MINI of Knoxville

Crooked, shifty people I WILL NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE BUYING A CAR FROM THIS xxxxx CROOKED DEALERSHIP!!! I really wish I could give negative stars..... We purchased a 2004 v I WILL NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE BUYING A CAR FROM THIS xxxxx CROOKED DEALERSHIP!!! I really wish I could give negative stars..... We purchased a 2004 vehicle (not a mini cooper) with 80+k miles on it..... During the buying process....our "sales" guy Travis had awful communication. He was given $500 to hold the vehicle for sale as we live out of town. a few days later, my boyfriend realized that the $500 had not come out of his account yet and had heard nothing from Travis. We weren't sure if would were going to pick up the vehicle Monday or if it was sold from under us. I called the online sales person who originally listed the car (the only person with some sense) He was very nice and was able to tell us that the car indeed was listed as sold under the computer system in our name. And that Travis does not answer customer calls on his day off. After the purchase was final, a few weeks later, our vehicle starter started acting funny (would click a few times, then finally start). The breaks began to lock up and were red hot. And then the vehicle over heated after idling for a short amount of time in the parking lot. After a few tries at calling the dealership to get it back in under warranty, he brought it into them. The shop has had the vehicle for a week now. My boyfriend has called them everyday....no answer back to what is going on with it or if they had even started working on it. Finally Thursday...the good for nothing receptionist told him "it should be done this afternoon for you to pick it up"....he went....not done. Travis tells him, it'll be done tomorrow (Friday). Boyfriend calls four times Friday. Receptionist dropped his call once. Transferred him to service department finally, service department tells him he needs to talk to the used car service department, transfers, call is dropped. Calls back, asks receptionist to speak to 'used car service department', she tries to transfer him 3 times....again, call is dropped. Travis texts him that afternoon (because apparently professionals text their customers now) finally and says your car should be ready later this afternoon. Boyfriend gets to the dealership, asks where the used car service department is....SAME receptionist on the phone earlier says "we don't have a used car department....” Finally he gets to where he is somewhat supposed to be and of course, “Well it should be ready Monday” He gets there Monday….. “It’ll be ready tomorrow”. He asks for a print out of the “front to back top to bottom” inspection the dealership did prior to selling him the vehicle… on it was 4 things, one being that they topped off the anti-freeze, which brings me to the next problem we had a week later. He had to get the waterpump replaced. MINI wouldn’t take responsibility for it and said the only reason why they spent $3000 on the rear end situation was because it was a safety issue. Now another week later, we are told that we need a whole new drive shaft. This is only 5 weeks into us having the jeep, and with it being in their shop for a week. So my boyfriend calls the dealership and of course, no one is available to talk to him. He left a message with the manager Friday morning (they are open on Saturdays as well) and it is now Monday and haven’t heard a word from ANYONE at the dealership. AGAIN…I WILL NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE BUYING A CAR FROM THIS xxxxx CROOKED DEALERSHIP!!! If this problem does not get resolved, the next step will be going to the BBB as well as getting a lawyer and acting on Tennessee’s Lemon Law. More

He helped us find exactly what we wanted and insured it was in our price range. In the past, we have dealt with car salesmen who have been pushy, but Tim never made us feel pressured at all. This was, by far, the best experience we could have hoped for! Tim surpassed all our expectations and we will certainly be visiting him again when it is time for an upgrade! More

Enjoyable Car Buying Experience We were in a bind, stressed and had to get a car for the household. At Mini of Knoxville we had a great experience with Tim Marsee. He was honest an We were in a bind, stressed and had to get a car for the household. At Mini of Knoxville we had a great experience with Tim Marsee. He was honest and straight forward. We never felt like we were being pressured or manipulated. The financing department was equally helpful and respectful. Definitely not the stereotypical car salesman experience. Would look forward to going back there for our next vehicle. More
