    Passenger side that had previously been damaged by a close encounter with a pole at a gas station.
    Jen B.

    Christmas Eve 2024, my (at the time) 20 year old daughter got into a crash that bashed in the driver's side of her 2010 Prius. She was freaked out, but fine. We called the police, made a report, and managed to limp the car back to her apartment. She replaced a tire that was damaged during the crash, but it continued to run while waited for the police report so she could try to file a claim with the other driver's insurance. Things did not go as we had assumed they would, and by the time she got the report and was able to contact the insurance company they'd already decided it was not their fault, and closed the claim. That car was a work horse, and, despite the frame being bent, the driver's door bashed in so hard it wouldn't open, and a missing driver's side window, she continued to drive it until about a week and a half ago when she discovered that it was leaking oil so bad that even after she put 10 quarts in it, the dipstick was still dry. Uggggh. Now what? Ever feel like Facebook is stalking you, and knows what you need before you do? No? Huh. Me neither. JK. Sometimes I think they live inside my head, but that's a whole other discussion we won't get into here. Queue the Facebook ads for a company that buys cars that aren't in the best condition. Kind of like those "We Buy Ugly Houses" people, but for cars. Ironically, the ads I saw weren't for Car Brain, but for one of their competitors. I did a little research via Google and decided to let that company give me a quote on the car. I answered a few questions, and got a quote back that was about what I'd expected. Then, when I got the email from the company confirming my quote, I realized I'd made the classic Google mistake of clicking on an ad instead the website I had originally been looking for. The quote wasn't from the company whose ads I'd seen on Facebook, it was actually from Car Brain! To be clear, up until this point I'd never heard of Car Brain before. Though, tbh, I'd never heard of the other company either before seeing their (ad nauseam) Facebook ads. Annoyed with myself I went back to the good 'ol internet, found the company I'd been looking for in the first place, made sure I actually went to their website this time, answered most of the same questions I'd answered for Car Brain, and got a quote. Considering the limited value of the car and thus the relatively small amount of the quote from Car Brain, this quote was considerably less. Over $100 less than the offer from Car Brain. Thus began the process of actually selling the car. I had been missing some details when I completed the initial questionnaire, so I went back and filled those in. I corresponded with the rep from Car Brain that worked with me through the process pretty frequently, since I was kinda needy. We mostly communicated via text, which was nice because it was convenient, but his phone # was listed on all of his communications, and I absolutely felt as though I could have called him at any time. He was very responsive, and his directions were easy to follow. The process was delayed a couple of days, but that was on me because when I went to get the title out of our safe on Saturday morning, Murphy's Law struck, the batteries that controlled the lock died, and my husband and I were locked out of it for most of the day. I didn't send the pictures of the title until late Saturday afternoon, and since generally people don't work on weekends (totally fair), it was Monday before they looked at and were able to verify the info I'd provided. Anyhoo, once we were back on track on Monday things moved quickly. They set us up with a tow company who were also incredibly pleasant and easy to deal with, and I met their driver early Tuesday afternoon. He gave a me a check, and I bid adieu to the 2010 Toyota Prius that served first my dad, then my sister, and then my daughter over the course of 15 years. It turned out those additional details I filled in helped get us a better offer, because in the end we wound up selling it for $1,075, which, given it's age and condition, I felt was a pretty fair deal. Could I have gotten more through a private sale? Maybe. Did I want to hassle with that? Absolutely not. Overall I would say Car Brain was fast, responsive, easy to deal with, and fair. I hope I never again find myself in the position of having to try and sell a car that is not in good shape (and that's being generous), but if I do, I know who I'll reach out to first.

Luis went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled properly. He found me the exact vehicle I wanted even though it wasn't available at their location and secured an even better one from another dealership. He ensured the vehicle was delivered in a timely manner and stayed involved throughout the entire process. I was a tough cookie to deal with after dealing with some non transparent dealerships, including AutoNation Ford Bradenton. I had my guard up and gave no room for mistakes, lack of transparency, or additional add ons. I truly appreciated how Luis understood that and didn't waste my time. He also acted as a third eye, carefully reviewing the documents and making sure everything was complete and accurate. That level of attention to detail gave me peace of mind. If you're looking for a dealership that values professionalism. I highly recommend the AutoNation Miami team, especially Luis. Please avoid the Bradenton location. Thank you, to this team finally making this happen. Tips: - Avoid add ons - Make sure to get everything in writing or email.ex: vehicle delivery date. - review all contract carefully. - Check all documentation spellin, address.

    Horrific Experience!…read more I had the unfortunate luck of calling in and being greeted by Raykol Rubi. This individual is perhaps the most disorganized and overly verbose person I have ever had the displeasure of speaking with. Over the course of three weeks of phone conversations and texts, I found him to be crude, unprepared, and repetitive. Despite clearly telling him the specific car I was looking for, along with my preferred terms, he continuously tried to push me into buying or leasing an Infiniti. Each new conversation would start with him trying to redirect me to a vehicle I had no interest in. It became incredibly frustrating. Raykol's dealership contacts were dubious at best. No one seemed to actually know him, and the "deals" he offered were incomplete. He refused to put anything in writing or send me paperwork, claiming that he didn't trust anyone and didn't want people to steal his deals. At one point, he had me travel from Broward all the way to North Miami for an appointment to meet a car salesman--only to find out the car didn't even exist, and the terms were nothing like what we had discussed. Then, he sent me to North Broward to meet with the dealership GM, but the address he provided was wrong. The GM was actually just three blocks away. When I arrived, I was told to wait in the lobby. I waited for 45 minutes with no one coming to speak with me. After about an hour, I decided to leave. When I told Raykol about my experience, he said, "HE is trying to be understanding." How could he possibly be "understanding" when he sent me to three different dealerships that didn't have the vehicle or terms I requested? Then, he tells me maybe we're not a good fit, which I agreed with, and asked him to transfer me to Alan or someone else. He replied, "HAHA, good luck with that, we are all a family here." That remark was childish and unprofessional. It's because of this unprofessionalism that I'm giving a one-star review, though I honestly think zero stars would be more fitting. Luckily, I was able to find the car I wanted on my own with the original terms I had requested.

From the moment we first chatted, 48 hours later I had the car I wanted delivered to my home and my old car hauled away. Best part of this concierge service is that I also got a great deal, way better than what the current advertised "deals" with none of the dealer negotiating back and forth BS. I told Arthur in person but I say it again. This experience has made me realize to not ever step in a dealership to buy a car, will definitely reach out to Arthur and MotorBreeze again!
