  Dealer sold me a car on May 1st, 2025. I told them that car is purchased for export and that I need title to clear the customs asap. Dealer first failed to mention that title can be expedited, 2nd promised 2nd key which I never got. 6 weeks later secretary of state got back to me saying that they never received title and payment for title processing which dealer did collect from me. I attempted to contact dealer 6 or 7 times and once when there in person. Every time same response "managers are busy and title department is unavailable". In the meantime,I left for your while shipping company bill me daily for shipping container which waits for the car. I might even fly back to us and back to ****** just to obtain the title which no one has idea where is it. This dealer is biggest s**** up I ever worked with. In the meantime, secretary of state advised me to contact secretary of state police which I left a message for (and will try again), and I sent documents to my attorney since we are planning to sue them for expenses, filing fee and inconvenience. I will try everything legally possible to contact Springfield and have their business license ****************************** are nothing else but frauds.

  Response to BBB Case #******** ***** *******
  
  Thank you for the opportunity to respond to Mr. ******** concerns regarding the purchase of his 2016 **** A6 on May 1, 2025.
  
  We regret any frustration caused by the title processing delays and want to share the steps we have taken to resolve the issue:
  
  The vehicle was acquired by our dealership as a trade-in with an active lien through Ally Financial.
  
  While we received a lien release on June 15, 2025, Wisconsin DMV procedures required additional time to clear the lien electronically.
  
  Our staff made multiple trips to the Wisconsin DMV to expedite obtaining a duplicate title. Per Wisconsin regulations, the duplicate title was issued and mailed to the prior owner rather than directly to us.
  
  We received the title back from the prior owner in late June. On June 26, 2025, we submitted document #********** to the Illinois Secretary of State in *********** to process issuance of a new Illinois title. We have confirmed that Springfield validated receipt of the document on June 30, 2025.
  
  In the meantime, we issued license plates ******* for Mr. ******* around the time of sale to allow the vehicle to be driven legally while the title application was pending.
  
  Regarding Mr. ******** statement that the vehicle was purchased for export, while we understand he had plans to ship the vehicle, there were no contractual agreements or special processing arrangements beyond the standard vehicle sale transaction. Unfortunately, in some cases, title delays occur due to lien releases and DMV procedures that are beyond our immediate control.
  
  We regret that this process has been time-consuming and appreciate Mr. ******** patience. Our team has worked diligently within our control to complete each step as quickly as possible. A member of management will follow up to provide tracking information on the title once it is issued by the State of Illinois.
  
  Sincerely,
  
  CarWise Gurnee

  I financed this vehicle December 1st 2023 which is a 2018 Infiniti Q50 I financed two vehicles this day however I only have a complaint about one on the second of December my check engine light came on so on the 4th of December I returned back to the dealership and I found out that this vehicle did not have catalytic converters on it I was told that they would put the catalytic converters on however it would take them time I never received a phone call from them let me know they are ready to fix the vehicle they told me that they was waiting on the parts to come in. Once I could get back to the dealership they told me it was basically out of there control that they would not fix the catalytic converters however I cannot pass an emissions test to renew my license plates without a catalytic converter on the vehicle I went to Infiniti where they told me that this repair will cost me $6,000 I did not get anything in writing however I do have a witness that they told me they would repair the car which is the cosigner of the vehicle.

  Response to BBB Case #******** ******* *******
  
  Thank you for the opportunity to respond to Ms. ******** concerns regarding her 2018 Infiniti Q50.
  
  We sincerely regret any confusion or frustration this situation has caused. Our records confirm that shortly after Ms. ******** purchase in December 2023, she returned to our dealership reporting that the vehicles check engine light was on and that she had been informed the catalytic converters were missing. At that time, our team advised her we would be sourcing the parts necessary for the repair and that this could take some time due to availability.
  
  We understand Ms. ******* later received information that the dealership would not be able to perform the repair. After reviewing the matter internally, we are unable to determine who provided that information, as it does not reflect our intention or our current position.
  
  Since then, our Sales Manager has spoken directly with Ms. ******* to clarify our commitment to resolve the issue. Our ****************** has the necessary parts ordered (or has confirmed availability, as applicable) and is prepared to complete the installation of the catalytic converters. We have reached out to Ms. ******* to schedule a service appointment at her convenience to remedy this matter at no cost to her.
  
  We are committed to ensuring Ms. ******** vehicle is brought into compliance with emissions standards so she can proceed with registration renewal.
  
  We encourage Ms. ******* to contact our ****************** directly to arrange a time for the repair. If she prefers, our Sales Manager remains available to personally assist with scheduling and follow-up.
  
