Buyer Beware I have to say, this has had to be the worst and shadiest dealership I have ever had the unfortunate experience of dealing with. I urge anyone to find I have to say, this has had to be the worst and shadiest dealership I have ever had the unfortunate experience of dealing with. I urge anyone to find somewhere else if looking for a new or used car. It all started 4 months ago when me and my partner bought a car from this company, at first we were thrilled it was a beautiful fiat 500c 2014, very low kilometres on it. I will say here the only good part of this company was the sales person Jacques, he was a great person who is unfortunately now linked to this company. So now we have our car and 4 months in we go to do groceries one day and all of a sudden the cars gears stopped working, it wouldn't lock into any of the first through to reverse. We called Caron to explain the situation and we were informed that it would be at least 4 days before they could even get the car in, and that's if we get it to them. Now we also paid for this 5 star warrenty they offer so we called them as well, none of them offere a service for towing the car. We did have roadside assistance who offered to tow the car to the nearest fiat dealership So we called both Caron and Global warrenty and we received permission from them to bring the car to the fiat dealership, which we did. After getting there and the dealership doing some Checking we find out that the cables for the gear shift had snapped and that all our shocks and struts had to be replaced. We were shocked as this car had only 59.000 km on it when we bought it and we only put 3,000 km on it, and we were informed the car was very thoroughly inspected and everything was in perfect condition before we bought the car. The next shocker we received a bill for 2,400$ for the repairs. So we called Caron and asked them about this as they had told us the insurance would have covered this. Only to find out it's not covered, and even though we were told we had the 5 star warrenty we only got the 4 star which doesn't cover these repairs. We were fairly upset by this so we called Caron again as we had found out there was also a recall on the clutch for the car that was not Fixed by Caron prior to us buying the car. When we found out this information and that we were not covered we called Caron to see if they would offer some form of help here. Caron's response was that this was our fault and we had to fix it, apparently it is more believable that our 3000 km completely wrecked the shocks and gear shift vs the 59,000 km before they got the car. On top of that when we told them of the recall, they told us that's not their fault either and that the dealership was upselling is on everything. Of course our manual car is being upsold to us? Cause I'm sure it doesn't need a working gear shifter to drive anywhere? I'm wondering if they break lines went would that be the same response if we were in a serious accident. Oh that's upselling you don't need those. Even the shocks and struts were shocking. We are not unreasonable either we just wanted them to offer something on a car we had purchased for moths previously and were clearly misinformed about our purchase. To which we recovered the response that they were not going to do anything because it's natural wear and tear for the shocks to got and gear shift cables to snap after 3000km Again buyers beware here this experience has really opened my eyes to how some companies will lie and cheat to get your money, don't purchase a vehicle , the purchase experience will be great but the after car will leave you dishing out more money right from the 31st day, after all they want to make sure you can't return it More

We could not because with our car or the experience with the dealership. More

We drove several and settled on a low mileage RVR. . The sales approach was good and no pressure tactics used unlike we had run into at other dealerships during our search.

Best Used car dealership in Ottawa Car-on Auto does it again my Wife and went into to Car-on to take our Son's car in for warranty work and we walked out with a very nice Pre owned car Car-on Auto does it again my Wife and went into to Car-on to take our Son's car in for warranty work and we walked out with a very nice Pre owned car for my Wife this is the second vehicle we have purchased from this dealer and had the pleasure of having Super Mario once again as our sales associate. Mario was very understanding when we explained the type of car we were looking for he took time to take us around the lot to show us different cars and when we asked about certain vehicles he was honest and told us he would not sell us certain cars I was impressed as usually car salesman only worry about making a sale Mario ended up putting us in a 2012 Toyota Matrix with 57000 km it still had the new car smell and was under $13000 my Wife and I couldn't believe the price this dealership has very clean cars with low mileage and affordable prices The whole staff at Car-on From Mario in Sales to Simon in financing and Alex in Service and all the people we don't see from prepping for delivery and the mechanics that perform the PDI's on the cars deserves tremendous Applause they made my Wife's and my experience once again an enjoyable purchase this is our second purchase from Car-on and Mario and will not be our last Never have I ever walked into a dealer to purchase a car and have been able to pick it up the following day Simone is a miracle worker he made the financing go very smooth and was very informative on all the options that were available to us. Then comes Alex in service we went to see him about having window tint done he didn't hesitate picked up the phone called his installer and we were booked in and the job was awesome and affordable the service department makes you feel like family I have great trust in them with all my vehicles and that's a hard thing as you don't find to many honest mechanics anymore. To put this in words all we can say is WOW Factor came into play again thanks to all the staff at Car-on for a most enjoyable adventure and we are actually looking forward to our next service appointment as they always make you feel like Family thankyou Mario it has been a pleasure.
