Beware of Alex, one of their "salesmen". He will tell you that he'll call you back, he'll tell you that he'll email you, he'll tell you that he'll text you - none of which he's apparently ca More

They upcharged me for a rust proof coating that was already on the car that they did not advertise and refused to take off the price I should’ve ran right there. The car has a huge dent on the passenge More

FALSE ADVERTISING: I found a vehicle that I am interested in on Cars.com and contacted the dealership about the vehicle. After reading the reviews on DealerRater and Cars.com, speaking of their deceptive pri More

There is nothing more to learn about this experience. I explained exactly what happened. The only other thing I left out was that the sales manager "tried to work with me" on the price, but would not remove the useless features I noted above. It does not say on the listing that these are not optional and they need to be purchased. Also when the listing is on other sites it does not list the other non manufacturer installed equipment and just has the price of the car. I left and went to a different dealership the next day that had almost the exact same car (different color, and a little more options) at about the same price and there was no hidden fees. The price was what it was. There was no LoJack, no xzilon protection, no other hidden fees.

I’ll provide the facts. I went the dealer to pay asking price on new 2022 Tesla. Xzilon ($2595) was previously applied. I declined the following add-ons: $2900 used car s More

The true definition of "awful" - don't believe the price you see online. They will raise the price 20% after you take a test drive and blame low inventory. They also try to include a fee for "Xzilon" whic More

If your customer care team is anything like your sales team, I'll take a pass -your dealership needs a total house cleaning.
