I legitimately wanted to buy some of these seat covers, because they actually look nice. However, they don't have a super wide selection. Wanted a set for my Ford truck bench seat, but they only have them for the back seats. Wouldn't be able to fold the seat with that cover on, sadly.
IfI remembercorrectly, the ecu is behind the skirt under the passenger fender. I wire might be chaffed or water got to that area after the accident or not even related. Remoce the connction to the ECU check for green crusties and make sure the plug is seated correctly and make sure the wiing loom isn't damaged
agree, you went above and beyond. If the buyer or the people that referred them to you are angry with you then they are out of their mind. No dealer would have bent over backwards the way you did.
"... think your at fault..." Please, learn the proper written use for you're or you are, and your. Although when spoken you're and your sound the same, when written, they have completely different meanings and usages. Remember, when writing the word your, that which follows belongs to the person you are writing to.
Craig by the sounds of things you went above and beyond. You are the needle in the haystack of used car salesmen. You take pride in your name and business and don’t go out of your way to screw over customers. You believe someone should get what they pay for and nowadays that’s rare. It makes me wish you were my local used car dealer. Please don’t take the compliment lightly as any of my dealing with a used lot have left me feeling violated.
Dude I can’t stress enough you have to be one of the best dealers out there, you are such an honest person who in this world would do that for anyone .I leave in Boston, MA and will definitely go to your dealership whenever I’m thinking to get another car.
I’m going thru this right now with a customer. 1st it’s been some catalytic converter problems which I had to replace both manifold cats. On the way from the auto part store the transmission started slipping. Oj the way to the mechanic shop I got into an minor accident in stop and go traffic. So now I have another vehicle that I have to get the front bumper fixed, my insurance is going up and points on my license. This has been an absolute nightmare.
Down the road, when they deal with someone who isn't as generous as you were in this situation, they'll realize that you went out of your way to help them out, when you didn't have to. Dealing with these type of situations takes years off your life, putting up with the stress. Those seat covers are great, and an excellent option to replacing seats, or having them recovered.
When i sold cars, i was exactly the same as you. I always told the customers that every car on my lot ( including theirs) was going to be in a scrapyard within 15 years. And it was impossible for anyone to know what was going to break and when. I specialized in 4 to 6 thousand dollar vehicles. Absolutely loved 80 percent of the customers. The ones shopping for a 6k car with expectations of getting a 15k vehicle drove me nuts
SO many idiots with champagne taste on a beer budget. Anyone who hasn't sold cars or waited tables absolutely should! The world would be a better place.
Imagine being a couple that’s old enough to have a 16 year and being surprised that a 160,000 mile Chrysler product has problems, a dealer of any code of ethics won’t take back a car that’s been t-boned and thinks that dealer’s in the wrong. 🤨
Definitely not your fault fiat/ Chrysler/ Stellantis aren’t built to last as long as Toyotas Craig. But these episodes are a clever way to balance out the negative Facebook post from the lady who bought an old jeep and was surprised it wasn’t perfect. They could of got their daughter a 4Runner or a Corolla, …or a new car with a factory warranty.
My question is why are they buying 16 year olds newish cars, without a doubt they’re gonna get crashed. You buy a hoopty. I also don’t get girls and their attractions to these Jeep junkers, all around trash.
Dude, MOST dealers wouldn’t have taken it back in BETTER condition than they sold it to them!!!! If I were in the market for a car, I would definitely buy one from you!!!! We need more businesses like yours.
This Jeep will pay off in great TH-cam content videos views so win-win. You may have one unhappy customer but you will have 392k TH-cam car geeks in their glory watching and learning how to fix this jeep
I commend you for fixing this situation and you definitely went way above and beyond what any dealer would do. This shows your value as a good honest person. Your the dealer we all need. Thank you
Craig. Dont beat yourself up over this sale/return. You did your best and that is all you can do. I would have given them their money back and if the customer still was not happy then thats on them. Keep up the good work.
I've been a car flipper for over 40 years. I am also a good mechanic. I go through my vehicles with a fine tooth comb. I completely refurbished them mechanically, visually and all potential safety issues. But there's always a few that are just crap. I just had a 2011 RAV 4. Replaced all fluids, brake parts filters ECT. Went to replace the 4 spark plugs and all 4 had been crossed threaded, the head was crossed threaded. It was done at the factory. It got repaired and sold. But I lost money on it. It was the right thing for me to do. I could have sold it or auctioned it but I feel better that the job was done and the new owner has a great running vehicle.
