This car lot does not even deserve 1 star! Owner and salespeople are rude and do not know how to deal with customers. They listed a car for $20,691 in one ad and $19,995 in another, but in order to receive the advertised price, you must agree to pay $1,600 of completely bogus fees. They tried to charge me $700 delivery charge, when the car I was interested was actually the owner's vehicle. The other $900 fee is to detail the car and prepare it for sale... which anyone selling a car has to do to prepare it for sale condition anyway. Even when I agree to pay their bogus fees, they then said the only way one can receive the advertised price is to finance through them at a minimum of 12% APR, for which one does not qualify unless they have a 760 credit score!!! lol With any score under 760, according to the owner, the rate can be 15% or higher!!! After checking my credit, they told me I have 660 credit score, which I know for a fact is above 700... when asked to fax me a copy of my credit report that I authorized them to check, the owner replied to not tell him how to run his business and that the only way I can get a copy is to drive to their dealership (which is over 1 hour from me)... apparently they have not graduated to the fax/electronic age! Anyone seriously thinking of buying a car from them, think twice, three times, and four times.... they will rip you off on every step with shady math, hidden fees, and dishonest advertising. In addition, owner and salesperson were rude and act like they are doing you a favor by even talking to you. I would avoid this dealership by a 3 block radius! read more

After I made a $1,000 downpayment, they approved me for a 2005 dodge magnum, then AutoWorld called me a week later to tell me I wasn't approved, and said that I could have a KIA. If I am not approved for 1 car why can they put me in another car? I thought the approval is based on your credit and not on the type of car you want. I returned the car on 8/7/2009, expecting a refund on that same day, but AutoWorld told me to come on 8/14/2009 to pick up an issued refund check and when I went on the 14th, they told me it has been mailed out already. Today is September 14th, 2009 and I haven't received anything in the mail yet. Do not do business with DANIELLE, she's a salesgirl and she LIES about EVERYTHING! read more

I would have given negative stars but it doest allow me to do that. Honestly I dont know who the fck the people are that gave a good review of this dump. It was probably their own people writing $hit so it shows the most recent reviews as good. This place totally effed us over and got us the $hittiest loan known to man. This all happened about 2 years ago when my girlfriend went to purchase a car and the scumbag sales fck tricked her into a horrible loan. The reason people go to this place, I assume is because they have bad credit, which was my girlfriends situation.. So they start off by giving you a loan from a third party lender and theyll say come back in 6 months and well refinance for a lower rate.. Sounds good. Only in our situation when we went to refinance they put the entire loan in my name.. And added a bunch of BS finance charges putting us completely upside down on our loan. Now the car is worth like 12k and our loan is around 22k.. What I really want to do is ghost drive the car thru the front window of the place and hope it blows up. So if youre thinking of buying a car go to a real dealership. This is how pissed I am and its been 2 years. Oh and not to mention, getting people on the phone afterward over at their Kia financing place wherever the f that is is impossible and when you get them they are rude as fck. Id use real curse words but I want to make sure this review stays up. Autoworld, if youre reading this you can make me happy by writing me a check for 10k to get my out of this situation. I hope this review deters every single person from doing business there. Hatred x a million, K Ps Im going to keep making bad reviews so that there is never a good review on this page. Ill make 1000 email addresses if I have to. read more

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS! These people are total con artists and scammers. They list their cars online and in advertisements at a low price with no fine print or any disclaimer. When you arrive their scam begins. They get you to test drive a car and unless you found their falsely advertised prices, you will not even be told a price at all. They avoid discussing price because they are scammers. If you like a car, they take your info and check your credit. Then they come back with some ridiculous monthly payment amount, something like $350 etc.. with no other information. You will not be told a price, IF you ask, they will tell you how many months the loan will last, but that's about it. The interest rate is never mentioned. This essentially is your screening process to see if you are gullible or stupid enough to be screwed. I went in to look at a car listed at $9,995. the figure they came back with was $349 a month for 72 months this comes out to $25,128. The salesman wouldn't even let me use his calculator I had to get my phone out and do the math. If you do the math, a $9,995 car needs to have an interest rate of about 33% to equal out to $25k over 72 months and that's including tax. The salesman tried to run some b.s. past me about how he gets no commission and he wants me to get the best deal possible. Right, a car salesman that doesn't work on commission. These people are absolute scumbags who prey on people who are ignorant and or in a bind. They should not be allowed to operate, and they clearly have no conscience. Do yourself a favor, tell all your friends and family to avoid this place and avoid it yourself. read more

