Unfortunately not a very positive experience at Allen.\r
1. I was quoted by three other dealerships a great price, when I asked Allen to meet that price, they said yes, but with attitude. Basically, ""I want your business, so I'll make a couple hundred dollars"". They left it on my voicemail and then was the first thing they said when I walked in the door to purchase the car.\r
2. When I was done filling out the paperwork, I met the person who bought my car outside to complete the sale. I walked back into the dealership within 15-20 minutes. As I was about to sign the dotted line, after they checked my credit, the salesman advised me the car I was about to purchase ran into another car while being detailed. I asked if he could find another car like the one I was about to buy and he said no. I was stuck. I just sold my car and there are not a lot of hybrids with the specifics I wanted out there, so they said.\r
3. I purchase the car, walk out to drive the car home and there was a check engine light on! They tried to find me a rental so they could take care of the check engine light and body damage, but it was too late, so I had to drive my new car home with a check engine light and body damage. They picked up my car Monday afternoon to fix it, gave me a nice loner car with 1/2 tank of gas (on them) and they had my car for 10 days! They first repaired the body damage, without checking the check engine light. Sure enough it was a serious problem and parts had to be ordered and took days to get in and repair. Probably should have been the first thing they did when they received the car.\r
4. They had two different Vin numbers for my car, so the DMV and insurance were given two numbers that I had to fix. Calling the DMV is not fun!\r
5. The dealership offered me a free detail, basically a glorified car wash for the inconvenience. Amazing!\r
6. My car bumper underneath was scratched by a high curb in downtown Laguna. I asked Allen if they'd repair it for the inconvenience from the car problems. They would not pay the $225 in repair. When I emailed them my feelings on the situation, no reply.\r
Disappointed.