Hey man your a good guy you went above and beyond what any other dealer would have done at the end of the day you took care of it hope your less stressed and don’t have to worry about dealing with them again
You are very kind to say only "off-putting" when describing the customers villainizing you on Facebook. As a fellow small business owner those wildly dramatic and sensationalized Facebook posts and Google reviews always get to me more than they should.
The JEEP might have been a bad experience but that in NO WAY is your fault. I just can't see how the way you handled the situation can be interpreted as a bad experience. You were willing to work with them and help them the WHOLE WAY!! That's a GOOD GUY not a bad guy!! Those are HIGH MAINTENANCE customers and I'm glad they are GONE!!
Even after the lousy social media post that did not reflect the actual interaction and facts I would have had a harder time doing what Craig did after that. I could understand the post if the dealer cut off contact and said deal with it but not when Craig was still working with them.
Being able to watch your videos for some time now it truly shows that you have a passion and good heart for your customers, but you are in the business that is negatively viewed by the public because there are dealers who really just want to make a quick buck, but you show good promise in wanting to push that industry into an experience in which it can be viewed differently, with honor and respect. Thank you for your honesty and keep pushing forward, and also we need to see more Nissan skyline especially since they are booming now 😅
That sucks man. Carens emailing their bs to you and posting lies about you online while you are going out of your way, getting your holidays ruined. Thing is you will end up a winner here in a long term because people are seeing this stuff now, they see how you do business in a very respectful manner. Also, you have earned whole lot of karma points here no matter what Carens think. Well done, Craig👍
The customers face book post held you accountable , also created content for you, and also gave you the opportunity to show 300,000 plus people how good of a guy you are. So what turned out to be a crummy thing to post, ended up being a good thing for everyone in the long run. Keep it up Craig your channel has evolved into something great !
Thanks for a great video. I had no idea you dealt with this much stress. I have a newfound respect for what a good honest used car dealer has to deal with on a daily basis. Take care and Carry On.
Ending of that situation was way better than I thought it was going to be. and after seeing everything you did to try to make it right for the customer, they shouldn't be mad. they probably are, but thats just how people are anyway
I wish more companies big and small would put the same effort into building relationships as you have with this story. It sounds like you stepped up and made the right call to try and fix the situation. Things happen and used cars are always a gamble. Hopefully everyone will walk away with no hard feelings.
Man great customer service- you will never make 100% of your customers happy. Someone will always blame you for a problem. You did right even though that vehicle now has a lower value with a wreck on carfax. You went above and beyond- totally understand your frustration. Thanks for sharing.
He did it cuz of the insurance check, but he failed epically since he gave them the damn money back in the end instead of the pathfinder, or anything else. Under no circumstances would I have given them actual money back.
All I can say is you are amazing. You did way more then those folks deserved. They have been made 1000% whole. Yes they were inconvenienced originally, but bent over backwards on that engine issue. But then she crashed the car and they didn’t want to take responsibility for that and dumped that on you too, even refusing to get it repaired. You then took on that problem as well. Then you worked on resolving their next problem by getting the Nissan for them. They rejected that! Sorry but these folks were unreasonable and not fair with you. You’re a great car dealer and they should see that. Keep the great videos coming. I love your Chanel. Thanks 😊👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
That family honestly has no idea about vehicles. That's one of the worst vehicles you can own not just for that problem but for several other issues those jeeps tend to have a lot such as the air conditioning issues. Might be good for a while but almost always sooner rather than later you are gonna have expensive issues happen over and over. People have got to get over looks & how a vehicle makes them feel(as in cool). I see this so often
Craig - you've gone beyond on this situation. The physical issues with the car is one thing but the emotional roller coaster is gut wrenching. You pointed out more than once in both your videos regarding this situation. Repeat customers are the bread and butter of the small business owner. A positive reputation must be preserved at all costs. It's really a bummer that social media now can cast aspersions or untruths on individuals or businesses with out recourse. I'm now retired medium sized service business owner with over 30 years on the job. Never advertised, all business through referrals and contacts. I was fortunate never to have a major customer fall out. As an aside. In my country a vehicle with over 200,000 kilometers (120,000 miles) is just about unsaleable. Dealerships don't want them. Dealerships here have to provide a 3 month statutory warranty for vehicles over a certain price or certain mileage.

