Very unprofessional organization. Drove 2 hours one way, twice, to purchase a used 1999 Jeep wrangler. First off, I expect an older model used vehicle to have some issues. I was assured on the phone that the jeep was flawless, passed 150 point inspection, needed nothing. This was not the case. It had dents and damaged not mentioned on phone. I was told one salesman, Patrick, the top was old but prob needed replacing. the 2nd salesman, Charlie (whom I assume was taking over the deal????) said the top was in good shape.
Long story short, The jeep overheated twice during test drives.
The first trip I was told (by Patrick) they would fix it and they would deliver it to me the next day. He said they just changed the thermostat (After being told nothing was wrong with the Jeep) as preventative maintenance. Never heard of this. I was called the next day by (Charlie) and he told me that the jeep was fixed, they drove it all over Jax and left it running in the shop for over an hour and it didn't over heat. He said it was a bad thermostat again. I was told that they would meet my offer if I came to pick it up instead of delivering. I told them I wanted a leak checked that I discovered the first time, before I drove that far again. This pissed the Charlie off, but he did get it checked out and supposedly fixed. So, I agreed and drove 2 hours, again, to purchase the Jeep (bonehead move). On the second test drive the Jeep overheated again. Just before pulling back into the dealership, the temp gauge went back down. The salesman told me there was nothing wrong with it since the gauge went back down. I also discovered the heat did not work and the defrost did not blow out of top vent.
Charlie then told me they were not going to fix these issues, that the dealership was not going to put anymore money into it. This is after they offered me a 60 day warranty on the cooling system. I asked how can you warranty the cooling system if it does not work? Salesman could not answer and said nothing was wrong with it. Needless to say I immediately left and will never return.
I was tagged team by two salesman (yes, for a 99 Wrangler). Patrick was very professional. The Bozo to be worried about is Charlie Robledo. Do not deal with this D Bag. He cares nothing about customer satisfaction, and he repeatedly made smart comments and didn't like that I was thoroughly checking out what he called an "old Jeep". He thought this was ridiculous. No sir, thinking I'm driving a car off your lot that doesn't work like it is supposed to, brand new or used, is ridiculous!
