The price was fine, but they failed to show me a CARFAX and the vehicle was REPORTED STOLEN and they never disclosed that to me. I understand it’s my duty as a customer research the Cecile before buying, b and the vehicle was REPORTED STOLEN and they never disclosed that to me. I understand it’s my duty as a customer research the Cecile before buying, but for a franchise to not show a carfax and knowing it was previously stolen is not right. Why didn’t I check? Because I trusted I was buying from a franchise dealer, not a buy here pay here dealership. Bad business practices! Be aware before buying here, not honest people or upfront with the vehicle history or prior history. More

Sell you cars without seeing if there is anything wrong with them. Supposedly it's a big dealership but the vehicles for sale are not even checked or fixed. They are just semi worked on just enough so that with them. Supposedly it's a big dealership but the vehicles for sale are not even checked or fixed. They are just semi worked on just enough so that when you test drive they look great but after your purchase they will start having problems the same day you take it home. Make sure ti get warranty because you will be back more than you think More

I am pleased with the customer service, however I felt a little uncertainty from the floor manager who guaranteed my concerns were not a concern when he wouldn’t put that guarantee in writing.

When you hear about those dealerships that really make you take it up the arse when buying a used car.... this is one of them. Nothing but a bunch of liars including the sales person Tyler and the service you take it up the arse when buying a used car.... this is one of them. Nothing but a bunch of liars including the sales person Tyler and the service manager Derek. 1. I bought a certified preowned camaro there. They never did the inspection to begin with...they just checked the boxes falsifying documents which is against the law. 2. They lied on Carfax saying they did repairs when they didnt do that until I was there buying it and I could see it wasn't done.... again falsifying documents. 3. Took it to another dealer because it was still vibrating after John Thornton service looked at it a 2nd time and said "oh its probably just a bent wheel". Didn't even fix it. The other dealer told me all 4 wheels were bent and that it would be $3k to replace them. 4. John Thornton told me they would replace all 4 wheels with new ones to bring it in. I get a call from Kurt stating the front wheels weren't bent and that they were only going to refurbish my back ones. 5. A week after driving it the AC stopped working on this CERTIFIED PREOWNED CAR! 6. Let's not forget about the financing girl who told me when I came in her office that my payment would be X amount of dollars which was double what it should be without telling me she had added in all the warranties and service without ever asking me if I wanted them. Just said this is your payment OK. Had I not questioned why my payment was double the price and just signed for my car I would have never known she added all of that in. I asked her to take it out and she then gave me another amount that still had things rolled into it and did this a 3rd and 4th time after repeatedly telling her NO and to take everything put! Most dealerships show you a paper asking what you want to add. Not this dealership...they just take you for all your worth hiding it all. Wrong person to try that with when I have bought 20 cars! 7. Never ever trust buying a car here or having service do anything to it. They are a complete joke! More
