Business ProfileforShelley Auto Sales & Service

In February of 2023 I was searching Facebook marketplace for used vehicles. I found a 2012 Chevy Cruze for $3,500. I messaged the seller (Shelly’s auto sales in Glasgow Ky) to inquire about the cost and details of the vehicle. I was told the vehicle was in great condition with no issues and that she was in fact changing out the spark plugs before I left to look at the vehicle in person. Upon going to the dealership I inquired about the lights on the dash board indicating problems with the car. The seller told me their on site maintenance team had not yet cleared the codes and that NONE of the codes were still active. I was aware that the trunk button was broken and that I would need to purchase an electronic key fob to get it to open. After doing a test drive the on site mechanic cleared the codes and I was told they would not come back. Two days after purchasing the vehicle ALL codes returned. Shelly’s auto refused responsibility sighting that I signed a “purchase as is” contract, and that any repairs after purchase were mine alone to fix. So far I’ve spent approximately $2,000 in repairs, replacing the entire cooling system, replacing the battery that technically expired in 2016 but officially became a dead cell in March of 2023, replaced the spark plugs, and STILL have over 40 codes to repair and maintain. The vehicle stalls and overheats, and Shelly’s auto refuses to do anything about it. I am not the only person they have lied to and sold defective cars to as after the ordeal I have found multiple people who have gone through similar issues with vehicles bought from said dealership and Shelly’s has refused responsibility. I’ve saved screenshots of my conversation with the seller, all repair codes current to the vehicle, and can contact the mechanic that assisted in repairs for further cost information.
