Queens Auto Mall

Unfortunately the major problems started as soon as the warranty period expired to deem it a lemon . A manual was in the car with CD for navigation system when I viewed it .

When I collected it those were missing .During the warranty period there were several minor items to be resolved . The agents were quite nice during the processing of the sale , but after the sale they were very impersonal and repulsive when brought in for repairs . Buying the GMC Acadia Denali in the winter did not require I test the AC . After the winter the AC was going to be nonfunctional and not resolved with simple servicing .

After a year the leak still cannot be identified . The vehicle frequently reads theft detected and the anti theft device shuts it down. Five visits to the dealer has not resolved the problem. The running light had a missing bulb and it was only later I discovered that the hardware was burnt so a bulb cannot fit .

There are so many other issues.

I was advised by the mechanic to suffer a loss and get rid of it. I would not recommend this company to anyone !!!!

In short words in all CAPS THEY SOLD US A *** UP CAR. NOW HUSBAND IS IN JAIL FOR DAMAGING THEIR PROPERTY.

BECAUSE THEY LIED HAD US BRING BACK CAR WITH A ESTIMATE OF REPAIRS NEEDED. THEY DIDN'T WANT TO GIVE MECHANIC THAT INSTEAD SAID THEY WILL REPAIR. WE DID A RENTAL ONLY TO BE CALLED 2 DAYS IN SAYING PICKUP YOUR CAR. WE NOT FIXING IT TAKE THIS $500 WITH CONTRACT THAT YOU DON'T MAKE ANYMORE CLAIMS ON THIS VEHICLE.

LIKE HE SHOULDN'T HANDLE THEM IN THAT WAY PAPERWORK IS THE ONLY WAY TO HANDLE THESE ISSUES. CONSUMERS NEED TO WORKED TOGETHER GET A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THIS COMPANY I'M ALL FOR IT.DCA ALREADY WARNED THEM FOLKS GOT TO DO SOMETHING NON -VIOLENT SEE MY SITUATION. A MAN THAT BUILDS NEED A CAR TO PROVIDE FOR HIS FAMILY.

LOSING A JOB AND A CAR THAT NEVER WAS YOURS IN THE FIRST PLACE. PEOPLE DAILY LIVING DEPEND ON RELIABLE VEHICLES.

I purchased my car on June 1st, 2018. When i went in to buy the car, i asked what i thought were all the right questions: can i see the Carfax? tires? brakes etc. Was told everything was fine until (going to post a timeline for everyone):

June 1st 2018: purchased the car

July 13, 2018: on my way home from work, i tried to brake and the car started shaking. That's when i realized my brakes were bad

July 15, 2018: I drop off the car at Queens Auto Mall

July 16, 2018: I pick up the car and i'm told they put new (front) brakes in the car.

Mind you this is just 1 month and 16 days after purchasing the car. I was sold a vehicle with basically no brakes.

Fast forward to August 5th, i am driving to work, as i try to brake, the car starts making a screeching noise. It does it for another 3 more days so I call back on August 8 at 10:30am to try to get someone on the phone to check the brakes since i had brought the car in just 2 weeks prior to get my brakes checked. I called several times, left a message with the front desk manager and he never returned my call. After work, i take a drive over there and find him standing at the front. I tell him my brakes are acting up again, he takes the car for a test drive and tell me he can hear the noise and i should call their garage and make an appointment. At that point the garage was already closed. I called the following day:

August 9 to schedule my appointment

They tell me they're closest available appointment is on August 27th (2weeks from the time i first noticed the problem) . I waited as long as I could but the problem kept getting worst, so on:

August 21st: I called the dealership back to see if i could bring the car in earlier because at that point i was starting to feel unsafe driving it. The manager at the front desk insisted that i keep my appointment and there was nothing he could do for me. He instructed me to call the garage for any cancellations, at which point i did. The were no cancellations so i had to come in on the 27th.

I know you're probably wondering if the car was so bad and i felt unsafe, why didn't i just get it checked somewhere else? Well for one thing, i wanted to hold the dealership accountable for having sold me a bad car in the first place and i only had the car for 2 months, how in the world did i already have bad brakes. Fast forward to August 27th at 8:30 am.

