Superior Auto Exchange Reviews (%countItem)

Great company to do business with. Fast, easy and the best value.

Told we were good to go with the deposit, payment and all would be ready when we arrive. Get there and nothing was final, doen payment was required, payment was hundreds higher than told, car needed repairs and best part deposit was not refundable. Coerced to secure car since '5 others are looking to buy this car today'. Talked to 3 people, none had any answers or took any responsibility. Walked out and I will never do business with such a crooked group.

1st off the truck we wanted was available when we called but it magically was not when we arrived not even an hour later after arriving so they show us a more exspensive truck which was out of our budget but we liked so we proceeded. It ran great and we left with it the same day. We went to start it for the 2nd time and we couldnt get it out of park! The check engine light also came on! Long story short we finally got it to our mechanic and there was a long list of pricey issues! He said they must of cleared the check engine light right before you left with it because these issues didnt just appear! I called them back and expressed how upsetting it was spending $23,000 on a truck that had numerous issues and is going to cost us an additional $6,000-$7,000 to fix. We got a truck because we needed it asap due to needing to haul our tractor and trailer Tuesday. The lady I spoke with said id get a call back first thing Monday it is after 1pm and still havent heard from them.. I really wish I would of read the reviews before coming here because we are now stuck with a pricey issue! I wish theyd have the decency to atleast make it right but sadly based on seeing what others have experienced we dont expect that out of them!!

Hello,

We would like to apologize for the bad experience. If we had been given the chance to repair the issue before being taken to an outside shop, we would have been happy to assist with the repair. All vehicles are sold as-is and warranties are available at the time of purchase, but they were waived. We are still happy to offer a warranty at cost. Due to having the repair done before we were able to reach back out to you, we can't be held liable for what another garage charges or how they could possibly mislead into expensive repairs. We encourage all customers to inspect, test drive, and look over every vehicle prior to purchase.

Thanks,

iAuto

We attempted to reach out multiple times prior to getting it fixed and we got no response or they would say they would call us back and never did. We waited a week but had to get it fixed immediately as we needed to use our truck for work. We still have attempted to call again and are not getting a response or call back.

I called the business as they requested and also asked for them to give us our plate # as it has washed off from the rain and we do not feel safe driving our vehicle without a plate #. They said the manager was not available and would call me back. I never got a call back and I also got pulled over due to my plate # being washed off by a *** officer. I called again asking to please get back to me and still have not got a response to any of our concerns

I was getting ready to come up and purchase a vehicle from Superior Auto Exchange on Tuesday, 1/21/2020. I called them a couple hours before my appointment to make sure it was okay to take the vehicle to a mechanic. For some reason the vehicle was getting a tune up and I was unable to come test out the vehicle for a couple of days (until Thursday, 1/23/2020). They had asked if i'd like to hold the vehicle and I agreed. They informed me that they just needed a card number on file to do so. After doing so the representative, Orlando, informed me it was a $300 hold. I came up two days later and test drove the vehicle as well as took it to a mechanic. The mechanic informed me that the car was complete junk. I took the vehicle back and told them I no longer wanted the vehicle and that I wanted the $300 hold refunded. I was showed a document with my name PRINTED, stating that I understood that it was a non-refundable fee. I told the representative and the manager that I was not informed that it was non-refundable fee and that I wanted my money back. They refused. I then filed a charge back dispute with my credit card company. I have just received a statement from my bank stating that they are unable to honor my claim. a photo of the document regarding the $300 non-refundable fee was attached to the statement from my bank. This document contains two forged signatures. I NEVER signed this document.

Superior Auto Exchange Response • Mar 02, 2020

Hello,

I apologize that you were not happy with your experience. I can assure you that we as a whole would never forge a signature. It is our policy to get the signature on the deposit form at time of deposit or at the time of signing the test drive agreement. The $300 deposit is still available to be used as a credit towards the purchase of any vehicle without expiration.

