I had a very frustrating experience with this dealership - ColtonP
I had a very frustrating experience with this dealership related to the $4,000 federal used EV tax credit.
I purchased my vehicle on August 1, 2025. What should have been a straightforward process turned into a 236-day issue due to the dealership’s failure to properly complete required IRS reporting.
My primary point of contact was Timothy McClure. After my purchase, I made multiple documented attempts to obtain a copy of the required IRS time-of-sale report and confirmation that it had been submitted correctly. The following outreach attempts went unanswered or unresolved:
• August 16, 2025
• August 20, 2025
• August 25, 2025
• September 17, 2025
It was not until September 19, 2025—49 days after my purchase—that I finally received documentation. The report at that time was incomplete, required additional information, and contained incorrect details, including an inaccurate date of sale that did not reflect my actual purchase date of August 1, 2025.
Because of the dealership’s delay and inaccurate reporting, my tax return was initially rejected when attempting to claim the $4,000 credit.
Despite continued follow-up, the issue remained unresolved for months. I was ultimately forced to file a complaint with the Ohio Attorney General’s Office and proceed through AUTOCAP mediation in order to get the dealership to take corrective action.
Only after this escalation did the dealership resubmit the documentation to the IRS.
While I was eventually able to successfully file my taxes, this outcome came after 236 days of follow-ups, delays, and avoidable complications caused by errors that should have been handled correctly at the time of sale.
If you are purchasing a vehicle that involves any type of tax credit or required reporting, I strongly recommend verifying that all documentation is completed accurately and submitted immediately. Do not assume it will be handled properly after the sale.
