**Buyer Beware** Purchased a car paying cash ($11,300) on…read more8/6 - drove the car home and 2 days later found a major oil leak and then a day beyond that, a major transmission issue and check engine light came on. Informed Trevor Troupe, General Manager immediately and he said to take it to a shop to see what the issue is. Shop stated major engine & transmission issues ($5K+). After many follow up attempts, finally heard back from Trevor stating the ownership group will do nothing and that he could buy it back from me for $7K. The car is not drivable and I am certain that this car was sold to me 'as is' knowing it's condition. I absolutely do not trust this dealership based on personal experience and highly doubt their other positive Google reviews are real. I am a single mother who spent all I had on a car I can't drive - I am beyond upset and shocked at the lack of decency and customer care/support by Patriot Auto Mall. Do yourself a favor and learn from my mistake - shop elsewhere!

Not only was the car in horrible shape but the tire didn't even hold air long enough for her to bring it to us and show us the car. All four tires were wearing incorrectly, there was a couple lights on the dash, including an airbag light, the interior was gross, they didn't even bother washing the car, the lift gate wouldn't open because the entire harness and washer fluid hose was cut right off. I just cannot fathom selling a vehicle in such bad shape out of a dealership that is supposed to be reputable. After arguing with the salesman that sold the car, they said they would fix our major concerns just bring it in. So we did. Almost two months went by before we get the vehicle back. They still never detailed the car like discussed. Also the vehicle wasn't even done when they said it would be we had to wait four hours between the time it was supposed to be done and the time we acquired the car. Customer service was awful, very rude, and all they did was make up excuses. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS PLACE !

Car was dirty. Heard a sound in engine that I hadn't heard when I went to test drive and also smelled oil. Called him immediately and tried to cancel whole sale and was told too late check is already cashed and basically told to F**k off, also have a text message of him calling me a F**king A**hole. Promised to send extra parts he had on order never got them, asked tons of times he responded with "sent" I asked for tracking and haven't got a response back in weeks, way overpaid as I had always wanted a vehicle like that and now needs tons of repairs 3 weeks later and was trying to get out of it and got offered half of what I owe. He also told me it was a 1 owner with no accidents. Found out it was 3 owners and did have an accident. Shame on me for not researching more and actually trusting in what he was telling me. Stay far far away and Karma will hit him back soon I'm sure! I will also be reporting to BBB and many other automotive agencies. Once again I blame myself for not researching the dealership and trying to think there was some honest people left in this world and while there may be it sure isn't at Zerka Motors! Stay far away!

My boyfriend, close friend, and I recently came here to look at a vehicle listed online. We're from…read moreover an hour away in Metro Detroit, so we were really hoping to be able to go home with the vehicle. As soon as we arrived, it was clear that something was amiss. The sign on the door reads "temporarily closed due to COVID" but we'd already called to confirm that they were open. The moment we walked in, the owner, Steven, had no mask whatsoever, not even one on his deck to put on. As someone who is high-risk, this already made me nervous. (At no point during the hour that we were there, did he ever put on a mask, despite us being told that he also practices as a doctor?) Looking past that, before getting into the car, we kept being told that the vehicle's most recent owner had a custom aftermarket exhaust placed (without the O2 sensor) and that the owner had been driving the vehicle himself, as a personal vehicle, before being told by his son to list it on his lot. We asked how recently it was listed, and we were told it was very recent. All things considered, my partner was intrigued and we requested a test drive. During the test drive, the vehicle was incredibly loud (which, when combined with a check engine light, led us to believe that there was actually a muffler issue) and began dripping oil within three minutes of being parked. There were issues with all three backseat seatbelts and none of the interior lights in the dashboard were functioning. Otherwise, the car did run and drive nicely, and my boyfriend was really interested, pending additional information about the muffler. We got back to the dealership and tried to get more information about the exhaust situation, which only led to "I mean, you drove it. It drove great. It's just a little loud." Pushing politely, we were then informed that a Carfax was available and that his personal mechanic had viewed the car and had given it a clean bill. I personally requested to see the Carfax and the mechanics' documentation (only actually receiving the Carfax) which proved that everything we had been told was a lie. All of the car's previous owners had only ever had basic servicing. No "after-market exhaust," or muffler servicer, was listed anywhere. And, interestingly, there was no way that the owner could have been driving the car and recently listed it, as it had been listed at two separate dealerships within 12 days of each other months prior, without a change in secretary of state ownership. Even worse, in that 12 days and even the months post-purchase, it hadn't been listed as seeing any sort of mechanic or servicer (even from the same shop, as we'd been told). This means that the owner buys used cars from local dealerships and then sells them on his own lot for profit, without ever even servicing the vehicle. Before we left, we asked again about the muffler and asking if the owner had taken a replacement into account within the price. Our close friend said "yeah, this car is listed rather high for needing a major repair, especially given that exhausts are often around $400." The owner immediately denied this but was willing to "look it up." We encouraged him to do so, knowing that the vehicle was internationally-built. He said that the muffler was only $200. We asked if that included the O2 sensor, which he said no, but it was "only like $30." So, given that the parts alone were almost $250, we asked why it wasn't reasonable to think that, when labor and shop fees are added, that the repair would be upwards of $400. This was met with a change in conversation. My partner then said that he wanted to sleep on it, which the owner respected. However, the moment we were turning to leave, he said "You know, if you do come back, I'll take off $250 for the muffler replacement." Which, is normally a nice gesture, but in this situation, felt like a last-minute tactic. We will not be going back, and with the slew of positive reviews, I wanted this instance to be known for future buyers. We likely dodged a bullet and I hope others can do so as well.
