Overall

Sold me a car with leaky manifold gaskets, and a leaking exhaust system, as well as failing front suspension. (Tie Rods, Pitman and Idler Arm) for 1,700. I inspected for oil leaks which I found none, until I checked and the whole oil pan was drained and oil spills were cleaned, giving the interpretation that no oil leaks were there. Soon as I filled the car with oil, a few days later there's sludge all over near the oil filter. Bought the car in April and still haven't received my title for the car so I can sell and get off my hands. One of the employees called threatening to repossess my vehicle because nobody seemed to document that I paid for the car. I had to come in with my receipts to verify I was paid in full. And also another worker there drove the car over these huge parking cinder blocks causing some of the mud flap plastic to break off and lodge between the caliper and rotor, causing a small fire in the caliper while I had my infant daughter in the car with me. Nobody EVER answers the phones, nor do they check the answering machine and return calls. Every time I show up to ask about my title I get the runaround about "new software" he has to figure out and get my title mailed. This place is a junk yard and do not i repeat DO NOT spend your money here. I've already spent more on maintenance and repair than I paid for the damn car.

I must have been there shortly...

I must have been there shortly after Big John Sloan. I looked at there website and found a car that I REALLY wanted. I called to make sure it was there. "Sure it's here no problem. Runs and drives great. Tell you what" the person answering the phone said, " I'll make sure it's all washed and ready to be seen. And make sure there is gas for a test drive". How effing comforting. Big John, if you're reading this, when I got there I found two people who appeared to be "fighting" for lead or control of the dealership. I also encountered someone who was just leaving. His parting words were, "don't buy nothing from these thieves" as he was walking away.



I proceeded to look for the car I was interested and was met by a salesman. What a joke. No smile, no handshake, nothing. Just "What kind of money do you got to spend?" Wow. Wonderful grammer buddy. I ended up telling him I was just looking around. I asked by year, make, model and color and ADVERTISED miles for the car I found online. Oppps. "Well, we jus happen to sell dat car. But here, over this way is another'n that you will like better." Really? You're telling me what I'll like and won't like?????? I thanked him for his time and walked off the lot.



PUNKS!! I'd rather ride with MTC then try nurturing one of their bucket of bolts and wires around.



THANKS BIG JOHN. Wish I'd have read your review before I went all the way over there. Scum bag sockcuckers.

THIS PLACE SUCKS. I went ther...

THIS PLACE SUCKS. I went there looking for a car that was serviceable, fuel efficient and safe. They showed me a car that had broken door handles, that instrument panel didn't light up and the rotors where so warped that I was scared to touch the brake pedal. Oh and the seat back was broken. They have half dead vehicles there. They lie to the customers about the mileage. They show inventory that they have NEVER had there. When a potential customer calls or stops they have mysteriously "sold" the vehicle of interest. But not to worry.....they always have something else that will suit your needs. WHAT A CROCK OF $HIT. There are exactly two and a half honest people there. (1) An older white man who sells cars,(2) an middle aged looking white man who works there part time as a mechanic/consultant (1/2) Chris an African, the owner. Not sure how long this place will be here. But people need to know the real scoop on this $hit factory.



TELL EM BIG JOHN SLOAN SENT YOU.
