Just bought a vehicle here. I was financed and driving away within a few hours of arriving.

Very helpful staff. Ryan helped with the financing and was very easy to deal with. Rob was my salesman, and all my questions were answered.

If he didn’t know the answer, he would find it out for me. I’m happy

Bob Blumenthal Auto Sales - Got a VW 2012 CC on a Trade -in

I just got a 2012 Volkswagen CC on a trade-in about a month ago and my experience service there (Mark, George and Bob) was professional, friendly and caring about my "hesitant" situation to replace my 2004 (13 yr) old Jetta I've had since new and took good care of it with vw dealership through out repair maintenance and warranties. It was difficult to let go of it since it had all new doors, fenders, and bumper (rust free).

I can truly say I am happy now of my new 2012 car and that it was all well taken care off from day 1. Financing it was well explained and thought through for best option available for me. Was amazed I could take it home same day.

I had issues with car 3 days in and they were all there to assist me to assure I can get to work.

I highly recommend Bob Blumenthal Auto Sales to anyone.

Disappointed

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - 2013 Doge Grand Caravan arrived with no gas and fluids not topped up.
  • - The vehicle was not vacuumed or washed; there was garbage inside.

I recently purchased a vehicle from this company. So far, I'm happy with my vehicle but was dismayed to discover that there was no gas in it when I took possession, other fluids had not been topped up, the vehicle had not been vacuumed or washed.

There was garbage in the vehicle and no incentives were offered.

To me, it would have been a courtesy to provide these things to a client.

The vehicle is a 2013 Doge Grand Caravan. The sale of the vehicle was effortless, just disappointed that the vehicle had not been cleaned or gassed up, or that other fluids had not been topped up as well.

Loss:
$120
Pros:
  • No pressure
  • Friendly service
Cons:
  • None of the fluids in the vehicle were topped up
  • Vehicle was not clean

Preferred solution: I would like you to provide the cost of a full tank of gas and top up the remaining fluids.

Hello, A vehicle detail was offered(declined) and gas card, plus gift card was offered. Customer has admitted that the vehicle was NOT low of fluids, as they were checked. The customer mentioned they didn’t press the button hard enough, for the washer fluid; as we offered to top up and fluids that were low.

BMW, this is an insulting comment as you are clearly unaware who we are as a business. Bob tomorrow, is celebrating his 72nd birthday, he has been in the auto sales industry for 43 years.

He has worked hard to build up HIS name. To falsely accuse him of doing something that hasn't happened, or try to slander his name because of as estranged relative, is wrong. The person you speak of, his father is a politician, not an auto dealer. There is ZERO connection.

I am Bobs son, my name is PHIL Blumenthal, and I am 30 years old, with 9 years experience; all positive.

I invite you to come see for yourself who we are, instead of writing frivolous comments, trying to hurt a small business. Have a great day, Phil Blumenthal

Bob blumenthal is a very honest and hard working man, I never purchased a vehicle from him but know who he is. He hasn’t been involved in the life of his estranged nephew Darren for decades. Leave him out of Darren’s mess.

Guest

Hi BMW; Darren has zero association with this business. Also, he is not Bob's son. Wrong direct family.

Guest

If he's anything like his son... then that says it all. Just google Darren, and you'll see what I mean

Poor Service of Customer

AI Highlights
  • - Drove 125kms to test drive a Dodge Grand Caravan; it was not road-ready.
  • - 5 hours wait, brakes and engine-light issues, cheque canceled after bank.

We drove 125kms to test drive and buy a 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan. Took it for a test drive, wrote a cheque to buy it, but it was not ready for the road.

Waited 5 hours for them to get it road worthy. Excuses of its "lunch hour traffic" and MVI wouldn't pass because of the bad brakes. Then was told by Rob Patriquin (one of the salesmen) they had to drop the gas tank to fix the problem with the engine light . After that I wanted my cheque back but they took it to the bank so I canceled it.

They offered me some compensation to save the deal but after 5 hours sitting in a used car parking lot for a vehicle that was not ready for sale was too little too late.

Sorry Bob Blumenthal Auto this had to be said. I hope your business will learn from this mistake.

DO NOT BUY FROM THESE PEOPLE

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Paid about $9,000 for a 2007 Subaru; a problem appeared after a month.
  • - Need a new engine, parts cost about $4,200, and Blumenthals won't help.

I thought I was doing it right by going to a dealership. At least I would have some recourse.

I'm a single Mom just moved from Sask. Paid almost $9000.00 for a 2007 subaru with 97000k on it. I told the rep there was something wrong with it after I'd had it for about a month. The repair shop in Dartmouth is terrible to deal with so I took it to steel for a quote.

Turns out I need a new engine. $4200.00 just for parts.

Blumenthals didn't care at all. Strait up told me they weren't going to help me.

They are very friendly and tell you what you want to hear. But don't try to get any support from them after the deal is done.

Loss:
$9000
Cons:
  • Need for a new engine in my car
  • Lack of responsibility they took when i needed help
  • Service through the repair shop

Preferred solution: pay for my engine repair.
