Buyer Beware! - Elementgirl

Buyer Beware! This is one of the most dishonest dealerships I have ever encountered! I was bought this car from out of state because it had low mileage and a great price. I contacted Magic Motors and was put in touch with Julian. He assured me the car was great. He emailed that there were no mechanical problems, it ran perfectly, and I would have no problem registering it. His exact words - "it's in good mechanical order." Since I couldn't take it on a test drive, he offered to do a video chat while he test drive it for me. He was very patient and answered all my questions. I felt comfortable enough to get the car. I was a little shocked when he said he would arrange shipping and the company he chose was $200 more than every company I called. I ended up going with my shipping company. I also started to get a little concerned when I told him I had arranged pick up for the next day and he said he needed a 2-3 day notice. Upon arrival my car looked great and the interior was very clean. However, I was only able to drive it for less than 8 miles before the check engine light came on. Julian knew that I lived in Georgia and I made it clear to him that we have emission testing that we must pass in order to register our cars. Also, the car was making a very strange rattle. I took the car to my mechanic (and got pulled over and got a warning because the title wasn't mailed until 10 days after the sale and I had NO proof of ownership except for my emails) and he said my car was in no way in "good mechanical order" it was barely drivable! Among various problems, I had emission codes pop up that had to be fixed in order to register the car, my radiator was fracked, I had two oil leaks, zip tied parts AND THERE WAS A 70,000 mile descepency on the odometer! I immediately got in contact with my bank and they said I could absolutely dispute my charge and get my money back. I called, emailed and texted Magic Motors. Julian promised to make things right. He even admitted to their mechanic clearing the check engine light to keep the cost of the car down (because they don't have emissions testing in FL.) He asked me to send in the estimate from my mechanic and I did. I went ahead and authorized the repairs because Julian gave me his word that they were going to fix this and that this wasn't their normal business practice. I followed up with Julian and that's when he told me they would not cover labor only the parts and that they would send me parts. WHAT?! They sent me a defective car and now they want me to trust the parts they send? Not to mention, at this point my car is nearly finished. I told them that wasn't acceptable, honestly, they should cover all of the emissions related repairs, but if not covering labor is their policy then they needed to at least cover the parts. Nothing Now they are ignoring all forms of communications. There is nothing more I can do, but warn people about them. They are deceptive at best and will not fix their mistakes, and I would definitely beware of Julian! FYI- They have an F on BBB, two reports filed on Ripoffreport.com and if you look through the reviews on cars.com- you'll notice that 64 of them are posted in a 3 day span (boosting there own score).

Care about their customers. - MrsRivets

Magic Motors had a vehicle I was interested in, and I contacted them. They let me know there was a mistake with the posting, and it was not the correct transmission. They immediately corrected the post. A lot of dealerships will post false information to trick people, but Magic Motors seems to have just made a mistake, and they cleared it up pronto. Wish they had the car I wanted!!!! lol

If I could give less than 1 star, I would. - enana43

If I could give less than 1 star, I would. I DO NOT recommend this dealership. We purchased a vehicle for this dealership, and within HOURS (after only driving for less than 30 miles), the car stalled, would not accelerate, and we could not change gears. We reached out to them, and they arranged for a tow truck to pick up the vehicle (for which we were very grateful). While the tow truck driver placed the car on the tow truck's bed, we observed transmission fluid on the floor. Three days later, they told us that the problem was that the transmission drain plug must have fallen off as it was missing. TWO days later, the engine and the tire pressure sensor lights turned on. We took the vehicle to our trusted mechanic and discovered the following issues: -The transmission gasket is leaking. -Failed catalytic converter -Bad breaks (left front almost metal to metal) -Worn shocks - New tires are needed, along with two new tire pressure sensors. -Observed the passenger front tire assembly and the headlight are in a much newer condition than the rest of the car, with markings on the nuts and lines where they need to be re-tinted after a replacement. The mechanic suspected the vehicle was in an accident and was not reported. -Also, suspect the odometer was disconnected or replaced. Therefore, the recorded driven miles are inaccurate, and the car has way more than the 45,560 miles reported. Overall the car is in worst shape than we initially thought. Being a 2017 Hyundai vehicle with 45,560 miles, we expected the car to be in a much better condition. Yes, it is a used vehicle, and a few issues are expected (oil change, breaks, and possibly tires), but not a replacement of the catalytic converter, the transmission leaking, new shocks ,or a car with a fraudulent odometer and an undisclosed accident. We contacted them again to return the vehicle or at least cover some of the repair costs (in total, over $5000). They entirely refused and did not want to work with us, claiming that they did not know what we had done to the vehicle since we purchased it. We have only had the car for ten days, 3 of which were in their possession, and have driven at most 70 miles (50 of them to drive from the leadership to our residence). We suggested taking it to their trusted mechanic or a Hyundai dealership to confirm our findings, but they refused. They do not inspect their vehicles before they are sold. DO NOT BUY from this place.

