The Absolute Worst - 1971Mach1

Awful!!! I purchased a car at Orlando Car Wholesalers through Ralph AKA “June,” and I requested that they change the bulbs because some were not working for the tail lights,etc. I also asked if they serviced cars —oil changes, transmission, and coolant, and was told that they certainly could do that for $200. This was on a Saturday, and I was informed my car would be ready on that following Monday. They were to drop it off at my address. Monday came and went, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, they wouldn’t even call me back for updates. Where was my car I wondered, and what was going on? Finally, Thursday I received a text message “they were on the way, “ but many, many hours passed, and my car had not arrived. I asked where they were, and no one answered. Friday, the car was dropped off early in the morning. They hurried off after leaving the car at my address. When I get inside of the car and start it, the check engine light is on, all of the indicator lamps are glowing, it showed below E for fuel, and the gas cap was caved in. The tires appeared to have been switched. They were dangerous with severe rot and tread showing. The tire pressure was 10 psi all the way around. I had to pry the gas cover open with a screwdriver so that I could put some fuel in it. Yes, they actually dropped off the car in that condition and left. It was running or else I would not have even purchased it. What the xxxx did they do to the car while they had it? Needless to say, I was not amused because this was not the car I looked at, and They were unwilling to even discuss anything with me. The Sheriffs department were contacted by myself and my attorney. I am wondering how many other people this has happened to? My car had a blown head gasket and other issues. Purchasing an older vehicle, I was prepared for possibility of near future maintenance work such as looking into perhaps a new timing belt & water pump, And having it looked at elsewhere. I asked June/Ralph many times if there was anything wrong with the car, anything that needed immediate attention, any recommendations, was it safe, Etc., and he said it was “in perfect running condition.” He was well aware that I have a disability, and was in need of reliable transportation. He went on to say that Orlando car wholesalers “could completely service my car.” I could not agree more with the other people who posted about having a terrible experience from this dealership.

The staff was excellent. - steve.coppedge50

The staff was excellent. They worked very hard and even after hours to find me the right deal. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a quality used car or truck.

Daniel Ahearn & Ben Kairalla were wonderful to deal with - ctgirlsept

Daniel Ahearn & Ben Kairalla were wonderful to deal with on trading my old lease for a new lease... very happy with my deal and the fantastic customer service they both displayed.

Very easy to work with and was able to get me financed even with my bad credit. They offer 2 1/2 year loans and included a 3 month 3,000 mile powertrain warranty for free. Would recommend them to anyone in the Gainesville, FL area.

Terrible, they keep stealing peoples money. Check out the Better Business Bureau and the ripoffreport dot com. I went in to buy a car and they provided $700 of gap insuarnce. Nearly 6 months later the company that gave them the contracts finally contacts me to tell me that Payless Car Sales d/b/a Miami Master Cars, Inc. has not paid them. I called the Attorney General and was told that they could not do anything to get my money back. The worst place imaginable. AFter researching them further, after this debacle, I found I was not the only one this happened to. I was just lucky they paid off the trade-in. It looks like they disbanded as a company and re-incorporated under the same name in Canada. I can't believe they got away with it just because they are a franchise. Payless Car Sales should be held jointly responsible for not checking up on their "company".

I have bought 3 cars from Peninsular Auto over the years and each time the price has been unbeatable and the owner was so friendly. I didn't feel pressured, I felt like I was being helped. I went to other dealerships and I felt like I was being worked into buying a car but not at Peninsular.

Honest dealership great customer service - Michael Porter

This is a great place to buy a car. I drove from Tallahassee after salesman Jeb told everyone he would stay late if he needed to. They had a larger vehicle I have been looking for over a year now. I can't afford a new vehicle of this type but Jeb had one with low miles and a honest price. I was in and out in two hours with a great finance rate. I'd buy from them again any day.

Owner give fights to repair a promised fix - Rob

At time of purchase owner wrote that he would pay for need repair. After many times of taking the car back to his shop and problem was never fixed, he still refusses to allow me to take it to another shop. I paid $100 to a well known and 100 year established shop to find the issue. I recieced it in writting. When I showed it to Wilson (the owner) He said that they are wrong because he will not pay the amount to correctly repair car. However, the car has been back to him 6 times with no resolution. Here's an analogy...Wilson (owner) knows you have cancer but it is going to cost him more money after you paid him and agreeded to take care of it. So he fights with you to say 2 asprains will heal you. When you call his sales person to tell her that the problem is still not fixed after 6 weeks, she tells you that she does not want nto hear it anymore because she has more important customers.

