It's been several weeks and have yet to refund my money for car I returned. I call every day and no one follows up or gives me an answer.

Malloy Ford - Truck

I highly recommend Malloy Ford. Great experience from the start. Found a truck online and Renee…read morereached out to me and made this a smooth process. Answered all questions I had and sent me pictures of the truck. She came in on her day off so we could look at and test drive it. Eventually ended up buying it the same day. From the minute we got to the dealership we felt very welcomed and comfortable. She let us test drive it as a family. When we got back I had a couple questions and concerns so she grabbed her manager and he worked with us. Financing was easy as well. Friendly staff. Offered us water and coffee while we waited for the paperwork to start. We had a couple questions and another guy stepped in to help us on financing.

I spent several days working with Malloy Ford of Charlottesville regarding a 2022 Volvo XC60. I…read morereviewed the Carfax, negotiated the removal of add-ons, discussed financing, arranged an independent inspection, and scheduled a test drive for September 25. On the morning of the appointment, I specifically confirmed that the vehicle was ready and was told it had been "pulled up" for me. I then advised that I would arrive around 11:00 AM after making a 1.5-hour journey. While already travelling, I was asked whether I wanted to leave a deposit to hold the vehicle. I declined, explaining that I intended to inspect the vehicle properly and arrange an independent inspection before making a final decision. When I arrived, I was told the vehicle was unavailable because another customer was test-driving it, going through paperwork, and had first refusal. I was then asked if I wanted to wait. I declined and left. What disappointed me most was that I had specifically asked to be informed if anything changed regarding the vehicle's availability before I made the trip. Had I been told the vehicle was with another customer, I simply would not have travelled. Shortly after leaving, I was informed that the vehicle was still available. I fully understand that dealerships have multiple interested buyers. What I found frustrating was travelling 1.5 hours based on a confirmed appointment, only to find the vehicle unavailable when I arrived. I also found it disappointing that despite several days of direct communication with the salesperson, arranging paperwork, financing, and the appointment itself, I never actually met the individual I had been dealing with. The vehicle may be excellent. Unfortunately, I never got the opportunity to find out. I expected a higher standard of professionalism, communication, and respect for a customer's time from an established dealership. Would I buy from Malloy Ford of Charlottesville after this experience? No.

My husband and I recently moved from the DC metro area to Charlottesville and after only a month we realized that it didn't make sense for us to have two cars since I walk to work and that we'd ultimately rather sell mine. I was nervous about the whole process and the paperwork involved especially since I had over 2 years left on the loan, the car was registered in Maryland (and in my maiden name) and the registration was set to expire in a few weeks. The staff at CarMax could not have been more pleasant, helpful, and kind to me. They explained what extra paperwork I'd need handy to make the process smooth and I got more money than I expected to get for my car (the best news!). We ended up having to go back a second time since I was missing my marriage certificate (to prove why the name on my title was different than on my Driver's License) but it was such an incredibly easy process. They also were not pushy at all trying to get me a car to buy that day (something I was also concerned about). I only had to explain once that we were trying to downsize to a single car and they never asked about it again. My husband and I had such a positive experience selling we are already thinking that we'll be back in a few years to trade in his car when the time comes to buy a new one and we may buy from them because of how positive the experience was.

Flow Collision in Charlottesville hasn't been a great experience so far. I was told the repair…read morewould take 5 days so I brought it in on a Friday (with appointment) so they could start 1st thing Monday. I didn't think it would be a problem as I had rental coverage on my auto insurance policy. After 10 days I was informed that a part was on back order until the end of the month (15 more days) by which time my rental coverage was exhausted. I couldn't drive the car without the back-ordered part & I needed a vehicle, so rental continued out of pocket. After a week the part was received and installed. When I picked up my vehicle, I was not satisfied with the repair. I wasn't willing to continue the rental out of pocket, so I took it home to await the availability of a loaner. Three weeks later, still no word. After a couple of attempts to reach out, no response. The last attempt, I was told the estimator was at lunch, to call back in an hour. I called back an hour later and was told that he had just walked out the door for lunch, to call back in an hour. I called back an hour later, they didn't see him at his desk nor in the lot, "he must have walked to the building next door". They took my name and number for him to call me when he got back. No word that day..... It has been 2 months since I first met with the estimator. Communication is horrid. I constantly feel as if I've fallen between the cracks or I've been completely forgotten. My only consolation is that I still have the 2-party check from the insurance company. Unsure how long they can float that expense.

I've had two experiences with this company. The 1st was to repair minor damage and they performed…read morewell. The second most recent experience was just awful. Original estimate was to complete the repairs in 2 weeks. It took over 6 weeks before it was repaired. I was told 3-4 times that the car would be ready on a certain date only to have that date come and go without any communication with me. When I picked the car up I believe my rep and his manager was intentionally unavailable to speak with me as they knew I wasn't happy with their efforts. No one was available to review the repairs with me. When calling their telephone system keys on caller ID to route your call. A couple of times I received a recorded message saying that I was calling after hours when clearly I wasn't. I guess they simply didn't want to talk to me. At pickup the car wasn't washed there hindering my inspection of their efforts. At pickup I asked my rep and / or the manager to call me. No one ever called. I'm leaving this constructive criticism in hopes that the business will improve their service to promote their business and to improve customer experience. Concerning the star rating, if I could provide less than a single star I would.

