    Returned with stained dirty interior

    I want to start this review by offering my sincere prayer that no Daughter, Mother or Grandmother of the Horne Family, Peter Fairbanks or James Bejarano are ever treated with such unsympathetic and contemptuous attitudes and behaviors as I recently experienced from the Horne Auto Center in Show Low, Arizona. No person, male or female, should ever feel SO alone, stranded and unassisted by the Company they had just dropped nearly $70,000.00 upon six months earlier. Truly. While on a solo vacation with my pup, the morning of August 13th, my brand new 2025 GMC Sierra Elevation 4 X 4 left me stranded along the side of Interstate 40 in Holbrook, Arizona. A full 4 hours driving time from my home. The truck had less than 11,300.00 miles on it, had been regularly serviced and already in the shop once for a manufacturer's or in-transit displaced dip-stick and to clean the resulting engine oil spray. Utilizing the OnStar I called for assistance and then waited almost 2 hours in 100+ degree temperatures for the tow truck to arrive. I was informed, by GMC, that I would be taken to the nearest GM Dealership; which to my misfortune was Horne. I called Horne Auto Center just after 11:00 a.m. to let them know I was coming in on the back of a tow truck, as recommended by OnStar, and after holding for almost 10 minutes the receptionist asked that I leave a message instead of continuing to hold. The flatbed tow truck with the large RED truck on the back, the driver, myself, two suitcases and my dog entered the service portico several hours later, but we must have been momentarily invisible because it was probably a good 20 - 30 seconds before the two men not on their telephones even looked up to acknowledge our entrance... in their 6 X 10 foot office. Peter Fairbanks asked if I had called for an appointment. I informed him that I had, a couple hours earlier, and was still waiting for a call back. Silence. I asked how long it would be before they could look at it. Silence. I said, come on guys, help me out here! Am I needing to get a hotel? Do you have any loaner vehicles? What is my play? Silence, other than a NO to the loaner vehicle question. I know I was not in a great place mentally but I am never mean and rude, so their dismissive demeaner was very off putting and hurtful to me. Peter finally answered by simply telling me "they had 25 ahead of me". Okay, now we're getting somewhere. To diagnose? To work on? What does that mean to me and my predicament? I asked if those 25 people were stranded 4 hours from home with their dog, in their brand new truck? Silence. I was honestly beginning to wonder if I was dealing with functional mutes, and am on the brink of tears due to their utter lack compassion or customer assistance. Needing to reset myself I went into the lounge area to call the dealership where I had purchased the vehicle, to see if they could offer any assistance to get the vehicle delivered down to them. They could not, without paying almost $1,000.00 in towing fees, but they did provide the 1-800 Customer Assistance line for GM. After calling GM, I felt better. They explained the rental car reimbursement and trip interruption coverage included in my warranty and that I would be assigned an "advocate" to keep me informed, so I arranged for an Enterprise rental. Horne had previously told me they had no loaners. They wouldn't even give me a ride the 2 miles to Enterprise, but it was another customer who had witnessed this entire interaction that volunteered. As I was loading up the suitcases and the dog into my Good Samaritan's truck one of the service guys did come back over and offer me a loaner. Unfortunately, if I accepted I'd have had to return the rental back up to Show Low. A 4-4.5 hour trip. I declined. Two weeks later, on August 27th I receive a call from Peter Fairbanks informing me that the required part was on back-order and should take 1-3 weeks to come arrive. I am a patient person. After continuing to receive 4 weekly calls from Advocate Amy with "no update" and "I've escalated this" and "we have a new System", I called the dealership myself. This was September 29th. To my disbelief I was informed that the truck had been ready since August 28th and that James Bejarano had sat on the "reunification" matter until I had called on September 29th. They had the truck delivered that night, late. And I was grateful. It just should have been 32 days sooner! There is also evidence (photos attached) that the vehicle sat in their lot with the driver side window open. The INSIDE of the windshield, the door panel and the dash board all show signs of rain and dirt exposure. Moreover, there are signs of rodent damage behind the back passenger seat.

    First Horne motors and Horne auto center are connected simply because they are both Horne. Horne Motors does not care about you or selling you a reliable car. We had our vehicle for 33 days and it broke down. They lied and said they offered us a warranty and never did. The tires on the vehicle they sold us weren't even legal according to discount tire. We asked for our down payment back and they won't give it to us because "we don't have the vehicle anymore". We had to get a new vehicle because the cost to fix it wouldn't be worth it according to the other dealership and mechanic. I will never be recommending these horne crooks again. To Horne: please reconsider giving our down payment back or the reviews will continue to come. Thank you very unhappy, disappointed never again customer.