Lies, Promises and Deciet - PatrickSLK350

*** Buyer BEWARE *** ** SCAM ALERT ** I lost $8,000 dollars in one day at RENEWIT Car Care. While living in Atlanta, I found a beautiful 2005 SLK350 Mercedes on the web. After a number of phone calls and research, I flew to RENEWIT in Seminole to buy the car. The team was so accommodating and friendly, it really put me at ease. The car detailer that took the test drive with me said it was the best company that he'd worked at in years. When the taxi dropped me off, I gave it the best inspection I knew. Where I found a problem or question, specifically the navigation, the mechanic looked at it and wasn't sure what the problem was, so the sales manager gave me a book of CD's and told me that would fix it. All throughout the sales process, I was pitched the extended warranty. I had time to decide, but to ease my concern, the salesman assured me several times that the car came with a 3-month engine and drivetrain warranty, so if I didn't want the extended, i was covered. I believed him and drove off, back to Atlanta. When I got home, my wife offering to help me, went into the trunk to get my travel bags and BANG, the trunk lid came crashing down on her head. Apparently, when I was inspecting the trunk on the car lot, the salesman was holding it open, keeping it from crashing down on me. Well, several doctor visits later, she's finally cleared of head trauma issues. Now, by the time I got back to Atlanta, the car wasn't acting correctly. I wasn't sure what it was, so I took it to to a certified Mercedes team to review it. They said it had a code that was an early warning of a catastrophic engine failure and would cost $3,500 to repair. Further, the dual-zone AC unit was broken (which is why it wouldn't adjust). Yes, I asked the RENEWIT mechanic about that, he didn't know. And lastly, the instrument cluster was broken. The grand total for repair was $8,000. Keep in mind, this was diagnosed the day after I bought the car. I called RENEWIT and was offered the warranty again. After calling the warranty company, they said it wasn't a covered item. It was a warranty that sounds good, but does not protect you. I was told by the sales manager that they would swap out the car, just wait for your title to come in. Well, they bungled the out-of-state paperwork, filled it out incorrectly and when the DMV finally processed it, the overcharged fees were refunded to RENEWIT, not me. I guess they felt it was a tip or something. I didn't drive the car anymore. After two months of not driving the car, making car payments, the title came in and I called to make arrangements to return the car. That's when the shadow owner stepped into the sunlight to inform me that he wouldn't honor the 3-month warranty, wouldn't honor his sales managers agreement to take the car back and suggested that I find somewhere else to trade it in. Too bad I didn't buy the warranty, he said. Please see picture excerpt from the sales contract that spells out any representation of the salesperson will not be honored UNLESS IT IS WRITTEN. If it's not written in the sales contract specifically, the existing small print is there to protect the dealer and leave no accomodation for the buyer - hence buyer beware. I lost $8,000 dollars in one day at RENEWIT Car Care. Don't buy a car without heavy documentation of the promises their sales team gives you. Demand to document and have evidence of what you are told.

I had an outstanding experience buying a car at Rennsport. - mike

Rennsport had the most complete photos of any website. That helps when you are buying online. The price was very competitive and I gained a lot of confidence dealing with the salesman. Flying out, I didn't want any surprises and there weren't any. The car was detailed nicely and the paperwork was already addressed for driving out-of-state. I would highly recommend Rennsport Naples to anyone.

I bought my first car at Rhino auto sales and I am very happy. Even though I had bad credit they were able to help me with good financing. thank you!

Never buy anything where this guy is involved. He doesn’t... - Alanirwin

Never buy anything where this guy is involved. He doesn’t do his due diligence and you will end up with a $50,000 lemon that breaks down with a major brake problem requiring a cylinder replacement. No offer of help. Who needs this guy in the first place😭

Just a negative place.... - jeanaccrodbuyer

Very dreary place. The second I walked in the whole atmosphere and attitude was just dreary. They made me feel like they were doing me a favor just by helping me. The guy claiming he was an owner seemed like he's taken one too many steroids and the short guy behind the desk definitely needs to take a xanex or three. The cars seemed so so, barely, in fact a lot of them had fresh repaints and I'm curious if they are wreck redo's or what. Me and my family looked around for a bit but just felt so unwelcome we left without even test driving anything. Take your money elsewhere, their stuff just isn't worth the trouble.

Very friendly and no pressure. - annosborn32

Very friendly and no pressure. I looked over several vehicles and test drove one of them. The vehicle didn't end up being a good match for me, but it was still a very pleasant experience. Yurki was who helped us and he was super nice!

My dealer Pedro was fantastic from the first phone call to the moment he handed us our keys to our Camaro! Answering all my questions from start to finish and going the extra mile to get us the best price on our car. Felt as if management could have cared less about negotiating price it was their number or no sale in my book. I will use Pedro for sure on my next purchase, great salesman! Thank you

Large dealerships should model after this unassuming car lot - Jim W.

Charles and his crew were outstanding in handling my no pressure auto purchase. From paperwork to mechanics and delivery every aspect was fast and efficient. The lot is small and unpretentious but the customer service I received was the best I have experienced. I generally purchase new cars, but if all used car salesmen operated like Sharp Motors their reputation would be much improved. If I need another used car, my first stop would be Sharp Motors. My car had no guarantee but Charles' stated policy is to give priority service to customers if necessary.
