I had a 2012 custom RS Camaro that was totaled in an accident. I had been driving by this location seeing their 2013 yellow RS Camaro out front. The day before thanksgiving I walked onto the lot negotiated with the staff and within 2 hours, I purchased the car. The back tires had no tread, so the staff sent me to tire city, where they replaced the tires immediately. They treated me very well, shopped around for a good interest rate for me for having good credit, fed me lunch and were very accommodating.
Two days later, Friday at work, I noticed an ATF leak under the car after I moved it. I took it to Jiffy lube in Santa Ana where we changed the oil and the rear differential fluid as well as the maintenance hadn't been done. We checked the power steering fluid, which was empty and was refilled. The staff at JL has done work on my previous cars for ten years. They took a look at the ATF leak and told me it was the transmission cooling line and a minor leak that needed to be fixed. The manager told me the type of problem with the ATF leak was a typical of the car I was driving but at about 80 - 90,000 miles. They topped off the ATF fluid for me. I've driven Chevy Camaro's for 10 years and HAVE never had problems like this as I've always adhered to my maintenance schedules.
I called auto diamond exchange and they asked me to bring the car in Monday so their mechanic could look at the problem. After looking at the front tires and their tread, they needed to be replaced too. The staff at Auto diamond was friendly and assured me they'd resolve my issues. Sunday, the car was slipping out of gear and barely able to drive. I got it to their location and left the keys. There was a puddle of transmission fluid where I had parked the vehicle Saturday night. So, I drop off the car for them to look at Monday morning. I had the car for a total of four days and now I've got no vehicle. I had to Uber to work Sunday night and then borrow a car Monday morning to go to work. I wasn't happy with this after spending the money I had just done.
Monday, Larry, the owner and his staff did the right thing by loaning me a car to use while my purchased car was towed to the Chevy dealer as it wasn't drive-able. Larry told me the good news was the car had a 100,000 powertran warranty through Chevrolet. So my four day old car is now getting a new transmission.
I, then began doing research on diamond auto exchange and found quite a bit of negative information on previous car purchases with some buyers, but I liked that Diamond auto responded to each of these buyers with the opportunity to fix the issues.
In fairness, their response to my situation has been what it should standing behind their vehicle and the customers best interest. They've been courteous and have shown they wish to resolve the issue and get the car I bought fixed as soon as possible. I'm a little concerned that a car with 51,000 miles and two previous owners would need a new transmission, I've given five stars because with the exception of having to Uber and borrow a car for a morning, they've been courteous, professional and accommodating to this point.
On Friday I went to pick up my car. They ( Diamond auto) changed my oil, replaced my brake pads and rotors on the front of the car and the transmission line leak was fixed. As I sat down with Larry, he presented me with the bills to prove the work was done. I've driven the car for three days and it runs smoothly and problem free.
Got my new license plates on 12/8 with tags from the DMV
FIVE STARS thank you Diamond auto exchange read more
