Well not even 5 years after this purchase my hybrid battery is dead because of water from the rain, the Lexus dealership took apart the car to find that this dealership sealed the water break with silicone they patched this car up and sold it to me. My mechanic never saw this because it was inside the trunk of my car. These people are criminal! I will never buy another car from a used car dealership again.

I bought a 2013 Range Rover Sport from Wael at Yara Motors in May 2023. I have driven about 3,500…read moremiles since then, and have waited to post a review, to ensure that any problems had time to present themselves. I can happily say that the car has performed admirably in that time (no small feat, given the notorious unreliability of JLR products). I can confidently say that I bought a gem. I live in MD and found the car online. I've bought used cars at a distance before (sometimes sight unseen), and as a car enthusiast I'm used to traveling when the right one pops up. This one matched the model/color/spec I wanted so, despite it being in CT, I reached out to Yara Motors and explained that I was interested. Initially, when I explained over the phone that I wasn't local, Wael - the owner of the dealership - was a little hesitant. Perhaps he's had poor experiences with out-of-state customers in the past. I understand. People are flaky. Nonetheless, I persevered, and he seemed reassured when I booked a flight to CT for two days later. I arrived to find a small, independent dealership stocked with used, low mileage luxury cars (Audi, BMW, Mercedes etc.) that appeared to be in nice condition. I spent an hour looking over the Rover myself, during which time I hooked it up to my OBD scanner to check for error codes (there were none) and chatted with Wael and his mechanic about the car's history. They were friendly and welcoming. The front suspension bushings had been replaced in preparation for the sale (they wear quickly on these heavy cars) and an alignment had been performed. The alloy wheels had more curb rash than I expected and the front tires, while within legal limits, were worn unevenly (likely as a result of the car being driven by its previous owner on worn suspension bushings). But otherwise the car was in mint condition. Even the original window sticker was still in the car along with the factory toolkit, manuals, and all-weather floor mats. Wael would not accept a lower amount for the car but, in his defense, he had priced it fairly already. I bought it on the spot, with Wael kindly driving me to the bank to collect the money order. My drive home was enjoyable and uneventful, and the car sailed through an MD state inspection right away. When I took it to my local Jag-LR indie mechanic for a lookover, he confirmed that I'd bought an excellent example. Since then, I've changed the oil and tires, obtained and programed a second remote key fob, and bought an additional set of wheels with winter tires. After my first oil change, I sent the used oil to Blackstone Labs for analysis. The report confirms that the engine is wearing in nicely, and all the readings are in spec. I'm very satisfied with my purchase and would definitely buy another car from Yara Motors again. Thanks Wael!

Overall Shea's really reminds me of a small shop we used to frequent when I was much younger. Small operation, self-owned, fair pricing, no-nonsense. The price quoted was very fair, and didn't change when he ran into a related, unexpected, yet ultimately additional minor repair. Then he even went out of his way to come back after hours after having to take care of a personal matter that was NOT in the area, just out of concern that I might need my car back ASAP. (I did not, and perhaps there could have been better communication there on either side, but it was still a great sentiment).

We managed to limp the car home. Having been to Skytop a number of years back and happy with the service and pricing I decided to go back there even having been told by others not to and that they're very shady over there. I should have listened. We get home and I schedule an appointment for their earliest time slot which was about 5 days away. I explain what the issue was to the girl on the phone and she said basically no problem and would I need a tow? I thought I would so I said yes. Asked about the price and she gave me a tow price of $150 for only a couple miles town in town. We decided against it the day of the schedule. We get the car there. Drop it off and talk to another girl. Maybe the same one? She takes some more info and I talk about the tranny again. She takes down some notes. I then ask if they can take a look at the tire. One tire has a slow leak. She said well we can look at it but they don't do tire repair and to take it to another shop. Um... what? So whatever. We leave and she advised if they don't get to it today it will be the first one tomorrow morning. Ok fine. The next morning I receive a text message with a laughable inspection report. Regarding the transmission... "Possible transmission work needed - Take to a transmission shop." So naturally I call and question this. The girl on the phone said she can't help and quickly transferred me to the service department where another girl answered. I asked her to explain and she advised that their transmission guy left about a year ago and they no longer work on transmissions. UM SO WHY DID YOU TAKE THE CAR AND WASTE MY TIME?! Obviously at this point I'm prepping to go get the car and take it somewhere else. In the process of making those plans I get a text message from someone blaming me and telling me I was told on the initial call that they couldn't promise they could work on it but that they may have someone that could do the job.... yeah no thank you. Something's not quite right and since I was told they don't do transmission work I can't trust this. Who's this person that they may or may not know that may or may not be available for service? How is that anyway to treat a customer???? Naturally at this point I'm frustrated. So I declined and went and picked up the car. Never again with Skytop! I wouldn't have my lawnmower serviced there.