Thanks,

I financed a 2008 GMC Sierra from iAuto (Triumph Cincinnati) on January 15th. In the price negotiation process I made aware to Jasmine (sales rep) about the service engine soon light, passenger airbag light, and that the breaks felt off. She said it's probably something minor because the vehicle undergoes a thorough inspection when iAuto takes posession. The price that they countered back with would include a warranty that iAuto would be paying for. I agreed on the new counter with warranty under the impression they would be fixing the issues addressed. Before leaving with the vehicle I verified where I needed to take the truck for repair. Since it was within the 30 day warranty they offered I wasn’t sure if I should bring it back to their service shop or follow what the warranty recommended and go to a certified GMC mechanic. After a couple days the certified mechanic contact me about roughly $1,900 in mechanical issues that the warranty wouldn’t cover. I took the truck back to iAuto where they said they would look at it. They kept it for 5 days and when I went to pick it up I was told they didn’t do anything to fix the issues. I asked about the inspection the vehicle goes through and Jesse (sales manager) admitted they knew about the mechanical issues. The only resolution was to take it to the recommend shop for a discount price but I would still have to pay for the repairs out of pocket. So basically I have an expensive driveway ornament I don't feel safe driving my family around in.

Hello,

While the repairs at our pricing may not be of interest, I am happy to contact the warranty company on your behalf to get as many items covered as possible.

I tried to have Superior Auto exchange make the repairs in their shop and they refused because it would cause more damage. Also taking the truck to a certified mechanic for repairs but it was still going to cost me out of my pocket. Since it's been 2 months since this was submitted I had to pay for the repairs myself since this vehicle is used as a daily driver for work and family. If you want to reimburse me for the parts since I had to repair the issues myself I would be willing to supply the receipts.

Shopping here is the usual new/used car buying experience. However do NOT buy a used car with any issues whatsoever and expect them to fix them. They wrote in the contract that they'd fix the driver side window of my car, had my car for 4 working days and 2 off days. And when I went to pick my car up they told me a heat shield was loose and they added two screws. Not only did they not even look at my window, they told me it worked fine and when I showed one of the salesmen it wouldnt even budge, he told me all they could do was estimate the repair for me. It seems like a small issue until you wake up for work the next morning and your window has been down all night long and its been raining. I spent hours detailing my vehicle after I bought it and they even complimented my work. And when I dropped the vehicle off for the repairs I was told I was getting, my leather seats (which I had done some work to as well) were even more torn up than when I bought the car. I also was sold a $2,000 extended warranty so dont buy into their warranty. It just adds to the bill and with the money you'd save you could just hire a shop to do the work yourself (plus they cant even do the repairs it has to be taken somewhere else), some cars it may be worth it (higher end cars) but for most just tell them you dont want it. At this point I don't even want them to touch the car because I know it'll do even more harm than good.

This business scammed us into a $2995.00 warranty during the time of sale acting as if it was required for the purchase of their vehicle. One day into having the vehicle I had to put it in the shop spending over $1500.00 in repairs the warranty would not cover anything stating I didnt have the vehicle for 30 days. Got my vehicle back for 5 days and had to put it back into the shop spending over $5000.00 and had to fight the warranty company for two months (all while the shop kept my vehicle) saying the problems were pre existing and that the warranty was automatically voided because their was a lift kit on the truck. I had no clue the vehicle was even lifted, called the dealership and they did not know it was lifted either and tried to bribe me into taking my bad review down in return of upping my warranty package to the next level... 4 Months later I had to have a complete motor rebuild on my vehicle not using the warranty when my vehicle supposedly passed a vehicle inspection when the dealership first received it. I have over $10,000.00 in fixing my vehicle on top of my monthly payments or still having to pay off for this vehicle. The dealership stated to me that I could drop the $2995.00 warranty at any time that it was a $200.00 fee to do so. I tried to drop the warranty and they are now saying I can not do so that the vehicle has to be a total loss or a repo... They will not return or answer my phone calls to even do so, I spoke with the general manager and he stated that it has to do with the financial department and he was busy at the time I asked for him to call me back and he has not. I am not the only person this company has scammed with this supposed warranty they sell their google reviews now show they have done it numerous times and they sell faulty vehicles. I hope that they are stopped and the future people do not get stuck in a situation like I have. I would like to have them personally send me a refund for the $2995.00 warranty that I am paying for and cannot use...

