Communication was terrible from the start. Had to call multiple times every day nobody would call back had to go down in person to see about progress they told me they were waiting on parts. Picked up my car there was overspray all over my car. Damage that was supposed to be fixed was never done. Found new parts in the inside my glove box where there was change taken and a laptop from the back trunk. They never put the letters tellaride back on my front hood. They put the old broken brackets and parts on my car instead of new ones.A couple other problems. I know this sounds unbelievable I would not believe it myself but heres some photos. I was wondering why I was rushed to pay first before looking over my vehicle. had to pay first then they brought my vehicle outside to me. My insurance company also called them and they did not have much to say. Now I have to take my vehicle to another shop and have them fix all the stuff they did not do. by the way there was a small area where the paint was already peeling. Also a couple other issues. Obviously they did not have any quality control to look over my vehicle before it was brought out to me how the person who brought it out to me did not see all the stuff. Well keep everybody posted.I keep remembering more things to post they also got overspray on the inside of my headlights and told me to take it to a Kia dealership and ask for warranty to replace them LOL I am very sad extremely sad and disappointed with this company. This is not a personal or slander this is all the truth I had a friend with me. have many more pictures. Insurance company told me after I have repairs completed anything left over to send to DeSimone. The one thing that did look very good and well done was the windshield.

They saw me on the side of the road and convinced me to cancel my AAA tow in favor of this shop. Since i was in distress i agreed since they appeared to be close to my business. They moved my car without my consent to their north philly location and then LOST MY CAR. They never told me they moved it and then held my car for days until they opened again and that when i found out they LOST MY CAR. Do not use them!

Repair is okay — just okay.Communication was lacking (phone call was promised and never made, and when I showed up later that day, a touchup was quickly thrown on the car)Worst was that I was insulted by an employee who addressed me in a very inappropriate way while apparently trying to get my attention to ask if I needed water.Id never go back here, even if it is within walking distance.

I cannot rate Desimone highly enough. To start, I had a dent in my KIA which I took to Nigras Autoshop to get looked at and they told me would be a few thousand. When they came and looked again they told me 3-4 thousand. I went to Desimones for a second opinion and it was the best decision I made all year. First of all, they were extremely courteous, understanding, and willing to work with me regarding my insurance (and lack thereof). Secondly, they ended up quoting me at 1,000$!!! Literally the next autoshop was going to charge me four times that. Not only were there prices incredible, they did a fantastic job with my car, worked quickly, were communicative the entire time, and their customer service and culture cannot be beat. I simply cannot recommend them highly enough. I, and everyone I know with car issues from now on, will be giving them my business. 5 stars is not enough.

Avoid at all costs. It took them a week past the estimate to complete my car. When I went to pick it up half the work they were paid to do had not been done. There was body work that was completely neglected. They were supposed to replace a few wheels and they just polished the damaged ones. They were supposed to replace siding on one side of the car and instead they just ripped the siding off the other side to make it match. They promised to fix everything they had not done but upon returning they had not and still tried to pass off damaged parts as new. It has been a month and the paint they did put on the car is already peeling. Theyre actually criminals. My experience made me angry enough to seek legal action. This place should be shut down.

Not happy at all... got a great quote but the service is the worst. Planned a date for my car to have 2 strips spayed plus a dent on the back panel. Was informed the it will take approx 3 days . When I Brought my car in was told a different story now it will be a week. I then noticed after that for 2 days my car was just moved obviously to get to another car as I have the T mobile app on my phone . Called a week later for an update was told that the work had just started and that they were in a great time frame, while at the same time my hubby on the line with another person who told him that no work had been done yet ...smh They don’t call you with any updates you have to call them, numerous times and then the phone will just keep ringing. I will keep you updated as how good the work is as this is not an insurance claim .

The worst place ever to take your car. We had an accident and they came to tow our car saying that they Will cover everything and made sure the car is all good before we got it back. They took more than a month to fix it, and by the time we went to get our car back, the hood of the car doesn’t close properly, the back bumper ain’t all fixed, after being paid almost 13000$ from our insurance company, they still said the insurance didn’t pay for it. They never call you, and when you call, they said they were waiting for spare parts, then another time we needed a new battery??? Our car was new too. Then we needed new tires and blah blah blah. Anyways finally they gave us our car with some things that still needed to be done, our cleaning stuff missing and no detailing as they said they did. Horrible experience!!!!