  Again, we apologize for any miscommunication or delay and are eager to complete this repair as promptly as possible.
  
  Sincerely,

  On 2/19/2025, I purchased a 2021 VW Atlas from what was then ************ in ********, **. They have since changed their name to CarWise and are in Gurnee, IL. During the signing of the documents, ****** *****, the finance manager added a warranty for $4000 and gap insurance for $1000.00 without my knowledge. Earlier, the sales person told me that Mr. ***** would discuss warranty options with me. This did not happen.Also, when signing the documents, I was given an iPad on which to sign, and the document was never presented or discussed with me, and these items were added without my knowledge or consent. I contacted Mr. ***** via email (attached) and was told that the $5000.00 would be refunded to the lien holder, ********************* and that it would take 6-9 weeks. I later received notice from the warranty company that my warranty was in effect, and I contacted them directly to cancel it. They stated in their letter that they will refund the money back to the dealership. I have received no refund even though Mr. ***** assured me that it was forthcoming. Mr. ******* email does not seem to be functioning anymore so I have sent several emails through the contact us on their website. I have only received a message that I should call Mr. ****** Since I don't trust them, I want all communication via email which I have stated to them 3 times now. I would like a refund of the $5000.00 plus an additional $1000.00 for the extra interest that I have been charged and for my time in having to deal with this.

  Dear ********,
  I hope this message finds you well. I would like to sincerely apologize for the lack of communication and any promises that were not followed through regarding the refund for the warranty and ************* charges.
  Please note that ****** *****, who was previously handling your case, is no longer employed with us. We understand the frustration this has caused and regret that these issues were not resolved sooner.
  Regarding the refund, I can confirm that a check was sent to ********************* on May 24, 2025, for the refund amount. Please allow a few more days for the credit to be processed and reflected in your account.
  Again, we apologize for any inconvenience caused, and we appreciate your patience in this matter. Should you have any further questions or need additional assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out.
  Thank you for your understanding.

  I purchased a vehicle about 60 days ago now. I specifically asked the salesperson not to add any dealer aftermarket extras to my loan. One person came and expressed the benefits of the extended warranty to me , which I did agree to. Somehow, a few days later while going through my documents I discovered not only had the extended warranty I agreed to but also had several other options I didnt not agree to. No one explained to me the value of those extras, it was rolled into the financing which is what I did not want. These extras include an appearance package (how do you validate that its actually applied? It basically a ***** wax job that I dont know is there or not). It also includes gap insurance, which was never sold to me. Somehow sort of Multi guard product was loaded into my purchase contract and frankly I dont even know what this is. The perceived benefit of this was never explained. My conversation about these items were brought to their attention March 3. A refund was promised and as of April 30, Im still waiting.

  Dear Mr. ******************** you for your patience and for bringing this matter to our attention.
  We sincerely apologize for the delay and confusion youve experienced. Transparency is something we take very seriously, and its clear this process did not meet your expectations or our standards. Unfortunately, the individual you had been corresponding with is no longer with our dealership, which may have contributed to the lapse in follow-through. We regret that you were not notified of this change earlier.
  After reviewing your transaction and the communication history, we want to address your concerns directly. To ensure clarity and accountability at the time of sale, we require both electronic and wet signatures for all optional products. These include the service contract, Multi-Guard, GAP protection, and appearance package all of which were signed for at the time of financing.
  That said, some of these items are cancellable. Importantly, after reviewing your previous correspondence with our former finance manager ****** *****, we acknowledge that a commitment was made on March 8 to cancel both the Multi-Guard and GAP products. A ******** agreement was sent to confirm these cancellations. Based on that agreement, we will honor the cancellation and ensure any eligible refunds are submitted promptly to your lender.
  The service contract is also a cancellable item, and we would be happy to process that cancellation if you still wish to proceed. However, wed also be happy to provide you with full details on coverage and how to submit a claim if you'd prefer to retain it.
  Items such as LoJack and the appearance package are non-cancellable, pre-installed protections that are applied to all vehicles prior to delivery. While they are noted in the purchase documents, we understand how complex the purchase process can be and are available to review any paperwork with you to answer outstanding questions.
  If there is anything else youd like to review or cancel, please contact our General Manager, ****** *******, directly at ********************************** for assistance.
  Thank you again for your business and the opportunity to resolve this.

