Repubilc Jeep
reviews and complaints

Went to look at a jeep that was for sale at Republic Jeep on south Federal with my brother in-law. On Jan 6th 2016. As my brother in-law took a phone call I asked the owner of the facility a few questions about the rebuilt engine, he became very abusive said I didn't know sh... About Jeeps and if I was buying it or my brother in-law. Then stated "why am I talking with you ". I know your type ?". He was laughing in a very strange way then walked up to me and got within four or so inches of my face. My brother in-law walked back in. I told him this guy has an issue with me over a few questions about the jeep. The owner was very rude obnoxious. One of the strangest behaviors I have observed in quit awhile. Based on my treatment I would not recommend this shop to anyone. If you do go there I would take a witness.

The guy's a fing TOOL! This place is a joke. Save yourself the headache and go somewhere else...You'll be thankfull.

Went there for a part they said over the phone they had. So drove 20min to get it. Once there, there was no one in the front. Spent 5 min waiting and nothing. Headed out back to the shop to get some help and spoke to, what I assume was the owner. Spoke to him very politely, as I needed some help from him. Walked out to the car so he could tell me if the noise I was hearing was the part I needed. He listened for a bit, but he seemed very uninterested in helping me out...I dismissed this as just a bad day for him so I carried on. He told me there are several diameters for that part and I needed to take it out to see which one he would sell me. Being the only car at my disposal and the 20min drive, I asked him if I could barrow a screwdriver to take it out. He replied "NO, we do not lend out tools". He literally expected me to go home, take out the part, and figure out a way to come back to get the "used" part (didn't have a new one)...a friggin screwdriver! Anyway, as he walked away and I was walking to catch up to understand what was going on, I happened to come up next to him and I put my hand on his shoulder so I would not fall trying to reach him, Well, he turned around and told me to "have a nice day". I laughed a bit because that was a bit weird for me. He began to walk away again and turned around once he got back in the shop and said "don't touch me, don't ever touch me". I apologized, but still wanted to see what we were going to do about the part, but he just turned away and went back in the shop. I left with no part and somewhat of a twilight zone experience.

This was unfortunate for him, because I wanted to look for an engine to be put in to my other vehicle and fix all the little problems this one had. I thought I had a good shop, but I was way wrong. This guy is a do*che to say the least. I don't understand how people like him make money from the public, but I can assure you he won't get a penny from me. Not even if his life depended on it.

He might be a great mechanic, but how could he if he a) doesn't help out potential customers b) treats them like @ss c) doesn't know what part goes in to a jeep when he's looking at the friggin jeep...this was the most perplexing thing. He kept asking me questions about the jeep when he's right there. Really?!?! and you call yourself a jeep professional...yeah, right!