Best car buying experience I’ve had. Regin Desimone was awesome by helping me out with everything and made sure I was satisfied. We finished the sale within the hour to make it to work on time. I was greatly appreciated to have him working with me in buying a new car. If I ever have a problem with this cat I know I can go back and they will give me a good price and a job well done. :)

This is by far the worst place to buy a car. They have junk. Its too expensive. They are liers. Even with a warranty they still dont fix the problem. They do not tell you about the problems with the car. They have check engine lights that come on a day or so later. This place should be shut down. Speaking with a lawyer now. He said the same thing.

These guys are amazing. They are on there game and get everything you need to get your car. You have a problem and they’ll do everything to help you fix it and I can say is that I had an amazing experience in every way, with the sales group, with the mechanics and everyone there. I definitely recommend it to anyone who’s buying a car here. You won’t be let down!

Coming back from vacation and was in an accident tow truck driver was there and was assisting immediately. Very friendly staff willing to work on vehicle and complete work on it before insurance even wrote out a check. Lou and his team are very good at updating you. I was able to get a rental there at a VERY VERY reasonable rate. The owner himself contacted me to update and inform me of progress. The day I went to pick up the vehicle the person who does the paper work was out sick, they worked around that since I live further away so I wouldn’t have to come back. The work they did on the vehicle is amazing they went over and above on repairs, I greatly appreciate the time they spent to make my vehicle brand new again.

I couldnt be happier with the service and results from the collision repair for my Mercedes Benz. They make you feel like family, and go way above and beyond to earn your business. I will never go anywhere else for service or repair. They provided me with a rental car during the repair process. One Saturday I locked the key in the trunk! They sent over their sales person (Hemi) to open the trunk! Who does that? Everyone is so friendly. I just cant say enough. My car looks better than before the accidents! OUTSTANDING!

From start to finish these guys were fantastic. The day of my accident, a tow-man arrived on scene, Jon. Super helpful, understanding & knowledgeable. He gave me a ride to Desimone, answered my questions and even followed up on the police report for me. Rebecca was also extremely helpful assisting me in communicating with my insurance company. No trouble getting in touch with her when I needed - she really went above & beyond. Mary & Jen also helpful and willing to assist any way they can. Dealing with Desimone was overall easy; they made this otherwise frustrating experience a little less stressful, and not to mention they did a really great job on my car. I would recommend them to anyone!!! Thank you, Desimone!

People kept telling me car buying was the worst. I didnt realize how true this would be until setting up appointment after appointment for weeks with dealerships that would not even call to warn me the car I was coming to see had already been sold.This all changed for me once I met Regin & Anthony at Desimone Auto Group. They helped me find my ideal car and walked me through all the steps thereafter making sure I chose the options that were right for me in regards to financing. I felt truly taken care of and like Ive never been in better hands. They are just stand up guys and great at what they do. I cannot recommend enough.

Knowingly sold me a car with a bad tire, and, when I inquired about it before purchase they said not to worry and that it would go out. When the light did not clear and I brought the vehicle back they told me that it was an issue with the tpms. Not so. I took it to the Toyota dealership and they told me the tire was indeed bad. Now I have to spend more money. In addition my car was never properly detailed and they wouldn’t give me floor mats. Typical shady car salesman. Wouldn’t recommend.

Great place, with great inventory, and great customer service. Any question I had, I was answered and informed more. Was told if they dont have the car that I want that they can get it for you in a day or 2. Highly recommend to stop by if your looking for a car. They offer options and negotiate with you as well. Ask for Regin Mema the Sales Manager for quality service!

Excellent service we received during our car buying process. We worked with Mike and Carmelo. Very easy going salesmen. We came from the Washington DC area with a trade on a Saturday evening. They did not pressure us to buy. They wanted to make sure that we were satisfied with the car and the service we were receiving from them. We will definitely recommend and spread the name DeSimone Auto Group around as much as possible. Thank you very much for your salesmanship.Side note:They were having a small Holiday Party to boost the moral in the shop and the dealership and even offered there food.

Review №39

This was the worst auto shop experience Ive ever had. They told me an appointment wasnt necessary when I called but took my car in later than when I was told over the phone. They also asked me if Id be willing to just trade my car into them since it was a popular make and model, and wasnt in the best condition. I did not drive an hour one way to trade in my car. Then, instead of investigating the problem I has asked them to, they claimed there was another, more expensive problem that needed to be attended to, but they didnt have the part. Four hours later they told me the part was in transit and would be here soon, and after it was fixed they could look at my original complaint. I told them it wasnt necessary anymore, seeing as Id spent 4 hours here already and they had done no work on my car. As I type this I am still sitting in their waiting room, with no word or estimate on my car. And to top it all off, their bathroom door doesnt lock, and one of their employees just walked in on me without even so much as knocking. Im never coming back.

