Business ProfileforGlassman Automotive Group

Glassman Auto's dubious business practices. 7/6/24: My son (23) and I (mom) went into Glassman used cars. First ****** showed **** ******. I requested that we bring it to ************, a highly respected and nearby garage, for a pre-sale check. ****** declined and clarified this would be an insurance issue. ****** stepped in. He informed once more during a test drive of a Hyundai Elantra, that we could not take the vehicle to a garage for a presale check. They had a second Hyundai, which we wanted to test drive, We were told that it was being "checked into the lot" on the computer, it was not accessible. We were the assured that we could test drive the second Hyundai on Monday when we came back to purchase a car and exchange the two if we wanted. 7/8/24: My son got a certified check for the deposit. At the dealership, we were told we couldn't take a test drive or swap for the second Hyundai. At the last minute, they produced paperwork that the vehicle is "as is". My son paid $7k for the car. 7/10/24: Car would not speed up, so he drove home from work at a *** of 16mph. 7/11/24: Kings Garage identified the primary problem; clogged catalytic converters, but there were other problems tpp. A quote of $5,5k was given to get the car back in operating order. 7/13/24: We went to the dealership in good faith, assuming they would help. Dealership was not interested in helping and asked us to leave. Another dealership employee informed us that we had EVERY RIGHT to take the car in for a presale inspection. They eventually offered 2 choices:1. Trade-in the car for its current value of roughly $2k, IF we bought another car from them!2. Pay the dealership to fix the car with the offer of a 10% discount!My son turned down the options as each required him to give Glassman Auto more money after they had already defrauded him of $7,000.Glassman called the police and we were escorted out of the facility, without resolution to my son's car being undriveable car.