Superior Auto Exchange Response • Feb 04, 2020

After reviewing this complaint, the claim about the warranty being voided due to the lift kit was remedied between the warranty company and our dealership as soon as the issue came to light. Since that time, the warranty company has paid out on multiple warranty claims. As a result, any cancellation of the warranty would not result in any refund due to the claims amounts and proration of the warranty contract. If the customer has any questions, she is more than welcome to contact me here at the dealership.Thanks,Tyler GSuperior Auto Exchange DBA iAuto3251 Highland AveCincinnati, OH 45213Phone

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
I have not used my warranty on "multiple claims", I have all the paperwork and receipts for the vehicle and the dates it was in the shop"s". The warranty would not pay out for the first shops quote that was sent to them because I only had the truck for 2 days, they stated that I had to wait 30 days and put over 1,000 miles on the vehicle so I paid out of my pocket for the first repairs of $1,274.00 on March 4th, 2019. The warranty was ONLY used one time at the second shop and I/Shop Manager had to fight to get them to pay out around $700/800 with a $250 deductible included in the $700/800 of $3,370.08, they may say it was multiple claims but it was not, I dropped my truck off at the shop on March 14,2019 and did not get it back until May 24,2019 BECAUSE going back and forth arguing with the warranty company to pay out when my truck was done and just sitting in their parking lot for me to pick up. Their accusations of multiple claims was probable because the second shop had to send them multiple quotes... Tyler was the actual man that told me while sitting in his office signing the paperwork that the warranty could be dropped at any time if I chose to do so. The matter on the lift kit getting resolved was a joke, Tyler called me and told me that they would put $1,000 towards my warranty to bump it up to the "next level" which was the lift kit warranty with the bribery that I remove my one star google review and for my fiance to remove his review also... This place is such a sleazy scam office and they have done this to multiple people and something needs to be done about it. I have tried MULTIPLE times to call Tyler to resolve this matter and it has resulted in me contacting the Revdex.com because every time I called I either got "He's not in today"(which was a lot of days), Or "He's busy with a customer, I'll have him call you back" and NEVER got a call back. I have called and left messages and also tried to text him (we have communicated during the sale of the truck through text) and never got a text back...

Customer Response • Feb 05, 2020

This is the original warranty that I signed in office with Tyler along with the second shops receipts, I noticed on my warranty that I SHOULD only have a $100.00 deductible and was CHARGED $250 from *** Tire's sales receipt for the warranty, I was never told that my deductible was raised by $150... I have paperwork from the first shop (***) the truck was in, but this response will only let me submit 4 attachments at once. No warranty was used at the first shop it was all out of my pocket I can send a separate attachment if need be. Any paperwork on what the warranty had paid out was between the *** tire shop and MVP warranty the only proof that I have is that I was charged the wrong amount for the deductible. IF need be I can go to *** tire and ask if I can have proof of what was paid out to them, No amount was paid directly to me I was just given an amount over the phone with speaking to MVP warranty and the shop manager on how much they would cover Which was around about $700-800. .

Customer Response • Mar 04, 2020

Attached are the warranty pamphlet that I received that shows me what is covered for my truck and I re sent the warranty paperwork that I signed in Tyler's office. There is no so called paperwork on what Tyler is stating that they took care of the matter over the "lift kit" on my truck that was spoken over the phone between MVP, Tyler and I.

Superior Auto Exchange Response • Mar 23, 2020

Hello,We are happy to assist with any future repairs you may need by working with the warranty company or by offering our reduced pricing with any repair facility where we have a working relationship. I have also included verification of the lift kit coverage being added along with the paid claims on the vehicle.Thanks,Tyler

Customer Response • Mar 24, 2020

I do not agree to what Tyler is saying, he sent in 2 photos that he took of a computer screen. Who's to say he went in that day and made the changes on my warranty, I did not sign off on any changes on my warranty and I never received any paperwork when it was said it was done. My warranty I have signed documents of and also stating my deductible is $100 and they charged me $250. I do not trust his company and I do not want his company ever touching my truck, they stated my truck was serviced before buying it and it was not. I had the oil changed and it had old oil in it a few days after buying it. I paod out of pocket to have the whole motor rebuilt their is no need for any future services on my truck. The warranty is also a lie they only paid out once that cheaper $500 payout was a quote because they kept arguing with the maintenance shop, they only paid out the $600 one, I am friends with the shop I took my truck to and they were only paid once, after a 2 month go around trying to get them to pay... I just want my money dropped off my lease for the warranty, I'm not asking for any money to be returned to me, just drop it off my lease and I will be done... This company is a joke and they know what they did I'm not the only person they screwed over I'm just the only one to do something about it...

