    Rear end deterrent fee con artist

    Beware of these con artists I will show you exactly what they do I was gonna buy a Toyota RAV 4 and they told me it was gonna cost $14,000 except when you go inside they quote run the numbers now when they say they're going to run the numbers what that means is they're going to tack on scam artist fees to include a rear end deterrence fee what that is is they're gonna do an unnecessary and in some states illegal a fee to make sure your VIN number is protected which actually is totally unnecessary not illegal in California but it is in Georgia then they're gonna tack on $500 of other fees and then they're gonna basically take your 14,000 up to $18,000 so I called them out I left a billion inappropriate abusive and nasty messages on a cell phone Text service which they contacted me after I told them not to contact me do not contact me by cell phone and they did it anyway now I'm gonna include the image of the of the of the of the bill and then they're gonna send you they countered by threatening to publish all my nasty messages and I really hope they do because you're gonna see the kind of abuse I can dish out which they totally deserve and I really hope they do publish those texts because it shows that they are trying to blackmail me to keep me from posting this message If you ever see them put rear end deterrent fee for $1500 walk away

    $3K markup on a Civic is crazy
    Matt H.

    STEALERSHIP ALERT!!! $2,995 dealer mark ups on Honda Civics?! Shame on this STEALERSHIP for taking advantage of customers in SLO. An almost $3K mark up on a Civic is crazy!!!! No wonder why the lot is full of cars. I will be making the drive all the way to Thousand Oaks to get my Honda Civic serviced. The Thousand Oaks Honda dealership has NO mark up and gave me a $500 discount on purchase. Don't give these thieves at Sunset Honda any of your hard earned money.

    My new Honda CRV Sport L. Thank you Travis!

It was a long awaited service for a factory recall on the passenger front airbag sensors. Check sensors and if needed replace them. He said 70% have been needing replacement when checked. To make matters stressful for me I came down from Paso. I explained to Joshua that my son in law was supposed to be off today so I could do my car appointment in SLO but due to fires burning all over CA he was not released from his CDF station and I would have to get back to Paso by 1125 to pick up the little one from Pre K. I had called my son as a backup to get him in case I was delayed at the dealership. Well the car was finished in less than 90 minutes. The Seat had to be removed to check sensors and replace them. So all was great and I was able to leave early and get back to North County to pick up the Grandson. I was very pleasantly surprised .

As we walked the lot they said their used car inventory was small and then asked what we were really looking for. Given our criteria and what our budget Anthony (our sales man) pointed out we could find a new Hyundai that exceeded our expectations. After a test drive, we told them that we were going to continue our quest since we were still investigating. We circled back to look at new cars at the previous dealerships. One sales lady used the "what do I need to do to get you into a car today?" method. We realized Hyundai had the most to offer. size features and warranty. We were very pleased that Hyundai was so confident in their car that they actually suggested we shop around. We ultimately purchased a car that exceeds our expectations, has phenomenal warranty, and will last us a decade. One final note is the finance manager actually soft-pedaled their extended warranty. He reminded us that the car already had a 10 year warranty when we were asking about extended warranties. Our salesman was Anthony and I feel very good recommending him to others.

The inspection was done by Rizzoli a highly trusted local group which gave me a lot of advice as to what kind of car to buy before I even went to any dealerships . Hyundai refused. They said that this inspection was just mere recommendations to which I say what is the point of even doing independent inspection With that attitude. I countered their $14,000 price asking them to apply to $2700 of fixes which they could do themselves in their own shop. And then I asked for an additional $2000 Discount for the hassle and the depression they sent me through because I was sure I was gonna buy this car because I was sure it was gonna pass the inspection. it did not. Absolutely under no circumstances should you buy a used car from the Hyundai dealership in San Luis Obispo They will not honor an independent inspection so therefore they are not trustworthy.

The new owners have hired a new team, re-energized the Chevy brand, and genuinely seem interested in selling and servicing Chevys and Mercedes. The new staff are professional and very personable. The purchasing experience of our new Chevy Bolt was actually a breeze and very pleasant. We've now taken both cars back to CB for service and have been completely satisfied.

The tail light failed due to moisture inside the sealed housing -- a clear manufacturing defect that should be covered under GM's warranty. Instead of helping, the dealership tried to blame me by claiming there was "paint on the housing," even though I have never painted or altered the vehicle in any way. To confirm, I took the vehicle to another Chevrolet dealership, and they verified there was no paint, no pre‑existing damage, and nothing that would make me responsible. It was simply a defective part. Despite this, CB Chevrolet doubled down on their incorrect assessment and even refused to service my vehicle because I disagreed with their claim. Because of their refusal to honor the warranty, we have now been without a vehicle for almost two weeks, and we are looking at over $2,000 out of pocket just to get the issue fixed -- something that should have been covered from the beginning. What makes this even more frustrating is that my family has been buying cars from this dealership since 2019. We expected honesty, professionalism, and support as loyal customers. Instead, we were met with blame, refusal of service, and a complete lack of accountability. CB Chevrolet failed us, and we will not be returning.

