Great experience buying a car from Danielle.

Great experience buying a car from Danielle. Recent above and beyond to find me the exact car I wanted. She got it to me quickly and was very upfront about pricing options. She showed me how the car worked. It’s electric so there’s a big learning curve but she was very knowledgeable and very sweet. Would buy another car here anytime.

I recently purchased an F350 from Romeo Ford .

I recently purchased an F350 from Romeo Ford .I highly recommend my salesperson Gabriel. She kept in contact via text until she found the exact vehicle I wanted . Once at the dealership she worked hard to get me into the vehicle and I left that night in my new truck . Easy and very satisfied.

I bought a used car from these harlequins, after 2

I bought a used car from these harlequins, after 2 months of legally owning the car ( btw it took 2 months for the title to arrive with zero explanation) I heard a sound coming from the engine, took it to my mechanic who I’ve had a 8 yr professional relationship with and he told me there was metal in the oil pan that a 1 year apprentice would of been able to see from a faulty engine and that the engine had to be replaced. I was obviously concerned but since I purchased a “premium extended warranty that I was assured by the finance guy would cover “worse case scenarios” and cover labor cost and parts , like say…. needing a new engine…. Wrong, dead wrong! I have to pay $6000 out of pocket plus $500 to have the car diagnosed as per the insurance companies protocol not to mention the pure inconvenience and expense of being without a car for 6 weeks. Correspondence with them fell on deaf ears and when we did talk it was to the tune of “well these things happen and that there are no guarantees. Not only was my car a dud the warranty they sold me was too . I had concerns about the car prior to buying but I’m no mechanic so I went with their recommendation that I was buying a great car and if anything goes wrong at least you have piece of mind having a warranty . These guys are exactly the reason car salesmen and dealerships have a bad rep. You have now made it harder for the next salesperson. “Promise high and deliver low “should be their motto, I feel their incompetence is habitual from the bottom to the tippy top. As a small business owner in this small community, the importance of word of mouth and backing up my service/products is never lost on me. I can’t say the same for Romeo, not only have they lost any future sales from me but the potential loss of sales from anyone who happens to cross my path and hear about my experience. Shame on them and their horrendous business practices. My advice to you, go elsewhere! There is a reason why the reviews are all BAD!

Dealer response

London Grammar or Anthony S.- The response you see from me goes out quickly as a courtesy so you can contact me if I don't contact you first. I would like to address your concerns but I can't locate you by your "user names", London Grammar which you post under in DealerRater or your other user name, Anthony S. which you use on your Yelp feedback. I noticed you posted the exact same complaint on each platform. Please reach out to me directly at 518-741-8790, -Patty Romeo-VanDyke.

Consumer response

As you can see from the cut and paste, quite frankly , Pavlovian response from “Patty” they are all smoke and mirrors . If they really were sincere they have ALL your contact info , they could reach out to you if they really wanted to , but they are maligners. My sincere advice to you, don”t bother with them, they are a tin pot run company of modern day pirates, with no captain, no accountability no oversight or concern that their incompetence directly affects people..

Consumer response

This car is the car that keeps on giving !! I had to pay $7000 out of pocket to get a new engine $900 to replace all rusted rotors and new oxygen sensor, not to mention the pure inconvenience of being without a car for 3 months all this 2 months and 1 week after I bought the car . Things are hard enough financially these days for folks this was a tough one for me and my family we will be ok but I really worry for other folks . .As a small business owner I have a conscience in my craft and it’s outcomes . I can’t even imagine conducting myself in the same manner as these charlatans. As a consumer of the heavily lobbied auto industry you have no recourse except for righting a review in the hopes people see this , so do your due diligence when researching where to buy your next car , my only regret is I didn’t do mine because if I had I would have seen similar reviews and avoiding buying from them like the plague.

Dealer response

Anthony Shepherd or London Grammar... sorry you feel this way. We certainly do not intend for any of our customers to have a bad experience. I don't see that you've contacted us since your original review on 12/24/24. If there's anything new that needs to be discussed, call me. Patty Romeo-VanDyke 518-741-8790.

Consumer response

If you went to a restaurant and had an awful meal why would you ever go back . Hence why I haven’t called you You’ve had ample opportunity to do the right thing but failed miserably.if you think that selling someone a car and 2 months later the engine fails I feel sorry for you . Your lack of action and lack of empathy for the situation tell me everything I need to know .

Overcharged for a job not even done.

Overcharged for a job not even done. Brought my Ford F150 in for an oil leak was supposed to be hooked up to computer not done and-charged 460.00 and not even fixed. I was supposed to get a call back from the service manager regarding this and still waiting.. I had to bring my truck somewheres else to get this resolved. I would not recommend this place for service !!!!!

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to express my

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to express my extreme frustration and disappointment with the lack of response and resolution regarding the tag for my vehicle, which I purchased 45 days ago from Ford Romeo, NY. I have made multiple attempts to contact both Lindsey and the general manager, yet neither has returned my calls or provided any update. After flying to New York to pick up my car and waiting 6 hours at the airport for it to arrive, I drove back to Georgia. Since then, I have been stopped multiple times due to the expired temporary tag. This issue could have been avoided if the dealership had fulfilled its responsibility to process the registration in a timely manner. Despite calling daily, sometimes multiple times a day, I have not received any follow-up from your team. Initially, Lindsey informed me that the third-party company handling the registration required an emissions test. I explained that this was unreasonable, as I have an electric vehicle with no combustible engine to test. Nevertheless, I went to a testing center, only to have the technician confirm what I already knew—an emissions test was not possible for my car. I reported this to Lindsey, who acknowledged the mistake and said she would get back to me. That was over two weeks ago, and I have not heard anything since. The continued delays and lack of communication are unacceptable. I need immediate action to resolve this situation, as I cannot legally drive my vehicle without a valid tag. Please provide a clear update on the status of my registration and ensure this matter is resolved promptly. Sincerely, Leonard

Leonard, I was away since Wednesday and just see your update... I called Lindsay and she is overnighting your plates today. Also, I see that Jonah emailed with you. Sorry I wasn't in the office to handle it for you. Feel free to reach out to me anytime. -Patty

Consumer response

Update: I reached out Patty, Lindsey, and Jonah for a follow up on 10/23 a s still no tag or update. The temp tag is now 4 weeks expired.

Worst experience ever.

Worst experience ever. this car buying experience has been nothing but a nightmare and has been having issues from the moment I drove off the lot. I will never purchase a vehicle from Romeo ever again and will recommend people to go somewhere else for their vehicle needs.

I stopped by the dealership on a Thursday the 18th walked into the showroom and waited almost 10 minutes and not one of the sales persons even acknowledged my presence so I walked out.I received a text message from Christian apologizing and to setup an appointment and come in and see Justin the sales manager so I setup an appointment for July 29th at 530pm, the appointment was confirmed on Saturday July 27th. I left work early and drove to the dealership for my 530pm appointment I arrived at the dealership went in to see Justin only to be told the car was sold this morning. But wait they had other cars similar to the one I wanted. I kindly declined and walked out. They could have had the common courtesy to call me and tell me the car had been sold.

My experiences working with Romeo Ford to purchase a new

My experiences working with Romeo Ford to purchase a new F-150 included misleading website pricing and mistakes made when quoting lease terms. This was a complete waste of my time, these jokers wanted almost double the monthly payment compared to competitors. The only positive is they respond well to text messages
