Just arrived back in Las Vegas, from Gateway Classics, Nashville, Tn. Bob Pierce the salesman and I text each other several times about a Truck I was interested in buying. I ask him if it leaked any oil, he said no. I ask him if he thought it was a fast build or a solid truck, he said he didn't think so. He did try to sell me a different truck that I didn't want. I ask him for more pictures which never came. So after spending about $1000.00 on a trip to look at the truck, the first thing I noticed was a big oil spot under the truck. Bob said that might be from another vehicle that was parked there, so I got under and verified it for myself. Sure enough transmission leaking all around, when I told him, no reaction. I will never deal with Gateway Classics again. Wish I would have read all the reviews before I went there, could have saved my money.

After I bought a car there, they damaged the car before pick up. After that, no answer from anyone. They didn't assume responsibility nor did they answer any emails or calls. Eventhough I wrote the general manager, the operations manager ... no answer. No after sales. Stay away from that company.

I bought a car from them on September 14 and I still can’t get it titled. I need the cowl tag and the x owner has it but won’t give it to me. Gateway Motors says the x owner won’t return there calls and they won’t do anything about it. Ca. DMV says it still is under review. If I can’t get it registered it’s worthless. Also there is so many problems, and I have spent thousands of dollars trying to fix it. The restoration shop took the interior out today and found a dead decomposed rat with a bunch air fresheners around it. The manager says there is no warranty as is and so on.They said you looked at and you bought it. Most everything wrong you couldn’t see. Also they won’t let you drive on highway and if I had I definitely wouldn’t have bought it. Scary bad vibration! I could go on, but don’t have enough time! If you are thinking about buying a car from them BUYER BEWARE!!! Dennis Scroggs

I recently consigned my vintage vehicle that was in pristine condition, with Gateway Classic Cars O"Fallon, IL and received not one offer or call after three months and over 7,000 views. No one ever contacted me from Gateway, except when I informed them that I was canceling my consignment. When I went to trailer my car home, sales person, Ben, said he had a buyer for my car. I responded that I was still taking it home. At which time, the car was spewing gasoline from the fuel filter. Ben leaned his head out from the building an asked, "Is it the fuel filter?" My friend who is a owner of an auto repair shop commented how did he know it was the fuel filter? Verrrry strange and interesting!!!!! My friend believes that Gateway purposely loosened the filter connecter. I will never deal with this business ever again. And nor should anyone.

BUYER BEWARE BUYER BEWARE!!!! I purchased a car September 28th in Atlanta and was told that the title to the car would be sent to me. I received a packet in the mail about three weeks later without the title. After contacting the sales rep Aaron, he told me that no title was available and the registration that they included would be enough to get a title in Illinois. After going to the DMV in IL they said that they could not title the car without a title from from Georgia. When I called back to get try to get the title from the dealership they told me they don't have one and forwarded me to a person named Brooke who handles these issues. After speaking with her she hung up on me. Still no resolution, no follow up. I now have a car that is sitting in my garage that I cannot drive. BEWARE BEWARE! I will be contacting an attorney.

I am ABSOLUTEY shocked that this misleading company still has a license to operate. My salesman told me they inspected the car I wanted to buy but he knew nothing at all about it and couldn't answer an questions about it. He just wanted a $1000 NON-REFUNDNABLE deposit. I gave him a list of questions about the car. He said he would have answers the next day. I called him twice and left 3 texts and all I got was 'I AM BUSY WITH OTHER CLIENTS" So guess he thought he had me in the bag and I would go LAST after he takes care of EVERYONE ELSE. Read their contract. 100% favors the seller and 0% for the buyer. When he finally called me back 2 days later he asked me if I wanted to buy the car. I said do you have the answers to my questions and his answer was--GET THIS--- What questions! Amazing. So I decided to check the reviews on GATEWAY. Seems EVERYONE thinks this company is a total scam and this mislead all their buyers with false claims and misinformation and when I asked the salesman to put in writing all the things he did tell me were right with the , he said his company wouldn't do that. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? So I checked their contract. KNOW WHAT IS SAYS??? We "DO NOT' inspect cars. We take the owners word. And---Anything that is said to a prospective buyer orally "CANNOT" betaken as fact, so this horrendous company can keep deposits, lie about what you are getting, not return phone calls, not repair problems they are responsible for and just can say anything they want since they have a GREAT CONTRACT_FOR THEM only. Stay far far away from them and read the on line reviews. I have NEVER seen such horrible reviews anywhere anytime on this planet. And always be sure you personally see and check out any car WITH your mechanic or you will be in for a negative financial surprise. HAVE A NICE DAY. I will- WHY? I bought elsewhere and I love what I have. I will leave out the name of the salesman I worked with as a courtesy.

I recently purchased a 1971 Chevelle rRestomod from Gateway Classic Cars. It was advertised at having a Demon FUEL INJECTED carb. This was a key factor in buying the car. When the car arrived, I discovered that it was not fuel-injected, but rather it had a normal 4-bbl carburetor. I contacted the salesman who agreed that it was advertised incorrectly and he asked for 3 written estimates on installing fuel injection and the would take care of it. 4 days later, they stared back pedaling and beat around the bush, that it was not their fault, because the advertised it like to seller described. They took no responsiblity for their own false advertising. The management insulted my knowledge and argued over semantics of the term "fuel injected". I understand that I could had the car inspected beforehand, but I trusted them. I was a repeat customer. This was a clear-cut case of false advertising on their part and they know it. But the fact of the matter is, they are a huge company and they know it would cost me more to sue them than it would cost to replace the carburetor. WARNING: This company is not to be trusted at all. They will not own up to their responsibility to the consumer, but rather they hide behind "what the seller told us" as they are a consignment dealer. They clearly do not inspect the cars they sell. If you purchase a vehicle from Gateway Classic Cars, do so at your own risk.
