In the summer of 2005, my wife and I planned a trip to England, and booked a van rental for a couple of days through AutoReservation.com with Alamo car rentals, so that we could take friends of ours and our daughter and her boyfriend to the Isle of Wight. When we got to pick up the van in Brighton, they wanted to charge $1500.00 (refundable) on my credit card in advance of renting the van, claiming it was standard practice. I had rented vehicles in England before, and had never been hit with such an advance charge. Friends had even rented from... read full review »

I booked a minivan from Dollar on Travelocity. It was supposed to cost about $70/night. When I arrived at Newark airport to pick it up, the desk agent told me they would charge $55/day extra because I live in Brooklyn. I refused to pay it, telling her that I had booked it for much less. She said I had no choice in the matter, and I couldn't get the van without the extra fee. I left to try to find another alternative, but no other agencies had vans, and I needed to leave for my wedding that night, so I sucked it up and rented the... read full review »

I bought a new Chevy Colorado LS extended cab back in December 2005. After having it for 3 weeks and finally had time to look at the truck or to use the truck I could not get the tail gate to open. I called the dealership and they said to bring it in and I also told them my key punch outs were missing and my portfolio were also missing, and I still don't have my other key. I took the truck in and we play with the tail gate and inserted the new key and it opened and I thought it was fix. I try the tail gate later when I got home and it... read full review »

I purchased a 2003 Toyota Corolla from Atlantic Toyota in Amityville New York. In the three years that I have had the car the rubber window guard has been replaced twice because it becomes loose and comes down with the window. The first two times were covered under my warranty. The third time I was told by Atlantic Toyota that the last time it was replaced was one year and two months ago and if it was under one year they could have replaced it for free under the warranty but I was two months over the warranty. They said they would give me a... read full review »

I purchased a vehicle from them in March 06. This vehicle was used and did not have but one key for it, but I was promised that they would get me the other key, which they never did and I talked to my salesman who acted as if he never promised this (I should have gotten it in writing) so I still do not have a key for my husband to this day. This vehicle was also missing a tire jack which I did not know until a few weeks after I had it. Recently I refinanced this vehicle for a cheaper interest rate. The existing loan was paid in full by the new... read full review »

To make a long long story short as possible. I had an issue with my brakes so I had my car "diagnosed" at PEPBOYS (took over a week) whom originally quoted me a ridiculous amount of work totaling to over $700.00 PEPBOYS told me I needed back struts, new front brakes, pads, roders a master cylinder and a tie rod etc... I asked what was absolutely necessary and PEPOYS told me the front brakes, pads, roders, tire rod and master cylinder. Like a fool I had all that work done.

On sept 21, 2006 i drove my 1995 mazda millenia "the car" into duval mazda of gainesville for service. The car was running fine. The service was preventive maintenance & to check the cause of a "check engine light". The 1995 mazda has a proprietary computer system that can not be checked by any one besides the dealer.

Our beautiful 2001 Dodge Grand Caravan suffered a complete air conditioning system failure at 60,000 miles, then a transmission failure at 64,000 miles. I spent the $2700.00 to repair both, then drove it straight to the Toyota dealer to trade it on a Sienna. I have owned Mopars since the late '60's, and have always considered them cutting edge in design and performance, but the quality (sorry, Dr. Z) simply isn't there any longer. I cannot conceive of a situation in which I would purchase another Chrysler product, which i... read full review »

This is not really a complaint about any one person, but I really hate the gas prices. I know for a fact that the Big 4 Oil Companies in Canada are making huge profits regardless of the market price per barrel. Their profits stil increase every year, the reason is because we're all so dependant on it. Our pockets get more empty, but theirs get more full with $$$ I drive 2 hours a day, and the amount of money I spend in gas is more than I spend on food, water and hydro. Maybe with enough hassle, we'll finally get our break! It's worth a try. read full review »

