URGENT: MONSTER MOTORS’ NONDISCLOSURE AND WARRANTY FAILURES DEMAND IMMEDIATE RESOLUTION This matter requires immediate executive attention. Monster Motors sold a vehicle without disclosing its Canadian-import status, represented that powertrain warranty protection existed, and has not provided an acceptable response after the engine failed within two months of ownership. The requested outcome is a prompt, accountable resolution that removes the resulting financial and ownership burden from the customer. Expected Actions from Monster Motors • Provide an immediate written response acknowledging the undisclosed Canadian-import status, the warranty representations made at the time of sale, and the subsequent engine failure. • Accept responsibility for resolving the matter rather than directing the customer to stop contacting the dealership or shifting the burden to the warranty provider. • Offer a fair vehicle-level remedy that allows the customer to return, replace, or otherwise transition out of the vehicle without absorbing the financial consequences created by the nondisclosure and warranty issues. • Cover or eliminate the approximately $11,000 repair exposure and any related costs that resulted from the failed warranty coverage. • Correct and coordinate all warranty and title documentation associated with the vehicle’s Canadian origin and Arkansas title transfer. • Provide a defined resolution timeline, a designated decision-maker, and written confirmation of all commitments. Monster Motors had an obligation to provide accurate information, disclose material facts, and stand behind the vehicle and warranty products it sold. It failed to meet those obligations and failed me as a customer. I will continue pursuing every available avenue until this matter is properly addressed.

Monster Motors takes customer concerns seriously, but we believe several important details have been misrepresented in this review. We fully disclose known vehicle history on every car. We supply car fax at no charge on every vehicle publicly prior to the sale and at the time of purchase. The warranty was disclosed and documented and in place. In fact the information relayed to us is the warranty company approved the claim for the failed components. It is also our understanding there is additional engine damage due to owner negligence that is not covered. Unfortunately we are not aware of any company or warranty that pays to repair damage caused by the owner. We respectfully request the reviewer remove this review as claims made are inaccurate, libelous, and misleading.
Don't buy from this dealership they sell Canadian imports and don't tell the costumer. They sell fraudulent warranty to go with the fraudulent vehicles they sell. The owner will not help you and you are told your on your own and don't call anymore. DONT BUY FROM THIS DEALERSHIP