This Dealership is the worst to buy a car from. They have... - mslariene

This Dealership is the worst to buy a car from. They have changed their name from Leilnger Auto Sales Inc. To Neighborhood Auto Sales simply because they provide terrible service they have terrible reviews. I purchased A car from them in 2009 and paid the vehicle off in 2010.After dealing with a repo, them disappearing without a trace,and mailing payments, I finally paid the vehicle off. They are trying to charge me even more money for me to retrieve my title.They treat people like they are animals. I tried my very best to cooperate with him, by keeping in contact if I made any changes. I called them constantly, left messages, and no respond. I know my rights, and this is not fair for this business to take advantage of innocent people.

The Absolute Worst - 1971Mach1

Awful!!! I purchased a car at Orlando Car Wholesalers through Ralph AKA “June,” and I requested that they change the bulbs because some were not working for the tail lights,etc. I also asked if they serviced cars —oil changes, transmission, and coolant, and was told that they certainly could do that for $200. This was on a Saturday, and I was informed my car would be ready on that following Monday. They were to drop it off at my address. Monday came and went, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, they wouldn’t even call me back for updates. Where was my car I wondered, and what was going on? Finally, Thursday I received a text message “they were on the way, “ but many, many hours passed, and my car had not arrived. I asked where they were, and no one answered. Friday, the car was dropped off early in the morning. They hurried off after leaving the car at my address. When I get inside of the car and start it, the check engine light is on, all of the indicator lamps are glowing, it showed below E for fuel, and the gas cap was caved in. The tires appeared to have been switched. They were dangerous with severe rot and tread showing. The tire pressure was 10 psi all the way around. I had to pry the gas cover open with a screwdriver so that I could put some fuel in it. Yes, they actually dropped off the car in that condition and left. It was running or else I would not have even purchased it. What the xxxx did they do to the car while they had it? Needless to say, I was not amused because this was not the car I looked at, and They were unwilling to even discuss anything with me. The Sheriffs department were contacted by myself and my attorney. I am wondering how many other people this has happened to? My car had a blown head gasket and other issues. Purchasing an older vehicle, I was prepared for possibility of near future maintenance work such as looking into perhaps a new timing belt & water pump, And having it looked at elsewhere. I asked June/Ralph many times if there was anything wrong with the car, anything that needed immediate attention, any recommendations, was it safe, Etc., and he said it was “in perfect running condition.” He was well aware that I have a disability, and was in need of reliable transportation. He went on to say that Orlando car wholesalers “could completely service my car.” I could not agree more with the other people who posted about having a terrible experience from this dealership.

The staff was excellent. - steve.coppedge50

The staff was excellent. They worked very hard and even after hours to find me the right deal. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a quality used car or truck.

Terrible, they keep stealing peoples money. Check out the... - g982

Terrible, they keep stealing peoples money. Check out the Better Business Bureau and the ripoffreport dot com. I went in to buy a car and they provided $700 of gap insuarnce. Nearly 6 months later the company that gave them the contracts finally contacts me to tell me that Payless Car Sales d/b/a Miami Master Cars, Inc. has not paid them. I called the Attorney General and was told that they could not do anything to get my money back. The worst place imaginable. AFter researching them further, after this debacle, I found I was not the only one this happened to. I was just lucky they paid off the trade-in. It looks like they disbanded as a company and re-incorporated under the same name in Canada. I can't believe they got away with it just because they are a franchise. Payless Car Sales should be held jointly responsible for not checking up on their "company".

I have bought 3 cars from Peninsular Auto over the years and each time the price has been unbeatable and the owner was so friendly. I didn't feel pressured, I felt like I was being helped. I went to other dealerships and I felt like I was being worked into buying a car but not at Peninsular.

Honest dealership great customer service - Michael Porter

This is a great place to buy a car. I drove from Tallahassee after salesman Jeb told everyone he would stay late if he needed to. They had a larger vehicle I have been looking for over a year now. I can't afford a new vehicle of this type but Jeb had one with low miles and a honest price. I was in and out in two hours with a great finance rate. I'd buy from them again any day.

Owner give fights to repair a promised fix - Rob

At time of purchase owner wrote that he would pay for need repair. After many times of taking the car back to his shop and problem was never fixed, he still refusses to allow me to take it to another shop. I paid $100 to a well known and 100 year established shop to find the issue. I recieced it in writting. When I showed it to Wilson (the owner) He said that they are wrong because he will not pay the amount to correctly repair car. However, the car has been back to him 6 times with no resolution. Here's an analogy...Wilson (owner) knows you have cancer but it is going to cost him more money after you paid him and agreeded to take care of it. So he fights with you to say 2 asprains will heal you. When you call his sales person to tell her that the problem is still not fixed after 6 weeks, she tells you that she does not want nto hear it anymore because she has more important customers.
