  Re, Napleton Subaru - Schaumburg. Ph: ************ Conflict -purchase agreement April 19,2025.NAPLETON SUBARU changed contract figures w/unauthorized fees, not agreed **** purchaser. *. ******, Purchased 4-19-25.4 finance options offered Buyer, elected 48 mos $184 per mo. Discussed contract w/Fi.Mngr., *.*****.10yrs exp in *********** said,will save a few dollars p/ mo Contract copy printed w/$184 figure. Buyer left & later a call from ****said, I must return- re-sign doc's-buyer needs to pay an add'l $7. p/mo. (=$336.00) over/48 mo's. ** said because he forgot buyer is to pay for reg, plates. ** said buyer does this regardless of being his mistake & because I'd signed a Waiver releasing dealer from MISTAKES. I responded. I view this as MISREPRESENTATION & or fraud & look at situation as intentional. He stated there was an issue re my trade in title (I owned- No loan-clean title) so had to get new plates vs. ones I already had. Tnt.The $184 was now $191. Loan was placed with ****** I called and filed a complaint with them. Their operator took my info and said she would reach out to the dealer. To date I have not had any response.Issue is, who or how was the original purchase contract CHANGED without my consent. It appears Napleton simply made an unauthorized change, which I believe is fraud on their part. NOTE the registration was discussed at the time ****** and I were in the close. ****** never mentioned I would owe any additional fees at closing.I felt all fees, taxes etc were listed properly and included on the original document until this situation was finalized,As I told him directly at that time, if this was not the case I was going to back out of the purchase. Also note. I told ****** ***** not to cash or deposit my down payment of $5,000 the same day he asked me to come back into the shop and to re-sign the original doc's.I am filing a complaint for fraudulent activity on the part of Napleton Subaru and finance manager, ****** *****.

  Insert my coupon code in the Auto Hook (Urban Science) website to validate my test drive. I did the test drive with *************************, but due to a personal grudge the dealership refuses to honor this offer. We have a contract in places which entitles me to the incentive. Prior to filing in small claims court I am attempting to settle this in an amicable manner. I attempted to reach out to the dealership, but they will not respond. I am seeking BBB help in this matter due to this was a marketplace interaction. Test drive code is code #: ********** Date of marketplace interaction was 6/18/2024. They promised in writing a validated test drive, but still have not executed the validation. I completed the test drive and upheld my end of the deal. **********************************.

  During this gentleman's visit, he was asked to produce proof of current insurance along with a valid driver's license. At that point he responded with speaking "assholes" loud enough for several different employees to hear it. He was told our transaction was through and we would not be honoring the promotion. He did not test drive the vehicle as described due to being incapable of behaving in a reasonable civilized fashion. Our employees are not obligated to be abused so that he can collect on a $50 promotion. I struggle to see how one person could be so bold as to insist on being treated in such a fashion while themselves showing a complete disregard for extending basic decency themselves.

  I am rejecting this response because I have video evidence that I physically took the test drive and your dealership has a plethora of video footage proving I did take the test drive.  In the year 2024 it is hard to get away with not telling the truth because of multiple video cameras.  If you review the footage you will see I did the full test drive.  Do not destroy the video footage as that serves as evidence.  Furthermore,  I have had my video camera along with voice recorder on from start to finish.  I can present this evidence in Small Claims Court if it comes to that.  I am requesting a full investigation into your video footage and I am confident if you do that you will see I completed the test drive.  The video footage in conjunction with the Terms & Conditions entitles me to the $50 incentive.  Validate now.  If I am forced to file in Small Claims Court I will ask for triple damages as allowed by law to cover my filing fees.  I am confident I will prevail with video and audio evidence from my Smart Phone.  Prior to sinking the time into Small Claims Court I am attempting to settle this in an amicable manner.  When I left the dealer any words that were overheard were directed towards someone I was talking to on the phone, not the sales staff.  No negative comments were directed towards your staff.  I had the phone on speaker and was talking to someone else.  Do further research.  Explore video footage at the dealer as that is the point of it.  One step I will take prior to Small Claims Court is request a corporate level investigation.  Perhaps higher *** will be able to see the light.  I implore you to validate now to avoid a corporate level investigation and Small Claims Court. I have always been a big fan of Subaru and I truly am in the market to buy one, but my plans have been put on hold due to this unpaid debt. 
  