August 27th: I go in to drop off the car. Speaking to the "shop manager" he tells me chances are the dealership will not cover these charges because not only is it passed my warranty but i've already driven 6k miles since i purchased the car. Like how? how does a person drive 6k in 2 1/2 months when all i do is got to work and back. But anyway that's for another day, I am getting my odometer checked and will be tracking the mileage on the car because it just doesn't add up. So i guess i'm telling you to keep a close eye on your odometer if purchasing a car from Queens Auto Mall.

So i'm standing there looking perplexed right. I tell the mechanic, i brought the car in on the 16th, you guys claimed you changed the brakes and put new brakes on the car. Why am i still having brake problems? He tells me they only checked my front brakes, it's my rear brakes that have a problem and my rotters. So in less than 3 months, both of my brakes went out????? and they are refusing to cover it. This guy has the absolute nerve to tell me the reason why my rear brakes are bad is because i didn't do any maintenance on the car. They had the car, they were supposed to check my brakes they didn't, now they want to put the blame on me. Then he tells me i've driven a lot of miles etc, 6k miles is enough to mess up my brakes. I've been counting the mileage i put on this car since this man told me and I can guarantee you, I have not driven 6k mile since June 1st but whatever.

2) I knew something was off when they gave me an appointment that was 2 weeks away . So in the span of those 2 weeks, they wanted to give the car enough time to acquire more mileage but it is what is. I proceed to tell him that I would be reaching out to Consumers Affairs to file a report. At which point he tells me he's going to get my car and give me my car back (as in they're not going to fix it since i guess as a consumer, i shouldn't have known my rights). He goes into the garage, gets in the car and drives it out and hands me the keys. Fine

I left the dealership around 8:40. At 9am on the dot i call consumers affair and file my report. At 11:45, as i'm filing another report with the Attorney General's Office, i am asked to enter the previous Work Order # from when they had the car on the 16. I realized i didn't have a work order # and I call the dealership to get a copy at which point i am told, they didn't provide work orders but the manager would have a conversation with the General Manager and they'll give me a call back.

I finally get a call back and this man asks me about the problem. I state everything i just said. He tells me they listen to what their shop manager tells them and it appears that they fixed the original problem when i brought it in last time and this is a new problem and they cannot cover it because i've already driven the car 6k miles. Again, i let him know that it is incorrect. He tries to scold me and tell me he doesn't know what i've been doing with the car but it appears as if my car is a TLC car. I repeat to this man that my vehicle has only been used mostly for work and home. As of August 27th, 2018, my car is not being used as a TLC vehicle. He gets agitated and he continues to press on the fact that i wore out my brakes because i've driven so many miles since i purchased the car (I promise to follow up on the mileage because my calculations tells me the number is entirely incorrect but again, another story for another day.)

Initially in the conversation i informed him that i had 2 different mechanics look at the car and they both came down to the same conclusion: "Your brakes are bad, you need new rotters etc." He tries to challenge me by insinuating that my comments were false and asked me if any of the mechanics provided me with a report (not sure why i would lie about something like that but okay). I tell him no but i can provide him with one if need be.

I have now gone to a 3rd mechanic (mind you this is all happening in 1 day and i have not been able to focus on my work,) to get that magical report. As expected, he tells me that my brakes are worn out and my rotters are bad. Also, it's unheard off that anyone would drive this many miles in 3 months and even if i did in fact drive 6k miles in 3 months there is no way that my brakes would already need changing since i recently purchased the car.

So in summary, my advice to you if you do decide to go forward with a purchase at Queens Auto Mall:

1) as soon as you drive off the lot, go to your friendly neighborhood mechanic and have them check the car from top to bottom. You don't want to find any problems near the end of your warranty because they're very sneaky and they'll give you an appointment that is so far out there that they'll never cover the cost of repair.

2) keep a record of everything, dates, names, numbers, reports, receipts etc. Take lots of pics of the car, take pictures of your odometer and definitely keep track of your mileage in the first 2months. You might need those one day.

3) Ask questions and make sure you get things in writing. I did ask about the brakes and i was told they had been recently changed yet in less than 3 months, i've had to change both front and rear brakes on my car.

4) If you do notice any problems with the car, if the engine light or in my case your tire pressure light even come on for 2 seconds, record it. Call the dealership, have it checked.

5) Finally what i can tell you is KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. I knew something was fishy when they scheduled my appointment for 2 weeks and the manager kept dodging me. I had the good sense to reach out for counsel before bringing the car in. I also had the good sense to see outside mechanics before going back to their garage (something i should have done since the 1st day i got the car but now you know).

