Plattner Automotive Group review: Fraudulent company 32

Let me guess...your a salesman or salesmanager that could not bust your draw so you got canned...right? If you have been in the business any length of time you should already know that you can not fight a dealer and win. Dont try.

I am so glad to see that other people out there see what kind of crook Doug Plattner is. I worked for Plattner Automotive Group as the General Sales Manager from 2005 to 2006. I never had a problem with them until each payday. I am owed over $72, 000.00. In the car business, its hard to prove whats really owed unless you have it in writing. WHICH I HAVE. I look forward to our day in court. Jimmie Tucker is going to look very funny when we prove he signed the letter which stated my employement agreement. Of all people in the car business, Doug Platter will have his day.. It's coming soon. All the Fraud this man is responceable for, will eat his lucnh real soon. Thank God I was smart enough to make copies of all the files before I left. I bet the IRS will have fun with the way they cooked the books. All the fraud is catching up with the big wigs now... Wonder if the Attorney General would like a call to help them with the case.

Douglas Plattner is car dealer all Great America's need too, and must be afraid of. I have had the misfortune of actually working for and meeting (face to face) the weasel. Plattner is the best at taking the ### of the earth award, when it comes to being human, let alone a car dealer that holds, the most absolute piece of human waste award of all times. You may not understand this comment; however the maggot feeds of off these type statements. My pleasure is that I know as he reads this message, he knows who wrote it, that’s my gratification. He is by far one of the most screwed-up people walking the face of the earth. I think I could write a little more information as days go on, that I may do, until, read on. Check back often; never know what you might read.

Two weeks ago, Plattner Automotive Group, which operates 11 dealerships in the State of Florida, agreed to settle a U.S. Department of Labor
investigation and pay $71, 129.00 in back wages to its employees. The
Department of Labor determined that the company had violated provisions
of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA).
One of the points stressed by the Department of Labor in that case was
that while there is an overtime exemption for commissioned automobile
salespersons, such salespersons must still be paid at least the federal
minimum wage for all of the hours that they work.

Most clients believe that most commissioned employees are not
entitled to overtime pay. However, that is not true. Some retail sales
employees are exempt from overtime pay, but these exemptions require
specific compliance with certain requirements. The classic example is
the case of automobile dealerships, where sales personnel are exempt
from the overtime pay requirement. Yet, this exemption is absolute.
There are certain requirements that must be met. In addition, with
respect to automobile salespersons, they must be paid at least the
minimum wage for all hours that they work, regardless of whether or not
they make a sale.

Typically, automobile salespersons are paid a set "draw" which is
usually based on working forty hours per week at the minimum wage or
slightly above the minimum wage. Problems arise if the salesperson
either works more than forty hours per week or does not sell any
automobiles. The problem is compounded if the salesperson works more
than forty hours per week and does not sell any automobiles. The
salesperson receives the draw, but does not receive any compensation
for work performed over forty hours per week.

Another exemption for commissioned salespersons is the retail sales
exemption. Typically, salespersons in a retail store are not entitled
to an overtime premium. However, in order to qualify for the exemption,
the following requirements must be met: (1) the employer must be a
retail store, with 75% of the annual sales being retail sales; (2) the
employee's regular rate of pay must exceed one and one-half times the
applicable minimum wage for every hour worked; and (3) more than half
of the employee's compensation must be in the form of commissions. If
all of these requirements are not met, then the employer does not
qualify for the retail sales exemption and an overtime premium must be
paid for all hours worked over forty per week.

Green means you agree in other words "Thumbs up"
Red means you do not agree in other words "Thumbs up"

I s all of this true? And were any of you actually performing at these store warranting pay? How ca someone own 11 dealerships and not pay any one? I am asking because I am considering working for this man.

I have made a great living in the Automotive industry for over 30 years, I have NEVER worked for a piece of human waste like Doug Plattner in 30 years if his lips are moving he is lying. His number one puppet Dave Canally is as bad as him, DO NOT work for this guy you will get screwed wether you punch a clock or are a GSM he screws EVERY ONE!

If you are one of the people he moved down from out of state with his promises of advertising and getting more inventory I feel sorry for you, get a real job while you can and leave Doug Plattner OFF of your resume.

Give him a call on his cell [protected] and tell him what a piece of crap he is for jerking people off.

I am a single mother of 2 children. And up until about a week and a half ago I worked for Doug Plattner. I was in the draw the first week I started there and was paid $366.76. whichI paid back with my next check . And from that point on I was never again in the draw. I quit a week and 3 days before I was to recieve my next check. And on this check I should have gotten my last 3 comissions to the tune of about $1200.00. minus the warrantys I sold... I have contacted the store since Friday morning leaving message after message for Mr plattner to contact me all to no avail. I have even called his cell phone and left messages. At this point I dont know what to do. I have contacted dept of labor and left a message. Its people like this that cause car salespeople to have a bad name. He is a very dishonest person. And this is just very bad business. I worked hard for this man and made him money the entire time I was there. And to not be paid for the sells that I made for him for his company just speaks volumes as to the type of person he is.. Its a shame that people dont know the truth behind the man that ownes Plattners Automotive Group...

