Unique Auto Center

This review is from my experience buying a 2011 Honda Fit back in September of 2014. I had a mostly wonderful experience at this dealership. I had previously purchased a manual transmission car and my mom owned an automatic. Because I was unable to learn how to drive the manual, we switched cars and I drove hers. It broke down and after a crazy experience, it was clear that I needed to sell my manual and get something I could drive. Having had no credit, I was concerned about getting approved. I began to fill out the online form for Unique and stopped midway. Minutes later I received a call from them that they noticed I started and didn’t finish my credit application. They asked if I saw anything online that interested me and I said yes the Honda Fit. I was pleasantly surprised at how they contacted me and assured me that they would find a car for me despite me being a student with no credit. Within the next few days or so I went in and checked it out. The car was in amazing condition, only a few years old, and I was approved through the first credit union I applied for the loan through. The guy who helped me was awesome too. The test drive was comfortable and the process went very smoothly. My interest rate is extremely low, less than 5% and I didn’t need a cosigner. We were able to work out a deal for the down payment and I drove away a happy girl. My only complaint was that I noticed a few issues within the first week of having the car (such as my power mirrors not working, a few other fuses that have blown) so I wish they would’ve fixed that for me. It was nothing major as I still haven’t gotten it fixed but it would have been nice to have.

So I bought a 2007 GMC Canyon form this joke of a dealership worst investment I have ever made. They are bunch of liars do not buy from them. As soon as I drove it off the lot check engine light went on I took it straight to my mechanic. The map sensor had failed, front brakes were at 30%, A/​C blower only worked on high, shock and struts had also failed, and the differential needed service, and it also needed new headlights. When I called them about it they said well you bought a used car what did you expect!!!

Bad news!!! daughter bought a car from them (I was not present) she was told that the check engine would go off in 50 to a 100 miles they just changed the oil, when I approach them the said they never said that and that they could and was as is, and they could cut the wire to make it go off, I took the car to my mechanic and found out it was a transmission sensor $ 3grand to repair had to start a small claims before they would work with me they paid half. BAD BAD NEWS

It should really be ZERO stars! Do NOT ever buy a car here. Andrew and the rest of the staff here can NOT BE TRUSTED!
I bought a Toyota truck here. I had thought I had inspected the truck well. There appeared to be a coat Rhino Liner sprayed on the undercarriage. It seemed to be OK, for a truck with 190,000 miles. I, of course, didn’t expect perfection. After signing the contract on a Friday, I was told that I couldn’t drive the truck off the lot that day because they needed to do a «safety inspection» on it over the weekend. In hindsight, this was clearly a manipulative tactic to make me feel confident, so I wouldn’t further inspect it myself. The entire undercarriage was rusted out and had been spray painted black (which is illegal to paint over rust and pass it off as ok), as I was about to discover.
After I picked it up on Monday, I drove off the lot, and a few miles down the street, the tail pipe FELL OFF. I immediately turned around and went back to the lot. After I got back to the lot, I showed Andrew what had happened… I was touching different parts of the car that I thought could potentially be loose. Lucky for me, I touched one of the lug nuts. It was so loose, I could undo it with my bare hands!!!
There are SO MANY MORE things that I have found wrong with this car that went through a weekend of «safety inspections,» but I don’t want to write a book here. I just want to help any other consumer who is contemplating buying a car here or doing a repair at their repair shop (they tried to weld chrome-​my tail pipe-​which any skilled mechanic would know is not possible/​safe).
