I can honestly say that this dealership is the most awful place to buy a vehicle and the staff is very discourteous. I purchased a used car from them and I completely understand that the car is very old. How More

Please contact me with you information and proof of purchase from my dealership. My name is Ed Wheaton, I run several of the Ourisman stores and do not see any attempt of you trying to contact me to review your situation or possibly lend assistance. Who did you ask for help in my store? If you let me know the names of who gave you terrible service, I can investigate this. If your vehilce was covered under warranty, I cannot understand why we would not help. Ed W. I can be reached at edwheaton@gmail.com or 301-498-7400 extension 247

Angel M. – It’s regretful to see that you have taken this approach and now blame our dealership. Your purchase included a warranty from our store. When there was a repair and part(s) needed, we paid for the repairs and parts. Even when you were in Florida and took the vehicle to another dealership, we sent a check and paid for the service work and necessary repairs. Now that your warranty period has ended it’s unfair to expect us to continue to help with your maintenance and repairs. Additionally, when you purchased this vehicle, we strongly recommended that you take advantage of an extended protection plan to cover repairs and maintenance once your warranty expired. You declined that coverage and protection. We also allow customers the opportunity to take the vehicle to their own mechanic, prior to purchase, to have it inspected to ensure it’s a great vehicle; you had that opportunity as well. I am sorry that you feel it’s our responsibility to help you nine (9) months after your warranty period has ended. I contacted you and offered to call you and make arrangements to see what I could do to help but you have elected for a different approach. I’m sorry we cannot pay for your maintenance and repairs outside of your warranty coverage. Ed W.

I filed a complaint with this business through the better business bureau. They accused me of trying to extort them. As far as I know extortion requires you to make some kind of threat. I have not threatened this dealership in any way, I simply called them out on their terrible business ethics and gave them the opportunity to take responsibility. They seem to think that it is simply "not their problem." They said that because I did not purchase the extended protection plan it is my fault that I'm in this situation. Well I was not approved for the extra amount that the plan would have costed in my loan so there was really no option for me to purchase it. I think that if a dealership was as "reputable" as they claim, they would have no issue in assisting me with this matter. With this dealership it is quite the contrary.

Mrs. McLaughlin, We fixed your vehicle when it was covered under warranty at no charge. Now that your warranty has expired and nine (9) months after you took delivery, you feel this is now our responsibiltiy to pay for your maintenace and repairs??? Your warranty expired 8 months ago. I offered to call you and see what I could do to help but you decided to attack us in social networks and through the BBB prior to my call. Then you offered to ammend or remove your reviews and attacks if I did something to help you outside of the warranty period. That is unethical. I have provided you the document that you signed to decline the warranty we offered. You were approved but refused to take it because you wanted a lower payment. Your statement of not being approved is false and you are twisting facts to try to get people to believe your side of the story. That too is unethical. I sincerely regret that you took this approach and that we have lost you as a customer.

You seem to fail to mention the fact that your service department gave me false information as to what was wrong with my car when I had the check engine light investigated, I was told it was an o2 sensor and it is actually the catalytic converter which would have been a covered repair under the warranty if they had been so inclined to actually work a time out for me to get it checked out under warranty but your mechanics seem to think that it's not their responsibility. I had posted my reviews (which is exercising my freedom of speech)prior to my complaint with the BBB that you received at a later time and day. Your timeline is out of order sir. I would not call my reviews an attack at all, I am simply warning the public that buying a used vehicle from you because they may end up extremely upside down in their loan with a car that isn't even safe to drive. I don't think that you sincerely regret anything. I work in customer service and I go above and beyond to make my customers happy, especially if it means that there is a possibility they could spread a negative image of my company, which is a possibility with anyone. That being said every customer should be treated with the best service that you can provide and it seems that your companies service in general is sub-par.

Not to mention that you have completely forgotten the fact that your employees treated me with horrible disrespect even during the buying process. You should take a look at that too. Sweep behind your own back door first.

Dear Honda CR-V Owner – Our Honda Certified technician that reviewed your CR-V is also a licensed Maryland State Inspector. We have reviewed your repair order and our recommendations. If you would like to come into the dealership, stand under your vehicle and have him identify the recommendations with a flashlight, we will be more than happy to assist you. We do not take “short cuts” and we do not sell unnecessary work. While your mechanic may have convinced you these repairs are not necessary, we stand behind our recommendations. Should we fail to point out potential concerns and you or one of your family members becomes involved in an accident, then we could be liable. It is our responsibility to help you make an informed decision and it’s regretful that you feel as you do. It is my hope that your mechanic is Factory Trained, a Honda Certified technician, knows current Maryland Inspection Law and did not overlook anything.

James Jones is the person to go to when buying a vehicle. He was very humble and welcoming when I went to look for a new Honda CR-V. I told him exactly what I wanted, and he helped me find what I was looki More

Mr. Thompson, I would like to correct the following facts in your review. Per our initial conversation, when you dropped off your vehicle, there was not requested return time indicated on your paperwork. My employee was not aware you needed the vehicle back earlier until you phoned. Had we been told prior or had that request been made on your paperwork, we would have moved your vehicle ahead of the customers that were here in the service lounge waiting that morning. Our second conversation took place in my office when you expressed your displeasure with my service department and staff. You were loud, hostile and you suggested that we switch parts even though we could not duplicate your concern. I explained that unless we could duplicate the concern or issue we could not just guess at random and swap out parts. It was never that we “could not fix it.” It was that we (and you) could not get your concern to duplicate itself or do what you said it was doing, therefore there was nothing to fix. I apologized in my office that it was inconvenient and your final comment was belligerent and uncalled for. You told me that you did not use profanity, I will not argue if you did or did not. By your own admission, you said we were “------- worthless”. It was at that time I decided I could not assist you as a consumer. I do not think it is fair or respectable for one person to insult and attack another, physically or verbally. I certainly will not have my employees berated. I was very clear with you about my actions. I followed up with you twice and offered to assist you in finding a Honda dealership that you would be happy with so they could complete your repair. I even copied and scanned your entire service file and sent it to you via email. You never replied to those emails or requests for helping you find service. For the record, warranty repairs pay well. We would never chase away warranty work. However, since we could not duplicate the issue, we cannot fabricate or falsify claims. I apologize if you feel my actions are rude and inconsistent but I feel that I have been more than fair and reasonable. When and if your review goes live, I will post this response as well as my dated emails to you. Thank you for your time.
