Do Not Trust Torres Automotive Group - Empty Promises and Dangerous Negligence. Zero stars would be the most honest rating I could leave.
We purchased a 2023 Hyundai Sonata from TAGG's Orem location in February, and what followed was an absolute nightmare--both mechanically and customer-service-wise. Their website is filled with promises of transparency, top-quality inspections, and customer-first values. In reality, those claims could not be further from the truth.
The salesperson proudly touted a "200-point inspection" and showed us a clean Carfax. The car looked great and drove fine during the short test drive, so we trusted them. Big mistake. Within hours of freeway driving to California, we heard a loud noise from the front end. We pulled over and found the rock shield had been taped on with duct tape--an obvious red flag for a vehicle that supposedly passed a rigorous inspection.
The real danger came when a mechanic in Los Angeles found the front brake calipers were not properly attached and the front brakes were essentially non-functional. We paid out of pocket for this critical repair, only to find more serious issues later: the struts were damaged, vital suspension components were missing, and the vehicle showed clear signs of a major accident--one that had obviously been repaired poorly and without disclosure.
Despite repeated calls to the dealership, no one ever called us back. Not once. TAGG's so-called commitment to "exceptional customer service" and "peace of mind" is nothing but marketing fluff. Either their 200-point inspection is a complete sham, or they deliberately sold us an unsafe vehicle and hoped we wouldn't notice.
Their use of a clean Carfax is misleading--any accident not reported to insurance won't show up, and clearly this one didn't. But any competent inspection should have revealed the mechanical and structural issues we found. If they missed those, then TAGG is either dangerously negligent or willfully deceitful.
We've now spent nearly $2,000 correcting their failures, and TAGG refuses to even acknowledge the problem. If you're considering buying from them, don't. Have your own mechanic do a full inspection before signing anything, and seriously consider shopping elsewhere. Our mistake could have cost us our lives--let it save you instead. read more