A different mechanic is currently working on my car and I couldn't be more satisfied, i will wait for his report and find out everything else that's wrong with the car. As far as what appears to be a faulty odometer, let's wait and find out.

I guess in closing, i'd like to say look out for an Op-ed in your local newspaper about shoddy car dealerships in your neighborhood featuring yours truly: Queens Auto Mall.

They are the worst dealership I have ever been to! Price of the car advertised for a price and after I got approved!

They tried to make the price of the car $4000 higher, and when I noticed they wanted to charge me $1600 for doc fee which they don't tell you about till they run your credit and get you approved! I am fueling a complain with the dealer commissioner and with BBB

I came here to bought a car and when the sale got finilaize I ended up paying 8k more than the listed price. I still don't know what I was charge for on top of that they sold me a lemon I already spent 2k on repairs and now the cooling system needs repair as well.

I'm filing a complaint with 311 and you shouldn't for help.

Anyone looking to buy or got screwed visits https://queensautomallquctions.com for the full rundow on how to file complaints.

I don't even know where to start from. I was looking for an affordable car for my mother who is turning 50 this weekend.

I went to different dealerships but I was pleased with the service and of course the prices. I am above and beyond thankful with Mike (sales man) and Rudy (the manager). They really know the meaning of profesionalism. I didn't feel like were pushing me to buy something I didn't like.

They were very helpful and understanding. Thanks for all the help!

I even got a free pink bow. God bless all of you.

Ok. Where do I start I originally went into the Queens Auto Mall because my mother purchased a car there years ago.

I was looking to buy a good car. A Nissan Murano in fact. I called ahead of time and made an appointment ahead of time. I went in as soon as I got there I was given Marvin the sales man oh my gosh.

He was nice, but definitely looking out for his best interest. He brought me to look at serveral SUVs and some other cars. He took me to look at the shabby cars cause my credit was bad. It was getting dark so I could not see the ten thousands scratches and dents.

He said lets go inside and see what we can get u approved for so I said okay . I ended up getting approved for the worst car on the lot. The process was fast I paid the down payment I payed taxes and fees and even paid an insurance brokers. I got the car and drove off so the very next day I go out side and see how shabby everything looked and drove the car around the tires felt as if it was gonna fall off the radio stopped working the charging ports for my phone stopped working.

They called me countless times to tell me how the bank was trying to contact me about approving the loan. I told the bank I didn't like the car. They told me that they won't approve the loan until the dealer fixed the issues I am having. So I called Johnattan back to voice my concerns.

He told me to tell the bank everything is fine and he will see what he can do. But my hubby was very unhappy so we went in to talk. They didnot help they did nothing. They basically told us we were stuck with that piece of *** Rouge it was struggling to switch gears.

The car was a nightmare. So now two weeks has gone by and now I am in orientation for my new job and the dealership is calling to let me know I should come into the dealership because I have to resign papers but I was not going to sign anything until they did something about the condition of the car. So now they are listening to what I said the whole time. I returned the car and got my money back.

I also was given the run around and as I paying customer they let the ball go on this deal and I would not recommend my enemy to go there shame on u Issac , Johnattan, and Marvin. You guys are the donkeys of the decade in my book.

Got a car with already problems , they knew thats why they asked you if you want the extended warranty. I will not buy another car from them.

Brouhgt a toyota rav four and the struts and mounts were rusty air conditioner did not work i should call better bussniess buero on them screwed me big time

Advertised internet price on autotrader.com, then sales person called to pressure you to come in person. Won't allow you to test drive unless a final price is agreed upon.

The salesperson Malvin handed a different price sheet where the final asking price has a hidden fee $2000 above advertised price which is not disclosed on autotrader.com description (see attached). After we left, sales lady person Monique called to follow up. When I told her we will be looking at another car, she abruptly hung up on me.

This is a switch and bait tactic. Avoid at all cost or buy at your own risk.

they sell you an expensive vehicle overpriced needing repairs and at time of repairs give you a run around and you end up paying for repairs but I have the civil suit coming to them on top of that they scam you into buying warranty that doesn't even cover anything. very disrespectful after they close a deal but very pushy before you buy the vehicle needing repairs. Rudy is the main scammer and most disrespectful person in the aution so if you end up there for any reason dont negotiate with him or even try to fall for his ***

Please don't go here u will get scammed all those Indian guys r scammers don't trust those 2 girls also they lie about everything go to a better dealer to handle ur money

A bunch of scammers please listen to the reviews!!!
