BUYER BEWARE. MY review (that I was asked to give while still in their office which should have been my first red flag) was initially 5 stars. I wonder how many of MY review (that I was asked to give while still in their office which should have been my first red flag) was initially 5 stars. I wonder how many of these 5 star reviews would still be 5 stars a few months later. We purchased a car from Clement 9 months ago. Suddenly, the car started just dieing out of no where. We took it to 3 mechanics, and no one could figure out what was wrong with it. We were finally advised to take it to the dealership. After we took the car back to Clement, it suddenly became very hard to reach them. They initially called me from a random number that did not show up on caller ID and didn't leave any voicemail. Once I figured out it was them and tried to return the calls, I was constantly put on hold and given the run around. My husband eventually gave up on phone calls and went up there. When we did finally speak with someone, we were told it would be $170 just to run a diagnostic. I agreed because what else could I do. Then we were told it would be $1300 to fix it. Which we just do not have. When I first posted my review Clement responded that $170 is industry standard for a diagnostic. I have spoken with about 4 area mechanics to get quotes for running a diagnostic and was advised by all places that they charge around $87 or less, so no it is not industry standard. I also took the car to another mechanic and showed them the list of parts Clement tried to charge me $1300 for. First they said the price was outrageous. Secondly, they said there was absolutely no way the parts listed could have anything to do with our issue. If you want to pay $6000+ for a car that will amount to scrap in 8 months, this is the right place to go. If you need reliable transportation for longer then a couple months though you may want to look elsewhere. There are a ton of reviews like mine out there, but Clement buries them with the 5 star reviews they ask for in office. Please take the time to dig and find the truth. At first I thought maybe there was no way Clement could have seen this coming. I mean hey, I'm not a mechanic. After reading so many reviews, as well as speaking to a mechanic I am beginning to realize that I don't think Clement employees any mechanics either (regardless of what they tell you) More
