SERIOUS SAFETY & CONSUMER PROTECTION CONCERNS — BUYER BEWARE

I purchased a 2009 Lincoln MKZ from All Approved Autoworks in August, paying $3,100 in cash plus additional fees at their buy-here-pay-here lot. At the time of sale, I was clearly told that any issues arising within the first 30 days would be repaired. That representation directly influenced my decision to purchase the vehicle.

Less than 24 hours after purchase, the car began leaking oil. I immediately contacted All Approved Autoworks and was refused inspection, refused assistance, and ultimately ignored. The promised 30-day coverage was never honored in any form.

Despite charging me an electronic title transfer fee, All Approved Autoworks failed to timely submit my title to the DMV, creating additional legal and logistical issues that should never occur in a lawful vehicle sale.

Since the date of purchase, the vehicle has demonstrated a continuous pattern of serious mechanical and electrical failures. To keep the car marginally operable, I have been forced to replace or repair numerous critical components, including but not limited to:
•	Oil sender switch
•	Alternator
•	A/C clutch
•	CV axle
•	Sway bar
•	Intermediate link
•	Valve cover gasket
•	Ongoing battery/charging system failures

These are major systems, not cosmetic or routine maintenance items. The frequency, severity, and immediacy of these failures strongly suggest the vehicle was sold in an unroadworthy condition, or at minimum, without adequate inspection or disclosure.

Most alarming is the fact that the CV axle detached while I was actively driving my children to school — a failure that placed my family at immediate risk of serious injury or death. This is not hypothetical harm; this was a real, preventable safety incident.

To date, I have spent well over $1,000 in repairs, carefully documented and supported by receipts, and the vehicle remains unreliable and unsafe. Most recently, I was left stranded overnight when the battery would not charge despite testing as “good,” further underscoring unresolved electrical issues.

At no time was I offered a return, refund, or meaningful remedy — despite later claims to the contrary. I have never been presented with a resolution consistent with basic consumer protection standards, nor with the representations made at the time of sale.

As a mother, the financial strain, emotional stress, and safety risks imposed by this purchase have been profound — particularly during the holiday season. A vehicle sold for family transportation should not become a recurring emergency or a danger to its occupants.

Based on my experience, I believe there are serious concerns regarding disclosure, inspection practices, and compliance with consumer protection obligations. I strongly encourage anyone considering a purchase from All Approved Autoworks to obtain an independent inspection and to fully understand their rights before proceeding.

I would not return to this business and cannot recommend them under ANY circumstances.

I bought a caddy from there once years ago and I had to take it right back the same day because of the brake booster was bad. The car was nice and all but didn’t last long so I sold it later on. I ain’t gon lie my experience with ALL APPROVED AUTO SALES was OK at best. They’ll be my LAST RESORT to buying a car from there. I took an ex-friend there once to look at some cars and I kid you not, EVERY CAR WE LOOKED AT AND CRUNK UP HAD AN ENGINE LIGHT ON. ❌❌
Note to the PUBLIC, they put the LOW MILAGE cars in the front that’s somewhat in decent condition and ALL the LOW END Vehicles that cost too much to fix in the back.
I gave them another try since they was under NEW MANAGEMENT 🙄 and bought a 2 cars from them this year in February 2025 2013 Nissan Rogue and 2014 Ford Focus. At to my expectation these cars was just traded in and definitely had a car fax. Do your research folks. If can do a car fax before buying. Until this day as I’m leaving this review Aug 21st 2025 both cars haven’t had any problems as of yet. I bought both cars CASH and under $10,000. Just a quick reminder, when you sign paperwork AS IS on it, that’s nothing you could do unless you have an attorney. I don’t know how the Lemon Law goes. I won’t recommend Ppl’s to go there from what I’ve experienced and seen but each is own.

Terrible experience. The guy threatened to repo my car although I was ahead on payments because we were bumping heads. So I just paid the whole car off then unfortunately some guy hit my car and insurance took it. I couldn’t get the car back for about 40 days and rental’s definitely don’t last that long. I was forced to find another means of transportation and everytime I called them about the title work that the insurance company NEEDS in order to process everything and give me my car back, they just placed me on 15-20min holds until I gave up everytime. Even laughed about it which I could hear in the background at times when I wasn’t holding. They only straighten up when I started reporting them to the state and the DMV & I threatened legal ground since they were holding the title hostage. It typically takes about 2-3 weeks so their doing were intentional. The car isn’t great it does have issues as well but for the price I’ll fix it up. My advice is if you go here do not bump heads with these people or they’ll try to get over on you. Your car will have issues and they will threaten you if you address them my advice would be buy the car in cash and just pull out a loan from your bank. Payments are cheaper but you don’t have to deal with these crappy people or going to their location every week or so. Another word of advice is to stay away from the 2014 Chevy Cruze,tranny issues

Got my hands on a 2004 Honda Odyssey EX-L, they were kind trying to rush me into getting it but honestly, the van isn't that bad other than a bad job making sure the engine bay was clean after a fix they told me they got done before I drove off the lot. I'm just glad I got a vehicle I'm very familiar working on. Honda's are well known for their reliability and from what I'm seeing, I haven't had an issue with it, other than I found out it got 2 incomplete recalls (which will be taken care of). Other than that, it was fairly easy getting the car, sucks its cash only, would be easier using a debit card.

UPDATE: So now my van is not running at the moment and despite my best efforts, I can't figure out what the issue is even though I am familiar with these engines. They still want payment and even if I got them to work on it, I'm sure it's going to be a long wait so while I'm still making attempts to repair the vehicle myself, I would suggest everyone to steer clear from here.

BUYER BEWARE!!!!!  JUST GOT SCAMMED BY “Approved Automotive Works”
2777 US 1, Ft Pierce.   Vehicle milelage advertised as 116,000 miles (kept repeately asking salesman (his name is Kenny) to bring up odometer reading as it wasn’t showing on dash)   He was very squirrely and said it was a button I needed to push, wouldn’t show me how, asked him 6x to show me, kept avoiding it.  Air blower blowing hot on right, he said easy fix, one tire was gonna be replaced interior cleaned and everything would be tip top today when picking up  SO he seemed a little shady and nervous when we got there. Upon signing paperwork,my 1st  ques was to confirm mileage, once again he avoided me. Turns out car doesn’t have 116k miles, it has 162k miles. I didn’t want to purchase the car, they said  my $2500 deposit was non refundable. It was a mess!!! After verbal altercation, I ended up taking the car (I felt I had no choice) And not surprisingly , they didn’t  replace tire, they didn’t fix the hot air blowing, they didn’t clean interior and they left me with zero gas!!!! Oh and the radio doesn’t work and the 2nd row seat does not fold down (as that is whatwe need to fit our equipment in).
