Complaint Review: pinellas auto brokers - st petersburg Florida

I've had the same problems with this car company! When i got the car it was fine, drove great! A week later it wouldn't start. They told me to tow it there and they will fix it. After 2 sweaty hours, angry infant and spoiled groceries the car was there. They said everything was fine and it was just a "fluke". Well i ended up changing the alternator, battery, still needs breaks and oil change. All the things they said they did before they sold me the car! They claim they changed the oil but it's dark black and gritty. Obviously not changed and has saw dust. The people who work there are one of a kind. Dj will loose all paperwork then try and convince you you're behind on payments! The blonde will tell you till she's blue in the face these cars are perfect. When they are not! I was 2 days late on my payment waiting for my check to be cleared and deposited in my account. They called me told me my car was in repossession after I've put 600 into the car! This is not a good place for cars

"We have proof the issuse with the car was rigged"

Tell us more about how the issue was 'rigged'. Tell us about the proof.

"had issuses as soon as I drove off there lot... just so u know my husband is a mechanic"

Did he notice there was a problem during the test-drive? Is he a good mechanic?

Why do you put a space before your commas and periods?

Does your contract specify the repairs that the dealership promised to make in writing? Does the contract say "AS IS"?  If it says AS IS, then you don't have a leg to stand on in court because the judge is going to go by the written contract.

I am a little surprised that your husband did not do a complete mechanical checkup on the vehicle before purchasing it. There is no excuse for a mechanic not checking out the car before he buys one. If he had done a comprehensive checkup, would you have bought the car? As a mechanic, he can't rely on any excuse of "not knowing the condition".

Just because you had the car towed back to the dealership prior to the next installment due doesn't mean you don't owe the rest of the money to your vehicle lender. There are really two issues here:  1) the car repairs and 2) the vehicle loan.

The condition of the car would have been obvious to your husband and you both if you and he had done your due diligence before buying the car.

As to the loan: the vehicle loan is not extinguished when you returned the car. It doesn't work that way. You extinguish the loan by paying it off. Since you didn't pay it off it is now a voluntary reposession. They can take you to court for a judgement and then come after you for the deficiency and collect on whatever judgement they get. This will make it very difficult for you to finance vehicles in the future. Hopefully you can straighten this out before it hits your credit report.

No, I don't work for this dealership or any other dealership.

just so u know my husband is a mechanic and he told them before we signed papers for ur info ! they agreed to fix it the following tuesday because they were currently closing the day i got the car . trust pinellas auto brokers will have NEW OWNERS !!!!!!

You say the car had troubles  the minute it left the lot. Well what did the mechanic say when you had it checked out  BEFORE you bought the car.