Tingting, Monster Motors takes allegations of fraud and misrepresentation seriously. However, we are unable to identify a customer or vehicle purchase associated with your review. Canadian-origin vehicles can be legally imported and sold in the United States, and their country of origin does not inherently make them fraudulent. Likewise, vehicle service contracts are governed by their specific terms and conditions and does not inherently make them fraudulent or invalid. We welcome legitimate feedback from customers and take pride in maintaining transparency throughout the vehicle purchasing process. However, we are concerned by the publication of serious allegations without sufficient information to verify the transaction or investigate the claims. If you have personally purchased a vehicle from Monster Motors, we encourage you to contact our management team with your purchase information so we can properly address your concerns.
BUYER BEWARE — 85+ HOURS TO RESOLVE A VEHICLE PURCHASE! My husband and I purchased a 2018 Toyota Highlander Limited from Monster Motors in Michigan for approximately $30,000. Shortly afterward, we discovered the rear AC did not work, the AC lines had previously been cut, and the undercarriage had extensive rust and corrosion. None of these issues were disclosed before the sale. What followed was an incredibly frustrating ordeal that consumed more than 85 hours of our time, including inspections, documentation, repeated negotiations, and travel between our home in Georgia and Michigan. Although Monster Motors initially agreed to unwind the original sale, management later reversed that position. We were told by sales manager Hayden that we either had to leave with a replacement vehicle or take back the original rusted Highlander. Even the replacement 2020 Highlander had issues, and we found ourselves negotiating over approximately $500 in repairs after everything we had already endured. Our experience with management, particularly General Manager Karley, was extremely disappointing. We found the process unnecessarily adversarial, communication inconsistent, and the level of customer care far below what we expected. To be fair, our salesman and the finance representative were pleasant and professional, and a few other employees were helpful. We genuinely appreciated their kindness. Ultimately, Monster Motors did resolve the situation, but a resolution does not erase the stress, inconvenience, and extraordinary effort required to get there. We were also dealing with the sudden death of a family member during this ordeal, making the experience even more difficult. My advice: Have ANY vehicle independently inspected, including the undercarriage, verify every advertised feature, and get EVERY agreement in writing. After spending approximately $30,000 and more than 85 hours trying to resolve this situation, we cannot recommend Monster Motors. Good customer service isn’t just about making the sale. It’s about standing behind what you sell and honoring your word when problems arise.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. While we're disappointed that your experience did not meet your expectations, we believe it's important to acknowledge that Monster Motors worked with you to reach a resolution. When concerns were brought to our attention regarding your original Toyota Highlander, our management team worked toward a solution that ultimately included exchanging the vehicle for a newer model. While we understand the process involved time and communication, we made efforts to address your concerns and reach an agreeable outcome. Purchasing a pre-owned vehicle can sometimes present unexpected challenges, and our goal is to work through those situations fairly and professionally. Although we recognize that we may not always agree on every aspect of the process, we remain committed to finding reasonable solutions when concerns arise. We appreciate your acknowledgment of our sales and finance team members and the positive interactions you had with them. We also extend our condolences for your family's loss. Thank you for the opportunity to address your concerns and work toward a resolution.
We would like to clarify that our previous response was not intended to suggest the replacement vehicle was identical to the original purchase, but rather to acknowledge the efforts made by Monster Motors to reach a resolution. Prior to purchasing, customers are provided the opportunity to inspect, test drive, and arrange independent inspections of our pre-owned vehicles before purchase to ensure a customers comfortability with their investment. The original Toyota Highlander that was purchased was driven from Michigan to Georgia and back without reported drivability concerns. The concerns subsequently raised involved the rear air conditioning lines and undercarriage corrosion. Despite the vehicle having been driven and inspected by the customer prior to purchase and acceptance of it's as-is condition, Monster Motors offered to facilitate an exchange as a gesture of goodwill. Finding a suitable replacement required balancing your specific preferences, desired features, and budget with available pre-owned inventory. We also arranged to bring an additional vehicle from our Tennessee location to Michigan at no additional cost to provide another option. As a pre-owned dealership, we cannot guarantee that an identical vehicle with the same year, mileage, trim level, and features will be available. However, our team made considerable efforts to accommodate your requests and provide alternatives, ultimately reaching a resolution that was agreed upon. We recognize that you remain dissatisfied with the experience, but we respectfully disagree with the characterization that Monster Motors was unwilling to assist. Our team dedicated significant time, resources, and additional accommodations to resolving your concerns. While we understand that the outcome may not have met every expectation, we stand behind the efforts made by our team to work toward a reasonable resolution.
You left off the the 2020 that I purchased that was rusted out and was a PLATINUM model was the one I liked. Purchasing one year newer in the trade which had 20k more miles than the original we purchased that was rusted and a lesser package model didn’t make up for anything at all. Your GM is rude and seems to not be well-suited to her position. We had to pretty much demand help because your sales manager Hayden said we could leave with NOTHING if we didn’t accept this trade. so to be fair, you didn’t tell the story accurately. We will NEVER do biz with you all again. BUYERS, TAIR THESE CARS TO HE CHECKED BEFOE YOU VIY TRHEM. They are from CANADA auctions and major rust is a huge concern.
Had an extremely easy going time here at Monster Mosters. Everyone was very kind and Thomas Dodson my salesman busted his butt to get this finished within the little amount of time he had. Great place to buy a vehicle. Would highly recommend it and im definitely going to use them in the future

