Mike Rinke was a good salesman for our purchase.

Mike Rinke was a good salesman for our purchase. Honest, and helpful to us in buying our new Telluride. He asked what we were looking for and where we felt comfortable per month. He was not pushy and no pressure to hurry to buy the first thing we seen. His product knowledge and experience was a great advantage to have when purchasing a new vehicle.

Unfortunately they scammed the xxxx out of me and put me

Unfortunately they scammed the xxxx out of me and put me in a car that broke down within a week of having it and still has a lot of issues. Got told there was nothing they could do about it and when I went to pick up the car after they looked at it, I got called by Hunter Horn and told the some of the paperwork I filled out never even went through or was signed. When I asked if they could just take the car back they said that the paperwork was finalized but how is it finalized if part of it isn't even signed off on. However, Hannah was very nice and straight forward about not being able to find/fix the issues with my vehicle.

They scammed tf outta me.

They scammed tf outta me. After a week of having the car it broke down and would randomly turn off and the screen functions and USB stopped working and I'm still having these issues. Got told there was nothing they could do about it and before I went to pick up the car after they looked at it, I got called and told that some of the paperwork I filled out never even went through or was signed. When I asked if they could just take the car back they said that the paperwork was finalized but how is it finalized if part of it isn't even signed off on. It's like after you take the car off their lot, they don't give a crap and essentially tell you it's not their problem. Only person who was genuinely nice was Hannah in the service department.

I hate my ride. Can't even drive for 15 minutes without it shutting off. I wonder where yall learned to not take accountability for the things yall scam people into getting. Where do you think yall learned that from?

Nathaniel was excellent, the car was in and out in less

Nathaniel was excellent, the car was in and out in less than the promised time, and everything was performed perfectly. Waiting area is clean and comfortable, the car was vacuumed, and we could not be happier with Germain Kia.
