    BBB transcribed from typed letter received via US Mail:

    To Whom it May Concern:

    I am writing today because I have a complaint against the Warranty & Gap Insurance with Bob Says Yes of Columbus, Ohio.

    I have made several phone calls over the last 6 months and have taken the paperwork personally to the business to get my refund for the Warranty & Gap Insurance after the car was sold & paid off. I have been patiently waiting without ever a courtesy call back.

    I have enclosed copies of paperwork which as I stated was given to them months ago. (11-6-23) I was in contact with **** ******* & **** ()************. Also, a ***/**** in Finance. 12-1-23 called *** to check on refund and was transferred back to the people who handle that. There was no answer and I left another message. Then I call and talked to **** ******* and he said that it takes 8-10 weeks. On 12-27-23 I called again ###-###-#### to a lady named *****; she said she would call me back and she never did.

    I purchased a vehicle on March 20th and my temporary registration expired May 7th. They still have not gotten my paperwork processed for my permanent registration or my plates. I have to drive with expired tags because I can't afford to Uber everywhere I have go. Every time I check in ***** *******, the title clerk, tells me that everything is on the way but yet nothing has been received. I don't believe they have done anything because my DMV has no record of my VIN in their system. I'm paying for a car that isn't technically mine at this point and I don't know if it ever will be.

    I would like my plates and registration ASAP

    I bought my car December 28, 2023. Around the end of March beginning of April I started hearing brake issues. I took my car to Buyers Audi and did a oil change and they did a full car inspection. I was told that my brakes and rotors need to be replaced for the front and the back. I replaced the front brakes and rotors with national auto service for $617. I called Bob at Bobb automotive and explain to him what I was experiencing. He scheduled a repair at Bob automotive I was there for four hours. Repair was done. I drove for two days and the squeaking appeared again. I contacted Audi. They indicated that the back Brake pads were not greased prior to being applied. Today, May 30, 2024 I’ve been driving for an hour and my car sounds like a bus when I stop. I contacted Bob automotive. They told me they would charge me to inspect the brakes again because they did everything they were supposed to do which cannot be true because if you did a proficient repair job, I shouldn’t hear squeaking like I’m driving a school bus in a luxury car. I would like my issue resolved and my brakes repaired correctly. This is embarrassing. I called the auto dealer who repaired my front brakes and hes willing to replace any time because parts can be faulty. Bobb automotive said no they would l charge me. That’s insane if theirs issues with manufactured parts the automotive should correct and repair.

    I financed a 2018 Honda Accord. The date I left the dealership sensors came on from the front sensing camera. I have consistently reached out to this dealership about the problem. Communication has been no good. I was able to Communicate maybe twice. I was told they would take care of the problem. Since, I have been ignored and have not received any response from anyone from Bobb Automotive.

    I was told by the sales person who sold me the vehicle that it would be taken care of. This issue has disabled the ability to use the cruise control function. I brought the vehicle in to Bobb Automotives service shop for the problem. At this time the service department stated they put all new rotors and brakes on the vehicle, new wipers, and an oil change. I was told there would be some noise coming from the brakes for a day or two to rub coating. There is now a constant grinding/winding noise coming from the tires, not sure which. This noise is louder during braking. This noise also was not present prior to changing brakes and rotors. I was told this would be fixed, I have not had any of my calls or text responded to about fixing this issue which is covered under warranty.

    On March 4, 2024 I purchased a car from this company. They did not deliver the car until 3 weeks later because the car needed repairs that they never disclosed to me until after the purchase. I received the vehicle with a temporary plate because I live in another state. The temporary plate expired on May 6, 2024. I called them and they told me that all of the paperwork for the car was sent to my local DMV office. I called my local DMV office again today and they have not received any paperwork from the dealer. Here we are almost 3 weeks later, I am now stuck. I need my car to get back and forth to work. The dealer is refusing to work with me and issue another temp plate so that I can drive my car. When none of this is my fault, I want someone from the dealer to contact me and explain why they cannot issue another temporary plate- The DMV told me that they absolutely can issue another plate. I need help.

