Billion Auto Reviews

On August 10th I visited Billion Honda in Iowa city to finance a car. I had no idea which car I was getting, so I walked to the lot with Ryan Shelter to take a look at my options. I told him I'm not buying anything under 2020 and opened myself for suggestions. After we test drove a couple vehicles, even though what I actually wanted was an HR-V, I decided to go with a used CR-V. Assuming we were talking about a used 2020 CR-V or higher, I continued signing paperwork and gave him a 500 dollar deposit which I understood was for safekeeping the vehicle (not knowing it was nonrefundable but still signed for it). When we were running numbers and determining APR rates I realized that it is a 2017 CR-V but since we were still deciding if we were even going to get the loan we just left, did some research, and went back two days after to get a 2022 HR-V LX AWD. Ryan Shetler again showed us around the lot but no 2022 HR-Vs AWD were available, so we asked if there were any more of those coming soon. He said that there is a lack of new vehicles due to some chip thing and that other dealers are definitely not going to have the car I wanted either. I trusted him and agreed to buy the car (financed through my bank) but I had to get my new Iowa license to get the vehicle registered, so we had to go back there the next day after getting my new license in order to buy it. That night I did some research and found out he was totally lying because a found the exact HR-V I wanted at Randy Kuehl dealership. I was very upset and decided to go get the car I wanted right after my DOT appointment. I texted him to disregard any agreement because I'm getting the car I wanted somewhere else, and he replied the following ?!!! You will not get your deposit back! It's nonrefundable. You told me 2 times you are buying this!. I then basically told him how dumb I was to sign without fully understanding, and proceeded to buy the car at Randy Kuehl. I was going to ignore those 500 dollars, although It is not fair to have someone think that the car he wants is not available anywhere nearby just to get a sale. I am making a claim of those 500 dollars and taking further legal action if not refunded. I'm sorry that there are liars like him putting out a bad image for the company.

User's recommendation: Do not trust a salesman.

"No matter which Billion dealership you're at, the customer's always the top priority." NOPE. Our goal is for you to become a customer for life." NOPE. Was planning on being a customer for life and buying suburban after suburban after suburban, but after dealing with Taher and trying to resolve things even at my local Billions, unfortunately, will have to do my car buying somewhere else. Pocketing $1000 over an issue is more important than a customer for life. Poor business choice in my opinion. Buyer beware.

In February 2019, I purchased a Buick Lacrosse and it included a ValPro 5 year warranty, in Clive, IA. Billion no longer owns this dealership. The loan was paid November 11, 2020. How do I proceed to get the refund of this warranty?

We went in with hopes for a reliable family vehicle. I was sold a 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan. A few days later, I turned on the air vent and small shards of glass came shooting out. It did that continuously for a few days. Then I noticed the air bag light had been on so I took it into a friend that works at another dealership to see what was going on since billion wasnt calling back. I found out the van had a major accident on the title. This was not disclosed to me at any point in the sales process. I also found out, Ally (who they said I was financed through), has no record of a Loan for me. My signed contract says GM. Ally is no where on my paperwork. GM never ran a credit check. The saleswoman, and finance workers are shady and seem to do whatever they can to sell you vehicle, regardless if its legal or not.

User's recommendation: Go somewhere else!

Didn't have a consumer problem, was a employee issue, no complaint.

I recently purchased a 2020 from Gordon at Billion Auto in Rapid City. After the purchase and it taking weeks to receive my registration paperwork, I found they did not add taxes to the sale of the vehicle. I now have to pay all taxes to the DMV. When I spoke to the finance person, she said I should have asked them to add taxes!!! Are you kidding me? I should have been asked by the salesman! I will never buy another vehicle from Billion Auto.

I purchased a 2016 Nissan Altima on 8/22/2019. Very Happy. Along with the car I purchased a protection plan called VALPRO, a product that supplies ongoing care to the exterior and interior of the vehicle for $2396.00 On 1/18/2020 the Altima is T-Boned and destroyed. Billion Auto-Hyundai refuse to supply a refund of any amount. I do not believe a company should rip off its client base. At this point I do not recommend purchasing a vehicle from Billion and unless I get compensation for a product I can't use, I will not be gracing Billion with business nor will any of my Family or Friends. If this is resolved in a timely and professional manner I will gladly resume business as usual, if not, this will definitely not be the end of this matter. Hope to hear from you soon, Damian Morben.

they lied to me about fixing a whistle in my window if I buy this truck

I bought a 2011 tundra from billion kia in Iowa city 3 yrs ago. there was a whistle when in a crosswind. The dealer said they will fix it after I bought it. Big mistake!! I took it back and they had it all day and said they couldn't find the problem. I said keep it til you find it. they said ok but it will be on my dime. I don't honk often but the horn also didn't work. The one good thing is I am looking for a 1 or2 year old $ 4runner and I certainly wont use these clowns
