    Unresolved
    Wedekind lied to me about what they sold me, I will not be going back and am not happy with my experience. When I put a down payment on this car they told me the engine had to be replaced but they'd have proof where it came from and the miles on it. I was told 40-50k would be on the engine going in the vehicle and I didnt mind because it was less than the body of the car. They failed to provide the proper paperwork and because the process was rushed I didnt notice they didnt give me paperwork that showed mileage on the new engine, which was 70k. I had to ask them to email the paperwork to me, so I still dont have a physical copy. They also sold me the car with safety recalls that have killed other people, they lost the spare key and tried to charge me to replace itand said they were there to help me with any issues. I emailed the man who sold this car to me expressing these issues and got no response. I was told they'd be there to help with any issues, but instead was lied to about what I was buying. It shouldnt be this hard for a first time car buyer to go through this process without getting lied to or taken advantage of.

    I have dealt with Wedekind Motors for over 40 years and I have purchased numerous cars from them. They are always willing to negotiate to a fair price and fully service the car to the customers satisfaction prior to completing the deal.. Art and his team of sales people are polite, respectful and friendly, and I would never consider going to another dealership. Simply put, Wedekind Motors is top notch … both in sales and service!! When I am ready to purchase my next vehicle you can be sure I’ll go to Wedekinds!!
