My son recently bought a car from Hedges in Carleton for around $1300.00...left for home (PA) the next morning...didn't even make it home to before the brakes go out (yes, pedal almost to the floor)..he took it to a shop who said they wouldn't fix it because it wasn't safe to be on the road. Took it to another couple places including Pep Boys who said 'yes' they'd fix it for $2300.00! Needless to say I was irritated with these guys for selling my son this car (and no, I'm not buying that they didn't know anything was wrong with it but they DID know a young man was spending his own hard earned money for reliable transportation)...so I went in to tell them how I felt...I met with 'Joe' who says it's a shame that the car isn't in Michigan because he's sure it could be fixed cheap by 'his' guys. My husband then buys ANOTHER car (from the auction), rents a car hauler and takes it to our son. He hauls the 'hedges car' back to Michigan and contacts Hedges to give 'their guy' a chance to do what Joe said...but THAT garage says they can't fix the car either...one other place says they could possibly fix it for around $1,000... Hedges offered to buy the car back for $600.