    I bought a 2024 Jeep Wrangler last weekend, and the sales staff was phenomenal. The salesman was very patient while I test drove 4 different models. When I had finally made a choice I wasn't sure it fit in my garage, without even blinking he went and measured the length, unfortunately my choice wouldn't fit in my garage, so asked if he had a Wrangler in a slightly smaller model. They drove a two door off the show room floor for me to drive, and was perfect

    Letter from Dan

    Fraudulent Misrepresentation of Sold Vehicle quoted a minimum of $1800.00! Warning DO NOT purchase from the Horne franchise. The GM, Joe Ricci, has refused to pay for the repairs or give me a full refund after multiple attempts to resolve this in a civil manner. Also, their salesperson, Guy Cucurullo, had falsely claimed that they ran diagnostics and checked for major issues before they sold the vehicle. With a simple diagnostic scan, major issues were found (see the diagnostic codes in the report) I should have known better than to trust a used car salesperson and took the vehicle to my mechanic. If they would have been upfront we could have worked the repairs into the purchase price or I would have passed on the vehicle. At least he got caught up in his lies and lied to me about the diagnostics. During the process of trying to determine the repairs on the vehicle at Horne Auto Center. I had to get in contact with the service manager, James Bejarano, just to get things moving. The last time I spoke with him he had the nerve to tell me that this was what happens when you buy used. Just another example of the type of customer care you are going to get at Horne. I have had to make every effort to communicate and get anything to happen. They just do not call you back or care. Joe is denying that the Body Control Module needs to be replaced even thou it is shown in the diagnostic report and even the estimate of repairs (see photos.) He also reported to James that these repairs are not safety issues. It can cause the lighting systems (including headlights to fail at any moment including while driving. Also, it can cause a parasitic drain on the battery causing the battery and/ or alternator to fail. Putting myself and/ or my family in a dangerous situation due to a no-start condition. The BCM can also cause intermittent failure with the anti-theft system causing it to currently be vulnerable to theft. He is trying to move this issue over to his boss Dan Macleod only stating in the email that there is an issue with programming keys. Their corporate GM, Dan Macleod, has also not replied to both his voicemail or email. The funny part is he sends out a letter that states, "This letter is an honest request for your feedback; good or bad." I guess that really was not an HONEST request; see the photo of the letter below. You will find there is not much honesty involved with the Horne franchise. This business is committing fraud against us. It's crazy to me that in such a small community they are so willing to lie and steal from their neighbors

    "Ruff... ruff... ruff, ruff!" Translation: "Thanks Horne Auto Center!" Love,  Jiro

    5/5 Customer Service- The person at the front desk, I think his name was David, was very…read moreknowledgeable and helpful and able to get my car fixed in one day! 4/5 Repairs- The only reason I can't give 5 stars on the repairs is this, and if it's wrong on my part then I'll adjust it later, but first, let me state, the tire pressure indicator lights on my dashboard stopped working a while ago. The reason I say that will be made clear in a minute. Over the past week, my power steering light came on in my '09 Chevy Cobalt and I thought "No big deal, my mother's at WalMart, I'll ask her to pick me up a bottle of power steering fluid." So I did that, and I then I googled where to put the Power Steering Fluid in a '09 Cobalt, which I guess I should've done first because I discovered that you don't put power steering fluid in an '09 Cobalt, it's electronic, so I didn't need the bottle- lol. I also read that the '09 Cobalt had a recall a few years back over power steering issues, so I started getting really nervous. What I had going on by now was this, all the indicator lights on my dash had failed over the past few days and even my speedometer had stopped telling me how fast I was going, then, in addition, my car started driving like it was stuck in 3rd gear, it wouldn't go over 45 mph with my foot to the floor and the rpm meter reading almost in the red. But David called me back within a couple of hours and told me that what had happened was apparently mice had made a home under the hood of my car. It's approaching winter and my car is always parked outdoors so I'm actually surprised it's never happened before. But anyway, $800 and only a few hours later I get the call the car is ready to be picked up. i get in the car and start it and it sounds beautiful, all the dashboard indicator lights are fixed EXCEPT the tire pressure indicator light. Now I mentioned this had failed a while ago so I wasn't sure if maybe they considered is a separate issue, but we said to fix ALL our electronic indicator lights and for $800 I would think they should be included. If it's not then fine, we're very happy with the repairs, I just thought why wouldn't that be included as well?

    STAY AWAY! Brought a vehicle there last year; all they did was check rear end oil, Lie lie lie,…read moreovercharged, refused to fix, and lied more. They'll lie in response, im sure. Service advisor David Bogar is a horrible person.
