    BUYER BEWARE I…read morepurchased a very nice Volvo XC60 here in January. Everything initially seemed to be in order. I discussed the vehicle with the salesman, Jim, who reassured me that all of their cars are inspected by their shop and that this vehicle had no issues. I drove the car approximately 90 miles home. Shortly after arriving, the engine began making a loud, concerning noise coming from the belt system, and the heat also stopped working. The following day, I took the vehicle directly to a Volvo dealership near me. After inspection, they identified approximately $5,000 in necessary repairs, including a complete rebuild of the accessory belt system and a clogged heater core. The Volvo dealer also informed me that it appeared something had been added to the coolant system. Additionally, I noticed belt conditioner sprayed throughout the belt system, which appears to have been used in an attempt to temporarily mask the problem. I have contacted Jim, as well as someone named Scott (who I believe is part of management), multiple times and provided full documentation of the issues along with proof of the minimal miles driven since purchase. It has now been over a week, and I have not received any acknowledgment or response. Yes, the vehicle was sold "as-is." However, the condition presented at the time of sale was significantly different from the issues that were later discovered, including what appears to be attempts to conceal known problems. After researching online, I have found other customers reporting similar experiences. I strongly advise exercising caution when considering purchasing a used vehicle from this dealership unless you are prepared to potentially face significant repair costs shortly after purchase.

However, what they…read morefailed to mention is the holes and cracks in the frame from a surmountable amount of rust, a missing AC belt, multiple fluid leaks (including a steadily dripping fuel tank), and rear suspension damage. Did not respond well when questioned about the validity of the new PA inspection due to the immense amount of rust to the frame, also claiming that it was not his responsibility as the dealer to make sure the car is in good condition before advertising and selling it as "excellent condition". If you choose to buy from him, definitely insist on bringing it to your OWN mechanic. Good luck...

    I bought a 2005 Prius from 4 Below Auto Sales in Willow Groove, PA. After I purchased the vehicle I…read moretook it to a Toyota Dealer and had them do a thorough evaluation. As a result I would not recommend purchasing from 4 Below Auto Sales to anyone for the following reasons: 1) The vehicle was not suppose to have been in an accident. It turned out that it had been struck in the front and among several other things the radiator was cracked and leaking. 2) The rear brakes were frozen open and the front brakes while working needed to be replaced along with the rotors. It appears that the vehicle had been sitting for a long time on moist unpaved ground. The sway bars front and back are deeply corroded and must be replaced. 3) The heater was not working and as result in in a cold rain driving to the Toyota Dealer the windows kept fogging up and I had to pull off the road several times to wipe them off. 4) The muffler is being replaced because it is all taped together, corroded and carbon monoxide could leak into the cab 5) The electric door looks will not take a command from either of the keys provided so the car cannot be locked at this time. I purchased this car on an As Is Basis so I foolishly must except all responsibility yet I believe I should have been told the vehicle had been in an accident and from a safety stand point I should have been warned about the condition of the brakes. I am sending you this note to you because I believe people should be alerted to the practices of 4 Below Auto Sales in Willow Groove, Pa. I paid $5000.00 for this automobile and currently I am investing a little over $2000.00 to make it safe and runnable. The vehicle should not have sold for more than $3700.00 and the buyer warned of its safety issues. At $3700 the cost for a 2005 Prius with repairs would still be close to $6000.00. An individual who did not have it expertly evaluated would have been at great risk and if they could not afford to make the critical repairs would be stuck with an unsafe vehicle.

    The recent reviews from the last year are negative and I won't discourage anyone from taking it…read moreinto consideration. But having purchased from that dealer in 2026 I hope a recent review can help steer them in the right direction. The good; Customer service was good. There's been much worse, I can speak on the salesman personally, Jalen, who went out of his way to sell me a vehicle.Teaching me briefly on manual driving , being able to deliver my car and give me a reasonable discount. The bad; The car I brought didn't seem to have too much care and they just wanted it off the lot. Power steering fluid was low, and the inside smelled very used. Not even an air freshener. I still took the car because I work on them and don't mind some extra work but for the average car buyer I can see this being a turn off. The ugly; While I mentioned they provided a discount, they added in a $300 charge for some safety/security feature that you can't opt out of. They claim is reduces your insurance but in my experience it has only saved me mere cents. Being it's also a manual I don't expect this car to be stolen anytime soon. Overall, I'd recommend this dealer if you're buying cash and know what exactly you're looking for. Based off my experience I'd recommend more care to the vehicle being sold to me, it's a bad look for them if the vehicle I'm test driving can't even steer properly and smells like someone's rear end.