  I went to this dealership and I was looking to purchase a car after having an accident in my car being totaled. I was reluctant to go with them from past issues when I first initially got there I asked to speak to a woman because that was where my comfort was, and I got ridiculed by several men in the office because I was not comfortable speaking with them. I then walked out and I was asked to come back and when I came back, I started working with a woman named ********. She was nice. She helped me out. We agreed to down payment of 3500 and a monthly payment of $650. After signing the paperwork purchasing the car and taking all the necessary steps I come to find out the monthly payment is completely different than what we agreed to the down payment is completely different than what we agreed to and they have taken out more money that I have authorized out of my account than have assigned to, and they are stating that I signed for a different amounts that I do not see in my documents. During the time of signing, I asked ******** were certain documents, gonna be accessible to me for me to take home and now that I am looking at my flash drive I dont have those documents accessible. Every time I call and ask to speak to someone no one is available. They are refusing to send me my documents No one has any sense of urgency when trying to help me I authorize for them to take $300 out of my account April 4, 2025 and another $300 out of my account April ********* to complete my final payment of the down payment of the 3500 that I agreed to with ********. I checked my account today on April 4 and they have took $400 out of my account when I have signed and agreed and authorize for only $300 for today. I since then have asked for them to send me my signed authorized agreement of the installment and they will not send me any info. A gentleman has called me. He is supposed to be the manager off of ************ asking for docs that he has access to. He hangs up on in my face.

  I am rejecting this response because: ?They need to be held accountable for their actions and misinformation. They have sent false information to the bank. As pictured is a title from car I purchased in cash. They asked me do I have an old title that shows I purchase a car without a lean holder I sent them this and they lied and used it as a down payment option. Which makes sense on when we got to signing this page I attached as well he slid the iPad all the way down and said this page is just the down payment you put and your monthly payment we agreed to you can sign here. This vehicle ****** impala white) was sold to the pound back in 2020 this is not an active nor registered vehicle. I checked with my saleswoman ***** serval times to assure the numbers we agreed to were correct and she stated yes so I didnt think that Id have to go over this and throughly I even told him what her and I agreed to before signing and he said that is correct. After me signing they changed everything. Check the negative reviews on the ****** page Im not the only one with this issue. I went in to obtain my documents I didnt have on the flash drive and to show proof of my authorization installment plan and I know what I authorized too because I was the one who wrote it down on the paper was $300 April 4th and $300 April 18th  and they told me to come in as I pictured ****** stated to come in. I came in and I asked me for documents that werent provided with the flash drive and it took them 45 mins to come out and say they legally dont have to give me the document it is private for the company although it is my document and has my signature. They said the account wasnt there and she had those document and they couldnt give it to me. And threaten to call the bank an close the deal. So I called the police and they tried to resolve it by giving me food gift cards. ***** the sales manager then told the police they dont have the document anymore they shredded it. But why would you shred it when the payment installment isnt fulfilled yet? Why not keep for situations like this to remind the customer of what they authorized. Because they are lying ! As soon as I left he texted me the a pic of my $2000 cash payment that I made and was asking for when I was at their facility and they stated the accountant was gone and they couldnt get that information along with the authorization of payment installment. This place is crooked and I want to just assure they dont do this to anyone else again !

  I am rejecting this response because: Im looking for them to be held accountable for falsifying documents to obtain a car sale. I want them to be held accountable in the most appropriate way for this matter. They shouldnt be able to get away with this and they have been for quite sometime. I have additional fees added onto my contract that I didnt know about. Read the reviews this is a reoccurring issue.

  Used 2019 ***** Pilot purchased March 23rd, 2025. Car was inspected and test driven. Car was then sent to detailing to be cleaned up for delivery. When I picked up the car the next day, the front floor mats (which were in the rear cargo area) and spare tire had been removed. I was also told that the dealership recently moved and the car key manager was unorganized and that they would send me the 2nd key overnight. I've texted, called and written, and nothing has happened. I am asking that they pay for the replacement items which include 2nd key, $150.00 programmed, front floor mats, $159.99, and spare tire, $129.65.

  

  Business Response

  Dear *** ********,
  

  Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. We appreciate the opportunity to address them.

  Our records confirm that you purchased the 2019 Honda Pilot on March 23, 2025. Our Sales Manager recalls that, due to logistical reasons, you chose to leave the vehicle parked across the street at Gurnee ***** Mall overnight, as you were unable to drive both of your vehicles home that day.

  Please understand that because the vehicle was not in our possession at that pointand we did not have the keyswe were unable to secure or monitor it during that time. If any items were removed while the vehicle was parked in the public lot, its possible that it was left unlocked, which may unfortunately explain the missing items.

