VERY BAD EXPERIENCE! I just co...

VERY BAD EXPERIENCE! I just contacted the business bureau. I bought a car 9 months ago; last week my engine started to knock, I made it check by several mechanics. They all came to the same conclusion that the engine is full of sludge/gel which has been building into the engine for a very long period of time. I always took good care of my car and kept all the receipt of my oil change (all done by mechanics) at the ri... view moreght mileage, the mechanics told me such thick oil sludge cannot build up in only 9 months especially if I properly take care of my car. I found out that my car as been sold in that condition and Auto Alternatives must have known about it as they have their own mechanic inspecting the car before selling it. I went to Auto Alternatives to talk about my situation with a friend of mine and a trusted mechanic. The owner of Auto Alternatives and the car dealer first start cursing at my friend who was telling them they didn?ˆ™t sell a good car and that they knew about it. The owner of Auto Alternative cursed at her, calling her F***** B****, while my friend was very civil to them. I was very chocked. My trusted mechanic then came visit to explain them how a oil sludge build up in an engine, explaining how I could not be the person who did this to the car and that the car has been sold in that condition. They said they didn?ˆ™t care and that they would not help me fixing my car. They are very rude, and they sold a car which blows up after 8 months due to a pre-existing condition! Auto Alternative definitely took advantage of me. Waiting to hear from the Business Bureau now.

Started Good - Turned Bad

After talking with Tim, made plans to go buy on Saturday morning to test drive. Supposed to open at 11AM....no one showed up until 11:30AM. No biggie. Drove car and liked it but had to leave. Called back and over the course of a few days negotiated a price that included some work. Called back and left msg with his son asking for a call. Called and got no answer. Sent a text msg asking for a call. Finally g... view moreo up with him and that is when it fell apart. He told me he was to busy to get the parts....to busy to take the car there.....the shop was backed up....and then he said he did not want to sell the car to me at that price. Yep he backed out of a negotiated deal. I was not happy and felt this was dishonest. Do not recommend.