Superior Auto Exchange Response • Mar 25, 2020

Hello,

We have no reason to fabricate documentation. You are more than welcome to contact the warranty company to verify when the additional coverage and claims we’re placed. I understand you would like to cancel your warranty, but after claims and proration, the refund would be nil. If you prefer to have the warranty removed and understand you will be forfeiting coverage and receiving little to no refund, we can explore that option.

Thanks,

Tyler

I do not accept the businesses offer, the warranty has only paid out once and from the beginning it was a fight, I have been asking for months for this redund and I will not accept any prorated offerings. This process has been drug out so long that their is no warranty to return now and that was done on purpose so this company would not have to pay. They do this to multiple people and it's not right... I want the $2,999.00 dropped off of my lease, as I stated from the beginning I was conned into this warranty and they played it off like I HAD to buy it... I thought I was only buying a truck that cost a little over $10,000 and wound up with a $16,000 lease for a truck that is so old it's not worth $16,000. All I want is this $2,999.00 dropped off so I can pay this truck off and be done with it.

Customer Response • Mar 30, 2020

I do not have documentation because the warranty company paid straight to the mechanic shop, I did not receive any receipts as to what they paid just word of mouth from the mechanic. With the Covi-19 going on the mechanic shop is currently closed.

I was tricked into buying the car after being offered a 6 month warranty that they assured would cover the potential oil leak I spotted or any other engine problem. The warranty covered nothing. The $9.2k car needed over 4k in immediately necessary repairs so the car would be road worthy and safe to drive. It needed engine repair (2k), all new tires (1k), new shocks and lots of other basic stuff (1k+). Other issues continue to come up as well. My mechanic told me this car shouldn't have been sold like this and wouldn't have passed a routine car inspection. Clearly, the dealer didn't perform an inspection before selling, since the tires were "dangerous" to drive on, yet the dealer let me drive an hour home anyway. I tried to call the dealer several times and talked to people, including the salesperson who sold me the car, but they all tried to get me off the phone saying the manager would call back. They never did. I even filed a complaint with the attorney generals office and they didn't respond to that either. I'm not sure how this dealer can legally get away with this type of fraudulent/negligent behavior. In addition, somehow they got 20+ 5-star reviews in one day (two days ago), which would be nothing short of a miracle.

Superior Auto Exchange Response • Apr 13, 2020

While I apologize for any miscommunication that may have occurred, all documentation was provided about warranty terms and coverage. With the coverage being expired, I am unable to contact the company on your behalf, but would like to extend our cost on any future repairs or maintenance on your vehicle. Thanks,T

Fwd: Response to Revdex.com complaint against Superior Auto ExchangeInboxxCincinnati Revdex.com (sent by [email protected])Attachments7:40 AM (55 minutes ago)to meI received a response from my complaint (ID ***) against Superior Auto Exchange. The first response seemed to completely deflect responsibility and the second one appears to say that they will cover costs of future repairs or issues. I do not feel comfortable trusting them unless I get something in writing. Several things have happened since then, so I prepared an excel document that lists all of the costs of the car up to this point. I also have all of the receipts for all the completed work as well. I would send it directly to them, but I cannot find an email for them. I attached this document here. If possible, could you post it on my file and sent it to them? I want all the costs to be listed on here and for them to see them. It shows how much this car has cost me financially and helps to open up a dialogue for how to move forward. Vaguely agreeing to "cover future costs" is not enough for me to let this go. I would like more details and would like them in writing. I will not accept vague agreements or verbal agreements.Thank you for your assistance with this matter. I hope it can be resolved.

Superior Auto Exchange Response • Apr 16, 2020

Hello,

I apologize for any confusion, the future repairs would be done by our shops at reduced rates for both parts and labor. They would still be your responsibility to cover the costs, but they would be at highly reduced prices. With this, you will be able to select any services being done to your vehicle.

