ZERO STARS This used to be my trusted mechanic and I'm so…read moreupset I have to write this but I don't want anyone to deal with what I'm dealing with. I bought my mini cooper from this business and the experience was great! I subsequently took my car into Bill every time and thought he was honest and had integrity. As single woman, I had other mechanics present as untrustworthy so it was wonderful find an honest dealership. NOPE! My mini cooper is now almost destroyed because of their shoddy work and I'm out thousands of dollars and I've had the run around. Below is part of the complaint I've made to both the BBB and Attorney Generals Office. We are waiting on a response from the business to determine if small claims court is next to recoup our losses. He installed after market parts in my car repeatedly with repairs lasting barely two years. THERE IS A PATTERN HERE OF CHEAP PARTS, NO ACCOUNTABILITY, MYSTERY CHARGES AND ZERO TRANSPARENCY. HE WILL PUT IN CHEAP AFTER MARKET PARTS THAT WILL CRAP OUT IN ABOUT TWO YEARS AND DESTROY YOUR ENGINE. BELOW IS PART OF THE LEGAL FILINGS WITH BBB AND ATTORNEY GENERAL OFFICE : I am writing to formally demand immediate resolution regarding the defective turbo installation and associated damages to my vehicle, which directly stem from your shop's substandard workmanship and repeated use of faulty parts. This is not the first time I have been left to bear the financial and emotional burden of your shop's negligence, and I will not tolerate this pattern any longer. The Facts Defective Turbo Installation and Catastrophic Damage: The turbo installed in my vehicle has suffered a catastrophic failure in just over two years, despite the fact that I rarely drive my car. The failure has caused 3 liters of oil to pour into the catalytic converter and seep into the tubing, leaving my vehicle in a disastrous state and requiring extensive corrective work. History of Shoddy Workmanship and Defective Parts: You replaced the valve cover, but that repair barely lasted two years before the part failed. Despite the warranty, I was forced to cover out-of-pocket expenses that should have been fully covered. Now, the turbo you selected and installed--a critical component--has proven equally unreliable, further demonstrating a troubling trend of subpar repairs. Lack of Transparency: Despite my repeated requests, you have failed to provide a receipt or clear documentation for the turbo's cost. The only receipt you've shown is for $298 for mounting pieces, leaving $702 unaccounted for in the $1,000 charged. Your refusal to provide basic documentation raises serious questions about transparency and accountability. Negligence in Professional Standards: Your shop's continued reliance on parts that do not meet quality standards, coupled with inadequate accountability for failures, has cost me time, money, and trust. You've stated in the past that you operate with integrity and "family values." Yet, this is the second time I've had to deal with defective parts from your shop, and the financial and emotional toll is staggering. You've acknowledged the turbo failure may be covered under warranty, but even so, this situation highlights the systemic issues with your choice of parts and service quality.

HORRIBLE DEALERSHIP! I could go on and on about how much this dealership has caused our family the…read moreworst experience with cars in the last two years. I would NEVER recommend them, they do shotty work, and con artists when it comes to selling you "reliable" cars and doing "reliable" work to maintenance those cars. The amount of times they put our family in true dangerous situations is ridiculous. And them pushing these crappy warranties on you is bogus. They even submit false claims to the warranty company, get their replacement parts from junk yards, and don't even complete work that they then bill you for. The only reason we continued to bring our car for maintenance with them was because we wanted it covered under the warranty. OH! And they claimed as your car depreciates in value, so does your warranty coverage - COMPLETE bogus and false information. That is NOT how warranties work. Within the last year, Car Emporium "completed" maintenance on our car to "fix" it, billed the warranty company and us as well for false work. I kid you not, just 2 months after they "completed" their work, it died on the side of the road on two separate occasions. Both times, we took it back to our trusted mechanic who did the same work all over again that we had already thought was done by Car Emporium, so even more money out the door. It is absolutely ridiculous, and I will say it until I am blue in the face - DO NOT EVERRRRR buy cars from this dealership!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tried multiple times to contact this dealership by email about a truck they had listed and never…read morereceived a response. Eventually I drove in to see it myself. The parking lot setup was chaotic with very little direction on where customers are supposed to park, and the driveway was extremely tight and difficult to navigate. A salesman approached me and seemed annoyed to even grab the keys for the truck. Beyond that, there was basically no effort to help. I asked a few questions and was told he'd look into them, but I never heard back. He didn't ask for my name, number, or anything. I had to ask for his card myself. A couple days later I reached out to two more salespeople and even made an offer on the truck. One replied saying he'd get back to me, and then never did. Honestly, it felt like they had zero interest in actually selling vehicles.

Staff openly vape, gossip, and speak negatively about customers while other customers are sitting in the lobby.

Had the car for only 4 months and the engine light started flashing, it normally stayed on solid, knocking noise under the hood, sputters like it wanted to die. I called them and told them and even sent a video of the noise and asked since it's only been 4 months, I hadn't even driven a 1,000 miles on it if I could bring that one back And switch out. I was told it was up to the owner. Well I have been trying to get a hold of TK the owner since April 29th 2026. And it's always he's not here, I'll have him call you.NEVER HAVE HEARD FROM HIM TO TJIS DAY. Yes I understand As Is but I have bought many cars from lots and they have lasted 4-8 years, I'm on SSI, I have mobility issues and it took me a year to save for down payment, Every person I talked to on the phone has told TK I've called but he refused to call me back. They are very unprofessional and not helpful at all. I noticed that a lot of the time the lower ratings are females and they don't help at all. They came and got the car after days of me trying to get some help. I saw other reviews from men where they got a different vehicle after something happened within 3-4 months of having it but I got no help, no acknowledgment of me calling daily for almost 2 weeks just wanting to talk to TK and he told his employees I don't want to talk to her just keep telling her I'll call her back and he never does. It's so messed up. But they'll get theirs in time. Karmas a bitch and so am I.
