Bowlings Used Cars — Local services in Canton

Do not trust this dealership. A friend of mine was approved for a loan for a particular amount to cover the entire cost of the vehicle. Asking them at least five times to put breaks on the car so it could be test driven and being told they can't they don't have time they finally said they had replaced them. Driving the car completely on e with squeaky brakes completely out of alignment one tire with less than 20% tread, and other suspension issues. We decided to go ahead and make a deal on the car we agreed on a certain amount and negotiation to cover what would have to be paid out of pocket for the repairs. We shook on it made a deal all the paperwork. Going to pick up the car the next day they were very irate and began to tell a buddy of mine he can no longer get the car he didn't have enough money and that they miscalculated and there were many miscommunications between the finance departments and the dealership. Taking absolutely no responsibility for their mistakes or accommodating in any way we still began to negotiate to drive the car off the lot once again they became very irate and began making more excuses so why they backed out on a deal that was already finalized after they had already ran for hard inquiries just began to make excuse after excuse after excuse even when the sticker price amount was exceeded there was absolutely no way to drive car off the lot there was nothing they could do no accommodating. I would not trust this dealership, they breach contracts take back finalized purchases and talk to their customers like their aggravating and annoying them. Most of their cars are wrecked have over 200,000 miles and they false advertise. Beware of this company. I recommended this dealership to my friend because I heard decades ago they did good business but after reading all of their horrible reviews now I know their company has gone to the ground. These people are greedy and I...

Looked at a lime green 2011 Ford escape on Friday August 4th 2023. They claimed they drove it back from auction on Tuesday August 1st 2023. When I test drove it, I noticed that all four tires were bald. And I do mean bald! And although it drove very well and had good power, there was a rattle in the front end as you hit even small bumps. Also, the bottom of the lift gate was almost rusted through and the passenger rear tail light had water in it. When I pointed all these things out to the woman we were dealing with she told us that the car hadn't even been serviced yet. Now I know that if they drove it back from the auction, they had to hear the rattling in the front end. Anyway, we were interested in the car but the listed problems needed addressed. She said she would talk to the owner and call me the next day. When she did call, it was to inform me that the car had sold. So not only did they not want to address any of the vehicle's issues, they sold what may be an unsafe car For $8,000. When in reality it wasn't worth more than $4,000. The new owner will have to now fix all the issues which will probably be at least a $1,500 bill. Will never...

Buyer beware! Make sure you get a carfax. We drove from Columbus to buy a VW Beetle. As soon as I got it home, we had problems with the lock and window. Bowlings did honor their 50% warranty and helped pay for it. I drove the car for 9 months. It was fun to drive but too small so i tried to trade it in but was told it was wrecked. Took it to Buyers in Columbus to get a/c fixed so I can try to sell it and was told it was put together so poorly the a/c lines will keep melting. I don't believe Bowlings put it back together but we should have been told it was wrecked. Bowlings bought the car at auction and it was disclosed to have been wrecked at that time. By Ohio law, it should have been disclosed to the buyer. After many phone calls and mentioning a lawsuit and contacting the attorney general, Bowlings did buy back the car at a lower price than we thought it should be but we couldnt sell it knowing the damage. The owner said " it fell through the cracks". Dont let yours be. Get a carfax before buying from...
