    I purchased a vehicle site unseen and with warranty and a guarantee that car was 100%. After the car was delivered I immediately realized something was wrong. The cars transmission was acting up when I asked about it from employee of Srq he said it was normal. Since he was a mechanic I believed that. It progressively got worse and no response from dealership and warranty they showed me was not the one they actually gave me. Nothing was covered! So I parked the car until I could get it fixed. $ 4000 later it had a bad transmission from day one. They refused to send any paperwork after they took all of everything we signed and were supposed to receive copys. They covered thier tracks well. Please help me right this wrong

    My 19 year old son found a truck on their website and wanted to go take a look at it. I didnt want him jumping the gun, so I decided to join him. The truck looked to be in ************, although you could clearly see they had painted over rust, yet claimed the truck had never been painted. I noticed it on multiple vehicles on the lot. While my son chatted with the salesman I decided to take a look at the ****** reviews. I was APPALLED at what I read. So many negative reviews about the mistreatment by the staff and owners, especially after purchasing a vehicle from them. So many lemons being sold, and the owners responses to the negative reviews is something everyone needs to see. Thats not even the best part though, the kicker for me was when I asked where the restroom was and went inside. Before I even made it into the restroom I could hear someone YELLING at the top of their lungs. It was the owner *****. Im not sure if it was just a female employee or maybe his wife, but he was calling her stupid, idiot, *****, *****, telling her to shut the * up and she can get out and leave. I was horrified that a business owner would act this way. I left the office and told my son lets go. On the way home I did a quick public records search and turns out this clown has a history of domestic violence.Please take the time to read all of the reviews on this horrific business before giving them your money.

    Srq Auto and ********************************* have never conducted a business transaction.  *** will not participate in a rebuttal to such a grotesque review of falsehoods filled with profanity and hate speech.
