? [redacted] Auto’s EtcLTD DBA Automax [redacted] Killeen, Texas ? Revdex.com Corporate Office La Posada Drive Austin, Tx Dear Revdex.com, After reviewing the complaint submitted on 3/21/2016, ID of [redacted] , we sincerely apologize that the email where the original complaint had been filed was misprintedWe have since received the complaint regarding [redacted] and we are working diligently to repair the relationship between our consumer and his family Addressing the complaint: The [redacted] family was interested in purchasing a Mitsubishi Outlander, at the time our facility had a special running for qualified buyersThe specials at the time had incentives and rebates offered through the manufacturer as well as dealer discountsHowever, in order to qualify for the incentives the consumer has to qualify under the rules and regulations of the lender who approves the transaction structureDue to the negative equity in the vehicle being traded in, some of the dealer discounts had to be forfeited in order for the consumer to receive the interest rate they receivedThis typically occurs in order for the consumer to retain equitable value in the vehicle being purchased and not forfeit value due to a negative tradeAlso, due to the lenders rules, regulation or practice when rebates are offered the lowest interest rate is not an option, so lenders give the consumer the option of receiving the rebate or the lowest possible interest rateWhich, in this particular case the consumer chose the lower interest rate The vehicle being traded was in fact in the name of the fatherDue to lender rules of practice a third party trade was not allowedThe information regarding the third party trade unfortunately was not relayed promptly because of the time the transaction was occurringThe lender had already closed for the day and a response regarding the vehicle was not received until the next business day Due to the scenario, an actual sales price could not be established immediately because the trade vehicle was not in the buyers name and establishing a firm number after qualified credit and rebates was not foreseeable due to the time of day and the lenders availability at that timeFurthermore, establishing a basis for monthly payment in this situation allows for our finance team to structure the loan properly to maximize the potential for approval at the lowest rateThus, seeking the best interest of the consumer The aftermarket item purchased for the new vehicle was subsequently installedHowever, in order for any items to be installed in a vehicle purchase, a member of our sales team has to verify the vehicle identification in order to prevent a wrongful installation of product Due to the high volume of vehicle loaner needs on that particular day our facility was initially unable to assist the [redacted] family with their needsSince the incident our facility has made adjustments so this does not occur again Sincerely, it is the mission of Automax to provide the best customer service to our customers at all timesOur team will work diligently to improve the relationship between the [redacted] family and our staff at Automax in Killeen, Texas [redacted] General Manager

Tell us why here...12/16/15To Whom It May Concern:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? In regards to the service visit with [redacted] and his Hyundai Santa Fe VIN : [redacted] brought his vehicle in late on the 23rd of November to leave overnight for “CAMPAIGN CODE 936”This campaign from Hyundai has been generated to resolve an oil leak that potentially can damage the alternatorThe morning of November 24th our certified Hyundai technician “ [redacted] was assigned this repair [redacted] went to get the vehicle and pull it in for the repair, when starting the vehicle it was noted that it was slightly hard to startHaving a vehicle with miles on it, being hard to start is not completely out of the ordinary.? The hard to start would be described as “vehicle turns over but does not start as quickly as it should” not “vehicle is slow to crank” [redacted] pulled the vehicle into the shop for the recall repair Upon performing the recall [redacted] did notice that the alternator had been replaced previously along with an attempt to repair the oil leak from the valve/head coverThere was an excessive amount of silicon (not oem) used on the valve/head cover rather than a gasket, which Hyundai uses for this type of repairWe didn’t search out items that had been repaired by others, only made note of things like missing and stripped out screws, the above mentioned silicon and a tab designed to line up the valve/head cover was missing (just obvious things).? Again seeing items like this is really not uncommon with a vehicle that has miles on itIt was very clear that someone had done repairs on this vehicle other than factory trained techniciansThere was also an aftermarket code reader hooked up to the diagnostic adaptor in the vehicleWe