I have many horrible things to say about Bill Kay Chevrolet:
Lied about our trade in value. $3500 turned to $1000 because despite knowing that my previous vehicle was a stick shift when they did the estimate when it came time to crunch numbers, suddenly my car had dropped in value $2500 because they "didn't know it was a stick shift".
Lied about the online price. Flat out admitted to bait and switch- "we put those prices online to get people in the doors". Magically, when we went to purchase the car it was $1500 higher.
Sold us a car that JUST after we had owned it for a year- the car is a year and 1/2 old, the engine SEIZED.
Stuck us with a 9% APR rate, on a car that depreciates quickly- we tried to trade it in at another dealership and COULD NOT as the value of the car was 40% less (6K ) than what we owed on it (almost 10K) .
Sold us a completely impractical car for our needs- a chevy spark to someone with 2 small children and car seats. I cannot even fit a stroller in the thing. We asked about a larger USEd car and were told "no, this is what you are getting"
They refused to put my name on the loan, and when i called to make complaints, they basically said "we can't let people like you buy cars" IE- stay at home moms. Funny, Ford financing was able to use my credit rating and my spouses' income and give us an APR of 0%, but apparently the dealership that brags that they "own the credit company" couldn't? When i complained to the dealership, i was told "well, your payment is lower than most of the people who walk out of here". Telling.
As we were purchasing the car, they repeatedly tried to sell us crap that had nothing to do with the car- insurance for replacing an electronic key fob. When the car has manual locks. Insurance to cover the cost of the loan should the car be totaled, and when we said our policy covered that, our VERY GOOD insurance company was mocked.
Complaints have gotten "please email us" and the response is "your husband has to complain because we don't have your name on file"
I rue the day I didn't walk away from them.
