I purchased a 2000 blazer from Ace back in May of 2012, and I took the blazer to a repituable mechanic and had it overlooked, the blazers transfer case was bad, the differential was leaking, the air compressor wasnt working, (Mike put freeon in it saying its probably low because of the age of the vehicle) I did believe that, however, it was aa saturday when I purchase this vehicle. I called him Sunday left a message about the 4x4 not working, Monday I took the vehicle to the mechanic and thats when I got the list of things wrong with the vehicle.
Mike told me "Buyers Beware" I believe he scams people, I let him know within 24 hours what was wrong with the truck.
The truck didnt even come with a spare tire.
All I know is, I tell people not to buy from him. Illinois lawmakers need to shut places like his down.
He and his wife are shadey people.
Please, watch out for them.

I like how you tell me don't respond to your reply and to call you. I did call you and you told me "buyer beware". Is that your version of helping. The warranty would not cover anything and it has now been in the shop two more times. Please don't beleave this man did anything to try and help. He had his wife call and tell me that I had a warranty to call them. Buyer Beware just as he said. Take your business down the street.
