Hi Southernman, not sure what you are talking about?

Apr 22, 2024 -

CarSmart.net responded

Whoopsie daisy! It seems like this review took a wrong turn, like driving with a GPS on the fritz. While we appreciate the creativity, we're not the ones you're looking for. CarSmart is all about smooth rides and happy vibes, not fits or spam calls. But hey, kudos for outsmarting those pesky spam callers with the burner number! If you're ever in the market for a vehicle or just want to chat about car trivia, swing by and let's steer this conversation in the right direction. 🚗😄 The CarSmart.net Team

Southernman responded

Who is responding first and foremost?

Apr 22, 2024 -

Southernman responded

Thanks for the light-hearted response, but unfortunately, this isn't a case of mistaken identity or a GPS glitch, I'm very certain it was your dealership. I appreciate the invitation to chat about car trivia, but perhaps we should first address how customer data is being handled? It’s important to keep things transparent and professional, especially when it comes to credit inquiries and personal information. While the idea of using a burner number might have injected some humor into the situation, the core issue of receiving unwanted spam remains serious. Let's ensure that practices at CarSmart are as smooth as the rides you're selling. Looking forward to a genuine resolution rather than steering around the problem. Best, Southernman

My name is Guy Alfieri, I am the owner.

CarSmart.net responded

I understand your concern and appreciate you bringing this matter to my attention. At CarSmart, safeguarding our customers' data is our top priority. Rest assured, I'm taking your feedback seriously and will personally look into the issue to ensure that our data handling processes meet the highest standards of professionalism and transparency. Could you please specify the exact issue you're referring to that involves our company? This will help me address your concerns more effectively.

Apr 22, 2024 -

Southernman responded

I didn't buy a car from I'm assuming your son or nephew, Matthew. Immediately after leaving the dealership, I began receiving texts from being signed up for credit applications, and healthcare quotes, and that kept going on for at least a month. That is very unprofessional. You don't know the seemingly absurd amount of spam calls and texts I received as a result. I'm very seriously considering taking this a step further, as it very much violates privacy laws.

Apr 22, 2024 -

CarSmart.net responded

I want to assure you that Matthew is not involved in the situation you're describing, and he would never engage in such behavior. Without direct evidence of the allegations you're making, I'm unsure of what action you're expecting me to take. We've been operating for 25 years without any accusations of this nature, so I'm puzzled by why you believe Matthew is involved. I would appreciate it if you could provide more transparency regarding your reasons for suspecting him.

Apr 22, 2024 -

Southernman responded

Oh, now I am being called a liar. Interesting stance. But, I hate to burst your bubble, it was in fact Matthew. I even checked the photos of your sales team, 150% without a doubt, it was him. I have a great idea actually, sit him down and let him know how serious this probably will be, and will get, concerning privacy laws. I'm sure at the time he thought it was funny. Why don't you go ask him about a guy who test drove a white Mustang, back last summer. I'm sure it will jog some memories. Especially when you give him the name of "Gary", which is my name. Or you guys can play dumb. We shall see.

Apr 22, 2024 -

CarSmart.net responded

Gary, I want to clarify that I'm not implying that you're being dishonest. I appreciate your concerns and your willingness to discuss this matter openly. What I'm asking for is whether you have direct evidence to support the claims you're making. I take allegations like this very seriously, as maintaining the integrity of our organization is of utmost importance to me. If you have any evidence or specific details about when this incident occurred and how Matthew was involved, I would like to review them. Transparency and accountability are essential values at our company, and I am committed to addressing any issues promptly and thoroughly.

Apr 22, 2024 -

Southernman responded

I understand the importance of evidence in such matters, and I appreciate your commitment to integrity and transparency. To provide specific details as you requested: The incident occurred last summer when I visited your dealership to test drive a white 2010 oir 2011 Mustang. After my visit, I started receiving unsolicited texts and calls as a result of unauthorized credit and healthcare inquiries, which I believe were initiated by your team, specifically Matthew, based on my interactions that day. Your dealership is the only place visited that day. I recognize the complexity of such allegations and the potential implications for your business, which is why I am raising this concern directly with you rather than taking immediate legal action. I believe this is a fair chance for us to resolve this matter internally. However, if we cannot find a satisfactory resolution, I may need to consider further steps to protect my privacy rights. I hope we can address this issue constructively. Please feel free to reach out if you need any more information from my end to facilitate your investigation. Best regards, Gary

CarSmart.net responded

Gary, could you kindly share your last name with me so that I can conduct some research?

Apr 22, 2024 -

CarSmart.net responded

Gary, allow me to clarify your statement. If I understand correctly, approximately 9 or 10 months ago, you visited our dealership, test drove a Mustang, and subsequently began receiving spam calls on your secondary phone later that day. Is that accurate?
