I lost $10,000 with Godspeed Motors. In May I bought my dream car (Jag F-Type) from Godspeed. Not even a week later, the water pump fails, and I have to pay to tow the car back up to In May I bought my dream car (Jag F-Type) from Godspeed. Not even a week later, the water pump fails, and I have to pay to tow the car back up to their service department myself. Over the course of the 4 months I owned the headache-on-wheels, this car had to be brought back to service 4 times. Busted speaker, brake issues, oil leak, and a list of other fun stuff. I mean who doesn’t love making payments on a car you can’t even drive, right? The cherry on top was at one point when I went to pick the car up from service, Godspeed made me sign a contract that they would no longer service the car they sold me, before they would give me the keys back. This all leads to September, when I literally get stranded in the middle of nowhere on the way to Myrtle Beach, because the oil leak Godspeed *fixed* took out my alternator. So instead of a relaxing on vacation, I have to spend 2 days at a Not-so-Quality Inn, and then pay almost $1k just to get the car towed back to NC. So at this point, the Jag isn’t even doing its bare minimum job of getting me from point A to point B. I take it back to Godspeed and ask for a refund, and surprisingly enough they agree, but only offer me $13k less than what I bought it for just a few months prior (I may have driven it 4k miles, if that). So it’s either keep paying thousands to fix a lemon car, or take the loss and just get rid of it. So now you’re probably thinking “This was probably just a one-off incident, plus Jaguars are notorious for being unreliable.” You’d be correct, Jaguars are unreliable. Especially when they’re “serviced” with junkyard spare parts that come from the graveyard behind the dealership. After speaking with both people that have worked there in the past, and past customers, it’s clear how they run their business: 1. Purchase used exotic cars for cheap that have been in accidents, or have severe mechanical issues. If the car is beyond repair, they throw it out back (Pictured) and pull parts off for whatever may come through the service department. (Funny enough they left service records in my glove box that said my car had been in an accident, but this was nowhere on the CarFax or relayed to me before buying it) 2. For the cars that do pass inspection, the techs do the bare minimum to get the car running enough for a test drive, and then put it up for sale. (Also have heard from multiple people there’s no A tech on staff, so most of their work is either YouTube Certified or outsourced to other shops) 3. Godspeed primarily sells to customers out of state, so that when a person buys a car and ships it to California, they don’t have the option to bring it back to the dealership for service (Unless they want to pay thousands to ship it back) The kicker here, is that they don’t have the budget to properly fix their cars, but they do have the budget to remove every bad review they get in Google, Facebook, etc. Multiple past customers told me their review was taken down within a few days. So for anyone who doesn’t do a full deep-dive investigation on the place (me) before purchasing, you end up finding out the hard way. So to wrap up, when I asked for a refund on the car, the manager Ash told he that I was “Over my head” and “didn’t know what I was getting into buying an exotic car.” And he’s right, only it’s more along the lines of I “didn’t know what I was getting into buying an exotic car from Godspeed Motors.” (I’ve also heard apparently they dock their sales associates pay for each bad review the dealership gets, so Eric if management tries to dock your pay for this I’d be happy to cover whatever they take off. Like I said, the sales process was phenomenal, and sales associates shouldn’t get punished for the fault of abysmal management.) More

10/28/23, me and my husband purchased our third vehicle at Godspeed and our salesman Drake was by far the best. Although we purchased in the past, the others were not as friendly, and made us feel like jus at Godspeed and our salesman Drake was by far the best.

The cars may look nice but I will never never buy a car from these people again! Unfortunately within 2 weeks of getting a car from them the engine light came on, did maybe 40 miles in those 2 weeks. Car w from these people again! Unfortunately within 2 weeks of getting a car from them the engine light came on, did maybe 40 miles in those 2 weeks. Car was shaking and not shifting Took it to a proper mechanic $800 later I’m praying that’s all. Explained to the mechanic “just bought it” they asked where— of course said God Speed— saw the mechanics face. He shook his head and said I rather not comment. I asked please do… well this wouldn’t be the first time I fixed a car that was just bought from them. I hate putting negativity out in the world but hope that this will save someone else the costly mistake like I made. More

This is a bad car dealership. DO NOT buy a car from this place. Go to a regular dealership. The salespeople are horrible communicators and worse at process and customer service. T DO NOT buy a car from this place. Go to a regular dealership. The salespeople are horrible communicators and worse at process and customer service. They could care less about you and are borderline unethical. Shifty is a good descriptor about the entire dealership. Run fast from here! I bought what I thought was a beautiful, used car from them. 15 days later, water pump and hose failure drained my entire radiator. It ended up being an $1,800 repair. They are highly suspect. When I went to the local dealer, they asked who I bought it from. When I told them, the dealership rep just said, "I'm sorry you had to go through that experience. I wish you came here first and we could've warned you about not going to them". What does that even mean?! Nothing good is all I know. More
