      My 2013 Chevy Camaro is in the shop at Allstar North on Plank Road in Baton Rouge, LA. I called to schedule a diagnostic test for low pressure message and because the air conditioner was not working and was told the diagnostic charge would be 199.00. I dropped it off Tuesday 7/8/2025 after 6:00 p.m. and left my key in the drop box. On Wednesday, I spoke with ***** and was informed that the charge will be 299.00 because it was an old high mileage car and that would cover a complete check so I explain that since they are charging so much to check the headlights also because wasn’t shining bright. I called on Saturday 7/12/2025 to get an update and ***** said
      they didn’t find anything wrong with the lights, the engine needed to be replaced because parts are hard to find and I would have to pay another 144.46 to find out the true problem with air conditioner. I clearly explained I was bringing my car because the air was not working so why wouldn’t she explain that another test would likely be needed? Has I known that this would not have yielded the reason the air did not work, wouldn’t have bought my car in. Although the low pressure light is on, it has been serving its purpose for my niece. I have another car that I utilize for work and my niece is a student but don’t have to have a car but I do want her to have it. I’m saying all this because I just dint have this type of residual income. I am asking that I be charged in the 199.00 that was initially quoted and I will pick up the car not knowing the true problem or waive the 144.46
      additional air conditioner fee.

      On March 23rd, my car was towed to Kia all star in baton rouge while visiting. I had to leave on Monday without knowing any information regarding the problem with my car because I had to be at work.
      Several days passed and I left several messages for my service advisor, ********. I finally heard back from him after about a week and was told that the issues my car was having was due to the transmission. He couldn't tell me how long the repairs were going to take and I ended up having to contact Ms.**** (service manager) to be told exactly what was wrong with my car - which was a recall. Again, no idea given to how long the repairs would take.
      Since I live in Monroe, I obviously needed some way to get back and forth to work. I called Kia Consumer Affairs, and was told that they would pay for a rental up to $43.00 a day since the problem was a recall. I went to Enterprise rental and rented the bottom tier vehicle for a cost of $57.00 a day.
      A month or so went by and was finally called to say that my car was ready. I had also opted to have the tires rotated, oil changed, and an alignment for a total of $298.57. I went to Baton Rouge on May 5th to pay for and to pick up my car. I explained the situation and gave the receptionist the invoice for the rental and I was told that it would be submitted for refund.
      It has been MONTHS and I have yet to receive that refund. I have called them SEVERAL times and left voice messages for Ms. **** to call me back regarding the same. I have also EMAILED her twice and have YET to have any form of return response.
      They owe me money for the rental.
      I am at my wit's end. I have also emailed the general manager - Mr. ******* - with no response.

      I have copies of all the paper work that was given to me and the proof of payment and the invoice for the rental.

      regarding the rental situation. Please know that we strive to provide the best
      experience for our customers. Unfortunately, in this case, the rental policy
      and any refunds are under Kia's jurisdiction, not All Star. We have spoken with
      a Kia representative to verify this information and have communicated it with
      you to ensure clarity. Additionally, we are committed to assisting you further
      by reaching out to our Kia representative to explore any possible solutions. We
      value your patience and will continue to do our best to support you through

      In May 2025, I brought my vehicle to All Star Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Denham Springs for transmission programming and diagnostics after having a replacement transmission (TRA) installed at another shop. I was told the Transmission Control Module (TCM) needed to be replaced. The dealership completed that work and contacted me on May 12, 2025, stating the vehicle was repaired and ready for pickup.

      I paid $1,494.19 for the repair. However, while waiting for my vehicle, I was informed that the car would not move, and a technician had just concluded (five minutes before clocking out) that the transmission itself was likely faulty. I was told I would need to tow the vehicle. I declined and asked that the issue be fully diagnosed.

      Later, I received a message from the service advisor stating that the issue was now believed to be the battery and battery cables, and that I would be responsible for $227 in parts. I declined again, questioning the accuracy of the diagnosis. The dealership eventually replaced the cables at no cost, and I replaced the battery myself. Despite these additional efforts, the vehicle remained inoperable.

      The dealership advised me to file a warranty claim with ***, the vendor who sold me the transmission. I did so, but *** denied the warranty, stating that All Star’s technicians were unable to provide any clear evidence that the transmission was defective. *** noted that the problem appeared to be a programming or calibration issue, not a part failure.

      As a result, I am left with a non-working vehicle and a loss of $1,494.19 for repairs that never fixed the issue. Had I agreed to the additional $227 charge, I would have spent over $1,700 with no resolution. I was told the vehicle was fixed, charged accordingly, and still never received a functional result. The dealership failed to deliver services as promised and misled me into believing repairs were completed.

