John Crump Mazda Mitsubishi ripoff, liars and cheaters fraudulent ripoff business This 40 year old auto dealer not only rips their customers off but mistreats their employees as well. Jasper Alabama
As a past employee, I can tell you this 40 year old auto dealer not only rips their customers off but mistreats their employees as well.
To begin with they have their used autos marked at about 40% over purchase and they'll rip it off in you with a new car purchase, by deceiving and hiding a humongous balloon payment at the end.
When you should have it paid off you find you still owe as much as you supposedly purchased it for.
Also they have these so called tent sales, what they do is hire these sales companies from different parts of the country,around 6-12 person teams to close and help sale.
That's when the regular sales employee gets screwed.
Come Monday or Tuesday after the sale they figure out they don't have enough made to cover hiring the other sales team,so they start cutting their emplyees deals to pay the hired sales team.
I just left last week and I believe the better business bureau needs to step in.
They also make you work 60-70 hrs a week for a $300 a week paycheck before taxes, then on the tenth of every month you are required to pay that back out of your commisions. That doesn't sound like minimum wage at all to me. During the tent sales you generally have to put in 60-70 hrs in just 4b days!

Not a thing wrong with JohnCrump Mazda, says the BIG Bs (BBB). Not one complaint in three years! Wow! Great place, according to them.
Stick with the little bs; badbusinessbureau.com. You will reach your desired goals much faster! Rip-OffReport.com has guys that do great work on car dealerships. I will let them address the specifics on your report if they so desire. They know what they are talking about!
Part of your report sounds like a labor issue; address that with the appropriate entity in your state (commonly called the Labor Board).
Just wanted to warn you NOT to hold your breath waiting for the BBB. They will waste your time. You could become a little blue, in more ways than one!
