2017 Trax

Reviewed by Starks, Steve from Lafayette, INJune 22, 2023

DeFouw replaced the bleeder valve at no cost, since it was a recall, but did not go further to check the brake system. When I brought it back in to say it was not fixed they told me that the booster pump was bad but that it had to be ordered from Tennessee, which would take a week. This delay, which could have been fixed by ordering it the first time I came in, is now costing me an additional $600 to rent a car for our vacation, in addition to the $750 it is costing me to replace the booster pump. I am not happy that this has happened. The reason I brought it in the first time was so that it would be ready for vacation. Maybe there was no way to avoid this problem, but it sure looks like it could have been avoided.

Don't sell them your vehicle

Reviewed by J. Glander from Monticello In.June 01, 2023

I recently sold my 18 Subaru Legacy to them and they offered me $12,500 and told me that they only offer top dollar so rest assured no one will match them. Now the next day I see they listed the car for $17,500. Now I have no problem with them making a profit because that's the name of the game. But to jack the price up 5 grand while leading me to believe that their profit margins are small because they want my future business. Yeah ok not happening.
