Excellent selection of pre-owned cars and SUVs.

Excellent selection of pre-owned cars and SUVs. I purchase a Jeep Grand Cherokee from PJs, and I absolutely love it! They were able to get me financed with a low down payment and a monthly payment to fit my budget. Highly recommend if you are in the market for a clean pre-owned vehicle. Thanks PJs!

Thieves!

Thieves. Buyer beware. Sold me a car with frame damage, didn’t disclose. When I got it back to Pa and had another inspection done and found the frame damage, that PJ’s and another “professional “ inspector somehow all missed, Bill said it didn’t make a difference in how the car handled, which means they new about it. This place typifies every single stereotype of a shady car dealership and are just out to steal your money. One day they will screw the wrong person out of 50,000, like they did me. Pieces of crap.

Sucks

Bought a 1956 chevy an it looked great. But the issues I've experienced since have been a unbelievable. I only had the car two weeks with 10 miles.The disk brakes were put on wrong they are ripping the disks. I can go on and on. Warning don't buy an antique from them. They don't inspect them.

Dealer response

This was our last communication. It does not appear that there was anything else to say. "PJ's Auto World Inc | Terry Bennett It processed, but not the results that we were looking for. To have any chance on that car we'll need a huge down payment, maybe more than $5000. We have other vehicles that we should be able to help you with starting at $2000 down. - Terry Bennett | PJ's Auto World Inc Apr 07, 2023 - 2:26 PM Thanks anyway. "

Dealer response

The "Thanks anyway" was his response to me.

LEMONS SOLD HERE

LEMONS SOLD HERE - I bought a vehicle little over 3 months ago and has major issues! I was ensured that it had no mechanical issues (proof via text). I drove the car off the lot and it shut down that same night. They "fixed" the issue and got it back to me. Right at 3 months, everything started to go wrong, brakes, ASB, power steering, transmission oil leaking from where they "fixed" it, and transfer case going out. Also, said the tires were in great shape but were dry rot. Thousands of dollars down the drain. DO NOT SHOP HERE.

Great experience buying a car from PJ's

John Cappello, my salesman at PJ's did a fantastic job answering my (many) questions, and much help getting me a 69 Corvette. It was shipped up to Canada and there were no surprises. A great experience. I hope to deal with John and PJ's again and have referred a couple of friends to them as well. Kevin Tait