We had one as a work vehicle in our fleet and it was a great vehicle. With that said, the boss man at my second job purcahsed one and it was total garbage and TONS of problems.
he was not fair to himself.... once that car was crashed deal should have been off the table for good. he gave them chance to buy back and then suddenly it gets crashed and the problem is back and they want to return it? give me a break... these people were fuckin scammers and he should be angry at the person that referred these scumbags to him. not the other way around. craig you are not going to last long in this business if you act this way. AS IS means as is.... the simple fact you offered to buy back was above and beyond. everything done after was just the customer taking advantage of the dealer. and craig got burned for it in the end with negative facebook posts.. if he would have just left it alone it would have been much less aggravation and stress and the same outcome. an angry customer that you never will deal with again. so why lose thousands of dollars on a customer u will never see again? lol
@gregorylyon1004 something is better than nothing, what else are you going to do with a dead horse. Get what you can, count your losses and move on. Craig probably needs a business write off anyway.
Craig, u r the most fair (really above and beyond) car dealer, by far. Sometimes, it's easier to suck up a loss. Worst case scenario its good pr So good for you as a human being being the person you are. Good Karma is absolutely coming ur way.
It's a shame car dealers in the uk don't have as much respect and openness for the cars they sell as what you do for your cars and your customer service is off the chart👏🏼👏🏼 I've never bought a car from you but I would be very comfortable buying from you. Keep up the good work👍🏻
AGAIN CRAIG! I’ve said it in my last post bro u have gone way above and beyond the call of duty for these people ! I’d love to do my next car deal with you and I probably will here soon, I live in West Virginia but every time u turn the camera around your car lot I see something I like so yeah as fair as u have been with these people I’m looking forward to getting. Ahold of u in a few weeks and having u find me a vehicle or a vehicle off the lot ! But as for ur other friends they should have stayed out of it that was uncalled for just being honest but I do hope your old long time friends realize they shouldn’t have got in the middle and that was wrong and out u a big I’m sorry I do feel but again that’s my opinion and opinions are like butt holes we all got one! Lol! …… good job bro good video and can’t wait to hopfully be dealing with u soon!
The buyer covered his daughters ass by making flying wheels buy back the vehicle because he didn't want to turn it in to insurance. The accident was his daughter's fault. That guy used Craig and his dealership
I wonder if Daddy was driving and pulled out in front of another motorist in hopes of totaling the jeep. I knew a guy who did that once when he did not want to replace a bad engine in his car.
Sometimes you need to fire the customer. You don’t need their business if they don’t hold up their part of the agreement. They can be horrible terrible people and they don’t have a reputation to lose . They’re a bunch of idiots.
You are what every car dealer or business owner should strive to be, car dealers should watch your videos and take notes. My son is 16 and will need a car in a couple of years and i would not hesitate to drive from long island to NH to buy from from flying wheels. You are the epitome of customer service, and these videos are all the evidence needed to prove that.
Craig your a honest used car dealer. Wish there were more like you. I bought a Honda Ridgeline 30 days later the Transmission went three thousand dollars more and the should have bought the warranty speech made me sick . Thank you for not being that guy.
This whole situation sucks and I've watched it from the beginning... but I do applaud you for how you made it right for everyone including the insurance company 👏🏾 🙌🏾
Did the best you could do and better than 90% of NH used dealers. My last used car came with 30 day warranty they wrap it in every car just in case something like this happens. Keep the videos coming great job. 👍
Your integrity reflects on all the videos you post. If your friend and his wife question that, they really don't know you and aren't good friends, lol. Keep doing what you do, and everything else will continue to fall into place
Craig you went above and beyond to make these people happy, You did Nothing Wrong. I would be confident in buying a vehicle from you because you are a very honest person.
You handled this situation better then most people would have, got to give you props for that. Well done and if I am looking for another car in the future I will definitely check your site first.
The 4L inline 6 with their 5sp manual is still their best combination since the 1960s. I had this same combo in a 94 Grand Charokee and it was bulletproof.
Hello, i own a dealership too, and sometimes dealing with the public is too much. also what i learned doing favors will always cost you a lot more in the long run some have the mentality that you owe it to them. also we have helped thousands of customers and went above and beyond rarely do any of them leave a 5 star review.
