    Dear Express Auto Plus,, I hope this message reaches the appropriate parties who can address my concerns. No one ever answers the phone or emails. I am writing to express my utmost dissatisfaction with my experience as a customer of Express Auto Plus. The issues I have encountered are numerous and have significantly impacted my overall satisfaction and trust in your company. Firstly, I would like to address the excessive repo fees that are charged to customers. These fees are exorbitant and seem to have no reasonable justification. It feels as though Express Auto Plus is taking advantage of unfortunate circumstances, imposing financial burdens on individuals already facing difficulties. Furthermore, the lack of responsiveness from your side is concerning. It is extremely frustrating to be met with unanswered phone calls and endless hold times. As a customer, I value effective communication and prompt assistance, neither of which have been provided by your company. Additionally, the condition of the cars sold is far from satisfactory. Despite being advertised as sold "as is," it has become apparent that extensive repairs are required upon purchasing a vehicle. This is not only unethical, it unprincipled. This discrepancy undermines the trust customers place in your business and portrays a lack of transparency. Moreover, the payment dates set by Express Auto Plus do not align or correspond with my personal payment dates. This misalignment creates unnecessary confusion and stress, as I am expected to meet payment deadlines that do not align with my financial obligations. These practices feel exploitative and unfair, bordering on predatory lending practices. I implore you to reconsider these business practices that not only harm customers but also tarnish the reputation of Express Auto Plus. I sincerely hope that you take immediate action to address these concerns and rectify the situation. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, ***

    I bought a car from them in 2020 after having my first baby, at first it was reliable & I had no issues after about two years of having it it broke down & I was on my last payment with these folks ( bummer right ) ok so moving on a few weeks went by the car was in the shop they couldn’t find out the reason behind what was wrong with the car, I gave up & turned the car in. I got a new one with the help of me Robert for only 500 down after explaining my situation but check this they gave me a big fresh REPO.!!! They say most of their cars are repos but did no work on the car before giving it to me Atall.! I had this issue where the car wouldn’t start the first time put it in the shop they said they fixed it same issue continued I complained again put it in the shop got it back it was fixed but now if i let my car sit too long without driving it would shut off.! I complained about that put it in the shop this time they gave it back check engine light automatically came on & I called back they made me pay a 200 dollar deductible for what they said was a 1100 dollar job but I couldn’t get any paperwork proof of the work they’ve done. So now today June 5th 2023 my car is broken down while my 3 year old was inside with me it was smoking & I was so afraid it’d catch on fire with my baby in the backseat. My hearts broken I got into a verbals dispute with the lady there named Whitney & she told me “ but you barely pay your car note though & you don’t have insurance to get it towed “ I was paying for liability through them & also another company which they told me was fine. I wasn’t paying my car note because of the money I’ve lost having a car I can’t even use but also not wanting to go without a vehicle
