They will screw you out of money. Safety in the cars is an issue and they`ll give you the run-around if something bad happens which is most likely seeing how they do business the cheap undignified way.

This place is absolutley horri...

This place is absolutley horrible. I am 18 and wanted to buy my first car. While driving the car home right after i bought it THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON. I called him the next day and he said he would get the part i needed. I called him every week for THREE WEEKS, each time he said "itll be in next monday." IT NEVER WAS! My car is STILL in his "shop" an the part STILL ISNT IN YET! i am a full ... view moretime student and work part time WITH NO CAR. I already paid $4000 for my car, and its been a month since i bought it. What is his problem? He was so nice in the beginning, and being the naive young girl i am, i trusted him. WORST MISTAKE EVER AND I WILL NEVER COME BACK HERE EVERR AGAIN. HE SHOULD BE BROUGHT TO COURT. My dad was hung up on when he tried to help me figure out what was happening, my whole family is furious. THANKS A LOT TED!

Anyone thinking about getting ...

Anyone thinking about getting a cat here DO NOT DO IT TRUST ME they last a few months that is it then they die . The cars are not even legal he should not sell any of them. Car dealers like this should be checked out by DOT the cars he is selling are not ready for the road and should be junked not sold . He buys them from a auction does not go through them brings them to his place put a price and sells them . The c... view morear lasted 2 months 3500.00 later then it had to be junked . 2 mechanics told us it is not worth fixing the car . It died on the highway at night. The first night she had it the breaks where terrible so we put brakes. Then the next day something else , then from there junk yard where it should of went in the first place. PEOPLE ANYONE READING THIS DO NOT BUY FROM THIS PLACE HE IS A RIP OFF BIG TIME TRUST ME AND i AM NOT SAYING THIS LIGHTLY PLEASE LISTEN TO ME DON`T BUY FROM THIS GUY. He should be investigated I bet if half the cars in his lot where inspected by DOT they would shut him down. Not legal for the road. I had to give a star rating to post this message I wish I could give him a 0 star

"Buyer Beware" is right! This...

"Buyer Beware" is right! This guy is bad news! No respect for people or their hard earned money...just wants to make a sale. I brought my daughter there to buy her first car (she had saved the money herself). She saw a yellow VW Bug there and that`s what she had wanted, so we went in to talk to him. She didn`t have her license yet, but wanted to buy the car before someone else bought it....I had a bad f... view moreeeling after talking to him (my instincts told me not to trust him), BUT she really wanted it, so I asked him if we could make payments on it until she got her license - he said NO, we don`t do that here, you have to just pay the whole thing. He made it sound like we were getting a great deal, although I knew otherwise, but there was no talking her out of it and it was her money....so she bought it. It wasn`t going to be registered yet, so he seemed nice enough to drive it over so we could park it for a month. That`s when I really saw all that was wrong with it - it had many broken things - the sunglasses holder was hanging down (they had taped it to stay, but it fell down), he only had one key for it and first told us he would order a new one, then later on changed his story and said we had to pay for it AND pick it up in West Hartford., The drivers seat adjustable latch to move the seat forward and backward was broken off (which he said would be fixed and brought it over broke anyway!), the switch for the rear hatch door was not working, on the drivers side the heating vent knob to adjust the heat was missing, the gas cap door does not shut right (lock). I went there kind of angry about the fact that he sold the car that way, and he told me not to worry, he stands behind his cars for a month (but would`nt put it in writing). He said he would fix those things when the car got registered. WELL...she got her license and I called him to tell him to go ahead and register the car. We were going to drive the car there to have him fix those things and the car would not start...turns out it needed a new battery) .Doesn`t this guy check these vehicles BEFORE he sells them to someone??? HERE IS WHERE THE REAL NIGHTMARE BEGINS....Finally after 3 days he comes to get the car, says it will be ready soon....IT TOOK 3 WEEKS TO GET HER CAR BACK (mind you it was ALREADY PAID FOR), it should have been worked on first before any other vehicle. Every few days I would call and got the same excuse...you`ll have the car soon....at the auction, too busy, mechanic not there...blah, blah, blah...it`s like he had "stolen out car!). Finally on a Monday morning I called him and asked one more time "is the car ready?" He yelled at me and said don`t worry it will be ready Wednesday, you don`t need to call here constantly and actually HUNG UP ON ME! That is what you will get if you dare buy a car from him or go there to get your car fixed...nasty, mean and shifty person. What kind of person can rip off a young innocent girl, who is trusting and doesn`t know any better????? We are still waiting for a new windshield wiper bottle, sunglasses holder...he never even fixed the other things! And the car was filthy when we got it as well! He couldn`t even clean it?? Wow, some way to run a "reputable" business! Now there is a problem with the brakes, and I cringe at the thought of going back there! Maybe that is what he counts on? I have read so many BAD reviews, especially on FB, God I wish I had seen them BEFORE we ever went there! My advice is... PEOPLE STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This page made me give it a rating...but it doesn`t deserve a rating...it sucks.

I love the car I got there, bu...

I love the car I got there, but during our one first month something was wrong with my brakes. So we brought it back and when we came one WEEK later (way too long for what it needed done) they had it out for a "test drive". First off we told them exactly when we would be there and were a little late which is rude and irresponsible. When they finally brought my car back (ten minutes after we had arrived) the... view morere were two men in my car. One was holding a box of parts and SMOKING with all my windows CLOSED. The owner was standing right in front saw everything and did nothing about it. At all. In fact completely ignored our complaining. So not only were they STEALING my gas, but they were SMOKING in the car. Completely unprofessional. I am completely appalled at this behavior. Not to mention this is the SECOND time I have picked my car up from them with no gas. The first time was when I needed to go back to get it registered. It had a full tank when we brought it, but had less than a quarter when we got it back. The second time it was less full only 20 dollars worth but I could see that they were using it for errands. My advice? NEVER go to them. They obviously are completely unprofessional.

Buyer Beware

This &quot;dealership&quot; if you can even call it that is by far the WORST place I have ever dealt with. If you buy a car here you WILL get scammed. I bought a car from him and it was done with the repairs 3 days late.The car was filthy even though he said he detailed it. Then on top of that i have a mechanic look at it and the repairs he calimed to have done NEVER were! When i went back to confront him an... view mored ask for my money back he called me names and called the police. The police said that they are used to these calls and get them often because he is constantly ripping people off. Please think twice before trusting him to sell you a safe reliable car.
