Hontech Inc

Thanks for the reviews.... not going there. I am looking at different places to get a repair done and the case with a sold car review is not a place I want to deal with.

If I could I would put negative stars..

Last week I found a Honda Accord on Craigslist and called the number which was to Hontech.

Both the receptionist and owner's wife/Lorraine told me the owner/Joe Carney was not available, nor would he call me back if I had questions; come see the car and per Lorraine He/Joe stands by his cars. The next day, Oct. 17th, my son & I went to the shop and met with Joe, who said verbatim The car is solid and It needs nothing. I explained This was a big decision, I'm a single parent on a tight budget and said I stand by the car. I explained to him that I had called to ask him about the car but was told No, he's busy and he won't return your calls. He said I'll return your calls. Based on all of this and the fact that he was Honda mechanic & shop owner of several years I purchased the car.

On Sun, the 19th, I noticed several drops on driveway and upon inspection by a separate shop the next day, found out the car needed over $4k worth of work to be done. I was devastated. I contacted the shop and again was told by Lorraine that Joe was busy, wouldn't call me back and I could bring the car in. When I did, much to my dismay Joe was visibly not happy to see me. His response to the list of items was You should've taken the car in for an inspection before purchasing the car, The car was sold as is and I never told you that I stood by the car. When I responded that I trusted him because of who he was and because he'd given me his word that the car was solid with no issues, he became irate.

He began screaming that You should've known better, How would I be able to make any profit on the car if I'd done all that maintenance, pointing and yelling he said to my son YOU should've known better. At this point, I'm ashamed to say, I started to cry which is when he said Get your stuff get your car and leave or I'm going to call the cops. Things calmed down, said said he'd do some maintenance to the car and dropped us off.

He ended up keeping the car over the next 3 days. When I tried to speak with Joe on Friday Lorraine said No. I explained that he said it was okay to call and he said he'd call me back. She told me to shut up several times, she said You are a liar, You are bullsh@# and even hung-up on me.

Regardless of their bad behavior, I never yelled or used profanity in my dealings with either of them but the whole time I was mortified that people, especially those with an established business, could treat others with such disdain and disrespect. Shame on them.

Please be warned these are dishonest people out to make a quick buck and are not the mom and pop shop they profess to be.
