Where do I begin...
if I can say anything, it is to find another dealership. Seriously, any dealership other than this one.
I've never experienced such a headache, hassle, and just overall bad experience from a dealership and I've purchased new and used cars from all brands.
We dealt with Amy, who to be honest, from the start was not the friendliest and was angry that we did not want to provide a health card (this is illegal to ask for, especially to photocopy it). All she had to say was, "do you have any other ID". We had already given her a drivers license but she insisted on both.
In a nutshell, we test drove a truck and didn't love it so decided to check elsewhere. We waited 30+ minutes for our keys. Amy came back and claimed her manager had found the same truck with everything we wanted at another lot. Great! So we thought. It came with a few extra things that the dealership near us didn't have. (We drove 1.5 hours to Galt). So it made it worth it with extra options.
We were told in order for them to bring it over we had to pay deposit and application. Fair. We loved it and were sold on it and have already driven this far.
3.5 hours of sitting at the dealership and not being offered water once, and we missed an important appointment. The waiting was insane. We had an appointment booked and it still took 3.5 hours of mainly waiting.
When given the financing price the number was way off of what we had when we calculated it. She claimed it was right and her manager did it. I had to actually show her a calculator instead of her trusting us and asking her manager to look it over she insisted we were wrong.
She came back, claiming that the computer automatically added an extended warranty. Really? Seems fishy that it "automatically did this".
We asked for the VIN and delivery date for insurance, couldn't get either.
we left, waited till that night asked again, still nothing.
Next day, Amy calls and says "we can't get that truck, but we have a similar one different colour, less options, same price" wait what? Lol.
We were stuck at this point. I called another dealership hoping they could maybe transfer the credit check we had done, but nope. So now we took multiple credit hits, paid a $2k deposit, and have driven a total of 3 hours and missed an appointment, all to get a truck that wasn't what we asked for.
Ultimately we decided to take the truck as we were out of options, and I didn't want 2 more credit hits. Amy was argumentative and less than understanding. This would be frustrating for anyone. Sold on one truck, given something else and then accompanied by zero empathy.
We dealt with Tariq for financing. He's incredibly condescending, and we expressed this to Amy and apparently this is just how he comes across. Well maybe, consider a different position where people don't feel like you are an arrogant sexist after 5 minutes of talking with you. He talked down to me as if I was stupid, when I knew exactly what he was talking about, I just tried to clarify and his response was, "let me explain so SHE understands". Oh I GOT IT, the first time. But thanks. He also told us don't be surprised when your NEW truck is dirty on pick up. I'm sorry what?
After I questioned it and said I have never in my life had a new car given to me dirty, and I've never had to paid for it to be cleaned. On the bill was a $200 cleaning fee. He claimed it wasn't being charged, but it was on the bill. He then claimed he was doing us a "favour" by not charging us. Well thanks, after spending 50k on a truck I am so grateful you are willing to clean an already clean truck.
On pick up, he also argued with me about gap insurance. I explained that since we are putting more down, the gap insurance should be less. He argued no. I told him to check. Surprise, $500 less.
We asked for two days in a row for a pick up time and couldn't get one from Amy. The day of, we waited around all day and couldn't even get an estimate on pick up time. Finally I had enough, I called the manager Trevor. Trevor was nice enough, and funny, the truck was to be ready in 30 minutes. If we hadn't called we probably would've waited till 8:00. Amy sent a text saying "sorry I was busy with other customers". I guess we aren't as important or as high of a priority once your paperwork is signed.
Overall, please consider another dealership. I will always give credit where it is due, and I have had great experiences at Oakville VW, image Honda etc. but this dealership seriously has zero morals and this is obviously a sales tactic they use as I've read other people saying the same thing. Save your time and find somewhere honest, and a sales person who is less miserable and can show kindness. read more
