    This company has sold a car to my wife with a blow transmission, they promptly replace the vehicle with another. This vehicle has a blown head gasket. All within 2 months of getting said vehicle. Wife brought this vehicle to me with coolant mysteriously disappearing at a slow rate. I replaced thermostat and radiator cap hoping that the thermostat was simply not opening and the system way over pressurizing and blowing all the coolant out of the overflow. This however was not the case. First hot day she drove it it finally completely blew sending pressure into the coolant system and could smell coolant out the tail pipe. Red hot motors picks the vehicle up, (wife states company blames us for the engine blowing up) the car in question had a cross threaded bold in thermostat housing where someone had replaced it prior due to it over heating. The radiator cap had copper specks clogging it ( this is commonly found in products that claim they can fix your head gasket by pouring there product into your coolant system) prior to the engine blowing the vehicle refused to start on her at work 2 weeks before thermostat and radiator cap where replaced. White smoke bellowed out the tail pipe when I finally got it to start. The companies response to weather it was a good vehicle before selling it was it made it to ******** from ************ just fine and Im sure it did as it would take 4-5 days for the coolant system to suddenly be low enough for the vehicle to indicate it was starting to get to hot. Total amount paid to said company 1600$.. within the 2 months the vehicle needed a 200$ battery (it had a vary cheep battery that could barely hold a charge to crank the vehicle) 60$ in coolant ( as it was all simply disappearing) 50$ for thermostat and radiator cap. I can pull up my commercial account with my parts supplier if need be. The company refused to replace said vehicle and doesnt know if or when they can fix it and still requires her to pay.

    I signed a contract for a 2007 ***** HHR , when i first got it I was told a mechanic looked at everything and the car was good to go but i did notice a few issues in which I thought was minor problems such as the car hesitating to start and delayed acceleration. In February the engine locked up because the timing belt broke . I had it towed to ******* on 29th street and was told that the engine was in fact locked . Upon letting RED HOT MOTORS know , I was told it was nothing they can do about it and i still have a contract to pay . No mechanics to help , i wasn't able to get in another vehicle , and i was treated poorly because of a "contract" . Beatys auto shop did inform me that when reaching out to red hot motors to tow the car back to red hot motors , ***** stated " the engine is locked , what are we going to do with it " ? I'm a single mother barely making it and now without a vehicle life has become harder . DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY WITH THIS COMPANY !
