A review site to me is a site where I can post a positive or negative experience. Mostly negative. For if I had something good to say about a company I would post it on there’re own web site. For everything negative I would post it on an independent web site thinking that they were just that. Independent! I have found that the DealerRater web site is NOT an independent web site for the public but a self serving web site for themselves and their paying members. I can see them holding non member’s hostage with bad review postings. Using these poor reviews as a motivational tool somewhat forcing them into joining their site. I experienced no resistance when publishing a bad review on any non member’s site. However when I posted a poor un-resolvable review on a members page, West Edmonton Hyundai, I had to fight tooth and nail to get it posted. I threatened an audit of their reviews to achieve the publication. Another review, testing the 5 stars rating grade, was posted and pulled immediately with the following messages:
Review.
I would most certainly recommend this dealership to everyone. They provided me with the most unforgettable and fulfilling car buying e...nce of my entire life .I felt every human emotion possible and then some. My salesman (Keith) was brilliant at blowing the smoke up my back side while the Service Manager (Jeff) and Public Relations guy (Tom) surgically rammed the stick up it. The General Manager (Dwayne) safely nestled in his office was a master at playing the invisible man trick. Magnificent I tell yaw! Outside of paying a bundle for my car they ensure that you just keep paying and paying through their service methods. And not just out of pocket but time as well. It took three months and seven visits later until I was able to finally get their stick out of my back side. Another dealership pulled that out for me. Although the hemorrhoids still linger. Heck! WHY wouldn't I recommend this dealership? LMOA. Click the YouTube video link below or copy and paste it into your web browser for my complete experience.

I test all review sites for legitimacy. I post both a good and bad review to see if they both stick. If they do stick I then remove one of the reviews and place that site into my favorite’s folder for future reference. I have found the following illegitimate review sites to be thus far: DealerRater, Yelp, Yellow Pages and the BBB (Better Business Bureau). And Yes I have the documentation to support my conclusions. Their ego’s present themselves quickly when confronted wisely.
DealerRater is a bogus front for car dealers
