    "No Exceptions and Absolute Compliance (UDAP): A -$750.00 LOSS on Money Market Plus Account Trust…read moreAccount for Long Term Care." Five Stars* for the fantastic people at the Elk Grove Branch! Johanna Settles was very empathetic and advocated fiercely for my Disabled Mother's loss Bonus Interest (about $750.00) on her Trust Account, which is to pay for Long Term Care. In addition, the Branch Manager, Candice Borrero, advocated for my Mother to convince the Director of Patelco, Erin Mendez, to help my Mother as well. The online Customer Service Representatives at Patelco's website were also fantastic, Marciela C, Senior Representative Member Contact Center, Francisco C, e-Services Specialist, and Hefzi M, Senior Representative, Member Contact Center. In total, we tried to work with 5 different staff members to get this matter resolved, unsuccessfully. All staff were responsive, empathetic and did what they could to help my Mother. Unfortunately, Patelco no longer can make any exception due to UDAP (Unfair or Deceptive Acts Practices), even when the most random or unlikely errors happens beyond the member's control or when the member simply makes a one-time mistake; extremely costly too! While I praise Patelco for their commitment to compliance and being fair to everyone, it is regrettable to realize the newly adopted policy of No Exceptions has removed the humanity that Patelco once showed in the past and grew upon. Perhaps there are too many Members who have abused Patelco's past generosity? I believe my Mother's request for a one time exception was reasonable and Patelco's position to treat everyone with fairness and equality should be praised. Denying any exception, even when the "one time" mistake was unintentional or caused by a third party unilateral decision to stop Direct Deposits to the spouse of a Disabled Vietnam Veteran and disqualify the Spouse for the Bonus Interest, even when the Member made a "Conscious Effort" to have activity ($500.00 recurring deposit) on the account to still "try" to qualify for the Bonus Interest is a remarkable commitment by Patelco to follow UDAP compliance. Unfortunately, Patelco to Patelco account transfers do not qualify for Bonus Interest, even when the other account is funded by direct deposits and check deposits with a Trust Membership and Personal Membership. Apparently, it matters not to Patelco that both Memberships are basically the same entity/person. When Patelco had a Data Breech, I stayed with them because I was thankful the bank did not pay the Ransom, which further cemented the relationship of my Trust and Loyalty to them. We even declined to take part in the class action lawsuit "Cordell, et al. v Patelco" against Patelco as we felt they acted professionally and why would we sue the entity that was looking out for not just it's members, but was making no exceptions for Ransomware Attack? You must give the Director, Erin Mendez, a medal for having the courage to not pay bank Cyber Crooks who took down an entire bank institution. It also does seem unimaginable that such a large Institution was taken down without any help from inside Patelco, as an external attack would be next to impossible, even if the Black and White Hat Hackers joined forces and worked together on the outside. We are not chronic problematic members and are Committed Households with our Investments, RE Loan, and Credit Cards with Patelco. We will be leaving Patelco at the end of 2026 and while it is our choice to leave (hours of burden for us!), we feel compelled to do so knowing that Patelco no longer has your back, even when you make one honest mistake and Patelco will work tirelessly to deny you any remedy-especially over $750.00. It is almost as if Patelco is no longer a Non-Profit Organization committed to helping the Community? More's the pity dear Reader. PS: Patelco took away the Free Notary Service for Members for Non Patelco Documents. No more Free Notary Services for Trusts, Death Certificates and Legal Documents. Hopefully Patelco will make sure Veronica Dangerfield knows in her upcoming Patelco Video Podcasts, which have always been fantastic! *Five Stars was also chosen as the main selection of this review as we are simply stating what has happened without bringing the overall rating down because up to this point, after being with them for so many years, we were incredibly happy with them, which makes this review all the more upsetting for us and we wish them the best!

    Yesterday 4/23/2020 my 19 year old son purchased a 2001 Chevy Monte Carlo from Jason Rodkey owner…read moreof Key Motors. When he test drove car everything seemed great. Jason had car posted as being in great condition, well that was a lie. My son drove car from Sacramento to his house in Stockton. By the time he got to stockton the car was slipping gears so first thing today he first took to a shop and was told the Transmission in the car is no good. He then called Jason and let him know the car he sold him had a bad transmission. Jason told him sorry, too bad no warranty. So after reserching the law we found that any dealer selling a used car 40k or less is supposed to offer a two day 250 mile return for 75.00. This was not offered. Jason abviously knew the car had problems and chose to take a young college student for everything he had. When we called him this afternoon to explain the law that as a dealer he should know, he didn't care said it wasnt his problem. This guy would rip off his own grandma to make a buck. I feel sorry for anyone who buys from this guy! If your reading this please share to as much social media as possible in Sac. Area. We are now in the process of fileing a complaint with the BBB and the Automotive bureau. As soon as we are able we will also be fileing a lawsuit in small claims. Sad part is this review could have been a great one had Jason been a stand up guy and took the car back or offered to have his shop fix it. See you in court Jason!

However, after I came here, looked at the car I was interested in, and everything that followed after, the skepticism went away. Dennis and his father run, yes a small, but very great business! And thanks to them, I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 BMW 530i! They were quick at answering any questions I had. They gave me the history of the car I was looking at. They worked great with my bank that was financing it. They gave me a good deal. They were honest in everything with the car, and were also speedy when it came to getting registration to me. I'm definitely rating them 5 stars and if I ever need a car again in the future. I'm definitely coming to them first! I recommend them greatly!

I was told by the daughter that they would fix the issue but then all responses went dead. I was told that the code had been reset very recently and that it has a history of that code. A lot of codes came out and now I'm paying to see what the issue is. Still haven't heard from them this dealership. Please read all paperwork before signing. Father told me that I didn't need the insurance cause I had my own. But it was actually a paper to have a 48 hour warranty for a fee. I would of taken that. He told me to decline because I had insurance. That was my bad for not reading but these people do not seem to be honest people. I believe the reviewer that they sell lemon buy backs. Sucks but lesson learned.
