Tradewinds Motor Center

Fred was my sales person when i came in i asked to test drive a transit van that had 56,000 miles on it and we went on a test drive he was a very good listener to what i was expecting from the deal and what i wanted out of it then i asked to speak to the manager which was Mario. Mario was phenomenal we came to common ground on a great priced vehicle. Nothing but great service and exceeded expectations with the hospitality, price and efforts from both individuals that worked the deal A+ rating in my book!

The dealership was great and so easy to work with. Fred was a great salesman!

They everything in the world to get me in a car and that's exactly what they did I have never been happier at a dealership in my life

They where really friendly and helpful and I was able to get my car in 2 days

If you are considering purchasing a vehicle from Tradewinds Motor Center and expect it to be inspected and free of major defects, I strongly advise you to look elsewhere. Tradewinds sold me a vehicle that had its emissions equipment removed and, consequently, could not pass emissions testing. This major defect was not disclosed to me prior to purchase or in the purchase paperwork. Upon delivery (I was an out-of-state buyer), the check engine light was illuminated, and the vehicle leaked coolant all over my garage and driveway. Immediately, I scanned the vehicle using an OBDII scanner, and emissions-related codes appeared. I spoke with Tim Campbell, the General Manager, over the course of three weeks. He finally committed to paying for me to take the vehicle to an OEM-licensed dealership for diagnostics. The OEM-licensed dealership produced a report indicating that the catalytic converters were missing and a coolant hose needed to be replaced. After I spoke with Tim and offered to send him the report, he informed me that the owner of Tradewinds, Brian Farajipour, had rescinded the offer to pay for diagnostics and was also unwilling to cover any of the repairs required to pass emissions testing in my state. I am now forced to pay $6,200 for repairs in order to operate my vehicle legally. Used car dealerships are plentiful; there are absolutely far better options to consider than Tradewinds Motor Center.

Beware of this seller. I found a vehicle on the website and paid to have it shipped out of state. When it arrive, the check engine light was on and the interior smelled strongly of gasoline. Then, the first time it rained, the interior flooded with 2-3 inches of water. Repairs cost more than $3,000 to get it running properly. I worked with a Tim and a Mike, who after receiving my wire transfer for payment have now gone silent communicating with me. Avoid dealing with them, especially if you are unable to have an independent mechanic look over the vehicle first. They can't be trusted.

I found an Escalade at this dealership and it was absolutely gorgeous. I was so excited to be making the 600mi journey to look at this vehicle. Upon getting there on the outside everything looked perfect until I opened the doors. The vehicle may have been vacuumed but definitely not the level of detail that a $36,000 Escalade should have been... There was black marks all over the tan interior and sand on the back seats, it was just disappointing to say the least. While going around the vehicle I had also noticed that the hood doesn't properly latch. Upon taking the vehicle off of the lot and on the test drive the first thing I noticed is that it rode really rough and Escalades are supposed to float. The second thing I noticed is when I got on the interstate and kicked this supercharged 6.2L engine down it bogged, shuttered horrendously and made God awful noise from the rear end, the salesman that was riding with said nobody drove it like that and I made him aware that anyone who knows anything about superchargers knows that it should get up and go not bog down. After speaking with the manager I was able to get my down payment refunded and he was trying to tell me all this B's about it just needing a tuner added and I let him know it actually needs a custom tune which costs upwards of 2k, the only reason I am writing this review now is because after getting home and returning the rental car, I had to get, I find out that they raised the price a thousand dollars (which they did to me a couple times during this whole process) and listed it on Carfax and their website I hope this reaches the people who go and look at it (there is no way they fixed everything wrong with the vehicle). Very shady business STAY AWAY!!! Just incase anyone is wondering the vehicle in question is currently listed, it is the 2016 Cadillac Escalade ESV Platinum and it is green in color, VIN 1GYS4KKJ9GR102587
