# Summary The dealership receives praise from most customers for competitive pricing, reliable vehicles, and helpful sales staff who prioritize fair deals. However, one customer reported serious concerns about repeated mechanical failures after purchase, including engine and cooling system issues that persisted despite multiple repair attempts, along with frustration about how the dealership handled the situation.
Excellent service and great deals. I really felt like the guy selling me the car wanted me to get the best deal I could. Their cars are clean and mine has been very reliable. Would definitely buy from them again.
Thank you for your response. However, your statement contains factual inaccuracies and omits critical information that must be clarified for transparency. 1. Vehicle exchange statement (incorrect) It is not accurate to state that you offered me the option to exchange the vehicle. I was the one who requested an exchange, not you. At no point was a vehicle exchange proactively presented to me as a solution. This misrepresentation further undermines my confidence in your statements. 2. Loss of trust Due to repeated breakdowns, unresolved warning lights, and improper repairs, I no longer have trust in this dealership’s mechanical work or representations. This lack of trust is the primary reason I declined any replacement vehicle from your inventory. 3. Ongoing mechanical failures As of today, the vehicle is still with mechanics and continues to suffer from new failures after each repair attempt, including but not limited to: • PCV system failure • Oil cooler failure • Engine warning light still active • Intake manifold runner malfunction requiring replacement • Air conditioning system no longer functioning This establishes a pattern of unresolved and cascading mechanical issues, not isolated wear-and-tear items. 4. Limited vehicle use The vehicle was not heavily driven after purchase. The failures did not occur after extended use or abuse, but instead appeared shortly after purchase and after repair attempts. Any suggestion that these issues arose due to long-term driving is inaccurate. 5. Improper repair outcome The vehicle experienced breakdowns immediately after being returned to me, including a major coolant failure requiring emergency shutdown and towing. Returning a vehicle in this condition is unacceptable regardless of age or warranty limitations. 6. Documentation and evidence All events described above are fully documented, including diagnostic reports, invoices, photos, videos, dates, and communications. These records clearly show the sequence of failures and the condition of the vehicle after each repair. I am sharing this information to ensure accuracy for future customers. The issue is not vehicle age, but repeated failure to properly diagnose, repair, and return the vehicle in safe operating condition.
