Editorial review from Citysearch 11/23/2013

happy customer- I was very impressed with Shannon motor's. The care and effort the staff put in to help me obtain a vechile was amazing. With my credit profile and the monthly payments i wanted, it was very hard to obtain a vechile but they made it work. I was able to purchase a 2011 dodge avenager. I am beyond happy! more

Editorial review from Citysearch 5/25/2013

Don't even consider this shady dealership. I can't even emphasize this enough. My husband and I went there and by the time we were done I wanted to spit on the salesman. NEVER have I EVER been treated so crappy!! The salesman kept trying to stuff us into a vehicle we didn't want.They give you the spiel about their guaranteed financing (beware this is where it get VERY Shady if not illegal!!) We didn't buy a vehicle here, but they kept running our credit trying to ""get us qualified"".(legal???) Doing so put numerous ""hard credit requests"" on our credit files that stay there for 2 YEARS!!. We went to a normal dealership and were treated with utmost respect and bought a later model minivan that we wanted. Advice...avoid this horrible place at all costs, take a chance at a regular dealership first and if that fails...there are more reputable buy here pay here dealerships. more

Editorial review from Citysearch 12/11/2012

They are awful I purchased a car here 3 weeks ago had it looked at and was told it shouldn't have passed inspection for safety issues. Shannon also told me I wasn't approved for a bank loan and had to buy in house through there loan program with interest rate being 18 %. I received a letter from bank today saying i had been approved but shannon rejected terms in order to get more money out of me. Expect to have lots of issue should you choose to purchase a car from here more

If you enjoy being treated like your stupid,lied to even when you let them know your being lied to,and being told they do not know what the selling price is for a car,then shannon motors is the place for you! After walking out of the Warwick location when the B.S. was getting way too deep,I feel bad for anyone who buys a car from them.Just ask around,and you will hear the same thing from a lot of good people.They too could not deal with the stench from so much BS!! more

Shanon motors sucks! 2/16/2012

Shanon motors is truely a bad dealership they will rip you off. Its true that they dont care about you only your money and the comission that they will get for selling a dead beat car to you. Their cars are all f*** up! They seem nice looking on the outside but inside the hood everything is not fixed up especially the transmission. I finaced a van there few years back and that van has nothing but transmission problem and just last year my boyfriend financed a nissian maxima there. The next day the car already starts to f*** up which happens to be another transmission problem. Do not go there i just wish someone can do something about them like have the news investigate them. Plus their warranty sucks u still have to pay out of your pocket to get your car fixed and they dont even fix anything they just make it seem like they fix it but really they didnt. They did not even put an effort to fix it. I hope shanon motor will get shut down for good one day. Please someone help put them out of business and plus they dont even report your payment to the credit beareau! more

BE READY TO GET HUSTLED!!!! 10/22/2011

I went to the Shannon in Warwick after seeing one of their cars on Craigs list., What a mistake! They were rude and condescending. They changed the price of the vehicle from what they told me on the phone. The manager was so rude. Told me to be thankful I could get any car because I had repo 5 years ago! Avoid Shannon Motors more

Shadiest dealership yet! 10/20/2011

So I visited this dealership looking at 2010 Mazda 6 my sales person was David. He would not budge on the price of the car (15575) he showed me a print out of the wholesale ""value"" but added in all kinds of options the car did not have to try and hold his price. Once I declined he was not even going to shake my hand and got defensive with me for not buying the car. Needless to say I will never be back to this dealership and buyers should beware!! Shady Shady Shady more

Great choice 9/6/2011

My wife and I were looking to buy a car. Knowing our credit was not to good people told us to go to JD Ryder so we did. Let me tell you it was the worst thing we ever did in our lives. Because of our credit they treated us like we were nothing by low lives. On our way home we stopped at Shannon Motors. Expecting the same treatment we checked them out anyway. I was shocked when we sat down and I told them I didn't expect much. To make a long story short We drove away with a beautiful car. They made it work for us. And mined you a full warrenty. Thankyou Shane and Kevin for making it possible to own a late low mileage auto. We will be back more

Selling cars without title and vin check?! 3/3/2011

I have no ratting for them, My husband and I bought a suv and when i went to pay my taxes i was told they were waititng on the TITLE and I needed a VIN check.... isn't this supose to be done before the car leaves the lot?!?!?!?!!? so i asked the girls in the payment office why noone called me to tell me this and i get "" We dont make phone calls""- (in attitude by the way) and asked what was i supose to do and that my temp tag was going to expire soon and all i got was ""shrugged shoulders"" and "" i advise you not to drive your car"" Like REALLY?! are you kidding me?! So i took it into my own hands and went to the dmv and talked to an investigator and by law this should have NEVER happened! Car should have never been on lot &Shame on them, I WANT MY MONEY BACK and ill go elsewhere! more

Customer Service is Great 12/6/2010

The staff @ Shannon Motors is great.. They worked with me to get me into a car that would be the best fit for me, and something that I could afford. & The car is great, fairly new, low miles, and I haven't had any issues. You people need to understand you are buying a used car! Things could go wrong! more

