We purchased a used 2010 Buick from Progressive back in August of this year, hoping for a reliable…read morevehicle. Fast forward barely two months ago, and our purchase broke down completely. After having the car towed to an independent, reputable garage for analysis, we received the shocking news: the vehicle requires a brand-new engine. Progressive claims on their website: "We want every visitor -- online or at the dealership -- to feel welcome, supported, and confident in their vehicle purchase. That's why great customer service is at the heart of everything we do." Except "great customer service" apparently includes selling a vehicle that was clearly a lemon and needed a major, costly repair just weeks after purchase. Where is the support and confidence they promise when we're facing the cost of a new engine? The only thing we feel is regret. Do NOT purchase a used vehicle from Progressive. You will absolutely regret it and end up paying far more than you bargained for when your "new" car breaks down almost immediately. Buyer beware. This experience has been an absolute nightmare.

I needed a car. Not, let's look around and see what is a good place, NOW! So I asked the people…read morearound me, I even asked the tow truck driver that towed my blown-up vehicle where to go. All but one said Progressive auto sales. So my BIL gave me a ride, and 2 hours later I was driving an amazing car for an incredible deal. This story doesn't end here. 2 days later, the car would barely turn over. I thought I left the lights on so I called for roadside assistance thru my insurance. The company that showed up used 2, yes 2, jump packs on it and it wouldn't start. So, buying a used car, sold as is, where is, I still called Progressive auto sales. They brought me a brand new battery!. After I put it in... NOTHING. So I called them AGAIN. They asked if I could get it towed to them by roadside assistance, and yes I could. The mechanic they have found that the starter was burned up. He replaced it. You have to take the intake off to get to it! The absolute stunning part was, they did it for FREE. NOT ONE RED CENT! If you need a car, THIS IS THE PLACE!!!!

I had sent one rep exactly what I wanted, scheduled to sit with him, confirmed before I left, drove 45 minutes and I got there and he made me wait because he forgot, then tried to show me a truck that was the wrong color, cab, & package. Then said let's sit down and tell me what you want. It was clear he didn't read our correspondence and didn't really care. The second rep seemed to be excited at first, but that's as far as it went. The rep never returned any answers to my questions or even replied to asking if they were doing anything. I do not know what their problem is but if this is customer service and care, go somewhere else that will not waste your time.

We purchased a GMC Sierra 1500 in 2019 from Handy's GMC. We recently had significant issues with…read morethe motor necessitating it be towed to the dealership. After a week we finally received a call with a costly repair estimate. We decided to get a 2nd opinion and paid for another tow truck to go to Handy's to bring the truck for a 2nd opinion. The tow truck arrived to be sent away by the service department. After not hearing from the 2nd service shop we called and were told it never arrived. When we called Handy's we were told yes your truck is here , we told the tow company to leave because you owe $179.00. No one called or emailed us we owed any money. When asked why we were never called to be given the chance to pay before sending the tow truck away we were given 3 different answers. 1. Billy called but you didn't answer. We have no record of this call 2. We thought we saw the tow truck driver on the phone so we assumed it was with you. 3. Maybe we called the wrong number. Poor customer service and questionable business practices at best. I was told by the owner that sometimes they have employees in service that are good at repairs but not with customer service. Unacceptable answer. We immediately paid the $179 when we became aware of the bill and paid for a 2nd tow cost because Handy's refused to pay for the tow they turned away. We purchase new truck from Key in South Burlington and received excellent customer service.

They supposedly have a fleet of loaner cars but coincidentally not one car was returned in the 5 weeks I needed one to get to work and my kids to school. Would not assist with a rental car. Got my winter tires switched over while it was there and charged me $150. For the weeks of run around and frustration the least they could have done was comp it. I was told no, there was nothing they could do. To top it off I was given a filthy car. Cars should go back to customers after any service clean. Anything less is just lazy. Do better, Handy's. Maybe take some pride in the work you do. I am not including all the miscommunication and mistakes they made during this, it would be a book.

PSA: RUN!! Don't walk, run away from Cobb Auto located at 448 Swanton Rd, St Albans City, VT 05478,…read morewhatever you do just stay away from this auto dealer. What he does should and probably illegal. We bought a car from Don Cobb 2/7/2023. We drove it less than 20 miles before it overheated and completely broke down. I called Don and he refused to do anything for me stating I bought the car as is. We brought the car to a mechanic who noted metal flakes in the coolant a sign that Don had put Barr's Head Gasket Seal in the car. I was mortified and called Don who refused to do anything. My husband and son lost their second jobs without a car to get too work. I continued to call Don begging him to make this right and just take the car back and refund me. He said no, so I left a review. Only then did he call me upset about my review telling me he is ordering parts. Our mechanic already ordered parts but I told Don to bring them to our mechanic. Appreciating he was trying to do at least something even though he was clearly angry I left a bad review and demanded I remove it. I was obviously not trusting they were the right parts or quality parts which turned out to be correct. Our mechanic could not use the water pump as it was not the right size. Bottom line it's now 3/21/23 and our car is finally drivable. It's not fully fixed as there are many other issues with it. Our first round of repairs is over $700 I feel like I should note most concerning conditions that Don Cobb and his employees attempted to hide on the vehicle. They applied the tape over the two front axles to hide their condition, they need to be replaced asap. They poured Barr's Head Gasket Seal to hide a leak, which clogged up all the hoses and caused the car to overheat. They applied paint covering numerous rust spots, at this point even with the $700 in repairs this car will not pass inspection. Don is a crooked auto sales man do not trust him, nor anyone who works for him. Trust me I am following this up with the DMV, Attorney General, and the town of Saint Albans.

The sales rep when called out for payment discrepancies (quoted 313/mo for 36 mos; ended up being $373/mo for 51 mos) kept lying about why. Refused to provide paper copies of agreements.

We had a few vehicles picked out before we arrived and were able to narrow it down to two. There was no pressure what so ever between the two vehicles, and we appreciated that (it was a tough decision).

Brian Brady the sales representative, Trevor Lamson the Finance Director, and David Miller the Owner were a class act. They were very easy to work with...fair with not only the price of the vehicle we purchased, but also with our trade-in.

I bought a 2017 Subaru in April 2024, had the oil changed at Handy's in October 2024, and when I took it for the free inspection in January 2025, I was told it needed $7900 in repairs. My own mechanic fixed it for $1200. Either Handy's does a horrible job inspecting cars or they're trying to scam customers into unnecessary repairs. Or maybe they just sell damaged cars in the hopes that the customer will buy another vehicle when they offer "more than market value" for the car they sold you. Regardless, no more Handy's for me.

The car was in good shape and condition so I had considered it as a possible purchase. This is when it all turned sour. I was offered a trade in value for my car that was grossly too low. I had been offered up to $3000 more at other dealerships. When I told him that, he stated that he was giving me a break on the car itself, which ,all added together, would even out. However, he was NOT discounting the car at all. The "value" of the car he presented me with was $3300 more than the value listed on Kelly Blue Book. I felt like I was haggling with him just to give me a FAIR purchase price and FAIR trade-in value, forget a discount. I felt that he was relying on me not to ask him questions, but when I called him out on his lies he would just lie more. All in all, this was the WORST dealership I have ever dealt with. The cars are overpriced, the trade-in values are too low, and to top it off, they employ some of the sleaziest salesmen in Vermont. Don't waste your time!