Kyle, thank you for choosing Monster Motors and sharing your experience! We're glad Thomas Dodson went above and beyond to make your vehicle purchase quick, easy, and stress-free, especially with your limited time. Our team takes pride in providing friendly, efficient service, and it's great to hear Thomas delivered just that. We truly appreciate your recommendation and your trust in Monster Motors. Enjoy your new ride!
These people cannot be trusted. I called because I was interested in buying a vehicle; they asked for my information, but I didn't provide any details at first. That day, they kept insisting I leave a non-refundable $500 deposit to hold the vehicle, but I didn't give them an answer. The following week, they asked again if I was still interested; I said yes, and they dropped the price by nearly $5,000. I gave them my information, and they ran my credit with three different agencies without my consent. They asked for the $500 deposit again. I told the salesperson (Skyler) that I had seen reviews on CarGurus from many people claiming to have been scammed by this dealership. The next day—since I hadn't sent the deposit—the car was suddenly no longer available, even though it had been sitting at the dealership for nearly five months. My advice to everyone is not to trust these thieves, liars, and dishonest people. They just want you to sign a document stating the deposit is non-refundable so they can later tell you the car has already been sold. I hope the FBI soon uncovers the schemes of these crooks.

Josh, we're disappointed to hear your experience with Monster Motors left you feeling this way. We'd like to clarify a few points regarding our vehicle purchasing process. Our inventory is available to all interested buyers including other dealerships at auction, and a vehicle's price reduction can naturally generate additional interest. This is precisely why we offer customers the option to place a deposit to secure a vehicle. Without a deposit or completed purchase, a vehicle remains available for sale to other customers. Our goal is to prevent situations where a customer believes a vehicle is being held for them, only to discover it has been purchased by someone else. Regarding your concerns about credit inquiries, we take those allegations seriously and encourage you to contact our management team if you have any additional questions. We understand the frustration of missing out on a vehicle you were interested in, but a vehicle becoming unavailable after you declined to reserve it does not indicate dishonest business practices. Monster Motors strives to provide a transparent purchasing experience, and we welcome the opportunity to address any specific concerns directly.
I bought a vehicle from them and was told it had their 39 point inspection done. They drove it to me and was hit in the front before it even reached me. I still took delivery as they said damage will be paid for. Within 2 days of receiving vehicle there a noticable vibration in the driveline. I tried multiple times to contact and was hung up on or never received a call back. Finally they agreed to take and diag vehicle. Called and messaged daily to find out issue. 3 days later they were able to inspect and attempt a repair. 5 days later they still have it with no clear diag or repair. Finally got a hold of service manager some days later and said he is submitting a request to warranty to have transmission replaced. 2 weeks later and no word on warranty claim. I ask for warrranty companys number to call myself. Come to find out they are trying to charge the aftermarket warranty that i didnt want,not the dealer provided 1 month 1,000 mile warranty. It has been well over a month since purchasing at this moment and still no vehicle..Stay Away

We take customer concerns seriously and would like to clarify several points regarding this situation. While we are unable to verify a vehicle purchase under the name associated with this review, Monster Motors has been actively working to address the concerns described. Our team has gone to considerable lengths to assist, including arranging for the necessary vehicle repairs at our expense, honoring the request to cancel products, and providing a loaner vehicle throughout the repair process to minimize transportation disruptions. A transmission replacement is a significant mechanical repair that requires proper diagnosis, parts availability, and installation time to ensure the work is completed correctly. While we understand the frustration associated with an extended repair timeline, this is a process that may take time to complete. Monster Motors remains committed to completing the necessary repairs and fulfilling the arrangements made. We appreciate the opportunity to clarify the steps taken to assist and resolve this matter.
Horrible dealership practices, hidden fees, and mandatory add ons, to boost profit. Even though on Cars.com and Carfax it says dealer fees included in sale price they still add more fees. All their vehicles have a mandatory low jack they claim to have installed. They charge around $2500 extra for. BEWARE of this DEALERSHIP!

