Who do these people think they are??!!. These people are RUDE, RUDE, RUDE!!!! The lady at the front desk was absolutely condescending and treated me like I was a moron. Really, who has a masters degree? Because I know you don't! Do not be fooled by these jokers. Even if the price says "Bidding price... 8900" and you show up with 9000 you will not get the car for 9000. Go somewhere else where you will be treated better. Give your money to someone who doesn't treat you like crap!…
Horrible Experience.
Definetly check the BBB on Public motors for a more accurate complaint statistic, they are on alert for a large amount of complaints.
I drove to Public motors of Santa Ana to buy a car that was listed at 10,600.00 and I was gonna put 5000.00 down and they come back to me with the vehicle selling for 14000.00, unbelieveable.
So I leave out of there after repeatedly reminding the salesman that he has my license, and as I'm walking across the lot to go home he yells to me what about 11500.00....Pathetic. Not only that, they don't tell you that there is a 400.00 auction fee plus 5% of the total price of the vehicle you have to pay as well, lame.
Don't buy a car from these fools, the low price is bait.
I'm usually not one for writing reviews, but I'm just an average joe trying to buy a car to get around just as many of you probably are. Nobody wants to travel any amount of miles to purchase a vehicle at a particular price only to have it jacked up by thousands once you get there.
I shouldve read the reviews on this place first, wouldve saved me the trip.
Oh yeah and on a side note, all these positive reviews are very cookie cutter, some as you go a few pages back are the same word for word by supposedly completely different people.
And guess who just called me while I was writing this review, yep Public Motors. They want me to drive another 40 miles back down there so they can have another piss poor attempt at trying to hussle me into a car.
I will never bring any business to this company. Be careful cause in the BBB it lists other used car sellers they are affiliated with.…
Questionable positive reviews. Check out the LA Better Business Bureau website to see details of the 96 complaints received over 3 years - think I'll stay away. Also, a quick check of the 10-12 most recent positive reviews show that they have reviewed many of the same places, even though they "live" in different areas. They each seem to see several dentists, and buy several cars and have only great things to say about everyone.…
public motors oc. I just bought my Mercedes from Public Motors in Santa Ana. Greatest deal I found in OC. Great friendly staff. My wife and I felt really confident. The place is awesome. we love the car. I had it checked out this morning by a Fletcher Jones Mercedes Benz and the car is perfect. A+ thank you PUBLIC MOTORS.…
Owner is a COWARD.
These people are LIARS! We drove from Big Bear for a car that they said WAS there I called 3xs before arriving. Each time they said yes the car "is here." I GET THERE AND THEY said it just sold,
another sales person says "outside".. that it sold a week prior, but he could help! What..get the car back here?
1. They DO NOT have a CARFAX report. they show you a "fake" carfax. (the one on one of the cars was different than the one Alex printed.
2. They advertise 275 -300 cars on their web site, NOT EVEN close, try 58 cars on the lot WE COUNTED!
3. Cars smell like garbage, smoke and animals.
Cars are very nasty, two wouldn't start to test drive.
4. I asked about fees, was told two different answers, the real answer is that they have "auction" fees, the cars are over priced and they LIE about a live auction on Weds. night 7p( we got there at 630p-730p NO AUCTION)
We asked when does the auction start, one of the reps smiled and said "this is an auction, we are taking silent bids, what are you looking for?" WHAT AN INSULT, IM LOOKING FOR THE LIVE AUCTION YOU KEEP CALLING ME ABOUT!!
No one would get the owner, I was told he was standing there LOOKING AT US, when we walked toward him..HE WALKED AWAY FAST. A rep named BK walked up and apologized about the car not being there.
A buyer was there yelling for a refund, his car broke down and no one called him back for weeks..Whew, we MADE IT OUT of there.As we were leaving an ignorant poorly dressed, uneducated "ghetto" lady smoking outside says.."sorry baby, but we got more on the other side." WTH is she talking about! Horrible place, READ, READ, READ all reviews and save your gas, money and time!
They spend a lot of energy trying to con you from the first phone call, WARN EVERYONE! Oh, THE PRICE ON AUTO TRADER IS NOT THE SALE PRICE...IT's BAIT! RUN, RUN, RUN! THIS IS THE WORST PLACE and we will warn others!
All other positive reviews must be "fake" like them, Check Pissed dot com, Yelp dot com, BBB dot org they all have more truth about these trashy people!…
