Review of LA Auto Sales and Service…read more I feel completely used and taken advantage of by LA Auto Sales and Service. On 11/8/24, I handed over every bit of my hard-earned savings as a down payment, trusting this dealership to sell me a reliable vehicle. Instead, they handed me a nightmare on wheels--a car riddled with issues that couldn't possibly have been caused by me in the short time I've owned it. Within the first three weeks, problems started piling up. One of the keys constantly gets stuck in the ignition and sometimes won't start the car. The car felt like it had transmission issues when letting off the gas and braking, only for it to later be confirmed that the turbo was completely blown. This wasn't a minor inconvenience--this was a catastrophic engine failure that had clearly been brewing long before I ever bought the car. Then the check engine light came on 20 days after I bought the vehicle, pulling a P0171 code. I brought it in on 12/3/24 after Thanksgiving, only to sit there for over three hours, waiting for answers that never came. They admitted they didn't even have the proper tools to diagnose the issue fully and sent me away with yet another appointment a week later. It got worse from there. Additional codes like P0420 and P0496 appeared, and the check engine light has practically been a permanent fixture on the dashboard. When I finally had a trusted repair shop inspect the vehicle, they uncovered the truth: the catalytic converter had failed, the turbo was completely destroyed, and an entire page of error codes was present. This car was a disaster waiting to happen, and LA Auto Sales and Service sold it to me knowing full well it was in terrible condition. Despite this being a vehicle I've owned for less than two months, I've been left to shoulder the financial burden. The dealership begrudgingly covered $600 of the catalytic converter repair, leaving me to pay the remaining $600 out of pocket. Then came the turbo repair--a staggering $1,600 bill that I had to take out a loan to cover because the dealership refused to help. I didn't give them broken money, yet they sold me a broken car. I've never felt so used and abused by a business. LA Auto Sales and Service clearly doesn't care about its customers or their safety. They took my money, gave me a car that was falling apart from the moment I drove it off the lot, and washed their hands of the situation when things went wrong. I wouldn't wish this experience on my worst enemy. Do yourself a favor--stay as far away from this place as you can.

While I haven't purchased a car here I have had my car serviced here. The car sounded loud enough…read moreto wake the dead. I spoke with Chris, the man who runs service, and asked him to take a look and let me known what's needed and more importantly what it will cost. When I got the call from Chris he explained what was needed and the probable cost. He also offered several options and their probable cost as well. I told him what I chose and he said he would get started and call me when it's done. When I got the call I went to get the car. It was waiting. Chris told me the price and it turned out to be less than he thought. He also let me know about some other things that will need to be done in the future. When I got in the car it was clean and just the way I left it. If you need service on your vehicle you would be wise to check here. They work is done as promised and the price was reasonable. It's hard to find a reliable and honest mechanic but there is one here

1 star. We purchased…read more2 vehicles from Hamburg Motors, and both ended up having serious issues requiring engine replacement. That alone should have been enough warning. Do not trust anything Terry says. While one of the vehicles was at West Herr Hyundai getting a new engine installed, their technicians informed us that the vehicle also had a broken coil spring and a broken stabilizer link. Terry was told about this and said to just bring him the receipt for the repairs. When we brought Terry the receipt, he suddenly said he didn't know which account David Chaplin wanted it charged to, so we left the receipt with him. When we returned, Terry's entire attitude changed after David decided he would not cover the repairs. The only reason I am giving 1 star instead of 0 is because David did cover the towing cost for the vehicle. My advice to anyone considering buying from Hamburg Motors: take the vehicle immediately to a trusted garage and have it fully inspected by a mechanic you trust. Do not rely on their word alone. Also, NYS will investigate any shop that willfully passes a vehicle inspection improperly for up to 6 months from the date of purchase. Keep your bill of sale, get a written quote for the faulty parts, make sure you get pictures of the damaged parts, and file a VS-35 form with the NYS DMV if needed. This vehicle should never have passed a New York State inspection.