Matthew, thank you for sharing your feedback. At Monster Motors, we take concerns regarding pricing transparency seriously and respectfully disagree with the suggestion that we intentionally conceal fees or misrepresent vehicle pricing. Our mandatory dealership fees are disclosed on our website and vehicle window stickers. Additional products, including LoJack and our Monster Appearance Package, are discussed during the purchasing process, with their associated costs outlined in the purchase documentation for customers to review before signing. We understand the importance of knowing the full cost of a vehicle when comparing dealerships, and we encourage every customer to review an itemized breakdown of their purchase before making a decision. Monster Motors remains committed to providing accurate information, transparent pricing, and a professional vehicle shopping experience.

Jean, thank you for sharing your feedback. At Monster Motors, we strive to provide accurate and detailed information about every vehicle in our inventory. However, as disclosed on our website, vehicle listings and descriptions are subject to errors, and customers are encouraged to independently verify vehicle specifications, trim levels, features, and equipment prior to purchase. Every customer has the opportunity to inspect and test drive a vehicle, ask questions, and review the purchase documentation before finalizing their decision. While we understand your disappointment regarding the trim level and subsequent repairs, an error in an online listing does not necessarily reflect an intentional misrepresentation. We encourage customers to verify that a vehicle meets their expectations before completing a purchase and remain committed to providing a transparent and informative car-buying experience at Monster Motors.
Robert and the team at Monster Motors were extremely helpful and friendly to work with. From start to finish, they helped us through the process and made it very easy. I highly recommend Monster Motors and Robert if you are in the process of looking for a new vehicle.

AnnMarie, thank you for choosing Monster Motors! We're thrilled to hear that Robert and the rest of our team made your vehicle buying experience easy and enjoyable from start to finish. Providing friendly, helpful service and making the car-buying process as smooth as possible is exactly what we strive for. We truly appreciate your business, kind words, and recommendation of Robert and Monster Motors. Enjoy your new ride!
The sell was great. We noted the hands-free hatch did not work and were told by Aiden no problem we will fix it. They tried to fix and could not, sent to local dealer, they also could not fix. Odd the vehicle is still under the original warranty. But it can not be fixed. Then it develops transmission problems. The vehicle has been in for repairs for 8 out of the roughly 40 days we have owned it, and is back in the shop again. All we are told is how sorry they are, but, we did not ask for a charter reference, we thought we were buying a reliable vehicle, a 2023 Yukon with under 26,000 miles at the time of purchase. At first we thought we had found a good place to purchase vehicles and told other positive things about our experience. No more we will not go back and will tell everyone we know they are simply only interested in the sale.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the mechanical concerns you've experienced with your 2023 GMC Yukon. We understand how frustrating unexpected repairs can be, particularly when purchasing a newer, low-mileage vehicle. We would like to clarify that Monster Motors made efforts to address the hands-free liftgate concern brought to our attention, including arranging for the vehicle to be evaluated by a GM service department. Unfortunately, some mechanical or electronic concerns require manufacturer-level diagnosis and may not have an immediate or straightforward resolution, even through an manufacturer service facility. Regarding the transmission concerns that developed after purchase, unexpected mechanical issues can arise with any pre-owned vehicle, regardless of its age or mileage. While we understand your disappointment, a mechanical issue occurring after the sale does not necessarily indicate that the dealership was aware of or responsible for the condition. The vehicle's remaining manufacturer warranty may provide coverage for qualifying repairs, subject to its terms and conditions. Monster Motors remains committed to assisting customers within the scope of our responsibilities and available warranty coverage. While we regret that your experience has not met your expectations, we respectfully disagree with the suggestion that our dealership is only interested in making a sale. Our efforts to address the initial concern and coordinate additional service demonstrate our willingness to assist beyond the purchase itself.
