My daughter bought a car from here a couple weeks ago. Got on interstate to drive home, lights came on and lost speed on the middle of the interstate. Got home and Found a paper in the car that was a $3000 estimate for a new hybrid battery. Called and said they would work with us or return her money only to be put off for weeks and told sorry nothing they can do. Definitely not even a 1 star but had to put something.
Cheap car ($1500) so I expected some issues. It needed new brakes which I was told but the fuel gauge was messed up and they had to know that since they drove it but they failed to mention that to me. (It says F even when it's about empty while it's moving... Only changes once the car has been stopped for a minute.) Needed basic maintenance (oil change, new wiper blades, spark plugs, and tires) which is to be expected. Also needed new o2 sensors, wheel hub assembly, starter, ignition switch and lock cylinder. It also leaks oil...it's a slow leak so maybe that was undetected. There may be other issues with it, I'm not that mechanically inclined. It comes down to, you get what you pay for. I wouldn't recommend buying from these guys if you don't have a good idea what to look for. They're
My friend and I got a car from here which seemed great at first. The shop was a mess and the office cluttered full of trash. Then we got back home and now it had all sorts of issues.The engine light came on. There were multiple codes. We found the issues. They must have been cleared from the computer during the test drive. Cause we found multiple hoses completely fallen apart in the engine bay. It came with 2 junk front tires. We replaced them. Turns out the rims are bent. The keys do not work for unlocking the door by button. Also the d/s front door lock does not work. So there is no way to lock the car when you get out. The car needed a lot more than what was posted in his add. Beware of buying from here. To get the car home I had to use the full size spare from my BMW and the full size
Bought an SUV from here and had to fix things on it right away. So $500 and two weeks later it stopped working. Come to find out it needs a new catalytic converter. Was never told about any of these problems and of course it was sold "as is". Now I have a car I paid 3250 for that wont run.
They sold me a car that broke down day two and they tried blaming me for it. I wouldn't recommend this place even if they paid me.
