"RUNAWAY" FROM GIVEAWAY CAR SALES, LLC AS FAST AS POSSIBLE.

LIARS, CROOKS AND THIEVES............Go to www.sunbiz.org that is the State of Florida Official Site for All Corporations. You'll see the owner who goes by David his real name. Mohammad. Price of car 2012 Hyundai Sonata is listed today for $10,495.00 I get there after spending two hours sending them everything for approval. Yes, you're approved. When can you come in. I said in 45 min. The car ends up being $17,000.00 plus tax, a bogus garbage warranty 50/50, dealer fees, plus EVERY CAR IS JUNK......................

HAS TO BE THE ABSOLUTE WORST PLACE OF BUSINESS I HAVE EVER SEEN. RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN...............

I worked for GiveAway auto sales in Pinellas Park, FL for 2 days and sold 2 cars for them. They refuse to pay me the agreed upon commissions. I decided not to work there since they do not do any repairs to their cars and sell bad cars. They lie to customers and their employees. Be careful working at this dealership or buying a car from it. They are dishonest thieves.

Giveaway auto sales are nothing but fake people liars and they steal your money!! I advise you all to stay away from them and never ever trust one person there. First off i seen them spraying a cars motor with a water hose most likely damaging something or a sensor im sure, second they have no real mechanics just a bunch of kids that can barely detail a car and i know because i talked to them first hand!!! And also the car i purchased someone had put a deposit on it to hold the car, and he sold it to me anyway and not to mention deposits are non refundable, also its very bad business and so disrespectful to do that to someone who trust you enough to send a deposit. Anywho I got a car from their, gave a down payment and it broke down the same day, 20 minutes after leaving the lot to be exact and they fixed it once didn't work so they ended up trying to fix it a total of 3 times, witch all 3 times failed and all of this happened in a matter of 4 days. I never made it home with the car from day one. So anyway after arguing with both owners they finally agree to giving me my money after so much drama and hassle, well i went the next day and they had me there for like 5 hours waiting. They wanted me to wait till their car got there, witch was broke down from the 3rd time i tried to make it home. Well after waiting all that time they still gave us problems with not wanting to refund our money after they had promised. So we argued again back and forth for a while, they was so rude and disrespectful to my fiance and me cursing and raising their voices not wanting to give us money saying we broke the car or that there was nothing wrong with the car. Anyway i guess they got tired so they started writing me a check, but he was trying to take the towing fees from me witch was not my fault or responsibility, so again we argue but finally they brought us the check outside Telling us that no lawyer or no one can do nothing with him and that he was just giving us our money because he was tired of us. And after all was said and done next day my fiance writes a review on their facebook, and the owner txt me telling me that if we dont take it down he is going to sue us and that we dont want problems with him etc. All i know is Just please never go to this place because i promise you will get ripped off quicker than you can imagine. STAY AWAY PLEASE!!! Do you and your family a favor walk away with your hard earned money.

Worked for them for 3 weeks. Things started off fine. But I noticed after a few days, something wasn't right. The owners speak Arabic. They changed there real names from Mohammed to Mike and david. I sold 7 cars for them before I left, they will not pay me. So I filed a report with the department of human rights. They called me to come in and get paid, but all they did was threaten my life and talk s*** on America. I don't know about everyone else but I will not stand for that! They need to be closed down and deported back to The middle east.

Well i started by seeing an ad on Offer up for a 2003 cadillac i was intrested and i notified the posted sales rep asking questions before looking at it being i have to toddlers and cant be stranded on the side of road with a lemon she had insured me it was all kept up with and been kept up with scheduled maintance so after hearing this i was more then willing to take the trip to go see it and test drive it, getting there saturday the 29th of july 2017 i took it out for a test drive in five min the check engine light came on so i felt betrayed i went back and let them know they acted shocked then asked me to take it to the auto parts store for a basic diagnostic test so i said sure and came back as a 02 sensor that being relativly easy and cheap to fix i was ok with it so i did buy vehicle then on my way home 25 mile drive a message came across screen saying turn off engine no oil pressure i was upset now being turns out they lied badly to get rid of a lemon so i took it to a local garage they said its the oil pump going out and a few gaskets are leaking oil so instintly i tried to get a hold of the sales rep it being the same day of purchase still she told me to call monday and talk to a manager so i tried and left a couple messages for a call back and heard nothing and still havent. this place sold me a non working vehicle and strait lied to me about the issues then later that day i began to look in the trunk there was a gallon of oil hidden in there so obviously they knew something and ignored my calls long enough to not get a refund so now im stuck i have texts of our conversations with this place if anyone would like to see it but these people are crooks and also i am still waiting on my title and tag i bought the car cash but there not contacting me back.

