Tarnica Cars

I brought a 2012 Mazda CX5 from David of Tarnica Cars and I’m very happy with his helpfulness and excellent service.

If I could rate this place lower I would. Here is my story:I went to Tarnica car yards just to browse with some friends. I was approached by manager Aiono Tuala regarding interest in a non-expensive car. Mr. Tuala said that he has an employee who is interested in selling his old car because he was given a new car to drive by the company. He describes the car as a Toyota Corolla 2001. He offered to call the employee who describes as a preacher and man of God over so that I could view the car. I accept. The employee, Mr Suraj Singh enters the car yard in about 5 minutes with the car he wants to sale. The car turns out to be a Nissan Pulsar 1998. He indicates that the car is $1500. After inspection with one of my friends present I ask to drive the car. Mr. Singh obliges and I drive the car. His commentary during this time is how good the car performs, how everything is up to date in terms of fitness, and how this car is “a very good car”. I have no reason to disbelieve him. After 15 minutes of driving, drive the car back to the car yard. I hesitantly express my interest to purchase the car for $1500 after one last look. Because I seem hesitant Mr. Singh further says that if anything goes wrong with the car I can bring it back to him and he will fix it. I ask him about oil change and maintenance and he says not to worry about that for at least 6 -8 months since it was taken care of. I agree to the purchase and my friends and I seem satisfied. All of this was done in the car yard under the facilitation of Mr Tuala, the manager. Low and behold though.....a day later the car breaks down, apparently the accelerator cable snapped! I seek help from Suraj first.....he yells at me telling me it is my fault....his promises out the window vanishing like smoke. When I go back to Tarnica, they tell me get off the their property and that they cannot help me because it was a private sale. Hey Mr. Tuala, do you realize that a private sale on car yard grounds facilitated by the car yard manager have implications for the business? Perhaps we can take that up with the Motor Vehicles Dispute Tribunal, after all your disgusting employee is already going to face me in Private Tribunal. Anyways these people have absolutely no accountability and have no standards for their rank, spineless employees. Snakes and charlatans masquerading as salespeople. And to bring God into it....what a laugh. Anyways at this point I had to repair the car and then insisted on returning it to the owner. I have not received any money for the repairs or the return of the car. In fact it is still in my name (stolen property as well). At this point I will be facing the employee Suraj Singh in court. The car that was sold should never have passed the WOF according to the mechanic who fixed it. And hopefully I will be able to let the Motor Vehicles Traders Register know about the disgusting practices of this place. DO NOT BUY FROM HERE. You will be cheated. You will regret it. Go to the countless other car yards in the area. There are so many better ones!

Based on my experience, I was greeted and served with absolute kindness. Their team is very experienced and gave us the best deal for the car we received. Me and my family had an amazing experience with Tarnica cars .
