My ex husband called around to have my car key reprogrammed to my car. He called chrysler on Friday spoke to one of the service people. He explained he already had someone put a new PCM chip into the car and now only needed the key to be reprogrammed. He asked them how much it would be to have a key reprogrammed to a car? They answered $20.00 to $30.00. How long would it take to do? 2 to 3 minutes. Do we need to bring the car there? no. Tuesday, I, his ex-wife, went to the dealer with the key. I told the man at the front desk my ex... read full review »

I have a new 2006 Toyota Corolla. It "clicks" and jerks when shifting from Park to Reverse or Drive to Reverse. The shifter sticks at times when shifting and the car sways when driving. I have had the car to Sierra Toyota in Lancaster five times with no success. Because I am a woman they don't take me seriously. The same is true with the Toyota Corporation. Actually, I get lies from my case worker at Toyota Corp. It seems to me that Toyota's reputation is going downhill fast from my experiences and that of others. read full review »

I received my initial service to my vehicle on Nov. 27, 2005. An anti freeze leak turned into a head gasket replacement that lasted 9 days. My car has bucked since this repair and it still does. I have since had everything from belts to a catalitic converter replacement. The car still bucks at 75. Since it is above the speed limit they are not responsible. This service department has lied in order to get away with an error that they caused. My car has never been the same and it never will. DON'T GET SERVICE AT BREWSTER SUBARU! read full review »

I would like to bring to everybody's notice that i had a small accident when a auto rickshaw banged into my Honda CRV (suv) about a month ago, nothing happened to the auto but the whole front end of the CRV feel off, luckily my insurer Tata AIG went in for a cash-less transaction and approved the repairs with Linkway Honda based in Chandivali(after it was refused by Auto Hangar in Kurla). After that my nightmare began. First i was told the spare parts were not available at all and i had to wait indefinitely.Then after a few days when... read full review »

On August 10 2006 I went into the store for the second time after already having a horrible experience and tried to purchase a vehicle since my credit is not the best I thought they may be the only ones who could help and I thought that maybe things would go differently. I was wrong!!! I am a single mother with a 3 year old daughter and 4 1/2 months pregnant. I was looking for an affordable family car good on gas. What they tried to sell me was a used Ford Taurus with a lot of miles... I drove the car for one week while waiting for insurance... read full review »

I am writing this letter to bring to your attention a very unpleasant situation created by the employees of Certified Tire & Service in the El Cajon store. On 07/07/2006 at 8:00 AM I had an appointment for oil change at the store located on 790 N Johnson, in El Cajon. Although I was in the store at 8:00 AM, the store manager, who gave his name as John, did not generate the work papers until 8:15 AM. There were no other customers in the store at that moment. After I gave him the car key I asked him how long will it take for the... read full review »

I visited BrakeO on Cobb Pkwy on 9/22/05 for advice on why my brakes were squeeking. I had just had all four brake pads replaced. The BrakeO representative advised I replace my back pads with a higher grade and that would stop the sound I was hearing. My brakes are still squeeking. I paid 262.00 and some change for the work done. I was told my hardware and back pads were replaced. I have been back three times since my first visit and my issue is still not resolved. Now my steering wheel shakes and my brakes are still squeeking. My last visit... read full review »

6 months ago we purchased a $185K RV that had 10K miles on it and it has never worked well! It has some sort of electrical short inside - we have had the coach fill with Sulfer from the bad batteries - (which they replaced TWICE)-we have been miserable camping in AZ when the A/C failed to work, we have had the radio randomly go on, the frig running on LP - but alarm showing low curent -- it is a disaster. La Mesa has been friendly thru-out all of the repairs even replacing the inverter and bringing an outside party in to repair - now that we... read full review »

When you pay as much as $40,000 for the Toyota Avalon you would expect the radio to be equipped to just register your SIRIUS membership. You have to pay an additional $650 for additional equipment of which we were not told about.The Service manager did not even know about this. read full review »

I ordered two AutoCool solar powered fans for my car via the website autocooltv.com. Even though I opted-out for the shipping cost of the "free" cup holder caddy, they were shipped. The total charge for shipping was $7.95 for each unit. Making the order a total of $45.88 for two $14.95 products. The company is not refunding the shipping so by the time I return the units for a refund I will have spent at least $20 just to find out that if there are any truth in advertising laws they don't seem to apply to this product which lowered the temp in the car maybe two degrees.