We bought a used 2001 Chevrolet Suburban at Bankston that their written documents said was a "certified car" and, therefore, was not being bought "as-is," and further, we bought a warranty for about another $1,200. The Texas Safety Inspection sticker showed that Bankston had done the inspection three months before and that it had been drive less than 200 miles before title was transferred to us. We were to learn that the vehicle was out of oil, had one front parking light bulb burned out, the emergency brake did not... read full review »

I purchased a 2006 Chevy Impala because it came with the General Motors Fuel Price Protection Program which guarantees that I only pay $1.99 per gallon for gas for the next 12 months no matter how far I drive. GM funds this program through the use of a Debit Master Card. They read your milage each month based on Onstar and depending on when they read it, they are supposed to post money to your card on either the 15th or 30th of each month. This is the second month in a row that GM has not funded the card in a timely manner. Their customer... read full review »

This posting is to warn vehicle renters in Germany to be very thorough in inspecting their vehicle, because Budget will hold you liable for every thing if it was not fully documented as preexisting damage. We learned this the hard way with a Budget car rental at Stuttgart airport in May 2006. We are 100% positive the scrape around our rental car's right rear wheel well was preexisting, because we noticed it after less than 20 minutes of driving without bumping or brushing into anything. We believe Budget placed us at a significant... read full review »

Today I went to Indane Gas Agency for gas booking. But I was shocked to see that they were forcing consumers to buy a gas pipe which costs 170/-. I was not agreed to buy this pipe because I renewed my gas pipe only few weeks back. I have been very aware of these things such as gas cylinder and its accessories. Now agency officials are not ready to book my gas even in this festive season, when a person needs it most. When I tried to contact to the Sales Officer Mr. Swarn Singh, he doesn’t pick my phone. Even on land line number. Thanks and Regards, Vinay. read full review »

Earlier this year I returned a Jeraco truck cap to my local dealer, Just For Trucks of Malta, New York located near Sara toga Springs. The cap was returned because of a serious factory manufacturing defect. The dealer, Just For Trucks, gave me written assurance that the cap was being accepted for return to the factory for a "full refund." Instead, Just For Trucks gave me a credit less a 15% "restocking fee," a penalty of over $212 for my return defective and unusable merchandise. The "restocking fee" included not... read full review »

I Purchased a used Isuzu Rodeo from this dealer only to have it fail FOUR DAYS later. The radiator was cracked - you could then see that it had been sealed previously. We went back to the dealer only to have the owner say it was not his problem once we drove the car off his lot. He said "what do you expect with a used car" - I expect it to last longer than 4 days! They proceded to tell me they didn't care if it was 4 minutes - its not their problem. These people are clearly the typical slimy used car salesmen that every movie... read full review »

My husband brought our 2000 Maxima (85,000 mi) to Haldeman for a tune up prior to vacation. He asked them to check the automatic transmission because it sometimes banged into gear when shifting. The service department recommended replacing the valve assembly for $770 parts + $368 labor. My husband okayed the work. When we arrived to pick up the car on our vacation departure date, we were told that the problem wasn't fixed and that the transmission needed to be replaced. We could not take the car - it was still on the lift. We wound up... read full review »

You could not do anything to stop them and go on and complete your order. I finally hung up. I have no idea if the order went through or if I'm going to receive what I ordered.

The transmission problem was brought to the attention of Mr. Transmission during the 12 month/12,000 mile warranty period, at the scheduled service before the warranty expired, in August 2005. The rebuilt transmission had 9,032 miles on it and was beginning to fail. At 13,427 miles, and twenty months after the original $2,391.08 service the transmission suffered a catastrophic breakdown. The transmission, when cold, would not engage in reverse for several seconds, and then would slowly engage, and I would be able to drive the vehicle... read full review »

On 11/02/2005, I took my car to Price’s Auto Service to have the water pump replaced. When the car was brought in, Price’s showed us some bent intake valves from another engine. I was warned that the same thing could happen to my car, unless I had the timing chain serviced at the same time. I agreed to have the additional work done. When Price’s did the work, the timing chain was not tensioned properly. The engine lost timing when they tried to start it, bending the valves. This was the very damage that the service wa... read full review »
