In today's video we talk about a CDJR Dealer caught not actually filling tires with nitrogen but selling it in customer contracts in new cars. Basically committing fraud to the tune of $299 for every customer this has happened too.
The dealer add on's in most cases are a scam and not worth 25% of what they are offering
What is up guys? Welcome on back to TK's Garage and today might be a little stressful for dealers.
Yeah, it's a pinky out day. Now, if you haven't noticed, we haven't talked about Morgan & Morgan
lately. Our advertising partnership has concluded here. I still recommend them.
Today, we're going to get into a dealership that is just exceptionally dumb. Now, recently,
you saw I did the hidden cam aka the eggplant cam at Prestige Chrysler Dodge Jeep brand where I had
the hidden camera and my regular camera and just asked some basic questions to see if a dealer
would be honest. To Prestige's credit, even though they had a bunch of ridiculous add-ons
that were mandatory, they were very upfront about their pricing and that they were very motivated to
move those units. Now, Prestige is a very small lot. Prestige had over 35 or 40
V8 Chargers and Challengers remaining and they're not moving.
They also admitted, as you guys saw in the video on camera, that they can't get people financed
that sticker. It's just not going to happen. Banks are no longer doing it because in some
cases these vehicles are manufactured almost two years ago, most about 18 months. So,
these cars have been sitting. They have lot rot, whatever you want to call it. Nobody's buying
those cars right now. Well, it's not like they don't want to buy them. Banks are not funding
the loans. So, that takes me into, I see a video from Brad over at OC Motivator yesterday, right?
So, I see OC Motivator's video about the Nitrogen Tires and I got an idea. I said,
you know what? I was about to go do a whole thing on another dealership here in town that has
these ridiculous add-on packages and I'm talking about Sahara Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram
with their desert package. Miss me with that, please. That's absolute trash BS, all right?
$4,000 of markups. But they will happily advertise to you that they take eight grand off the car
and then after tax tag, title, dock fees, and their desert package, the entire rebate
or the money back, as if they even give you the rebate, goes back on to the price of the car.
And they're in the same exact situation that we see at Prestige and other dealerships that
are sitting on these scat packs, Hellcats, RTs because the MSRP is massively inflated
because Stellantis is dumb dumb retarded. Marking these vehicles up by 25 or 30% in MSRP,
you know, I made it very clear when I bought the first Green Monster, that car was $39,900
and some change. For me to have it custom built, no food stamp seats. I had a very rare color
combination with the green and gold seats. I was supposed to have the brass monkey wheels
with somebody F'd that up at the factory. It is what it is. But I got that entire car for $39,900.
Brand new, built. I built it. Shipped into my dealership in North Carolina. That same car
is like $58,000. There's nothing that changed in that car that justified an $18,000 increase
in the value of that vehicle. Not a damn thing. Well, now we're going to get into the part that's
important here. So you guys know that I've been working and you know, one of my backgrounds
outside of being in intelligence is I was a business guy. I've had businesses and one of
my favorite cash businesses was strip clubs. That's right. And you learn a lot about people,
behavior, which you also learn in intelligence. And I've been using all of those tools that
I've learned over the years to kind of get, I don't want to say moles, but like spies
at different dealerships that can tell me what's going on, especially at the ones in my area.
So I reached out to somebody that, me and a buddy of mine that you see all the time here
in town, took out for lunch, hung out with them. And I was just like, hey, what is the actual
situation? And this was yesterday. Hey, what is the actual situation with the nitrogen? What do
you guys charge for the nitrogen in your tires? He goes, oh, I think it's a $299 add-on. So that's
kind of like standard, I guess, for Dodge dealerships around my area, right? So I asked,
I say, I said, you know what, I need to know just one thing. Can you explain to me
how that works? How many vehicles do you actually fill with nitrogen in the tires? You know,
do they actually do it? And the shocking thing I got from that service manager was the following.
Oh, we haven't had nitrogen at the dealership in like seven and a half months. Now here's the
thing that will get Sahara in trouble. Anytime you're ordering gas, chemicals, things like that,
there's going to be documentation and, you know, something on file with the state and the city of
what, with the license that you require to be able to get that gas to show if you've ordered it.
Now, I can tell you this, somebody that recently bought a vehicle there, a Jeep,
that they also explained had nitrogen in their tires, today is going to a buddy of mine's at
Discount Tire, where they also do that. And I know OC Motivator talked about Big O tires,
but he's going there to verify if there's nitrogen in his tires, because he paid the $299 for it.
And if he didn't, if there's not nitrogen in the tires, and what the service advisor has already
told me about Sahara Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, not putting nitrogen in the tires and charging for it,
you know what that is under Nevada state law? That's fraud. That's illegal. And I'm wondering
how many hundreds, maybe thousands of customers have paid for this nitrogen in the tires that
didn't actually get it. Now full credit goes to OC Motivator on that because I didn't even think
about it until I saw his video while we were out yesterday. I saw that and I was like, you know what?
I said, we need to pull this other service guy in to find out if they're actually putting nitrogen
into the tires and then we'll find a customer, which crazy craziness, you know, we find a
customer that has a Jeep and then if this comes out, if this customer goes and they just have
regular air in the tires, and they've only had the Jeep for like a week, right?
And it only has air in the tires. I wonder what Sahara Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram is going to do.
Oh, it was a mistake. Oh, my bad. Oops. Or are we going to find as more and more customers, because
what will happen is there'll be an official complaint filed with the state and then the state
is going to start going to do their own research. They're going to start going over their paperwork
at Sahara and go through each customer that paid that and find out if there's actually in there and
then the dealership could be in a lot of trouble, a lot of trouble. So if you are a dealer and you
are charging for nitrogen in the tires, you might want to put nitrogen in the tires because if you're
not, you're probably going to get caught. I thought this was an interesting video. So we're still
working on all the particulars and stuff with it. So bear with me. Let me know what you guys think
in the comment section down below. Do you think these dealers are actually putting nitrogen in the
tires? Or are they lying for that extra 300 bucks? And in that case, it's fraud. Give the video a big
thumbs up if you like what I do. Hit the subscribe button if you haven't already. If you're liking the
new camera setup and what our situation is. I didn't even turn all my lights on today. I just
wanted to get this video out. But we are running the Red Dragon, our 8K camera now here on the
car channel as we've done on some of our other channels. So let me know what you guys think about
it. But anyways, till next time. Thank you guys very much for watching. I truly appreciate it.
And I'll catch you guys on the next one.
