Auto repair service near Winslow, NJ

All I can say about Scott & Exim Auto Inc is...BUYERS BEWARE!!! I purchased two wheelchair accessible vehicles from Scott back in June, 2012. Both vehicles were grossly misrepresented, neither were even running & both failed state inspection upon arrival despite being described as turn key condition. Scott claimed that he wanted to make the situation right with us, but we've never received a dime despite having to spend thousands...just to get the vans to pass inspection. And that doesn't even get into the roofing tar used to cover gaping holes in the wheel wells of one van or the holes rusted through the roof which soaked & brought down the headliner & de-laminated the wood trim in the interior. Probably worst of all is that Scott/Exim Auto illegally jumped title on the first van we purchased, and 6+ months later (January, 2013), we are still fighting with him to even get the title for the second van. All we want to do is cut our losses and get rid of these vans for anything possible...but I can't even sell the one without a title. Exim Auto is being reported to the state of NJ for not recording the sale of a vehicle in their name before reselling (jumping title) & also for advertising a vehicle with a clean title and not providing a title at all. Hopefully, the state will revoke their dealers license before they can take advantage of any additional consumers. I cannot express my displeasure enough with how this individual and company operate and hope that the thousands of dollars that this has cost me will at least help save another person from being grossly mislead & fraudulently sold a vehicle.

Stopped in to check out a 2004 Chevy Silverado 2500hd 6.0L crew cab truck on a monday. Truck had rust which was typical of this Chevy truck,( rusted out rockers and driverside cab corner) started it up found a broken ground wire under the hood area, oil leaking all over engine, a metal tinging sound from under the hood and the dash reading needs oil changed. Then as the Car saleswoman's husband showed up he asked how I liked it. I told him its not bad but then I noticed the check engine light on and he saw it too. I told him I had a OTC scanner and asked if I could hook it up he said no problem. After running a key on engine off scan there was 14 codes. 12 were in history for various things some bad some not so bad and then a hard Knock sensor pending and a bank 2 knock sensor confirmed. For those that don't know you have to pull off the entire upper intake manifold and all associated wiring and sensors to replace those. I said well it a little more than I wanted to get into right now with winter coming and I don't have a garage. He said he understands and said look I really need to get at least $3500 so if you know someone who might be interested tell them 3700 and I'll throw you a few bucks or if you change your mind I'll sell it to you for $3500. I mulled it over till Wednesday, went back to test drive truck to check trans out and decided to buy it Thursday for the $3500 i showed up at 2:15 and sales lady had to pick her daughter up by 2;30 so they were closing and I didn't want to hold her up. NOW here is where it gets interesting: so the wife who works there ( sales lady) says when will you be here I said between 11-12 and asked if she could tell me the full price and explained that her husband said he'd tell her to sell it to me for $3500 if I came back because he was going out of town, well he didn't. She said price was $5295 and I explained what her husband had said. She said well he won't be back till next week and I could try to call him if I wanted to. I got a hold of his brother who apparently owns the car lot and told him what was going on and to have his brother ( the husband ) get in touch with either me or his wife to clear this up and stand by his word. Well in between that the wife texted saying she couldn't sell it to me for that price because she had other people calling offering full price. I said well I'll have to call her husband and we will go from there. Then she offered it to me for $4500, even though people are offering you full price?? I said I'll wait to her from husband and see if he stands by his word. Then after a few minutes she says and I quote: "My Husband and I work here. I didn't know my husband had a deal with you. My brothers Own the lot and they said $4000 is the bottom, the day you talked to my husband they needed the money to buy another vehicle. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Let me know what you think." What I think is bait and switch. Lie,cheat,and steal. Don't have people on the lot offer deals that you aren't willing to stand behind 100% I would avoid doing business with them if I were you over priced for the junk they offer.

Quoted for tire mounting then, when got hold of car, called to see if we wanted tires balanced for an extra $50. Who mounts tires without getting them balanced. Scumbags.