Buyer beware!! Car purchase August 2009. I wanted to help my mom buy a car, so I offered to co sign with her. After 2 days and a wait of 1 1/2 on the second day... I am not the cosigner I am the signer, my moms name is not on the contract. Not only that they put a credit card in my name to (raise the price) cover the down payment. I had a screaming 9 month old with me and my mom was desperate for a car. I said I did not want a warranty, and despite my anger/confusion I asked what all the amounts on the contract were, I was told taxes and fees. I signed. The credit card was to have 6 months free apr, but it did not. I had to call numerous times to fix that. Six months after the car was purchased I get a car warranty brochure, one that I had apparently bought. I immediately cancel. And to this day I am still waiting for the refund, almost 2 years later. Really 0 stars read more

the car I drove an hour to see after receiving an email stating that it was indeed there and available - was in fact not there! I was told I must be at the wrong place, they never had a car like that, their internet person wasn't there and that they would give me a good deal on a different ( much more expensive )car, I proved that I was in fact at the right place and would gladly show them their email, at which time the "manager" began verbally attacking my father and then asked my father to leave. Horrible service and an apparent bait and switch - I am contacting the BBB in regards to this company. read more

Absolutely Awful, I went to auto world obviously to get a car. i put a deposit down and when i went a different route for my car i was assured that my deposit would be returned quickly and without and hitch. Completely bullshit. A month later and a dozen or so phone calls and i still don't have that deposit back. If you want a car without any headaches and hassles go somewhere else, maybe you'll get it, just not there. read more

They are not even worth my time writing- Just want to warn other consumers..........Bottom line we are taking them to court. We cancelled the sale within 2 days because they would not mechanically fix what was wrong, (prior to pciking up the vehicle)which they agreed on. They would not give us back the 1500.00 down payment. DO NOT DEAL WITH THESE PEOPLE! read more

BUYER BEWARE OF AUTO WORLD! Got the run around on their Repo Sale. They advertized any trade in would start at $4000 no matter what and $95 down. They tried to give me $1850 for my car and wanted $2400 down. Then tried to slip in their higher price when I went to sign the papers. Bought the car and was given a old beat up remoteless key that works at best 50% of the time to start and open the doors from day one. Called them and was told that they would give me a new key. That was over a month ago and about 20 messages left to call me back with no return call and a secretary who told me she would not give my message to them. I spent $20,000 on a Jeep that I am afraid to drive with my children for fear of being locked out, won"t start or the car shutting off while driving. They get your money and they don"t care at all. GO ANYWHERE ELSE BUT AUTO WORLD! You will Thank Me Later. read more

Stay Away..... Sleeze factor is at an all time high. Was looking for a car for my wife and newborn. They had over $3,000 in hidden fees compared to the ad price posted. We have to let these type of businesses know that we will not tolerate this. Once again, Stay away... read more

First of all, I only gave them one star because I couldn't give them no stars. I visited the lot looking for a car for my step-daughter. The first warning sign that these guys were not above board was that the majority of the cars did not have prices on them. The salesman introduced himself, and began showing us cars. He said he couldn't tell us the prices because they were all bank-owned. I told him this was a first car, and we couldn't go above $6000.00. We found a Dodge Neon that we wanted to get a price on. The salesman took us inside, took down our information, and came back with a price of $11,999.00. I reminded him of our range, and figuring that there's no way we're going to get down to my price, got up to leave. The salesman kept insisting I stay and deal, and came done another 500 dollars, then another 500 more. Needless to say, I left since it was nowhere near my price. When I got home I checked the Kelly Blue Book retail sales value of the car, which turned out to be around $7200.00 in excellent condition. Out of curiosity, I checked Auto World's website, where I found the car advertised for $6,494.00. I called the manager to let him know about the discrepancy, and that he might want to talk to his salesperson; however, he attempted to justify these sales tactics. He said they can ask for any price they want to on a used car. He mentioned that the price I saw was an Internet price, and that there were extra fees on top of that price. When I asked if it was $5000.00 worth of fees, he said no... more like $1500.00. I asked where the extra money came from in the price I was quoted, and he responded that he wasn't sure what I was trying to get at. He then made it clear to me that he stood behind their sales tactics. read more

STAY AWAY!! I was charged fees that were never explained to me and the worst part is I bought an alarm system through them and they assured me that their sister dealership , Generation Kia would take care of everything in 2 hours...well it took 3 1/2 days to get my car back from Generation Kia and after all that...THEY NEVER INSTALLED THE ALARM.. Saverio, the GM at Autoworld told me it wasn't his problem and then called me a liar and told me that my car was dropped off yesterday..not 3 days ago...Can you believe this guy? What kind of manager calls his customers liars?? In addition, the sales people smoke cigarettes all day even in the cars they are selling you. I heard two of the sales people make a joke about a burn hole they put in one of the seats. Save yourself the hassle and stay away from these rude, crooked, scam-artists. read more

Fraudulent claims have been made from this dealer. We purchased a car there and were told we were getting some thing that was not delivered. They put extra charges on our bill that were never authorized. told us the price of a service and then charged us double claiming we mis consruded the information. Many times they told us we were getting some thing they did not deliver on including including a extremly over inflated blue book value, spare keys not a repo key, cost of automatic start, preperations that were to be done to the vehicale before pick up including a detail and engine inspection and replacment speakers that we were told they had, then they ordered, and now there going to order.This dealer ship also did not / refused to give a itemized reciept rolling all expenses in to one total and hidng extra charges.This dealership is working under a veil of many corporation names including auto world, auto world giant, auto world usa ect ect. they are hard to find in the bbb web site because of all these name changes and only if the consumer does a reverse phone number look up can you find them. These crooks need to be exposed for who they really are.They are ripping off the comunity I dont know why they are still in business read more