Thanks,

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

I reject this offer for several reasons. 1) I was told by Jesse Oaks that the warranty would cover the oil leak problem I identified when I looked at the car. That statement was manipulative and misleading as he knew what the warranty would cover and wanted me to buy the car. 2) the costs of the oil leak problem involve three separate issues: valve cover replacement, oil filter housing replacement, and oil pan gasket replacement. All of these costs that were promised to be covered by the warranty were not covered at all and total above $4,000 for parts and labor. The car was unsafe to drive due to the cords showing on the tires, meaning the tires could fail at any time. The dealer let me drive an hour home on tires that could fail at any time. In addition, the car was in bad shape and needed lots of miscellaneous repairs and part replacement. Either the car was not inspected at all, or some inspection was done and they covered it up. 3) I tried to call the dealer several times and was given the run around without getting calls back as promised. 4) Since I bought the car at $9,200, the car has cost me over $6,000 just to bring it into acceptable working order and still requires $2,000 of work to fix the remaining oil leak. That means a total above $8,000 to bring a $9,200 dollar car into proper working order. That is completely unacceptable. 5) Based on all the dishonesty on part of the dealership, I do not feel comfortable bringing my car to one of their shops for any repair. The shape of the car when I bought it speaks volumes about the dealer and any of their shops. 6) Resolution should involve some kind of compensation, not a discount for a shop I don't feel safe taking my car to. I will not take my *** to a shop unless I trust it, as their are lots of scams. That being said, I might not really get any discount if I was to take my car to one of the dealerships shops. I currently have a shop that I trust and I won't take it anywhere else as their work is good and prices reasonable. I feel this offer is not really helping me in any way and is meant to just make me stop pursuing options to get these issues resolved. Lastly, considering what has happened to me with this dealership, how could I trust them again after the first time cost me $6,000 already and will cost an additional $2,000 once I have the money to get the last oil leak fixed.

Superior Auto Exchange Response • Apr 20, 2020

Hello,

While we apologize for your bad experience, after reviewing your complaint we want to remind you of the vehicle being sold "As Is" with the signed forms to confirm that. In addition, the complaint was placed after the warranty had expired and we were unable to act as a liaison to the third party warranty company. We encourage every customer to inspect, test drive and thoroughly look over every vehicle prior to purchase. Each customer is given the opportunity to have an outside inspection to know what issues they may encounter with said vehicle. At this time, we are unable to provide any other resolution than a warranty at cost to provide financial assistance with future repairs.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

I made several attempts to call the dealership within one month of buying the car and talked to different people. All assured me that I would get a call back, which never happened. I gave up calling as it was a waste of my time since I was being ignored. This all happened while under warranty. In addition, your salesperson Jesse Oaks should not give false information or lie to prospective buyers if you want to have a good reputation. I was told the oil leak would be covered by him twice and I have a witness to confirm. You failed to respond to my calls and deleted my honest review on google, then added 20 suspicious ones in one day with all five star reviews.. I honestly don’t know how you are allowed to do this to people legally. You now respond after time has passed and I paid for most of the repairs. That was a calculated decision.

Thank you for all the help. This is the most the dealer has conversed with me and I think they revealed some of their business practices. I would like to note a few other small details. They told me I was getting a *** warranty, didn't file the warranty paperwork until after 30 days from purchase, didn't send the title until a month after purchase, and until now haven't responded or talked to me about these issues.

I was not able to attach the documents you requested as it says it is too large to upload. I tried twice already. I am going to try to find the last email that was sent to me and reply with the attachments. If there is a better way to send them please let me know. I scanned the documents and saved them as PDF documents.

On 9/5/19 I purchased a vehicle from Superior Auto Exchange, salesman Jesse *** and finance guy Tyler ***. I live in *** so it's about a 2 hr drive. We agreed concerning a purchase price of $13,600. The dealership switched the paperwork at the signing process where they had charged me for $5000 worth of *** warranty contract, GAP insurance and a *** security system. When I tried to call the dealership back to resolve they would not come to the phone. The salesman always cam up with an excuse, out to lunch etc. Over the course of 3 days I called 12 times and no one ever called me back. I drove 2 hrs to the dealership and they were very confrontational and denied any wrong doing. I was within 30 days so I could cancel all of these contracts. After a 2 hour battle with the salesman, he finally marked an "X" on the paperwork of each contract and signed his name and said all would be credited back to the financing institution ***. No credit was received after weeks of waiting I contacted all 3 contract companies myself, they sent the money to the dealership but the credit would have to come thru Superior. I have waited over a month and still no credit. All 3 contract companies have emailed Superior copying myself and still no response. While at the dealership the salesman Jesse eventually blamed it all on the finance guy stating that I could shut their whole business down for what they did to me...RED FLAG! Their google reviews are terrible and they currently have a -B rating with you, however I didn't know that until after the purchase. This business moved a few miles away to a very busy corner street where they no doubt will swindle other consumers. Please help me prevent this from happening to another individual. I can be reached at any time for additional details if needed

