DON'T BE FOOLED BY THIS CROOK 3/22/2010

There goes Chris Shuler for the 8th. time deleting my honest review about him which he does not like. Chris why is it that you keep deleting my review about you. I am only saying the real truth about you. Do you really think that people are stupid. When they go on Citysearch and see that you only keep the positive reviews, and delete the negative ones, their only thought about you is how foolish and stupid you are. So here is my review again about you, as I promised that I will keep on posting it every time you delete it. You can also keep blocking me from posting the review, but I will always find a way to re-post the review about you again and again. Chris Shuler did not like the comment that a prior customer that he also ripped off posted under my review. The customer went to have her car repaired, and got a quote which she agreed on. The next day he called her to let her know that the original quote was going to be 3 times the original one.The customer then told him that she was unable to afford it. Chris then told her not to worry that he would finance the job, so that she could have the repairs done. Well the customer was called to pick her car up, she did so, only to find out that this crook did not do what he said he would do for her. He requested full payment before he releases her the car. The customer then had no choice but to go to her bank and get a personal loan, so that she could get her car back. According to the customer, Chris Shuler also pulled the same dirty trick on her friend. For all of you who had a bad experience with this crook, not only do you need to post your review on Citysearch which he will delete, after he threaten Citysearch to remove all of the negative reviews. (He has deleted my reviews 4 times on Citysearch so far). You will also need to post them on Google, yellowpages, and craigslist among all others websites, since the threat that works with Citysearch will not work with these other websites. He will also block you from posting negative reviews on Citysearch once you post it and he deletes it. You can always re-post your review, all you have to do is go around the system and it will aloud you to do so again and again like I do. You also need to file a complaint with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Their address is 407 South Cahoun Street, Tallahsse, FL 32399-0800. Phone number is 1-800-435-7352. The website is (800helpfla.). You will be able to file a complaint online. If you really want to see who this crook is, just go to this website. (htt://cc.co.tarrant.tx.us/CivilCourts/JP). This is the website for the Tarrant County Court at, 1000 E. Weatherford Street, Fort Worth, Texas 76196. Phone number is 817-884-1111. You will see the ugly trail that he left in Fort Worth Texas. Now he comes to Orlando Florida and is doing the same thing. We need to stop this crook from taking advantage of all hard working Floridians, and the only way that we can stop this crook is by reporting him to the proper authorities. Those positive reviews that are posted, 99% of them are posted by Chris Shuler himself, his girlfriend Helen Lawson and his staff, so don't be fooled by them. How stupid can this guy be, in what world can a company get 100% positives reviews 24 hour a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Here is an example. On 1/23/2010 he posted 3 positive reviews. Two days later on 1/25/2010 he posted 5 positive reviews. You do the math, how can any company get 3 or more positives reviews in one day, and not one single negative review. Look at what is happening to the world most reliable auto maker, Toyota. This guy is living in a fantasy world. On February 3, 2010, the Orange Tax Collector left him notice for him to obtain county business receipts for all 3 of his locations. He has 180 days ( Until August 2, 2010), to comply before the Orange Tax Collector starts imposing fines to this crook. SO STAY AWAY FROM THIS CROOK!!!!! Cons: DISHONST, BAD PRACTICE, CROOK more

THIS GUY IS A CROOK 3/9/2010

There he goes (Chris Shuler) deleting the negative reviews, this is the 9th. time that he deleted my review, but I will post it right back. Chris Shuler did not like the comment that a prior customer that he also ripped off posted under my review. The customer went in to have her car repair, and got a quote which she agreed on. The next day he call her to let her know that the original quote was going to be 3 times the original one. The customer then told him that she was unable to afford it.

The customer then had no choice but to go to her bank and get a loan, so that she could get her car back. According to the customer Chris Shuler also pulled the same dirty trick on her friend. If Chris Shuler would tried to pull that dirty trick on me, I would not go to my bank, instead I would go to the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Service, and the the Court system. For all of you who had a bad experience with this crook, not only do you need to post your review on Citysearch which he will delete, after he threaten Citysearch to remove all of the negative reviews. You will also need to post them on Goolge, yellowpages. and craigslist among all other website, since the threat that work with Citysearch will not work with these other site. He will also block you from posting negative reviews on Cittysearch once you post the first one. You can still go around that and re-post them, which is what I do. You also need to file a complaint with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. Their address is 407 South Cahoun Street, Tallahassee, FL. 32399-0800. Phone number is 1-800-435-7352. The website is (www.800helpfla). You will be able to file a complaint online. If you want to see who this crook is, just got to this website.

