SCAMMED by A Local Chevy Dealer. 

Mike as a used dealer you should know better that there is a reason why a franchise dealer is sending one of their vehicles to auction!

Mike, I'm a small family used dealer. My vehicles I sell for $3900 or lower, I only drive them 10 or so miles plus extended time sitting at idle to check cooling system. The other vehicles, $5000 to $50,000,we drive a minimum of 50 miles. I have my employees take turns taking them home and errands. I can relate to the franchise stores getting over on the used dealers. Some of my worse mechanical purchases were from the big stores. ATB and keep pushing. People like you and I will change the way customers look at car salesmen. Honesty!

The father and son duo at Car Edge are discussing all sorts of dealer and automaker scams and issues these days.

Transmission issues. I really wish we could still get a manual transmission in new vehicles. I’m not lazy I’ll drive a stick anywhere in any traffic. I know it’s not going out on me for the most part.

Still don’t see the scam. It was acquired at the auction which means "as is," I believe.

He buys a GM without looking at it, and he's surprised that he doesn't have a great experience? Hahahaha

A busy shop is a good shop. A busy mechanic is a good mechanic. Never take your vehicle to a shop that has mechanics waiting around for work.

I like how you go the extra mile to make sure your cars are functioning properly. You obviously care about your customers and the reputation of your dealership.

I kicked that auction website to the curb for this exact reason. There is no way to do a thorough inspection without a road test. And they run the other way when you try to arbitrate them

You’ve been in the business long enough to know all the junk goes to the auctions.

You're a really solid and trustworthy guy ...i'd buy from you in a second .

You should check the vehicle out in person before buying any auction vehicle. Auctions are a good place to drop junk. The good vehicles are sold on the lot most of the time.

Rarely does any vehicle I have get to the lot before I have driven it 50 to 100+ miles. I am confused on how you were scammed, and how you "made" the dealer take it back? You're around E-ville so it's likely it came thru Wolfe's. It's just another used truck and you've got an hour after the deal is made to drive it, if it was LG or R&D. Or the auction will do it for you. Personally I rarely trust anyone to do it for me. Regardless, after that hour it's yours barring title issues and a few other rare items. Been that way at every other auction I've used...so how are you making anyone take a truck back after you or yours missed problems?

Yeah...the 8 speed transmissions that they hurried up to put together and put in trucks because their 10 speed transmission wasn't ready yet is something people need to know about.

Notice that most trans problems are associated with the increase of drive gears. Whether mechanical or hydraulic combination, the gears are not as strong as the 5spd's w/od. Even the GM work truck had problems with the 6L80 series

An honest car dealer is like a unicorn. Very rare. Lon from Ohio...

People can take shots at Mr Chevy here, but I learn something I can use from every video. Thank you, Mr Dude!

Mike I appreciate all the knowledge you share. Been watching since you worked at your former Chevrolet dealership.

In this market a yukon with less than a 100000 miles from a new car dealer at auction is a big red flag

I love the content because it gives me a lift on what to look forward to and seeing how the game is with buying a car 🚘

Love your content Mike💪

Transmission issues, DOD worn cams/lifters, magna ride-When you see one, no matter what part of the country, run or be willing to roll the dice because it's a crazy gamble.

In Mt Oliver Pittsburgh, there is an honest dealership, called Beckman Plymouth. The only advertising Beckman does is the license plate frame on the back of the cars they sell. Beckman Plymouth is not located on the main street Brownsville Rd, but in a back a street of Mt. Oliver. One day I was talking to a man and I noticed that he had a Beckman license plate frame on his car. I asked him about Beckman. He said that they were the best dealership in the area. He said, "If you took your new Plymouth in for service. Beckman would do all the warranty work necessary, and recall work without asking " Beckman only serviced cars bought at Beckman. Beckman lost its Plymouth dealership when Plymouth was shut down. Beckman doesn't have a new car brand, now. Beckman is surviving as a Used Car dealership. I still see Beckman license frames on used cars Beckman sells.