Superior Auto Exchange Response • Feb 05, 2020

The complaint by Ms. *** was resolved by refunding the total cost of all products purchased back to the financial institution. We apologize for any delay, as we had to wait for the refund checks from the product providers. As far as allegations of paperwork being switched, that couldn't be further from the truth. All pages were signed by Ms. and copies were provided to her at the time of purchase. We strive for transparency and continue to make that our goal every day. Thanks,Tyler

On August 2nd 2019, I purchased a 2010 Ford *** from Superior Auto Exchange. During the purchase we found a few issues with the vehicle. Knowing it was a 2010 with 99,000 miles I didn't expect it to be perfect. We took it on a test drive and noted that it was loud but road well. When we returned from the test drive I mentioned to the sales person that It was a little louder than I expected like exhaust and he said it was "probably because of the V-8 engine" I have been around vehicles for a while and we came there in a 2015 *** so I am aware of how a V-8 sounds. I was concerned but honestly had not been around a FORD V-8 in a while so I thought he could be right. We also noted a clicking sound in the dash area. He told me it was an actuator and that it would be a $20 part to replace so they would take $100.00 off the sales price to handle this. It was also missing a fender piece that he told me they were waiting on paint to finish with and we could either bring it back down or he could mail us the piece so that we could fix it. I was a little hesitant however I liked the vehicle and I was tired from shopping all day, and he assured us they they check over the vehicle for safety concerns and problems so "they can be upfront with their customers" so we agreed to move forward as long as the oil gets changed and they send us the piece that was needed to repair the fender. The sales consultant took a picture of the paint code and set up a oil change at the local Monro break and tire, for us to go to right after signing the paperwork.

During the paperwork process, I asked for an extended warranty. As I am a *** with an *** dealership and I am failure with the importance of having the vehicle covered. I expressed to him I wanted as much coverage as possible. I asked if there was an exclusionary policy, that would cover most of the vehicle except wear and tear items such as break pads, light bulbs, ect. He told me that he did have that kind of policy and he would sell it too me at his cost of $1700.00. I asked what it didn't cover and he said mostly just wear and tear items as I requested. I bought the policy. We drove the car home and parked it. Over night the rear tires lost air. We noticed at that time that one of the rear wheels was actually bent.

On August 7th I had the vehicle checked out because the noise that I was concerned about was still bothering me so I wanted to confirm what he said about it just being a V-8. The shop told us there was indeed a leak in the exhaust manifold that would need to be repaired. I texted the sales person to let him know what was found that that it WAS NOT covered by this warranty. Also the actuator that was a 20 dollar part was actually going to cost us 350 or more depending on the location. The repair shop said it could be up to $1500.00 if they have to remove the dash. I expressed my dissatisfaction with very little response from the sales person.

On September 25th, 2019 I texted said sales person and asked him for the replacement part for the trim. He said he would check into it. On September 30th, 2019 he texted to tell me that the part would have to be reordered, and that I would need to send him the paint code. I told him I would when I got home. I was unable to do it then. And we took the Ford to get all of the repairs done at our trusted mechanic. On 10/16/2019 I texted the paint code to the sales person. I Also informed him of all the repairs that were needed on this vehicle.(outlined below) he still has not answered me back. SO it is now 11/5/2019 and I do not have the piece to fix my fender PLUS everything list below:
The exhaust Manifold was CRACKED!!! We also had to replace the front breaks do to malfunction. It had 3 different kinds of tires on it. The front 2 matched but the back two were different from the front and different from each other. They all required different pressures AND the back 2 had leaks in them which is why they would not hold air over night. So we also had to replace the rear tires. We had put less than 500 miles on a car we paid "a fair price" for just to have to turn around and put $2500 into. AND WARRANTY DID NOT COVER ONE DIME OF IT. We STILL have to replace the actuator. It refused to click while the mechanic had it so we have to take it back. We also have spent time taking it too and from our trusted mechanic. I can pay $1800 and get a warranty that would have covered a few of those things reducing my cost of ownership, the problem is it wouldn't have passed inspection. I am not sure how they even sold me a warranty with out inspecting this vehicle. And telling me its "safe" with bad mismatched tires and break issues is a misrepresentation of the facts. While I get that I "signed an as is" The vehicle was misrepresented at time of purchase and promised items were not complete.

