Got A Great Deal!

I searched online for the perfect car. After Going from Used Car Dealer to New Car Dealer I came across Public Motors. I was skeptical at first, but ended with a really great deal from their Live Auto Auction they have every Sunday. I was going to wait for Wednesday's Live Auction but couldn't make in time. I never been to a live auction before, so it was fun and exciting. I found a nice BMW for super cheap, just got the car so no issues, runs great, I even purchased the warranty which was great since most auction places don't offer any kind of warranty. The staff we're friendly and nice. They gave me no pressure and explained the auction process to me. I even got to ring the auction bell after I won the bidding. Overall I'm happy with my new car and would recommend to my family or friends. Thank You Public Motors!

Not very happy

Finding a vehicle and sales process was good. But when vehicle needed repairs which it still does. I do not get return phone calls. Not somewhere I would refer anyone I know

It took a lawyer and 6 months to clear up their mess

DMV audit, Lawyer, and over 6 months of back and forth after I purchased my car before it was finally done.
They did not pay off the previous owners bank, they did not Smog the car, they sold it to me illegally.

DO NOT do business with this dealership.
