A minus 5 star rating would be appropriate for these thieves! They financed a car for a horrible person who used their 95 year old grandmother's name AND money to put down on it. She was never present nor signed anything in their presence so they took forged paperwork and a charge card with her name on it as monthly payments. When confronted about the situation they said that they would take any credit card that anyone handed them! Also had no defense for having a loan agreement brought in signed (forged). Have the conversations on tape! So I guess if you want to rip someone off by forging documents they would have no problems with obliging you as long as they get money in their hands! Scum of the earth!!!!!

If you are looking to buy a new or used car this is not the place to go. Walking through their lot you will see what appear to be decent vehicles. On closer inspection you'll find that belts are worn, brakes are rusted, and that many repairs are needed. After a month of paying for a Honda, I had to put several costly repairs into it. The dealer was not helpful and accused myself and the repair shop for the problems. They then told me that other customers had bugged them about having repairs done and that they were just being ripped off by the repair shop. It's not the repair shop that ripped us off, it's Gulf Coast. They are very unprofessional and even used swear words when talking to me on the phone. Insisted I bring the car to them to look at when I don't trust their mechanics. Also, insisted the car was in perfect condition and that I must've done something to it. The timing belt was 6,000 miles beyond it's limit, the drive belts were bad, the compressor clutch was ready to fall off, the water pump was leaking, piston 4 had lost all compression, the motor mounts are weak, all 4 tires were bad, the brakes need replaced, and had never had a tune up done. They fixed the car up enough to sell it and tell me that I can pay them to fix it.