We are happy to order the new piece that was promised. When a promised item is older than 30 days it gets returned back to the place it was ordered. I have spoken with the service *** and we should have the part in within the week and get that painted as soon as possible. We will mail the part out as soon as it is finished. Please contact us with any other issues with the warranty company, and I will be happy to call them on your behalf.Thanks,Tyler GSuperior Auto Exchange3251 Highland AveCincinnati, OH 45213

I was told the title to the vehicle I purchased would be mailed to me within 7 days after my check cleared .
This vehicle was purchased for resale as the salesman fully understood !
After nearly 3 weeks of run a rounds I was greeted with a conversation that was the MOST ruddiest I ever had with a sales person in over 30 years .

We were in the market to purchase a used vehicle for our son. During the visit to see the car, salesperson verbally shared that the car had a minor issue with the exhaust (told it needed a patch). We purchased the car and upon having it checked by our local dealership, the estimated expense for repairs included a new exhaust and, possibly, a catalytic converter that totaled nearly what we paid for the car. Not even 72 hours went by when we called the dealership to share the various necessary repairs and asked for an even exchange for a new vehicle. Dealership offered us one third of what we paid 72 hours earlier! Shame on us for buying the car "as is." Unfortunately, this dealership showed no desire to "do the right thing" by way of the customer. I could not get returned phone calls, was given passive responses and treated with disregard. The salespeople and manager talked a good game and were well-scripted to deflect any issues. We ended up having the car checked by yet another trusted mechanic who diagnosed the need for a new transmission; in his words "it's criminal that they put your son in this car." Many lessons learned.

We are happy to offer a trade in value on the 2007 *** or extend our reduced service rates for any repairs now or in the future. In addition, there are many warranty options available at our cost. Thanks,Tyler

On Monday, August 12th, 2019 I drove from my home in Muskegon, MI to Superior Auto Exchange to look at and potentially purchase a 2006 *** truck VIN: *** that they advertised on their website as a very clean vehicle with low mileage and a clean *** report. I called my salesman Danny a couple of times during the drive down to make sure the vehicle was still available and ready to show and sell. I was told by him that he would have his technician double check the condition of the truck for me. I was told by Danny that they his technician inspected the truck thoroughly, per my request, and there was no significant rust and the only issue was that the tires were only 35% tread remaining and that the brakes would need to be done in the next six months. When I arrived, Danny said he had to leave and that Tyler the sales manager would help me with the showing of the vehicle. I did check the vehicle over myself when I arrived, but, for the most part, I trusted their word about the condition of the truck, due to the confidence I had in the many positive reviews they have gotten on *** reviews. I had scrimped and saved for months to buy this truck and was confident that they were a reputable dealer that was worth driving 6 hours to do business with.

I agreed to purchase the vehicle for $11700, and signed the paperwork and headed for home. When I woke up the next morning to look into getting the wheels balanced and an alignment, thinking that the truck only needed some very minor repairs and maintenance, I was horrified to see a puddle of gear oil under the rear axle differential. That was when I discovered that the rear axle and driveshaft, and the entire rear end looked so rusted out and there are large chunks of metal falling off the entire undercarriage and that the entire rear axle will need to be replaced. I realized that I was very lucky that I didn’t break down on the way home from Cincinnati. The truck is not safe to drive in the condition I left their lot in. If the leaking differential had gone completely dry and seized on the highway, I could easily have been killed.

I attempted to contact them all day on August 13th, but their phones seemed to be out of order. In the mean time, I started making calls and getting quotes for parts and repair costs. I found that the rusty rear end is a very common problem with *** trucks, and that rusty rear axles are one of the main reasons that many go the the junkyard, because of a shortage of parts. The quotes to repair just the rear axel have ranged from $3000 to $5000 if I can find the parts.

When I finally got ahold of the sales manager, Tyler G, today, August 14th, I was told that the only thing they could do was to sell me an extended warranty to cover the repairs. I told him that since they misled me about the condition of the vehicle, and I didn’t have any money left, that I wanted them to either pay for the repairs or give me a full refund. He said that was out of the question and the only refund that they would consider was to buy the truck back for $7000, and the only other option would be to bring it back to Cincinnati to one of their associates shops where he could get me "their price" for the repair.

