DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE. We purchased a car from them and with in 1 month it has been taken back to Shimons for service 3 times. The first time I showed up was because all the lights came on that had to do with tires. Basically the 2 front tires (according to them) were missing the tire sensors. Instead of fixing the issue they tried clearing the lights; I did not even make it out of the parking lot before the dash lit up like a Christmas tree. I went right back to Shimons to be told they could not fix it until the following day because they had to "order the parts". I brought the car back the following day. After 3 hours of sitting and waiting they finally started to "replace" the sensors. The following week I have to take the car back to them because it started to over heat. I showed up at Shimons at 9:45 AM and sat with NO clue as to what was going on until 2 pm where I was approached by the owner Shimon, to tell me it was the water pump and they would not be able to do anything until the next day because it could only be ordered through a V-W dealership. (BS by the way) Now let me mention that there is a V-W dealer ship less than 15 miles from the Shimons. Every single time that we questioned him(Shimon) he would become irritated and walk away and then he was no where to be found. After explaining what a bind I was in because of this to Laila (the sweetest person) she was kind enough to go and speak with him. Shimon came back into the office and sat to "explain" the situation; he told me that he over and over again how there was nothing he could do and again I explained what a pickle we were now in ( I live 45 minutes from Shimons and 30 minutes from my job) he pretended to go and see if there was anything else he could do. What he did was he got in his car and left without so much as a word and left me sitting for another 1/2 hour before I asked what was going on that is when I was told he left and that is what he does if customers become "upset". FYI, I still have no car and no resolution.

I WOULDNT EVEN GIVE THEM 1 STAR!!!! I traded in a car I had bought and paid off from them for a 2008 Jeep Commander in March. They had promised to fix the AC which was not working properly. I kept having to take the car back for the AC issue and they charged me each time I went back. Last time I took the car in, I dropped it off and they called me when it was "ready". It was Memorial day weekend and as I drove off with the car and got on the highway all the lights on dashboard turned on. The car started stalling and overheating. I was in the middle of the highway and I managed to pull it over before it shut down. I had to tow the vehicle and call them the next day. They sent a tow truck to pick up the car. A couple of days later the mechanic calls me and tells me a story of how I caused the cars engine to blow a gasket because I hadnt done the maintenance. I told him that I was no mechanic but I knew that it was impossible for me to have caused this since I had only had the vehicle for 2 months and it was not even due for the first maintenance. He said that the oil evaporates because of the heat and I would have to pay for the repair or talk to the owner, Shimon. I said that the car had been running perfect, except for the AC issue, and that I was not going to pay for repairs on something I didnt break. I asked to speak to the owner and I never even got a call back from him. I called and left messages for 3 weeks and nothing. This whole time I had no car and I was told the owner wouldnt give a loaner. I finally went to get my things from the car. Now I check their inventory and see that the same car is listed for sale!!! WOW!!! I lost the car and money for the trade in and stayed without a vehicle. In the meantime, they are going to sell the car again and make more money off it. PLEASE BE AWARE of where you buy your vehicle. I am not saying that the cars are not good but I cannot say the same for the mechanics and how they are doing business at Shimons Cars. Very unprofessional and a rip off.....

This place is a complete rip off. Not the usually way that most car lots are rip offs, but worst. More underhanded. They make you feel like you are getting a great deal and a great car initially, but when you sign those papers everything changes. In all actuality, they DO give you a great price. However, the cars are severely busted. For example, I bought a car from them a few months ago. They did not honor the amount in the ad but I still had a very small down payment. Once I drove the car off of the lot, the suspension dropped, never to rise again. The mileage meter didnt work. So it is still showing the same mileage as when I bought it. The windows in the front dont work, the hatch in the back doesnt open, tires were completely worn down and the tail light keeps going out. All of this in the first two months. There is no warranty. Then, they never have anyone working in the office once they get your money. I paid to have my tag transferred. They said it would take 24 hours. 1 month later, they repossess my car saying that I missed two payments. The tow company never called the tow in, and I find out that my tag has never been transferred. So, they took my money and didnt apply it to anything and had me driving illegally. On top of that, they didnt even apply it as a payment. If they did, they wouldnt have took it. It is now January. They took my truck when I had one more month left to pay on it, all due to one payment they were not present in the office to receive. They just want to resell it for tax season and I cant contact them to retrieve my property for work. I work for the Fire Department. There are badges and other important documents in the car. They suck.

We bought a family car from here that seats 6. I recently had a newborn also. Soon after driving off the lot with what we thought was a decent car. The check engine light comes on. Took to pep boys to get a read. Says catalytic converter is failing and there is an Evap leak. Took it back to dealership to fix and they kept it for a week nothing was done except resetting the code so the engine light comes on again. Took it back again they "said" it was fixed. Light comes on after 50 miles of driving. Took it back again because my newborn started wheezing due to the fumes coming from the car. Mechanic says it needs new gas cap. We buy new gas cap. Still not fixed. Check engine light still on. So we took this car back to them to fix a total of 4 times now and it is still not fixed. Feels like we bought a lemon.
