I'm a victim of deceptive and unfair trade practices by Taverna Auto Collection in West Palm Beach, FL. I'm requesting any documentation regarding an alleged investigation by the Florida Attorney Genera Taverna Auto Collection in West Palm Beach, FL. I'm requesting any documentation regarding an alleged investigation by the Florida Attorney General's office against Taverna. My complaint against Taverna: I bought a used car from them in May of 2025, which required more than $3000.00 worth of repairs on the lane assist and front collision safety items that should have been working as part of the standard vehicle package. (see window sticker attached). I concede they knew about the issues and failed to advise me prior to purchase. Furthermore, they lowered the list price of the vehicle from approx. $13,500 to my purchase price of $9094.00. When I asked them why they lowered the price they said their inventory was high and they were just trying to sell it quickly. I asked them if there was anything wrong with the car and they said it was "working great" with "no problems." Two salesmen, and a sales manager claimed that nothing was wrong with the car and that I would have no problems and I would be very satisfied. Upon delivery (it was shipped via truck to my Ohio address on about May 30th.) When I received the car it was dirty on the outside and the inside and had not been detailed as promised. Please note that I did not see the car in person and only saw the video of the car that they emailed to me prior to purchase. It did not show the dashboard warning lights that clearly alerted the driver to the safety issues that were not working. Also, they did not detail the car as promised and there were no floor mats as shown on the window sticker. When I had the car serviced at a local Nissan dealer, they advised that the safety issue repairs would cost approx. $3000 to fix. Additionally, I paid about $350.00 for recalls that were still undone. I called Taverna more than 20 times and left numerous voicemails because I could not reach Barbie, the customer advocate manager. When I did speak with her she denied knowing about the issues and said the car was sold as is so they had no expectation to fix the problems. I sent her the estimate and invoice for the repairs from the Nissan dealer along with a video detailing and proving the issues from the Nissan dealer. Again, Barbie discounted the video as unsubstantiated and she would take no responsibility for repairs. She started to offer some "compensation" for the detailing but I told her that if she wasn't going to handle the repairs for the safety issues, I didn't want her help with the detailing. Final note: I specifically asked the salesmen if the car included the lane assist safety features and they assured me it did. I told them that the lane assist feature was one of the main reasons I was buying the car because I often fall asleep at the wheel during morning and afternoon commutes. They both confirmed those features came with the car. You'll see on the window sticker that they are a standard feature. Furthermore, they are standard on all Nissan Leaf cars. More

The did not cover the seats with anything to protect the leather.( LIGHT BEIGE ). The exterior was not even washed. When I spoke with the service advisor regarding the issue, he said he was sorry and let me leave without correcting the problem. I have tried reaching out to Nick Boustead as well as the owner Reny Dubon-Taverna. Only voice mails. NEVER AGAIN will I go back to this dealership! More

AVOID THIS DEALERSHIP! They offer attractive pricing but obscene fees like $2000+ for dealer processing and delivery. Their customer service is null and void once a sale They offer attractive pricing but obscene fees like $2000+ for dealer processing and delivery. Their customer service is null and void once a sale is consummated. Promises are completely forgotten and everyone that works there seems to buy into that culture. Jeremy Mora- Initial salesman who went completely AWOL after the sale. Alon Kleiman-salesman promised a full tank of gas. Candice Williams, Office Manager who had the car delivered to my house without gas, without a second key, without temporary license tags and even without the 2 bolts to hold them! Nick Boustead, General Manager ignored my written letters but instructed Candice Williams to call me and offer $150 to appease my complaints. But of course, the check was never written! I tried to make this purchase a simple one but this dealership behaves much more like a typical “used car xxxxxxx!” More
