For a supposed certified used Jeep dealership, the product that was sent to me was subpar. The moment I started my car and turned on the air-conditioning and let out a very raspy sounding noise. With product that was sent to me was subpar. The moment I started my car and turned on the air-conditioning and let out a very raspy sounding noise. With a quick Google search, it was clear that there was a little to no Freon in the air-conditioning unit. But of course when I questioned them, they said nope it definitely left our dealership working properly. So somehow over two days in 900 miles it lost all its Freon. The brakes caliper were corroded and were not looked at before sending it, they replaced two out of the four tires and the two ones that were on there were down to 4/32. If you look at the recommendations for certified jeeps, that means those also should’ve been replaced. For a thorough check they certainly didn’t check hardly anything at all. The engineer filter was not the correct model. The cabin air filter was in but upside down in both were filthy when I checked them and replace them as soon as I got the car. So clearly they were not trying at all. And for the ultimate slap in the face, even the dealership or the third-party title company they use drop the ball and did not get me my license entitled soon enough in the state that I live in so I had to go in on my own time and get an extension of one week. Which the sales person claimed to me would be at least two weeks from the sales date. With at least a dozen phone calls and the runaround I still have not gotten any resolution to this as no one from the dealership will contact me back after phone calls, and or emails. Maybe they are better in person but as far as remote, this is the worst experience I’ve ever had. I would strongly suggest not buying from this dealer if you’re doing it remotely and not test driving it. If you don’t believe me, read the reviews of people who have purchased a vehicle remotely and you’ll see that clearly I missed that as I would’ve never bought from the dealership after reading those reviews as well as this one, I’m writing currently.

As an out of state customer, you rely a lot of the word and conversations with the dealership on what you’re getting, the process, etc. We agreed on a deal that involved the vehicle I purchased to be dri and conversations with the dealership on what you’re getting, the process, etc. We agreed on a deal that involved the vehicle I purchased to be driven/delivered to me, roughly 4 hours from the dealership. The dealership had told me it would be delivered with a full tank of gas, first issue I had which it was delivered with a half tank of gas. Not a huge deal. The other main issues were the vehicle only coming with 1 key, and no paperwork/owners manual. These would not of been a huge deal, but because the dealership never told me about either detail, it became a bigger issue. The 2nd key is important for us as a family of 4, and the paperwork/owners manual was important as it would have included the door security code. I requested assistance with these issues multiple times and the salesman, Caselle, did assist in ways to get at least the door code but was unsuccessful. At the end of the day, the management directly told me there was nothing they could do, and to basically go away. I never did get any sort of communication from a manager of any kind. It feels like basically they see me as an out of state customer, most likely they won’t get my business again, so why go through any sort of effort to fix the situation? Overall the experience was extremely subpar, and I feel extremely shorted. More

Kory Johnson sold my daughter a 2015 Ford Focus and she was so happy! Less than 1500 miles and 2 1/2 months later it needs over $6000 in repairs. It makes you wonder what is actually inspected on a use was so happy! Less than 1500 miles and 2 1/2 months later it needs over $6000 in repairs. It makes you wonder what is actually inspected on a used car before it is resold. I spoke to Kory's manager (Brian Plauman) who said "his hands were tied". What happened to "Do the right thing". At a minimum they could have discounted the labor to repair. So disappointed! More
