We found the right used vehicle for us. The service department addressed and fixed a brake issue we found on the test drive. We agreed on a price. Then the nightmare began. Next day, we bro The service department addressed and fixed a brake issue we found on the test drive. We agreed on a price. Then the nightmare began. Next day, we brought the certified check for agreed price. Salesperson was apathetic, slow and it took about 3 hours to complete the transaction. We paid them the registration and sales tax so they could register the vehicle for us. The lies began when the temp plate expired i.e., salesman - “the DMV wants it sent FedEx” but if I called and spoke to the receptionist she said “the courier hasn’t gotten to yours yet”. The truth was they do have a real, live person going to the DMV. The salesman told us “it’s ok to drive on expired temp plates, you have a 7 day grace period.” We called DMV, not true. It turns out, after the temp plate expired, the required VIN number inspection by police had not been done. Registration would have been impossible without this. Now we have a vehicle at home that we can’t drive to the VIN inspection. The dealer gave us a dealer plate in order to drive legally. Next, we noticed in our paperwork no copy of the limited warranty. State law requires it and it is effective when the copy is in hand. We were told varying versions of lies but miraculously a few days before the warranty expired, we got a copy! I would not recommend this dealership for a scooter! It felt like they delayed in order to let the warranty expire. Fortunately, our mechanic has gone through the vehicle and finds it to be sound. We eventually received plates and registration close to 60 days after purchase. It was a terrible experience. More

Dirty illegal finance scams. Do not shop here. They ruin your credit by running it many times, then lie about financing to just get you to sign the paperwork at a higher APR with a different credit uni ruin your credit by running it many times, then lie about financing to just get you to sign the paperwork at a higher APR with a different credit union.

No one picks up or calls you back I lost my car just weeks after buying it due to a flash flood that went through my garage.

I've been waiting for over 3 months for the check from my cancelled dealer warranty which I need to pay off the last of that loan. My bank and I keep calling, but no one picks up and no one calls back. It's about to permanently affect my credit and still no one calls back. I bought my replacement car with them too. Silly of me I guess. Definitely not going back again and I would warn people to be wary of this place's financial team and managers. The rest of the team seems nice, but at the end of they day this dealership doesn't have your back. They are happy to take your money, but not at all good at helping you once they have it. Don't expect prompt service from them unless you haven't given them your money yet. More