  Sincerely,

  If you did in fact record our interaction without our authorization, that would mean you also recorded yourself calling our staff "assholes"? But how could you have been speaking on the phone to an outside party at the same time we were being recorded without consent? Also, *********************** is a sales manager at the dealership and has not test driven a vehicle with you or anyone in months. I also fail to see how a $50 gift card payout would uphold the purchase of a new vehicle that would exceed $25,000 but maybe that could generously be described as stretching the truth which would fit past behavioral patterns. 

  You are welcome to pursue the redemption via the 3rd party that originates the offer, which is Auto Hook/Urban Science. The dealership will not be making any efforts to redeem it after the abusive behavior displayed.

  I am rejecting this response because I did the test drive.  This is my final communication and attempt to settle this.   I am putting into writing that I will file a Small Claims Court suit for Triple Damages at the ***************** in downtown ******* after the final deadline which I am setting which is  July 5th 2024.  At that point I will proceed to file  the Small Claims Suit between July 5th, 2024 -  August 5th, 2024, but not after that date.  This dispute will be settled by an impartial judge whose decision I will accept whichever way it goes.  It should be noted lawyers are not allowed in Small Claims Court so it will be myself there along with dealership staff. I did have verbal consent from the dealer staff to audio and video record the test drive. 
  
  Sincerely,

  In September of 2023 I went into this location to purchase a vehicle. The salesman told us he had a certified preowned vehicle (CPO); optimal and in my price range During negotiations it was confirmed that it was a CPO vehicle and all the perks of buying one would come with the car, Free Starlink for 3 months,, 7 year ******* mile warranty, 2 keys, 152 point inspection with repairs made and special financing. I puchased the vehicle. During the financing of the vehicle I was told that I had to puchase a $2000 paint warranty because it was a CPO vehicle. After purchasing a car fax report and calling SofA the next day it was found that this car was not a CPO vehicle. I went back to the dealer immediatley to try to rectify this false sale. I was ignored and no resolution. I then contacted subaru of america again and they started to recitfy this. SofA tried to contact Napleton for over one month with failed returned calls. SofA said what they did was wrong. I then contacted the warranty spec and then agreed what Napleton did was wrong. I should have never been told I had to buy a warranty. Finally, after 3 months, Napleton reached out admitting the car was not CPO and they just learned this. They offered for me to exchange my car or to accept an 8 yr, ******* mile warranty that started in 2018. I have notified them that I will not accept and sent them a demand list which falls in line with a purchase of a CPO Subaru. I am demanding all items stated above This was a misrepresented/fraudulent sale by Napleton and they need to fix it to coincide with a CPO vehicle, as which it was sold. As a corporation how can they come back after a sale and say they didn't know the car was not CPO and leave me to deal with the failed promises of a CPO vehicle due to their mistake. The attached 152 pt check list has a false signature stating repairs were made but they weren't and thes is no proof of the repairs. The car needs those items checked off in boxes repaired

  Napleton Schaumburg Subaru 911 ********************************* Schaumburg ******** ***** I was incorrectly charged for 6K mile service in August 2023. Under lease agreement I have maintenance plan that was to pay for all required service. Service advisor at time could not locate service plan details on new cars purchased at other dealers. Have contacted dealer numerous times and they have been unresponsive to date 11-16-23. Please issue a charge back credit for the overpayment.

  Hello ********************, 

  We apologize for not catching the maintenance plan in Subaru's system during your visit. Earlier today you spoke with our service manager ***************************. During that conversation, he expressed two different ways we can make up for our error. First, we can claim the service through Subaru and once they process the claim, we will disburse the proceeds to you by check. Second, the way Subaru's maintenance plan works is that all of the services included in the plan are essentially banked. While the plan has time and mileage specifications of 2 years and ****** miles, the services included in that plan remain available for you to claim until they are all used. We can also defer that last claimed service so it would fall at the back end of the plan. Please let us know either way and we will process according to your wishes.

  Better Business My response follows :
  First, this issue has been ongoing since August 2023 Napleton has been unresponsive to my numerous communications which is why I contacted BBB. Additionally, I never spoke to the service Manager ***************************** as Napleton asserts in their response to my complaint. I spoke with a service writer who took my name and number and promised to have someone call me unfortunately, that never occurred. I personally never had a conversation with anyone at Napleton regarding reimbursement of any kind. Any statements by Napleton Subaru to the contrary are false.

  
  The dealership has agreed to process the claim thru Subaru and issue me a check for their mistake that is acceptable.
  
  Sincerely,
