Communication is key Communication is key. Especially when dealing with Freedom Motors and the VA. We were not kept informed during the long process. Our free gift came broken. But we are very happy with our vehicle! After purchase we couldn't get any response from anyone from Freedoms Motors about floormats, the 2nd key, or about switching out the wheelchair locks in the van. I would recommend Freedom Motors if u are local in MI where u can reach someone there but not long distance.

Not terribly impressed Looking back, I wish I would have gone through a different company. The people were nice, and helpful when I asked, but... - they told me the car would take 2 months and it took nearly 5 - the car took so long, I had to re-apply for the loan... the second time around they wanted $2,000 additional down, and my interest rate was higher. -the car arrived with many scratches and nicks... it's a brand new car! -the cars interior was dirty upon arrival... running my fingers across the dash... black!!! - the car had no directions on how to use the locking system or tie down systems that were actually useful. It took me 3 hours to figure out the tie downs and I'm still unsure... I feel like they should provide a YouTube video link or something. -the guy who delivered it didn't check an ID or anything... the cars battery was dead when it got here!!! A lot more went wrong than right in my opinion.

Continued problems purchasing … Continued problems purchasing wheelchair vans from Freedom Motors, disappointing since I have bought over 20 vehicles from your company. Most recently you shipped a very obviously wrecked and poorly repaired van for our Pensacola branch without disclosing the damage. This is just the most recent poor experience, not sure what is happening on your end but there is a huge gap in communication between your various departments and this makes for a poor customer experience.

Very disappointed in this company- how… Well first of all Justin was not the person that spoke to me or had any contact with me what so ever. He never returned my e-mail. And not I am not satisfied- I understand depreciation of a vehicle and let me tell you this one sat in the garage every day- was not out in the weather, was hardly driven at all for 5 months due to a surgery and Covid so put very few miles on it compared to normal usage. So there is no way an addition of less than 4000 miles took a vehicle from $35,000 to $17,000 no matter what you say. It is still in the very same shape now that it was when I received it so other than a good cleaning and going over it- is ready for any other person to purchase it! I feel you are doing an excellent job selling to people that you can take advantage of but doing nothing to help afterwards! And lets not forget months trying to get any answer from anyone there- and that was AFTER Covid and opening back up! Very disappointed in this company- how can I vehicle go from a price of $35,000 to only worth $17,000 a year later- with only 3,000 miles added on to it. That doesn't say to much for the quality of your work to lose value like that. We desperately needed this vehicle and I believe that was and continues to be taken advantage of. I no longer need this van as my husband passed away but now at least I won't be upset to lose his van as I can't lose that kind of money that is still owed on this vehicle. Trying to figure out why vehicles older than mine on your website are selling for such a higher price while mine is worth so much less.

Dishonesty and lack of follow up My 9 yr. old daughter is terminally ill and in a wheelchair. Recently our last wheelchair vehicle was totaled, and Freedom Motors had one that we liked and bought, and took delivery on 9/27/23. In fairness to them, there were good aspects of the experience – our salesperson Dominic was friendly and courteous, explaining things well and was communicative as the build process developed, which I appreciated. The process unfolded as he described, and the closing process was easy and completed quickly. And upon delivery, having not actually laid eyes on the vehicle yet, I was delighted that the quality of the mods appeared to be better than our last one (from another mfr.). So all of this was great, and until closing I would not have hesitated to recommend Freedom Motors to my friends, family, or the rare disease non-profit and community we work with. However…at closing I learned that I had been lied to. As we were evaluating vehicle options, we saw the MSRP on the one we eventually bought was $43,720 [from the factory; before any modification work]. Upon later selecting that vehicle, I was surprised to see that the asking price was $46,380 - $2,660 more than MSRP for a new vehicle already ~1 model year old. I asked about it and was told that FMI does not mark up the vehicles in their inventory, they do pass-through pricing on these and the company’s profit made is in the conversion. Further, due to the state of the car market, these vehicles (Palisades & Tellurides, specifically) had been selling above MSRP and that’s just what the market was, so I could take it or leave it. Although I didn’t love that, car valuations had been elevated post-Covid and the rest of the experience had been good, so I trusted them and accepted it at face value. Upon closing the deal and doing the title paperwork, I was upset to see in the original papers (from a dealer in Ohio) that the actual purchase price by FMI was only $42,396. So instead of passing through their purchase price as I was committed to, it was actually marked up from below MSRP that they paid to above MSRP for me – a $3,984 markup and more importantly they dishonestly did the exact opposite of what I was told. You can understand my disappointment and frustration at this ethical violation in business practice. Either my salesperson lied to me, or maybe he was lied to by his management and unknowingly passed on false information that he thought was true. Before I posted a review, I informed their customer service dept. on 10/10/23 to allow for a timely response as I understand that it’s impossible to know what every employee is doing at all times. Their Sales VP, Justin, called me to discuss it on 10/12/23 and left a voicemail. I called him back the very next day and left a message that was never returned. I followed up with a text on 10/20/23, which has also never been returned as of a week later. In sum, I would avoid dealing with anyone who deceives their customers then becomes unresponsive after they have your money. If you do choose to do business with them, beware of anything you are told and ensure you verify what you're told and get everything possible in writing.