They are liars, thieves and very dishonest!!!

They sold us a lemon, we owned the car for 5 days and never had it because it broke down the first day twice. Then after them towing it back two times cause once i drove it back after it broke down, so a total of 3 times it broke not even in a full week!! We had nothing but trouble from day one.. They didn't wanna give me my money, they threatened to sue me just for writing a bad review on their facebook.. They are garbage!! They also steal peoples deposit money, because the car i purchased had a deposit on it, but he told me he would tell the people who put the deposit on it, that it was sold already witch that is very wrong and disrespectful. Stay away people dont put yourself through this trouble and stress..

On Friday June 26th, 2016 my husband went to purchase a vehicle from this shady place. They sold him a car they had advertised for $1700, he didn't want that car but only had $500 to put down. Bob & Mohammad told him to just drive tat one for a week and bring $500 more in the following week and he could get any vehicle he wanted. he was hesitant but considering having no vehicle he thought he could deal with it for a week.

35...yes THIRTY FIVE minutes after leaving the car overheated & locked up on the hwy. he called Bob and Bob told him sorrry but I am eating you need to have it towed!!!! Long story short the car is still sitting and we have been cussed, threatened, hung up on and TOLD WE ARE KEEPING THAT CAR! Whatever you do DO NOT BUY FROM THESE PEOPLE. THEY ARE LIARS!!

Great Deal

I recently bought a car from Bob and was really satisfied with the help he gave me. I paid a decent price for a really decent vehicle. Car runs great. I recommend seeing Bob for anyone that needs a good used vehicle.

Where do I start,I hadn't even test drove the vehicle,and the salesman,David,was already running our credit.Whilr on test drive the car would shift,should have walked away at this point,but David said his mechanic would "take care of it,easy fix".After putting 3k down on a car advertised for 5k,with the excuse of they had to "bring up the price of the loan,so the bank would finance",we ended up financing 5k..another sign should have walked away.We left the car with them after being told their mechanic would have it ready for us that friday,this was monday,bearing in mind we are 1 hour 30 minaway from home.Friday rolled around,I was informed by one of women,"your car is being worked on can see it from my window with hood up",later found out car was in largo,not at dealership,so don't know how she managed that.We decided to surprise them and drive up to check on car,it wasnt there and wasnt ready,"Matt", informed us he was new and would personally make sure was ready,"David"stayed out of our way,not even offering to resolve problem with car,although he was quick to cash the 3k cheque we gave them that day.Finally picked up car Saturday evening as their mechanic wasn't able to fix the "easy fix", and a tech was needed. Smooth talking salesman "Matt",was in charge at this point,but wasn't there when we picked up car,it ran fine,did however make strange ding noise and would not let me floor gas peddle ,put that down to safety measure by dodge.

The following day went to start car,nothing ,would start and die,eventually called AAA,found out smart key was at fault,left messages with Giveaway autos,no contact was made until 2 days later,so much for Warrenty.About 7 days later car died again while driving,had towed to house,called Giveaway,was informed my Warrenty would cover it,nope the GWC Warrenty is garbage,not worth paper it's printed on,just a cheap sales gimic,the pcm had failed and the "powertrain warrenty",I was issued and paid 500$ for on the inflated price didn't cover it,was told by GWC,I needed better coverage..had vehicle towed to mechanic shop and received a quote for $1300.

Again I called Giveaway,was informed I could get a quote from their mechanic,I'm an hour and 30 mind away remember, funny thought I had a warrenty,with them and at this point had yet to make first payment on car.Then to my supreme "Matt" calls me back after about 3 days and says he has found a garage in my town that would" do repairs for 900$,and David would pay half".I thought great $450 is better than 1300,so I asked "Matt to send me paper work stating they were paying half,it was a new pcm,(at this point i had called a Dodge dealer at this point a new pcm ,flashed to my car was 670$),and repairs were 900$,then he starts to back peddle,he tells me he's not sure what he's getting into and would up to mechanic to give me bill,he had told me prior,"he was paying for new pcm $650,and for mechanic shop to install,and his secretary would call me to get my half,but he was paying up front for it",so I called the mechanic shop,I was informed,no mention of $900 was made to giveaway autos,and that giveaway autos was sending them the pcm,and they had quoted $85 ,to install it..so do the math if a new pcm is $650 and $4@85 to install,where does 900 come in,I asked Matt and he said who's going to flash computer,remember I had already called dodge, I know the cost.

