’s a $7,000 markup for nothing of value. When I challenged these fees, I was told, arrogantly, “That’s how high-end dealers operate.” Sorry, but deception is not a luxury feature. The young salesman, Harvey, had the nerve to boast that “plenty of stupid people don’t even check the final numbers and still buy.” He even tried to play the hero by offering a $500 discount—like it was some grand favor. Newsflash: your entire fee structure is a scam. From sales to management, the culture at Brickell Motors reeks of arrogance, indifference, and a complete lack of professionalism. They are not there to understand your needs or work with integrity. They are there to extract every dollar they can from unsuspecting buyers. Let me tell you how this ended: I bought the exact same car from an authorized, reputable dealer, with zero junk fees and a two-year certified warranty included—the way it should be. Final advice: Don’t be one of the “stupid” customers they brag about. Do your homework. Call their bluff. Walk away. And above all, don’t feed the wolves running this showroom.

Bad Deal! - BillyJoeJimBob

Son went to purchase a family car from this business, and arrived with family in tow. So Salesman sells him a "muscle car" never disclosing and never asking about insurance or driving record. The next day, when trying to obtain insurance for the car, we discovered the insurance was nearly as much as the car payment. The dealer new, or should have known, that insurance for that car would have been extremely expensive for a male driver in their mid to late 20s, yet they failed to disclose that. The dealership use pressure to convince and secure a sale that was contrary to the benefit of all parties. The dealership had opportunities to provide a fair and equitable exchange vehicles, but they chose to take advantage of the situation and maximize profit at the expense of the customer. During the vehicle exchange they bought the car back for substantially less than it was purchased. They offered little or no discount on the exchange car offering us an opportunity to take a hit on both the front end and the back, a double whammy! When we questioned them about the numbers about discounts etc. they moved numbers around to make it look as if they were offering a deal, LOL. They were offering a deal, a bad one. It certainly was a lesson learned. But nevertheless a bad deal. We will not purchase another vehicle from "certified nationwide".

Promises were made and never made it on paper. Walk away... - vinnye7

Promises were made and never made it on paper. Walk away people. Made me wait 2hrs to sign paperwork and they tried to rush the paperwork in front of me to get me out the door. Kept apologizing at how long i was waiting. Old tactic but still effective. Make sure you do your homework before you purchase the vehicle you want. Dont just sign because you got approved. In the long run, you want it to be to your benefit not theirs. They make their money which ever way, but just dont make it anymore extra then they want.

They should be in jail but, they are pretty slick with - rstpetersburg7

They should be in jail but, they are pretty slick with their deceptive ways. Bought a car two years ago took it for evaluation and took it back. Traded for another car and took that to be evaluated and it had approx. $2300. for repairs told Mirabella I would have it repaired and they said "oh no cheaper for us to have it done" so Dean came to my house and picked up the car and left the other car that I had taken back as the loaner while the car was being repaired. I NEVER saw that car again or my license plate. After hiring a private investigator and atty and getting the Tampa police involved I found out they sold the car on Ebay. The Tampa police detective told me that because they had not signed my Bill of Sale which was a "slight of hand" that she could not arrest them. So, they titled the car that was the original car that I took back to them without my knowing it and one day the forged title shows up in my mail. The Tampa police told me that deceptive practice was common for them and Tallahassee had many claims against them. So, I was not successful in putting them in jail and the current title that I do have has fraud attached to it because it was fraud but, I need to get that released as this is the only car I have and I paid $30,000 cash and can't get my title freed. The woman at DMV says "when you go to the dealership to trade just have them call the fraud dept they will release the title????" What...I need this title now and have waited for the DMV to release it and they know full well the complete story. they are now unresponsive. I have a police detective, private investigator and all my paperwork but, I am getting no where and this has been a nightmare. I would love to make them pay....frustrated...

The staff is helpful but the owners don't care about... - alisa.thomas40

The staff is helpful but the owners don't care about their customers. I was sold a lemon. It has issues with the transmission, ac, belt, computer and the radiator. I asked them to make it right and put me in another vehicle. I was told I would have to make another down payment and add the remainder of my original loan on top of that. Not to mention the vehicle I purchased was listed at over $7000 and was only worth $2000. Do not buy a car here unless you want to overpay & have your vehicle break down before it is paid off. Update They sell lemons and have you pay extra for the warranty. The only problem with that is they refuse to honor their warranties. Good luck if you decide to purchase a car here. You will def be disappointed.