I have paid top dollar for a truck that can’t be driven, after less than 400 miles home to Muskegon, MI, and Superior Auto Exchange is unwilling to help me resolve this in a reasonable way.

While we strive to make sure every vehicle is in tip top condition before the sale, there are times when items fail during the first few days of ownership that are unable to predict. We are happy to offer a warranty at cost to all of our customers to provide peace of mind. This offer is still extended even though one of the forms of payment was cancelled the next day after purchasing the vehicle. Thanks,TylerSuperior Auto Exchange DBA iAuto

Revdex.com:

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

I drove 790 miles round trip from my home in west *** to Superior Auto Exchange to consider the purchase of a 2006 *** truck that they advertised on their website as a very clean vehicle with low mileage and a clean *** report. I called my salesman Danny a couple of times during the 4 hour drive down to make sure the vehicle was still available and ready to show and sell. I asked for, and it was assured by Danny that he would have his technician thoroughly check the condition of the truck for me. I was told by Danny that his technician inspected the truck thoroughly, per my request, and there was no significant rust and the only issue was that the tires were only 35% tread remaining and that the brakes would need to be done in the next six months. When I arrived, Danny said he had to leave and that Tyler would help me with the showing of the vehicle. I did check the vehicle over myself when I arrived, and because of a back injury, was not able to crawl around under it. Instead, I trusted their word about the condition of the truck, due to the confidence I had in the many positive reviews they have gotten on *** reviews. I had scrimped and saved for months to buy this truck and was confident that they were a reputable dealer that was worth driving 6 hours to do business with.I agreed to purchase the vehicle for 12,000, and signed the paperwork and headed for home. When I woke up the next morning to look into getting the wheels balanced and an alignment, thinking that the truck only needed some very minor repairs and maintenance, I was horrified to see a puddle of gear oil under the rear axle differential. That was when I discovered that the rear axle and driveshaft, and the entire rear end looked so rusted out and there are large chunks of metal falling off the entire undercarriage and that the entire rear axle will need to be replaced. I realized that I was very lucky that I didn’t break down on the way home from Cincinnati. I believe the truck was not safe to drive in the condition I purchased it. I shudder to think what could have happened if the leaking differential had gone completely dry and seized on the highway, or the totally rotted out rear brake lines would have failed.I attempted to contact them all that day, the day after purchasing, but their phones seemed to be out of order. In the mean time, I started making calls and getting quotes for parts and repair costs. I found that the rusty rear end is a very common problem with *** trucks, and the main reason that many of them go the the junkyard is for that issue, because of a shortage of parts. The quotes to repair just the rear axel have ranged from 3000 to 5000, but finding the parts have been very difficult.When I finally got ahold of the sales manager, Tyler G, two days after the purchase, I was told that the only thing they could do was to sell me an extended warranty to cover the repairs. I told him that since they misled me about the condition of the vehicle, and I didn’t have any money left, that I wanted them to either pay for the repairs or give me a full refund. I told Tyler that I was willing to have the truck trailered back to resolve this. He said that was out of the question and the only refund that they would consider was to buy the truck back for 7000, and the only other option would be to bring it back to Cincinnati to one of their associates shops where he could get me "their price" for the repair.I have paid top dollar for a truck, that after driving less than 400 miles home, can’t be driven until thousands of dollars are spent to repair it, and their solution was to give them more money for a warranty that would NOT cover the repairs.

Hello,

I am happy to offer our pricing on repairs through any shop that we have an existing working relationship. Many of the shops we work with are nationwide repair facilities that will be able to assist you at any point in the future. Many of these shops work with the same warranty companies we have a relationship with as well.

Thanks,

I purchased a 2006 Infinity G35X from Superior Auto Exchange on 12/20/2017. They told me that my title would be mailed to me in a week or two. My title did not show up at my home after two weeks so I contacted them and they told me the holidays (Christmas and New Years) caused the title to be delayed and I should receive it on 1/15/2018. Again, my title still has not arrived so I contacted them at 1:30pm on 1/19/2018 and they said the lady that has the title has not performed the required tasks for filing the title nor has she mailed it.

Customer Response • Jan 26, 2018