  Our management team has made multiple attempts to reach you by phone to gather any documentation or details that might help us corroborate your account. As of now, we have not received any supporting records.
  That said, we truly regret any inconvenience this situation has caused you and are still open to working toward a resolution. If you can provide any additional documentation that may help clarify the circumstances, we would be glad to review it promptly.
  Sincerely,

  They told me specifically the property across the street was under their control and an extension of the dealership. As such, their response is incorrect and misleading.

  This is an attempt to deflect the issue which was removing and or not delivering items agreed to at time of sale.

  Dear Mr. ****************** you for your follow-up and for sharing your continued concerns. We regret that your experience hasnt met expectations and want to reiterate that we are committed to finding a fair resolution.
  Our records show that our teamincluding both ***** and *****has made multiple attempts to reach you by phone and text to resolve this matter. Unfortunately, we have not received a response.
  Regarding the second key, our vehicle acquisition records indicate that the 2019 Honda Pilot came with only one key at the time of purchase. That said, we would be happy to assist you in having a second key made and programmed at our dealer cost, meaning you would pay only what it costs us, not the retail price.
  As for the missing spare tire and front floor mats, our intention was to invite you back to the dealership so we could provide and install replacements at our expense. Since weve been unable to reach you directly, we also want to offer an alternative solution: if you prefer, we can issue you a check in the amount of $289.64 to cover those items.
  To move forward with either option, we kindly ask that you contact us directly. ***** can be reached at ************ and ***** at ************. We're happy to accommodate whichever resolution works best for you.
  We appreciate the opportunity to make this right and hope to hear from you soon.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  Firstly, I have no voicemail messages from anyone named ***** or *****. Your sales representative ****** should have told me there was no second key rather than stating he could find it because the key keeper was a mess and further telling me it would be sent by ***** to me when he did find it.

  The requested compensation is extremely fair and based on actual costs for these items which were promised at time of sale and/or removed during the detail process. I have not inflated any value for these items nor have I added any additional compensation for the inconvenience. I have offered a fair and reasonable rresolution. Meeting me halfway is simply not fair.

  I respectfully ask you make this right and send a check for the full amount requested to my home address.

  I purchased the vehicle on 12/27/2024 for $33,136. After the purchase I canceled the warranty that I purchased through the dealership. I haven't received the refund of $4000 as of yet. Also I paid for taxes and plates. They gave me a 90 day temporary tag that expires on 3/27/2025. I haven't received my plates as of 3/24/2025 and continue to get put on terminal hold with no resolution.

  Dr. ******************* you for bringing this to our attention. Weve thoroughly reviewed all records related to this matter. According to our findings, the transaction was canceled, and the down payment was reversed to your Mastercard.
  
  We sincerely apologize for the poor experience you had with our company. While its not an excuse, we want to be transparent after your purchase on Saturday, we began moving to a new facility on Monday evening and transitioning to a new phone system. Unfortunately, these changes contributed to the breakdown in communication and service you experienced.
  
  Your trusted advisor was unresponsive, the managers at both locations should have been more involved, and the call center failed to provide timely solutions, only offering apologies and assurances that you were a priority. This is unacceptable, and we take full responsibility.
  
  Once again, we deeply apologize for falling short of the experience you deserve.

  In December I found a vehicle at ************ that I wanted to look at. So I took my father and one year old son and drove 2 hours to look at the truck. We test drove and everything was good. I told them I could not afford my payment to be over $420.00 a month. So they agreed and we signed papers. Then I didn't hear who I needed to pay until I get a text message from a place saying my payment was late. Then I see that my payment is $465.00 a month which i told them multiple times was over what I could afford every month. The only reason I purchased was because the deal we made was $420 a month. They will be hearing from me and I'll tell everyone i know they can't be trusted. Only reason I'm not driving up there to give them the truck back is they don't have my old truck. Businesses like this should not be able to stay open.

  Dear Mr. *************** you for reaching out and giving us the opportunity to review your concerns regarding your vehicle purchase. After carefully reviewing all documents related to your transaction, we found that the monthly payment amount is clearly outlined in the paperwork you signed at the time of purchase.
  We understand that the car-buying process can be lengthy and sometimes details may be misremembered. To help clarify, please review the attached Sales Waiver, which clearly shows your agreed-upon monthly payment and all associated terms.

  Price of car was different after I signed my paperwork. They listed online for ****** and wanted to add on warranty for tires and low **** which I refused. I did get bumper to bumper warranty which they said was the reason car was 31,800$ i signed paperwork and now looking over it total for car is 35,800$?? So after I signed original paperwork it was changed and sent in??? I was also charged taxes and fees but now got a bill for 300$ in taxes. This dealership should be closed down. I was also told I had 2weeks 500miles to test car out? That was a lie and my wife and 13year old daughter both heard them say it.
