I've been waiting and praying and I'm exhausting my friends helping me out to get me around to my jobs. I currently wrote a good review for my friend and this dealership, but I have to change it at thi More

As owner/principal of Columbus Auto Source, I am sorry to hear Mr. Robinson has had a negative experience with our dealership. Having been a licensed dealer for almost 20 years, we know how important customer satisfaction is to the long term success of our company. This doesn't mean, however, that all customer complaints have merit. We are certainly sensitive to how our customers feel about us, but we will always apply the "reasonableness" test to our customers who have issues after the sale. According to our General Manager, Doug Seagle, Mr. Robinson purchased his vehicle from Columbus Auto Source on February 10, 2022. Management, then, did not hear from Mr. Robinson for over 6 weeks, perhaps longer. Like 100% of our customers, Mr.Robinson purchased his vehicle "AS IS" from our dealership, although, he did purchase a separate vehicle service agreement from a third party included in the original lender financing contract (note: our dealership does not have a formal business relationship with that service contract provider). When Mr. Robinson began having issues with his vehicle, he took it to a local dealer to have it serviced. It wasn't until after the dealer had torn the engine down and then claimed they were unable to get a claim authorization from the service contract he purchased, that he contacted us. Mr Robinson owned and had possession of his vehicle for over 6 weeks and drove an estimated 5000 miles before he reached out to us. He also took his vehicle elsewhere for service, creating a situation whereby we had no way of knowing what actually occurred at that shop--we were contacted only thereafter. With the information provided to us and the description of the events above, we are unable to offer Mr. Robinson any further remedy. A. Christensen, owner/principal

Andy I told Steve an oil change wasn't done on this vehicle when the engine started smoking and I put oil in the car, and also Steve told you this. And your Manager told me I could take it to any GMC certified dealership to get work done on the car like the oil change and the timing chain that was put on improperly by the mechanic that sold you the car and in return in was sold to me. The mileage has nothing to do with it, because it wasn't over 24K miles. When the GMC dealership shares with me that hoses were missing and the timing chain was installed incorrectly that has nothing to do with the miles at all. Also Jarred told Steve to have me get the car towed to him so he could take a look at it. Might I remind you sir I live in Mansfield, Oh so that's why I took the car to a GMC dealer in my area. Once again your manager advised me that I could do that.

I was very pleased with Steve. He helped me purchase my van. I had trouble with my transmission after a few months. He was able to help me contact the correct repair company and it was fixed at no charge. More

Even though Steve Sloan is my husband ( just throwing that out there) he's always available and answering calls and needs of customers while he's at home. Why wouldn't you buy from a guy like that?!!! More
