Long story short: I left an honest Google review about my experience, including mistakes made and how their salesman, Jayden, treated me. Instead of taking accountability, they immediately defended him. Jayden sold me a car with the wrong MVI sticker, ghosted me after I signed the papers, and left me waiting for communication on when I could pick up my vehicle. The owner refused to apologize, instead blaming my credit--yet poor credit doesn't explain an incorrect sticker or a salesman disappearing post-sale. This experience has ruined any future business from me and my family, despite my dad purchasing multiple vehicles from Race Auto in recent years. Rather than addressing my concerns, the owner was more interested in defending Jayden's character--why? A simple apology and ownership of the mistake would have gone much further than deflecting blame. Did they put a one-year MVI on my car when it should have been two? Yes. Did Jayden call and text at all hours and ignore my clear biweekly budget? Yes. Did he ghost me after I signed the papers? Absolutely. And when customers have issues, Race Auto LOVES to blame their credit situation, as if that justifies poor customer service and failing to follow the contract. The owner's response further proves their lack of accountability, significantly reducing trust in this company. They claim to help those with bad credit, yet the moment you raise a concern, they use it against you. If bad credit disqualifies someone from receiving proper service, don't market yourselves as a solution. I'm genuinely shocked that a business owner would respond this way--big yikes. My dad and I just put $30K into their pockets, and this is how they handle issues? Not our fault your mechanics don't know what year it is. Neither of us will be back.

Very poor service. Next time I will be going elsewhere, but this is my third vehicle from them this is the worst experience I've ever had. I would not recommend them. The promotion does not state if you get a good deal on a vehicle that you do not receive the $500 promotion

I have been to Carsville twice…read more The first visit was probably 8-10 months ago. I was in the market for a new vehicle and after spending a lot of time researching online, I had narrowed it down to a few options. I made a list of used car dealerships that had vehicles that I thought I may be interested in and decided to visit each one to get a closer look. I arrived, got out of the car, and walked over to the vehicle that I had seen online. One of their sales staff quickly came over and asked if there was anything he could do to help. I responded truthfully saying "No, I'm just looking around thanks." to which he responded "Why come out here and waste my time then? You can 'just look around' on the internet." and we left. Fast forward to present, my girlfriend is now looking for a new vehicle. We decided to go back to Carsville despite the previous encounter because they had 3 or 4 of the vehicle she was interested in. We went over and were looking at a few cars when a (different) sales guy walks over to us. He asked what our budget was, my girlfriend told him. After trying to sell us on a car that was almost twice our stated budget, he asked what he could do to sell us a car on that day. My girlfriend replied "I'm not looking to buy today but I think this is model that I want. I was hoping to take it for a drive." The guy responded "I'm sorry, we're really busy and I get paid to sell cars, not give test drives." It is worth noting at this point that there was not another customer on the lot the entire time we were there and the three other sales guys had just been standing around in a group chatting since we arrived. Once again, we left angry. We will never return.

Not even an attempt to convince me to buy from them! The second time my fiancee and I came and actually planned to test drive a car we had found online, after 15 minutes in the lot with nobody as much as looking outside the door we decided to walk in. When asking about the vehicle the 3 salesman could not even get out of their chairs and hardly gave us the time of day. It wasn't until we said we "were" looking to trade for the vehicle that they stood up and started to try and help. The best moment was when I asked if the car comes with any warranty and the response I was given was a blunt and unexplained "yup". They may have great selection, clean cars, and a established name, but if you want to discuss price, or be treated like they want your business I would look elsewhere.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS - Aggressive and low even for a used car salesman…read more After not being able to agree on a price with one aggressive salesman, another called me back the same day and accepted my offer. I even provided my Financial information for the deposit and arranged for delivery (I offered to pay in full also). Then a couple of days later right before the arranged delivery date and had heard nothing, I phoned to ask what was happening, I was told they would get back to me...and surprise surprise he never did.. so I called again and got another person who told me that they had sold the car to someone in Sydney!!! The worst part is... the car is STILL up for sale on Carsales.com!!! At the time, the salesman even told me that 'it was tough but he managed to get the deal - Approved by senior management'. AVOID AT ALL COSTS - NOT TO BE TRUSTED.

I have to give this place a one star rating because Yelp won't allow me to give a zero star rating…read more Heard their many radio ads and decided to contact them last month when I was in the market for a newer truck. I filled out the online application on a Sunday and received the normal automated email reply telling me I was approved and would be contacted the next day. I received a call the next morning from one of the salesman. After explaining the type of vehicle I was looking for I faxed him copies of my most recent paystubs. The next day I called him back and he told me that he hadn't received my fax. I told him that I was coming over to the area that evening anyway to look at another truck at another dealership down the road and I would stop in with my paystubs for him to photocopy. I always shop around at a few dealerships when looking to buy a vehicle so that these dealerships know they have to give me the best deal in order to make the sale. I stopped in that evening and gave my paystubs to the salesman and we talked for a few minutes while he looked over my truck that was going to be traded in. He assured me that he would call me first thing in the morning with all the details about a truck that was perfect for me. They had none on their small lot at the time for me to test drive or even look at. I left there and went down the road to Race Auto Group and looked at three trucks on their lot I was interested in. They offered me a deal on one of the trucks(Dodge Ram) and told them I would let them know tmrw after I heard back from Dealer Direct. The next day I waited until noon and still no call from Dealer Direct. I called the salesman and he said he was with a customer at the moment and would call me right back when he was free. He did say everything was good to go and told me a few details about a truck he had for me (year, mileage, etc). I waited until 4 pm and never heard from him so decided to call Race Auto and told them I would be over after work that evening to sign the papers for the truck we discussed the previous evening. Dealer Direct lost a sale because a salesman didn't call me back like promised !!! A week later I got a call from another salesman from Dealer Direct wanting me to come in and look at a new Dodge Ram on their lot. He also said all he needed was a copy of my most recent paystub and everything is approved. I laughed and told him how the original salesman never called me back after he was done with a customer so I took it upon myself to purchase my new Dodge Ram from another dealership down the road. After an awkward silence on the other end of the phone line he apologized and asked if I was happy with my truck from Race Auto Group. Told him I was very satisfied and said thanks for asking. First impressions mean a lot and this was my first and last experience dealing with Dealer Direct.