My local dealership worked with me to unwind a deal, I will forever buy my cars from them. I understand this case was a scam but dealership truly wanted to help me out. Nothing wrong with the car I took back. There are good dealerships that work with people! Love your channel

Did you attend the auction in person or buy from the comfort of your office on computer, just curious. Going off condition reports is a real risk. It's a tough business

Every dealer is un honest to customers nothing new.

That's a seat belt cutter

Everything have transmission issue these day. Me, looking at my 4runner. Thank god i have an ancient suv.

Great content..thank you. Maybe a steady cam for your face shots....you're shaking all over my tv😂

Been reading about used car dealerships. Over 40% of vehicles have speedometers turned back.

Transmission "Life Time" fluid could be a factor

That's because Manual transmissions are best and they are being added out...

So, I am an auto tech, I have in my bay RIGHT NOW a Red 2017 GMC Yukon WITH A 6.2, iT HAD A 80K on the clock. I put a torque converter in it (yep pulled trans, NOTE; ITS AN 8L90 8 speed , NOT6L80 6 speed) and flushed out trans and cooler lines and put LOW VISCOSITY fluid (as recommended by GM) and the converter shudder is gone. GM put wrong fluid in it from the factory. If its a converter shudder, under 100k, a fluid change and converter will fix it. Negotiate.

As an Indiana resident that’s a temp tag that you get from the bmv. So customer probably had it longer than 45 days

Many good comments about this video. It still amazes me how a company such as GM cannot engineer & build a quality transmission. It isn't rocket science.

That's my comment!!! Thanks Chevy Dude!!!

What a shock, a dishonest dealership! Truthfully that is the norm. Just like the ages old up sell when you hit the finance Dept after your new car purchase.

Your first mistake was thinking any dealership is honest and ethical lol

That ford has the slowest trunk open close ever😂 Question: why can all this be corrected via manufacture warranty? Is it used and past the window?

Carfax? Autocheck? I believe their is a bulletin that you exchange the transmission fluid with different updated fluid 😮

There would be less issues if there were more manual transmissions.

You thought that a car dealership was honest and ethical? That was your first mistake.

9:00 I like how you casually call it a Ford Exploder...ha ha ha! Thats what we called them in the 2000's after they had some rollover issues. It really wasn't an explosion thing though 🤣

Not all of the cars at the auction are junk but all of the junk cars are at the auction. So beware of what you buy.

I know a lot of people who end up with transmission problems on today's cars by 80,000 miles. It is all part of government regulation where cars today have to be built lighter for fuel efficiency. I also know a couple of people who have driven several Suburbans from many generations, and they tell me they get a rebuild at 85,000 miles. They have reported the shops find stuff inside the transmission even though they thought the shifting was still normal.

if the buyer had purchased an extended warranty on this would it have paid to fix it ?

Another great video. Thank you. 👍 👍 👍

Great job mike glad u caught on to that dealer trying to scam u and cost you thousands of dollars to get that yukon fixed and its sad that its bas lal the issues its got because that was a beautiful suv. Anyways i love how you go the extra mile to make sure that all the vehicle's you get or have is in good shape and if they need fixing you get en fixed and i onow that you care about your customers and everything. Anyway keep up the great work much love to ya man have a good one take care god bless and i will see ya on the next one see ya later

had a Esclade like that gm store did a trans flush and reprogram and its perfect now

It's a great thing that you're doing Toys for tots. However why would I want to spend $20 for shipping when I can just bring it to my local toys for tots drop off.

Moral of the story. Run away from GM vehicles. They’ve been making junk for years.

But what is to stop them from shipping it across the country.

Enjoy all you’re videos you are a good person.

Get'em Chevy Dude! Grrrrr

At least your were able to recover most of your loss from the selling dealer and avoid arbitration with the auction house.

I’d really consider using your dealership to purchase my next vehicle. One problem, I live in Florida and would need it shipped and curious how the warranty would work. Do you get involved with Class A,B,C motorhomes?

There are red flags all over that car. Why would you buy it in the first place?