The older 3.6 Pentastar engines crack the left head. Chrysler fixed the design flaw in the newer Pentastar. You have to look up the years, but i think they fixed it @ 2016? GOOD LUCK!!
At the very beginning I thought it was going to be a dejavu of the Red Wrangler video I watched. It was a rental car that got deer damaged, not properly fixed and then sent to a car auction that you bought it at. Then it became your headache. But you guys fixed it to standard and the new owner got a reliable & safe Jeep
Its the same engine block on those cars, but not same heads or pistons or rockers or oil pumps or pans, they all have different parts with different clearances depending on the application.
I commented in the last video how i felt about the situation, this one i just want to make 2 points here. . . 1) you are a great guy, great dealer, completely honest, do more than you should, continually go above and beyond. 2) they are completely unreasonable, they chose not to resolve this from the start by denying your buy back, they accepted youre offer to fix it, they told you thanks and it was good to go, they then continued to expect you to do more than you should be doing. And now you have more work to do than you should or would have if they allowed you to buy it back at the start. Please stop trying to please these people and stop trying to offer replacement vehicles, ect . I really hope you just wash your hands and be done with these people. Im upset about this situation and im not even you (you are too good of a person)
You my friend go way beyond the other used car dealers that is the reason you are so well liked got to hand it to you flying wheels Big recommendation Love it😊
So, I take back my comments on the part 1 video. I think you’ve gone above and beyond for a financial break even but lots of goodwill. Good on you Craig. And thanks for making these videos.
Thats exactly what I thought would be the best outcome. Buy it back if the insurance claim is filed to cover the repairs. Hopefully it shows everyone you try to do your best and that they don't have a lingering bad experience with your company.
Greetings from the UK, they shouldn't have lied about you on Facebook,I think you went above and beyond to help them out,and at the end of the day the crash damage was the daughters fault.
I am in the collision industry , and can confirm that estimate for the repair is accurate. As far as making the customer satisfied , that’s just the way it goes. You cannot make everyone happy. One last note, don’t ever do business with friends or family. It’s just a rule to go by, to make your life a lot more stress free. I have bought and sold cars in the past, and my friends and family would like what I was selling. I would tell them straight out, I do not want to sell it to you just to keep the peace.
Great content and nicely done. You went above and beyond! Most ruthless used car dealers won't as used vehicles are sold as is and with their next transaction somewhere else, it might be lesson learning time when they get one those dealers and have a vehicle problem and then realize how good you were to them! 🇺🇲✌️
Great to hear you are finalizing that Jeep, but reselling it? I thought you said you'd probably send it back to the auction (last video). Did you figure out the misfire issue?
You offered more options to them than I had thought of and I would be the customer side so hey I think you did great wouldnt of stopped me from coming back to the lot ,...oh on the missfire jeep I had a 300 5.7 that did that , bought it brand new boom missfire issues , turned out to be two pins slid in the same hole on main brain ecu as one was bent at factory, they threw 3 coil packs , 8 injectors injector loom ,new ecu brain which car was rejecting , before spotting the two pins in the same hole and this was my dealer i have bought 5 new cars with the entire staff always treated me well , you did a great job 👍
I purchased a 2020 jeep gladiator rubicon brand new and the check engine light pretty much stays on. After a bunch of trips to the dealership for about a year after buying it the mechanic at the dealership told me that the check engine light would go off by itself after so many cycles and sure enough it does so I just live with it coming on regularly. 😊 I hope this helps. By the way I still have my jeep today and am happy with it.
You're too kind Bud. With Their negative FB post I would have taken all deals with them off the table. Let them deal with it themselves. Some people you just can't please. The are going to find something wrong with any vehicle they buy. No matter new or used. I'm a nice guy too and I will bend over backwards to help anyone, but I will not be abused or walked on.
I've had a few different family members in the used car business through the years. What is really fun is when a customer or should I say a person comes in and wants to test drive a pickup and you know it's because they're wanting to haul something and that's it no intention to buy and they get mad when you ask to ride with him and then go trash talk your name everywhere. When dealing with the public always expect the unexpected I guess

Why you nver sell to friends. I never used to understand the old guys who wouldnt sell to friends, this is why. You go way above and beyond.

