Coche importado con reforma GLP, ITV desfavorable, segunda revisión después de presentar ficha reducida realizada por Carology, ITV favorable, precio muy competente. Gracias.

was introduced to a product through their website called Sruli Recht. i contacted company and ordered and paid for a product that despite numerous requests I have never receivd.
NO contact from company after taking my money.
No help form Carryology. although this company does not carry their products it promotes the company. Poor choice.

Pedimos una ficha reducida que en teoría mandaron en el plazo indicado. El problema viene cuando hay que subsanar todos los errores que había en la ficha. Nos dicen desde Carology que la ITV no se ha puesto en contacto con ellos. Mentira todo, desde la ITV nos mandan los emails que han enviado. Conclusión lo que iba a tardar 24-48 horas se convierte en una semana.
Además cuando llamas por teléfono ni contestan ni devuelven la llamada se limitan a ponerte un WhatsApp con excusas.

Avoid this company at all cost. They tell you that you're approved and when you can't provide your upcoming income; they tell you that they need money down or a cosigner. Being an elder and have to work when you can, and can't provide the income until after you've done the work. They totally suck. If I could give no stars I would.

Do NOT pay ahead, because it will take almost two months to have your money refunded - hopefully.
On the 4th of December, a $200.00 deposit was given and quickly taken. The work was not done. Although I have gone to the actual place to ask for the refund on the 18th Jan, rung them for a reminder on the 21st, and today is the 30th Jan and we are still waiting. I have rung once more. Really not good! Hopefully they will do the right thing - eventually.

Great place - they guys were incredibly helpful going over and above what I would normally expect/experience.

Carology, Inc also operates under Carology, LLC and sometimes uses an address of: 2338 N Seeley Ave, Chicago, IL 60647. They sell New & Used cars.

They frequently sell cars on on-line and on EBay, under the user name CAROLOGY. Phillip "Curt" Bettiker and Nicholas G. Loukas are the partners. Their Illinois Car Dealer License number is: DL 2144 DRS 1000058292.

Curt is also listed on-line as the owner of Gurnee Garage & Towing, 777 Belle Plaine, Gurnee, IL 60031 847-623-0010.

If you are thinking about buying from them on-line, be sure to have the vehicle inspected and photographed by an independent third party before bidding. The vehicle that we bought on EBay, looked gorgeous in the 70+ pictures that were posted in their EBay ad. It was advertised as being "CLEAN and RECENTLY SERVICED." It turned out that the angles of the photos and image cropping appeared to be manipulated so the flaws were not shown.

There was a delay in shipping the vehicle, so Curt offered to have the vehicle "detailed," since "it was filthy from sitting outside."

When the vehicle arrived, the interior was filthy. There were crumbs, food debris, gum, candy sucker sticks and white animal hair throughout the car. There was even some splatters of blood cast off on the headliner. Of course none of the pictures in their ad were taken up close enough to reveal the messes under the seats and in the nooks and crannies.

Upon delivery we discovered the following items that were not mentioned - though Curt signed a sales agreement stating that all know deficiencies and flaws were disclosed:

Parking brake release handle did not release parking brake.
1/4-3/8" crack in windshield - directly in front of drivers face.
R/F Passenger seat had a large seam that was coming apart - conveniently cropped from EBay images.
Both rear passenger privacy window shades were torn.
Center rear seat belt latch was broken (safety item).
Rough shifts on transmission between 2-3 and 3-4 gears.
Large door ding and paint transfer on R/F passengers door.
Front license plate mount broken.
They kept the mounting screws for the front & rear license plates, so new plates could not be mounted. We had to determine the metric thread pitch and locate screws short enough to not bottom out. 2 threaded holes were so rusty they had to be tapped (re-threaded).
Both engine air filters were FILTHY black.
The cabin air filter was dirty.
Engine oil was only 6 months old, but looked old & rancid.
There was body damage and white paint transfer on the left rear quarter panel.

The local VW dealer charged us over $6,500 to repair the above items. Curt's response was "what do you expect for a 7 year old car?" I own cars that are 20 years old that still look brand new.... All we asked was that the issues be brought to our attention BEFORE the sale.

Curt Bettiker was very responsive during the sale and document transfer (UNTIL HE GOT PAID). However after delivery of the vehicle, when we discovered all of the mechanical and wear issues he became hard to get ahold of. I left 2 voice mails and waited ONE WEEK for a reply, before posting negative feedback on EBay. ONLY THEN did we get a response from him. Of course, none of his messages are sent through EBay's messaging system (no audit trail). He offered to refund $1,500 if we'd retract our negative feedback. Of course, after we accepted that offer, he went dark again.

When he finally responded, he said that he'd only send 1/2 of the money & the other half after the Negative Feedback was withdrawn.

It was the LACK OF AN HONEST REPRESENTATION OF THE VEHICLE'S CONDITION and the CONCEALMENT OF THE FLAWS that irritated us the most. These were items that would be VERY obvious to anyone. They were IN YOUR FACE items. How could you miss a 3-4 inch split in a seam in a leather seat? In fact, our teenage sons (14 & 18) each did an independent inspection and found all of the same items (except for the transmission & parking brake). Curt is the owner of a garage - how can he be so blind & stupid? The only answer is a lack of personal integrity.

POOR SERVICE AFTER THE SALE and TARDY REPLIES TO MESSAGES is to be expected if your experience problems. Says he called or emailed, but there is NO RECORD (yet other emails and calls get through, hmmm ).

Overall, HONESTY and CUSTOMER SERVICE is not their strong suit. I strongly suggest that you have any prospective purchase inspected by a third party BEFORE bidding.
