    Conversation with John once we left
    Adriana T.

    what a lousy company. Please whatever you do don't waste your time here. Dear John, I can't believe we attempted to make any bussiness with you. On 3/10 we came by to see your Red Audi A5 S Line. Before coming in you told us to come by and you would work out a price with us. We drove 45 min to see you. You barely let us test drive the car because you stated that you get car sick. Then after test driving your first words were "The Price is not negotiable." Leaving us confused. We told you from the beginning what we were willing to pay. You said you would work with us. Your definition of working with us is lowering the price by $400 on a $14,000 car. After discussing with you for about 30 min you informed us the lowest you could go was $14,750. We TOLD you that we would think about it, followed by asking you if you'd be in the following day 3/11. You told us that it was fine and that we could sleep on it. We had $13,500 cash. All we needed was to wait until the following day to get the remaining $1,250 from the bank as it was Sunday and they were closed. It's now 3/11. We stop by the insurance company and pay a $200 deposit for full coverage on the vehicle. We arrive at your dealership again to purchase the vehicle and you decide to raise the price on us and not sell it to us because someone else was going to come by and look at it today. What kind of bussiness is this? You wasted our time, our money and our patience While discussing back and fourth with you, you rudely snatched the keys out of my husbands hands and stated "The cars not up for sale anymore, how about that?" I'm sorry but to whomever is reading this. Please stay away. There is a reason this place is a 1 star. Not only that but John openly admitted that he sold a messed up car to his customers in the past. I mean who does that! STAY AWAY!!!!!! PLEASE!

    This is just one of 2 major bills I had the day after buying a car from Silva Auto, there is a Florida Lemon Law that protects buyers!

    Buying process is far different ... and let's preface that the unit was priced much higher than…read moreothers in market, not negotiable, and Carmax too now adds dealer prep and handling fee in the 1000 dollar range. So we found a car outside the area. We paid the have it transported here from another Carmax. We contacted a local GM dealer and found that Carmaxs Equifax reporting (versus Carfax) was incorrect and manufacturer warranty was finished. We also found the CPO on file was never paid for original dealer and thus not in effect. Urgh .... So we reach out after hours by chat to discuss cancelling and to find out the process when they were incorrect. Not to worry, the car was on a test drive and being sold today. Didn't you see the refund pending for delivery you paid ??? What ... So in effect the delivery was paid and funds received. The car was on hold and Carmax allowed another buyer to test drive and buy a unit held for transport. Then they just refund the money and fail to alert via phone and email. Wow ! Now again we were going to cancel and all is well in end. We won't likely ever consider Carmax for a buy in future however. Bad info on cars, poor hold and transport policies, and true lack of empathy around their business model and loopholes. Just another typical car dealer experience !!!

    We stopped at this Carmax to check out some used cars for sale and maybe test drive one or two…read more The way it works is that you basically have a Self-Service system here. You go to the lot and you spot what car you want to test drive and they will then set you up with the test drive. I guess it's a good system if you don't see anything you like and you don't waste a salesperson time, but I thought that was kind of odd. We walked around for about 15-20 min and did not find anything that caught our eyes. But at least we now know how it works.

    My experience with Avis car sales was not 5 stars but 10 stars. After purchasing my Jeep at Avis I…read morewas so impressed by their customer service I asked the general manager if I could write a letter to the "higher ups" of the company to express my great satisfaction. He asked if I would leave a review online instead. Though my review is a little lengthy, I wanted to share the details on why I think that Avis is an exceptional example of customer service. I was looking for a new used car and went to many dealerships before my husband told me about Avis. The salesperson who helped me was Hugo Ochoa. He was extremely informative, friendly and especially patient. I know that I am very anal, meticulous and admittedly can become a pain in the ass especially when making a large purchase. He never expressed any annoyance but only a willingness to make me happy with the car that I wanted. I couldn't have asked for a better person to help me. Never dismissive and no pressure sales like the other dealerships. I told him that I needed to bring my mother back to see if she could comfortably get into the Jeep SUV because the step up was somewhat higher than a regular car. All I needed to do was give them a fully refundable $500 deposit to hold the car. He warmly welcomed us both back and we test drove the car. I still wasn't sure about the car and I met with the finance person to get the details on the price and information on the finance charges. He told me that he would get back with me with the information. During these visits, the general manager, Caleb Ewart warmly introduced himself and expressed that he was here to answer any questions that I might have. When I test drove the Jeep, I had heard some "interesting sounds" and I wanted to bring it to my mechanic to get the car inspected. Caleb allowed this and told me to bring it back by the end of the day. Now, I ask you, what other dealership would do this? None, that I know of. Again, another example of great customer service! I brought it to my mechanic and there was nothing wrong with it except that it needed new wipers, a cabin air filter, the third row headrest was broken and it needed a good cleaning. I received the information on the interest rate and went home to research a better deal. I called Hugo and told him that I got a better interest rate. He told me that he would speak with Caleb, the general manager to see if he could get something even better. Caleb called back shortly and got an even better rate. I told him that I saw a price decrease on the car on another website and he told me that he had already lowered the price to match it. He didn't have to do this and be so honest unless I had brought it up. But he did it on his own. What other dealership would do this? None that I know of. Avis did! I came back with my husband to buy the car. A football game was on TV and they offered us pizza. I declined, but my husband enjoyed the food and unexpected camaraderie. Have you ever heard of a car dealership doing this? Another example of great customer service. Everything was fixed in the Jeep except the headrest and they gave me a voucher that as soon as I brought it back to them, they would take it to the Jeep dealership to get it fixed and would give me a loaner car during that time. The finance person was out that day and Caleb handled all the paperwork and contracts. I had a zoom meeting with the car warranty person and he explained everything in detail answering my hundred questions with loads of patience. I was very satisfied and bought the extended warranty. During my numerous visits at the dealership I had shared with Hugo that I had a dog that sheds a lot. He suggested that I buy seat covers and that he would put them on for me. This dealership continued to go above and beyond what was expected of them to ensure that I had a great experience. What other dealership does this? None that I know of. BUT THE PEOPLE AT POMPANO BEACH AVIS DOES! Thank you, Cheryl S.

