Disappointing experience - problems started 28 days after purchase…read more Review: Unfortunately, my experience with this company was very disappointing. I purchased my vehicle approximately four months ago, and I strongly suggest that anyone searching for a car also consider dealerships with a better consumer history. Only 28 days after the purchase, I began experiencing mechanical issues that could affect the engine. Although the company performed repairs, the same problems continued to return repeatedly within less than three months. In addition, I do not believe the vehicle was properly inspected before delivery. The car was handed over with the oil close to its limit and with very low fluid levels in several systems that should have been properly filled. The tires were also already very worn and had to be replaced within just four months. I have driven less than 2,000 miles, yet the vehicle has already presented multiple serious problems. Even when the 3-month warranty is activated, customers are still required to pay part of the repair costs, in addition to transportation expenses and time away from work. I paid about $6,000 as a down payment, and so far I have spent approximately $8,000 total, including installments and repair-related costs. When I tried to exchange the vehicle, I was told there were over 200 cars available, but I would still have to pay additional money to make the exchange. After all the loss and frustration, I was expected to pay even more just to get rid of a defective car. Another very important detail is that for vehicles with more than 60,000 miles, customers may be asked to sign documents waiving the 3-month consumer protection, which makes it extremely difficult to resolve serious defects later. My advice, especially to non-English speakers: * Never sign anything under pressure. * Take all documents home and translate every page before signing. * If any problem starts, communicate only by email to keep proper records. This experience caused me to completely lose trust in this business. No one spends this much money to end up with a car that brings stress instead of safety and peace. Please think very carefully before purchasing from this company.

I want to leave this review as a warning to anyone thinking about buying a car from this company…read more If you are planning to buy a car for more than $20,000 like I did, please consider looking at Facebook Marketplace first. You will probably find similar cars for half the price and the quality might honestly be the same. The difference is that when you buy from this company, you pay a lot more and still risk getting a broken car. In my experience, this company sells defective vehicles. The problem with my car started only 22 days after I bought it. Since then, I have reported the exact same issue five times, and the car has already been repaired four times for the same problem. After six months, the issue still continues. What is even more concerning is that during the purchase process they make you sign paperwork that includes a paragraph where you waive certain rights. I strongly recommend that anyone buying from them take the contract home and read every single line carefully before signing anything. I feel extremely disappointed and unsafe driving this car. No one should spend more than $20,000 on a vehicle and then have to deal with the same mechanical issue over and over again. If you have also had problems with this company, please share your experience in the comments. It would help other people understand how common these situations may be and help future buyers make a more informed decision. I truly hope this review helps someone avoid the same mistake I made. We Will Let's start counting the number of reports of defective cars purchased from this company. put your problema here !!!

I can't say enough good things about this shop. After accidentally driving over a mound of ice…read morefollowing a snowstorm, my car started making a grinding noise whenever I turned. I was worried it might be something serious, so I brought it in to have it checked out. They took the time to inspect everything and initially ordered a part they thought was needed. When that part turned out to be incorrect, instead of pushing for extra work or costs, they found another way to fix the issue and completely resolved the problem. What really stood out to me was their honesty and integrity: they didn't charge me anything. Not for the repair, not for labor, nothing. I even offered to pay or at least bring lunch as a thank you, and they just were happy they could help me. It's rare to find people who are this genuine and customer-focused. If you're looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and kind mechanic, I highly recommend them. They've definitely earned my business going forward!

I ran into a car issue, transmission to be exact on Friday, February 20, 2026. I called Auto Lenders to have the service team look at it, diagnose and possibly repair. When I called the service department, I was asked the usual questions. My name, contact number and I was asked was the service for the Honda or Jeep? I said neither it is for the Subaru Outback. He asked if I had another number possibly? I gave an old number nothing came up. He asked if I was sure that I bought the Subaru from Auto Lenders, where I advised I did and it was my third (3) vehicle that I purchased from there. He then asked if I had the VIN which I gave him, to my surprise and his; he informed me that the VIN was still showing to be on the lot and not purchased. I said Sir I bought this car from you guys in June of 2023. He then said he needed to speak to the finance manager and would call me back, because he was showing that I purchased a Honda CRV. I was SHOCKED! I have never had an issue with Auto Lenders; the sales team was always helpful, not pushy and respectful. However, this is not sitting right with me. How could someone mess this up? I did call my auto lender, Capital One to verify they had the Subaru Outback information and they do and I also double checked the DMV records. The service guy would not schedule an appointment until this was fixed. My car was not drivable and I called back to speak to the sales department to see if I bought an extended warranty because I could not remember. It was the first time I encountered an Auto Lenders salesman pushing to purchase a vehicle. I advised him I still owe $17,000, the car was not drivable and I live 35 minutes away, can they help with a tow? He said if I purchased another vehicle, yes. What about getting the car looked at to be serviced? No. I understand clerical errors happen however for me the consumer, this is a big mess up. Although the paper work is now corrected, I believe someone in the corporate office should be aware of this error. I am an Office Administrator for a radiology company and if a mess up like this happens, it is imperative that I know and correct the issue. I have since taken my car to a transmission shop where it is being replaced. I never received an apology from anyone, no manager called me to explain anything, and the stress this caused was intense. In the past I have bought a 2012 Honda Accord, 2015 Jeep Patriot and 2016 Subaru Outback, all from the Toms River, NJ location. I hope this error never happens to anyone else and I hope your team, ensures the double check data while inputting.
