So I can't do any more than three stars because I didn't actually use Ray's auto for anything, and…read moreI don't want to give less than three because I don't know how their service is.. I am leaving a review however because at about 10:00 on a Thursday morning, I called these guys because my wife is sitting on the side of an exit ramp off the highway with a flat tire and I needed someone to either tow it, or change it for her, and I figured a nice 24-hour towing place would be able to get it done... Only instead of answering the phone it rang a few times and went to voicemail. I thought that was kind of odd. I've used 24-hour towing places before and typically there is at least an operator or someone that answers the phone, or one time I remember a voicemail box that said if nobody calls you back in 5 minutes here's another number. But anyway yeah, yelp is where I typically go to share my experiences, and luckily we found someone else that I basically threw a stack of cash at to go change her tire for her.

Simmons Rockwell Hallstead contacted me after I filled out a form about a specific Chevy Equinox…read more Sales rep Georden reached out first, promising he could get it transferred and proposing Tuesday at 10:30AM. I immediately asked for straightforward details in writing: full out-the-door price with fees/taxes, hold policy/deposit rules, registration timing, confirmation the charger was included (with physical verification), and current photos before I drove in. Instead of answers, I had to pry info out of him over days--busy day excuses, falling asleep, being out sick, passing me to Skyler Fish. He dodged confirming the charger/photos, insisted on reconditioning, but never delivered written buyer's order or verification. Kept stringing me along with "transferring it myself" promises. After a full week of back-and-forth, the truth: the car was never available. It was at their Bath location in service/intake for another customer the entire time. They "couldn't locate it" until upper management got involved, then admitted we were "beat to the chase." Georden gave firm timelines (Friday transfer), made assurances he couldn't keep, and wasted my entire week rescheduling around his word. **I specifically wanted the location that actually had the car**--instead, they solicited me and dropped the ball completely. Horrible communication, no accountability. Posting this so others don't waste their time.

They started to purchase other parts for the vehicle which i approved based on their suggestions and recommendations. Bottom line, i drove away with engine light still on and over $4K out of my pocket. A honest business person with Integrity would of said "listen we were not able to locate the problem on your vehicle or we don't have a skilled mechanics onsite to service your vehicle" and allowed me to drive away with paying only the diagnostic fee. Instead they recommended all other fixes to get money from me or simply rip me off knowingly they couldn't fix my vehicle. And the funny thing, they came recommended - go figure.