What an f-ing insult to my intelligence. Wrong answer miss. The dealership was under different ownership when i had the brakes done. Dismissing her bullshit answer, i purchased new pads and rotors, had them installed for $240 total, less than half the amount the dealer charged for the pads alone. That service manager has to go or i will. I've bought 2 cars from this location in the past 7 years. Under Sussman, it was a a great dealership. Now it's just a bunch of slicksters.

NOT ALL DEALERSHIPS OF THE SAME BRAND ARE THE SAME. I'm familiar with Thompson, having leased another luxury brand from them for close to a decade. Same ownership, different management. Big difference. Huge. Since the service department opens at 7:30am, and I had a scheduled appointment for first thing on Monday morning, when nearly six (6) hours passed, and I never received a call with an update, I decided to call. This was my 1st time at Thompson Lexus Willow Grove's Service Department, and the 1st service on my Certified Pre-Owned Lexus. I was assigned a service member, and I couldn't have had a worse hand dealt to me. Patrick Applegate. Apathetic. Lexus makes phenomenal and reliable vehicles, and the brand, as well as its corporate team in the US are exceptional. So, when I asked Pat the cost to fix the molding around and under the window, and if it's something Lexus would cover, his response was "unlikely since the mechanic said it looks like someone tried breaking into your car." I asked if he could speak with his manager, and Lexus, and he stated he'd call back, which he did. He stated his dealership wouldn't cover the cost. He asked if I was going to move forward with the repair. I stated that,"I'm going to contact the GM where I bought the vehicle, in case Lexus won't cover it", he stated that he'd order the parts, regardless. The estimate was just under $664, with $497.94 being the total for two parts, and $165.95 for labor. I contacted the GM of the Lexus dealership in Englewood, NJ. His response, "if Lexus won't cover it in good will, we'll pay for the repair". Once again, different dealership, different leadership, different business acumen, and different mindset. Tuesday morning, I never received a call from anyone at Thompson Lexus. By 12:31pm EST, I called, and was informed Pat wasn't in. I was connected to Matthew Buglak. Matt is personable, empathetic, and immediately took ownership of assisting me. The manager of the service and parts department, Mark Ambolino, was on vacation. No one had called Lexus corporate. The mechanic was out. There was no system in place so anyone would've followed through for Pat. Matt had me picked up, and brought to the dealership, to get a loaner vehicle. Mr. Buglak is relatable, professional, organized, empathetic, and cordial. All the paperwork was ready for my signature, and the vehicle was waiting and clean. At 8:10am EST on Wednesday, Pat called and told me his manager called Lexus, and the repair wouldn't be covered. Every question or statement I made was followed by one word from Pat, "ok". His lack of energy, care, concern, and disinterest were extremely obvious. Also, how did he already have a response from Lexus' corporate offices by the time he called me? I got off the phone and contacted Matt, to request that he be my service advisor. Thereafter, I called Lexus, who agreed to pay for the repair. I conveyed that Thompson had quoted me 70% over Lexus MSRP for the B-Pillar Trim, and 43% over MSRP for the Door Run. When the loaner was picked up by a driver, and my car was returned, I immediately noticed that the car was NEVER washed nor vacuumed. That's Thompson Lexus of Willow Grove. No indication on the invoice of what was replaced or filled with the maintenance, and the space when the next maintenance is due was left blank. They are a poorly managed dealership with bad communication, and many lazy employees. They didn't put in effort to deliver for me with Lexus corporate; that was my relentlessness. Again, Matt Buglak is a phenomenal guy. If you must get service done at Thompson Lexus of Willow Grove, because it is your only option, request Matt- the person who should be elevated to manage the service and parts departments, as well as hire, train, retrain, or let go of complacent, neglectful, and/or indifferent employees who don't bode well for the superior Lexus brand.