Franz is a terrible business owner and will do anything - Karen

Franz is a terrible business owner and will do anything to leverage money to put you in the red. Buyer beware!!!

Did a remote buy and relied on the Sales Agent Chris to - NCBuyer

Did a remote buy and relied on the Sales Agent Chris to accurately describe the car. Upon arrival it had paint blemishes that weren't corrected as promised or identified. Wheels had rash that wasn't identified. Dash had warning lights that weren't disclosed. Car had 1/4 tank of gas. I think they focus on the higher priced cars and don't care about the customer buying lower priced cars. No response to my issues. Won't buy from there again.

John is incredible. - samsmcconnell

John is incredible. Excellent service. I’ll send friends and family to your dealership because of John’s outstanding service.

False advertising added $6,000 in fees horrible treatment... - Nymike060810

False advertising added $6,000 in fees horrible treatment nasty attitude all the 5 star reviews are FAKE! They lied and tried to steal $6000 more than the listed price! extremely rude and unprofessional!! Changed the listing price of 10,999 to over $16,000 waited till AFTER I paied to have it added to my insurance to say anything. He said on his website there was $2999 in fees so I guess that means he was just trying to pocket $2000?, kept walking away during the sale, said it was his car, he put alot of work and money into it even though there was a flat tire, broken rear gate, evap leak, bad catalytic converter(I scanned it with obd2 dtc scanner) I drove over 6 hours from PA with a baby and a pregnant wife to be lied to and disrespected by a greesy slimeball hustler conman, I could tell as soon as I pulled up he had an attitude problem, he even cursed at and threatened my wife! I've purchased alot of cars and it was never more than 500-600 dollars to have it registered and fees! I'm disgusted and furious!! to lie

Amazing Service in N. West Palm - hunter18

After being totally exhausted by every car dealer in Vero I found After Lease Auto and they worked with my cheerfully, happily, and after closing time as I didn't arrive until 5. The whole team made the experience a pleasant one. Love my "new to me" car and will definitely recommend them to anyone who needs a vehicle. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another car there although hopefully not for a few years yet!

If you have all the time in the world to waste. - Astropig

If you have all the time in the world to waste...You've found the perfect dealer.These guys are FANTASTIC about not answering phones,texts or emails. Truly exceptional personal contempt for walk in customers. I don't believe that this is a real,operating business...if it was,they would have shut down years ago.More likely,its a front for one of the Miami area's shadier criminal enterprises.A storefront and a few junk cars out front give them the appearance of a real (shady) used car lot. Thank goodness they would not return my calls or texts or emails.I found a very well cared for used car of the same model for less money with a nice,reputable dealer a few miles away.

I recently purchased a 2017 Ford F-150 from CarMax - Sanford_Proud

I recently purchased a 2017 Ford F-150 from CarMax Sanford, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The salesperson Devin was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. He was incredibly knowledgeable, and patient, and genuinely cared about helping me find the perfect truck. Devin made everything so easy and stress-free. The vehicle financing process was very smooth, and the transaction speed was impressive. The final vehicle pricing was explained clearly, and my trade-in experience was excellent. The quality of the dealership's service center is very important to me, and CarMax Sanford did not disappoint. If you're shopping for a vehicle, I highly recommend asking for Devin specifically. He will take great care of you!

I had purchased a 2006 Nissan Altima SE-R from this... - altimator06

I had purchased a 2006 Nissan Altima SE-R from this dealership a year ago. Due to my credit, my payment was almost $400 a month. I was told that atfer 12 on time payments I could come back and refinance. Ona recent visit I saw that Car port Sales and Leasing was at a new location on Semoran Blvd in Winter Park, under new management as well. John and Lisa were very friendly and happy to help me. And thanks to them, I was refinanced through CFE Credit Union and they were able to get $100 a month taken off my car payment making it much more affordable. John is a great guy and is willing to bend over backwards to help you get a good deal. Definitely will recommend

Glad for refund - Curvin

We bought an 08 Chevrolet pickup through Ebay from this dealer in mid-December. They did not deliver the pickup due to title issues and after a month gave us a partial refund. We exchanged many emails and a few phone calls but they did not send the rest of the refund. After two months the Ebay Auction Insurance Company refunded the $7,000 Motorcars of Tampa Bay owed us, for which we are thankful. The entire transaction was online. After this we will go to a dealership when buying a vehicle.

