Buyer beware, they sneak a “$975 dealer fee” thats actually an anti-theft insurance and if you object they say “well it’ll be a dealer fee with no insurance. “ On way home A/C went out, called and no actually an anti-theft insurance and if you object they say “well it’ll be a dealer fee with no insurance. “ On way home A/C went out, called and no follow up by salesman or management, luckily took car into Chevy and was covered under warranty, other than car listed for good price overall experience was worst I have ever had. So much so that a coworker wants to buy similar car and I absolutely wouldn’t recommend them to go here because I feel they don’t support what they sell. I’ve called Allen a half dozen times , left numerous messages and he will not return my call. More

Went to test drive a car, we were passed around from salesman to salesman. While looking at the lot there were cars that look like they've been in accidents or at a cheap car auction, a few cars even ha salesman to salesman. While looking at the lot there were cars that look like they've been in accidents or at a cheap car auction, a few cars even had some ghetto style clips to keep the bumper on. The car that we looked the lights are not working and the car would not even get into first gear before we even test drove it. Seems like the dealership does not even look at the cars before they put them out and if they do it is a Band-Aid so they can sell. Yes they have a 30-day warranty but it only pays 50% of labor and parts, and let me guess the parts have 150% markup. The only reason I'm giving two stars is because the salesman was polite. More

Do not buy a car from these people.. they took $312.51 from my sons bank account to make the first payment because the car was not fully funded. To our surprised Westlake called my son indicating that h from my sons bank account to make the first payment because the car was not fully funded. To our surprised Westlake called my son indicating that he was late on his payment. Despite numerous attempts to fix this, no result. But we will file a police report since this is clearly a case of theft since CA motor in Santa Ana Kept the money.. i will be more than happy to join any legal case as a witness in order to assist/help your legal matters anybody has in order to help your case. Companies like these should NOT be in business... i would rate less if it gave me an option!!!! More

I am having such a hard time trying to contact the district manager Mr. Arnold. The sales man refuse to give me Mr. Arnold last name. I have a auto fraud case with them . I was advised by the bank t district manager Mr. Arnold. The sales man refuse to give me Mr. Arnold last name. I have a auto fraud case with them . I was advised by the bank to seek legal representation cause they defrauded me with lies and manipulation. I asked if the car was in a previous ACCIDENT I was told it had no previous accidents, NO ACCIDENTS" I drove 3 hours to their Stanton location. Once there a sales man named Gus took over the negotiations, we were there almost 5 hours trying to negotiate with the bank, finally I got approved by Capital one. At the end of signing the paperwork Mr Gus tells me that the car had a minor accident nothing serious he said, that it was only the front bumper and that they replaced it and painted it..with that being said my husband my brother in law and I went outside to inspect the front bumper it look ok, Gus assured me the damage was just superficial, for me not to worry. Trusting what Gus was saying, I bought the car..mind you I was already told that the car had no previous ACCIDENTS..I drove back home 3 hour drive. happy to have the car. But my joy didn't last long a few weeks ago a took the car to the Dodge Dealership in Selma California so they cold fix the AC because it's not cooling. Donge dealership did an inspection on the Dodge charger they tell me the car was in a serious accident with significant damage under the engine.. they told me that the manufacturer warranty would not cover the repairs because the damage was done due to a mayor accident, not a minor accident like Mr. Gus made me believe..Now I'm seeking legal representation so I can get my money back..I have all the text messages where he tells me the car had no accidents. I have all the documentation from the Dodge Dealership where they write their findings of the car, and I have pictures of the damage..my next step is calling the Better Business Bureau and make a report...for the past week I been trying to talk to Mr Arnold to discuss this and he is not answering or calling me back. I made several calls to talk to Mr Soko another general manager but he refused to take my calls. Mr. Gus asked Mr. Soko to take my call but he replied that it was senseless to talk to me because he couldn't help me that the only person that could help resolve this situation is Mr Arnold the District General manager..Mr Arnold has not call me back and is not taking my calls I will not rest untill I get this resolved if they leave me no choice it will have to be in court..

I paid a $500 deposit on a Sunday and was asked to bring in a cashiers check for the remaining balance of $10,676. Monday I went to the bank to secure the cashiers check however the banking information I g in a cashiers check for the remaining balance of $10,676. Monday I went to the bank to secure the cashiers check however the banking information I gave to this dealer was used to electronically remove $10,676 from my bank account! The dealer insisted they did not do this and demanded a cashiers check if I wanted to buy the car which I placed a deposit on. So, a random thief got my banking info and electronically stole the EXACT amount I was withdrawing in the form of a cashiers check? HAHAHAHA. This dealer, or an employee of this dealer, was identified by my bank as the culprit that took the funds with a fraudulent electronic check. My bank put the funds back and went after the culprit. Buyer beware as this is blatant identity theft and and egregious misuse of consumer trust! I bought the car with a cashiers check after the bank replaced the stolen money and the fraud department went after the culprit. The manager, salesman, finance manager all insisted no one from the dealer did this in spite of my bank telling me exactly what happened. I even tried to give them the benefit of doubt and suggested it was a mistake. Nope, insisted the above referenced persons, Nope they continued to state, Nope they insisted they were innocent, even with the Banks evidence. Clearly the fraud department at the bank will manage this but again STAY AWAY or NEVER give them any identifying information!!! More
