My step brother goes to the same church in Buchanan with the owner of M-51 AUTO SALES, Jim…read moreManwarren. My step uncle is the pastor of the church. My step brother told me he only casually knows the owner, Jim Manwarren, but hasn't heard any negative about his reputation as a used car dealer. So, I figured if I have to buy a car from a used car dealer at least I know a lot of the same people as Jim Manwarren and maybe I will actually get a fair deal! I bought a Chevy Trailblazer from the owner Jim Manwarren in November, 2018. He told me it was a "good runner" and "AS FAR AS HE KNEW was in great shape !" Jim told me he had just had THE WHEEL BEARINGS (plural!) replaced on the front end by an area mechanic that I have also done business with for years. LITERALLY 10 minutes after I bought the car and drove it off the lot the CHECK ENGINE SOON light came on. Then I took it to Belle Tire for a front end alignment and they told me THE FRONT END BALL JOINTS WERE ALL BAD AND THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE! Belle Tire quoted me $800 - $1000 to fix the car!!! I went to a different mechanic, who I trust, and he told me basically the same thing, although quoted me a slightly lower price and said the driver side wheel bearing was completely shot and the passenger side could wait to be replaced a little while. This mechanic is also the same person who WORKED ON THE CAR I BOUGHT FROM JIM MANWARREN AT M-51 AUTO SALES ! This mechanic put new tie-rods on my car at the request of Jim at M-51 AUTO SALES prior to Jim putting the car for sale out on his sales lot. Jim also had the mechanic repair THE WHEEL BEARINGS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ONLY of the vehicle! NOBODY FIXES JUST ONE SIDE OF THE CARS' WHEEL BEARINGS! It's like putting new brake pads on, when you do one side you automatically do both! If on side is worn, so is the other. SAME FOR WHEEL BEARINGS! I called Jim 4 times and told him what was going on with the car he had just sold me. He basically blew smoke up my a$$ and I finally came right out and told him that I believe he knew about the expensive repairs the car needed and he hid this information from me just to make a sale. I asked him to help me cover the cost of the repairs just to make the car driveable. Jim Manwarren said he would call the mechanic who looked at the car and Jim promised to get back to me, that was 7 days ago and Jim has not gotten back to me. I guess I just got TOOK! I STRONGLY BELIEVE, IN MY OPINION, THAT JIM at M-51 AUTO SALES KNEW the ball joints were shot and would have to be replaced at additional cost (eating into his profit margin) so he told the mechanic NOT TO REPAIR THE WHEEL BEARING ON THE DRIVER SIDE! I have no proof of this, but when my/and Jims' mechanic looked at the car 3 days after I bought it from M-51 AUTO SALES he remembered working on it and within 30 seconds told me it needs new ball joints on both sides and wheel bearings on the drivers side. I needed a vehicle for work and I trusted Jim at M-51 AUTO SALES, and now it's going to cost me close to $1000 just to make it SAFE TO DRIVE! And this is for the repairs that I know it needs as of now! NEVER AGAIN!!!

The service department is truly terrible. I had by 2022 Ram TRX serviced hear through warranty…read more They replaced the front control arm and did an alignment via approved service through my extended warranty. It took them over a week to fix (it's a 3 hours job). The alignment was botched and the steering wheel was not straight when it was returned to me. When I called them back to correct the issue, the service advisor informed me I can certainly bring the truck back... but they intend to KEEP the truck until my previous bill was paid by my warranty company. Shocked, I called the warranty company to see what was going on. They told me the dealer would not accept their payment due to having to run it through through a credit card service (100% of 3rd party warranties do this with 0 problems at other dealers). Apparently, Tyler did not want to pay the 3% fee for the transaction. Why this was not added to the cost (to me) I will never know. But Tyler would not accept payment and told me they would KEEP my truck until I PAID the full bill (I had already paid the deductible upon completion of the service that day). I wrote to the Service Manager with this problem, hoping to find a solution that worked for everyone. No reply. I emailed the General Manager. No reply. I then emailed Scott Tyler directly to tell him how his customer was being treated, because if it was my business, I would certainly want to know. No reply. I told them all in my email that I was reaching out to correct the issue in order to not have to do what I am doing today, which is share negative feedback with all social media and RamCares. Since there was nothing after several weeks of trying, here we are. And my steering wheel is still crooked, which I will now have to pay someone else to fix. Horrible service, incompetent employees, management, AND ownership. Take your money elsewhere so you don't have the same experience.

I did agree to pay them for diagnosis. Next day the " front guy" of this country. Called and said it's a sensor fault ,not the glow plugs. After replacing the sensor he called and told me to take my truck to the dealer to have it fixed. When I picked up my truck the engine was running rough and loud. Check engine still on, oil pressure gage not working, Def sensor not working , cooling fan running at high speed at 40 degrees temp. The engine was so lout you couldn't talk and hear each other next to the car. They were telling me is normal. I went to auto zone for a free diagnosing and other codes popped out. Like a Christmas tree. Went back to tell Gery, the front man. He basically told me to Go F.. my self. After I drove away, 2 miles later my engine end up in a " limp mode" . Had yo tow my truck to the dealer. They found out a bunch of fried circuits. It's been a week yet and they are still working on it. I've seen comments of being honest and knowledge. Forget about it. They are ripping you off with the diagnosis and were is the knowledge?

We were told it was the engine and would cost thousands of dollars to repair. The car was there for a week while we, out of state parents, were deciding how to proceed. We decided to tow it back to Ohio and were hit with surprise storage fees that had not been disclosed (The car was towed there... So they may have a sign posted, but storage fees x4 days were never disclosed via written or verbal communication). Back in Ohio, we had the car checked out by a trusted mechanic (who we would've used to repair the engine if that had been his recommendation). It is not the engine. It was loose lug nuts on a tire. At best this is incompetence. At worst, they are criminally ripping people off.
