    Pattern of Complaint:

    On December 31, 2015 BBB reached out to Happy Motors LLC regarding a pattern of complaints filed against the business. 

    Consumers allege the business verbally states vehicles are in good working condition; however, after the purchase they find their vehicle has numerous repair issues; thus, rendering the vehicle inoperable and unsafe (including one complaint in which the consumer describes a life threatening situation of their vehicle catching on fire).  Additionally, consumers allege rudeness and lack of respect by management and employees.  Complaint information also indicates confusion regarding warranty and insurance coverage, the withholding of tax, title and licensing paperwork, lack of notification when purchasing salvaged or recalled vehicles and odometer issues such as: business not providing original odometer reading and odometer not working correctly at the time of purchase.

    On January 7, 2016, a representative from Happy Motors LLC contacted BBB responding that Happy Motors LLC has approximately 900 accounts and goes above and beyond in making repairs to the vehicles they sell. They carry notes longer but also have a high report rate. They spend approximately $20,000.00 a month on parts purchased for the vehicles they sell and they take care of those who cannot afford to purchase from other Dealers.

    Consumers are encouraged to file complaints in writing online at www.bbb.org   Or, may call the BBB serving Southeast Texas at: 409-835-5951.  Please utilize the following link to contact the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles at: http://www.txdmv.gov/motorists/buying-or-selling-a-vehicle?tab=consumer-protection
    Alert:

    On December 31, 2015 BBB reached out to Happy Motors LLC regarding a pattern of complaints that led to a BBB investigation. BBB found multiple negative online consumer reviews (yellowpages.com, google, etc.) that contained information contradictory to laws regulating car dealerships and were very concerning to BBB.

      Unanswered
      DATE OF TRANSACTION: 04/07/2023 AMOUNT: 800 DOWN **** FOR CAR COMMITMENT: While the car was sold as is, I was repeatedly reassured by mechanic and salesman the car was in good working order. I asked about p codes and lights on dash and was told it was just old and it was just minor wear and tear. I was not allowed to drive on highway. It stopped running in less than 30 minutes. Called and said tow truck was coming that day or next morning. Same thing on Monday. I finally called and told them i was having it towed and they turned the phones off. They were still off today. They manager and the mechanic refused to speak with me. The odometer was tapered with also. I had a mechanic check out the car and there was a blown head gasket that was corroded and water was in the oil. The mechanic said it had been like that for awhile. The car lot refuses to communicate with me. I want my money back over the fraud of the dealership. Not to mention the money I've had to spend on rides.
