Sold my son a Hyundai approx. 2 years ago or less. Said it had a brand new motor. He paid…read more$22,000. and the car was in for repairs more than we could count. My son had to delay an oil change for 3 weeks due to lack of money as the repairs were constant and most was not covered by the warranty...Go figure. Brought the vehicle in for repair as it was overheating. Changed 4 spark plugs for $316.40. Needed muffler replacement, stabilizer links and oil change which my son declined due to way too many repair bills. We were told the vehicle was returned from the repair shop by Certified only to find it was still at the garage where they get their work done. Arriving there they told us the vehicle had already been sent back to Certified. Half way back to Certified my Son asked me to pull over and called to say...where is my vehicle. Oh sorry it is at the repair garage. Unbelievable. So unprofessional. 4 days later car brought back to certified due to overheating. Said they flushed engine and changed oil and filter. charged another 262.02. Took to new mechanic and the refrigerant which is the flushing, was brown and filthy. Was told the motor was shot due to lack of maintenance and before they even found out the problem they tried to sell my son another vehicle while he still owed $10,000 which he would be responsible to pay off. I was so disgusted with them. And...because his car was so unreliable he lost his job and on the second trip to the Certified, I had a head on collision. I would never buy from them or recommend them. Talk about a scam. He told us that due to the crappy engine in a Hyundai you would ruin the motor if you were even a week past your oil change. So why did they sell it if they already new. Don't be fooled by the nice smile and the lies about the garbage they sell. Excuse the fact that this review is a little bit scattered but it has been extremely frustrating. Our new mechanic charged $2100.00 which included a set of used tires and said the vehicle was in excellent running condition and he would not have to get rid of it.

*BEWARE * My husband bought a truck from Troy's Toys in…read moreNovember 2021. The financing was through Carma Cars. In July 2023, my husband wanted to buy out the truck. Axis refused to allow my husband to purchase the vehicle. They ghosted him. Jennifer Galvez and Santiago Godinho ensured that my husband's money was not being added to the loan. My husband's bank noted that the payments were not being added to the loan. When my husband inquired about records, he was met with conflict and dismissal. Moving forward, my husband was advised to stop payment until the loan was settled. Axis refused a buy-out. My husband is a veteran and he served for the UN. On November 11th, the truck was towed away by Axis. My husband has now retained a lawyer and has finally paid out the loan. However, the lot where the truck is being held refuses to release the truck. While all of this is happening, we have been trying to prepare our house for sale. Our lives have been disrupted and turned upside-down. My husband has lost a tremendous amount of weight. He is sleep deprived and has lost his appetite. My stress levels have been elevated to anxiety attacks and hypertension stage 1. I'm not sure how much more we can withstand. Whatever you do refuse any loans with Trend, Carma or Car Loans Canada, they all fall under Axis Auto Finance. You will be dragged into a web of pain and suffering.

This was my second car purchase from here and I think it may be my last. Unfortunately, it seems…read morethat the 30 day bumper to bumper warranty is useless. I will start by saying the some of the required repairs were completed, however the wipers didn't work properly on the car and after trying to get them to fix it 4 times, I took the car elsewhere for the fifth attempt and it is now fixed. They went so far to get out of repairing the wipers as to tell me that I had to clean the new wipers and give them a week to "break-in". Absurd. They tried 3 sets of wipers and bending the wiper arm twice with no success. In addition, they never took the car for a test drive, neither before or after they balanced the tires to take away the vibration at highway speeds. I was rushed in and out. The last time I took the car in for repairs (my third visit), one of the promises that I was told would be taken care before I picked the car up on July 12th, was finally done that day, on Aug 19th. The last time I took the car in I called that morning and was told to bring the car in at 2pm. I arrived and had to wait for almost 45 minutes before they worked on the car, as they had to have their lunch first. After another 45 minutes, I was told that the car was ready, the wipers work fine and didn't need to be fixed. I had been told that they would swap another wiper arm off another vehicle on the lot to fix it (they wouldn't even provide a new part), and it wasn't done. I have given up!
