Baron Auto Scam Blog
| 7/7/2011 - Tsk tsk tsk . . . |
Ok, so this is awesome and sad all at the same time.
On 6/28/2011, a new site visitor went over to Baron Auto Maxx in Medford and got screwed. Perhaps not screwed, because this customer was very keen to the strangeness that goes hand in hand with the guys over at Baron Auto Maxx. But, whatever it was, it was dirty.
So, here's the story based on how I read the email:
Customer needs a car.
Customer goes shopping for a car.
Salesperson tells them all these wonderful things to get them to buy said car.
They sell said car.
After signing loan papers and all that fun stuff, the final loan price was different than what was originally agreed upon.
The price was modified by 'adding features' to the car that never existed in the first place.
Customer realizes something is fishy and get in touch with the company that approved the loan, news 12 and the Suffolk County DA.
Loan is now reversed, and Baron Auto Maxx has some explaining to do.
To top it all off, this is the best part. The person who made the sale is someone by the name of Danny and Joe Giordano. So weird, because a few months ago, we were told that Joe G no longer works for said company.

BUT, today I got an email from Chuck who fights for our freedom every day in the military and thought i'll put him right at the top of the list of stories to be posted. Here's his story:
Hey Jake,
I'm in the military and saw your website when I was trying to fix
a problem with my bank about the final payment on my loan...... I have a story
to tell but it may not be finished today. I have to admit though I'm partly to
blame.
In May of 2004 I needed to trade in my car for a bigger vehicle so I could
take better care of my son who was 4 months old at the time. My first
mistake was telling my wife to go by herself. When she picked out the vehicle, I
was originally fine with her choice ( 2001 Chevy Blazer) even though I had
expressly told her that we needed a Minivan in case we wanted more kids. To say
the least I should have went with my gut. There were parts missing, like the
valence cover for the back and the rear wiper didn't work ( and doesn't to this
day) the check engine light came on a couple of months later and we still have
not been able to clear it. And now that I'm ready to pay off the loan the bank
says that my payoff is 2850 more than I originally agreed. In all fairness,
Danny had told me to tell the bank that the car was an LT instead of an LS or we
could not get the loan so I agreed, but I can't help but wonder what would have
happened if I had gone by myself to look there. Because of your blog I am
calling the bank to get another copy of the original bank loan papers and
compare them to mine which I have to find. If you do post this I want everyone
to read this part very carefully:
IF YOU PURCHASED A CAR FROM ONE OF THESE "DEALERS" CALL YOUR BANK AND SEND THEM A COPY OF YOUR FINANCE AGREEMENT.... COMPARE IT WITH THE ONE YOU HAVE
AND SEE IF ITS THE SAME. COMPARE IT TO THE SALES RECEIPT YOU SIGNED. MAYBE THERE
CAN BE A WAY TO CATCH THESE GUYS.
Thanks for your hard work with this website. Maybe you could recommend some
better dealers for these people.
Once I start getting good reviews on other dealers in the area, i'll be sure to get some info up for everyone! Once again, thank you Chuck for your email and the fact that you are out there every day protecting us!

I just wanted to say happy new year, and I wish nothing but the best.
And here's a story from an employee that learned about all the wonderful treats Baron hands out. When I say treats, I mean hoaxes! Because I love to give out hoaxes during Halloween, unfortunately, these guys do it all the time!
The person asked to be kept anonymous, so, I will call this person Spencer (not his real name).
There finance managers are the scum of the earth, and i personally have
witnessed, them lying about payments, forging signatures, charging up to 4000
for VIN etch, Also the more money someone puts down the more they borrow from
the bank, and they use the customers down payment for sneaky extras that they
finagle into the payment without people knowing!. I know so much dirt on these
guys and i know joe giordano personally, and the
owners. The owners are blood thirsty thieves, and i have witnessed people crying
because baron ripped them off. In 2006 they averaged 7000 profit a car at the
outlet alone. They mark up interest rates, lie to customers, and laugh about
it...i'm fsxckin serious. The acts i have witnessed are felonies. Danny is
the finance guy at the automall, and he is ruthless.
Well, thank you Spence (not his real name) for all your time you took to send me an email. I'm glad I can post on the site, and would love to hear more from you. Nothing like hearing stories from the inside!
Spence (not his real name) said I should go to Fox 5 and do those 'shame shame shame' things or something similar. I think I just might go that route. We'll have to see if I need to take such drastic actions down the road. For now, being in the top 5 websites in google makes me content that people are being deterred from going to any Baron dealership. It sucks for the people who work there, especially the good guys, because they are losing business, but it's a price they pay for not keeping other honorable and trustworthy.
