I have tried to contact Israel at TX Auto GRP multiple times to get an update about my 2021 Jeep…read moreGladiator that I purchased from TX Auto GRP. A Jeep that had catastrophic engine failure just a few months after I purchased it. It has been sitting in their service department since July and it is still not fixed, and they still have not purchased the vehicle back from me--even though that is what I was told would happen. Yet, my monthly payment is due once again and I cannot get any answers from TX Auto GRP. Therefore, on Friday, 10/24/2026, I will call the bank and tell them everything and I will make sure to tell them that I even bought TX Auto GRPs warranty (which is apparently useless). Then I will walk into my attorney's office and have a conversation with them. SHAME ON YOU, TX AUTO GRP!
My previous review can be found below:
"I will never buy another vehicle from TX Auto GRP. I bought a $40K Jeep Gladiator from them, that only had 36K miles on it, and within two months the vehicle had catastrophic engine failure and left me stranded in the middle of nowhere. It had a broken crankshaft. TX Auto GRP sold me a lemon!!! To make matters even worse, I bought TX Auto GRP's warranty when I purchased the Jeep. Not only did the Jeep break down, but they could not honor the warranty that they sold to me. The Jeep literally sat in their services department for almost three months, and it was never repaired. It is still sitting there to this day. Not only could they not fix the vehicle, but they did not seek outside help (Jeep dealer) to rectify the issue so that I could get back on the road. I even offered to have it towed to my mechanic so that he could fix it, but I was told "It does not work that way." Beyond that, trying to get updates about the repair was almost impossible. Nobody would answer the phone or return my text unless I called the sales manager. After a while the sales manager just started letting my calls go to voicemail. I even tried to contact the owner, but nobody would put me in contact with him. It was the worst experience of my life and that is not an overstatement. Then the loaner car they gave me also had engine issues. The check engine light came on one day after I picked up the loaner. It started running rough, so it was not drivable either. After I told them what happened, nobody even offered to get me into another loaner car. I was now stuck with another TX Auto GRP mechanical issue. Finally, the Jeep Gladiator is not something that happened to me once. Nope! I have purchased four vehicles from TX Auto GRP over the past six years. The first vehicle I bought from them had major frame damage and the front end of the truck was welded up to the point that you could not even fix any of the damaged parts. They hid the frame damage by using bondo and paint. The next truck I bought had fuel system issues. I had the entire fuel system changed out twice just to clear the check engine light. The third truck was the only vehicle that I did not have issues with because I bought it from someone who came into the dealership to trade it in while I was there shopping for trucks. Meaning, it was not an auction vehicle that the dealer got super cheap so that he could then repair and sell off for a jacked up price. Three out of four vehicles that I have purchased from TX Auto GRP have had catastrophic failure. I highly recommend you stay away from this dealer unless you want to end up like me: Screwed out of your hard-earned money ... After all of that, I tried to get them to buy the Jeep Gladiator back and put me in something else, but they refused, so now I have to spend money on a lawyer, since I was basically forced to go buy a new vehicle, because they could not fix the lemon they sold to me. I will also be letting the bank know exactly what TX Auto GRP did, and how TX Auto GRP conducts business."