He pays NO ONE! a complete [censor]! if you work for him he WILL screw you GUARANTEED! sooner or later he will not pay you.

Hmm I was thinking of working for him and hope none of this is true.

I worked for Plattner at the winter park store. In my tenure Plattner would delay the checks. and some people didnt get paid what was owed . He shorted my checks but it was never big. I made up for it with a dealer plate, demo and a gas card. In this game you have to take it...

I am in the process of a class action law suit with the plattner automotive group. I currently have around a dozen former managers and employees on board. He has screwed the wrong person and this is happening. I have a great lawyer and he will take on anyone who wishes to be attached to this class action lawsuit. I am tired of trying to get what is legally mine. He is getting shut down. GM is on the verge of shutting his doors and welcomes the lawsuit to go through to make it possible. Any and all previous and current employees are welcome to join in the suit. you can email me at screwedplattner@gmail.com and leave your contact information. I will forward it to my attorney and go from there. Yes this is a new email as I am not comfortable with releasing my name to the public. You dont know how far this man will go to keep people quite.

This looks to me like a bunch of folks that took weekly draw payments but did not sell enough vehicles to overcome their advance/loan...SO, they get fired or asked to resign for lack of performance...Then, these lazy, no selling leeches file for unemployment and expect the company to participate...When the company settles, it's not an admission of wrong doing, but a business decision based on anticipation of attorneys fees out weighing the settlement amount..Remember, there is always two sides...I'd like to see the falsified employment applications of the disgruntled..Usually, they have a poor track record of past employment where they have never held a decent job, plus their previous employment consists of menial jobs where they only stayed several months...Wanting something for nothing is typical for new hires...Randall Cox. Auto Dealer Professional...

you obviously do not know Doug Plattner i.e. "Blivit" look it up if you dont know what a blivit is.

I worked for Dougy Boy for 1 month and have never seen or witnessed such deplorable behavior. I think it's maybe a Florida thing but don't believe anything he says and by no means don't work for him. He has a bad reputation as far as paying employees and vendors. I got out after the first lie that I witnessed and was able to find another job right away. If you are not able to work for free don't work for doogy. Chuck Kessler, or whatever his name is, does not surprise me cause I smelled a ### right away. I am surprised that Dave Canally would still be involved to do ### dirty work for him.

Signed,

Glad I got out of there

Yes you may be reading this and thhink that it is just bitter ex employees. But I assure you it is not. This man needs psycological help. I think he is sick and demented. I will not even begin to say how he has messed up my life temporarily. But I will say all that you are reading is most likely true. This man does not pay his bills or his vendors. You can not even get a dent fixed at one of his stores. Furthermore he won't even pay his CRM companies either. He just lets it get turned off and then move to another. He has the money or so I have heard but no intentions of parting with it to employees or bill collectors.

Doug Plattner is an absolute tee-total piece of ###. If he is talking to you, he is lying. He is without a shadow of a doubt, the biggest piece of ### on Planet Earth. He is universally hated by his customers and his employees. I would give my last dollar just to have a chance to kick his narrow ###.

CAN ALL OF THESE PEOPLE BE WRONG? DOUG PLATTNER WINS THE TROPHY FOR BEING THE BIGGEST PIECE OF ### IN AMERICA. VOTES HAVE BEEN CAST BY ALL HIS VENDORS AND PAST AND CURRENT EMPLOYEES. I GOING TO MAKE IT MY MISSION TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE IN SOUTHWEST FLORIDA KNOWS YOU AND YOUR REPUTATION. GAME ON.

HELLO DOUG PLATTNER CUSTOMERS AND EMPLOYEES. DOUG HAD THE MANAGEMENT TEAM IN ONE OF HIS STORES WALK OUT OVER THE WEEKEND BECAUSE OF HIS REFUSAL TO PAY THEM. REMEMBER, EVERY CENT YOU SPEND WITH THE PLATTNER AUTOMOTIVE GROUP LINES THE POCKETS OF THIS PIECE OF GARBAGE AND HE DOESN'T HAVE THE DECENCY TO PAY HIS MANAGERS ON TIME. WHEN YOU HAVE HAD A SILVER SPOON STUCK UP YOUR ### YOUR WHOLE LIFE, I GUESS YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT HARD WORKING PEOPLE WHO ARE WONDERING HOW THEY ARE GOING TO PAY THEIR BILLS. DOUG, IF YOU ARE READING THIS, I HOPE YOU ROT IN HELL, YOU PIECE OF DOG ###.

