Definitive Motors

Disappointment after disappointment I don't usually like to post negative reviews for small business, but with this one I am forced to. To start of, I spent 6+ months looking for a ca I don't usually like to post negative reviews for small business, but with this one I am forced to. To start of, I spent 6+ months looking for a car, and when I came across Definitive Motors, I decided to buy a car from them due to it being small family owned dealership so I thought you'd get dedicated customer service and be treated like family. Their staff, Patrick & Dru are very professional and I sincerely enjoyed my experience with them. I found the car I liked and we worked out a deal. They mentioned a couple of times that they only purchase top of the line cars that they inspect and make sure are cars they'd own themselves. So I just trusted them and didn't inspect the car- I thought they have great reputation, they highly rated online, and when you look at their lot you'll notice they indeed only have top of the line luxury cars. So we agree on price, APR...etc and I blindly signed all the paperwork and left extremely excited in my 2009 BMW 650i. This was on 1/11/2019. For the following week I got a lot of mail from banks who either declined to lend me or updated their terms or whatever. Normal. Big issue #1 When we agreed on a price and interest rate, I signed the papers and trusted that what we agreed on is what I am signing so i didn't pay much attention. A week later I get a call from the credit union I am financed through to get my account set up, and during that conversation, I found that my loan was at a higher APR than we agreed and shook on. I rushed home to look at the paperwork i signed, and it indeed had a higher interest rate than we agreed on. So I contact the dealership and they apologized and said they'll fix it (shady?) They ask me to come by to sign new paperwork reflecting the correct APR. I signed took my copy. Few days later I get a letter in the mail confirming the receipt of the final payment on my 2009 650i??? and a day or two later, I get a call from the credit union congratulating me on my 2015 BMW? xxx! That was in February- and I started getting notification that lenders are checking my credit report and started receiving all these letters from banks explaining why they had declined my request or updated their terms and conditions AGAIN. When I checked with Definitive motors on what is going on, they said nothing those are just letters from my first loan request. I don't think so... They were all dated 2/1/19 and were from the same banks i received letters from two weeks earlier. Issue #2 It's been almost two months and about 1,000 miles since I purchased the car, and I've had to take it to the mechanic two times due to check engine light already. First time, coils went bad and needed to be replaced & second time due engine coolant leak (still haven't fixed it) but I have to top of my coolant every other day and wherever I park it leaves a big puddle. There is also noise coming from the rear driver side wheel- sounds like the car is limping. This by far, has been the worst BMW I have ever owned and I've only owned it for less than 3 months. I honestly get nervous EVERY single morning when I start it to go to work fearing that something else will go wrong. Issue #3 The car exterior is not in as good of a shape as I expected it to be. When I purchased it in January it was rainy and cloudy- now that I see it in the sunlight, scratches, dents, and non-matching paint. They did include a detail i can redeem in the Spring time, but it was just very disappointing to see a BMW with 50k miles in this shape. This is my 4th BMW (& newest) & definetley the one in worst shape out of all I've owned. To conclude, If I could go back in time, I wouldn't purchase a car from here and recommend that if you chose to, do yourself a favor and have the car professionally inspected before you buy it & pay close attention to what your signing.. A car is a very big purchase for most people, and that is the only reason I took the time to write this review. Don't repeat my mistake! Do your duedeligence before committing to a big purchase like this, and don't take anyone's word-- More

Staff was extremely knowledgeable! I bought my Q5 at Definitive Motors a couple of months. We worked with Drew who was extremely knowledgeable about the different cars and super helpful I bought my Q5 at Definitive Motors a couple of months. We worked with Drew who was extremely knowledgeable about the different cars and super helpful - he made the entire process streamlined and easy (never thought I would say that about a car dealership!). The car has been great and I absolutely love it. I would definitely recommend Definitive Motors and their team, and would buy another car from them in the future. More

