Some that self cars whiteout warranty see a alot of car seller. In Europa the car need to go to have paper he is Oke and is noting rong whit it and have 6 ore 1 year warranty. But the USA you can do whatever you want and that is the problems

[@Apeman_king_of_apes]

I legitimately wanted to buy some of these seat covers, because they actually look nice. However, they don't have a super wide selection. Wanted a set for my Ford truck bench seat, but they only have them for the back seats. Wouldn't be able to fold the seat with that cover on, sadly.

[@alcasey3551]

IfI remembercorrectly, the ecu is behind the skirt under the passenger fender. I wire might be chaffed or water got to that area after the accident or not even related. Remoce the connction to the ECU check for green crusties and make sure the plug is seated correctly and make sure the wiing loom isn't damaged

[@rajcam80]

You did nothing wrong. I understand the situation. People always think your at fault, even when you're not.

We only ever hear one side of the story you know. Not saying Craig is lying but there are ALWAYS 2 sides to a story and we ONLY ever hear one of them.

[@htgf5640]

agree, you went above and beyond. If the buyer or the people that referred them to you are angry with you then they are out of their mind. No dealer would have bent over backwards the way you did.

[@ricdonato4328]

"... think your at fault..." Please, learn the proper written use for you're or you are, and your. Although when spoken you're and your sound the same, when written, they have completely different meanings and usages. Remember, when writing the word your, that which follows belongs to the person you are writing to.

[@carlosturcios4771]

Dude I can’t stress enough you have to be one of the best dealers out there, you are such an honest person who in this world would do that for anyone .I leave in Boston, MA and will definitely go to your dealership whenever I’m thinking to get another car.

[@augustbaby8254]

I’m going thru this right now with a customer. 1st it’s been some catalytic converter problems which I had to replace both manifold cats. On the way from the auto part store the transmission started slipping. Oj the way to the mechanic shop I got into an minor accident in stop and go traffic. So now I have another vehicle that I have to get the front bumper fixed, my insurance is going up and points on my license. This has been an absolute nightmare.

[@richardmorris6365]

The fact that he's stressing this at all speaks volumes. You wreck it you own it.

[@sheiladavis2304]

Craig by the sounds of things you went above and beyond. You are the needle in the haystack of used car salesmen. You take pride in your name and business and don’t go out of your way to screw over customers. You believe someone should get what they pay for and nowadays that’s rare. It makes me wish you were my local used car dealer. Please don’t take the compliment lightly as any of my dealing with a used lot have left me feeling violated.

[@IrishScott71]

I don’t think you could have handled this situation any better than you did. I saw both episodes… you humbled yourself which many respect!!

[@djparra41]

Imagine being a couple that’s old enough to have a 16 year and being surprised that a 160,000 mile Chrysler product has problems, a dealer of any code of ethics won’t take back a car that’s been t-boned and thinks that dealer’s in the wrong. 🤨

[@landcruiser7936]

100% agree, my daughter wanted a wrangler. I told her they are junk and since we’re a Toyota family she got a Camry 😊

[@SunnynPhilly]

Definitely not your fault fiat/ Chrysler/ Stellantis aren’t built to last as long as Toyotas Craig. But these episodes are a clever way to balance out the negative Facebook post from the lady who bought an old jeep and was surprised it wasn’t perfect. They could of got their daughter a 4Runner or a Corolla, …or a new car with a factory warranty.

My question is why are they buying 16 year olds newish cars, without a doubt they’re gonna get crashed. You buy a hoopty. I also don’t get girls and their attractions to these Jeep junkers, all around trash.

[@MrPaige222]

When i sold cars, i was exactly the same as you. I always told the customers that every car on my lot ( including theirs) was going to be in a scrapyard within 15 years. And it was impossible for anyone to know what was going to break and when. I specialized in 4 to 6 thousand dollar vehicles. Absolutely loved 80 percent of the customers. The ones shopping for a 6k car with expectations of getting a 15k vehicle drove me nuts

[@brettleewilliams]

SO many idiots with champagne taste on a beer budget. Anyone who hasn't sold cars or waited tables absolutely should! The world would be a better place.

[@johngodbout7341]

Down the road, when they deal with someone who isn't as generous as you were in this situation, they'll realize that you went out of your way to help them out, when you didn't have to. Dealing with these type of situations takes years off your life, putting up with the stress. Those seat covers are great, and an excellent option to replacing seats, or having them recovered.

