Jadta Auto Sales

We purchased a vehicle from Jadta about a month ago. When we test drove it, we noticed the brakes were bad. When we went back to purchase the vehicle, we were assured that the brakes were fixed and would not be a problem. They seemed fine on our second test drive.
We were also promised that the car would be freshly detailed before we drove it off the lot. They had DAYS to make sure it was clean and detailed before we came to pick it up. Not only that, we made sure to call HOURS before we would be there to pick it up. Artie Jr specifically told us to give them 2 – 3 hours notice so they could make sure it was freshly detailed.
Not only was it full of dust, there were cobwebs along the windshield and dashboard!!!
The brakes started grinding (again, just like when we test drove it) a couple weeks ago (vehicle was only in our possession for about 2 – 3 weeks before they started really grinding). I finally got in touch with Artie Jr last week and he said there was nothing in the notes about brakes. He said something about the window being repaired (which must also not be true, since 2 of the windows get stuck and we have to force them to go up by pushing with our hands). He promised that one of their mechanics or his sister would get in touch with me about a price for having the brakes repaired, which also never happened, as it’s been over a week now and no one has called me back.
After noticing an excessive amount of rust on the rear wheels, my husband took them apart today to find that not only were the brakes bad, but so were the rotors and calipers on BOTH sides. Those are not cheap parts to have to replace, especially when they should have been done BEFORE Jadta even listed the vehicle for sale! There is no way they didn’t see those issues when they got it as a trade-​in and inspected it.
At first, I would have told anyone to go to Jadta because Artie Jr seemed like such a nice guy. He is not your typical pushy salesman. But neither is he an honest salesman.
Another note, when we first got to the dealership to test drive it, the vehicle was stalling and sputtering. Come to find out, the mechanic had taken a part out of our vehicle to put in another customer’s vehicle that was having issues. Then he forgot to mention that the part was removed and not replaced yet before giving us the keys to test drive it. This is even more shady to me, as they are taking USED parts from one vehicle to put in another customer’s vehicle instead of doing the mechanic work with new parts. This should have been a HUGE red flag for us, but, sadly, we were fixed on this vehicle.
You know what they say– hindsight is ²⁰⁄₂₀. That being said, in hindsight, I would never, ever suggest anyone purchase a vehicle from this very shady dealership.

Not the best shopping experience I’ve ever had, and I’ve bought many used cars over the years.
Good: Nice facility, Artie was kind enough to wait for my wife and I when we ran a little late due to the weather. Obviously does a good amount of sales. He was taking calls left and right while we were waiting.
Bad: Ad did not reflect the car or it’s condition. Ad made it sound like a gem… It wasn’t. Obviously a heavy smokers car and had some ding’s etc. None of it was mentioned in the ad. Had I known that I wouldn’t have bothered to make the 45 min drive.
Made an offer on the car that was less than the dealer was willing to sell it for. Politely told me thanks but no thanks. His prerogative. Maybe someone else would pay what he wanted.
Ultimately I bought a 2 year newer, same model, slightly less mileage car, perfect in and out, non smoking car for less than Jadta wanted for the one they had.

Over priced and terrible vehicles! Stay away!

I paid blue book value for a 99 Ford Taurus in excellent condition only to come home with a vehicle that would not even pass inspection. A brake light was out, the rear defrost doesn’t work, and the main console in the front of the car completely came out. I returned it to their in house garage promised that everything would be fixed. The brake light is still out, the rear defrost still doesn’t work, they GLUED the panel back in, and now only 2 weeks later the car won’t start!
STAY AWAY.
