Automotive Horror Stories


This category includes anything to do with vehicles including dealerships, a particular make of a vehicle, repair shops, etc.  We have all dealt with shady car dealers, we want you to share your experience. Let us know what dealership (what city) tried or already did rip you off.  The idea of a new car often leads people to make quick and thoughtless decisions. The types of decisions that you may be regretting for many years!  


 

Hello,
I wanted to buy a new SUV (Murano) from West Hills Nissan in Pittsburgh. This first time we went there we considered buying their SUV. I did not want to be rushed so I said let me think about it for a day or two. West Hills Nissan in Pittsburgh claimed the monthly payment would  be around $400 before I left that day. I came back two days later, they started a new piece of paper claiming it would be easier to read if they redid it. West Hills Nissan recalculated the numbers stating they can't go below $600 per month. Big difference between $400 and $600. Then they lied by saying they never said $400. After they took the original paper out of the garbage to show the manager, they crossed out $400 and put $550. We laughed and left there never to do business with Nissan again. There favorite saying was "What can we do to get you in this truck today."  That was their best sales pitch. Acura was much more professional, thanks!

Experience:

If you live in Maryland or Virginia DO NOT GO TO A KOONS AUTOMOTIVE DEALERSHIP for your service work! I paid double for the labor than in the parts for my vehicle! If I knew how much it would have cost I would have let my car blow up and just go buy a new one! Labor is ridiculous! I do not recommend! if you plan on using them just save yourself 1,000.00 and do it yourself!