He refused to conduct business with me and basically said I wasn't telling the truth about what I saw wrong with the vehicle. The only good part of the experience was the young salesman I spoke to the day prior. That salesman was respectful, helpful, and nice. The owner is definitly in denial of the quality of his inventory and needs to work on consumer relations.

I was impressed with the vehicles they had on hand, but I knew what I wanted from their website after I found the car on Autotrader. Everyone was friendly on site, from the Clay the salesman, to the support staff and the owner. I did my homework in advance, and we came to a price that I thought was satisfactory. They are asking fair prices to begin with, in line with the market, so I don't think it's worth spending a lot of time and energy to try and squeeze blood from a stone. If you want a nice used car and a good experience buying it, these are decent and fair people to work with. And if you buy, go to the Charlottesville Downtown Mall and get a meal while they're doing the paperwork. It's about a five minute drive, and you don't have to just spend the time waiting.

The reason being, to be quite frank, was the designs were not exactly what we had envisoned for our next car. The brand with the hamster car?! No way! But, due to this dealership's quintessential gold standard service on all fronts, we changed our minds. From the moment we entered the lot to the finalization of paperwork on the car... we were truly impressed with the business. During our time with Price Kia, we worked with two sales associates, the manager, and their finance team. Each individual was professional, patient, and very nice. Not once did we feel any pressure and everyone we encountered was friendly. In fact, we had initially planned to purchase a different vehicle altogether but because the sales associate and manager went above and beyond to work with us on a price point we could afford, our trade in, and took the time to follow up with us on a car exactly within those parameters we came back. I should also note that the manner in which the sales associate contacted us was pleasant; he simply left a voicemail letting us know a heads up, and allowed us to decide whether we wanted to return. Essentially we chose Price Kia because we felt we had been treated with respect and the dealership operated with integrity. We could not be happier with our purchase! I would highly recommend this dealership and the folks we worked with during our time there.

Experience following an auto accident leaves me with questions about CMA policies and management…read more A CMA executive driving a dealership vehicle hit our car, was found to be at fault, changed his story, and stood by, allowing questionable actions to delay resolution of our claim. Why am I wary? (Based on reports from my husband, Virginia state police, insurance company representatives, and personal observations): 1 -- Our vehicle was hit from behind on I-64 east. The CMA executive was cited by police for following too close. No one else was ticketed. After saying he couldn't stop, the CMA executive changed his story and blamed a lane change by my husband for causing the accident. Completely untrue. 2 -- The CMA executive had no insurance or registration info with him at the scene, and later provided a contact who failed to respond to multiple messages. After about a week of silence, we contacted the dealership and were told not to call again, but to wait to hear from the contact provided. More time passed, and still no response. Eventually, research revealed the "contact" was a former employee at CMA's insurance sales brokerage, neither an agent nor active employee of an insurance carrier able to process our claim for damages. 3 -- More research led us to an actual insurance carrier for the dealership and vehicle which hit our car. CMA documents showed the vehicle was not listed in the dealership inventory where the at-fault driver had an office, but was assigned to inventory for a dealership in Colonial Heights. Colonial Heights said they were not involved, another contradiction of documents CMA had provided. We filed a claim with a different insurer CMA had listed, then learned that carrier had been instructed to drop it so CMA could use their third party administrator to "process" our claim. For over a month, messages were ignored, and there was no reimbursement of towing expenses, no authorization for repairs, and no replacement vehicle to drive -- completely unlike the experience of the CMA executive who was driving another dealer-owned vehicle in no time. The CMA executive then advised us to file a claim with our own carrier, meaning we would be covering the deductible and also running the risk of a premium increase due to the claim, even though we were not at fault. CMA's third party admininstrator stalled inquiries by our insurance carrier as well, failing to return phone calls and using various tactics which resulted in delays resolving the claim. It was during this time that the CMA executive changed his story and alleged my husband caused the accident by changing lanes even though both vehicles had been traveling in the left lane for some time prior to the collision. 5 -- CMA's third party administrator filed a request for mediation, seeking to prove their client was NOT at fault despite the police citation and testimony from my husband. This further delayed settling the claim. Ultimately, mediation ruled that the CMA executive was at fault. 6 -- The BMW my husband and I had bought a few months before the accident was totaled, and we were unable to replace it with a comparable make, model year, and mileage vehicle despite searches in VA, NC, and MD. Our insurance carrier can legally negotiate to recover company losses, but we're on our own trying to recover from CMA's third party administrator who's already proven difficult and uncooperative. So much time, money, and aggravation for an innocent party because CMA refused to do the right thing. We wrote to the CMA President and CEO and heard nothing back from her either. Not a great first impression of CMA, particularly when, as a new manager, the CMA executive emphasized values such as "fairness", "accountability", and "eliminating excuses" in an interview, and the CEO was quoted as saying, "Spread love wherever you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier," when interviewed after receiving an automotive dealership reward.
