Extremely Disappointing and Unprofessional Experience - I Would Not Recommend Cartime Inc. or Its Sister Companies (Like Amigos Auto Mall)
I had one of the worst car buying experiences at Cartime Inc., and I feel compelled to warn others about this dealership and its sister companies, like Amigos Auto Mall. Their lack of ethics, incompetence, and failure to do the right thing when no one is looking make them unworthy of your time and business.
My ordeal began with poor communication and scheduling. I arrived at 5 pm after being told my car would be ready by 2 pm. The car was not washed, had no gas, and wasn't ready. I had taken time off work for this, only to be left waiting. I was promised a "detailed" car, but when I showed up on Sunday, no one knew about my appointment. They were short-staffed, and I was rescheduled to Monday.
When I went to the sister dealership, Los Amigos, no one knew why I was there. Instead of a detail, they did a basic car wash. This was not the service I was promised. On top of that, I had already submitted all necessary documentation, including pay stubs, but Amir (the salesperson) told me to resubmit everything again. Despite submitting my paperwork to both their main email and Manager Roger's email, the dealership still couldn't get it together, leaving me to work with the finance company directly.
Then came the payoff for my vehicle trade-in. Roger and Josue told me the check was mailed and would arrive by 2/25/25. When it didn't arrive, I asked for tracking, and Josue told me he was "looking for it." Eventually, I was told to contact Angelica, who informed me that no check had been mailed at all because she had not received any request or information to submit the payoff. This is when the entire process fell apart completely due to the lack of communication between the dealership and its staff.
The worst part came when Mark, the General Manager, assured me he would overnight the check. Despite his promises, the check missed the FedEx cutoff, leading to a charge-off on my account. This was absolutely devastating for me, as I am recovering from open-heart surgery and was laid off from my tech job. This financial issue was the last thing I needed during such a challenging time. The stress and hardship this caused me is beyond over whelming and debilitating for me, and it felt like Cartime Inc. and its team couldn't care less about the real-life consequences of their negligence.
Cartime Inc. and its sister companies are in urgent need of process improvement. They need to enact proper system procedures, hire a quality control manager, and build a diligent team that puts the company's overall goals and mission first to ensure a seamless and positive experience for customers. Without these improvements, it's clear that the level of service will continue to fall short.
Throughout this whole process, I was treated like a second class citizen and felt completely disregarded. Cartime Inc. and its sister companies, like Amigos Auto Mall, do not care about their customers and show no professionalism or accountability. They are unethical and disorganized, and I would not recommend doing business with them.
They show a total lack of professionalism, accountability, and integrity. Their operations are disorganized, chaotic, and a nightmare to deal with. Save yourself from the nightmare of disorganized processes, untrustworthiness, and endless frustration. read more
