I rented a car from this dealer because he advertised no credit card required. I gave him cash, he gave me a reciept. When I picked up the car Mr. Stanley (the owner/employee) said the car was full of gas and I must return it the same way. Well, the car was only at 1/4 tank. When I brought it to his attention before I pulled off he said that the needle was broke but insisted it had a full tank of gas. He claimed he had filled it up himself. I drove to Virginia beach which is only about 64 miles from the business and the car was knocking and shaking terribly when I accelerated pass 40 miles an hour and then I ran out of gas on I64. When I called back to the business to tell him that the car was knocking and shaking he said, "Oh, my bad, my machanic was supposed to check on that", then, I told him that the fuel gauge must have been working becuase it is now blinking on empty. He said, "well I thought it was broke" So, I said, then you have to acknowlege that it was at 1/4 tank. He agreed. I told him I was bringing the car back and wanted another car. I took the car back and he gave me a newer car and I was on my way. After the rental period (weekend) was over, I returned the car and he has refused to give me my deposit back. When I tried to take him to court he presented to the court that he was not the correct person to be sued stating he is only an employee. The court would not hear my case stating I had sued the wrong person. Well, Michael Stanely is a liar, his incorporation status was terminated in 3 and listed his wife Nia F. Stanley as the registered agent. He has not returned my rental deposit and I'm seeking other legal avenues. I've just found out he is listed as an independent dealer and does not have a license to rent cars.
