"Terrible dealer, can't communicate with no one, Pure Problem"

AN

Usually I hardly give any bad reviews… but I’m going to do this time! About 1 month ago we purchased Used 2017 Certified Toyota Camry. They told us that We are purchasing “Like New” Vehicle with peace of mind that Vehicle is reconditioned to strict Toyota specifications… That car passed 160 point Quality Assurance Inspection…bla-bla-bla. Bought and drove the car home and decided to inspect car by myself. 1st checked under car: most of the under car splash guard clips were not there, and if we drove like that we could loose the splash guard, front bumper was dislocated from place with half broken/missing clips… According to Certification document cabin and engine filters were supposibly replaced, Wiper blades were changed too… Noting was done! Non of the fluids were at correct level. They even didn't vacuum the car... The worst problem was that when I hooked up my Autel Scan tool… there was an error code P1604. And this vehicle supposes to be reconditioned… Certified??? I tried to contact General Manager Dave Hilman to complain… for days I left multiple massages, multiple e-mails… No response. Called dealership… response was-{{He is in meeting and can’t talk right now... leave a massage!}}. I was unsuccessful to communicate with him. After calling to their corporate to Ken Garff Automotive Group.. Finally they forced this Dave Hilman guy to speak to me. Then they agreed to fix the problems I found on the car... After that I had to waste lots of time waiting in dealership problems corrected… 2 Saturdays. They finally fixed most of the problems I found! There still some problems left... I decided Not to go there again and fix them by myself. Also they initially charged me $297 for License fee for DMV, even do my registration was good for another 5 months...but when I received the car registration, only $23 was paid. For few days I was trying to hunt a live person at that dealership so I can ask my money back. If I didn’t call to ask $$ refund they probably would have “eaten” my money! Anything was related to this dealership was a Negative/ experience or a Problem. Very bad experience. This was my 2nd time dealing with this Dealer and will be the last one. If you ever buy a vehicle from them Don’t trust their Toyota certification… have your mechanic inspect their work…because their work of certifying vehicle is a “joke”. Better off Save your nerves and time and deal with different Toyota dealer. We are very disapproved from Hamer Toyota of Mission Hills CA... NOT GOOD!
