    ***THIS IS ANOTHER BUYER BEWARE REVIEW***…read more This is not the first review or the first time this dealership has sold cars with poor frames. I don't know if they intentionally hide their reviews or delete them, but please be aware when purchasing a vehicle from these guys. I recently purchased a 2008 Toyota Forerunner from Mebane Auto Group. The car had low mileage, a clean title, a nice interior, and new wheels and tires. I test-drove the vehicle before purchasing and the salesmen provided me with a pre-sale inspection stating that the car and its frame were in GOOD condition. I then proceeded to purchase the vehicle. After a week of driving the car with no issues, I drove three hours home on a weekend to take my boat out, and before towing the boat, I noticed severe rust inside the trailer hitch. I then checked under the spare wheel and noticed more rust. Being that the pre-sale inspection stated the car's frame was in good shape, I assumed that I had nothing to worry about. I decided to take it to get an inspection just to be safe. When inspected, the auto repair shop immediately told me that the vehicle was unsafe to drive. The undercover paint used to cover the rust on the frame was partially scraped off and there were multiple holes in the frame. Just to give Mebane Auto Group the benefit of the doubt. I then proceeded to get two more inspections on the Forerunner, one from an authorized Toyota dealer. Both inspections notified me that the car was unsafe for me to drive. The frame was in that bad of shape. The Toyota dealership actually red-flagged my vehicle meaning they would not lift it to look underneath it because the frame was so rusted out. They made me sign a statement realizing that I was aware of how unsafe the vehicle was before driving the car off the lot. After getting THREE inspections on the vehicle, all saying the car was unsafe for me to drive, I then called Mebane Auto Group to let them know that I was going to be dropping this car off as soon as I was able and that something had to be done. After going back and forth with both the sales guy (won't say his name) and the repair guy (also won't say his name, the owner) about the vehicle and the fact that they had conducted a pre-sale inspection that was not true. I was able to return the vehicle. These guys are just trying to sell cars, they intentionally did not disclose the condition of the Forerunner and knew the condition of it because they (or someone they paid) put undercover paint under the vehicle, hiding the frame's condition. If you are looking for a vehicle, do not look here.

    I've purchased 18+ cars since I began driving. Since moving to the Triangle in 2013, I've been…read moredisappointed by finding the "local" prices on used cars being $1K-$2K higher than the National average. This has resulted in me often looking at dealerships 3-4 hours away in GA and MD to get a great deal on a used car. While preparing to purchase a 2012 Volt in Maryland, I stumbled across Mebane Auto Group who had a 2013 Volt with slightly higher miles for the same price. I was more than happy to drive the 36 miles to Mebane rather than the 316 to Baltimore. The buying process with Chris was painless and transparent. Although their inventory is not large, I highly recommend you check them out for a "CarGurus Great Deal".

    I was considering purchasing a vehicle online across the country from where I live. I had issues of…read moredetermining how to schedule my time to travel to inspect the vehicle and shipping it home if I bought it. Then I thought of hiring an auto broker. I contacted Chris and I shared my situation with him. Professional ... courteous ... reliable ... Just three words to describe Chris and the level of service he provided. From our initial conversation, it was clear that Chris's mission statement to advocate for his clients truly was his mission. He immediately gathered the data he needed from me and he was off. Less than 48 hours later I purchased the car I was considering. Chris saved me time and money. I didn't have to fly to see the vehicle because Chris drove 1.5 hours to look at the car, test drive it, inspect it and give me his opinion. He assisted in helping me secure the financing and even caught an extra charge that did not to be included in the contract. I highly recommend Chris and his company. This experience was truly wonderful.

    Terrell Moore of Top Car Negotiators was the best negotiator we could of asked for negotiating our…read moredaughters deal. My husband & I went with our daughter for support on buying her first car. The dealership would've had her paying way more a month on her car payment, but Terrell got them below the payment she asked for Needless to say, our daughter was very very happy with how Terrell was able to help her buy her first car I would recommend Top Car Negotiators to everyone who wants a new car to choose Terrell !!