I haven't heard anything from Giveaway since and have yet to make first payment.My car is sitting outside my house as I can't afford to fix it right now,we are not rich,and I put 3k down on a car advertised for 5k..it doesn't run..DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE!!!...There are good dealers out there ,find one this isn't one of them ...just to sum it up I'm out 180$ for a diagnostic for pcm 3 tows and a security key and yet to make a payment..if there was a minus rating I'd give it

stay away from give away

 "Mohammad Alshboul," or rather "mike," contacted me via social media offering me a job. I had a brief phone interview, then he asked when I could come in in person. We agreed on meeting that day. He asked the normal questions of what my skill set was and then proceeded to say how they did business in their establishment. He discussed what I expected for compensation, I said I have a base pay for any advertising, PR, managing, training, and then comission on people I bring in and people I close on. He fist said $600 for base, after four days he said maybe $500-maybe $400-$600, I don't know yet I need to see what all you can do and we will decide right pay for you." I said that I can't work for that low, with all of the time I was putting in that would've been less than minimum wage. He said "don't worry I will take care of you, just keep posting, keep rebuilding, do what we talked about, & will take care of you don't worry" I should have known right then and there that he was full of it, but I wanted to be positive and I really wanted to help the new business because I wrongfully thought it had potential to grow and become something amazing. He decided I was a 1099 employee, I have no problem with that. When Friday came around and I asked about my paycheck, all of a sudden I wasn't being paid for the four sales I closed, because I was "in training and on probation for first three days." Funny thing is all of those sales were done after day four. I tried explaining to him that I've been in car sales going on five years, and that isn't how any of this is supposed to be done. He didn't care. He finanally gave me a contract for comission, only it was more of a gag order than it was explaining what I would be receiving. When I asked questions he became very irritated and said I had no faith. When someone continuously changes and goes back on what they say, no, I don't have any faith that I'm going to be paid. I requested a contract for my base pay, I asked three times in two weeks. He said he never had anyone ask for it in a contract, that he would make up a contract. He never did. I told my wife everything and she said to wait until the next payday, and then make a decision on what he pays me. So I did. Can you guess what DID NOT happen? That's right, I didn't get paid. He wanted to hold my check until the end of the month to "Prove I wanted to work there." I said "absolutely not. You are continuously changing everything and now you're saying you don't want to pay me until a month out. I have bills to pay I can't afford to do that. That's complete nonsense and quite frankly it's bullshit. You're saying I no longer get paid comission to sell a car, only for marketing if someone responds to an add. That wasn't our agreement. You know what? F*** it. Just give me my check for base pay and I'll leave. You can keep the comission. I don't want to work for someone like that." I decided to call the police. I figured worst case scenario I needed a police report to document everything, best case scenario-he'd give me my check and we could go our separate ways. Well, I got my case number, because he decided to TRESPASS myself and the Other employee he hired at the same time as myself. Guess what he didn't do for her? The same thing, refusing to pay. I have documentation of Everything that I have done to rebuild their reputation, because Clearly they needed help with that, if someone treats their employees like that you can only imagine how they treat their customers. I have documentation of all adds that I created, video evidence, recorded phone conversations, text messages Proving he Lied to the police, proof of violation of the contract we both signed for comission pay, customer contacts for every vehicle I closed and every customer that I brought into the dealership. I'm a Very thorough individual that takes pride in my work ethic and professionalism. To spend over 90 hours at an establishment within Two weeks, and work from Home Every Single Night including My day off and when I was sick, and then to have him say I can go ahead and sue him that unless I come back and work for him to show faith in his business that he is not going to pay me? It's insulting. I even messaged his business partner "Muawea Rawashdeh" aka "David" or even "Bob", attempting to have him right Mohammad's wrong doing of not paying me, he decided to not reply. Considering I have bills that I am now behind on, it may take me a minute to hire a civil attorney, but I assure you, I will be suing him and this business. If you are looking for employment or a vehicle, don't make it this place, you will only regret it later.
