Worst dealership in Windsor (Address: 1275 Provincial Road. Windsor) This man was not honest with us. He asked us to pay a deposit of $1000 and when I said I could only do half he agreed. I paid $500 of the deposit, after I did some research I found out that the car I was interested in had recently been involved in a major accident and was considered very unsafe to drive. I told Sam we wanted our money back, and he only returned me $300. He said he paid $200 for the safety but had no evidence to prove he did. In fact, I had called him back 10 times the next morning before he finally called me back. I wanted to tell him I wasn't interested in the car. Save yourself the headache of buying one of his junkyard cars. The man is not honest. He will steal your money at all costs. read more

Didn't need an appointment at all went there he was more than happy to deal with me. I just caught him in a lie and he got mad when I challenged him on it said he can't make me happy really said new brakes all around for safety now tells me only front pads. The wipers I had to replace garbage and were supposed to be part of safety also key fobs didn't work another $150 and I only have driven van 200 km. He said it's used what do you want really 8500 I expect at least a proper safety and stand by it. Never buy from Sam he is a scammer absolutely fake safety. Lies right to you with a smile on his face when confronted with his lies he stuttered and becomes beligerent. read more

DON'T buy anything from this dealer..Walk Away!.....He gives shady service...Issues a safety before it even gets checked. Signs it his self..does hes own repairs ...(he's Not a mechanic), won't give you a car history report, just gets you to sign off saying it's sold as is, cause he's unsure of its history. 1 week after buying this car from him, the ball joints are screwed and found out breaks/roaters are done, other issues poping up electrical issues and thousands of $ out the door on a piece of junk that I'm stuck with...Funny thing is all these things are required for safety but now gona have to pay myself...GRRRR! So there's so many dealerships around, Don't go to him! read more

I actually bought 3 cars from Sam Auto Sales. My first one was a 2002 Dodge minivan and was in a good condition and sam helped me to secure a good rate financing loan by Trend financial company and did the safety and all paper work within 24hours after approval and also a full detailed cleaning for my car .I was very happy about the service that I received from him and that's was the main reason I returned back to buy my other 2 cars . I bought a dodge 2008 minivan but unfortunately I had an accident after 4 months so I went back and I bought a 2010 Dodge minivan And I still have it until this day and whenever I need some help with wear and tear spre parts for my car I go to Sam and he kindly get them for me from the dealership at cost. I truly recommend Sam Auto for any body seeking good service with honesty and dignity. read more

Sam sold a car to us and said that he would fix any issues that happened within 30 days of purchase. We got a check engine light within 7 days and informed him. He misguided us and never fixed the problem, asked us to pay for it because we told him we are new immigrants to Canada. He was very rude to me and my wife as well. Check engine code that came up was P0456 - Evaporative Emission System Leak. He said this could occur because of "low quality gas that I buy from the US!". HE also mentioned that it could also occur because of using Regular octane gas instead of Premium. When we checked with Canadian Tire and other mechanics, they all said that is not the reason for this code. It was clear that he tried to give various reasons so that he would not have to fix the car. He then asked us to fill premium gas and change the gas cap. We followed his steps but it did not solve the problem. When we asked him to fix the problem he said he will charge us for diagnosis or asked us to do the diagnosis outside, which would cost $150. Why would he expect a customer to pay when the problem occurred within the warranty period. Such pathetic is his customer service and I would never recommend anyone to purchase a car from Sam Auto Sales. read more

AVOID THIS DEALERSHIP AT ALL COSTS! Sam is a liar, scammer and he is cheap. He rigged his safety tests, or bribed the mechanic to get it signed, he uses the cheapest parts on vehicles, and he doesn't point out issues you should know about, until you've made the purchase. He's a horrible person and a terrible salesman. I purchased a car that I had to put a lot of money into. Do not go here for a vehicle. Go somewhere else, but definitely not here. You will lose A LOT of money and get tricked. AVOID! DO NOT LISTEN TO THE FIRST REVIEW! It's more than likely that he wrote that or got a friend to write it because that review is full of LIES! read more

I feel Sam was not honest with me. I put a deposit down and when I came back with a change of heart he said the auto was already in my name, and it was. I guess I did not realize what I signed, and yet I should have realized I still was not obligated for the other $10,000, yet I paid the rest. I know really, I should know when I am being swindled at 60 years old. He told me the brakes were new. Within a week I knew that not to be true. I took my car to a mechanic who said I needed pad replacement, new calipers, and rotors on the back and rotors and pads on the front. The estimate was. $1500. I took the car back to Sam one week later, while still under the 30 day warranty, He said ridiculous I will take it to my mechanic, you pay for half of the parts and I will handle the rest. I then gave him $200 for my half of the parts. That was seven months ago. My brakes went out on a mountain pass in Colorado at night on my way to see my dying father. The mechanic said they rusted and locked. The only thing new on those brakes were some of the pads. He did nothing but keep the additional $200. Now I realize why he took the deposit, put the car in my name, safety included, and told me the car was mine, and that I had to pay for it. So I have had the car 8 months. During this time I have had to get the rocker arms replaced, sway bar, tie rods, brakes, struts, exhaust including manifold, timing belt, the serpentine belt snapped, and a huge problem with the spark plug ignition coil that leaves me stranded every few weeks. I did not even bother to go back. Needless to say the brakes going out in Colorado prevented me from being able to say goodbye to my dad who died three hours before I arrived. Technically if I paid $200 for 1/2 of the parts for the brakes then the charge was $400 for 2 brake pads. So this was my experience with Sam, buyer beware. read more