    Great customer service, and they repaired my front end in less time than I expected. I only gave…read morefour stars because I felt like the repairs were REALLY expensive.

    BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE…read more It took 6 days just to get a quote. All the while I was charged for storage and "admin fees". The response to "what admin fees?" And "why wouldn't the storage fee kick in when I finally received the quote 6 days later", was ambiguous, at best. I didn't know any of this until they actually produced this untimely and over inflated quote because it states these charges in very small print but only when you actually get the quote. You are not given the information prior??!! Ok but maybe you state when you'll actually get a quote and if they take their sweet time, storage fees rack up? Maybe customers should know this and get their car outta there instantly? I would have. Note the 6 days I waited for this quote, I'm dealing with a head injury, eyes swollen shut... They see nothing wrong in this scenario. They provide 0 information. Wherever they can jack up a fee, they took advantage of it. Then comes the exorbitant quote. finally, with all fees inflated. When I asked what the admin fees would be, I couldn't get a straight answer. In fact, I got NO answer. Clearly being taken advantage of, I sent a tow truck to pick it the car asap. It was during their business hours. The tow truck driver arrived before their advertised closing time of 5 pm. (It's also on their voicemail.) He walked the lot, around the building, and looked in all windows. No one was there to get my car. And even shadier, my car wasn't there??!! More wasted money, time, and another trip for both of us. Brian Cunningham was nothing short of entitled and curt to me, as well as to the driver on his 2nd attempt the following day. I'm a 62 year old single mom with kids in college and he, well he is the nightmare you pray you never meet. He denied the tow truck driver's report. What he didn't know was I was on the phone with him as he walked around the building and the lot. He waited and walked until their closing time, just in case. Neither of us knew what to do. We decided he'd return the next day and certainly, since there was no car or person, there wouldn't be an extra day charge. No. He's just plain unethical. I was angry but even the tow truck driver felt this treatment was completely wrong. He will attest to this in my upcoming attempts to make Cunningham Collision be accountable. Shady doesn't begin to cover the customer service treatment. It's probably the nicest word to describe his treatment to all involved in this situation. You can bet anyone putting 5 stars here are high school buddies! I have no doubt. When I calculated a fair/just price, and proposed it to him, he still charged nearly three times that amount to get my car out of there and to an honest and ethical business. I will be filling a complaint with both the Better Business Bureau and talking to the Attorney General (about ethical business practices) as advised by another collision facility. Dealing with a head injury and an entitled, curt and unethical person, I will never speak to them again. They will simply have to deal with whatever comes at them. I will never recommend them. I will tell anyone who listens that this company has "0" best practices, horrible customer service, 100% entitlement, significantly inflated prices and owners who take significant advantage of anyone they think they can get away with it. I wasn't given the opportunity to choose where my car was towed to. Not allowed to call Triple A... I was taken in an ambulance and couldn't open my eyes for a week. If you find yourself in that area, anytime soon, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE. If you find yourself in need of assistance in that area sometime down the road, they may be closed per the Attorney General and/or BBB fines/sanctions and you should thank "all the powers that be" for not having to deal with the very worst company I've ever dealt with. I offered a fair, researched, and calculated price for their efforts given the excessive time to get the quote... But to no avail. They didn't budge. I guess they don't know what fair, just, ethical business practices are. They are about to find out. I will not be done with this until my credit card is refunded and/or the organizations I contact fine them or better yet, close them down. Oddly, they seem to enjoy kicking people while they're down. Let's see how they like it. IT IS NOT the kind of company anyone should ever have to deal with. They will be sorry they didn't opt for my fair and reasonable offer because my middle name is persistent! No one should or will have to go through what I did and I won't stop until I'm confident of this. Very humbly, dissolutioned, angry and respectfully, Brenda C, MS MS LCMHCS