    When I first started looking at this vehicle, the salesman pretty much ran around the vehicle and did not give me an accurate view of the car. There is heavy damage to the right hand side of the vehicle. There’s scratches all over the vehicle. The rims are damaged. None of this was stuff that was told to me or shown to me before I actually purchased the vehicle. Which reminds you I feel like I was taking advantage of because I am currently in a chapter 13 bankruptcy. They didn’t send barely any pictures when purchasing the vehicle the first company that it was going to be finance through backed out because I had not been on my job long enough and supposedly the next company they had to up the total price tag on the car to get the deal done by like $4000-$5000 which is ridiculous, thirdly or lastly, my vehicle has been sitting in my driveway for over three weeks because they have not been able to get the title paperwork to the title company that they use so I have not been able to even drive my vehicle

    I had purchased a car the week of 1/22 and was given the word by my saleswomen that my car would be serviced and detailed prior to be shipped to me. I received the car on 1/29 and the car was filthy and had pieces missing from the back taillight's. I spoke with my salesperson whom said she would send me the maintenance records for the car and would make arrangements to have the car cleaned or send me a check but she was not working that day but assured me she would take care of things. I also spoke with her her manager that day and sent him the same pictures and we came to an agreement that they would send me a check to compensate me for the detailing but made no mention to the missing pieces on the car. I have texted both my salesperson and the manager and neither has responded to me request for the maintenance records, compensation for the dirty car, and the missing pieces on my car. Additionally, the car has now cut off twice in less than two weeks of me having the car and they are not being responsive to the issues they have given me.

    I bought a 2017 Buick Encore from them 2.14.23. They took advantage of me, giving me a 12% interest loan. I went ahead and tried very hard to pay the car off and was doing great. I found a cheaper rate and was told to get my memo title to transfer the rate and get a lower interest rate. I went into Bobb to do so. They swarmed me and convinced me to purchase a new car and then told me they could give me a better rate. I asked why this better rate wasn't offered to me initially, because I had a good credit history and got no answer. I told them multiple times that I only wanted my credit memo title, but they kept pressuring me to purchase a newer car. They kept saying you can afford this vehicle and not to worry about it. They are extremely unethical pricing pressure tactics to lure in customers and then confuse you and then rip you off. 

    I told ******* I had PTSD and I don't do well in pressure situations. I thought she understood and would help me. 

    They made me pay $56,670.12. They sold me a used 2020 black GMC Arcadia Denali with about 34,730 miles on it on 12.27.23. They overpriced and sold it to me and forced me to use a lending company that they recommended that hiked the interest rate well over normal acceptance level. The financing will make the final total almost $75,000.00. Now instead of reducing my original payment from $408, my new monthly payment is close to $900 a month. 

    This company is extremely DECPTIVE with their pricing practice.

    This new car was almost five times the price of what I owed on the current vehicle that I was trying to just get my memo title, and I was pressured to purchase a car which increased my monthly payment to almost $900, even though I went in and told them that I am trying to lower the $400 payment that the currently vehicle was costing me. I said multiple times I can only afford a vehicle under a certain price range. 

    The loan was through Communitywide. The new loan is through Telhio. 

    I have asked multiple times for them to take the car back. I told them many times, I don't make enough money to afford this car payment.

    I'm in Chapter 7, and my lawyer referred me to National Automotive Brokerage Solutions, I completed the application online, someone called me named ***** ********* with that company on November 11, 2023. I sent in stubs, driver's license and was told that I was approved for $825 monthly payment. I was sent pictures of a 2022 BMW 228i, so while waiting on the banks approval they asked if I had a co-signer, and used my mom. That same day he said they were unable to reach the banks and would call on Monday and said it's due to the max interest rate in Texas and they were trying to resolve the issue. So I was sent pictures of a 2021 BMW x1 and was sent over the paperwork, and they put a sold sticker on the vehicle. I was asked to send my mom's info, I signed the documents (buyers guide, down pymt, warranty papers, purchased insurance. On November 16th I sent in declaration page of insurance, our contracts was sent via Fed Ex on November 18th,and the listed the vehicle for transport. On November 20th they asked for the spelling of my mom's last name which the second contract we signed her last name was spelled wrong. On November 21st the vehicle arrived with no paper tag, so they emailed it. The first contract had the correct amount of $867, the second had $967 which was wrong so they sent a 3rd contract for me to sign. December 21st I contacted them to tell them I never received copies, no response, I told them my paper tag will expire on January 6th, no response, then I received a text from someone else with National Auto named **** requesting paystubs from second job, and was told the bank havent funded the deal yet and was trying to get it wrapped up I told them my tag expires soon they told me to reach out to the salesman, I did and all he did was read them and not respond. Then was told the bank will all and never did, so once I said they committed fraud and breach of contract and was contacting a lawyer they tell me I'm not approved, had the vehicle 2 months.
