Classic bait-and-switch operation.

Classic bait-and-switch operation. While actively negotiating a vehicle listed at $25,000, the price inexplicably shifted multiple times — first dropping to $19,996 with a so-called “outlet discount,” then jumping to $22,995 with no coherent explanation. To make matters worse, Fredrick informed me they would not honor the clearly advertised $1,000 coupon from their own website. As it turns out, they don’t even own the vehicles — they’re acting as middlemen, farming out inventory to third-party sellers. This is deceptive, unethical, and an insult to any informed consumer. Avoid this dealership at all costs — it’s a textbook example of manipulative, dishonest sales practices.

INTENTIONAL SCAMMERS!

INTENTIONAL SCAMMERS!!! DO NOT GO HERE!!! Was ready to buy a car here after days of communications and asking my questions. Drove an hour after verifying 3 times (including twice the afternoon of) that it was good for me to come out, only to arrive and the car I came for had apparently sold days ago. Salesman tried to claim it was 'too difficult for him to keep track of what car I had inquired about' (when that is his literal job), yet he knew the moment I arrived that the cars he wanted to show me 'weren't the one I came for.' He simultaneously 'didn't know which car he had been talking to me about' yet knew exactly when it had sold and exactly what car I was there for... I left immediately. The listings are still up for that non-existent car several days later all across the internet including on their own website! And they're still taking inquiries! Complete scammers trying to prey on people who may be desperate.

BUYER BEWARE!

BUYER BEWARE! 1st - The salesman, Robert "Champ" Williams, spent the entire test drive talking about how much he was the man in charge but did not want to take the title. The rest of the time was him disparaging the buying habits of Afrians, Asians, and Jewish people 2nd - Be prepared to pay $4000-$6000 over whatever the sticker price is. Robert claimed that was the additional price of Certifying the vehicle and then tried to add additional warranties on. All costs are passed to the buyer 3rd - You'll need the additional warranties. I purchased a vehicle after coming to an acceptable price and the transmission went out literally 24 hours later No apologies, no attempt to make it right. A third part intervened on my behalf and it still took this dealership TWO MONTHS to fix the vehicle. I got my truck back smelling like smoke, extra miles on it, and a huge CD case and nail fungus gel in the console. Everybody you speak with on the phone will lie to you - Ahmal, Robert, "Ray", "Shaq" - nothing was done appropriately. And if anyone from the dealership replies to this review saying that they did anything properly, that's a lie as well. If they respond to this review saying the "We take this seriously" garbage, it's also a lie because it were true they would have responded properly on the front end. Save yourself the trouble and don't deal with these clowns. This dealership is why people hate the car buying experience.

Global Auto is a deceptive dealership.

Global Auto is a deceptive dealership. They sold us a vehicle with a defective transmission, worn out ball joints, and a bad water pump. How does an extensive MD state inspection get approved with this many issues unless something shady is going on. On the test drive we couldn't tell but the day after we brought the vehicle all the dash lights came on. Hard to believe it is a certified vehicle that they state. And no, Global Auto did not honor their 30-day limited warranty in any way. They definitely bad to do ethical business dealings, absolutely no integrity. They buy auction cars so it's hit or miss if you're getting a bad deal. I also didn't like the fact that they ask you to give them a good review so the salesperson you worked with can get paid. I guess that's where most of the 5-star reviews come from. But take it from me - the 1-star ratings are truth. I have never had an ethical dealership sell me a piece of junk. From now on I will only shop at the big name dealerships that I can trust and avoid low level dealership like Global that scam consumers. I now have thousands in repair cost for a super bad purchase. Stay away from Global Auto, they are exceptional con artist!

I’m being forced to write this review because I don’t

I’m being forced to write this review because I don’t like destroying someone’s source of livelihood but this is the height of it al. I went to this dealership 1st time week of July to see a 2019 Honda used car only to be given and interest rate of 17 percent and a co-signer because I’m about 6months in the US with a 3000 dollar down payment. That was too much for me but I couldn’t take any decision because the process was really a very slow one. The guy I went to meet there so unprofessional but he has a way of making you feel like he’s being honest with you. I was getting late for work so I told them I have to leave for work but this guy kept on insisting I finish and it later ended up with making putting something down so I could come back later. Foolishly I gave them 500 dollars and on that same day I called them to let them know I’m no more interested. Right now as I’m talking to you this is the 3rd time I’m going there, they don’t want to refund my money and they were so rude to me. It’s not even about the money but with the way they went about the whole thing. I’m currently talking to my attorney but this is just to let you know the kind of place this is. That place is 45 minutes from my here I live and I went there with Uber to and Fro without getting my money back. I won’t tell you not to go there. That is your choice to make
