    I went in for an ESTIMATE, because my car failed inspection. They told me I could apply for their loan for 6 months with interest free payments. I applied. They told me I was approved for over 2x the cost, and they did the work. 15 minutes before closing (on a Friday) they told my my app was incomplete. Three employees standing around waiting for me while I panicked to figure out what to do. They don't accept online banks. The loan was never approved. It was pre-approved. That's NOT the same thing! They wouldn't let me take my car. They had no suggestions. I maxed out my new credit card with outrageous fees and took a loan on ZIP, spending every last dollar I had for the month for the initial payment. This is 2 weeks before Thanksgiving; there goes dinner. This is after getting scammed out of over $3,000 online, my car failing inspection and needing work (why I was getting an estimate!) and my 14 yr old cat died and I had to pay so I can get his ashes back, and it was not cheap! The woman from the office said some people open an account at a local bank to use the loan- however, this can't possibly be true, because they wanted LAST MONTHS statement showing transactions. I NEVER would have had the work done if I'd known it was only a pre-approval. I was there for almost 4 hours. WHY did they wait until closing to inform me they needed more information? I'd already filled out the application and given all info that could possibly be needed. I thought I was approved, bc that's what I was told. To add insult to injury, they didn't give me my AAA discount. NONE of this was my fault. I'm NOT happy. NOBODY cared, except ***** did get me the wkend to try another bank after I called the next day. Thank you, but I didn't have any transactions in that acct last month, so it didn't count. NOTHING about this feels ethical to me. Don't proceed with work without confirmation you can cover the super inflated cost and survive for the month, unless you don't need your car!
