Business ProfileforD.E.L. Motors Company

My husband and I bought a 2014 used Chevy Malibu with roughly 119,000 miles on it not even two months ago. Out of those two months, we have only been able to drive the car for ONE week. When my husband test drove the car, everything appeared to run smoothly. When we picked up the keys the next day, the car immediately began making an intense squealing noise and one of the headlights was out. We then called D.E.L. Motors immediately and asked to bring the car back as my husband and I desperately needed a car and paid all cash (which is significant for us as we are college students). We were told that they "do not do that kind of thing," so we ended up driving the car home. The squealing began to intensify and after waiting for their recommended dealership in our area to look at the car, which would have taken almost two weeks, we opted to take it to a trusted mechanic. Upon inspection the car had a water pump that was leaking, a bad alternator belt, and the AC compressor was the WRONG one for the car. All of this transpired after Rick had told us that their "mechanic" (I use this term very loosely as they missed all of the afore mentioned issues with the car) had changed all the belts and inspected the car. It then took almost a whole week for Rick to work out the payment method to the mechanic we chose after he communicated only after we called him. Mind you, he also ignored us for a few days as well citing that he was "very busy". On top of this, the dealership refused to pay for a new AC compressor since it wasn't "their fault," yet they somehow missed it upon their inspection of the car before they sold it to us. My husband and I are both aware of the dangers of buying a used car, but the extent to which we have had issues is beyond ridiculous. We have had further issues with the car and today marks the third time we have had to take it into a mechanic to look at it. Please do not buy from this company for any reason.
