Disappointing experience - problems started 28 days after purchase…read more Review: Unfortunately, my experience with this company was very disappointing. I purchased my vehicle approximately four months ago, and I strongly suggest that anyone searching for a car also consider dealerships with a better consumer history. Only 28 days after the purchase, I began experiencing mechanical issues that could affect the engine. Although the company performed repairs, the same problems continued to return repeatedly within less than three months. In addition, I do not believe the vehicle was properly inspected before delivery. The car was handed over with the oil close to its limit and with very low fluid levels in several systems that should have been properly filled. The tires were also already very worn and had to be replaced within just four months. I have driven less than 2,000 miles, yet the vehicle has already presented multiple serious problems. Even when the 3-month warranty is activated, customers are still required to pay part of the repair costs, in addition to transportation expenses and time away from work. I paid about $6,000 as a down payment, and so far I have spent approximately $8,000 total, including installments and repair-related costs. When I tried to exchange the vehicle, I was told there were over 200 cars available, but I would still have to pay additional money to make the exchange. After all the loss and frustration, I was expected to pay even more just to get rid of a defective car. Another very important detail is that for vehicles with more than 60,000 miles, customers may be asked to sign documents waiving the 3-month consumer protection, which makes it extremely difficult to resolve serious defects later. My advice, especially to non-English speakers: * Never sign anything under pressure. * Take all documents home and translate every page before signing. * If any problem starts, communicate only by email to keep proper records. This experience caused me to completely lose trust in this business. No one spends this much money to end up with a car that brings stress instead of safety and peace. Please think very carefully before purchasing from this company.

I want to leave this review as a warning to anyone thinking about buying a car from this company…read more If you are planning to buy a car for more than $20,000 like I did, please consider looking at Facebook Marketplace first. You will probably find similar cars for half the price and the quality might honestly be the same. The difference is that when you buy from this company, you pay a lot more and still risk getting a broken car. In my experience, this company sells defective vehicles. The problem with my car started only 22 days after I bought it. Since then, I have reported the exact same issue five times, and the car has already been repaired four times for the same problem. After six months, the issue still continues. What is even more concerning is that during the purchase process they make you sign paperwork that includes a paragraph where you waive certain rights. I strongly recommend that anyone buying from them take the contract home and read every single line carefully before signing anything. I feel extremely disappointed and unsafe driving this car. No one should spend more than $20,000 on a vehicle and then have to deal with the same mechanical issue over and over again. If you have also had problems with this company, please share your experience in the comments. It would help other people understand how common these situations may be and help future buyers make a more informed decision. I truly hope this review helps someone avoid the same mistake I made. We Will Let's start counting the number of reports of defective cars purchased from this company. put your problema here !!!

I can't say enough good things about this shop. After accidentally driving over a mound of ice…read morefollowing a snowstorm, my car started making a grinding noise whenever I turned. I was worried it might be something serious, so I brought it in to have it checked out. They took the time to inspect everything and initially ordered a part they thought was needed. When that part turned out to be incorrect, instead of pushing for extra work or costs, they found another way to fix the issue and completely resolved the problem. What really stood out to me was their honesty and integrity: they didn't charge me anything. Not for the repair, not for labor, nothing. I even offered to pay or at least bring lunch as a thank you, and they just were happy they could help me. It's rare to find people who are this genuine and customer-focused. If you're looking for a trustworthy, skilled, and kind mechanic, I highly recommend them. They've definitely earned my business going forward!

Last week I brought the car to the service department in Toms River for an oil change. When the job was done, Greg, the service writer, told me that my alternator is going to fail. I said how do you know? He said we can tell when we scan the battery that the alternator is going bad. I said really? So I asked, "What does a new alternator cost?" He says $870.00. I said I can't do that right now. So he says, "Well, don't drive far, it can stop working at any time. Watch your lights, they'll stop working".I drive to Stamford once a month, so I was concerned. When I got home, I checked the paperwork and realized that there was no diagnostic run on my car to prove his claim. Also, on my way home i noticed that my blind side lights or rear backup alert did not work. They were working when I drove there... My BIL is a Certified Toyota mechanic, so I called him. He took my car to the dealership and checked it out. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY ALTERNATOR!!! The button for the alerts had been turned off. I had a good experience buying my car and just continued to use their auto shop. Unfortunately, because of Greg, they just lost a customer. Did he see a woman come in for an oil change and figure he could make an easy commission by lying to me? My gut told me something was off when he was speaking to me, and I was right. Don't use their auto shop. They will rip you off! UPDATE. I have been contacted by corporate regarding my review. They said that they are upset that this happened and are very sorry. They say that the service writer has been talked to about this. In the past, I have had good experiences in the auto shop with service writers Chris and Maria. I have been assured that this won't happen again. I was instructed to contact the service manager next time I bring my car in... Thank you for reaching out.
