I would like to buy a car but I am…

I would like to buy a car but I am honestly little scared. I had a bad experience from one of their customer service employee in 2019. I was a new student in canada at that time. I registered. Then I was constantly getting messages. one day I received a call when I was in my class. By mistake i picked up the call to hide it my professor and hung up. Later I received an upsetting message from him saying that he is going to hit my credit since I hung up his call. He also said some other upsetting things. I know its late to post this review. But if this helps anyone, I am glad

Recently I checked out the website since I heard they don't hit credit for pre approval. It is true. But I still have this credit hit in my history from 2019. Thats why I posted this review.

Hi Athira,

We are sorry to hear your experience was anything less than positive, customer service is our top priority and we would like the opportunity to address your concerns. We tried searching our database for the application you completed with us back in 2019, we believe the interaction you mentioned in your review may have been with one of our partnered dealerships and not with a Canada Drives agent. We would like the opportunity to look into this further, please feel free to reach out to us with the approximate date you applied for a vehicle in 2019, as well as any additional details you may have relating to this interaction.

If you have any additional comments or concerns please feel free to reach out to me directly.

Very disappointed and will not trust them again, as their website gave me a price, but when their representative called me, he gave me a different price, and after agreeing on that price and submitting everything to them I was told that they will not buy my car. Do not provide them with any information unless they provide you with a written agreement first. Do not trust them.

Great Car buying experience

Overall experience was hassle free (car fax report, no haggling, quick delivery, and one week return with full refund etc.). This was my best car purchase experience.

Hoqwash promises

Canada drives is a company that is only focused on making sales at the detriment of the customer's satisfaction. I can not believe that a car I got barely 2 months ago developed huge faults that is currently costing me thousands of dollars. When I noted my displeasure and the need for Cana drives to take up the responsibility, it was ignored. I'll be reporting my ugly experience in details on google review for other buyers to be aware of the dangers of dealing with an online dealership like Canada drives. Zero integrity

I recently sold my car to Canada Drives…

I recently sold my car to Canada Drives and had an overall terrible experience. I filled out the online form and received my quote for my vehicle. I fully disclosed the crack on my windshield, as well as the age of the tires and how they will need to be replaced. I was contacted my Mohammed Sayed, who also goes by ‘Mo’. Mo called me and went over the condition of my vehicle and at this time the windshield crack and the tire conditions were disclosed again. Mo let me know due to the crack, he was going to deduct $300 from my quote I received online. Everything was fine and I agreed that was fair. We went on to schedule a pick up (which I paid $100 for. FYI previously they would pay YOU $200 to drive the car to their lot. I know this because my family member also sold his car to Canada Drives earlier this year.) Mo was quite pushy that I should drive it to them, but I didn’t want to commute that far and I paid the $100 for the driver to pick it up. Shout out to the driver Shaun Haddon! He was absolutely amazing and was the only non-scammy part about my experience with Canada Drives. Shaun test drove the car and came back and told me the guys at the Canada Drives office are claiming I did not disclose the cracked windshield. Mo called me saying I did not disclose this, but once I reminded him of our conversation of him deducting the $300 he suddenly seemed to remember and back peddled saying he thought it was a chip they could repair. For $300??? They told the driver the deal was off and to leave. The second the threatened to leave my review, they decided to take the car?? Canada drives is now trying to contact me to ‘ask me questions’ after the bill of sale has been signed and everything has been transferred. I refuse to do anything over call with these guys as they can not be trusted on their word and there is a severe lack of communication and morals on their back end. Terribly ran and I will not recommend these guys to anyone. Sell your car to someone else and avoid your time (and money) being wasted.

Hi Shealyn,

We are sorry to hear your experience was anything less than positive, customer service is our top priority and we would like the opportunity to address your concerns. We investigated your concerns and reviewed your communication with our purchasing team.

When you initially applied with us our team provided you with an offer based on the disclosed damages you provided us on your vehicle. Upon pick-up of your vehicle, our driver confirmed the damages on your vehicle with our purchasing team to ensure all damages were disclosed and the proper deductions were made based on the work required on your vehicle. Unfortunately, after our team received your vehicle in our lot, our mechanics noted a leak in the rear differential that was not disclosed to us in the sale. Our purchasing manager reached out to you to better understand the mechanical condition as this leak was not reported to us. We require all material damage to be disclosed before the sale is finalized and as this leak was not disclosed to our team the offer amount we provided did not properly reflect the condition of the vehicle. Our purchasing team tried working with you to understand the vehicle's mechanical condition, as a gesture of goodwill we proceeded with the original offer, and no adjustments were made on the basis of the undisclosed mechanical damage on your vehicle. Our team worked diligently to rectify your concerns and we have agreed to proceed with the original offer in hopes of bettering your experience with us. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

If you have any additional questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to me directly.

Thank you,

My New Ride....

The experience was new for me since I am a touchy/feely buyer. Your customer service made the process with little to no anxiety. They were able to provide additional pictures and video's of specific areas I requested to see, and my wishes were fulfilled. The decision making process became a easy one. The hand off went smooth as possible considering at the time of pickup there were several transactions occurring at the same time, never the less. My transaction went well and I was off with my new ride. My new ride was better than I expected, therefore I was very happy with my decision. Thanks again Canada Drives...

Do not trust them

Do not trust them. They simple can't be trusted. I had a car saved as favorite under my account of which the price was around $38k early November, 2022. Today, I received a price drop alert email, only to find out that the same car is now priced at ~$41k. What a joke, what a shame. I really trusted them, but now I do not. Have already asked them to delete my account with them too.

THE ONLY GOOD PART ABOUT CANADA DRIVES…

THE ONLY GOOD PART ABOUT CANADA DRIVES WAS THEIR DELIVERY DRIVER.

Dealing with Canada drives was the biggest headache I have ever had. Their joke of a manager tells you we want you to be happy and that the balls in your court.. Also, don't forget, we are about customer service. Let me remind you on all paperwork was filled out and a bank draft for $16,100.00 was placed in their hands. It still took 3 days to have the SUV. The best part is that the Manager kept telling me dates to drop off the vehicle and blaming someone else for why it's not there yet. He offered to give me a gas card for $200.00 that the driver will have when dropping off the SUV. (QUICK SUM UP)

This poor driver arrived to drop off the SUV and ask me where the bank draft was I never laughed out of anger before and explain to this gentleman they have already received it on Monday. As the driver made calls to finally confirmed the bank draft we proceed to have the SUV unloaded off the flat deck truck and trailer. I asked the driver for this gas card that The Manager promised he was giving me for all the time wasted. The driver had no clue what I was talking about and so no, I didn't receive it.

But, the vehicle arrived on time and I wanted to take the time for a special thank-you to Karran Mann for a great job unloading the SUV with care and having great patience in dealing with a company that gives people the runaround.

I love how they they will tell you anything to complete a sale…

This company is they worst customer service I have ever seen. Do yourself the headache and go to a dealership other then this joke of a company.