Seen and liked a different Trailhawk they just got in with more options. The "used vehicle" manager lowballed me on my-trade in (compared to another local dealership), but said they would give me $1000 more on the trade if I purchased the "advertised" one because it has been on the lot longer & they wanted to get rid of it. I sold my truck private (for much more) then got ahold of a "New Vehicle" sales person (Ann) because I had a bad experience with the used car staff. I made a deal with her on the Trailhawk they just got in. Their Ad states "NO HIDDEN ADMIN OR EXTRA FEES" and "OUR USED PRICES INCLUDE ALL IN PRICING". I was charged a "DOC" fee of $349 on my bill and was told that was because I worked out a better price than the window "advertise price". So does this mean a customer is not supposed to work out a better price? Then charged $86 for "FUEL", the tank holds 60 Liters, at less than $1 a litre locally that does not ad up to $86. Then their currant promotion states "SPIN TO WIN ON ALL IN STOCK 2016 AND 2017 VEHICLES", NO where at all does it state that it has to be new! So I was told my 2016 did not apply to that promotion. But Ann did toss in a "Jeep" ball hat which was appreciated. Don't believe I will deal at Provincial Chrysler in Windsor again. Buyer Beware!

This was NOT AT ALL REVIEWED OR EXPLAINED TO ME. I signed the document not even considering it would be different than my other 2 leases. I noticed Greg Gill is no longer with Performance Ford or the Rafih Group. I spoke to Moe initially at Performance Ford who listened to my issue and was I advised that he would take this to management. Apparently, there are a number of customers who signed similar leases without disclosure of the nature of the lease.

I don't typically search for or consider reviews before buying things, but I landed on this website to post first review and I'd like to thank for being stuck at home due to the corona virus crisis and having time to read all others reviews to update my old one after using my car I purchased from Sam Auto for enough time and share my experience . Upon reading reviews here, I was skeptical that something was not quite right, so I decided to dig deeper as I have already been searching for a long time to buy a used car with good quality and fair price, which I finally found at this business. Regardless of whether I ended up buying a car from this dealer, I decided to contact the Ministry of Transportation to get accurate information and eliminate subjectivity and bias. I learned that any car dealer who violates the law will receive a ticket for a first offense. After the third offense, their license to legally operate the business will be suspended and they will not be allowed to open the business. I concluded that the negativity shown here is very subjective and meant to damage the reputation of this business without real evidence from the authorities or councils who enforce corporate behavior and safety rules and regulations. When sharing my research and conclusions with family and friends, they highlighted to me that the allegations could be a result of misleading feedback from mechanics to car buyers. Used car buyers are often told that their newly purchased cars require additional repairs, though unnecessary on safety grounds, for mechanics to secure additional business and unnecessarily charge work hours to. In conclusion, after completing my research and getting second opinions from family and friends, I proceeded without much hesitation to buy the car that fits my needs and fits the bill from this dealer. He is doing his job and his main goal is to ensure customer satisfaction by providing a good buying experience. I respect others' opinions and am not looking to argue for or against this dealer. I had a pleasant experience buying a car and am fully satisfied . read more

I have dealt with Sam at Sam Auto Sales two times so far (2016 and last week). I was very happy with the service I received on both occasions. My first vehicle is still running flawlessly. I've only had to change oil, brakes and windshield wipers (and I average over 32,000 km per year). After we agreed on the deal (first car), I mentioned to him that I plan to change the battery, for peace of mind, as we were coming up on winter (though there was nothing wrong with the actual battery). When I showed up to pick up the car the following day, not only was the car in immaculate condition, he also had put in a brand-new battery for me (at no extra cost). How kind and thoughtful! I returned last week shopping for a family car (minivan), received excellent and timely service again, and walked away very satisfied with my second purchase. It is a pleasure dealing with Sam, he genuinely cares, ensures that customers are satisfied, is honest, and extremely helpful. I highly recommend Sam Auto Sales. Thumbs up all the way. read more

Bought a car a few months back - A day after receiving the car i noticed a strange engine noise. I took it back and tried to get it fixed but was told that it was not an issue and that if it was bothersome to come back in a few months. A few months later i went to my mechanic to take a look at it and he said the issue was of major concern. Not to mention when he hooked up the OBD Scanner on the car, the printout looked like a Christmas novel with issues. When i came back to the lot, there was issues with the warranty and I was not able to capitalize on the warranty purchased. Buying experience was great but anything after handing the money over was shady and disappointing. At the end of my 6 months of owning the car I lost around $6000. In hindsight, I should have just purchased a new car and saved myself the headache of dealing with this.... read more

I bought 2 cars from Sam Auto Sales and they were both sold to me in excellent condition and cleanliness with 0 problems and he has a lot of quality cars to choose from. Maybe a part or 2 needed replacing over the 6 years I've owned the vehicles but nothing was serious. He helped me find exactly what I was looking for based on my budget. Any info I ask him for before buying the car was given to me up front. If I wanted insurance for any part of the car I felt unsure about, he offered that to me. I will 100% go to him again, and refer my friends to him. He is an honest dealer and I was very pleased with the customer service throughout every step of the way. read more
