READ THIS BEFORE YOU BUY A CAR HERE!
I didn't want to leave this review but I feel I have too, especially because google sensors reviews!
The spring of 2024 I went to Olympia motors to look at a car. While I don't have a huge issue with Lucas, I absolutely have an issue with his financial man jozef de ruysscher, who also owns the company Credit Revival Canada. While I feel that Lucas was being dishonest by not disclosing he had added an extra 1500km on the car until we got there, and by also telling us it had been in two minor accidents previously when actually it had been in two moderate accidents and a third significant accident. When we asked to see the paper work that's when he remembered that it had been in the third accident which was the worst of the three. So obviously not green flags but my real problem is that his financial guy, Jozef, is incredibly invasive, dishonest and exploitative. While I was considering buying the car he was calling me excessively and it was okay because he seemed like he was trying to be helpful and move the process along so I let it go. Then he started texting at odd times like after 11pm, and even in the am's of the early morning with unnecessary questions and comments. He also kept telling me excessively that he also had a business that helps people fix their credit, I at the time had excellent credit and didn't need his assistance, little did I know that would change because of Jozef. Eventually due to the red flags I was seeing and Jozef seeming desperate to sell the car I decided against it. That's when I found out that Jozef had submitted my application to MANY different banks all the while I'm thinking it was 1-2. I am a young woman and this was going to be my first car I've ever bought and I went into this with excellent credit. Jozef took advantage of me and did things behind my back and because of what he did my credit score dropped dramatically. I believe this was intentional on his part and that's why he was so annoyingly excessive with talking about his credit revival business. I didn't even find out about what he did till I went to buy a car somewhere else, and I was told that the previous dealer had tanked my credit which was described by the bank as, "A1 credit". I wasn't going to leave a review like this but Jozef STILL to this day messages my number and I'm done with it.
Be aware of buying a car here, I'm sorry in a way because even though I don't feel Lucas was completely honest, I don't think he knows that his financial guy is reckless, selfish, unprofessional, and detrimental to his business. This review will probably get deleted, but I hope Lucas sees it and gets a new financial guy. read more
