I live in Indy. I worked with Joel via text. I explained what I needed for my trade, my monthly…read morepayment requirements and the apr I was approved for at another local dealer who couldnt get the same Atlas for another week. He confirmed he had approval for the deal with the manager and matched the terms. I drove an hour to see it three days later on our confirmed time, today July 27th at 10am. I thanked him for pinning it all down as I would have my kids with me and needed to sign and drive. When we got there, the 2026 new Atlas was not washed. I found two scratches. He said it would be detailed after I signed "if the deal worked out." I reminded him we had already worked the deal out. First red flag. He expected me to sign on the dotted line before seeing the Atlas clean. We went to his desk and he didnt remember anything about our agreed upon deal. I showed him our texts. He said he needed to run it through his manager. I reminded him he already did that. 15 minutes later, Ostin showed up with a much higher apr than what Joel said I was approved for. But he said his middle name was my first name so that was cool? Joel had given me confirmation for 5% on 72 months while Ostin showed me 8.74. I repeated that the terms were agreed upon before I drove up. Im not new to buying cars - he was padding the apr to make money. "It's only $16 more a month" he said. That amounts to $1500 over 72 months. I said I needed to stay at $400/month and the best they now said they could do was $478. While Ostin and Joel went to "check again" I called the lender and was told I qualified for 4.99. Which I already knew. I asked for my keys and said I wasnt moving forward. They argued with me in front of my kids and did the "is there anything we can do to make this work" routine. I reminded them we had already settled the terms and they had already ran my credit three days prior- 820 trans union credit score. Terms and pricing were agreed to on the trade and the purchase. Two more times I had to ask for my keys. They think if they hold the keys they've got you trapped. Dealerships everywhere need to stop this practice. It doesnt win you business playing psychological games. As I drove back to Indy, Joel texted me claiming I never mentioned my payment terms, the apr or that everything was settled and ready for me to pick up the Atlas. See attached texts. He tried to het me to come back and said he just "wants to move metal." Im getting another Atlas, minus the deceptive tactics of showing a dirty car to hide flaws and at the terms I knew I was already approved for. But I do hope this young man learns something from this. Honor matters. Your word - matters. Spoiler alert: they will respond with "we are so sorry we failed to meet your expectations" and lie about the situation.

I brought my car there a little over a month ago with an oil leak. I told him i was pretty sure it…read morewas a warped plastic oil pan but the guy assured me it was the oil level sensor. He assured me that lots of cars have plastic oil pans and it's nothing to worry about. So i pay him $700 to fix it. Turns out it didn't fix my leak, was leaking just as badly. So i brought it back to him, and what do you know? Hes explaining to me on the phone that it's because the plastic oil pan was warped. He did seem to feel sorry and give me a good deal on replacing the oil pan, so i spent another 500. He tried to say that fixing one oil leak can cause another, but the oil was clearly leaking from the oil pan the first time i brought it in. I even have obvious photos of it from before I ever brought it to him the first time. I shouldn't have let him convince me it was the sensor. Could he be right? Maybe. But I think the evidence leans towards he made a mistake. Which is fine, mistakes happen. But he could at least admit it.
