🚨 **WARNING: BEWARE OF AUTOPLANET DEALERSHIP FRAUD** 🚨
I recently purchased a **2022 Hyundai Elantra** from **Autoplanet**, and my experience has been nothing short of a nightmare. The dealership assured me the vehicle was **fully serviced**, including transmission fluid change, engine oil change, and filter replacements. However, after a few months of driving, my car suddenly stopped due to a **transmission failure**.
Upon getting multiple diagnostics from professional auto shops, I was informed that the **wrong transmission fluid** was used, causing severe damage. I provided these reports to the dealership, yet they refused to take responsibility. Instead, **they tried to make me trade the car or pay out of my own pocket for repairs**—a clear case of negligence and fraud.
After wasting **countless hours and over 10 trips to the dealership**, I was forced to pay **$3,200+** for repairs. Even after they replaced the transmission, they initially installed the wrong type (push-to-start setup, which my car doesn’t have). After another long wait, they replaced it again, but the car still had **gear shifting issues** and drove terribly. It was obvious that **they hadn’t even test-driven the vehicle before delivering it back**.
To make matters worse, when I inquired about a trade-in, they offered me a **shockingly low $12,500**, whereas multiple auto shops in the **GTA region valued my car at $15,000+**. They are clearly **taking advantage of customers** by undervaluing cars for their own profit.
🔴 **Major issues with Autoplanet:**
- They **falsely claimed the car was fully serviced** when it wasn’t.
- Used **wrong transmission fluid**, causing failure.
- **Refused to take responsibility** and forced me to pay for repairs.
- Provided **poor repair service**, delivering a car with ongoing issues.
- **Tried to profit further** by lowballing my trade-in value.
- Their **Carfax and service records are unreliable**—they repair cars but do not update Carfax, meaning you **can’t trust the service history**.
I waited **over 15 days** for a proper resolution, but they only focused on **making more profit from their own mistakes**. **DO NOT trust this dealership.** They claim to be the **largest dealership in the country**, but their service is deceptive and unprofessional. **Always check Carfax and service records thoroughly before buying from them!**
🚫 **Save yourself the stress—stay away from Autoplanet!** 🚫