[@TheSupervillain316]

Particularly if they run across someone who is shady, they just might ruminate on this experience and compare

[@ray31129]

Craig, you are a good car dealer! You went above and beyond. Much respect

[@brianred8]

Dude, MOST dealers wouldn’t have taken it back in BETTER condition than they sold it to them!!!! If I were in the market for a car, I would definitely buy one from you!!!! We need more businesses like yours.

[@xxfivexx_gaming2175]

I commend you for fixing this situation and you definitely went way above and beyond what any dealer would do. This shows your value as a good honest person. Your the dealer we all need. Thank you

[@paulszydlowski7990]

Craig. Dont beat yourself up over this sale/return. You did your best and that is all you can do. I would have given them their money back and if the customer still was not happy then thats on them. Keep up the good work.

[@SamD-km7up]

This dudes videos are so good. I love watching him. Lol so informative transparent.

[@grantlewton]

You are very kind to say only "off-putting" when describing the customers villainizing you on Facebook. As a fellow small business owner those wildly dramatic and sensationalized Facebook posts and Google reviews always get to me more than they should.

[@michaelmartin2276]

I've been a car flipper for over 40 years. I am also a good mechanic. I go through my vehicles with a fine tooth comb. I completely refurbished them mechanically, visually and all potential safety issues. But there's always a few that are just crap. I just had a 2011 RAV 4. Replaced all fluids, brake parts filters ECT. Went to replace the 4 spark plugs and all 4 had been crossed threaded, the head was crossed threaded. It was done at the factory. It got repaired and sold. But I lost money on it. It was the right thing for me to do. I could have sold it or auctioned it but I feel better that the job was done and the new owner has a great running vehicle.

[@davidbenji1]

The JEEP might have been a bad experience but that in NO WAY is your fault. I just can't see how the way you handled the situation can be interpreted as a bad experience. You were willing to work with them and help them the WHOLE WAY!! That's a GOOD GUY not a bad guy!! Those are HIGH MAINTENANCE customers and I'm glad they are GONE!!

[@robertdiehl9003]

Agreed

[@TotlKaos]

Even after the lousy social media post that did not reflect the actual interaction and facts I would have had a harder time doing what Craig did after that. I could understand the post if the dealer cut off contact and said deal with it but not when Craig was still working with them.

[@robertdiehl9003]

This Jeep will pay off in great KZbin content videos views so win-win. You may have one unhappy customer but you will have 392k KZbin car geeks in their glory watching and learning how to fix this jeep

[@Drainclinic]

Hey man your a good guy you went above and beyond what any other dealer would have done at the end of the day you took care of it hope your less stressed and don’t have to worry about dealing with them again

[@josenovoaperez4188]

Being able to watch your videos for some time now it truly shows that you have a passion and good heart for your customers, but you are in the business that is negatively viewed by the public because there are dealers who really just want to make a quick buck, but you show good promise in wanting to push that industry into an experience in which it can be viewed differently, with honor and respect. Thank you for your honesty and keep pushing forward, and also we need to see more Nissan skyline especially since they are booming now 😅

Also, you have earned whole lot of karma points here no matter what Carens think. Well done, Craig👍

[@lezivanerrol3697]

Craig - you've gone beyond on this situation. The physical issues with the car is one thing but the emotional roller coaster is gut wrenching. You pointed out more than once in both your videos regarding this situation. Repeat customers are the bread and butter of the small business owner. A positive reputation must be preserved at all costs. It's really a bummer that social media now can cast aspersions or untruths on individuals or businesses with out recourse. I'm now retired medium sized service business owner with over 30 years on the job. Never advertised, all business through referrals and contacts. I was fortunate never to have a major customer fall out. As an aside. In my country a vehicle with over 200,000 kilometers (120,000 miles) is just about unsaleable. Dealerships don't want them. Dealerships here have to provide a 3 month statutory warranty for vehicles over a certain price or certain mileage.

[@JWelk92]

Ending of that situation was way better than I thought it was going to be. and after seeing everything you did to try to make it right for the customer, they shouldn't be mad. they probably are, but thats just how people are anyway

[@415yankees]

You are what every car dealer or business owner should strive to be, car dealers should watch your videos and take notes. My son is 16 and will need a car in a couple of years and i would not hesitate to drive from long island to NH to buy from from flying wheels. You are the epitome of customer service, and these videos are all the evidence needed to prove that.

