Commuter Cars

Run away from this place!! I have had problem after problem with the jeep I bought from them. The transmission went out after 3 weeks, the ac compressor is going bad, it doesn't I have had problem after problem with the jeep I bought from them. The transmission went out after 3 weeks, the ac compressor is going bad, it doesn't always start the first time (they had it running when I arrived to see it), a bent rim, a horrible re-paint job (I drove 2 1/2 hours to see this jeep and when I arrived it was dark), the list goes on and on... Then, they forgot to send my tag out before it expired, then messed up overnighting it to me. Then, they didn't do something right filing with my insurance and had no problem blowing up my phone for weeks. After everything, I could've cared less about talking to them. (They would've only gotten all choice words building up from a month of owning the vehicle!!!) I am a 23 year old working student and this was my first time buying a vehicle on my own; and they knew that. I've felt taken advantage of in my entire experience with commuter cars. I could never recommend them to anyone. More

I'm only 16 years old. I saved up for 3 summers mowing lawns to buy my first truck about three months ago. My dream was a 4x4 Ford Bronco. I went to four or five dealers, and everyone told me that mowing lawns to buy my first truck about three months ago. My dream was a 4x4 Ford Bronco. I went to four or five dealers, and everyone told me that i had to "come back with my mom and dad" if they were going to show me any cars. I was really getting down cause my mom and dad told me to go find the truck i liked, and that they would come back to help me buy it as soon as i found one. So on the the way home from school my bus passed by commuter cars. I notices a big green 4x4 Bronco out front with huge tires already on it! I knew i had to go check it out! I jumped off the bus, jumped on my bike, and race back to Commuter Cars as fast as i could. When I got there, Rob came out to ask if he could help me. I told him yes, I'd like to check out the Bronco. He said, " hold on a second while i go grab the keys. He came back, let me start it up, and rev it up! I fell in love with this Bronco! I told him i had a drivers permit, and that i wanted to drive it. He would not let me take on the road, but he did let me take it in the back field behind the store and try it out off road!! The 4wheel drive worked sweet!! He even let me rip it thru a mud hole! It was soooo cool. I told him id be back with my parents to work a deal out. I came back that nite with my dad. I was $600 short on being able to buy it. Rob told me that if I promised to send him a few more customers the he would discount the Bronco another $600 bucks for me! Ive sent 4 of my friends to him so far! I love my new Bronco. I drive it to school everyday now. My mom told me the best way for me to thank Rob Bernal was to write him a thank you letter, and a good review on line. Ive now done both. Thanks Again Rob! Hope i buy another truck from you in the future! Cole. More

Needed a nice used car to get back and forth from work. A friend of mine that purchased a car from Jake 4 years ago recommended we go see him at commuter cars. What a great place to buy a nice commuter car. friend of mine that purchased a car from Jake 4 years ago recommended we go see him at commuter cars. What a great place to buy a nice commuter car. They had hundreds of cars to choose from. I ended up purchasing a 2003 Honda Civic LX with 120k miles. I saved over $2600 from what another dealer wanted for the same car. I told Jake Id like my mechanic to check it out first before we completed the paperwork. Not only did Jake tell me "No Problem", but he actually took the car to my mechanic for me, with no xtra charges!! My Mechanic recommended a few things be done, but nothing out of line for a 10year old car. So I purchased the car, and have put 9000 trouble free miles on it since. Nice people, No Dealer Fees, Nice cars, and lots of em! Thanks again Jake! I hope other people read my review, and come see you for their next car. More

After purchasing a vehicle from Commuter Cars for $2250, it broke down 6 days later. My mechanic said the engine was shot and needed to be replaced. He quoted it at another $2200. Not only did it take over it broke down 6 days later. My mechanic said the engine was shot and needed to be replaced. He quoted it at another $2200. Not only did it take over 30 days for Commuter Cars to give me my title and tag but they refused to give me my tag because they underestimated my tag and title fees. I currently owe them another $21.40. I filed with the Better Business Bureau against then and they informed me they received the letter but were not going to take ANY action in helping me in my situation. I filed the claim after I had contacted the dealership and tried to work out some sort of deal which they made blatantly clear that they could do absolutely nothing to help me out. When I received a phone call saying I had to come pay my fee and pick up my tag or they would return my tag to the DMV which would ultimately suspend my license (which it won't unless I default on my insurance which I haven't), I asked to speak to the owner. The owner called me back promptly to inform me that because I had filed with the BBB and apparently called the Sheriff's Department on the company (which I didn't but I will now), that they don't help "those kind of people". Needless to say, I hope they all rot in xxxx and if you have a chance to go anywhere else...xxxx, even if you don't have a chance to go anywhere else....GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. I wouldn't even consider the employees or owners human. More

I called Commuter Cars of Port St. Lucie, Florida, to inquire about a 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser they had advertised as being in "very good condition and very clean. . .and runs and drives very solid". Th inquire about a 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser they had advertised as being in "very good condition and very clean. . .and runs and drives very solid". The salesperson I spoke with, Jake Montgomery, personally vouched as having extensive knowledge of the vehicle. I specifically asked if there were any drivetrain leaks, was it in need of a tune-up, and had it been in an accident previously. Mr. Montgomery told me that there were no leaks, the engine ran like a top, it had not been in an accident and moreover, the body only had a few small surface rust spots. Based on Commuter Cars ad and Mr. Montgomery's description, I agreed to purchase the vehicle and have it shipped to me. When the vehicle arrived, the first thing I noticed was the interior was in shambles. The carpet was trashed, the tailgate cosmetic panel was missing, trash in the rear compartment area, and the interior quarter panels were half-on. After signing for the vehicle, I started it up and went to pull out into traffic. The vehicle stalled and I was almost broad-sided by oncoming traffic. I made it to the emergency lane. Gas tank was empty. Started it again and made it two blacks to the gas station. After filling the tank, I attempted to drive it home only to have it stall about 12 times in the 2.5 mile drive to my house. The next morning, I brought it to my automotive shop behind my house (it stalled two additional times in the 1 block drive) for inspection. After a few days, the owner of the shop called. He said he wanted to inform me first that he would not accept the vehicle for repair because the body was so badly rusted. Specifically, he said the vehicle was rusted from the inside out and beyond repair. He found holes in the rear floor panel, previous signs of repair, door jams and seals rusted, roof seals rusted, fender wells rusted, subframe rusted, tailgate rusted, etc.; he also couldn't get the engine to run properly and moreover, found leaks in both the transfer case and rear engine main seal. I also learned that the vehicle had been in two previous accidents. I called Commuter Cars of Port St. Lucie, Florida, and informed Mr. Montgomery of my findings. I asked for a refund and even offered to absorb the shipping costs. Mr. Montgomery informed me that because I bought the vehicle "As Is" that the vehicle is mine now and when I told him I would pursue legal action, Mr. Montgomery said, "Ha, good luck with that. Florida protects its dealers". I'm in the process of bring legal action against Commuter Cars of Port St. Lucie, Florida for misrepresentation & fraud, and it looks like it will be a lengthly process. My hope, in the meantime, is to warn potential buyers of the unprofessional and unethical practices used by Commuter Cars of Port St. Lucie and moreover, Mr. Jake Montgomery. Shane A. Schruff More
