DeFelice Auto of Pt. Pleasant

Amazingly Bad Amazingly bad. Not into doing reviews but after my interaction with Defelice I feel obligated to share my negative experience with other potential cus Amazingly bad. Not into doing reviews but after my interaction with Defelice I feel obligated to share my negative experience with other potential customers. Stopped in the dealership to look at a 2003 Yukon Denali that I received information about from Gar Gurus. Was met by a salesperson that I will leave nameless. I test drove the vehicle with the salesperson present. At the conclusion of the test drive we returned to the showroom to further discuss the vehicle. It was late about 745pm. The dealer closes at 8pm and i respect people's schedules. The salesperson asked "what could i do to earn your business?", My response was that i wanted my wife to see the vehicle before I proceeded. Due to the late hour I suggested my wife stop by and see the truck the next day. As I was walking to my car the salesman offered to give me dealer plates for the Yukon, drive it home to let my wife see the vehicle, and return it the next day. I took Defelice on their offer. AS I LEFT THE DEALERSHIP THE SALESMAN STATED $8500. I ASKED "DO I HAVE 24 HOURS?" AND THE SALESMAN RESPONDED "YES". I returned the truck later the same evening, I called the number on the business card to ensure the dealership knew their vehicle had been returned. Next day I receive no follow up phone call from the dealer. I wanted to do the deal so I called the dealership. I asked to speak with my salesman and I was connected. Told the sales guy i wanted the truck. Sales guy places me on hold and someone named Jeff picked up and told me the price of the truck was now $10995. I explained I was quoted a price of $8500 and he said the salesman made a mistake. Jeff the sales manager and Mark Cohen, who described himself as an owner, justified the increase in the quoted price as a mistake that was made by a new guy that was formerly a butcher and lacked sales experience, Not my problem. Mark became so aggravated during our conversation that he yelled to the SURROUNDING associates and I quote "why did you put me in the middle of this", I apologize Mark Cohen for inconveniencing you as an owner. Poor customer service, fraudulent, unethical, rude, bait and switch, lacking transparency, AND poor communication skills all describe Defelice. Ever watched the movie Used Cars? Defelice has brought it to real life. As for the vehicle the Vin# 1GKEK63UX3J185095 is there for you to see for yourself. Check out the peeling paint on the roof and the accident listed on the car fax that Defelice failed to disclose any details about when asked. I see the other reviews and know this worked out for the best. Someone named Jeff is supposed to call me but I doubt I'll hear from that dude. More

Great Follow Up I recently bought a car from DeFelice and wrote them a review, but I had to write another one because Mark called me to see how much I liked the car. I recently bought a car from DeFelice and wrote them a review, but I had to write another one because Mark called me to see how much I liked the car. He knew how happy I was to get it and for him to call me a few weeks later to see how things were going was great. I've never heard from any of my friends of a used car dealer calling later to see how things were going. Mark is a genuine guy and I would recommend him and DeFelice to anyone. More

Used car buyer BEWARE Used car buyers BEWARE! Although the website says they have been relying on honesty and integrity since 1946 that was not the case when I recently pur Used car buyers BEWARE! Although the website says they have been relying on honesty and integrity since 1946 that was not the case when I recently purchased a used Hyundai Santa Fe from them in Dec 2015. This vehicle had been on their lot for at least a few months (based on the CarFax) and they apparently did not care to give it a "vigorous inspection" as they claim to do. Only 2 months after having it, I had my mechanic do a quick check on the engine, something I should have done from the beginning but based on their said values and one of them knowing my father for over a decade I inadvertently placed my trust in them. He found the timing belt to have a few tears in it and said this could ruin the entire engine if it snaps (based on the mileage which is only 70K it should have been changed 10K miles ago). I cordially contacted the dealership and asked for some help with the repairs and to seek to right the wrong here since it was such a short time after purchasing. I even offered to trade it in for another similar priced vehicle if they didn't want to have the integrity to fix it. They kept giving me the runaround and rather than waiting for my engine to be damaged I paid the huge amount needed to fix it. The mechanic found other problems in there too and now the exhaust sounds like a motorcycle and it doesn't want to go over 50mph!! Sure smells like a lemon here and with them knowing that I have 4 kids to drive around it angers me to have my kids driving in an unsafe vehicle. All I ask is they right the wrong be sure that the vehicle is sold in tip top condition. Isn't that what you would want in purchasing a vehicle? More

DeFelice Auto Center - Point Pleasant I purchased a vehicle from DeFelice Auto last night. What a pleasure it was to deal with all of the gentleman at that facility. From the two sales guy I purchased a vehicle from DeFelice Auto last night. What a pleasure it was to deal with all of the gentleman at that facility. From the two sales guys, Mark and Tom, to Jeff the owner and Lou's professionalism, I wouldn't purchase another vehicle without first going to DeFelice Auto Center. Very trustworthy group of folks and down to earth. They have many types of vehicles on the their lot, from trucks, to sedans, SUVs, and sports cars. #1 dealership in my eyes and would certainly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality used vehicle. DeFelice also gives the car shopper the opportunity to purchase the type of vehicle that they want from an auto auction. Great experience!!! More