[@gavinblack7511]

I can’t believe anyone had the balls to crash a car and then ask you to buy it back. That’s crazy to me

[@CarlineSales-pz6mz]

He did it cuz of the insurance check, but he failed epically since he gave them the damn money back in the end instead of the pathfinder, or anything else. Under no circumstances would I have given them actual money back.

[@ThisandThatVideo]

I wish more companies big and small would put the same effort into building relationships as you have with this story. It sounds like you stepped up and made the right call to try and fix the situation. Things happen and used cars are always a gamble. Hopefully everyone will walk away with no hard feelings.

[@triver7593]

I learned real fast selling cars at a major dealership to never buy any Stellantis product or any Korean car.

[@thatonemoverguy5941]

I commented in the last video how i felt about the situation, this one i just want to make 2 points here. . . 1) you are a great guy, great dealer, completely honest, do more than you should, continually go above and beyond. 2) they are completely unreasonable, they chose not to resolve this from the start by denying your buy back, they accepted youre offer to fix it, they told you thanks and it was good to go, they then continued to expect you to do more than you should be doing. And now you have more work to do than you should or would have if they allowed you to buy it back at the start. Please stop trying to please these people and stop trying to offer replacement vehicles, ect . I really hope you just wash your hands and be done with these people. Im upset about this situation and im not even you (you are too good of a person)

[@tuckerburk8499]

That family honestly has no idea about vehicles. That's one of the worst vehicles you can own not just for that problem but for several other issues those jeeps tend to have a lot such as the air conditioning issues. Might be good for a while but almost always sooner rather than later you are gonna have expensive issues happen over and over. People have got to get over looks & how a vehicle makes them feel(as in cool). I see this so often

[@Codadams]

Man great customer service- you will never make 100% of your customers happy. Someone will always blame you for a problem. You did right even though that vehicle now has a lower value with a wreck on carfax. You went above and beyond- totally understand your frustration. Thanks for sharing.

That woman should be ashamed of herself for posting on facebook saying you wouldn't take the car back after her daughter got into an accident when she pulled out in front of someone (I'm assuming she was at fault). Regardless, I think you're an outstanding person and have 100% transparency with your customers. You didn't have to take that Jeep back, whether or not it's a lemon because of the crash. If they'd come to you before the accident and said "Hey, the check engine light came on shortly after we left the dealership, would you mind taking a look at it", I feel like you would have taken care of them. If it was determined to be a lemon at that point you would have done the right thing. I commend you for being a breath of fresh air in the car industry, most dealerships will blow smoke to get the sale, you don't have to do that. Thank you.

[@johnperry7534]

Sometimes you need to fire the customer. You don’t need their business if they don’t hold up their part of the agreement. They can be horrible terrible people and they don’t have a reputation to lose . They’re a bunch of idiots.

I think you were more than fair. I would bet most dealers would never take any car back, especially in that condition. Can you part it out?

[@ken-camo]

he was not fair to himself.... once that car was crashed deal should have been off the table for good. he gave them chance to buy back and then suddenly it gets crashed and the problem is back and they want to return it? give me a break... these people were fuckin scammers and he should be angry at the person that referred these scumbags to him. not the other way around. craig you are not going to last long in this business if you act this way. AS IS means as is.... the simple fact you offered to buy back was above and beyond. everything done after was just the customer taking advantage of the dealer. and craig got burned for it in the end with negative facebook posts.. if he would have just left it alone it would have been much less aggravation and stress and the same outcome. an angry customer that you never will deal with again. so why lose thousands of dollars on a customer u will never see again? lol

I am in the collision industry , and can confirm that estimate for the repair is accurate. As far as making the customer satisfied , that’s just the way it goes. You cannot make everyone happy. One last note, don’t ever do business with friends or family. It’s just a rule to go by, to make your life a lot more stress free. I have bought and sold cars in the past, and my friends and family would like what I was selling. I would tell them straight out, I do not want to sell it to you just to keep the peace.

