Everyone be warned and read this carefully. Three months ago, I went to this dealership to buy a vehicle because of the good reviews and the opportunity for people with bad credit. We looked at a 2008 jeep patriot in blue and a ford escape. We test drove both and ended up loving the Jeep patriot. We were able to get financed for the vehicle within a few days and we drove it off the lot. Two weeks after purchasing the vehicle the rear left wheel bearing had been shot to pieces. $390 to repair. Two weeks after that the brakes started to shake violently when the peddle was pressed to the point I almost lost control of the vehicle. Come to find out that whoever had put on the rotors had over torqued the lug nuts and warped the rotors like they have never seen before. Brake pads ended up being ok but regardless another $100 to replace the rotors. Now most would call me a whiney brat at this point but this was only the beginning of what underlies this vehicle. Three weeks ago, I took my car in to get looked at because the rear end was ticking when I would accelerate and a loud pop sound came from the rear when driving on the highway. Come to find out the entire rear subframe of the car was so rusted out it had rotted and essentially fell out the car leaving one side hanging on. The subframe of a jeep patriot is what holds everything together and if that where to snap clean on the road before we pulled off to stop then me and my girlfriend would most likely flip the vehicle and died. Now you may be wondering how a car that was sold with financing was able to pass an inspection with a subframe that far rusted out to the point it was unsafe to drive on the road. Well the simple answer is the dealer lies about having an inspection on vehicles. I have searched and dug as far as I can to find any proof of an inspection and even tried to exercise my legal right to have a copy supplied to me from the dealer and they refused to provide me a copy. All in all, there was no inspection done on this vehicle before it was sold to me. Now if I were to take my car to a certified jeep dealer to have this fixed it would have cost me near $5300 to repair and that didn't include any control arms or tie rods that might have broke in the process. I ended up buying a used subframe for $200, found a mechanic willing to do it for $650 labor (which he did a great job btw), then had to replace 2 mount bolts for $15, and a rear differential insulator for $75. After the new subframe was in I had to pay for an alignment which cost me $100. Total for all the repairs it cost $1040. I called and offered a peaceful solution and asked them to cover the repairs as a fair gesture for selling me a vehicle in the condition that it was in and they explicitly refused. Doug Matheny, the owner, is a complete asshole and cussed and yelled at me when I was calmly trying to provide him a solution before escalating the situation. They demanded me to drive the car to their shop, which I couldn't do because the car was unsafe, and pay them $400 and supply my part that I had bought already. They refused to pay to tow the car that was currently down by Newport Kentucky which would have cost me an arm and leg to tow back to New Paris Ohio. In Conclusion do not ever buy a vehicle or have your car repaired at this shop because they will not only cheat you out of your money but will also put you in danger by selling you an unsafe vehicle off their lot without proper inspection. read more
