              I purchased a car from First Choice Automotive on January 23 that day I taken the car to *** **** to have an inspection on the car on my way back to the dealership. The car overheated which I was told there was a leak in the water pump to which they changed and then now it’s not even been 20 days that I’ve had the car and the engine has locked up because of something their mechanic did when changing the water pump And to no avail I cannot seem to get anyone to do anything the extended warranty which I am paying for now it’s telling me they will not replace the engine near this first choice automotive want to do anything about the car? I have not even made the first car payment on this car because I have literally not even had it for 20 days .

              Where do I begin? They sold me a truck with the faulty transmission they gave me the runaround the whole time. I never got a chance to enjoy my truck. My transmission blew out with my nine-year-old in the car on a bridge with Cars passing by, they didn’t offer for a tow. They refused to get my car fixed stating that I had drove over the mileage exceeded, which was just a bogus reason for them not to replace my transmission they initially said that they would replace but never replaced. These guys are a rip off and I don’t know how they continue to run a business with all of these other bad reviews.