[@grantreed7520]

All I can say is you are amazing. You did way more then those folks deserved. They have been made 1000% whole. Yes they were inconvenienced originally, but bent over backwards on that engine issue. But then she crashed the car and they didn’t want to take responsibility for that and dumped that on you too, even refusing to get it repaired. You then took on that problem as well. Then you worked on resolving their next problem by getting the Nissan for them. They rejected that! Sorry but these folks were unreasonable and not fair with you.

I purchased a 2020 jeep gladiator rubicon brand new and the check engine light pretty much stays on. After a bunch of trips to the dealership for about a year after buying it the mechanic at the dealership told me that the check engine light would go off by itself after so many cycles and sure enough it does so I just live with it coming on regularly. 😊 I hope this helps. By the way I still have my jeep today and am happy with it.

[@HavocFactorTV]

As an ex smog technician of 5 years, you need to drive cars way more than 10 miles to find out if it has any issues, I’d always tell people drive cycles are 100+ miles and their eyes would get big. 100 miles is even a small amount. Most monitors won’t even set until 100. Diesel monitors have taken 1000 miles to set in my experience. Evap codes/ issues won’t show up until 500 miles at times

[@caltagironem]

You know that Pathfinder would have needed a CVT 4 days after they took it anyways!

[@justinrobinson5057]

As bad as the situation went, you still made money and did the right thing. Do not discount the fact you are about to pocket 3-4k or more out of that insurance check after fixing that minor damage for much much less. Plus wholesale sale price. Exactly what I would do and wanted to comment on the last video lol. Turned that negative deal to a 5k deal all day.

Hello, i own a dealership too, and sometimes dealing with the public is too much. also what i learned doing favors will always cost you a lot more in the long run some have the mentality that you owe it to them. also we have helped thousands of customers and went above and beyond rarely do any of them leave a 5 star review.

[@karlos1060]

Craig, a lot of people don't have any understanding of cars in general. They always think that you have a crystal ball that works on anything, but that is not the truth. Otherwise you would always buy the perfect car cheaper. Also new cars can have a lot of issues. It's just like human, we get older and we get some defects. A real pitty the way they looked at it. Even more with the accident. They are clueless what something costs to repair and think it's cheap. It's never cheap. You did all you could do and more. It's their loss. If they don't seee that they are blind. Like you said who gives a car to try out for a few days? You are rocking it and just keep going. You will always have customers that are not resonable and only look at everything from their prospective.

[@sgttombailes3380]

You're too kind Bud. With Their negative FB post I would have taken all deals with them off the table. Let them deal with it themselves. Some people you just can't please.

He didn't just take a crashed car back, he took it back PLUS $6500 on top, if he would have just stood his ground on the pathfinder or any other car for that matter, and didn't give them actual money back like a fool, situations like these is what we live for in this business. Making 3 profits off the same damn car, plus selling a whole other one in one transaction. But he gave them money back, so he failed the assignment.

This whole situation sucks and I've watched it from the beginning... but I do applaud you for how you made it right for everyone including the insurance company 👏🏾 🙌🏾

Craig you went ABOVE ABOVE & BEYOND! Hats off to you sir!

On these newer engines. You cannot go 5, 6, 7 thousand miles on an oil change. And that's what people are doing these days. Newer engines have very small oil ports in the block. They build up with sludge with missed oil changes. Then the engine is junk

You went above and beyond for those customers. The Pathfinder was definitely too big for the daughter but it was a nice gesture and alternative.

That returning issue is most likely a cracked coil. its not common, but when it happens on these it is hell to diagnose. The error comes back when the engine gets wet enough to cause the coil to lose power through the crack.

I've had a few different family members in the used car business through the years. What is really fun is when a customer or should I say a person comes in and wants to test drive a pickup and you know it's because they're wanting to haul something and that's it no intention to buy and they get mad when you ask to ride with him and then go trash talk your name everywhere. When dealing with the public always expect the unexpected I guess

At the very beginning I thought it was going to be a dejavu of the Red Wrangler video I watched. It was a rental car that got deer damaged, not properly fixed and then sent to a car auction that you bought it at. Then it became your headache. But you guys fixed it to standard and the new owner got a reliable & safe Jeep

Respect for your handling the situation the right way despite the mom being petty.

[@MrTomtusti]

I was told years ago when you reset any engine code it has to cycle completely to make sure the problem is fixed. Sometime takes a week of driving
