I bought a used car from this dealership. During the test drive, I noticed a particular sound and small jumps between gears. I had the mechanic do more test drives and inspect the transmission to make sure that what I was experiencing was not transmission problems. It took hours and they assured me in the end that the car was fine and had no trans problems.

So guess what. I came back to have the wheels checked out and they told me that the front differential was shot, and they wanted thousands of dollars to do the transmission repair. The noise it made (the same one I thought I heard on the test drive) was the sound of the front differential gears grating against each other. When I got angry and told them that I had bought the car with the condition, they tried to tell me that I didn't buy it from them.

I had been their customer for two years, for both my old car and the new used one. I recognized their faces. I had their name around my license plate. And they tried to say that they had no record of selling the car to me.
Horrendous.

I found your blog while searching for other problems that people have had with Subaru of Gwinnett. I wish I had found your review BEFORE I had purchased my car, as I wouldn’t have gone with SoG for my car. I tried leaving a comment in your blog about my own (crappy) experiences with them, but for some reason, even when I register and sign in, the comment won’t post. Anyhow, would you mind it if I linked to your blog in my own blog? Here’s a link to my blog, along with a detailed log of all the contact I’ve had with SoG during the process: http://lizzie9208.livejournal.com/695296.html

Thankfully, my pre-owned Subaru troubles are not nearly as bad as yours, but I still would love to link your experience in mine!

I wish I had found your review of Subaru of Gwinnett before I purchased my car from them, because it would have saved me a lot of headaches, time, money, and sanity. I also bought a certified pre-owned car from them and have had troubles (yes, plural) with it, although thankfully mine problems have been minor compared to yours. If you'd like to read about my experience with Subaru of Gwinnett, check out my blog here: http://lizzie9208.livejournal.com/695296.html
I'm still having issues with them, but once everything is finally taken care of, I plan on filing a complaint with BBB. I already filed a complaint with Corporate Subaru, but also filing it with BBB couldn't hurt. I'm also going to write up my experience on review websites, like you have, in hopes of getting the word out to more people.
Do you mind if I link your blog entry about your experiences with Subaru of Gwinnett in my blog entry? It'd be nice if people could be connected to yours, just in case they find mine during a Google search.

I wish I had googled Subaru of Gwinnett and found your review BEFORE I purchased my car from them. I would have saved myself a LOT of headache, stress, money, and time! You can read about my terrible experience with them on my blog here: http://lizzie9208.livejournal.com/695296.html
Once my problems with them are resolved (because despite buying my car over a month ago, they still are not resolved), I will be posting my review on as many review websites as I can, along with filing a complaint with BBB.
Do you mind if I link your blog in my post about SoG? That way, if anyone stumbles onto my experience (I'm proud to say I'm top in a Google search for "Paul Corbett Subaru" tee hee), they'll also get a link to your experience?
