Automax Sales Training @ Toyota of Lewisville
March 28, 2008
Some car dealers use them to screen and train salesman.The techniques used are deceptive, both in the hiring, training and sales techniques. They tell you come to class $400 wk pay plus commissions. After all day in class she announces that we the employees pay for the training.I will never buy a vehicle at a dealership that uses these con techniques to sell cars. read full review »

Want to get ripped off? then buy your next car from Daewoo Richmond. this is the biggest ripp off car dealer in richmond. We purchased a car from them about two months ago, and after driving about 500 kilometers the car started to have major problems.

They would not even talk to us once they had our money and refused the warranty even though they guaranteed for three months. Daewoo Richmond... read full review »

So I fill out an auto loan application online, as my family is now growing out of our vehicles. I get a call from none other than Mike Riddle Mitsubishi.

I purchased a 2002 Ford Taurus 8 months ago and I was financed by Drive Financial and insured by Nationwide which was all set up by the dealer at the car lot where I purchased the car, Car Traders of Chipley Florida. The A/C never did work quite right, to make a long story short, the cars airconditioner compressor caught on fire and burned the compressor up and some belts. Due to the fact the car was still operable at that time we were instructed by the Marianna Police Dept. and the Marianna Fire Dept. (in which both were present) to remove... read full review »

2004 Trophy Boat
March 27, 2008
We've experienced too many problems with a brand new 21' 2004 Trophy boat purchased in Nov 2003. Replaced gauges when it was only 2 years old and the entire steering mechanism when it was less than 4 years old. Very dissatisfied with the quality of the boat. We've written to the company explaining our dissatisfaction and they have not responded. If we wanted this many problems we would have purchased a used boat! This boat has definitely fallen short of our expectations. read full review »

Econo Car Rentals
March 26, 2008
I rented a car from Econo Car Jersey City Summit Avenue branch. They told me that if the vehicle was driven to VA state, they would limit the mileage by 1000. I told them I didn't want any mileage or state restrictions. So I paid $10 more per day. The total amount was $ 339.95. (approximately $394 including tax). When I returned the car, they charged me an extra $897 because of the mileage. Even though I didn't authorize them to charge the card, they charged this amount although I didn't have any mileage restrictions. read full review »

March 26, 2008
My local toyota dealer in NJ is offering a free $500 gas coupon if you test drive a new car. Besides the bullying to get you to buy a car, they will practically throw the coupon in your face once you test drive a car but don't buy one. The rebate program is "almost" a scam. You are required to buy $100 in gas every month, mail in the receipts, and then you receive a $25 gas card that month. That means you need to be using $125 in gas per month. For the $500 gas rebate that would mean that I have to submit monthly gas receipts for... read full review »

The first time i used the company-it was a nightmare. It took over 3 weeks to get the repairs completed. Finally they paid what they were suppose to. On March 21, 2008 I took my car to the Ford Dealer Service Department, figured would move a little faster. I received a call from the Ford Dealer that the Company is in receivership. I would have to pay for the repairs myself and they would reimburse me down the road. They could not give a date as to when i would receive payment. Agape sold me the contract for Ultimate Warranties. They are just as much at fault. read full review »

I first e-mailed this guy and asked if the wheels I wanted could be delivered to me by a certain time (NOT just shipped by that time), as it was important, even if I had to go with another company and pay more for shipping. He assured me he could, so I paid immediately. Well of course, the day they were supposed to be there, they weren't, and I had taken off work to receive them.
