I recently had written a bad review for Bourne Auto when I discovered that I had tires that were cupped and wasn't aware of it until I had the tires rotated. I was just 10 days over my 90 day warranty from Bourne Auto Sales when I made the discovery. I finally contacted Shawn Saunders, the sales manager, and he did in fact give me two new tires to replace the bad tires. So in light of this good will act on their part, I would in fact buy another vehicle from them. However I would advise that the buyer of any vehicle thoroughly check out their purchase within the 90 day warranty period to make sure that there are no issues. I am very happy that they were willing to accommodate me and want to again thank them. More

Took i Bought a car at bournes about 9 months ago with a full warranty and had a great experience. The sales person was awesome and wasn't too pushy. Took it in to be serviced, they had it for a week and put broken parts back into my car without telling me that the warranty plan didn't cover the $10 part. I would have been glad to pay for it because when a car is supposed to be fixed, it's not supposed to have broken parts put back in it. That's the whole point of it being FIXED. these guys don't care about their customers. What a joke. Mario in the service department is clueless as to what's going on. If I knew it was going to be like this I would have never bought a car from them. More

The initial experience of browsing the website for a vehicle that fit my criteria was easy to use and fairly in-depth. Upon visiting the dealership, I was greeted very quickly and brought out to view t vehicle that fit my criteria was easy to use and fairly in-depth. Upon visiting the dealership, I was greeted very quickly and brought out to view the cars I had called in earlier to see. I was allowed to test-drive them on my own, which was very helpful as I could really put them through their paces. As I was not ready to purchase that instant, I asked if I could bring the wife and kids back for a second test drive the following day, which was no problem. Upon returning, I added a 3rd vehicle I wanted to drive and was had no problem being obliged. The tough part was deciding which vehicle to choose. We collectively decided on a 2004 Hyundai Sonata that had 46K on the odometer. I had read the Carfax and subsequent service records attached and saw that a lot of parts had been recently replaced. I thought the mileage was great for a 9 year old car and now it had a lot of new parts to boot. This should have been a red flag to me but, as I am not a mechanic, I didn't put 2 and 2 together. Two weeks after after I purchased the car, I had my first problems. The alternator went and took the battery with it. I returned the vehicle to the dealer who promptly replaced both items along with new pulleys and a new belt, no charge to me. A few thousand miles later, I woke to a puddle of anti-freeze under my vehicle. After having surpassed the standard used car warranty based on the mileage I put on the car, I brought it to my own mechanic to see what was wrong. He immediately told me that the bad news was that the water pump was gone and it was standard procedure to change the timing belt when this was done concurrently. This was going to equal a minimum of $500. The worse news he gave, however, was that the engine was not original to this car. There were markings all over the engine that it was a replacment, coupled with the fact there was evidence the hood had been removed to pull the engine. Needless to say, I was not happy with the fact that I was sold a car with an advertised 46K miles on it, only to have a replacement engine with untold mileage and several major problems occurring within 5000 miles of purchasing it. I phoned the service center at Bournes and explained the situation as told by my mechanic. I was told to have it towed and they would verify what I stated. I then spoke with the general manager, Mike Kelley, regarding it not being the car I thought I was getting and the issues I had already been experiencing with it. He stated he would have the service look into it and not worry about it. They subsequently confirmed my mechanic's diagnosis and agreed about the replacement engine. I then sat down with Mike Kelley and discussed the options for this vehicle. As the Carfax did not report the engine had been replaced prior to Bournes obtaining it, it was new territory for them as well. After keenly listening to my concerns and understanding that issue needed to be addressed, a mutual agreement was reached. Mike had the problems repaired with no charge to me and subsequently offered an extended, in-depth engine warranty for my vehicle. As I truly enjoyed the vehicle and wanted to keep it (especially now with all the new parts), I felt a lot more secure with the extended warranty. What could have been a disaster of a used car purchase from a less trust-worthy and reputable dealer, was turned into a pleasant experience with Mike. I firmly believe and trust this weird issue with the replacement engine was not known by the dealer and they have taken responsibility to make it right. I would buy another vehicle from them again in a heart beat. I appreciate their honest approach to service and fair vehicle pricing. Thank you Mike and thank you Bourne's! More

I had intermitten I purchased a 2007 Honda Odyssey from Bournes in July of 2010. On the way home from the lot the vehicle began giving me trouble. I had intermittent problems with the transmission when driving between 50 and 60 miles per hour. I had the vehicle in to checked/repaired three times in 8 months for this issue. It was never resolved. Also, before purchasing the car I asked that the front bumper be fixed as it did not sit snug in place. There were two broken eyeholes in bumper that did not allow it to latch into position. These were not permanently fixed, only gummed up with some type of black adhesive. The bumper was "fixed" twice but only to come out of position again and again. Each time this left more and more of the black adhesive showing on the fender and bumper of the car. When I called and complained about this for a third time (11 months after purchasing the car) I was told that it would not be repaired again for free as I had owned the car for almost a year and put on 10,000 miles. I was shocked. To me this sounded as if the dealer does not stand by their own body work. I expected the bumper to be fixed before purchasing the car and not to have to continually bring it to Easton(30 miles from my home)for stop gap measures to appease my wife and I. In addition to this other interior plastic molding would pop out of place and had to be put back in position by the service crew. These fixes never lasted either. In total I believe I had the vehicle in for service 6 times in 11 months and needed to do front brakes and front tires after only putting 10,000 miles on the car. Several other dealers have told me that if tires or brakes are more than 2/3 worn they are replaced as part of the multi-point inspection completed before selling a car. Bourne obviously did not do this. I entertained having this work done at Bournes but when the quote for the brake job was almost 300.00 more than a quote from a local repair shop I decided to be done with Bourne auto center for good. I traded in my Honda for another mini van and am happy to say I never plan to set foot on their lot again! Buyer beware! I did not find that Bourne's takes care of their customers or the problems that they have with the vehicles purchased there, nor do I think they provide quality body work or competitively priced services!
