James Sheufelt

On 12/21/2025 I went in to buy a Jeep from Jaden who I have used in the past at another dealership but he was not there. AT that point I should have left, but I went ahead and went with another salesman n have used in the past at another dealership but he was not there. AT that point I should have left, but I went ahead and went with another salesman named James. From the beginning, he could not or would not share with me what the interest rate was going to be every time they would come back with a counter offer. James stated they would go through everything in finance with us. I still was not very happy due to not knowing what I was agreeing with prior to the table!! To make things even crazier, James had stood at my table and requested I put a good review on both sites before I would receive my spare keys to the Jeep which I still had to go back the next day to pick up!! Once I got into finance, the price of the Jeep was not the price quoted to me at the beginning, stating it was to cover the negative on my trade in. In Finance, he rushed through the paperwork so fast he was even signing upside down!! At the end I did not even receive a copy of the paper work other then a flash drive. It is now 02/10/26 and my trade in is still not fully paid off!!!! The company has called me requesting payments, and it is showing on my credit report as missed payments!!!! I am now having to look for an attorney to see what my rights are since this is now negative on my credit report!!!!!! I have called and my husband even went up there and all we keep getting told is they will check on it!!!!! This is my second car I have bought from them, but my first car I had a complete different experience!!!! More

James Sheufelt helped me trade in my car and get set up with a new vehicle pretty quick. Most dealers spend time making you sit and wait. He did not!! A+ service from him. with a new vehicle pretty quick. Most dealers spend time making you sit and wait. He did not!! A+ service from him. More

Dealership's stunning inventory allowed James & Joey to show us alternative Trims & installed Options when our first idea proved too expensive. Both knowlegable men listened to us and quickly found 2 o to show us alternative Trims & installed Options when our first idea proved too expensive. Both knowlegable men listened to us and quickly found 2 or 3 less expensive in-stock vehicles for our consideration. Prices displayed (some in fine print) & discussed were somewhat nebules. Especially the year end incentive hints. Fees add a lot. Add-on warranty presentation was very poor - almost devious. It took significant digging to ID what was being proposed and why we might want the multiple bundles. Pricing was disguised in a lump sum monthly payment display. It got late and we were pressured. We accepted 3 Add-ons. We did not see or understand the deal's components until we got home and printed out a Bill of Sale. Then we were Very Surprised by the pricing on extended warranties. This is not a criticism Of Doug Poe. Rather of the system he is required to use. In the end we do understand the Dealership and the Carriers both need to make a profit. More

I saw a car I wanted, called and spoke to a woman whose name I forgot since it’s been a few weeks. I let her know I was bringing a check from my specific credit union, that I was driving five hours to get name I forgot since it’s been a few weeks. I let her know I was bringing a check from my specific credit union, that I was driving five hours to get there, which car I wanted, I also asked how long does the paperwork take since I would need to leave to drive back within an hour or so. I asked if they were able to hold it she said yes and if there was anything I needed to bring besides DL and the money she said no. I drove the five hours. Once I get there, I test drove the vehicle, played with a few of the features and talked about the heated seats with James S. the salesman. I started the paperwork. They said I couldn’t use my credit union, even though I let them know that before I got there, they stressed how I needed to go through them for financing. I did not want another run on my credit so I was going to leave then they changed their mind. The process took 2 1/2 hours not the hour or less I was quoted. So it postponed my drive back. Then I get in the car after the purchase was done. They couldn’t be bothered to clean or vacuum the car. I drive off the lot as they were closed and my tire lights started going off. It said I needed air pressure so I stopped to put air in and noticed there were no valve caps on the tires. I called multiple times. Finally, someone answered they told me to come back. They provided tire caps, and air. Then on the drive home on a very cold night I’m trying to find the heated seat seats that was advertised. My vehicle does not have heated seats at all. This is not the salesman’s fault since it is stated on the paper however it is the fault of the person who did up the paperwork when the dealer first got the car and put heated seats on there. It was false advertising, I’m waiting for a response from management still. I called James to let him know he didn’t seem to care and offered me a free oil change and car wash, if I was willing to drive five hours to come get it. Why didn’t you wash the car while I was there or during the 5 hrs it took for me to get there. I told him I wanted the heated seats that I was promised. This is absolutely the worst experience I’ve had buying a car and I have had several. No management has reached out to me. Since then, my tires drop 10 psi every seven or eight days so I need brand new tires that cost about $300 for the cheapest SUV tires. I wouldn’t recommend this dealership. They sell cars but don’t seem to be good at basic customer service. I spent over $30k. It’s not the most but I worked hard for it to not have what was promised. $5k over the listed price in “fees”. I was advised to give it 30 days for them to rectify the issue before going the next step. I don’t want seat covers I want the heated seats. My previous car had heated seats. I would have just kept looking for a vehicle if I would’ve known. Now I have a car that is ok but not worth the drive, service and consistent issues I’ve had in the 20 days. More
