I have been buying cars from Atlanta Car Exchange for 30 years, since they began. I have bought 17 used cars from them, or that is how many I can remember. I have also sent them my family and friends for cars. I see a couple of people out of the thousands of customers they have helped with their used car needs on here. I have to go with the old adage, you can't please everyone. I have seen nothing but integrity from David Bowen. We have actually become friends over the years. Seeing these malcontents bashing his good name is disappointing.

MISS DIVA, WE MADE EVERY ATTEMPT TO ACCOMIDATE YOU WITH YOUR CAR ISSUES AND OFFERED GOODWILL TO HELP SERVICE YOUR CAR EVEN AFTER YOU HAD IT FOR MONTHS AND DROVE IT THOUSANDS OF MILES BEFORE YOU CALLED US. YOU CHOSE TO GO TO COURT WHERE YOU LOST AND WERE ORDERED TO REMOVE THE NASTY AND FALSE STATEMENTS ABOUT OUR COMPANY. IM SURPRISED THAT I STILL HAVE TO HEAR ABOUT THIS YEARS LATER. WE HAVE OVER 10,000.00 CARS AND SUVS SOLD OVER THE LAST 25 YEARS AND I WOULD HOPE MORE WOULD POST THEIR EXPERIENCE WITH US AND THEIR VEHICLE.

I am very disappointed, that I found this negative report regarding Atlanta Car Exchange. I purchased a nice Lexus Ls 430 Gold, I had it for nine years, I had the best experience with Barry when I purchase my vehicle. I had no problems, very little maintenance & up keep. Throughout the nine year when it was eight years into having this car, I finally had to have my alternater rebuild. It didn't cost much at all. I only had to keep oil change & basis needed maintenance. I always had a pleasant experience with Barry & David, this report on ripoff is very disappointing to the excellent reputation they have. They both are very compassionate about their customers. They treated me with respect, honesty, & care. Barry is so nice and was so kind to me, he make you feel like a family member. I will always do business with Barry & David, I have referred several of my church family to them & they all had pleasant experience and excellent customer service with Atlanta Car Exchange.

JUST NOTICED THIS REPORT AFTER TWO YEARS. LETS JUST START OFF BY SAYING THAT WHAT IS POSTED HERE IS BY A PERSON THAT IS NOT A HAPPY PERSON. FOR ONE I HAVE NEVER MET YOU AND WOULD NEVER INTENTIONALLY HURY OR DECIEVE YOU. FOR YOU TOO POST THE NASTY POSTS IN EXTREMELY BIZARRE. YOU DID HAVE THE CAR FOR THOUSANDS OF MILES AND FOR TWO MONTHS AND NOTICED AN ISSUE WITH THE OIL SMELL. MY PARNER IN BUSINESS BARRY QUICKLY HELPED YOU BECAUSE HE SAID YOU WERE A SPECIAL CUSTOMER AND TOO KEEP YOU HAPPY. THIS VOLKSWAGEN HAD LOW MILES WHEN YOU BOUGHT IT SO THERE COULD NOT BE THAT MUCH TO REPAIR. AFTER YOU PICKED UP THE CAR YOU DROVE IT MONTHS AND MONTHS AND THOUSANDS OF MORE MILES. YOU CALLED AGAIN AND SAID SOMETHIME STILL WAS NOT RIGHT. WE PAID OVER $1600.00 IN GOOD WILL TO KEEP YOU HAPPY BUT DID NOT HAVE TOO . KEEP IN MIND YOU HAS SAID THAT THIS PARTICULAR VOKSWAGEN HAD A RECALL IN THE 1.8L ENGINE AND THAT THE FACTORY THAT BUILT THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE. BUT INSTEAD YOU HAVE BLAMED US AND WRITTED HATEFULL AND FALSE STATEMENTS ABOUT MY COMPANY. YOU ALSO CHOSE TO SUE ME IN COURT AND THE JUDGE DISMISSED THIS CASE BECAUSE YOU WERE IN THE WRONG. PLEASE REMOVE ALL THE STATEMENTS SINCE THE JUDGE ORDERED YOU TOO. WE HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS OVER 20 YEARS AND HAVE A GREAT REPUTATION. DAVID B

David E. Bowen and everyone that works for him including Barry Zakland are liars and crooks. He called me crying last month after I filed a report on Ripoff.com because I'm "making his business look bad, he's broke, and may have to close the business." I was in the process of taking him to court when he called to settle. He stated he would pay a certain amount each month for 12 months. He's only made one payment and now all of a sudden he was in a really bad car accident and is hurt and can't make the payments now. I'm sick of getting lame excuses from David and everyone who works for him so back to court we go. I'll let the judge handle it. So if you see any post for his cars on craigslist atlanta http://athensga.craigslist.org/cto/2996246087.html or 770-BARRY 757-7727 ATLANTACAR.COM....they are in Dunwoody by Perimeter Mall.
BEWARE!!! When you deal with crooks you get screwed over every time.

After a report was filed on ripoff.com the owner, David Bowen, called and wanted to settle the lawsuit all of a sudden. He called and sincerely apologized and said he and his salesman, Barry Zaklad, were in the wrong and he wanted to make it right. He met me the same day and gave me the title to the car, signed off on it so the lien would be removed, & we agreed to a happy settlement amount. Not the amount I was looking for but David claims he has no money so I had to take what he gave me I suppose. I agreed to try and take this report off of ripoff.com but seeing as I can't I decided to update the complaint and right something nice. I also agreed to drop the lawsuit as long as he pays the settlement amount. Thanks again ripoff.com!!! You guys work wonders...I'm sure I will be using you all again in the near future.