So it’s not covered by warranty?

If they are so slimy, why did they take the vehicle back from the previous buyer?

The new car prices keeping going up and the quality keeps going down.

Wow. You make videos that make you look good and fair and honest. Sounds like a car dealer. LOL.

Torque converter shudder can be fixed with software. We use HP tuner

Great job Mike. I think your videos are getting better. Thanks

My buddy bought one in August in Peoria IL and used it 8 days. That's it, he took it back and bought a truck across the street.

Black Hawk UH 60 I had a fly over real close the other day, Chevy dude! 🫡🤠

Sounds like the issues I'm having with my 2021 Expedition Max Limited. Actually almost returned it to the used car dealer which was Echo Park. Decided to keep it and give it a try but the Tans and Suspension were bad. Gonna trade it soon hopefully. Going in for the 4th time in the 10k miles I've had it for the trans.

Cars are being sold at auction because they have issues

I put 381,000 miles on an '06 Mercury Grand Marquis. Still runs like new. Never had any problems with the transmission.

My Subaru laughs...and then needs it's diaper changed

Can you do a video on the explorer transmissions and how you fix them...

If they are scammers why not put them on blast? They should be taken out of business! Who knows if they are scamming their customers as well!

You the man good catch.

I use to go to auctions. I know that you know more and have greater insight on these things. One thing that could be happening is, either new bidders or phone bidders and each has an off camera rep making the call. Then the bids start going so quickly and next thing you know someone’s saying, “hold on!!! I said yes to 27300 NOT 27600 pull that bid!!!” Then it gets retracted and at times it’s a domino effect! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Like always great advice 🙌🏽

that only leaves about 2-3 other Chevy dealerships in So. IN/Lou area and one has a worse rep than the others

I would love to buy my future next car from you but I’m in Houston, Texas. Not sure if you ship?

Wouldn't the transmission be under warranty?

How’s it feel to be on the other end now?

I believe that THIS GUY is the scammer.

Are sellers required to disclose known problems? I’ve always assumed auction cars where there because they had issues.

I got really confused on why you would return the Ford "Exploder" 8:59 when everything was good and seeing it leave the lot a few seconds later. But, I guess that was the Yukon that was leaving the lot and not the Ford.

GM has so many issues with those 6 speed transmissions.

My 07 F-250 has a 4 speed automatic transmission. Never had a problem. The new ones have a 10 speed. Nothing but problems.

2015 gmc yukons and chevy have bad transmission and engines. Do a video on the feel of the market at auctions right now plz

Lol honest and ethical salesman

I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. My 2016 Ford Explorer sport has never been to the shop for anything other than regular maintenance

If a dealership are not honest people need this information.

I bet I have a good idea which dealer you're talking about. I also live in S Indiana.

If the owner of a transmission shop can afford a C8, yo know his prices are not low.

Mike never said what the mileage is on the vehicle. That is extremely important

Nice, dealers ripping off other dealers. Now you can just guess at all the scams they run on YOU!

Check for recalls on the Transmission.

Who can programm a new keyfob for 2019 chevy Malibu near Salem Mo. HELP I have no clue where to plug the adapter or what scannaing the "QR" code on my Iphone. I want to get my keyfobs programmed and needd help.

Nobody changes their transmission fluid. These newer 8 and 10 speed transmissions are finicky and less forgiving than older transmissions. You have to stay on top of fluid changes or you will have problems early on.

A dealer scamming another dealer...think that is where dog eats dog came from...WOW

I am trying to program my new key fobs from tom's key but don't know how to get a qr code program. I am at a loss on how to program my Chevy Malibu (2019). What is a vin code, where do I plug t he adapter in. At 81 I need help and need to find some one to programm my new keyfobs. HELP, HELP

I still don’t get it? What was the problem with the trans?

now you know why most buyers do not trust dealerships anymore...

Exploder?!? Check the 9:00 mark. It sure sounds like you called the Explorer an Exploder!

Sad to think that they would unload a car like that without notifying the new owner of the potential issues.
