      Complaint Type:
      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      Initially I finance my vehicle ( 2015 Chyrsler Town and Country) with Holmes ********** in 2021. Since that time they had to make 3 major repairs to it startingin 2022: replace the transmission, replace the engine, and the fly *******. Those items were covered by a warranty they provided. Now in February 2024 I have had to replace the fly wheel myself not by Holmes but a more reputable company for $2000. While repaired that they also let me know that my transmission needs to be replaced again and engine too. I was very surprised to hear this. I call several times to try to speak with someone at Holmes ********** about the warranty on the work that they did and finally talked to the manger who then informed me that there warranties were I only good for 12 months and that they used old used parts or rebuilt parts. It appears that Holmes was only doing enough work to keep my car going a little while I faithfully continued to make my payments on time. They did not offer to help and the manager said he would email the service manager but I've never received a call back from them. I also called there headquarters in MS and am hoping to speak with an operations manager, but so far I've just been on hold. I just want my car fixed properly.

      I give Holmes Motors 0 stars they are the worst company they lied to get my money and disabled my car 3 times in one month the first time they said they did not have a good numbe on file for me they disabled my car with out calling my job number listed on my application or trying to reach out to any of the references I had to give them. The second time they disabled my car I was one day late making a payment. The third time was because they didn’t have my insurance on file three times in one month after I have paid them 2000 down and 900 and payments don’t ever deal with this car company, they would take your money and take advantage of you

      Ms ****** put a wrong work number on her application it belonged to a person who's had the number a long time , Second time we turned the car off was March 12 for second payment default The next time was the next day her insurance was cancelled. We have tried to deal with Ms ****** but she became very belligerent on the phone. We try to work with all of our customers in a professional manner and have 4937 customers driving our vehicles today without problems