do not know the true nature of why this was hooked up to the vehicle and it really didn’t matter to us, as the repair we were doing would not require a scan tool to be hooked up [redacted] performed the recall which included the replacement of the valve/head cover gasket only, as the alternator had already been replaced and showed no current damage from oil leaking onto itThis repair was done before noon and was brought to my attention that there was an issue with this vehicle not starting.? I instructed [redacted] to determine the reason for the concern and I initiated a phone call to [redacted] to let him know what was going on and as the service manager I would be involved with the situation [redacted] is not only a certified technician with a resume of past management, but is of solid character [redacted] states “CHECKED ALL WIRE CONNECTORS, ALL HOOKED UP PROPERLYREMOVED PLUGS FOUND ALL CYLINDERS FULL OF FUEL AND PLUGS FOWLED OUTNO DTC'S PRESENT, CUSTOMER HAS CODE READER HOOKED UP TO CAR AND CODES MAY HAVE BEEN CLEAREDCAR HAS SPARK AND FUEL, BUT? COMPRESSION IS LOW AND IT WILL START ON OCCASION AND NOT? RUN FOR LONG AND THEN IS VERY HARD TO GET STARTED AGAIN “.I have approximately twenty eight years within service departments and have seen many things that occur purely out of coincidence and never is it at first glance believed to be coincidence Understanding this I am sympathetic with the situation and try to see if there is some assistance that may be offered to retain our customer and maintain good relationsI got in touch with our Hyundai representative and explained the situation to himBased on his recommendation we submitted a prior approval request for a out of warranty goodwillI spoke with [redacted] and explained where we were with the determination of what was going to need to be done based on ***’s findings.? The repair in the most economic route would be an engine replacement, and this was the requested repair solution submitted to HyundaiAn engine with miles on it that has little or no compression would cost more to rebuild than what an engine could be replaced for [redacted] later came to Automax and upon his arrival I escorted him to our shop where his vehicle was still in placeI had [redacted] there as well as the service advisor Kenneth McGill along with [redacted] and myself [redacted] explained his findings with [redacted] in detail and with transparency [redacted] had questions about the repair that were answered to his satisfactory [redacted] wanted to tow the vehicle out of the shop even though we had not yet received word back from Hyundai on their approval because he was going out of town and didn’t want to mess with it the next dayThe vehicle was towed out on the 24th of November late in the evening around 6p.mWe received feedback from Hyundai wanting to know about the potential of customer participation for this repair, as we usually ask for 100% it was obvious that Hyundai was not going to do 100% so we replied with asking for 50%We were momentarily excited to not have a flat out decline from Hyundai and that was short lived as they replied with a decline due to mileage limitationsI never avoided [redacted] or his calls as I gave him my personal cell phone to keep in touch with meI will say there was a message I received from [redacted] after these things had been explained to [redacted] ***n late one evening and I did not get back with her, it was not intentional by any means and I apologize for thatIn this case Automax performed a recall in accordance with guidelines provided by Hyundai and appears to me and my department to have nothing to do with the current repairs neededThere is obvious signs as listed above that there has been work done by someone other than professionals and a code reader in the vehicle to monitor vehicle issuesI do not assume that the [redacted] knew about the internal issue that was lurking within their engine, I claim that this wasn’t an overnight occurrence but rather something that had been going on for some time and coincidentally failed in our shopI as well as our staff have been transparent and even when slightly pushed to resolve this issue by assuming liability, I offered to perform a teardown inspection and diagnosis of the root cause for no compressionThe end result if caused by Automax would be taken care of by Automax, in the event that the root cause had nothing to do with the repairs performed by Automax the [redacted] would be responsible for the labor required for such diagnosisThis offer was not accepted