I have a 2025 Lexus with only 1700 miles, owned it coming up on one year, so the car doesn't get driven much at all. I've needed to jump the start the car MULTIPLE times before I took the time and went the dealer for a battery replacement. There were stored DTC's for battery if they scanned the car as well. The drive to this dealer is about 35 mins and I used the car for some errands as well that day prior, so it did alot of driving before arriving day of (battery got a nice charge from all the driving). They tested the battery and after sitting there for right under 2 hours I get told they are NOT replacing the battery and I need to wait for it to die again, waste my time and tow it there. The best part is yet to come I get charged $42 for a battery test which is literally free at any other brand dealers, auto zones, pep boys wherever pretty much. 3rd new Lexus and very unhappy customer.

We went for a simple oil change. They left lights switched on over night which killed the battery. When we went to retrieve it in the morning the lights were still on. It was dead and needed to be jumped. Dee assured us if this keeps happening that they would replace for us. It inconvenienced us on multiple occasions having a dead battery. So we called Dee, explained the situation and she said no problem we will fix it. We arrive the next day only to find they wanted to charge us $170 plus! Outrageous. "Ooo ok really sorry we'll take off the labor, the total is $140." Unreal. Perry offered zero help and tried to brush us off. He supposedly called the owner and ultimately the took $30 off. Also to mention our battery still had a positive charge, something they did not test before replacing, only after. I highly recommend to use any other technicians than these as this how they treat their LOYAL customers.

    I had a really disappointing experience at Glanzmann Subaru and would strongly caution others…read morebefore going there for inspection or service. They failed my PA inspection on a 2023 Subaru Forester with only 27,000 miles -- not for anything remotely serious, but for extremely minor issues that felt more like an excuse to upsell than legitimate safety concerns. First, they failed the car over a tiny nick on a windshield wiper blade that was still fully functional, and then quoted $55 to replace it. They also claimed my tires needed to be replaced immediately and quoted $445 for mounting and balancing two tires -- all based on a very small cosmetic mark on the tread. The tires still have measurable tread (around 4/32") and no structural damage or exposed cords. I've attached photos of the exact tire they failed so others can judge for themselves -- there is a small mark, but nothing that reasonably justifies failing a state inspection. When I questioned it, they pointed to "state requirements," which is misleading at best. PA inspection rules are clear about what actually constitutes a failure, and this didn't meet that threshold. The overall impression I got was that they are actively looking for the smallest possible issue to fail your inspection so they can sell you overpriced repairs on the spot. I understand safety matters -- but this felt like a business model, not a safety standard. I will not be returning, and I'd recommend others consider a more honest, independent shop for inspections. Response to Owner: I'm going to respond directly because your reply misrepresents both the situation and Pennsylvania inspection standards. At no point did I make "threats." I stated that I would share my experience publicly -- which is exactly what I am doing now. That's not a threat, that's transparency. More importantly, your claim that these were "clear failures under PA inspection guidelines" is simply not accurate. Under PA inspection regulations (67 Pa. Code §175), a tire fails if: Tread depth is below 2/32", Tread wear indicators are flush with the tread in two adjacent grooves, or Ply/cord is exposed or there is structural damage. None of those conditions were present. The tire in question has approximately 4/32" of tread remaining, with no exposed cords or structural damage. The small cosmetic mark your team identified as "secondary rubber" is not listed anywhere in PA inspection code as a failure condition. Similarly, a fully functional wiper blade with a minor nick does not constitute a clear failure unless it cannot properly clear the windshield. Mine was operational. Saying these were "clear failures" under state law is misleading. At best, your team applied an overly conservative internal standard -- which is your choice -- but that is very different from a legal requirement. What is more concerning is that you, as the owner, are publicly standing by these decisions. That suggests this is not an isolated judgment call by a technician, but a broader, systemic approach at Glanzmann Subaru to interpret inspection standards in a way that benefits the service department. When minor or borderline items are failed and immediately paired with high-cost replacements ($55 for wipers, $445 for two tires), it creates the appearance of an upsell-driven inspection process rather than an objective one. I fully understand that licensed inspectors must follow the law. My issue is that the law is being incorrectly cited to justify decisions that go beyond what is actually required. I stand by my original review, and I've provided photos so others can judge for themselves.

    I have yet to have a good experience with the service center. I avoided bringing my vehicle in for…read moreservice but thought maybe this year I'll take advantage of the free state inspection. I was informed there has been a recall on the back seat sensor it should only take around two hours. I am still waiting 5 hours later. I also felt the service person was indicating I was at fault because I hadn't addressed the recall! They always printout a list of things that need to be addressed always over a thousand dollars. I gave it 2 stars because they have snacks
