Blasius Pre-Owned Auto

READ THIS BEFORE YOU BUY A CAR HERE! I don't even know where to start because there are so many bad things I could write about so I will try to use a bullet point format. 1. Hidden Fees I don't even know where to start because there are so many bad things I could write about so I will try to use a bullet point format. 1. Hidden Fees - $1,000 for a Stargard 'theft recovery' GPS which my insurance company (Travelers) told me was useless and gave me no break on my insurance.. $400 for 'accident avoidance' which involved making the middle brake light flash, and they actually never installed it on my car, but still charged me for it!. 2. Dealer Conveyance of $997 which is so crazy on a $29K car, and certainly among the highest, if not the highest in Connecticut 3. Sales guy had the Auto Check report on his screen (but would not print it out) and he told me the car was in a minor accident, but that Auto Check "doesn't give any detail". Wrong - I got the report later (after I had purchased the car) and the Auto Check clearly stated at the very beginning of the report, that the car was in a frontal collision and had to be towed! Crazy that he could lie to me like that! 4. I was going to pay cash for car because after my trade-in, I only had a balance of $3K. But Sales guy spoke with his sales manager who said if I financed the car, and added an extra $12K to the amount being financed (and they would cut me a check for $12K a month later), I could get a better deal (and he said Blasius would get a "small kick in" from the financing company). The sales guy said I could pay off the loan after 3 months, with no pre-payment penalty, but the sales manager who was standing near-by corrected him and said I had to wait 5 months to avoid pre-payment penalty. Turns out neither of them were telling the truth because when I called the bank about a month into my loan, they told me there was no pre-payment penalty! Blasius wanted me to pay interest on their $12k loan for five months, which would have cost me almost $500! Really shady dealership. I sold the car as soon as I finally received the title, and lost $4,500 on the whole terrible decision to buy a car from them. More

As a PA buyer purchasing from CT, I was initially hesitant about buying out of state, but after researching the dealership’s great reputation, I decided to move forward. Jerry DeJesus was absolutely amazing! Professional, kind, and truly focused on customer satisfaction. We had some normal negotiation, and they offered me a very competitive trade-in value. Within two days, I was driving home in the car I’d been looking for, and everything was exactly as promised. The whole process was smooth, honest, and stress-free. Bobby the GM and Kyle in finance were also great to work with. I’m so happy with my car and the overall experience - definitely one of the easiest, most pleasant car purchases I’ve ever made! More

BUYER BEWARE: AVOID BLASIUS PREOWNED AT ALL COSTS This is my first-ever business review, and I don’t write them lightly. I believe in giving businesses the benefit of the doubt, but my experience with Bla is my first-ever business review, and I don’t write them lightly. I believe in giving businesses the benefit of the doubt, but my experience with Blasius Preowned requires complete transparency to warn potential buyers. If you value your time, money, or sanity, stay far away from Blasius Preowned. They are the epitome of an untrustworthy business that plays games with their customers and lacks any semblance of integrity. I had been searching for a specific 2022 truck trim and came across one with 61k miles at Blasius Preowned. It was listed at a reasonable price, so I went for a test drive. The truck seemed fine—until I discovered a junkyard engine in it. When I questioned this during the sale, I was assured that everything was in perfect working condition and that the third-party service contract I purchased would cover anything that went wrong. Spoiler alert: everything went wrong. Less than a week after purchasing the truck, disaster struck. While driving to and from work for a few days after purchase, I noticed strange issues while driving and discovered a massive pile of oil under the truck. A GMC dealer inspection revealed: • A broken CV axle • A severe transfer case transmission fluid leak that left the truck drenched in transmission fluid I brought the truck back to Blasius under their 60-day dealer warranty, only to learn that the technician who had supposedly inspected the truck before sale had been fired days earlier. Things went from bad to worse when the ENGINE blew—while on their property! I demanded a full refund, giving them one last chance to make things right before involving a lawyer and the state of Connecticut. Instead of taking responsibility, they held me hostage with shady tactics. They refused a refund and insisted they needed to repair the truck before offering trade-in credit—but only within their auto group. The truck was unsafe to drive, and I shudder to think what could have happened if the engine had blown while I was driving it home. Their solution? Replace the engine with a remanufactured one but try to charge it to the service contract company instead of honoring their own dealer warranty. When the service contract company denied the claim due to timing, Blasius pretended they would cover the cost, only for me to find out later that GMC paid for it under warranty. When the truck was finally returned to me with the “new” engine, it sounded like it was misfiring at idle and also experiencing transmission issues. Their answer was to pressure me into trading it for another truck—at a worse trim level—while demanding an extra $10k down payment to make it same monthly payment that I had. I was forced to settle for less than I originally wanted, losing thousands of dollars and wasting over two and a half months dealing with their incompetence. To make matters worse, even their service department admitted I had a bad experience. That’s right—the very people who were supposed to ensure my truck was safe acknowledged how poorly the situation was handled, yet no one took accountability to fix things properly. Blasius Preowned did not lose a dime in this debacle, but I lost thousands of dollars, time, and trust. They are the kind of business that takes advantage of their customers and hides behind empty promises. Their motto is “where friends send friends.” Well, I’ll tell you this: friends DO NOT send friends to Blasius Preowned. They will never see another dollar from me or anyone I know. Consider this your warning: stay far away. More
