Vindictive letter from Coughlin Newark

Posted a negative review of sales experience at Coughlin Auto, Newark OH, about what I considered to be a Bait and Switch sales tactic. Then 2 months later, I get a vindictive letter with ridiculous claims about my credit. In the first place, I did not apply for credit through them, so there was no reason for them to run my credit. In the second place, I have excellent credit with a credit score of 848, and a good job. I am now going to send a copy of their letter and my review to the Better Business Bureau, as well as contact corporate. In my opinion, this is a form of harassment from this dealer.

Excellent service on a great deal

Went in uncertain and left very satisfied and happy with everything. Got what I wanted at a price that I wanted and will definitely be buying my next vehicle from there as well.

They change price on you

WARNING.....BAIT AND SWITCH in my opinion. Made a trip to Coughlin Newark Ohio after seeing their sale prices on the internet. Got up there, they wouldn't honor the prices advertised as "Coughlin's Price" . Tried to deal with them, made an offer and they countered back with another offer which was accepted. Then they ran my credit score, which is 840. Then the manager comes out and raises the price of the vehicle $800 plus another $600 for the protection they claimed they put on the car. First of all, the car came from another dealer the day before, so sure that was bogus. In my opinion, they operate a "bait and switch" sales department. Even after they gave me an out the door price, it ended up being more than the higher quoted price. They did agree to take off the $600 protection coating (which probably wasn't done), but refused to even honor their price given in person. Buyer beware!

Chad Chesrown

Chad did an excellent job helping me pick out my new Chevy truck. He as bery informative and did not pressure me to buy my truck. I got a good price and was treated with respect.