      Date: 07/14/2025

      We appreciate your feedback and want to address your
      concerns thoroughly. Our team conducted a detailed diagnostic process and found
      that the TCM replacement was necessary to proceed with programming. After
      replacing the TCM, two of our experienced technicians independently verified
      that the previously installed used transmission was not functioning correctly
      and required replacement. The P167A CALIBRATION MISMATCH code provided clear
      evidence supporting their assessment. We stand by the accuracy of our diagnosis
      and the quality of the services performed. If you have further questions or
      would like to discuss this matter in more detail, please don’t hesitate to
      reach out. Your satisfaction and trust in our work remain our top priorities.

      Complaint: 23568515



      I am rejecting this response because:

      Thank you for the response, but I must respectfully disagree with several points made by All Star Dodge, as their response does not fully reflect my experience or resolve the issue.
      First, I was contacted by All Star Dodge on May 12, 2025, and informed that my vehicle was repaired and ready for pickup. I paid $1,494.19 in good faith, expecting the issue to be resolved. However, after payment, I was then told the vehicle would not move  a clear contradiction of their prior communication and an unacceptable practice.
      Second, All Star Dodge claims that their diagnosis specifically the P167A Calibration Mismatch code confirmed the transmission was defective. However, when I contacted *** (the supplier of the transmission) to file a warranty claim based on this diagnosis, *** denied the warranty, stating:
      “I’m not really seeing any way this can be a fault with the TRA itself. Something is just not programmed and/or calibrated properly.”
      This indicates that All Star's technicians were unable to provide a clear and conclusive technical explanation, and that their diagnosis was not sufficient to support a warranty claim, leaving me without support from either party.
      Third, the response to this complaint was issued by ***** ******, whose first day as Service Manager was June 2, 2025 — nearly three weeks after I was told the vehicle was repaired and paid for the services. His comments do not reflect firsthand knowledge of my situation. In fact, June 2 was the day I requested the service department re-evaluate the issue because the car was still not operational. Therefore, Scott’s statement lacks direct context for the decisions and actions that occurred prior to his involvement.
      Additionally, after I refused to tow the vehicle following the first failed diagnosis, I was later told that the issue was actually due to the battery and battery terminals. I replaced the battery, and All Star replaced the terminals at no charge — yet the vehicle still did not function. This only added to the confusion and shows a continued pattern of misdiagnosis.
      In summary:
      I was told the vehicle was fixed and paid for a repair that produced no result.
      The diagnosis was not accepted by ***, who denied the warranty.
      The diagnosis kept changing, and the vehicle was never fixed.
      The person responding to this complaint was not even employed during the key events.
      I am requesting a full refund of $1,494.19 for services that did not result in a functioning vehicle. The handling of this issue was unprofessional, misleading, and unfair to me as a paying customer.


      Sincerely,

      During late 2023, the availability of certain parts was
      severely limited due to supply chain constraints. At the time of the customer's
      last visit, which occurred in early September 2023, our supply levels were
      restricted, and unfortunately, we were unable to fulfill all requests
      immediately.
      Moving into 2024 and continuing into 2025, the situation
      has significantly improved, with supplies becoming readily available on a
      consistent basis. The parts that the customer requires are now in stock but are
      ordered on an individual basis to ensure accuracy and proper allocation.
      According to our service records, the customer has not
      returned since their visit on September 5, 2023. We would be happy to assist
      further by placing an order for the necessary parts, but we kindly request that
      the customer visit us to confirm a few important details. Once confirmed, we
      will proceed to schedule a convenient appointment for the completion of the
      required repairs.
      We apologize for any inconvenience caused during the supply
      shortage in 2023 and are dedicated to providing timely and efficient service
      moving forward.

      I purchased a 2024 equinox in September 30th. I traded in a 21 ford bronco and provided a title the same date. My temp tag has been expired since 11/29/24. I still haven’t received a registration. My other vehicle that I traded for a completely separate vehicle and a completely separate deal still had to pay off, and I was waiting for my title to come in from out of state. Allstar automotive group told me I needed to turn in my title before I could receive my registration because they already sold the other vehicle, They told me I would not get my registration until I gave them the title to which I explained to them I had not received it in the mail. At this time they have received both titles and still have refused contact/resolution. My vehicle has now had an expired Temporary tag for over 45 days I have contacted the general manager ***** *******, my sales person ***** ********, the finance manager Wes, with no resolution and no answer. I paid money as part of the deal for all star to file all of the paperwork to which they have not done. I have been ignored at every point of contact. I contacted by text the sales person and told him I would be filing a bbb claim, to which he said “I don’t blame you”. They are now holding my registration hostage, ignoring me, and causing extreme strife as my wife is unable to drive anywhere legally and attends school full time, and cares for our 3 year old son. What happens if there is an emergency and a vehicle is needed. Now my wife is being forced to drive illegally. I want this solved. I want the documentation fees discounted or adjusted to credit me back for the blatant disregard to the required documentation and the shameful actions of the Allstar automotive group. To summarize again, over 45 days of having an inoperable vehicle due to Allstar and the expired tag and temporary registration. I want my wife to have a legal registration a legal car and adjustments made.

