      Bought a truck from them. At the end and final signing of the truck I wanted to make sure that the plates were going to be sent to my new address. And there was a new address because I had recently moved to ****** and they were aware of this prior to me even showing up but they wanted to keep the paperwork with my Washington address on it and that worried me. They said it was no big deal and not to worry about it and I asked him three four five times just had to make sure and be confident that the plates were not going to be mailed to my old address and would be mailed to the new address and they reassured me every time I asked him. That being said, it was a couple days before my temporary tag was about to expire I contacted them said I still haven't received my tags yet and my temporary tags about to expire. I they replied back and said oh no big deal your tags should be on the way I'll check on that when I get into the shop or whatever he said. And I had asked for a new temporary tag if the plates were going to take a while to process or whatever the problem was I didn't know and he agreed and said yeah we'll send you a new temp tag and get the plates squared away and get them to you as well. I have all of this in emails they have all the emails as well I have emails from before stating that I was moving to ****** and ********************** I have everything documented. Anyways the tags never come and they tell me that I now have to go to Washington and pick up my own tags and registration from the **** I explained to them there's not time in my life for this I'm a single dad of two boys and I work and I'm with my children I work and I'm with my children that's all I have time for I don't have free time to go do something like that and I would never would have signed up for something like that knowing that I don't have time for that. Now they won't even talk to me they won't even communicate with me I have no idea what's going on. All I want are my tags, please.

      went in to get a car they ran my credit and told me that i was only approved for a $3000 above ***** blue book $6000 mazda 6 2006 so i got it was ok for about 5 min off the lot then the check engine light came on and code after code kept coming up after i dropped $4000 to have it fixed they call me to tell me that the bank is not going to be keeping my loan after having it in the shop for three months. they told me that the car was a good car but they lied and then wanted it back to resale after i fixed hat i thought was the reason why it was acting up but the real reason is the car is not running is it has a bad motor the pistons were cracked and the valve cover was cracked camrod just about broken and they sold this to me knowing it and just erasing the codes and sold it then to make more money they say to the customer that the bank will not keep the loan and that they have to bring it back then try to get them in a better vehicle and just add the remaining amount on the bill to rip off the same person. i posted this story on ******** and received over *********************************************** the area with the different vehicles. i hope they get what is coming and they pay off the full bill as well my bills that i owe due to not being able to work because the car i bought from them was a piece of c***