I had one of the worst customer service experiences in Canada at this dealership. The staff showed…read morevery little respect for customers, and it seemed that many of the sales representatives had very limited knowledge about the vehicles they were selling. We recently purchased a vehicle from this dealership. They handed me the keys, but one of the smart keys was missing the physical emergency key. When I asked where the emergency key was, they simply told me, "That's just how it comes from the dealership." This explanation makes no sense. Every smart key is designed to include a removable physical emergency key. It is completely unreasonable to have a slot for the physical key but no actual key inside it. Instead of looking into the issue or trying to help, they repeatedly insisted that this was normal and refused to acknowledge my concerns. As a customer, I expected honesty, professionalism, and knowledgeable service. Unfortunately, I received none of those. I would not recommend this dealership to anyone unless they improve their customer service and ensure their staff are properly trained about the vehicles they sell.

Terrible service department and non-existent customer service. Service manager originally told me…read morewhen I made appointment weeks ago to have oil and transmission fluid changed and left rear turn signal hyper flashing it would not take any longer than 4 hours. According to GMC Global Connect(I actually work for GMC and can access all this and their records) the labor breakdown is 2.7 for transmission fluid, .3 for oil change, 1.0 for diag to locate pinholes in wire for left rear turn signal if I'm being generous and .5 for changing it. That is 4.5 hours as a reasonable expectation for this service call as a Certified GM Service Center. At approximately noon when I am expecting to hear my vehicle is done I get a phone call from their bumbling service advisor who had no clue what was going on with my turn signal, thought it simply needed to be changed. I had to explain once again what they needed to do, directly to them. I then explained I had rented a vehicle for a day(since they don't value customer service enough to provide a loaner for a customer spending over $1k for a few hours of work/or understand the value of having a customer drive a newer vehicle to promote sales) and needed to return it by 3pm to avoid being charged for an additional day. The service advisor assured me it would be done well before 3:00pm and would call me before then to ensure I was not charged an extra day and order an Uber to bring me to the dealership. At 3:15pm he called me to let me know my vehicle was done. Effectively lying to me for the second time and wasting my valuable time and money. Then when I get there the service manager was clueless to what was going on in her shop and useless in trying to make their shortcomings right. She was however quite adept at making excuses to completely avoid any responsibility and couldn't even make eye contact with me. Proving the old adage, correct that "someone good at making excuses is good for nothing else." They would be better served by having a mop in this position as at least a mop can serve a purpose and won't insult the customers intelligence. She did nothing to offer reimbursement for the extra day of rental, the Uber or the inconvenience of dealing with their rank incompetence. I would say that I hope whoever owns this dealership is reading these reviews but considering many others have had similar experience this seems systematic and business as usual. Unfortunately as I am new to the area and this is my closest service center/dealership. As a lifelong GM customer as well I will ensure I take the longer drive over to Steele next time for all my family's service, parts and vehicle purchases. I feel sorry for the average customer who is daily lied to and taken advantage of by this inept operation and will do everything in my power as a GM employee to correct this ineptitude. The service manager seems to think the fact they are "independently owned" they are immune to any consequences but as a more seasoned GM employee I know this to be incorrect and there are incentives that dealers value at stake based off their performance. Congratulations on losing a customer, educated customers are clearly not valued here.

I had been a loyal customer of this Toyota dealership for more than 20 years, purchasing multiple…read morevehicles through the same salesperson. Unfortunately, after his retirement, my experience with the dealership changed dramatically. I dealt with Mike N., who seemed more interested in closing a sale quickly than answering questions or understanding my needs as a customer. My interactions with Sales Manager Adam G. were equally disappointing. I found him dismissive, unwilling to listen to what I was actually looking for, and lacking the professionalism I would expect from someone in a leadership position. On multiple visits to the dealership, he was often outside smoking, and when speaking with him inside, the strong smell of tobacco was difficult to ignore. It did not create a particularly professional or welcoming impression. I also attempted to address my concerns through General Sales Manager Michele, but the experience did not improve. Throughout the process, I felt pressure to commit to a purchase and provide a deposit despite receiving no clear timeline on when the vehicle I wanted would actually arrive. What stood out most was the overall attitude toward customers. Rather than feeling valued as a long-term, repeat buyer, I was repeatedly made to feel as though the staff were doing me a favour by speaking with me. The focus seemed to be on getting the deal signed and taking a deposit as quickly as possible rather than building trust, answering questions, or ensuring customer satisfaction. I remain loyal to the Toyota brand, but I will never return to this dealership. In fact, I ultimately drove to another Toyota dealer outside the Halifax area to make my purchase because the experience was far superior. After more than two decades of loyalty, it was disappointing to feel so unappreciated. If customer service matters to you, I would strongly recommend exploring other Toyota dealerships before buying here.