      It’s clear that there have been some challenges,
      particularly with obtaining and processing the necessary titles and
      registrations. Due to miscommunication with the Florida DMV, the title was
      delayed in getting to you.

      Moving forward, we’ll take additional steps to ensure that
      any discrepancies or delays in title processing are addressed more proactively.
      We will also verify procedures concerning registration decals to confirm
      whether they are being mailed directly to customers or if further action is
      needed on our end. If you have any additional concerns or suggestions, please
      don't hesitate to share them, as we value your feedback and are committed to
      improving our processes.

      Complaint: 22827852



      I am rejecting this response because:

      The aforementioned title you are referencing as confusion with DMV was for a separate vehicle and a separate deal altogether. I was notified by your sales manager last night 1/29/30 that the OOST and filing for registration was sent off in October. 2 vehicles were purchased the same day, the title for the ford bronco was provided the day of the vehicle purchase which is for the equinox registration. So the title being used as an excuse was for a completely different deal. 2 months with an expired temporary tag, still nothing but broad statements and inaction from general managers down to sales people. I paid 425$ for a documentation and processing fee to which was clearly not completed, thus I paid for a service in which wasn’t provided. Additionally, the legal risk of driving an illegal unregistered vehicle and no solution. A new temporary tag should have been issued long ago to prevent my family from the risk of legal recourse by driving an expired license plate. This is due to All Star automotive’s inaction and lack of care to their customers and false business practices such as charging for paperwork and not executing on their legal obligation. I am demanding a refund on my documentation fee of 425$ and a swift and legitimate resolution (registration of my vehicle) for my family. Thank you in advance for your consideration. 


      Sincerely,

      Dear Mrs. ********
      Thank you for
      reaching out and sharing your concerns. We understand your frustration
      regarding the delay in your vehicle registration and sincerely apologize for
      any inconvenience this has caused.

      While we acknowledge
      your dissatisfaction with the timeline, we want to clarify that our team has
      been actively working to process your registration in accordance with state
      regulations and the information provided at the time of purchase. Based on our
      records, there were unforeseen delays related to the documentation required to
      complete the process. However, we do take full responsibility for ensuring the
      registration is finalized as quickly as possible.

      Regarding the
      documentation and processing fee, this charge covers the administrative work
      associated with processing paperwork, but it does not guarantee immediate
      registration issuance, as this is subject to state processing times and any
      required documentation. That said, we understand your concerns and are happy to
      review your request for a refund further with our management team.

      In the meantime, we
      are actively seeking a resolution to expedite your registration and will
      provide you with an update on the status as soon as possible. Additionally, we
      recognize your concerns regarding the expired temporary tag and will explore
      possible solutions to ensure you and your family are not facing undue hardship.

      We appreciate your
      patience and will follow up with you shortly. Please feel free to reach out if
      you have any additional questions.

      Best regards,

      ***** *******

      We purchased a used 2021 Lexus RX350 from this organization on July 24, 2024. We had gone in the Saturday prior working out details, shown briefly car fax - supposedly no accidents and 50000 mile maintenance done on vehicle or more! We purchased this vehicle to travel to national parks and prior to leaving in early September my husband checked oil, tires, etc. Found oil dirty (we had just put maybe 300 miles on vehicle since purchase) - and found the front drivers side shroud cracked, obviously due to an accident!. AllStar Automotive has so many managers and no one but the finance manager has a card, and we complained. Back & forth - no equitable resolution and in fact one of the "managers" in late September stated we would get a $200 check in 4-6 weeks, after they repaired the shroud and actually changed the oil. We have never seen this check or heard a word of apology or regret for all the lies they told us or true compensation. They keep claiming they did nothing wrong - what is lying then in a business?
      On top of everything else our credit was leaked and we had to put a hold on both our credit reports due to potential fraud. ********* SS# is on the dark web now.

      To Whom It May Concern:

      We have had conversations with
      Mr. ******* and his wife.  An amount was offered to the customer to assist
      with his extended warranty.  The customer has return with a counter offer
      and it is under review.

      I am rejecting this response because:  Right now we are still requesting an extension on  warranty the service work provided by Allstar on the repairs performed by AllStar in September.  We are requesting 5 years on the repairs.  This vehicle is garage kept and has a beautiful paint system right now but we are worried about the future.  

      As soon as this is settled we have agreed to go to the business receive our monetary compensation along with warranty on the work done and sign the hold harmless.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID 22692760, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.  Nothing is perfect of course and I would still never purchase another vehicle from ALLSTAR Automotive, but honestly I just wanted this to go away and not involve lawyers.  Thank you for your assistance.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID 22577797, I did mention that my daughter is at school in Baton Rouge and has her car there so they clearly did not read my complaint all the way through.  In spite of this, I was chasing the general manager for the entire day and while I was not able to reach him, I did leave detailed messages.  My daughter received a call that her vehicle was ready and she was able to pick it up.  This matter can be closed, but I would not the horrific customer service in terms of communication and time they kept the vehicle.
