I got my car in November of last year and I really should have just kept walking to work until I could find a better place. I can’t tell you how many things are wrong with this establishment from the management down to the mechanics. If you can go somewhere else I would strongly recommend me

If I could give negative stars I would have. I had traded in my perfectly running car for a ford fusion from them and they told me I have a month so if anything goes wrong its under warranty for the first month. My engine blew up in the first 4 days of having the car, we have 4 children mind you and both my significant other and I work. The people who work and run this place are rude and disrespectful and now I have to pay for this POS car and a motor that they took out of my old car that doesnt even fit in the new one. Absolutely trash. DO NOT EVER BUY ANYTHING FROM RPM

We purchased car October 29. We never received the plates. Found out that they FORGOT to apply for them. Now the temp plate is expired. They say they cannot issue a new temp. The car now has to be parked until the new plate arrives. Height of ignorance. RPM living up to their reputation. Karen Malewitz

Put $1500 down had the car 2 weeks and it overheated. The service center told me it would not be under warranty so I put another $310 into it to fix the overheating...when I got my car back the next day the electrical went haywire so I took it up to them to have it looked at is already been without a vehicle for over a week at this point. Called 2 days later asked if theyd looked at it they said no they hadnt had a chance. I asked if it would be covered if it was electrical the service man then stated no. I went up to retrieve the car to have it looked at down here. I live over 40 miles away before I got back to Jackson it overheated majorly. I had it towed back to the shop that had repaired the housing for my thermostat. The car DID NOT OVERHEAT from the time the housing was repaired to the time I went and retrieved it. The mechanic toldv me there appeared to be some kind of sludge in the radiator which had caused it to overheat. The head gasket was bad. I told to let me call RPM to see what they would do. The manager told me it was NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY and hung up. Mind you the shop had flushed the radiator when they had done the repair. I had the shop go ahead with repairs and put a complaint in to the state. The manager told the rep from the state I had declined having it fixed by them under warranty. I guess everyone has $1600 laying around to decline getting it fixed for half that. It is what it is. Its STILL having electrical issues. I will never return nor will I tell anyone to buy from them.

DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM HERE!!!!!! All they do is lie. I paid $1200 down payment on a 05 Dodge from there and they said there was a 30 day warranty on it. Then the engine blew within 2 days of getting it. Now they saying we have to pay 50% of the cost. We told them no and now there gonna sell the truck out from under us

Review №19

I bought a 2011 Chevy Malibu for $10,000. After the financing i will pay close to $14,000. Gregg, my salesman, told me the car came with a 30-day full coverage warranty and that everything was covered except for the air conditioner and air bags. When he had me sign the warranty agreement, it stated only 50% of parts and labor were covered and not the 100% he was telling me. I asked him to put what he said in writing and he refused. When he walked away, i got out my phone and started recording. When he came back, i asked about the warranty again and while on recording he repeated what he told me. Since buying the car, i have had nothing but issues in regards to getting it fixed. Had to wait almost a month just to get my windshield wipers fixed. I had to drive through rain, hail, and snow without wipers. They DO NOT honor their warranty and violate numerous laws when selling consumers vehicles. They violate the Michigan Vehicle Code Act 300 of 1949 in addition to several subsections of the Michigan Consumers Act 331 of 1976. They are HORRIBLE. Especially Jeff. He doesnt care that he is screwing people over. Today i filed a complaint with the Office of the Attorney General for the State of Michigan Consumer Protection Division. Hopefully with the AG stepping in something will change. Because i filed the complaint, they have now retaliated against me and refuse to honor the warranty they agreed to and refuse to work on my car. DO NOT GO THROUGH RPM on S. Cedar St in lansing. I heard the Grand River location is ran more professionally.

Put 1200 dollars down on a truck that needed a battery and alternator but they did that in the same day and i took it home. Two days later it overheated due to the fan not working properly and after a week still wouldn t get the truck in to fix. So back at square one with no vehicle because they only care about money not the people. They will not give any of the 1200 back even though we had to return the truck bc they wouldn t fix it.