I recently went to the San Francisco airport Alamo. After waiting in-line for over a half-hour, the paperwork was completed and my wife and I went into the parking lot to get our car. They kept us stending in the parking lot for over 30 minutes, and it appeared that they did not have a car that matched our paperwork. When we loudly complained, the manager became aggressive and threatened us, saying that if we continued to complain that they would call the Police! When the Alamo city manager arrived, they sided with the rude... read full review »

Payless offers a lower cost service online for car rentals. However, once you arrive at the desk to pick-up your car they use a series of bait and switch type behaviors to add a series of add-ons. It is high pressure sales and in my case an outright lie to add additional insurance coverage and a misrepresentation of the total cost. I attempted to find the manager once I checked with my insurance company on the coverage I had for a rental. When I was at the car return the manager was inside, when I went inside the manager was at the car... read full review »

Our 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee air conditioning evaporator developed a leak. After getting estimates from several repair shops we found out that this has been an on going problem in Jeeps and that there hasn't been a recall for this problem from the manufacturer. This repair is very expensive to repair. We paid the Jeep dealership in Merritt Island, Florida over $750.00 to get this fixed. This dealerhip also told us that a recall should have been issued for this defect but never was. Does anyone know of any recourse we might have to recoup all or at least some of these expenses. read full review »

A remote starter was to be installed and for four days we sat and waited never to hear from them again. I called several times and was told I'll call you back and each time I had to call back. This was promised as a sales tactic and after the deal was made we didn't hear from them again.

When they did finally pick up the car, they kept it all day and never returned the car until I got in from work and had to... read full review »

My husband and I were shopping for a new vehicle on Saturday July 1, 06 and had a salesperson ask us for our credit card to "seal the deal". We had NEVER heard of such a thing and left shortly after to go purchase our vehicle at O'Brien Toyota. We were VERY satisfied with our salesperson there and were NEVER asked to give our credit card to them. Do you know if asking for a credit card is a practice that we were not aware of? If so, what use is it? There was only one reason to take our card that we could think of and it wa... read full review »

I bought a car at Renault Germiston in March 2006. The car instalment was R999 with a deposit of 10 %. When I approached the dealer I was told that I need to put in a deposit of R16 000 to qualify for the R999 monthly instalment. I then put it a deposit of R16 000. A pre-paid motor service for the car was issued to me which was valid for the period of 2 years or 45 000 KM. To my surprise, at the end of the month, an amount of R1450 was deducted from my account. I approached the dealer with this matter and I was told that it will be... read full review »

I took my car in to be repaired fro a “steering wheel lock malfunction”. 6 weeks later they could not correct the problem. I found out that they charged me $600 for rewiring that the Saab dealership did not even do. Evidently they hired an outside person to do it, without consent. All of the paperwork stated that the dealership rewired the car. They could not correct the problem and refused to repair my car. My car was in horrible condition when it was returned to me, inside and out. I had profanity written on the dist of my car... read full review »

On 23 March 2006, I purchased two Avon tires from ABE Cycles that Abe indicated were new tires. As it turns out, it seems that Abe has a very large supply of tires that appear to have been stored in the dank and dark for an unknown amount of time and are not as new as Abe would like you to believe. The tires were cleaned up and actually looked acceptable at the time of purchase and I was not aware of the true condition of the tires. Within 30 days, dry-rot had sat in and within 60 days the front tire was as in bad condition as the tire it... read full review »
