It took me a while to write this post, but I feel like this place has to be one of the worst car…read moredealerships I've ever dealt with. I bought what I thought was a decent car back in November 2024 (at least according to the CarFax), and the staff at the dealership was incredibly kind and accommodating--go figure.
However, less than a month later, the car started showing sensor errors. I reached out to my salesman, Rafin, who connected me with Mitch, the Service Manager. Mitch asked if we could leave the car with them so the service department could "fix" the issue. After a day, the car was ready, but less than a week later, the same issue came back--this time worse. To make matters worse, the weather was awful, and the dealership is quite a distance from where I live in Brooklyn.
I tried reaching out to Mitch again, but it was like trying to reach a ghost--he never returned my calls or followed through on his promise to stay on top of the issue. Rafin, on the other hand, took all the heat since he was at least responsive. To make things even more frustrating, the phone operator, Mary, started screening my calls and became incredibly aggressive when I insisted on speaking to a manager. On the bright side, Annabelle was very sweet and did her best to pass on my concerns, but that was pretty much a dead end.
It wasn't until Rafin suggested I use my extended warranty instead of wasting time calling and getting nowhere that I realized there was a huge error in my paperwork. The warranty company and I discovered that the back office had made a careless mistake: they had linked the VIN number to the wrong car and failed to include the expiration mileage. When I called to inform them, I got zero assistance, and once again, Rafin had to act as the middleman while Mitch continued to "disappear" and no other managers seemed to be working there.
Eventually, the issue was resolved, but now my car is still at the mechanic getting a whole new engine because the original one was compromised. This whole experience shows me that the dealership is providing inaccurate information about the cars they sell. It's been a nightmare, and I wouldn't recommend anyone deal with them.
In closing, Rafin deserves better. He should find a job where he's truly valued, because he was the only one who stuck with me through this entire ordeal. Meanwhile, it seemed like the owners and managers were probably hiding out back, smoking cigarettes and ignoring their responsibilities.
