When I contacted them about a trade‑in and financing, they messed up the payoff, dragged things out for over a month, and kept giving excuses, leaving me frustrated and stuck.

I’d avoid Victory Auto Group — they settled a big $9 million DOJ lawsuit in 2023 for submitting false information on a PPP loan forgiveness application, which makes me seriously question their integrity.
For a business that champions integrity, the follow-up service at Victory Auto Group leaves much to be desired. Scheduling maintenance or addressing warranty issues becomes a game of phone tag once the sale is done.
Many customers walk into Victory Auto Group expecting transparency but leave with contracts bloated by hidden fees and confusing financing terms. The polished branding doesn’t always reflect the gritty reality of their sales process.
Very disappointed. Salesperson told me the car was “certified,” but when I checked the history, it had a major accident record they conveniently didn’t mention. When I brought it up, they brushed it off and said “that’s normal.” Unacceptable behavior from a place claiming to care about transparency.
Went in thinking I’d leave happy. Left angry, confused, and way over budget. The financing rep barely explained anything, just shoved papers in front of me.
They talk a lot about honesty and trust, but my experience was anything but. Got hit with fees they never mentioned upfront.
