  AMS Vans of Tucker GA sold me a Van while not being licensed to sell vehicles in the state of *******. On Friday 4/4/2025 *** received a wire transfer of $67,500 with the understanding that the vehicle would be delivered to the *************** on 4/9 by 10 a.m., our discharge time. On 4/9 at 10 a.m. they show up with a loaner vehicle stating they can not get a tag for our purchased vehicle. We purchased a rear entry vehicle the loaner is a side entry, and due to the width of the chair my child is using to allow weight shifts, she can not gain entry to the loaner vehicle. *** brings a second van to transport us home but leaves us with the original side entry vehicle. Through this 9 hours process it is discovered that they can not obtain a tag because their dealership license in the state of ******* has expired. I spoke to our salesman on 4/10/25 who informed me he has no time frame on when the dealership issue will be resolved or when to expect delivery of the vehicle. When we explained we needed transportation for potential medical emergencies(my daughter has a traych and paralysis from the chest down) and would need *** to provide an adequate rental until ours could be delivered we were told *** does not do that. When we said we need our money back, we were told 7 to 10 business days. Keep in mind these people are not currently licensed to sell vehicles in *******. *** needs to be removed from ever possibly doing business with special needs individuals. They lack the compassion, understanding and dedication to making the right choices required to be in their line of work. I'm not completely sure in this case we are not bordering on the criminal. As I type this, if something happens to my child right now, what should be less than a 5 minute process to transport for medical care would take 30 minutes or more. PLEASE AVOID ***

  Mr. *****, we are licensed in the state of *******. There was a technical issue with printing the temporary tag which has now been resolved.
  

  We deeply apologize for the issues with delivery and the logistics with loaner vehicles. I will further review with the team and follow-up with you next week.

  Thank you.

  I purchased my 2023 ***** Odyssey in June 2023, and I have been having many issues with the conversion equipment installed by AMS vans. Around November/December 2024, I contacted ****** with tech support concerning my passenger-side sliding door and the ramp. I always include ***** ******** and ******* ********* from the warranty department.***** set me up with an appointment at the ******, ***, location of the AMS van on December 14, 2024. Upon arriving, I was upset that the location was closed and told that the appointment should never have been made because it was closed on weekends. I have been trying to reach the warranty department via email, work phone, and cell phone since December, but no calls or emails have been returned. I am still having the same issue and now find myself having to let the ramp out manually when sitting in my wheelchair. AMS Vans has already conducted false advertisements stating they conduct 134-point vehicle inspections. I have been dealing with issues since I purchased this van.

  I sold my 2020 Chrysler Pacifica (VIN: *****************) to AMS Vans on December 16, 2024.AMS Vans failed to transfer the title within the required 45 days, violating Georgia law (O.C.G.A. 40-3-33).The vehicle is still in my name on Georgia DRIVES, even though someone else registered and insured it on January 14, 2025.AMS Vans falsely claimed they submitted the title to an Ohio titling agency, but the ******** confirmed that no title transfer was ever submitted.Their failure to transfer the title is putting me at legal risk. I could be held responsible for any accidents, traffic violations, or crimes committed by the new owner.

  Purchased 2023 Sienna at the end of the year. It has less than 6000 miles at a price of $75000. This vehicle has been sent back to AMS twice for battery and hybrid system malfunction. Just called again today check engine light is on again, it'll be going back for a third time with same issue. Last time van broke down at ******* and ****** from *** said it's hot out and these batteries are cheap and happens all the time. I had to pay for tow because ****** said I didn't purchase the roadside assistance for another $3600. I would not recommend this company due to business practice of taking advantage of the handicap.

  I had a Van purchased for through me by Workers Comp. and they installed a mobility Networks Iclass lift into it. The lift has failed several times, it was repaired one time through warranty and since then Ive been spending the last six months talking to the company trying to get a service. Recently failed again and they would not honor the ****** mile conversion warranty. They told me I needed to purchase a brand new lift, and they would waive labor installs. The issue with this is that I have to drive from *********** ********** to ******* to have this done. There are no local companies that will service my lift even though they told me they would have a local comp able to service it. The reason for them not honoring the warranty so far this is the lift was made by a company that is now out of business. I dont think that should be my problem. Right now I only have ****** miles on my van and 1500 cycles on the lift. They have stopped calling me back and it was a service manager in ******* that offered the repair. Im asking for a replacement lift. I am stuck at home because I cant drive anywhere. Im a quadriplegic, and this is not right that they would not honor their warranty.

