    Status:
    Answered
    Bought a vehicle March of 2021, I went to replace the tire as they were very worn to find out from a shop the control arms were bad. Mentioned to service manager at Steele chev he said he would not do anything about repair. Called NS motor vehicle since I was within the time frame they said they would look at it. They looked at it and said it was toe link. I took vehicle to NS ****** **** *hey said control arms as previous report that I had gotten. Head guy of Steele said he would only fix toe links that he was told about from ns motor vehicle. It is not toe links at all. Each of the reports I got state control arms which is a safety issue. Nobody wants to admit to control arms as the problem. When vehicle was purchased in March Steele chev passed the vehicle with mvi. When the safety issue should have made it a fail.

    Jan 16th, 2024 - Sold me a “good used car” that was worth putting an MVI on. So far I’m up to $4000 in invoices on an $7000 car (after taxes). The tires were so worn I’m surprised they passed the MVI. No horn either. Alignment is terrible. Needs an entire Camshaft replacement which involves stripping the engine. Also … whatever previous owners did to this deemed it unreadable on VW computers - so I can’t get any of the work done that’s under warranty. Should have been sold as is, where is, because the starter is gone now too and it hasn’t moved in days. It’s under a month old to me. ** * ****** ******** ******. *** **** ** * *****.

    Steele Chevrolet Response

    The vehicle was a 2014 model year with approximately 220,000 kms.  We advertised as a value priced MVI only vehicle which we provided full disclosure on what the vehicle was and its level of mechanical inspection.  We provided a full CarFax report which was signed and acknowledged.  We also provide a very detail disclosure which the client initials and signs.  As this type of value priced vehicle we offer to the public instead of running through the auction.  We fully disclose and recommend getting the vehicle inspected by an independent party due to the age of mileage of the vehicle.... 

    Here is a copy of the disclosure presented to the client which was signed off and initialed. It was initialed the client opted NOT to take our advice and get an independent inspection done.

    Steele Chev Value Priced Pre-Owned Vehicles


    This is to certify that I/we understand the purchase of a Steele Chev Value Priced Pre-Owned Vehicle comes with the following,

    2 Year Nova Scotia Motor Vehicle Inspection
    New Oil Change
    Carproof Report
    No warranty implied or otherwise (unless purchased)
    NO EXCHANGES – NO REFUNDS

    I/we understand the inherent risk of purchasing a vehicle that has only been checked for the MINIMUM required by the Nova Scotia MVI Inspection. 

    Even though this vehicle comes MVI Only inspected, I/we understand that this vehicle IS ELIGIBLE for the purchase of an extended warranty.

    Steele Chevrolet suggests if you have any concerns regarding this vehicle you take it for an independent opinion at a local LICENSED garage/facility of your choosing before purchasing.

    Did I take this advice and get a second opinion (init) YES________ or NO________

    Name              ________________________

    Signature       ________________________

    Date                ________________________

    We also provided an option to purchase and extended powertrain warranty (insurance) which the client declined and signed.

     

    We work to provide used vehicle offerings ranging from "As-is" to basic MVI only all the way up to full certified and warrantied.  All vehicles are fully disclosed as we work to be as transparent as possible and provide options for all budgets.
