M & B Auto Sales

DO NOT BUY A VEHICLE FROM M&B AUTOSALES!!! I purchased a 2010 Dodge Journey from M&B Auto Sales on October 13th after responding to an add on Craigs List. I should have been weary when I arrived to the secluded lot with guys just sitting around hanging out. My dad said to me that it looked "shady," but, I was eager to jump at the deal for $5,495.

When I arrived to the lot, they already had the Journey on, which should have been a sign. They had every excuse for every question that we asked, but, we didn't see anything too wrong with it. It was a used car, right? So, you'd expect to have a few MINOR issues. The salesman swore up and down that it was a GREAT vehicle. So...I purchased it.

I got it home from Alexandria to Woodbridge and within an hour, it ran hot. Couldn't get a response from the dealer. Took the truck to Dodge and was told that the radiator cap was the wrong cap for the vehicle...how does THAT happen?

Then the check engine light came on telling us that Cylinder 4 was misfiring. But, no, no, no, there's more...the head gasket is actually blown. I have taken it to two mechanics and have been told that I can have the head gasket replaced for about $3,000 or a new engine!

M&B purposefully sold me the car knowing that the engine was messed up. They knew what they were doing. I have called them SEVERAL times and get the run around. Now, they won't even allow me to speak with the owner. Keep telling me his mother is in the hospital and he will call me back. It's November 30th.

The 30-day tags are now expired and I can't get tags because I need an emissions test performed and it will not pass with the check engine light on. I tried to get an extension but DMV told me that M&B already requested one so they were unable to give another one for this vehicle.

They are FRAUDS and are just trying to take your money.

Absolutely ridiculous and deplorable. They passed themselves off as standup guys.

Please, do not allow yourself to be a victim as I was.
