Found a vehicle there we were interested in. It was used so, of course, there were some issues. My husband took it back after the test drive. Before he could ask about any of our concerns, they said they had other interested buyers and to make a decision. So he got papers written up for it and went to contact our credit union for financing. Before we went any further with money, I contacted them about a whining when you turned the wheel. I was told they had "topped off" the transmission fluid. I questioned that asking wouldn't it be power steering fluid that needed attention? Sherry went to the back. She returned in just a minute or two and confirmed that "everything was taken care of." I felt like my concerns were being dismissed. I questioned the fact that the entertainment package didn't play DVDs. Seemed like a pretty significant issue concerning that upgrade. I was told the price already reflected all my concerns and that there was nothing else they would do about it. Again, I was informed that there were other potential buyers. We never even discussed the other broken parts: a power mirror, trim, etc. In spite of my irritation at the lack of concern/pressure to buy, the market is very barren right now. We decided to bite the bullet and get it anyway. To shorten the story, we had to reconnect with our banking institution again. When we tried to clarify with Winnie's about their taking a check or need for a cashier's check, we were informed they already sold the car to someone else even though we had paperwork started and they were aware we were working with our credit union. This all took place in less than 36 hours. I find this to be very unprofessional and even unethical. I felt pressured and believe there were unaddressed mechanical issues that are now someone else's problems. I will never look at a vehicle there again. I will not only NOT recommend them, I will speak up about avoiding there should someone mention they're looking for a vehicle.

These guys are crooked as they come, may as well buy private. Got a passable price on the vehicle I purchased only to have a half dozen warning lights come on and several mechanical issues arise immediately within a month of purchase. Shoddy repair jobs and lack of a desire to work with me after I brought up the issues politely. Snake oil salesman stay away 😁

Update: The check engine light that I inquired about BEFORE the sale and was told is an EGR valve is actually a cracked manifold that comes with an “at cost” price of $680 for the part. This isn’t including labor. I’ve now had the vehicle roughly 7 weeks and it has been in the shop for 4 of those weeks. It was actually recommended that I toss a grenade into the vehicle and walk away. Yes the vehicle is clean but it is NOT mechanically sound. MIND YOU, I walked in as a single mother with my toddler in tow and they “in good conscience” not only sold this vehicle to me... but was more concerned with making a buck than the safety of my child and “in good conscience” let the vehicle leave the lot. Emphasis on the “in good conscience” because those were THEIR words. “We couldn’t sell you this car in good conscience if there were major repairs. That just wouldn’t be right.” After careful thought and consideration, while the sales experience was nice, I think that there were some promises made that weren’t kept. While the price of the vehicle was reduced, there was far more wrong than initially disclosed. While one of seven or eight issues were repaired, the brake light and the horn (actually considered safety items) were not looked at as stated they would be. At the end of the day, I love the make and model of this vehicle but I do not love this specific vehicle.