Wish I could give 0 stars. Watch out for Salesmen Regin, he is a con artist. Just brought my car in September 2019 and already my transmission is failing. On top of all that, I had to replace two tires that were bad. I took my car to the dealership to get inspected and they uncovered that the vehicle was involved in a accident and someone fixed it. These guys are so shady,Now I’m out of $34,000. Regin you will be hearing from my attorney.

Don’t purchase a car from these guys, they’re nothing but smooth Criminals. Don’t fall for any tricks and read over you entire contact. If you have brought a car from them in the past or plan too. Please go to a Professional dealership and have your car Completely checked out. They Knowingly sell cars with hidden Collision damage and have many tricks to get away with it. Please be very carefully I don’t want this to happen to anyone else . I am not the only one that had this done to them. We can’t bring a class action lawsuit because we signed a Arbitration agreement, which means we can’t sue in regular court we had to go to an Arbitrator. On top of that you can only use a arbitrator from a certain place in New York . We all know that if one company relies on another for Majority of their business there will be some type of favoritism. To avoid all the stress and Headaches don’t sign any Contract with them instead stay far away. I would recommend going to a real car dealership. Beware of the sales man Anthony and Regim they are not nice people don’t fall for the smiles and smooth talk, they’re not your friends they will steal your money with a smile. Iam a strong believer in Karma Iam just waiting for justice.

This is by far the best dealership Ive been to yet. The service was great and the staff was very friendly. If you decide to go here for you next car purchase, you should, trust me. Ask for Regin. He helped me pick the right car for me and of course made the car of my dreams a reality. He made that possible. Regin not only takes care of everyone who walks into that dealership but he makes sure every customer walks out satisfied. Desimone auto group has by far the best luxury cars you could think of, anything from muscle cars to high end sport cars. I was shocked when I saw the amount of inventory they have to offer. But at the end of the day, I was beyond happy driving off with my new car. Not to mention how patient Regin was with all the questions Id had for several vehicles, he answered them all. Last thing Id have to mention is how clean and well taken care the cars are.

I got into my first accident about 3 weeks ago and even tho I was not at fault, I was nervous about the damages. However, I am extremely greatful that Desimone took care of me once i step foot in their door. They help me file my claim and walked/guided me through all steps i needed to take. They also gave me a rental car free for 5 days and gave me a voucher to get my next inspections done, FREE of cost! ALL of my body damages are fully repaired. I just got my car today and it looks AMAZING. They did such a great job on my rear bumber and the paint job was awesome. My car literally looks brand new again. Im glad to have such a great team and company work on my car. They are extremely nice from the time I walked in to the time I left out the lot with my car. I will recommend this place to anyone that needs repairs and/or service for their car. They will definitely take good care of you :)

My lease was almost up on my 2017 Sorrento. So car shopping we went. We spoke with the Manager Anthony and hooked us up with his best guy Regin. in less then 2 hours papers were signed the car was fueled up and detailed and we were on the road in a 2019 Sorrento AWD. Regin made it easy we told him what we were looking for what we could afford and he gave us options to work with. Not only did we get a new car but made a new friend in Regin. If you need a new car stop in and ask for Regin.

I purchased a 2017 Kia Sportage on 1/9/19. My agent was Regin. I must say he was the most pleasant person and I know it was not a put on. He was patient, understanding, knowledgeable and confident in his line of work. I truly believe that God allowed him to be my service person. I had prayed the night before asking for a simple and smooth process/experience in purchasing a car. And God answered my prayer. I left there with a good looking candy red SUV. I could not stop smiling. I actually cried, because for me searching for a vehicle can be such a headache. Instead I was so happy. Let your vehicle search begin at DeSimone Auto Center City with Regin being your agent. You will not be disappointed.

It was a pleasure buying from Desimone in Center City.Anthony, the sales manager was professional, easygoing, knowledgeable and hardworking. Without any pressure he gave me the perfect price. He worked endlessly to get a great rate from the bank, which was better than expected!Regin, went far beyond the call of a salesman. After discussing my auto insurance quote Regin researched rates and found me a policy quote far cheaper than i would ever expect.The whole process sale process was so easy I was shocked! I am a former car salesman for a large regional dealership in Doylestown. They can take some lessons from Anthony and Regin. Thanks guys! You rock!