Enquired about a 2000 Ford explorer. Web site said 13,200 miles. Emailed Auto world enquiring. Amanda from auto world patchogue called and left message. I called back and was told it was the original mileage that it was kept in garage by one owner. Price was $4445. I then went on thier website and checked the Car Fax report. Car fax report said it was last inspected in August of 2011 and last reported mileage was 134,810 and had 3 owners one of which was a corporation. Called Amanda back and she checked into it. Told me doesn't matter because the Explorer is no longer here, had been wholesaled out. I checked back on the website approx. 7 hours later only to find the Explorer was still on it and the price was now down to $1706. Liars, liars and liars. I would never reccommend nor ever go to this dealership. STAY AWAY. STAY AWAY. Auto World in Patchogue are coniving liars. I HOPE AUTO WORLD READS THIS BECAUSE IF YOU ARE LISTEN TO ME CAREFULLY....................... Consumers Affairs, the Better Business Bureau and the AUto dealers Association have been notified about your scamming practices. BUYER BEWARE OF THIS DEALER. Auto World Truely Should NOT be in business. read more

We found a car we liked. We were told within 20 minutes that we were approved for financing. They washed the car in front of us and prepared it as if we were taking it home that day. Added the car to our insurance, had forms faxed over, put down our deposit, and then we were told "we're trying to get you a better loan deal, it'll be a few minutes." Every hour we waited we were told it would be 5 more minutes. The finance guy spoke to us twice in that time stating he was on the phone with the bank the entire time working deals (meanwhile we saw him in and out of the waiting room chit-chatting with the other salesmen). After 5 hours of waiting in a waiting room that has music louder than any club I've ever been to, we told them to call us when they knew something. Three days later we were called back in and told "we can't finance you that car, but here's a list of 4 others that we can." Confused, but already feeling a bit defeated, we looked at the 4 cars they offered and picked one. 20 minutes later we're told we can't get financed for that one either, and are asked to pick another. I had reached my limit and told them to forget the whole thing. Then I found out it could be 1-2 weeks before getting my deposit back. The entire time they refused to tell us the price of any of these cars. They talk in circles, riddles, and lies. Stay away - save your time and money. read more

lets just start off saying i am only 20 years old and a girl and i caught these mother f*ckers trying to screw me. I went in there searching for a car i wasnt to sure what i was looking for but i was definitly excited to purchase my first new car. I had a salesman help me right away his name was theigo!!!!! Automatically when i told them i wasnt to sure i wanted to settle right away and was going to search around they told me they didnt want any part of working with me and they asked me if i wanted to close the deal. They started getting a attidude with me when i asked to see the sticker price for a 2010 kia forte. I knew somthing was sketchy so I didnt want to work with them any more. The following day they called me up and told me they can work a reallly good deal with me and i wouldnt need a cosigner. I went down there within a hour of listening to them throwing bullshit word and numbers at me they threw me the keys to a car i didnt even want and told me it was mine. They let me take home this brand new car without signing anything just to think about it. I was driving around in this brand new car for three days racking up the miles. When i sat down that night and was looking threw the paper work i reliezed they were going to charge me 10,000 more for nothing. They were going to have me pay close to 30,000 for a car that was worth 17,000. (ITS A KIA FORTE!!!) When i looked closer at the paper work they were also charging me for a kia forte coup instead of the four door forte. They were charging me 2,000 for a warranty that already comes free with a brand new car. when i found out about all these bullshit charges i gave them back the car and RAN!!! stay away from the black kia forte they will try to sell it new when some girl was driving around in it for 3 days.....pleaseee pleaseeee people watch your money and stay away from this dealer they are rip offs and think they are trying to do you a favor!!!!!!! read more

i would rate them lower if i could...... place is the worst excuse for a car dealership ever!! went in to look around, lots of the same stuff, wouldn't give me prices, started asking me how i'd be paying blah blah blah, 30 minutes later.....no price on 3 cars i'm interested in. i'm not interested in taking anything for a test drive before i know EXACTLY what i was getting myself into. long story short, they tried to sell me a 2001 ford explorer with 78k miles on it for appx $24,000, i almost died laughing. i sat there with a printout of 3 similar trucks from different dealers all half the price, only for them to tell me the others were "lying" and that they would not give it to me for that price. they also claimed some of their low prices were their "just to get customers in the door" and "no one could sell a car for that cheap and still be in business".... well let's try not advertising that price moron. Sad thing is, my family knew the owner, they knew i was coming in, and they STILL treated me like an idiot. i would only recommend this awful place to someone with a wrecking ball to tear it down. read more
