Mobico Auto Mart

These people are crooks I am now the proud owner of a car that Mobico Auto Mart used as one of their personal vehicles for a year. How good is it you ask? Like the other re I am now the proud owner of a car that Mobico Auto Mart used as one of their personal vehicles for a year. How good is it you ask? Like the other reviewer I purchased the vehicle from out of state and should have had an independent mechanic check it out and I did not (shame on me.) Instead it cost me thousands in repairs for a collision that was just fixed to look good without really fixing anything There were broken bits and pieces everywhere and the body shop that repainted the damage said the paint was so poorly done that it was coming off when they just started to blow the dust off with compressed air! Mobico Auto is the kind of place that gives used car dealers a bad name. I would not trust anything they say. More

BUYER'S BEWARE!!! This is the kind of used car dealer that gives all used car dealers a bad reputation!

I purchased a 2006 Toyota Land Cruiser from Mobico recently from out of state. I had the salesman, Imad, send me pictures of the car. All the pictures seemed to confirm the car was in good condition and he emailed me a scanned Carfax that confirmed the car was a one owner/no accident car that had been taken care of. Imad went as far to say that the car was in "perfect condition" and I " wouldn't be able to find a problem on it if I tried". He said they bought the car from the owner and knew that the owner had taken great care of it. I specifically asked him about rust underneath the car because it had been in Massachusetts its whole life and he said there was no material rust under the car and even sent me a couple of pics that were dark but did not show much rust. I asked him if he had the service records for the car and he said he did not which I felt was a little odd if they had bought it directly from the owner. Against my better judgement, I decided to purchase the car without having anyone look at it for me and had it shipped to me. A week later I got behind the wheel for the first time and immediately saw that the back leather seat had a large yellow stain on it that had been there for a long time. I then turned the car on to see four warning lights light up the dash light a Christmas tree. The ABS, TRAC, Parking Brake & Tire Pressure warning lights all were on! I called Mobico and told them this and they said it the lights were likely on because the truck driver had spun the tires when driving it up on his truck and that the lights were not a big deal. I told them I was going to take it to the Toyota dealership and have them look it and they said that I should just take it by a NAPA Auto Parts store and have one of the workers reset the lights for me because the dealership would just tell me something was wrong with it to make money on the repairs. I took it to the Toyota dealership the next day and sure enough they said there were several issues that appeared to have existed for a while that needed to be fixed and likely someone had temporarily disabled some of these warning lights and caused the problems to get worse. But this is not even the worse news - the tech called me over while car was on the lift and asked me if I had seen the undercarriage. The bottom of the car was covered in rust worse than any car I had ever seen. Their were several visible holes in the metal in many spots. He walked me around to the back of the car and showed me the rear coil springs that are connected to the Height Control System that raises the car's height up and down. They were completely rusted through and needed immediate replacement. I went to open the rear hatch door a min later and the handle broke off right in my hand because the metal brackets were rusted through. At that point I knew I had officially bought a lemon and that Mobico had blatantly deceived me in a number of different ways. Off the top of my head: claiming to have had their mechanics do a complete inspection and found nothing mechanically or cosmetically wrong with the car, taking perfectly set up pictures that obscured the defects (rust, leather stains, scuffs and marks) by using poor lighting or specific angles that did not reveal the problems, and plain outright lies made by the salesman, Imad. I made the mistake of not having someone come to look at the car and get it checked out by a independent mechanic. Shame on me because I know better. I am simply writing this review in hopes that someone will read this and think twice about taking anything that Mobico says as the truth without getting proof and independent confirmation. They will smile and assure you all the way until you drive away in one of their cars and then they will laugh all the way to the bank with your check. More