Our recent experience in purchasing a car was so pleasant thanks to the Car Sales person at Desimone Auto Group in Center City, Regin Mema. He went above and beyond in helping us find a car. I felt very comfortable dealing with him...unlike my past experience with car sales people. He wasnt just trying to sell us a car, but rather assisting us in finding the right car for us. My husband and I cant rave enough about our experience with Regin Mema. Please do yourself a favor the next time you want a hassle free experience when purchasing a car...Go See Regin Mema at Desimone Auto Group.

Let me start this off by saying Alvin General Manager is very arrogant in his young age but you live and learn that arrogance doesnt get you far in life, especially in the business world but maybe he is paid to be that way. So my husband and I walked in Desimone this afternoon to get a vehicle that Ive been looking at online for quite sometime, we were going to do an all cash offer, the young man oggy was who showed us the car and off the back before we even got in, he said let me point something out to you ( The top of the dash was cracked) his words exactly but if you get it we will fix it at our expense.So we drove it, I liked it with the exception of a few minor things we pointed out but I still wanted it. We drew up the numbers and then it came down to literally $300, Iggy had $26700, (he said he only could give me $700 for my vehicle because it had a salvage title) I told him if he could make it $26400 we had a deal. He took it back to his GM and he said ok, I then asked him(oggy) when the were going to fix the crack. His response was I thought the point of negotiating the $300 was because of the crack and dents, I said no that $300 was solely the price of the vehicle, I asked to speak to the GM myself so that there would be nothing lost in translation. Oggy then made the offer of me buying the part and them putting it on for free, I said to him dont make offers you cant authorize.He went to get the GM and a few moments later Alvin was at the desk, with a look on his face of irritation because he was asked to come out. First thing he said was there seems to be miscommunication, this price I agreed to was in lieu of the fixing the cracks and dents. I explain to him how Oggy said it would be fix at the dealers cost, Alvins response with a snarky look on his face was Why would I fix it after taking $300 off I couldnt believe his attitude. I said because thats what your worker said the dealer would do. Then I went on to explain to him how Oggy said if I brought the part which would be around $130 they would put it on for free ( which I told Oggy the moment he said that to stop making deals hes not authorized on) he then responded and said Im not fixing anything for theses numbers it doesnt make sense while extending his hands out .. my husband looked at me and said lets go! We told him have a nice day and walked right out. We are now at the Chevy dealer in delware county and I got exactly what I wanted and even 2 years younger and had not a crack or dent.Everything happens for a reason !

Oggie Beleshko was an amazing salesman hes very professional, dedicated and very polite. He made sure i left off the lot with a vehicle no matter how hard the obstacles were. He was wonderful. I would highly recommend their service. Everyone was pleasant and generous. But in my opinion I would ask for Oggie. desimone auto group center city 518 n 2ndst Philadelphia pa 19123

Let me just sum it up to this they dont deserve not one star Im still tryna figure out how a place like this is even in business I dont recommend anyone to go here whomever said they had a good experience at desimone need to do your research there is way better places better then this place and they must not know good service and this is most certainly far from good service ...you wont get far being a scammer ... Lets just say they have their picks and chooses on who they should scam.. Desimone are Scammers ...Desimone are Fraudulent ....Desimone are Rip offs!!!!!!! New rafting for them is 0 stars 👎👎👎👎

Sooo, I had my very 1st real accident two weeks ago. :^((( I was in Center City and the shop couldnt be closer. After handling all of the business with the cops - I was free to go But I didnt know what to do. I couldnt drive the car. I was hit on my right side door, bumper & tire! Im stressed, late for work & worried sick... The tow truck driver was there in NOOOO time..... even before the cops (SMH!). My car was towed, The lady running the front desk Alison took care of me from there! She dealt with the insurance company, me & provided car updates, as I waited with supplied coffee, bagels with cream cheese ( Im hungry when stressed...heeheee). Even though, they couldnt verify my Insurance - the OWNER still entrusted me with a rental car that day (no out of pocket expense)! I was so appreciative. My car insurance situation was resolved & they requested I get a different car. So Alison took car of the switch from one car to another without any effort or concern from me. I just had to be there.My CAR LOOKS AMAZING and it run like new again!! - 2013 Toyota.Sorry Alison, but if I every have another accident - I will need you to hold my hand again.Thank you for your general support, concern & care!

Good luck trying to call this place. They answer the phone hello like its a residence and then wont answer if a cars available until you answer their screening questions. Then when you hang up, they harass you by calling repeatedly. Had to threaten to call the police if it continued. Id stay far away from these bottomfeeders.
