Dealership Sales Review

Avoid this Dealership Like the Plague
Written by BW on 11/07/2023

Metro Honda was a terrible experience. on 10/25 I went in to look at a Honda Civic, but was told that the car wasn't ready for sale despite being listed on the website. I was shown a few other cars as well. I settled on a 2016 Subaru Forester that was listed online in the same price range as the Honda and went for a test drive. The actual price was several thousand dollars more than the price listed online. It seemed fine and I signed the papers on it and drove it home after scheduling some service to fix an A/C issue. I was promised that the dealership would cover the cost of that expense and any other issue that cropped up. When I got to my service appointment on the 28th, the shop was slammed and I was asked to reschedule, which I did for 11/4. The day before my new appointment, the engine started smoking and I immediately let the dealership know. I was encouraged to bring the car in and let the shop know what happened. After dropping off the car and waiting several hours I was told that the dealership wouldn't be servicing the vehicle at all since it was sold "as is", not even the A/C issue that I was promised. I took the car the Subaru dealership where it was last serviced before being sold to Metro and they told me that the previous owner brought the car in with the smoking engine issue before selling it, never had it addressed (which is why the Carfax didn't list it) and then sold it to Metro. I was sold a car that had catastrophic engine damage when the dealership bought it, and now I'm on the hook for $6-$7K to fully replace the engine. Metro wouldn't connect me to the General Manager and is not blocking my calls to the dealership. Avoid this dealership like the plague.
