Awful, worst experience I bought a car from Defillipo 6 months ago. Problems started at the dealership. I researched and was preapproved for a 2006 Ford Fusion, but when I ar I bought a car from Defillipo 6 months ago. Problems started at the dealership. I researched and was preapproved for a 2006 Ford Fusion, but when I arrived at the dealership the car was not available (it never existed, bait and switch). I ended up buying an older car with 130,000 miles because it was all I was approved for even though I was "preapproved" for a much newer, nicer and reliable car. I was told I would be given a full tank of gas and a new battery because my car wouldn't start. Upon driving away I realized my tank was on empty and upon inspection of my battery I realized it was over five years old. Within a month I started having real problems. I've paid to have my alternator, starter, and battery replaced because these items apparently are not covered under my extended warranty which includes all engine and transmission issues - even though I pay $100 dollars extra per month for the warranty. Also, a Kelley Blue Book search of my car shows that they charged me 600% of my car's worth. Shame on me for not researching but 600%!?!?!? The car starts maybe 1 in 10 times if I'm lucky even though I've replaced three components dealing with starting the car out of pocket. The car clearly has electrical issues that they were aware of, hence the promise of a new battery. I once called for service and they told me they could send me a tow truck, but since the issue was electrical it could not be covered under warranty and I would have to pay for the tow and the service. I explained that the salesman "ETHAN" promised me a full tank of gas and a new battery and they told me "we can not honor promises made by salesman and if you had read your contract you would know that".... my first experience financing a car has been absolutely awful. I feel they took advantage of me knowing that this was my first time financing a car. I also think they are very dishonest and sneaky. If you are a person in a bad financial situation, as I was when I purchased the car, DO NOT CONSIDER DEFILLIPO BROS. They will price gouge you and take advantage of your poor situation. They will promise you free service and make you feel alright about spending way too much on a vehicle, but when it comes time to make good on the promise they are total jerks. Awful, awful loud rude selfish Delco idiots working here. They were yelling to each other while I was trying to sign my paperwork. I once called to ask if I could make a payment two days late and was told "we can shut off and come take your car, if you can't pay you shouldn't have signed a contract". I paid on time, but luckily I have spoken to a lawyer who found a clause in my contract saying my car specifically only has a GPS tracker and not an immobilizer so if they immobilize my car I can get out of my contract without owing money or being liable for my terms of contract. Not everyone will be so lucky with this terrible company. STAY AWAY! (PS) I once made a payment in person to a woman who was not there when I purchased. She warned me that she would never buy a vehicle from Defillipo and that I should pay my car off ASAP to avoid their ridiculous financing rates. This was the only good exoerience I had at this company and everyone there should learn about customer service from that particular nice lady. More

Heather and my new (to me) car buying experience So I bought my car last week after my old car crapped out on me. I knew going in (because of my lousy credit rating) that I was going to overpay a bi So I bought my car last week after my old car crapped out on me. I knew going in (because of my lousy credit rating) that I was going to overpay a bit and that the interest rate would be high, but for people with bad credit scores (whatever the reason) and verifiable income this should be an option. They showed me a few cars before I settled on the one I wanted (like any used car dealership some cars are better than others) and weren't pushy or overbearing about it. Heather was great, super professional and understanding of my situation. I haven't had to use the warranty and the car doesn't need an oil change yet, but it should be noted that you get free oil changes (every 3 months/3000 miles) for the life of the loan (assuming you stay current). Like buying any used car, do your research, take it for a test drive and if you aren't sure it is the car for you, don't sign any paperwork. More
STAY AWAY This is a scam. They target people with bad credit purposely. Read your contract!!! You sign away all your rights in that arbitration agreement. Read This is a scam.

Great place to get a car with bad credit! I bought my car from Defillipo Brothers a little over a year ago. I paid more then I should have for it but that's what you get when you trash your cr I bought my car from Defillipo Brothers a little over a year ago. I paid more then I should have for it but that's what you get when you trash your credit. My other car broke down and I needed a car right then. Defillipo had me in the car I wanted in less then an hour. I haven't had a single issue with the car I have other then the normal stuff. I would definitely recommend getting a vehicle from there if you have less then perfect credit. It also helps you get your credit back into good standings More
