DON'T TRUST THESE GUYS. No matter what, don't come here to buy a car. Do me a favor and run far FAR away. I was promised replacement parts for a car I bought which are still not replaced (it's been 2.5 months since I bought the car). If you want to know the entire story of my experience here, read below.
Wow. I just got home after being *yelled at* by the owner of the dealership to "Get the Fu#% out of here!" multiple times. I couldn't believe it, and am still a bit shocked. He's a grown ass man, the OWNER of a car dealership, telling a customer/patron of his to Get the Fu#% out of here. Stay very far away and definitely don't shop here... If you're curious, read on.
When I bought the Lexus CT 200H from them 2 months ago, some of rear interior panels needed to be replaced due to the previous owner's dog chewing it up. When I bought the car, Sam had assured me that they already ordered the replacement parts and it was on the way. They would be replaced at the time I would come in to pick up my license plates so I don't have to make multiple trips.
Well, a month goes by since buying the car and I hadn't gotten any follow up from Sam. I had called their Sales line to ask for updates and would be told I'll get a call back only to be stood up (this happened at least 5 times). When I finally got a hold of Sam, he gave me his personal mobile number and told me he would follow up once he knew the status. He texted me saying "Not in at the moment but I'm all over it and it's getting expedited". This told me the parts hadn't been ordered yet, and I had waited a month for nothing... cool. That's ok, no worries. Since they were interior pieces, I wasn't in a rush.
Another month goes by, no follow up. By this point, I'm getting frustrated. There was no ownership around getting this resolved, from Sam or anyone else at AOB. The service I had gotten from Sam when I bought the car seemed only surface deep, just enough for me to buy the car. I made one final call to their Sales department and got Jeremiah who told me he would check on status and get back to me (he did not).
To make sure that the parts were being ordered, I drove into the dealership myself to check on status. Jeremiah greeted me and walked with me over to the Service area to ask a couple of the workers where the parts were. They were confused and had no idea about any of it. The Lexus vehicle, whether any parts had been ordered, nothing. Jeremiah seemed empathetic of my situation and offered to take on the task for me, which I appreciated. He brought the owner, Han, who wanted to know for himself what parts were being requested. I showed him which parts Sam and I agreed on (about 3 or 4 small panels and one main rear panel), and he became defensive. "We can't replace all these parts. That would cost a fortune!" He explained that Lexus parts aren't cheap and that the whole rear panel can't be replaced. I explained that it wasn't the entire rear panel, they were individual parts/pieces. This was something Sam and I had already agreed on, laid out on the Due Bill as "Replacement of rear panel pieces". We went back and forth, where I explained that Sam had made these agreements with me at the time of sale, and him saying "we can sit here all day saying 'he said she said'".
I'm not sure at what point things escalated. All I remember was him yelling at the top of his lungs to "Get the Fu#% out of here" multiple times, while he removed his mask (during a pandemic). I felt unsafe, so I got in my car and left.
The entire dealership is a mess, and I'm getting tired of writing. Just take my word for it, there are some risky dealerships out there but any of them would be better than this one. Bunch of scammers. read more