He did it cuz of the insurance check, but he failed epically since he gave them the damn money back in the end instead of the pathfinder, or anything else. Under no circumstances would I have given them actual money back.
All I can say is you are amazing. You did way more then those folks deserved. They have been made 1000% whole. Yes they were inconvenienced originally, but bent over backwards on that engine issue. But then she crashed the car and they didn’t want to take responsibility for that and dumped that on you too, even refusing to get it repaired. You then took on that problem as well. Then you worked on resolving their next problem by getting the Nissan for them. They rejected that! Sorry but these folks were unreasonable and not fair with you. You’re a great car dealer and they should see that. Keep the great videos coming. I love your Chanel. Thanks 😊👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
That family honestly has no idea about vehicles. That's one of the worst vehicles you can own not just for that problem but for several other issues those jeeps tend to have a lot such as the air conditioning issues. Might be good for a while but almost always sooner rather than later you are gonna have expensive issues happen over and over. People have got to get over looks & how a vehicle makes them feel(as in cool). I see this so often
Craig - you've gone beyond on this situation. The physical issues with the car is one thing but the emotional roller coaster is gut wrenching.
You pointed out more than once in both your videos regarding this situation. Repeat customers are the bread and butter of the small business owner. A positive reputation must be preserved at all costs. It's really a bummer that social media now can cast aspersions or untruths on individuals or businesses with out recourse.
I'm now retired medium sized service business owner with over 30 years on the job. Never advertised, all business through referrals and contacts. I was fortunate never to have a major customer fall out.
As an aside. In my country a vehicle with over 200,000 kilometers (120,000 miles) is just about unsaleable. Dealerships don't want them. Dealerships here have to provide a 3 month statutory warranty for vehicles over a certain price or certain mileage.
I would be done with the family why would you want to still deal with them and find them a car. Crag cut your loses and move on.
You handled this situation better than what I could have imagined. The entire situation sucks.

We had one as a work vehicle in our fleet and it was a great vehicle. With that said, the boss man at my second job purcahsed one and it was total garbage and TONS of problems.
@@27Zangle before was Made in Japan now Nissan is owned by the Renault crap
Exactly it’s a matter of time when the Nissan starts having problems and he’ll be at the same position.
IT’s business you went above and beyond. Seeing your side has changed my mind on your industry.
I think you were more than fair. I would bet most dealers would never take any car back, especially in that condition. Can you part it out?
he was not fair to himself.... once that car was crashed deal should have been off the table for good. he gave them chance to buy back and then suddenly it gets crashed and the problem is back and they want to return it? give me a break... these people were fuckin scammers and he should be angry at the person that referred these scumbags to him. not the other way around. craig you are not going to last long in this business if you act this way. AS IS means as is.... the simple fact you offered to buy back was above and beyond. everything done after was just the customer taking advantage of the dealer. and craig got burned for it in the end with negative facebook posts.. if he would have just left it alone it would have been much less aggravation and stress and the same outcome. an angry customer that you never will deal with again. so why lose thousands of dollars on a customer u will never see again? lol
Part it out ??? Your kidding right?? Craig is probably 15 thousand dollars into this catastrophe right now
@gregorylyon1004 something is better than nothing, what else are you going to do with a dead horse. Get what you can, count your losses and move on. Craig probably needs a business write off anyway.
Craig, u r the most fair (really above and beyond) car dealer, by far.
Sometimes, it's easier to suck up a loss.
Worst case scenario its good pr
So good for you as a human being being the person you are.
Good Karma is absolutely coming ur way.
you're a good guy, Craig. Put it through the auction. Why would you sell a lemon and go through it again?
It's a shame car dealers in the uk don't have as much respect and openness for the cars they sell as what you do for your cars and your customer service is off the chart👏🏼👏🏼
I've never bought a car from you but I would be very comfortable buying from you.
Keep up the good work👍🏻
AGAIN CRAIG! I’ve said it in my last post bro u have gone way above and beyond the call of duty for these people ! I’d love to do my next car deal with you and I probably will here soon, I live in West Virginia but every time u turn the camera around your car lot I see something I like so yeah as fair as u have been with these people I’m looking forward to getting. Ahold of u in a few weeks and having u find me a vehicle or a vehicle off the lot ! But as for ur other friends they should have stayed out of it that was uncalled for just being honest but I do hope your old long time friends realize they shouldn’t have got in the middle and that was wrong and out u a big I’m sorry I do feel but again that’s my opinion and opinions are like butt holes we all got one! Lol! …… good job bro good video and can’t wait to hopfully be dealing with u soon!