  Today ia 11/8/23 For the last 2 months As well as when i first bought the ***, I made complaints because when i received the handicapped *** it was clearly not a good match for me in terms of my safety. I can not walk safely without assistance. The step up into the *** is much too high for me. Despite my attemps to give the *** back they did not return my calls. Then or now. Today i got a text from AMS Empolyee named ****. I need to stay in touch with BBB so I dont get scammed again. Thanks you

  I purchased a new 2023 ***** EX-L handicap conversion van from AMS vans in late July, 2023. The price of the vehicle exceeded $77,000. The van was supposed to be delivered to my home for a tutorial and inspection between 12 and 4 pm. Instead, AMS delivered late in the evening after dark with damage to the rear bumper. I have ALS (*********************** disease), I breathe mechanically, and purchased the van because I must move a 500 pound motorized, therapeutic wheelchair. Since I received the van, the automatic ramp does not reliably deploy and I am unable to safely get in and out of the van with my chair. Once the issues were known, just days after delivery, I requested a functional, new replacement ***** van. My requests have been made in writing and by phone. AMS has ignored these legitimate requests based on the documented safety issues and the fact that the van is damaged. I have spent hours waiting for repairs in dealerships while traveling outnof town, and was instructed last week and yesterday of my need to drive hours each way through heavy construction zones for yet another repair attempt. I have been stuck in the van in high heat unable to get my chair in and out of the van. AMS has not acted promptly or professionally.

  I purchased a van from them back at the beginning of the year and now the battery keeps going dead, it will not shift out of park when we get it started and there is a waterfall that comes out of the top vents every time it rains. My wife started call three weeks ago and I started calling this week 7-13-23. We can get no one to answer the phone and when we leave a voice message no one will call us back. We have two severely sick daughters that have medical appoints that they can not miss. Now they are missing one on 7-14-23 and will miss one next week unless we can get some one to fix this issue. The van has less that **** miles on it and we paid 80k for it. We need some help!

  Dear ******************,

  I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to you on behalf of the AMS Vans team with an update on the complaint you reported about your van. First and foremost, please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience and stress this situation has caused for you and your family.Your peace of mind and satisfaction are very important to us, and we are committed to resolving any issues promptly.

  We have worked to address the problems you reported, and I'm pleased to inform you that we have resolved them:

  The roof leak issue was traced to the overhead AC unit drain pan which lacked sufficient sealant around the drain connection. Our partner service center applied the necessary sealant to seal the drain hose to the drain pan.

  The issue with the van not shifting out of park was due to ************* being out of sync, which happened because of the battery dying. ************* system has now been re-flashed, rectifying the issue.
  

  Both service center and Chrysler have checked for a parasitic draw which could potentially drain the battery. They found no such issue. However, they did notice that the doors needed to be closed with some force, or a window needed to be cracked open to alleviate back pressure. This may have been contributing to the previous battery drain.

  Service was completed and a thorough test drive was provided to verify the repairs and to ensure that no other issues are present.

  Once again, we deeply regret any inconvenience these issues have caused you. We highly value your trust in our brand, and our primary objective is to ensure that your vehicle meets the quality and reliability you expect from us.
  
  Please feel free to reach out if you have any further issues or concerns. Your satisfaction is of utmost importance to us, and we are here to serve you in any way we can.

  I purchased a new ****** Sienna (VIN *****************) with a new conversion in April 2020. The Sienna and the conversion came with a 3yr/36k mile warranty...currently, the van has ****** miles. **** the course of ownership, I discovered the brake pedal was 'soft' - meaning, at times, I would have to press the brake pedal very far to get the van to stop. During a trip to the mountains, it became perfectly clear, the van did not have enough braking power. I took the van to a local ****** dealership who would not work on the van due to the modification to the van and the rear brake line (not the original equipment). I found a different ****** dealer who was willing to work on the vehicle. I informed AMS that I was taking the van for repair. **** informed me they may/may not reimburse since it was not warranted. I and the dealership considered the removal of the original OEM rear brake line and installation of a longer aftermarket brake line (due to modification) was in fact a part of the conversion and therefore falls under warranty. Attempts to contact AMS have failed...email and voice messages. I would like the $358 reimbursement from 10/27/22 appointment where the brake lines were flushed.