Review №24

Pro; with terrible credit and only $250 down, RPM was the only place who wouldput me in a vehicle, which was vital for me. Con: while their garage does try to address any issues with your vehicle, if they need certain parts or heaven forbid, a tire, be prepared to wait, possibly months. Other than these two facts, everything else has been pretty much how I expected, like how they definitely gouged me on price, if only considering actual value of the vehicle, but I was ok with that because getting a vehicle was much more valuable to me at the time, even more so now that my livelihood completely depends on having a working vehicle. Also, I feel that they are actually a bit more on the fair side of things than the average lot, since the more you can come in with for a down payment, the better your total price and individual payments will be. Besides, its worth repeating that no one else was willing to give me a chance, even with zero bills before them and over $1000 a month net income, so if not for them I probably wouldnt have been able to get a car for months. Overall, its a decent place.

Review №28

Wife purchased a Vehicle from here not even two weeks ago. vehicle had a misfire they said to go ahead and take it home and they will order the part. wife drove it home. when she got it there I looked under the hood the oil dipstick had been broken off and one of the fuel injectors was unplugged the coil they said they needed to replace had already been replaced. My wife called them on Thursday she was transferred to the service garage she told them she could bring it in on Saturday mind you vehicle barley has enough power to pull itself down the road. We walk into the service office just to catch a severe attitude I know the mechanics name but am not going to place it on here. we were told that the garage is closed Saturdays we are a hour in a half away mind you. The part wasnt even there though he told my wife it was, we had to go pick it up and I installed it before we left I told him the powertrain control module was bad he told me no it wasnt he doesnt know I had it already looked at by the shop I use to work at. I showed him paperwork and technical service bulletin. got nothing but the cold shoulder no offer of repair and still under the 30 day warranty. also all the mechanics licenses are expired on the wall. Which is illegal to work on vehicles for money without being currently licensed. Unfortunately we now have to replace the computer and all ignition coils and spark plugs for the repair to be done properly. I would never recommend this place to anyone. Save yourself all the problems go somewhere else.

Review №35

There machanics either have no clue how to fix a car or are trainer to just do the bare minimum to fix issues. I have had my car for a year and have put more then 5000 grand into fix the issues. I now have so much into a car that isn’t worth half the money I’ve put into repairs. The transmission was slipping and was told by the head mechanic that my car was picky about the transmission fluid level and to make sure it’s aleays at the full line. Few months later my transmission went out. At this point I had the car for 6 months. Since then the whole front suspension system had to be replaced and it’s currently in the shop for a number of things. Back struts, power steering is totally gone, water pump it’s another couple grand. DO NOT buy from them all they care about is making a quick buck! If I didn’t put a new transmission in it I would let them just come get the lemon and take the credit hit! You’ve been warned

Bought a 2013 Ford fusionI had only had it for 2 days and things started going wrong with it. I had took it back to rpm and they told me they were going to keep the car for a week and fix everything for free. When I got my car back I had realized about 2 hours into driving it rpm taped some wires together to hold until I left with the car. They fixed nothing and didnt even try to offer helping me in any other way. They told me my warranty was expired so basically they just got away with selling a junk car AGAIN. i wouldnt recommend going to rpm. At least not here in lansing

Review №39

Worst place ever for a car, buy a bike and save instead! I purchased a truck from them December 2016. The truck had minor mechanical issues that I was told could be fixed under the warranty YET whenever I tried to get the repairs there was some excuse from them. I let it go and continued to drive the truck until the transmission started going bad. They knew the truck was awful when they sold it so I did a voluntary repo. GAVE IT BACK AND THEY CALLED REPEATDLY ASKING ME IF I WANTED IT BACK SINCE THEY repaired IT! No sir, you can keep the truck. Fast forward to May 2018, The truck has sold to a new owner after I gave it back in Oct 2017. Ive been taking hits on my credit since then and finally it sales and they show me no proof or contact me, I found out by seeing it out on the road. I contact them and STILL no word on paperwork confirming the sale and setting me free from these crooks! Lawyers will be involved.

Bought a truck January 4th. Battery was dead when I test drove it, they jumped it and said it was fine. It died on my test drive, had to wait 25 minutes for someone to come give me a jump. Asked if it was the alternator and they assured me it was not. 3 says later my children and I were stranded in freezing temps due to the alternator. They towed it. 4 days later I say there until it was finished. Told them I noticed a transmission leak, they said it was fine, they put some sealant on it January 25th I could not put the vehicle into reverse. Called them and dropped it off the 26th. Waited an entire week and called them on Friday to check on it. I was told it was being towed to the transmission shop that afternoon and that it would only take about a half a day to rebuild the transmission. Called Monday February 3rd and was told it should be getting towed to the transmission shop today or tomorrow. The whole time, they are asking for a payment while I have spent $500 on a rental to get my kids to school and myself to work! Contacting my lawyer tomorrow.

