WARNING: AVOID C3 AUTO SALES – DECEPTIVE PRACTICES & WORTHLESS WARRANTY! I am urging anyone considering purchasing a vehicle from C3 Auto Sales to think twice before making a decision. This dealershi WORTHLESS WARRANTY! I am urging anyone considering purchasing a vehicle from C3 Auto Sales to think twice before making a decision. This dealership sold me a vehicle with severe pre-existing mechanical issues and has refused to take any responsibility. On top of that, the warranty they offer is nearly useless, especially for higher-mileage vehicles, as they make it incredibly difficult to get repairs covered. Odometer at Purchase: 114,161 miles Current Odometer: 116,620 miles (Only 2,459 miles driven!) Purchase Price: $28,955.20 Shortly after I started driving the vehicle regularly in November of 2024, I experienced severe misfires and engine issues. Over the course of several months and thousands of dollars in repairs, it became clear that this vehicle was sold to me with undisclosed, pre-existing mechanical failures. Despite multiple repair attempts—including replacing spark plugs, the EGR valve, and the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)—the problems persisted. After spending $3,300 out-of-pocket and receiving zero help from the warranty company, I finally had the vehicle thoroughly inspected by Integrity Car Care, where they uncovered the true extent of the damage: What the Mechanic Found: ✔ Camshaft failure – Engine needs full replacement. ✔ Lifters and cam synchronizing loops damaged, causing metal-on-metal friction. ✔ Coolant leaking into the cylinders – Continuous misfiring. ✔ Water and rust present in the combustion chamber, cylinder walls, and rings. ✔ Loose bolts and brackets near the valve cover – Evidence of tampering. ✔ Rust at the top of the cylinder heads – Signs of long-term neglect. The mechanic explicitly stated that these issues could not have developed within 2,459 miles and were clearly pre-existing when the dealership sold me the vehicle. The presence of loose bolts, rust, and improperly secured components strongly suggests that the vehicle was tampered with before the sale to hide its defects. Fraudulent Practices & Worthless Warranty 🚨 Concealment of Mechanical Issues: The dealership either knew or should have known about the defects but chose to sell the car anyway without disclosure. This is fraudulent misrepresentation under Texas consumer protection laws. 🚨 Deceptive Warranty Practices: The warranty they provide is nearly impossible to use—especially for high-mileage vehicles—because they find every loophole possible to deny coverage. It is essentially a worthless sales tactic rather than real protection. Next Steps & Warning to Others I am now in the process of filing formal complaints with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles Enforcement Division and other consumer protection agencies. If you are considering buying from C3 Auto Sales, DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID. Their lack of transparency, refusal to stand by their vehicles, and deceptive warranty practices make them an untrustworthy dealership. I will continue pursuing legal action and publicly exposing their fraudulent behavior. Potential buyers, beware! 🚨 More

Absolutely awesome! !! I normally dread buying cars but working with these guys makes me want to buy another car from them. Best car buying experience I have ever had. T !! I normally dread buying cars but working with these guys makes me want to buy another car from them. Best car buying experience I have ever had. This place was worth the 4.5hour drive. The truck was exactly as what was pictured and they want to make sure that the customer is satisfied with the purchase. There was one issue with the truck that came up when they were filling the tank up and the pump kept shutting off. We had already bought the truck when this was discovered and they didn't want us to take the truck until that was fixed. Since we drove a long distance and they could not get it fixed that day they offered to deliver the truck to us when it was fixed or pay for our flight to pick the truck up later. We chose deliver the truck. They also filled our tank for the ride home, now who does that. I would give them 10stars if that was an option. We will be back when we are in the market for another vehicle. You will not be disappointed with C3 Auto for your vehicle purchase. More
