Complaint Review:
Pinellas Auto Brokers
BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!! I BOUGHT A CAR FROM PINELLAS AUTO BROKERS IN JANUARY 2011. AFTER HAVING A FEW PROBLEMS I NOTIFIED THE DEALER AND WHEN I WENT TO MAKE A PAYMENT THE MECHANIC TOLD ME TO JUST KEEP PUTTING FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER INTO IT AND IT WOULD STOP... WELL I TOOK THE CAR TO AN OUTSIDE MECHANIC AND WHEN THEY PUT THE CAR ON THE LIFT YOU COULD CLEARLY SEE ALL OF THE OIL SATURATION UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. APPARENTLY THE CAR IS LEAKING OIL FROM EVERY POSSIBLE AREA IT CAN BE AND THE OIL IS CAUSING CORROSION OF EVERYTHING IT IS LEAKING ONTO. THE SCREWS THAT HOLD EVERYTHING TOGETHER UNDERNEATH THE CAR THE WHEEL BEARINGS, AND CONTROL ARM ARE BRING AFFECTED BY ALL OF THIS. I CALLED PINELLAS AUTO BROKERS AND REQUESTED AN APPOINTMENT FOR THEM TO LOOK AT THE CAR THEY TOLD ME JUST BRING IT IN AND DROP IT OFF ANYTIME AFTER 2PM WHICH I FIND CONVIENENT BECAUSE I WORK 330-MIDNIGHT EVERY DAY. WHEN I ASKED HIM FOR A MORNING APPOINTMENT HE DECLINED TO GIVE ME ONE. HE SAID THAT THEY HAVE OTHER THINGS TO DO, SO I ASKED FOR A REFUND AND NATURALLY THEY DECLINED THAT AS WELL. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND AT ANYTIME THE TIRE CAN FALL OFF WHILE IM DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I ALSO LOOKED ON CARFAX AND THERE ARE 18 RECORDS FOUND ON THE CAR, I WILL BE PURCHASING THE REPORTS SHORTLY AND UPDATING THIS. I WONT BE SURPRISED IF I FIND OUT THAT THE CAR HAS BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. AFTER I GET THE OFFICIAL TEST DONE TO FIND OUT EXACTLY WHERE THE CAR IS LEAKING OIL FROM AND I GET THE CARFAX REPORT I WILL BE TAKING THIS DEALER TO COURT TO GET A REFUND. PLEASE IF YOU ARE READING THIS DO NOT GO TO THIS DEALER I DONT KNOW HOW THEY HAVE MANAGED TO STAY IN BUSINESS, BUT THEY NEED TO BE SHUT DOWN SO NO ONE ELSE HAS TO GO THROUGH THIS HASSLE. BY THE WAY THE SALESMAN THAT SOLD ME THE CAR REASSSURED ME MY MOM AND MY GRANDMOTHER THAT THIS WAS THE BEST CAR THEY HAD HOW RELIABLE IT WAS AND HOW I WOULD NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. WELL THEY LIED BUT IM NOT SURPRISED AT ALL. THEY PRAYED UPON MY PERSONAL SITUATION. I WAS HAVING A PROBLEM FINDING A DEALER THAT WOULD WORK WITH ME DUE TO THE FACT THAT I WAS ONLY A RESIDENT IN FLORIDA FOR A LITTLE OVER 60 DAYS AND MY JOB WAS JUST ABOUT THE SAME, THEY SAW THAT AND THOUGHT THEY COULD GET ONE OVER ON ME. THEY DID FOR RIGHT NOW BUT THAT WILL SOON CHANGE.
