    Answered
    Bought a car on June 28, 2021 from Auto Advantage. Car has performed well, but started running hot. On Aug 18, 2021, car overheated and stopped running. Had to sit on interstate shoulder while it cooled. Checked all the fluid levels after it cooled and they were fine. Car had the same problem the next day. No Jeep dealer would see us on Friday so we went to our local shop. Our guy found a 'claw' hammer in the fan housing. After removing it the fans would not run. Eventually he found a blown fuse, apparently caused by heat overload. I called Ethos Warranty about the trouble and they clarified that warranty doesn't covered problems caused by Auto Advantage, or any garage or dealer. Today I went to the car lot to discuss problem. They reluctantly paid for repair fees but refused to reinspect the car as I asked. Clearly the car was not inspected thoroughly by Auto Advantage before sale.

    I recently purchased a used car from Advantage. Although it was overpriced I bought it anyway. On the first test drive I mentioned to the salesman that the *** light was on and indicated an error. There was also a chip in the middle of the windshield. I called and talked with several people and got the *** answer "we'll look into it" In other words your on your own. Within a week or so I noticed the front brakes were dragging. So after buying an overpriced car now I have to have the *** monitors in each wheel replaced, a new windshield (It is also badly scrapped where wipers drug) and a new set of brakes. Thats probably at least another $1,000 I have to put into a car that was just pushed out the door even though it had problems. I will not go there again and have told as many people who would listen not to go there either. They will rip you off
