After weeks of looking, finally found the used car I was looking for at a fair price. Salesperson told me it had a 30 warranty during which they would make any needed repairs. I'd recently been burned by an looking for at a fair price. Salesperson told me it had a 30 warranty during which they would make any needed repairs. I'd recently been burned by an online dealer so this was a big deal to me. When presented with the sales contract to sign, I find $1500 added to my price for a paint protective coating the dealer had added. I said I didn't ask for or want this coating. Too bad, it's already been applied, they said. So the advertised price was not the price and not in the budget i had set. When I complained, they quickly reduced the cost of the special coating by $500. Now it's 100% clear that this was nothing more than a greedy dealer reeling me in with a price that was nonexistent knowing they'd make a hefty profit off the mystery coating. Tired of car shopping I gave in until I asked about documentation on the 30 day warranty. I was told the car is sold As Is, no warranty and the salesperson was inexperienced and misinformed. Okay...not my problem. I couldn't accept this as I'd already returned two cars with major hidden defects in the last three weeks. I told them if there's no warranty, I'm not buying it unless my mechanic checks it out first. They would not give a 30 day warranty on a car with 25,000 miles, regardless, and offered no resolution to the stand still. They said I could drive back down Monday, 1 1/2 hours each way, and have my mechanic check it out. Then drive back another 1 1/2 to buy or return the car, and drive back home. Yeah, I'd love to spend another 6 hours driving to and from your dealership for potentially nothing but $100 in gas out of my pocket. No one but the salesperson who was never fully trained, expressed any regret or offered anything as a compromise solution. They simply didn't care. My spouse was so excited after searching for so long and now has to leave the room to keep from exploding on these guys. There was no ugly scene, I was just shocked at the complete absence of customer service. The salesperson felt horrible but it wasn't her fault. It was clear from the start she had little knowledge and little experience selling cars, but she was doing her best. Before I left, she offered to drive the car to me and let my mechanic check it out, waiting for the result. This was appreciated, but the burden of making this right shouldn't have been left to this nice young person. I'm not sure if she had even sold a car before. I will say that she had more courage and honor than any man in that dealership. All I can say is...keep on driving...it ain't worth it! More

New owner Mike was totally condescending and rude to us. You’d think a new owner would try and make a better impression to the Stockton community? I was trying to buy a new Kia, and he treated us like we sh You’d think a new owner would try and make a better impression to the Stockton community? I was trying to buy a new Kia, and he treated us like we should be grateful that he would even sell us a car. I wouldn’t buy a car from this dealership if it was the last car dealer on earth. More