Only 1 person was decent 09/24/2018: I would have given a 5-star rating if it weren't for their Financial Manager, David, and whoever was responsible for driving my car on the 09/24/2018: I would have given a 5-star rating if it weren't for their Financial Manager, David, and whoever was responsible for driving my car on the express lane the day after I traded in my car. We signed all of the paperwork and a few days later I received a call from David telling me that I need to resign the papers because they made a mistake on the interest rate. I was told that the interest rate is actually 1% higher! He didn't apologize until I made sure he knew I was upset, then he apologized. He has zero customer service skills. Then, I received a bill from "WSDOT - Good To Go" because apparently someone decided to get on the express lane. The cameras caught the license plate number, WSDOT sent me the bill because the car was still registered to me! The only one I liked dealing with at this place was Dru Cordner. 5 stars for him. 5 stars for the car. BUT 1 star for the rest! 10/24/2019: I am downgrading this review from 3 stars to 1 star. I received another bill from "WSDOT-Good To Go" because someone apparently used the express lane AGAIN! Are they just that stupid to not know the rules? Or they just don't care since they hadn't transferred the registration and they wouldn't need to pay the toll fee? Total disregard for their customers. They're all smiles when you try to buy a car from them, then they just don't care once you step out of their lot! 2 hours later: I called and asked for the manager. David was the one who answered and said he's a manager. I told him about the 2nd WSDOT letter. He said it's because I didn't call the Dept of Licensing to report my car sold. I have had 5+ cars traded in previously and I had never had to call DOL to report my car sold, because the dealership always had to do all of that. David said "well then you got lucky". Yup rudeness at its finest. More

A dealer who does the right thing. We were pleased with Fred's commitment to make a good deal for us. I feel we were treated fairly and are happy with the experience.

1 Star is 1 too many for this review. WORST CAR DEALERSHIP EVER. On 11/1/16, I purchased a 1996 Honda Accord (not very luxury - it was taken in on trade) for my 16 year old daughter throug WORST CAR DEALERSHIP EVER. On 11/1/16, I purchased a 1996 Honda Accord (not very luxury - it was taken in on trade) for my 16 year old daughter through a salesman for Definitive Motors. I paid for the car and was given the keys and temporary registration with Definitive's Dealer #1503 on it. The car was a DISGUSTING MESS, so I took it to be detailed inside and out (twice), had it painted and had engine work done on it so that my daughter would be kept safe. The car looked and ran great (perfect for a first car!) and my daughter went nuts! I went back 2 weeks later (along with all of my SIGNED paperwork) after not receiving the plates, and was told that they could help me sift through the packet of documents so that I could make sure the title and plates were taken care of. This was the first car I had purchased on my own and was a single mom trying to figure out the forms and knew that I'd need to register it soon. I was informed that they didn't know what any of the docs were (HUH?) and would have to consult with the owner, that they were very sorry for everything and requested that I leave the packet, saying "Trust me, I promise to take good care of you" (*NOTE* Now after further educating myself, what car salesman doesn't know what a vehicle title application/registration certificate, report of sale, release of interest/power of attorney, or odometer disclosure is?). Mid-December I still hadn't heard back about the status of the title & plates and I knew that I needed to get it registered on 12/16/16. I called and asked if the plates had come in, to which I was told, "You'll have to talk to the owner, I don't know anything about this" (HUH? Again). I was transferred to the owner/manager, who was rude and cold. He told me that the original salesman who helped me had recently been in and that he was given my packet of documents. He ended the conversation with, "The car isn't yours, it's the salesman's". (HUH? WHAT THE HUH?). I told him I was in Bellevue, just 2 minutes away and would be over immediately to pick up MY ORIGINAL CAR DOCUMENTS. I am sure that you can already guess what happened. The owner disappeared. As I walked in the door, a salesman (who had never met me), knew exactly who I was and went upstairs to get my paperwork. What he brought down was a SHOCK. He handed me a file with ALL NEW BOGUS documents - ALL unsigned. I asked him where my ORIGINAL, SIGNED documents were and he shrugged, "No clue". I was furious. And then I cried the entire way home and the car has now been sitting for over a month - I'm out the money and my daughter is out a car until this is settled (as of 1/9/17 the car is STILL not in mine or my daughter's name, according to the Department of Transportation). I emailed the owner of Definitive Motors almost 2 weeks ago asking him to make this right, but have heard nothing. I have reported this to the police, they took a police report. I have filed a civil claim, court is in 9 days. I have now filed a complaint with the Attorney General and the Department of Licensing, Dealer Division and won't stop until this dealership DOES THE RIGHT THING. I did NOTHING to them, except buy a car for my daughter. I have been wronged on so many levels - all to protect a salesman who hated them, talked trash about them and doesn't even work there anymore? I wish I didn't even have to give 1 star rating, this is FRAUD and they don't deserve it. More