On Vacation and Stuck 1/24/2010

Nothing worse then being on vacation and your brakes go! I came to Orlando to go to Disney with my family I am from MI. While driving back to the hotel one night I notice that I am hitting the brakes and nothing is happening. I saw a huge billboard near our hotel for Dealer Direct so I decided I better give them a call and get it towed in. Not only did they tow the van for free they also gave me a free quote and a ride back to the hotel. They got my van fixed up the next day had it by afternoon. It was such a relief to find an honest place while your on vacation that didn't make us go without a vehicle for more than a day. They saved our trip! Thank you so much we really apprecaited it. Pros: Friendly Staff Cons: Not a one! more

Porsche Cayenne 1/24/2010

I knew my car wasn't driving as well as it normally did so I stopped in to Dealer Direct on my way home from work and asked if they could take a quick look at it. They told me I needed new tires and quoted me a price to get the tires and balance them. I took quote left and went home and called around to all local places and competitors. I was pleased to know that they gave me the lowest price out of anyone and could get me in and out the quickest. Thanks so much for being honest kind of refreshing to see now a days. They come highly recommended by me! Pros: Quick and Courteous more

Explorer 1/24/2010

I brought my explorer to dealer direct because a coworker told me they did free estimates. I was headed to College and it was a one way trip I needed to make sure the SUV would last while I was there. It had been running a little funny lately. They looked it over and gave me a quote in half hour. As someone who doesn't know alot about cars they were very good in explaining what every thing meant that I needed and how much it would cost to put it on. As someone that has always looked around for the best deal I kept the quote and went to two more local competitors both of which charged me for the estimate. Dealer Direct had the lowest and most honest quote for what my explorer really needed not what they thought they could squeeze out of me. You don't know how nice it is to feel like your being taken care of and not getting ripped off. I am glad I stopped in there. Thanks dealer direct when I am back visiting family I will be sure to stop in and have another look over. I also made here safe! Thanks again Pros: GREAT SERVICE! Cons: Can't think of any more

97 Civic 1/24/2010

I found this place Dealer Direct from a billboard I saw going home one day. I knew my car needed to be looked at mainly the axles but didn't really have the $ to spend on an estimate and then be told it would cost thousands to fix. I want my Honda to last forever but I can't break the bank doing it. I called them up and wanted to get some quotes over the phone. When he told me the estimate was free I headed right down there. I figured what could it hurt I didn't have to get it fixed I could just see what the problem was and worry about it later. I sat in the waiting room which by the way was as clean as a doctors office for about half an hour. He came back in sat down with me and went over in detail what it needed how much each part was and how much labor was for each of those parts. He then went on to offer me discounts on labor by getting it all fixed at once. The quote was half what I thought it would be. They got me fixed up in a cheap rental car I didn't mind paying since the price of fixing car was so much cheaper then everyone else. They had it back to me in 2 days. I just can't say enough good things about these guys. I have had my car back for 3 weeks now and not a single problem or issue. I really appreciate the hard work and great customer service. I will be telling friends and family to go see you guys! Pros: honest and affordable more

Crown Vic 1/24/2010

I brought my 98 crown vic in because the car was overheating and leaking all over the place. I thought there would be no saving the car or spending way more than I had available. I left my car with them for the day and just prayed it would be something fixable. I got a call from them about two hours later much sooner than expected and they explained in detail what needed to be done to make it run. They were fast and really seemed to care about my needs and budget which is most important in times like these. I was able to save my car and had it back within 4 days. They were the best shop I have ever been to and they made a life long customer out of me. Thanks Dealer Direct! Pros: Quick Service Cons: None more

WOW 1/23/2010

I took my Chevy Metro to 3 shops before taking it to Dealer Direct every single one of them had an estimate of around $2500 not to mention I had to pay all of them to tell me that. I saw a huge billboard for dealer direct so I figured one more couldn't hurt. I was amazed when he said the estimate was free and told me where waiting area was. That was the cleanest shop I have ever been in. Within 20 minutes he came back into me sat down explained in detail everything that needed to be done now and what could wait or didn't need to be done at all. They quoted me half of the price and half the time. Thank you so much! Pros: Honest people Cons: nothing at all more

2001 Dodge 1/23/2010

I brought my dodge in for an oil change and basic overhaul to see what it needed. Most shops will come back to you with a laundry list of things that "need" to be done right away. Not at dealer direct they changed my oil let me know how much longer I had on my tires, brakes, fluids etc. Gave ne a time frame of when they should be done but did not pressure me one bit. I will definitely be back and would tell anyone I know to go see them. Thanks for being an honest shop which is hard to come by these days! I will see you in a month to get my brakes done! Pros: Great Work thats affordable Cons: Nada more

Great Service 1/23/2010

This was a great place to take my Kia to. I wasn't at a place to buy a new car and wanted to get at least another year out of mine. I took it in there and they were quick and courtesy to me. I was able to get it fixed within my budget and get at least another year out of it. I would highly recommend dealer direct! Pros: Quick and Honest Service more
