Pompano Beach car dealer sued over warranty woes

November 3, 2009

A Pompano Beach used car dealer was sued Monday by the state attorney general’s office Monday after a series of customer complaints that cars sold by the dealer broke down soon after they were purchased and had warranties that promised more than they delivered.

 

An investigation by the attorney general’s economic crimes division found that Hollywood Auto Gallery sold vehicles claimed to be under under warranty — but the coverage was only good for about $500 worth of repairs. Owner Zachary S. Kessler allegedly took deposits from customers who wanted to have cars inspected before buying them, but then told the potential buyers they were obligated to buy the cars because they had made a deposit — regardless of the what the mechanics found.

 

Kessler did not return phone messages seeking comment Monday.

 

Customers also complained that Kessler sold cars that would break down just a few miles from the car lot, had worn out transmissions and engines in need of complete overhauls. But customers said they couldn’t get refunds from Kessler. Ads for Kessler’s businesses also offer free CarFax vehicle history reports, but the suit alleges customers didn’t receive these.
