Would give zero stars if that was an option…read more
The used car side of this dealership is as shady as the day is long. A month ago, we visited to inspect a Corolla that was advertised on their website as in excellent condition. However, upon closer inspection, we discovered that the photos on the website had been manipulated to hide the fact that the roof paint was mostly missing and the bumper was severely damaged.
Last weekend, we returned to look at another Corolla, made a deal, and paid for the car. Throughout the transaction, our salesperson, Kemy, kept contradicting himself about certain details and making commitments about the car's repairs. He repeatedly promised to provide us with a copy of the "we owe" items that would be fixed before the vehicle was delivered on Monday, but he never did.
There were some marks on the roof paint that Kemy claimed he had shown to the service team, who assured him that "it was just gunk that would be buffed out." I also pointed out some tire damage and he stated that the "tires would be replaced." I'm using quotes here because I was taking notes as he was explaining these details to us.
On Monday, when the car was scheduled for delivery after service and detailing, I attempted to get an ETA several times, but Kemy didn't call me back until after 6pm. He informed me that a part for the recall was not in stock and had to be ordered. He said that the part would be delivered on Wednesday and the car would be detailed and delivered then. Since I wasn't available to take delivery on Wednesday, I requested delivery on Thursday and was assured that it would happen.
Kemy called me at 9:30am on Thursday, claiming he was taking the car out of service and to detailing, and that it would be ready for delivery within a couple of hours. This was unusual because he had previously informed me that the car would be out of service on Wednesday and ready for delivery. I texted him about the replacement tires, but I didn't receive an immediate response. Last night at 6:30pm, he called me again, repeating his earlier statement that he was taking the car from service to detailing. He also mentioned that two bad tires had been replaced. He assured me that my car would be delivered last night.
Meanwhile, I received a voicemail from an unknown number. It was clearly a butt dial of two men, one of whom I recognized as Kemy. They were discussing finding a replacement vehicle. I'm still unsure if they were talking about my car and haven't received an explanation for why this other salesperson named Chris had my number in his phone and accidentally called me.
Half an hour later, Kemy called again from his cell phone, but it wasn't him. It was his sales director, Kevin, calling on Kemy's phone. Kevin asked me for an explanation of the situation and I provided him with a detailed account of everything that had transpired up to that point. Kevin apologized for Kemy's lack of communication and explained that the car was not ready for delivery. He gave me his cell phone number and informed me that the car would be taken to detailing at 9am today when they opened and delivered to me immediately afterward. He promised to call me at 10am today with an update. No call at 10, so I called him at 10:30. He said that the car was still in the service department getting some filters replaced and not in detailing, as he had promised me last night. Kevin assured me that the car would be delivered by the end of business today.
Kevin and I discussed the "we owe" items after we bought the car last Saturday. I had requested copies of the document from Kemy multiple times throughout the week, but we weren't provided with a copy at the dealership. I kept a list of the items on my notes app as we discussed them with Kemy, and Kevin asked for a screenshot, which I provided.
Kevin informed me that we weren't promised hubcaps and that only one tire had been replaced. He also claimed that the paint anomalies on the roof were scratches through the clearcoat and that they couldn't do anything about them. These were all blatant lies from Kemy.
At that point, I demanded a complete refund and will be taking my business elsewhere. Earlier today, I left a voicemail for the general manager, Steve Riddick, but I haven't heard back from him.