RIPOFF FOR JUNK 11/13/2010

I purchase a 12 year old blazer my credit was bad and payments were 350 a month.I drove it home it was awful after closer look was in an accident mirror fell off interior falling apart.I looked under the hood the radiator fluid was a gooey brown color they did change the oil but not the filter and they over filled it.the transmission fluid was burnt and i went to check the air filter there was none.Two of the power windows did not work when I took a turn it felt like it was going to roll over.On the highway it shook becase it needed the wheels balanced.They sah they do a 75 point safety check I guess they do not check to see if the windows work or mirrors falling off or fluids.I could not believe they put me and my family at risk by driving an unsafe automobile.I went back and demanded my money back you are warned they lie and dont care about you they just want your money and dont care what kind of crapbox they give you YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED ! more

Expect multiple repairs on used cars 11/8/2010

I have bad credit and went there looking for a decent used car with at least a one year power train warranty. They sold me a 2000 Toyota Camry, which I drove the car 20 miles and the check engine light came on. I immediately turned around and brought the car back to be repaired under the 30 day comprehensive warranty. The car was fixed, although no one called me for two days even though the card had been fixed the first day. Drove the car home about 40 miles and again, the check engine light came on. At this point it became obvious their MO is to do as little repairs as possible, forcing the customer to come back and leave the car as they do piecemeal repairs on it. I was unable to bring the car back immediately, as you have to pay out of pocket for a rental and couldn't afford to do so. I also had the check engine light code ran by a friend, and the code as an rear 02 sensor, which I will be demanding a receipt for. If you go here to buy an older used car as part of their bad credit program, expect to receive a car that has had the least amount of repairs done to it, and expect to have to bring your car back multiple times in order to have the repairs properly done - while you foot the bill for a rental each time. Overall the customer service from the sales people is good, and you are coming to them with bad credit and few options. But, be prepared to fight with their service department to have the repairs done properly, and to bring the car back multiple times which is certainly an inconvenience considering they could do more comprehensive repairs on the cars before they are sold. more

You've Been Warned 10/14/2010

Really wish i could give 0 stars, but unfortunately I'm stuck giving one. The list of complains about this establishment could just about squeeze into the grand canyon. But here is some basic info i have learned from my experience. Customer service is great up until papers are signed, after car is sold shannon motors couldn't care less about their ""customers"" (i wouldnt be surprised if they refur to us as suckers) Every problem caused by Shannon Motors is always someone else is fault (i.e. DMV, Warrenty company, Fiance company, ect ect ) even when Shannon Motors is selling the warrenty, finance, and doing all the registration. Shannon Motors is a take your money, go f**k yourself, stereo typical scumbag used car sales. For Overall Experience, this is the worst one I can imagine, and i have since retained a lawyer to find out what options I have to get my money back, and file reports to the BBB. So as the title says, you have been warned. more

Happy with my approval but not after that. 9/26/2010

This happened at the Johnston location but since this one has most of the reviews I decided to repost it here: more

OMG...rediculous 3/27/2010

I was in the process of getting a car from these people at the warwick store and i called the guy 3 times in the morning and he told me everything was all set and i said r u sure cause i am selling my car and he said yes 3 times. So i sold my car and went to shannon motors and everything wasnt all set, so to make a long story shorter they never even called me back so i was out of a car for 2 days and im a single mother, i missed 2 days of work and my daughter missed 2 days of school, these people run the worse business ever, THEY SUCK< STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cons: everything more

Great place to buy a car...See Carmine!!! 1/19/2010

I was greeted by Carmine who treated me with respect and dignity even though I had bad credit and filed bankrupt two years ago. He didn't pre-judge me and helped me get the vehicle I could afford! And I am now building up my credit just like he said I would. I would recommend Carmine at Shannon Motors to anyone who is in need of a vehicle. He can help you. He helped me. THANK YOU CARMINE CAIRO!!!!!! @ SHANNON MOTORS IN JOHNSTON Pros: Carmine was the best salesman I've ever worked with! Cons: I had absolutely no problems getting a vehicle. more

kevin -mechanic 10/29/2009

kevin and his boyfriend act real tough with girls,calling them the c*nt word and telling her she hopes she dies in the piece of crap she just bought there...i hope his jaw is as tough as his big mouth:) Cons: scumbags more

Warning 10/29/2009

I can't put into detail on this site everything that happened after I bought my car, because the site won't let me. This site claimed that its inappropriate. However, the experience that I had at Shannon Motors was very bad. I have only owned my car for 4 months nothing but problems and the car was even ""missing"" for 8 days when it went in 4 repairs it came back with over 400 miles on it more problems and they still refused to tell me where it was and who had it all that time. The police had to get involved twice, now to the better buisiness berau then district court. Please don't make the same mistake I did. e-mail me for more details and proof that what I'm saying is true! mmm52308@yahoo These people are liars, thieves, and need to be stopped there are power in numbers and word of mouth is Shannon Motors worst enemy. Please e-mail me so we can expose these people for what they really are! I have also contacted FOX 25 news and they are very interested in investigating these creeps!!!! Pros: Johnston PD Cons: Shannon Motors is still open still open. more
