Unfortunately my mother in law bought a vehicle from R&R. She got a Volvo from them a little over a year ago. That thing has been nothing but problematic since 2 weeks after we got it home. My mother in law is elderly and disabled, on a fixed income but takes care of several children during the day and needs a safe and reliable vehicle to use - they were told this, and they assured us we were in great hands.
They asked us to make a review after the experience of purchase, as the purchase went well and they were friendly. They did misrepresent that the vehicle had a warranty. They did not disclose that it did NOT have a warranty until we had paid them the down payment money the day before, and it was the very last paper signed.
3 weeks in - it wouldn't start. It needed a repair in excess of $500 - mind you, the first payment on the car wasn't even DUE yet. So with the down payment and payments considered, that's ridiculous.
HOWEVER, I will say that R&R did reimburse my mother in law for this repair after the fact.
Since we brought the car home, there have been one problem after another. SO their triple check guarantee? No.. they're really just trying to band aid things to get you into the car.
After it was home, the glue they put on the trim was beginning to come off and the trim was lifting, among other cosmetic quick fixes - but cosmetic as this is, we moved forward and glued it back down (it was obvious this is what was done). But not cosmetic; The car has dumped quarts and quarts of oil since we got it.. she was continuously having to replace oil lost. It has some sort of electrical short to one of the headlights causing it to continually blow the bulb (really, in a year we've bought 4 bulbs)... and sometimes it just shorts out and doesn't work, but then will work again later, then the bulb will blow.
Now, the whole engine is shot. On a car she has had for 1 year 3 months. This isn't wear and tear from her driving, she barely drives anywhere other than to pick kids up from school and drop them off, and to Dr. appts. She has put well under 10k miles on it since she got it. She doesn't drive it hard and she makes sure the car is taken care of. She doesn't trust the car to go out of town, so will only go on short errands around town. Which is good, since the car no longer runs at all and had to be towed home and a ride arranged to transport her and 3 children home.
Unfortunately, our thinking of Volvo as a sound and reliable vehicle ended up being a difficult thing - no one will work on them.. they're difficult as a "foreign" car... this part is not the fault of R&R; however, their team of repair agents only bandaid fixed things.. and after we got it home we realized this car sat for 2 years before we purchased it.
So here she is, with months of payments remaining - and no car. The engine is shot, and therefore she wont be able to fix it. No way to get a car, cannot afford another down payment on a car.. she owes like $2400 and several months of payments on this car, that doesn't drive and she can do nothing with.
I make this post because they always ask you to make a great review, sometimes with incentives, after purchasing a car.. usually people are quite happy to do so as they have been happy with their experience. So were we for a couple of weeks; it's been a nightmare since then.
Buyer Beware... there are many other dealerships that will give credit and warranties and stand behind their vehicles - R&R is not your only choice. read more