Throughout the years I've had multiple interactions with different representatives at this establishment, it's never been great. I fear that many people are being taken advantage of by this grossly mismanaged dealership. For the sake of chronology, I will begin with my initial negative experience. Clay Brechter, sales representative, helped me pre-order my vehicle from the manufacturer with all my desired customizations due to lack of dealership inventory. My initial experience with Clay was a positive one. However, once the vehicle was delivered things started changing for the worse. Vehicle arrived without some of the customizations installed on the vehicle and, to my surprise, Clay wanted me to pay an extra, previously undisclosed, installation fee ($500+), beyond the original quoted price. Why? His reasoning was that manufacturer failed to include it. Then came the finance guy that decided it was ok to blatantly lie about the actual cost of a "dent repair" plan. He claimed that it would ONLY add $1 to my monthly installments. As someone that's worked in the insurance industry, this did not make sense to me at all as it sounded too good to be true. I proceeded to ask for a brochure with more information. To my surprise, the brochure talked more about "Roadside Assistance" than the offered dent repair coverage. Note this is "paintless dent repair" coverage as per brochure, "minor detail". After I declined coverage, the finance guy just froze as if he wasn't expecting me to decline "such a good deal". He just stared at his computer for a good minute as if he was trying to figure out the best way to put on an Oscar worthy performance. With a puzzled look on his face, he exclaimed "oh, that's odd, looks like payments are actually going to be a bit less than originally quoted". Wonder why? Yes, indeed, a true miracle! Without the "dent repair" coverage, I would now pay over $30 LESS per month. Yes, I saved myself over $2,000, over the whole length of my loan, for declining a coverage that would "only cost me $1 per month". Fast forward to today's event, Colin from the Express Service Lane provided me an estimate of $123.45 for my maintenance service, which I agreed with. When picking up my vehicle and paying with a credit card I was informed about a 3% processing fee for using a credit card. I which I interpreted as clear defiance of Civil Code section 1748.1 and Senate Bill 478 effective July 1, 2024, which bans hidden fees and deceptive practices known as "drip pricing", I requested that they remove such fee. The service rep, Colin, was very polite and said he would have a manager come over. Obnoxious Paras Shukla, who introduced himself as the sales manager, the only manager on duty at the time, was not so nice and polite. He was quick to dismiss all my concerns before I had the chance to fully express myself. He was not even willing to hear me out and said that he would have to refer me to his attorney. He acted very unprofessional throughout our conversation. So, I requested that he provide me a signed document in writing indicating that they would charge me a fee of 3% for utilizing my credit card instead of cash. He declined to provide me with such document. After the continuing harassment from such a poor excuse of a manager, he said that he would have to refer this matter to the general manager. I agreed to speak to the general manager. He then proceeded to call "myKaarma", the credit card processing company. Yes, I was confused too. I suppose his General Manager is the credit card processing company. He was on the phone with them for about half an hour, while referring to me to them, in my presence, as an "angry customer", he requested the legal terms that allowed them to charge such fee to the consumer (I did not ask for this), missing the whole point of my complaint entirely. Attached is the initial quote provided to me before the additional undisclosed, unadvertised processing fee was charged to me AND the receipt detailing the charges and processing fee aka "surcharge amount". I am no legal scholar, by any means, but in my interpretation, these practices seem to me to be in clear defiance of the law. I encourage all patrons of this establishment with similar experiences to file a complaint with the BBB or Attorney General. This harassment and insult to our intelligence must end!

    We bought our 2021 Subaru Ascent Limited at the end of 2020. My pregnant wife was 1/2 a month from…read moreher due date and her AC just died. We test drove many vehicles, but Subaru was known for their reliability and customer service. We loved the Ascent, can't say the same for service. 1. We ordered some parts and scheduled with them to have them installed. When I showed up on the day that they were supposed to be installed they said they didn't arrive yet so they can only do a partial job. Then I came back at another time in which they told me they once again didn't have the parts yet. I had to take work off to drive 23 miles to be told that it had to be done a different day so I drove another 23 miles back to N. Atascadero. They also found that I needed a new front seat and so they had to order that again and I had to come back another day. 2. I paid the 30,000 mile fee to get everything checked. 3. my car was making a weird noise and we brought it in and it was supposedly a part that was recalled. Too bad I was in the waiting room with a two-year-old at the time and they didn't tell me for 2 1/2 hours what the problem was. They said I should've been told after a half an hour. 4. When I got the car back, I checked out the engine and there was no coolant. I had paid for that service for the 30,000 mile check and they said to replace that recalled part there was no way they drained the coolant tank and I said so four months ago obviously they didn't put coolant in my car. Is that what you're saying and then they kind of said well it could be either way. My wife had told them after many missed steps in the beginning that we were going to get rid of this car if anything else happened and the coolant was the last straw. It's usually hard to reach them when you call and they're always confused when you go in. So if you like really bad customer service and real bad service to the vehicle, Rancho Subaru is your place! All their charitable works and pet friendly advertising can only get them so far. We immediately went to BMW traded in the ascent and got an X5. Now we receive real service on top of having the great car. * I tell everybody I know and will never ever go back there again!*
