Info WATCH OUT!!!!!!!! for Atlanta Dealers

While searching for a TSX I was told by a buddy of mine to use auto check instead of carfax. Man was he right. I have found at least 10 or so cars with damage from big to small dealers.

Then I came across this video online from a Canadian news organization called Marketplace (video link here). Its a great video and note what the carfax guy says toward the end of the video.

Another video about bad car dealers and carfax in Atlanta. Our favorite carfax rep is here as well.

So avoid the following Atlanta dealers. Atlanta used car center both locations, Atlanta Auto Leasing, Alpha Carz, Ga Best Car deals, Ga Best Motors and few others. You need to Run Autocheck before buying these cars. Don't depend on Carfax to uncover frame damages history. These guys buy junk. If you ran an Autocheck on any vehicle they got and it came back clean that just means its not frame uni body damage. It doesn't mean it hadn't been in an accident or flood. There is always a reason why a dealer can get a car a lot cheaper than the rest. If a deal is too good to be true it probably is.

Bottom line is DO YOUR HOMEWORK! Make sure you take your car in for an independent inspection at a dealer and body shop. Leave carfax alone, but just don't rely on Auto Check.

God Bless