I don’t care Craig you’re one of the best used car dealers I’ve ever seen you do a good job, actually you do a great job
How does someone wreck a vehicle and then expect the dealer to take it back? That’s crazy!
The buyer covered his daughters ass by making flying wheels buy back the vehicle because he didn't want to turn it in to insurance. The accident was his daughter's fault. That guy used Craig and his dealership
I wonder if Daddy was driving and pulled out in front of another motorist in hopes of totaling the jeep. I knew a guy who did that once when he did not want to replace a bad engine in his car.
You did the best you could with that situation, you did a lot more than most used dealerships would have done. You have my respect sir.
Sometimes you need to fire the customer. You don’t need their business if they don’t hold up their part of the agreement. They can be horrible terrible people and they don’t have a reputation to lose . They’re a bunch of idiots.
You are what every car dealer or business owner should strive to be, car dealers should watch your videos and take notes. My son is 16 and will need a car in a couple of years and i would not hesitate to drive from long island to NH to buy from from flying wheels. You are the epitome of customer service, and these videos are all the evidence needed to prove that.
Wonder how much it will take to change the motor?
Depends how much they are going for used plus labor
I like the way you handled it honestly. Nice to see because as I'm in my car search, dealers have gotten even more rotten
Bought a few as is vehicles back to keep customers happy and always made more reselling them. 😊 Happy Customers, Happy Life.
Craig your a honest used car dealer. Wish there were more like you. I bought a Honda Ridgeline 30 days later the Transmission went three thousand dollars more and the should have bought the warranty speech made me sick . Thank you for not being that guy.
You seemed like a honest person. I wish their was more dealerships like you. If I was in your area I would definitely purchase a car from you.
Good to see honest small business owners…. Keep up the good work.
God bless you brother, you went the extra 1 mile for your customers and then some, keep up the great work! Peace and love Turtle
00:30 “it’s not fun” but the minivan will make a profit. Making money, no matter where it comes from, is always fun.
This whole situation sucks and I've watched it from the beginning... but I do applaud you for how you made it right for everyone including the insurance company 👏🏾 🙌🏾
Unsure how I came about this channel, but glad I did. Good content. Thanks!
Did the best you could do and better than 90% of NH used dealers. My last used car came with 30 day warranty they wrap it in every car just in case something like this happens. Keep the videos coming great job. 👍
The transmission on that Nissan 😂
As a small business owner thinking about starting a TH-cam channel I appreciate the content. This is the type of videos I want to do.
You are a professional I don’t know how much you had to do to try to repair the relationship. Amazing solution you are a very creative thinker.
Your integrity reflects on all the videos you post. If your friend and his wife question that, they really don't know you and aren't good friends, lol. Keep doing what you do, and everything else will continue to fall into place
It’s amazing that you cared so much…and even offered a terrific Pathfinder!! They’ll never find something better for $14k
Craig you went above and beyond to make these people happy, You did Nothing Wrong. I would be confident in buying a vehicle from you because you are a very honest person.
You went above and beyond. I wish there more like u. If i am looking for a car u be the guy
Craig you went ABOVE ABOVE & BEYOND! Hats off to you sir!
Your an honest man, good job making a not so great situation right in the end.
You handled this situation better then most people would have, got to give you props for that. Well done and if I am looking for another car in the future I will definitely check your site first.
You went above and beyond for those customers. The Pathfinder was definitely too big for the daughter but it was a nice gesture and alternative.
The 4L inline 6 with their 5sp manual is still their best combination since the 1960s. I had this same combo in a 94 Grand Charokee and it was bulletproof.
Hello, i own a dealership too, and sometimes dealing with the public is too much. also what i learned doing favors will always cost you a lot more in the long run some have the mentality that you owe it to them. also we have helped thousands of customers and went above and beyond rarely do any of them leave a 5 star review.
The older 3.6 Pentastar engines crack the left head. Chrysler fixed the design flaw in the newer Pentastar. You have to look up the years, but i think they fixed it @ 2016? GOOD LUCK!!
Yup, cylinder 2 misfire / head / valve issue is a known issue on those years!