Ms [redacted] ,Mr [redacted] was provided a spare tire for the vehicle on the date of his purchase.? Mr [redacted] did not like the spare tire that was provided and said that it wasn’t the proper tire for the Infiniti Q50.? Automax called the Infiniti Dealership in Austin to confirm that the spare tire we provided to Mr [redacted] was an acceptable replacement spare tire.? The Infiniti Dealership in Austin confirmed that the spare tire was acceptable.? Mr [redacted] did not like the answer and made so much noise about the spare tire that Automax went ahead and ordered a spare tire at Automax’s Cost for $500.00.? Automax received that spare tire in through UPS yesterday 12-5-for which [redacted] the sales person tried to call Mr [redacted] to let him know that the new spare tire was here and he could come pick it up.? He could not get a hold of Mr [redacted] so he texted him.? I have attached those texted emails.Additionally, after the deal was done Mr [redacted] also wanted Automax to provide him with the an? Owner’s Manual and an extra key.? Mr [redacted] had purchased this Infiniti Qwhich is a pre-owned vehicle “As Is”.? There were no mention or promises for an Owner’s Manual or extra key.? Automax’s policy is if we promise a customer an Owner’s Manual or Extra Key that Automax must complete a “We Owe Form” which is completed and signed by the customer and management.? This policy has been in effect at Automax for years.? There were no “We Owe Forms” completed for this deal.Dealerships are in? the business to make money and there was no money made on this deal.? In fact this deal lost money because we were trying to satisfy the customer by purchasing another spare tire which cost’s Automax $500.? By trying to satisfy the customer (by purchasing another spare tire) Automax lost money on Mr [redacted] ’s car deal.Based on the above and through Automax’s efforts to satisfy the customer, and the customers attached response I feel this case should be closed in favor of Automax

To Whom it may Concern:I spoke with Cynthia *** about *** *** she was going to purchase on Jan 16, After the sales manager agreed to accept the vehicle back from Mrs***; she had a concern about the registration of the vehicle with the stateSince Mrs*** paid for the
vehicle by personal check, the office considers the vehicle to be “paid in full” and immediately files the taxes and registration with the stateThere is possible ways Mrs*** name can be removed from the titleThe first method requires the dealership to hire a lawyer and file a petition with the state to reverse the registration, taxes, and the title back to Automax’s nameThis can take several weeks to months for this to processDuring the processing period the title would still be in Mrs*** nameThe other method requires the customer to sign the title back over to Automax and we would take the title to the registration office and request the title be put back into Automax’s nameThis process takes about weeks from the time Automax receives the title from the customerThe registration office showed the title was mailed to Mrs*** on Feb 15, I spoke to Mrs*** on Feb 17, and explained the different processesShe agreed to sign the title back over to Automax as soon as she received itWe will send a pre-paid envelope to Mrs*** on Feb 20, for the return of the titleI agreed to keep in constant contact with Mrs*** on the process of the title; to include the date the title is taken to tax office and the date the title is finally reissued into Automax’s nameMrs*** was pleased with the process and was thankful for the communication. *** ***AsstController***
Complaint: ***
I am rejecting this response because:I don't quite understand this response to my complaint. You're acknowledging that the paperwork indicates this vehicle is AWD. It's not my paperwork, it's yours. So obviously the vehicle was in your system as AWD. It was advertised on *** as AWD. I can forward you the e-mail I received from *** showing it advertised as such.You can't advertise a vehicle with an option it doesn't have, because that's what the buyer thinks she's paying for and I wouldn't have paid as much otherwise. Granted if it had been something easily spotted as missing, a sunroof for example, I would have known. But I had no reason to doubt the truth in your advertising, and I wouldn't even know how to check for AWD. I only found out after trying to set up the other options that come along with it. Also there was no sticker on this car, and even if there was, I would have no reason to double check every option against your ad to look for something missing.Even though I paid more than I would have for this vehicle, as AWD is an expensive option, I'm not really seeking to get money back. I do feel a bit cheated as I have a lesser car than what I paid for, but still believe it was an honest mistake. And otherwise I am quite happy with the car. I was thinking of something along the lines of having an extended warranty applied to this vehicle. That would satisfy me for my overpayment, and would improve my opinion of your company which has gone far downhill owing to the lack of response I've received about this mistake thus far. I have not yet shared this negative opinion on consumer review sites, social media, etcas I'm waiting to see how things turn out. Thank you.Sincerely,
*** ***
