These guys are thieves. I did buy a car here and during the test drive the service soon light came on. Should’ve been the first red flag. Afterward, did the car wash. Nobody More

Tea, I apologize that you feel this way about us. It is our top priority to best serve you by providing you with an excellent experience and a high-quality vehicle. I have been trying to find any vehicle that you specifically bought here or at any of our locations. From all of my records, I don't have any purchases or service records from you with us. So, I am a bit confused here. It must have been someone you know that purchased from us? It is next to impossible for me to navigate my way back to a specific deal without having proper information from the buyer. If you can provide me with those details, I would be happy to clarify any of this up! Regarding our free car washes with lifetime ownership of any vehicle purchased from us, that is something we are proud to say we offer here. We just installed a new car wash less than two years ago at our Illinois Road location and in the past month installed a new wash at our Lima Road location. With today's technology, it is a fully automated wash once the vehicle is lined up and in its respected parked location. We are proud to offer such a convenience for our customers as long as the "Preferred Auto" sticker is on the back! Lastly Tea, I want to note we are not and have never been in the business to steal. As I mentioned earlier, we are in the business of providing our community with top quality service and full-blown transparency for their automotive needs, whether that be in sales or service. Thank you for the feedback as we are always looking to improve. Have a wonderful day.