Awesome Buying Experience - swsimmons

Dropped by Nations Trucks on Saturday, February 23, 2019, looking to possibly purchase a Truck. Arrived around 2, looked around, found the one I'd actually been looking for, for nearly a year! Took a test drive, made one offer and I NOW HAVE AN AWESOME TRUCK in my driveway! All-in-all about a 2 1/2 hour process. If you're in the market for a pre-owned truck, you simply HAVE TO GO TO NATIONS TRUCKS in Sanford, Florida. Our salesperson was Robert, and he couldn't have been more friendly, courteous or professional. In fact, the ENTIRE staff was amazing! All the way from Big Country (what an inspirational life he's living), to the General Manager (hope you didn't get in trouble for that awesome deal) to even the Finance Manager. AWESOME selection, AWESOME location & AWESOME people. You can't go wrong! We're absolutely and completely pleased & satisfied with our Nations Trucks Truck. Blessings, Gunny & Izzy

Had a low speed collision at a stop sign less than one... - Rod4life

Had a low speed collision at a stop sign less than one year ago; sun toyota had the car for two weeks to repair/replace the rear bumper,trunk lid, and a cracked light. The paint job was obnoxious (paint runoff, debris embedded within paint, imperfections every inch you look). Still had a dent in bumper. Had the surprise of plastic clips literally spring out of trunk the first time opened. Noticed a bolt hanging down out of place on undercarriage cover, further inspection revealed they had broken the plastic. Even noticed a very oddly shaped dent in drivers door that appears as if they had attempted some degree of repair. All very disappointing but we had the car back and didn't want to bother with it. Well less than one year later the poor paint job began to literally fall off the car; unacceptable and pathetic obviously so we called our insurance. Sadly sun toyota collision center took the car the next week to fix the issue. 6 days later we get a call saying the cars ready. First noticed the paint job is still pathetic (bubbles and debris throughout), drive down the street to notice we now have no turn/brake light (too difficult i guess to reconnect such an important safety feature). We also now have a nice new deep scratch running diagonally on the exterior side of drivers window. Final conclusion is they provide lazy pathetic work (not just once, twice even on a return due to poor work) and will cause extra damage to your vehicle. Ive had much nicer work done at maaco. Please stay away and if you have no choice pay very good attention to your vehicle before and after, if they are consistently doing this to my ride it's not a fluke. They begged and begged for only a 5star review the first time, gladly decided not to review until now.

How refreshing! - tct

How refreshing! Tomlinson Motor Company had the best cars at the best prices, and the prices were the actual prices listed on sites- no added fees of any kind. What a breath of fresh air shopping with them.

Deceiving, scammmers, waste of time, and listen to the 1 - Time Saver

Deceiving, scammmers, waste of time, and listen to the 1 star reviews. Avoid these guys at all costs. They listed a 2014 HONDA CRV with 58,000 miles. I talk to a guy named Tony from here. I go to take a 2 hour ride to the dealer as I called Tony before as he said oh yeah cars here. I will set you guys a appointment just come. We get there and this place is doing business in a small trailer. There's over 20 customers here. I go in here with my mother and tell a woman Tony set a appointment for us. She said Tony is our internet salesman he's not here right now. I ask if the HONDA CRV is here. The woman oh if it's here it be at that spot. I go out and it's not there. My mother talking to the woman as she asks oh did you see it online? Oh it may be the cars still getting here or it's already sold. The woman asks what color was it. Mom said white and that woman said oh those pictures may be a car that looks like the same car but it may not be that car listed. We get in our car immediately and call Tony once again. His assistant says oh he's out on lunch he's with his family. So not only did we waste 2 hours driving here, Tony lied about that car being there, he also is helping to scam people on the website from that dealer and I put in a big complaint to cancel these guys from ever selling on cars.com at least. I haven't heard anything at all since but please listen to me. This is as of March 2022. DO NOT DO BUSINESS OR LET THEM EVEN TALK TO YOU! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
