?DON’T BUY ANYTHING FROM THIS SHOP?
I recently bought a 2012 Chevy Camaro from Adam. The first week it started leaking coolant REALLY bad. Something that doesn’t just happen overnight. The AC stopped being cold. I think he put a couple of shots of Freon in it just to make it cold for the test drive. The engine also has started mis firing. When he sold us the car, he hyped it up. Couldn’t stop saying what a great deal it was and how much he wanted to “help” good folks like me. I called him after being stuck on the side of the road twice due to my car overheating since I’m literally spewing coolant, and he said he couldn’t help me just refer me to his mechanic. He said he would pay for the part. I said okay. His so called “mechanic” comes and fixes the water pump. The next day it starts leaking again from the BACK of the engine and also the water pump starts spewing because the mechanic installed it incorrectly. This has really made me upset and I hope that this helps someone from being stuck in the same situation I’m in rn. I will not stop until I get justice.

We bought a Land Rover LR4 from these guys in November 2022. There were some known issues that we noticed during the test drive. Door locks and a few little things. Drove great and for a good price.The car came from Birmingham, supposedly from Carey’s brothers dealership. So we trusted him that it was all good like he said.Six months later we have a blown head gasket that costs over $10k to fix. When the warranty company requested a tear down of the engine they found that the problem was pre-existing and was masked using Bar’s Leaks head gasket repair. So in essence this was a known issue prior to us buying it without our knowledge.Whether Carey or his brothers knew is up for debate, but my guess is they knew and masked it to be able to sell and not deal with the real issue themselves.End of the day, we need to pay for this out of pocket and there is nothing we can do except write this review for other potential buyers to do their homework on these guys and their cars in the future. Our advice, but somewhere else…

Me and my wife bought an suv from them! Seemed to be good with some rust under it! Rust didn’t seem over the top at all because it was from saltwater from boat ramps! After needed over $2000 in undercarriage parts for brakes, calipers, strut tower, control arms, and fuel tank holder plate it will be somewhat ok! Still needs engine mounts and others! Also sold vehicle for over $2000 more than it was worth by selling as a 2004 instead of a 2002 which it is! Took over 2 months to get him to get the plate! Very shady dude! Stay away! Far away!

I purchased a SUV from here told that it was in good working order but needed a key and to be programmed, After paying to have a key Smith out, the mechanic on hand has stated that the vehicle also needed a fuel pump which I had purchased and even put in, After getting the vehicle able to drive I agreed to buy it knowing that regular maintenance issues needed to be done, Fluid flushes i.e oil, transmission, radiator, immediately after I took it to the dealership to handle the few recalls on it, 110 miles later and while returning from a store the engine bay caught fire, I'm extremely upset that I put so much money into something only to find out from the insurance company stated that the vehicle had been poorly maintained and held together with zip ties and patched together, Now out more than $2,900 and unemployed due to the pandemic I am now without a working vehicle, would not recommend

My family bought a 2007 Toyota Prius from Dynasty Collection in April of 2019. We drove from Mississippi to pick up the car in Panama City, Florida. As we were leaving with the car the owner (Adam Pate) told us that if we needed a hybrid battery for the car to let him know, he had a guy that he purchased hybrid batteries from for $650.00 with a 5 year warranty. This was our first hybrid car so we thanked him for the offer. (Little did we know). My older parents purchased this car for me to drive back & forth to college because my car was older & I had recently returned to college to get my degree. As a senior this year, it is vitally important for me to attend my classes. The owner (Adam) also told my mom he had an extra key for the car that he would send it to her in the mail. It's September of 2019 and despite many calls, emails, and texts, we still have not received the extra key so we still have only one key to the car. On our trip home with the car on April 19, 2019, the car ran out of gas because my father, who is older, did not see the gas alert light come on. Not only did the gas light come on but every indicator light on the car came on including the "red triangle of death", which indicates the hybrid battery is not operational (charging properly). This car is totally different from other cars as far as where the indicator lights are located. Since we have never owned a Prius, we were unaware of the "red triangle of death". I called Adam Pate and he told us we could not crank the car with the "red triangle of death" on, along with all the other indicator lights and he specifically said NOT TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER. I called a friend who picked us up and brought us home, thankfully we were only about 20 miles from home. We had to have the car brought to our house the next day by tow truck. When we realized the car was out of gas, we put gas in the car & it finally came on but it would not crank because the hybrid battery showed that it was completely discharged (red triangle of death). I asked a friend about the battery because we could not get the car to crank & he checked the regular 12v battery which registered over 12v which is normal. He then told us we had to let the car sit, running, & the battery would recharge. We left the car running most of that day & it finally charged some but not completely. Two days later, my mother drove the car & called me to say the "red triangle of death", came on again & she was stranded in the car. I had to go pick her up & again, the car had to be towed home. We tried to contact Adam Pate & he said when the battery runs down this would occur. I began doing research on the car & found out that this is NOT common UNLESS the hybrid battery is about to completely die & a new one would need to be purchased. I called around town & found out the hybrid batteries cost about $1,400 to $4,000 depending on where you buy it. When I called Adam to ask about the battery he told us he could get for $650 with a 5 year warranty, he gave us the run around. He said he would have to find the guy's number yet he told us that he did business with this man... how do you not have someone's number that you do business with? It sounded suspicious to me but I called and texted for over a month just to try to get the number and he gave me the same excuse. I finally gave up on getting a number just as we gave up on ever receiving the key months before! A hybrid battery technician told us that Adam had to know the battery was near the end of it's life because they don't immediately die like this. Over time, they gradually lose their ability to recharge. Typically they last about 8 years according to Toyota but some can last 10-15 years. This battery is 12 years old. After doing some online research, I also found out that after the battery starts to lose it's recharging capabilities, any

This dude was really weird right from the start. His "mechanic" showed us the vehicle. I'm pretty sure we interrupted him hitting the meth pipe. After a quick test drive, cut short by an empty gas tank, the thing we bought seemed ok for the price. Little did we know, our transmission wasn't actually attached, no shocks, and a bunch of bs was messed up. On top of that, it took 75 days to get our title and plate. The last 15 days we had to drive without a legal tag due to his incompetence. He also threatened me physically after trying to get my tag legal. So bottom line is this dude will RIP you off then try to muscle you out of your money!

I bought my vehicle in April and was promised that the missing parts would be in any day. No one has done anything but give me the run around. They don't even return my calls. I wouldn't even give them one star!

Bought a vehicle from them and within a month was very disappointed as one thing after another broke. Vehicle tag never arrived, and six months later have not been able to get them to deal with the issue.