I dont know if anyone from RPM reads this but your salesperson there lost his salesmanship card when I ask about a car which posted had a 109k but in reality had 190k...and the price was way above kbbs priceline... the interior of the car was dingy to say the least...but the ultimate smack in face was the price he quoted me...he should have been put on the used car dealers hall of shame for quoting me the price he did...

Review №42

So I purchased two vehicles from these scammers. Although I got something that ran nice for a year. They dont have a care in the world for people who are making payments and then when you cant they just come take your vehicle at 11:15pm. This is low even when they told me that I could make a payment on Saturday. Last time I checked today is Friday. The people in the service department dont know what they are doing. The sales people are great people, but the people in the office that take payments dont keep track of anything and never take notes on accounts.

My husband used to work for RPM. Working on engines and transmissions for them..... That being said, they still owe him a 2,000 pay check. And they always told him to just fix what little as possible that he could just so it would drive for 2 months. Dont worry about making it run for a long time. Well my husband being the amazing man he was he put more time into the projects sent to him because he didnt want to screw people over. Finally they stopped sending him vehicles because in their own words.... All the vehicles you fix never come back and wr are losing money. They still have not sent or given him his last pay check for 2,000. And that was four years ago... I hope this helps someone who thinks they should go through RPM. Worst place ever. Just trying to scam good people out of their money. Anything on any of their lots are worth 1,000 dallors at best. Doesnt matter the newer cars.

Review №45

We actually had a great experience with them. Our salesperson was nice and honest (I think his name was Todd) about their situation and what they do there. I mean it sucks to be in a position to have to purchase a car from a high interest place like this but unfortunately thats what happens when your credit sucks (I know because my credit sucks). I had very few other options and was able to get a car that I love and everyone was up front about what they are there and that if you dont make payments they will take the car because ultimately they own it until you pay it off. Any loan company will come and take your car if you dont pay it, and RPM does take it quicker than most other companies would but at the same time, thats what happens when you dont (or cant) pay your bills. We have always paid our car payment on time and have never had any problems with them.

Vehicle was not ready as it was supposed to be. Things were not fixed as they said they would fix them. And the vehicle started falling apart as I left the lot and all the manager said was go to one of our side stores and tell them I sent you. I had. Warranty yet no one would honor it. Service was good and quick and friendly before I paid. But after I signed my name on everything I wasnt important anymore.

I rate RPM a f****** 0!! Anyone who has begun the process of filing a lawsuit PLEASE CONTACT ME! I wont describe my whole experience but if anyone is serious about suing them contact me and I will tell you my whole story! Also, I am writing a letter to the attorney general describing what happened there and how they committed fraud. If enough people send letters they will investigate in hopes of getting them shut down! Also write one to the better business bureau who will also investigate. Keep these crooks out of business and dont even give them a penny unless you want to be lied to, lose money, and your credit ruined!

Save your money and pay cash for a car. This place is a joke, they will scam you as much as can. I have not made a payment for over 18 months and they continue to hit me with late payments and they will not repo the car because they said its not worth it for them to come get it(car broke down in texas) not to mention 2 weeks after getting the car the transmission went out. It took them 5 weeks to get it fixed and refused to tell me who performed the repairs. F#$@ RPM. Any pro bono lawyers out there, lots of pissed customers and thats sad. Hell i know i would give a piece of the pie just to see them gone.

The main manger bill i believe his name is has been nothing but rude and not helpful what so ever. Sold me a vehicle and i broke down not even 24 hours later with my 2 young children in the car. I went in he was horribly rude to me said i just sell cars not my problem had me take it to service were they took it with no estimate on how long im going to be without a car. The cars might look alright but they are lemons! Dont get stuck having to chose between paying for a car you will barley be able to drive or have your credit ruined for giving the pos up. Do not go here it is not worth it! This is not just me i have 2 brother in laws and boyfriend that got vehicle from here all have problems one of them went 2 months without his truck while they fixed it got it back for a short time and had to go right back. Unreliable cars and the main manger is very disrespectful please i urge you to take your business eles where!!!
