Reviews
Write a reviewI purchased a used 2014 Jeep Patriot from New Wave Automotive on June 6, 2026. It was represented to me as inspected/certified and covered by a 3-month/3,000-mile limited powertrain warranty. Serious mechanical problems began immediately. I returned the Jeep approximately four times over the following two months. I was repeatedly told that repairs had been completed and that the vehicle had been test-driven and was operating properly, but the problems returned—on one occasion within approximately two blocks of leaving the dealership. Independent repair documentation later identified continuing problems, including shaking at idle and leaking transmission fluid following the transmission work. I now have two invoices documenting approximately $3,000 in diagnostic work, repairs, or necessary repairs. Despite repeated requests, I have not received complete repair orders, invoices, technician and parts records, inspection/certification documents, warranty paperwork, or records showing my authorization for all the work reportedly performed. The dealership also refused to continue repairs unless I paid additional disputed down-payment money. Because I use this vehicle for Lyft, the repeated problems and extended periods without reliable use of the Jeep caused approximately two months of lost or severely limited income, along with additional repair and transportation expenses. This review describes my personal experience, and I have retained the supporting contracts, messages, photographs, videos, repair invoices, and complaint records. I am asking New Wave Automotive to provide the missing documentation, address the financing discrepancies, honor the warranty as represented, and offer a fair resolution.

If I could give this place a Zero I would! My husband went in looking for a truck, got approved and stated the process. He put money down, the dealership ends up “loosing the key.” We went back at the end of the week to get the truck, still no key and on top of that we were told the bank no longer wanted to do business because the paperwork wasn’t signed in time. They are dumb to think we are going to sign papers for a truck we don’t even have the key for! Anthony could have done a way better job at communicating knowing we live 4 hours away. All they want to do is take peoples money, and give out horrible cars to people. Sussy Sanchez was absolutely rude when we went in to speak to her about what happened. NEVER GET A CAR FROM HERE! Save yourself a horrible experience and go somewhere else!

They are the worst car place in the world. They will not even come pick up my car that I was financing. I have a back surgery and they refuse to come get it. They took a vantage of me because I’m disabled and I can’t read help me sign paperwork. I didn’t know what I was signing and I just want my down payment back

I bought a truck and thought it was wonderful, until I took it to my mechanic . He called me and told me I needed to return the truck right away, and that the truck was very unsafe to drive. Turns out the whole frame was ready to snap in half. It clearly states when you go in that the vehicles are inspected and safe. Its been 10 days now and they will not help me with the loan company. So that means I still have to make the payments and The Wave dealership is not helping to let the loan company they have full position of the vehicle. So therefore I can not purchase another vehicle elsewhere. Do not go here. Its a scam!!

Be aware of this dealer. I bought a truck, found many things wrong after buying. They said it was my fault. Spent over 5000 to have it repaired. Very shady dealer. Won’t fix repairs or take care of things. I would not buy from this dealer.

I stopped in to check out some cars and Alec helped me out a bunch. Very honest, nice and personable. I didn't end up buying anything, but he was just so friendly I had to leave a review to let others know. Ask for Alec.