At the very beginning I thought it was going to be a dejavu of the Red Wrangler video I watched. It was a rental car that got deer damaged, not properly fixed and then sent to a car auction that you bought it at. Then it became your headache. But you guys fixed it to standard and the new owner got a reliable & safe Jeep
Your not guilty of being a bad dealer. You had bad customers (friends or not). Sucks you dealt with that but glad it worked out.
Hi Craig. Lovely seat covers. Some people are never happy no matter what you do for them. 🇨🇮🇨🇮
Its the same engine block on those cars, but not same heads or pistons or rockers or oil pumps or pans, they all have different parts with different clearances depending on the application.
I commented in the last video how i felt about the situation, this one i just want to make 2 points here. . .
1) you are a great guy, great dealer, completely honest, do more than you should, continually go above and beyond.
2) they are completely unreasonable, they chose not to resolve this from the start by denying your buy back, they accepted youre offer to fix it, they told you thanks and it was good to go, they then continued to expect you to do more than you should be doing. And now you have more work to do than you should or would have if they allowed you to buy it back at the start.
Please stop trying to please these people and stop trying to offer replacement vehicles, ect . I really hope you just wash your hands and be done with these people. Im upset about this situation and im not even you (you are too good of a person)
I think you went above and beyond. Hope it works out for you and you end up with a profit.
You my friend go way beyond the other used car dealers that is the reason you are so well liked got to hand it to you flying wheels Big recommendation Love it😊
So, I take back my comments on the part 1 video. I think you’ve gone above and beyond for a financial break even but lots of goodwill.
Good on you Craig. And thanks for making these videos.
Thats exactly what I thought would be the best outcome. Buy it back if the insurance claim is filed to cover the repairs. Hopefully it shows everyone you try to do your best and that they don't have a lingering bad experience with your company.
Well done Craig! You can’t win every time! But you stopped the bleeding! Everything works out in the end!
Greetings from the UK, they shouldn't have lied about you on Facebook,I think you went above and beyond to help them out,and at the end of the day the crash damage was the daughters fault.
It’s a very difficult position and I don’t know how you can handle like this. Amazing
I am in the collision industry , and can confirm that estimate for the repair is accurate. As far as making the customer satisfied , that’s just the way it goes. You cannot make everyone happy. One last note, don’t ever do business with friends or family. It’s just a rule to go by, to make your life a lot more stress free. I have bought and sold cars in the past, and my friends and family would like what I was selling. I would tell them straight out, I do not want to sell it to you just to keep the peace.
Great content and nicely done. You went above and beyond! Most ruthless used car dealers won't as used vehicles are sold as is and with their next transaction somewhere else, it might be lesson learning time when they get one those dealers and have a vehicle problem and then realize how good you were to them!
🇺🇲✌️
Great to hear you are finalizing that Jeep, but reselling it? I thought you said you'd probably send it back to the auction (last video). Did you figure out the misfire issue?
You offered more options to them than I had thought of and I would be the customer side so hey I think you did great wouldnt of stopped me from coming back to the lot ,...oh on the missfire jeep I had a 300 5.7 that did that , bought it brand new boom missfire issues , turned out to be two pins slid in the same hole on main brain ecu as one was bent at factory, they threw 3 coil packs , 8 injectors injector loom ,new ecu brain which car was rejecting , before spotting the two pins in the same hole and this was my dealer i have bought 5 new cars with the entire staff always treated me well , you did a great job 👍
I purchased a 2020 jeep gladiator rubicon brand new and the check engine light pretty much stays on. After a bunch of trips to the dealership for about a year after buying it the mechanic at the dealership told me that the check engine light would go off by itself after so many cycles and sure enough it does so I just live with it coming on regularly. 😊 I hope this helps. By the way I still have my jeep today and am happy with it.
You're too kind Bud. With Their negative FB post I would have taken all deals with them off the table. Let them deal with it themselves. Some people you just can't please. The are going to find something wrong with any vehicle they buy. No matter new or used. I'm a nice guy too and I will bend over backwards to help anyone, but I will not be abused or walked on.
I've had a few different family members in the used car business through the years. What is really fun is when a customer or should I say a person comes in and wants to test drive a pickup and you know it's because they're wanting to haul something and that's it no intention to buy and they get mad when you ask to ride with him and then go trash talk your name everywhere. When dealing with the public always expect the unexpected I guess
