The team at Somerset Sports Car Sales were wonderful when I turned to them to trade in my new car and buy a used one so that I could live comfortably while going back to school. Specifically, Rich worked with me to quickly buy my car and sell me a used Ford Focus that I would pay for in cash. Unfortunately, after the sale was complete Rich no longer considered my business profitable and had no time to deal with any of my issues. First, one year and four months after purchasing the Focus it was due for inspection. As I do not live in Somerset anymore I took it to a shop in Pittsburgh to get it inspected, only to find out that my car needed an insurmountable amount of work done to it just to pass inspection. I called Rich to get an estimate for the work because I was aware that prices in Pittsburgh would be much higher than those at a local shop back home. The estimate was $562 so I took the day off and drove home to have the work done on my car, included was refastening the side view mirror that was knocked off. When I went back to the shop to pick my car up Rich gave me a bill for $870 with no explanation whatsoever. The bill listed things such as "replace both wheel cylinders, rear brake drums, rear brake shoes, both rear control arms, rear coil springs, and rear sway bar links". I'm not a mechanic but I do know that the odometer reading when I purchased the Focus was 63,729 and 68,802 when I took it to the shop to get it inspected. Not only did all of this need replaced but SURPRISE, nothing was covered under the warranty that Rich "highly suggested" I get. Moving forward, eight months later the mirror that they had refastened for me fell back off of my car! I called Rich asking him to make this right in any way possible because I would only assume that a body shop would guarantee their work for AT LEAST one year. Not to my surprise Rich only told me that he gave me a great deal on the work that they did to my car and he was not responsible for fixing this poorly repaired mirror. So overall, I could not be more dissatisfied with the customer service at Somerset Sports Car Sales and needless to say I will NEVER return to them for anything!

I bought a used Nissan frontier june 25, It was a used vehicle and was actually filthy. I needed a vehicle to replace one that was totaled, I drove it and it ran OK but shifted hard coming out of first gear, the AC was working, the brakes were anemic, I figured it was normal . Two days later the air wasn't working so I took it to a garage to have it checked out and to see why it shifted hard. The mechanic found a ac hose was leaking and a motor mount was bad. I made a appointment for them to fix these problems when they got the parts in. I called Somerset sports car sales to tell about the problems. He said that the air was working when I left and the sale was as is.

Also later I found the overdrive button did not work and the cruise control lever didn't do anything (they had the steering column wiring pulled out the day before) I should have crossed it off then.. Two of the tires were worn out (my fault for not looking) both taillights were broken the hood latch was loose and hood on highway bounces. I was having problem getting stopped with the brakes and I had 2 near misses. So I decided to get them checked. One caliper was found stuck and the bolts were stuck also, I had to buy new caliper and such. Note to myself and all If you feel bad about a deal walk away. I didn't but I will remember. Small dealers have less resources and are more interested in turning over profit than satisfying you as a customer .
