Corona Auto Sales

Don’t trust this auto car lot. They are scam artist and will not help get your car back from repo. They will default on your car after 2 weeks of no pay. Don’t waste your time getting a car from here. Not worth it at all. When I told them that I wanted to do bi weekly they still charged me the late fees. Try somewhere else don’t buy here… Plus on top on that every time you call them their phone is always on busy tone. What kinda business is it when they never answer their phone.

Our daughter purchased a car (2006 Equinox) from Corona Auto Sales the first week of August. Took it home and in 3 days, it had a dead battery. They purchased a battery and then a couple of days later, they had to take it back to them because the car wasn’t running right — turns out that a spark plug had to be changed — then about a week later the car overheated. She called the dealership (she had purchased and had to finance the extra warranty as well) and was told to take it to one of their approved mechanics. She did — after two days she was told it was done ($ 575 for warranty work and $ 172 out of her pocket). My husband picked up the car and was driving it back to our daughter’s house and it started to overheat about 2 blocks from her house, he quickly pulled the car in her driveway and opened the hood and thank heavens his arm was covering most of his face — the radiator exploded and blew the boiling antifreeze all over his arm, face, chest and back. He was able to grab our daughters’ garden hose and soak himself down. Our daughter got ice on him as he was trying to soak the overly hot engine. He called the Corona dealership and told them what happened — told them that the car was not driveable and what were they going to do about this. After quite a bit of arguing he was able to make the loan contract null and void for her, but they flat out refused to give back her $ 1000 down payment. This is definitely not a company to deal with. They knew my husband had to be seen at the Winter Haven Urgent Care for his burns and has been seen so far three times and their comment to my husband was — ‘don’t you know what AS IS means’. This is not how you run a business.
