I bought a car from Five Star in July, they went out of their way provided great customer service and landed that sale, Afterward the nightmare began, they did not have the car i wanted so they needed a $500 deposit to get it shipped to the dealership, fine. They told me it would be refunded the following Monday, which was reasonable. Showed up Monday to pick up the car, finalize my paperwork and get my deposit back. I called ahead to see if the car was ready, they weren't sure and said they would call if it didn't show up, no one got in touch with me to let me know so I drove 30 miles with another person to pick it up for no reason. The deposit was also not ready. They assured me they would get an associate to drive the car to my house as soon as it was ready, filled up with a full tank of gas. Well things happen, I understand I am a reasonable person, it all sounded good, and it was just what I wanted to hear. One week later the car came in, when I asked about a delivery they told me I had to come and pick it up, I really needed a car ASAP, so I found a friend and we drove to Florence to pick up the car. I had to wait 2 hours to fill out paperwork, they were really busy, I understand, but I was excited to finally drive my new car home. I got in and the tank was almost empty. I had to go back inside and get a gas voucher to make them honor what they told me. I then drove to their specific gas station down the road to fill up the tank. The next week I stopped by Five Star to grab my deposit, it still wasn't ready, and apparently it wouldn't be till the next day. They also told me my paperwork was incorrect. They sold me the exact make and model car, but with a different VIN number than the actual car I received. I came by the next day after work, they still did not have the deposit ready, but I did wait another hour, did not have time to wait longer to do the paperwork. I told them I would stop by at the end of the week after work to grab the deposit, stopped by Friday, they did not have it, but I waited around 2 hours and was able to finalize the actual paperwork. The associates gave me a call that weekend wanting me to come in, they messed up the paperwork AGAIN, and apparently made the exact same mistake again! I just wanted to be done at this point, but I want to do the right thing so I come in the next time I am able during the week, fill out all the paperwork again this process EACH TIME takes close to 1-1/2 2 hours, They apologize give me a gas voucher, they STILL do not have my $500 deposit ready, they assure me this time it will be ready tomorrow. I make another trip over and finally grab my deposit. I get a call TWO days later! They #$%^'ed the paperwork up again, I have to make another trip to Florence, refill out the paperwork again this time they are really prepared I only have to wait ONE hour, they give me another gas voucher and tell me I can pick anything out of glass case up front "for my troubles" [just to note there are a bunch of cheap coffee cups and license plate covers] I told them they could buy me dinner at least I could take my wife out, and this runaround wouldn't be a whole waste. They said they would send me a $100 gift card in the mail for dinner, fine. [I have not received anything, and I am positive that they only said that to get me out the door] I will say this, I love my new car, but if I didn't - I would have returned it on principle for the terrible, shoddy service I received there, and I will never ever buy from five star, Chevy, GM of its affiliates ever again. read more