    I recently purchased a 2015 VW GTI from Expert Auto Group through Auto Trader, and my experience…read morewas truly exceptional! Chad handled everything from start to finish, providing top-notch service that was both friendly and professional. Living in PA while the dealership is in FL, I was initially hesitant, but Chad and the team made me feel secure and well taken care of throughout the entire process. Chad was so accommodating and even FaceTime'd me so that I could see the car and hear it running etc. Expert Auto even took the car on my behalf to the PPI I arranged, which was a huge relief, especially when I had to set up a second inspection due to a miscommunication with the first. Sam and Chad were understanding and accommodating, which I truly appreciated. Negotiations were fair and quick, and the paperwork was a breeze. They also helped me arrange for the car to be transported up to PA from FL at a very fair price through a 3rd party that they work with. I have zero complaints and would give them more than 5 stars if I could! They're changing the game for used car sales (absolutely nothing like the stereotype), and I've already recommended them to some friends. Thanks so much again, Chad and Sam! You guys are the best! PS - I absolutely ADORE my car!!

I tried to give it a chance, but after this encounter, I can't say they are the best to go with. If you can, it's better to just buy the vehicle straight from the maker's dealership. Instead of the whole story, I will list the pros and my story for the cons. *Pros* Fast - In and out in a few hours Friendly(ish) - Majority of the staff was welcoming *Cons* TLDR - Chad sold me a van and failed to mention all of it's multi-thousand dollar issues beforehand (check engine light came on the 2nd day after being bought!), and for some reason falsely accused me of lying on several occasions, which I considered odd as I took time out of my week trying to help us BOTH out and there is literally no reason to lie! I just wanted good service and to go on about my day! Very disappointed in how service and communication was conducted at Expert Auto Group. Summarized story: I bought a sprinter van with Chad being the one to sell it to me. Did a thorough walk-around and noticed it was pretty banged up but could possibly be fixed. Noticed light coming in through the van, and asked about it and he said it shouldn't be an issue. Bought it, then it rained a few days later and flooded a portion of the van next to the electronics I had there and almost got me ELECTROCUTED since I was near it! Confronted Chad and he insist there was no leak even though there was water in the van during our walk through before I bought it, but I thought it was something else, but then it started to click. Eventually he offered to fix it and I shopped around for days trying to look for the best price so that it wouldn't hurt any of our pockets and it was hard to get someone who could work on a van that size, so he offered to have someone he knows fix it. Dropped my van off for 4 days thinking this body shop guy is fixing the huge dent and leak spot that I've been telling Chad I can't find anyone to fix. This guy "fixes" the leak with some weird, ugly, white paste in 2 spots that of course doesn't match my van AND all the dents are still on the vehicle!!! Then Chad tells me out of nowhere it's $300 out of pocket for me! No heads up or anything on my 2hr 30min drive over here saying that I was going to pay that much, and no pictures to show what was done! I asked why this terrible job was $300 and where was the receipt and he asked me why I need a receipt.. The guy "supposedly" charged him $800 for the sloppy work and I am just supposed to believe it without an invoice or any proof. Could have just been making that number up! If he would have given me an estimate beforehand, like I gave him the courtesy of trying to find a good one for him, I would have told him I'll just buy the materials and he can cover a portion of that. Would have saved me the long drive and multiple days without a van. Plus I would have gotten some of the dents out as well for way less. Then I told him I already had to pay for a lot of damages to the vehicle after I drove it off the lot. Things he failed to mention that were busted before I bought this thing, like broken seatbelt sensor which cost $338. Also, the 2 front broken tire pressure sensors, clogged DPF filter, faulty up & downstream NOX sensors which all in total would have equaled a few THOUSAND more dollars, but my local Mercedes with ACTUAL 5 star service looked out for me and made me feel like they were actively trying to save me money with suggestions and tips! I mentioned the damages to Chad and he didn't believe me and wanted proof, yet he could not provide the proof of the $800 "roof leak fix". Then he said I did some major wiring in the van that could have caused some damage which shocked me because I was trying to figure out what he was talking about since I DIDN'T EVEN DO THAT! Just a straight lie! Anyway, now I'm down $300 more and drove home feeling conned. If 5 stars is what they wanted, it should have been a stress free buying experience!
