The guy used to work as a mechanic for GM..that should tell you he is dishonest!

by 1poodle

This guy frenchy, he thinks he's Soooooooo smart! If you are crazy enough to actually buy a car from him after you have read the reviews, then I guess nothing will change your mind. He used to be a mechanic for General Motors, and can hide big problems that the cars he sells has. If you like losing, then buy one of his overpriced cars and trucks. The guy has a big attitude problem, and thinks he can pull the wool over your eyes. I bet you didn't know that you can hide a lot of things by putting sawdust in the transmission huh? Well he sure does! He's the stereotype of a used car salesman. I bet the reviewer that gave him a 'great' listing is Barry, who does his website for him. If you get a car from him anyway, you have no one to blame but Frenchy and yourself if you don't heed the warnings.

I must say that i am extremely taken back by the reviews i just read. I normally don't write any reviews however, i felt compelled this time. I know about 5 different people that have bought 3 different trucks and 2 cars from him. They where all very satisfied with them and have had absolutely no problems with any of them. My one Buddies has had his truck for about 8 years and has no problems. Frenchy was one of the most honest and trustworthy guys out there. If there where any problem with any cars he sold it happened without him knowing. or i am positive he would of taken care of that. Lets be realistic here we are buying USED cars, cars do break. New or not. I would highly recommend him to anyone i know.

  • Pros: He will work with anyone, try to find them a quality used car.
  • Cons: none

If you want to get a vehicle that WILL DEFINITELY break down..buy one at Frenchy's Auto! (ZERO STARS!!)

by misterwaynesmith

Not to be a francophobe (I actually love French food and culture)..but it's generally not a good idea to trust someone named "Frenchy" who sells used cars. Sounds like a house of ill repute. And that is what he is running, but in a vehicular sense. He's got a bunch of used, on their last legs, cars and trucks.

He "refurbishes' them enough to hide the fatal character flaws, like a transmission that is ready to totally die. He 'fixes' it enough so that it won't croak until you've driven it far enough away that it's too far to walk back to the lot and get your old car back (and your money)! He made sure to clean under the hood because that is how he works, tidy it up and make it all pretty like..so that the customer (victim) thinks that it's all nice and new looking. Then when it dies on you, you will think, "but this is such a nice squeaky clean car! How could it die like that?" Easy. Because he fixes it all right...and laughs as you drive away, because he knows he just sold you a junker that has 3 wheels in the grave already. He's the absolutely WORST used car dealer out there, ALL of his stuff is TOTAL JUNK! You are throwing your money away if you buy his GARBAGE. Buyer beware all right!

Solution? AVOID THIS GUY!! He ONLY sells JUNK! Buy from a private party, they usually don't know how to fix major (and expensive) defects like he can.

  • Pros: absolutely NONE..unless you think getting a lousy car is a 'pro'
  • Cons: lying, cheating, sneaky..and that's just his sales tactics.
