The most unprofessional and rudest company I have ever encountered in my life. I went with my sister to buy a used car which while test driving it seemed perfect and the car fax seemed clean. The place was closed and we were already staying after hours, so once we finished the paper work we drove off. Not even 5-10 min after driving out the lot, the car engine light comes on with a warning that it was overheating and to pull over. This happened 3 times on our 30-min drive back home. We didn't end up calling them because we assumed the place was closed and everyone left.
We called the next morning to report the issue but was met with a condescending response "well did you check the anti freeze" and had trouble getting the warranty we were promised the day prior. We go to Pep boys to get a diagnostic and the mechanic who works there said it was a transmission issue and we were sold a lemon. We go back to management only to be dismissed and told that pep boys doesn't know what they are talking about and that they are not a reliable source.
At this point we are frustrated with not only the dismal of our experience with the car, but them claiming the diagnostic report was invalid since it doesn't have "an explanation". So now we want a refund (it's been under 24 hours). They refused to provide a written statement of the total full amount to return to us, and the original check they gave us of the full amount, they immediately canceled it right after giving it. They failed to inform us that they would have their mechanic look into it which could be subject to change the amount given due to the transportation & dmv admin fees. Apparently their mechanic didn't find anything wrong with it at all, but didn't want to show us his diagnostic since "we no longer want the car".
Car-less and now with a canceled check in hand, we go in person to straighten this out only to be met with yelling, belittling, and straight up ghetto attitude. Keisha, the owner, also mentioned "this is why she doesn't like to do business with black people". After the entire headache, we were given a new check with the less amount, now currently holding our breath that we will be able to cash it come Monday.
The lack of accountability, customer service, and professionalism is astounding. I wouldn't be surprised if we get a response from the manager or owner showing the attacking and customer blaming. They said they are a "business", well how about being honest and transparent, showing empathy to your BUYING CUSTOMERS WHO KEEP YOU IN BUSINESS. Luckily we got some money back, but it did not come easy. If they escalate this, best believe we will get lawyers involved. read more