DAVR PLATTNER AND HIS PARTNER DAVE CANALLY WILL DO NOTHING BUT CHEAT MISSLEAD CUSTOMER. GO OUT OF THIER WAY TO LIE AND CHJEAT EMPLOYEE OF OY THOUSANDS OF INCOME.HIS STALLING TACTICS IN FLORIDA ARE A LEDGEND, HE OPERATES HERE BECAUSE IN ANY OTHER STATE HE WOULD ALREADY BE IN JAIL OR WORSE.AS IT STANDS, THE STSTE ATTORNEY HAS SEVERAL INVESTIGATIONS OF POAYROLL FRAUD SEXUAL HARRASSMENT AND OTHER ILLEAGAL ACTUIVITIES TOO NAME ONLY A FEW. THE MORE PEOPLE WHO FILE WITH THE STSTE ATTOURNEY THE BETTER

Unfortunately, I worked for Mr. Plattner in the accounting office. I lasted about two months before I just couldn't take it anymore and I left without notice. I should have known from the initial interview with Mr. Plattner himself that I was getting into a less than favorable situation, but I needed a job and I was optimistic. When I showed up to the interview, Mr. Plattner was 40 minutes late and generally seemed very aloof. His corporate office was very disorganized while all of the other employees I met seemed absolutely miserable.

While I did not handle the employee payroll, I did handle issuing payment to all of his dealership vendors. Everyone who claims Mr. Plattner refuses to pay his vendors are absolutely right. When things are tight financially, I understand pushing payment to the very last minute, but Mr. Plattner was flat out refusing to pay some of his vendors entirely. I would create checks to satisfy past due balances to vendors, give the checks to Mr. Plattner for approval, and he would just write "VOID" on the checks before giving them back to me. Since the vendors weren't getting paid (some being as much as 6+ months past due), the corresponding dealership would be cut off and denied further credit. I was constantly having to listen to outraged managers complain (and rightly so) as the service and parts departments were unable to obtain necessary parts to complete orders - or the sales department was unable to use any of their CRM software that had been shut off due to nonpayment.

When I finally confronted Mr. Plattner about this, he would tell me to simply find another vendor who charges a cheaper rate, as he always assumed that everyone was just trying to rip him off. At one point, Mr. Plattner refused to pay a parts vendor until ALL previously ordered parts were exactly accounted for at that dealership, because he was convinced his employees were ordering parts in bulk to sell themselves behind his back for a cash profit. I've never witnessed a person who has so much distrust and disrespect for his employees. Every single day I absolutely dreaded going to work, because my day consisted of nonstop calls from both vendors and dealership managers, all screaming about shut down accounts and nonpayment - and the fact I couldn't do anything about it made it worse.

The final breaking point for me is when I witnessed Mr. Plattner absolutely degrade a fellow employee. I watched as the employee politely tried to inform Mr. Plattner that one of our advertisers has shut down our account with them - due to nonpayment. Mr. Plattner then continued to absolutely yell and berate this poor woman, flat out calling her "stupid and incompetent" and I stood there in absolute disbelief that an owner of a company would treat someone so poorly. I started job searching the very next day and as soon as I was hired elsewhere a few days later, I left immediately. This man has a huge plate of well deserved karma that needs to come his way.

i bought a chevrolet EQUNOX from Platner ARCADIA CHEVROLET on approxamately Sept 25th 2012 and they failed to tell me that the vehicle i was buying was a buyback under the Florida lemon law.I just went to trade it for a 2015 Honda CRV and they did a car fax and found out that this vehicle was bought back as a lemon. they sold this vehicle to me without disclosing this information to me by word of mouth just so that they could unload this vehicle to a trusting sucker as i was. i will never buy sell or trade with ARCADIA CHEVROLET AGAIN and i advise all who read this notice to stay clear of these dishonest unethical low lives.

i urge everyone to stay away from PLATNER ARCADIA CHEVROLET, in September of 2012 I purchased a 2011 Chevrolet Equnox from this outfit, and they failed to verbally tell me this was a buyback under the Florida lemon law. I just went to trade this vehicle in for a new Honda CRV and they did a car fax on this vehicle and found out that it was bought back under the lemon law of Florida. my advice to everyone is to stay away from this agency at any and all cost. they are dishonest and a low life outfit. i wouldn't ever buy sell or trade with this dishonest bunch of theives. Please adhere to my advice. they are just out to sell vehicles and they have absolutely no ethics in their dealings

The Platners are human waste. Doug Platner is the heir to Black and Decker and is the worst businessman and human being I have ever dealt with. I hope to God my spouse finds a job ASAP and gets the Hell out of there! I strongly urge everyone to not support this man! He already cheated them out of pay once and I don't want it to keep happening.

Boycott any Platner dealership!

This operation should be shut down. This man has a very LARGE history of cheating people out of money! As I see the complaints are older, I can assure you, this operation is still conducting business the same way. Cheating and running over peole with no care to the people he hurts. In today's world of electronics, we have the ability to publish comments and frustrations. This is why I publish this. To warn people. In this case, they are very valid! This man has been allowed to take advantage of poor working people and apparently the government seems to allow him to continue? At what point can enough people make a impact to put this operation where it needs to be? OUT OF BUSINESS! To contribute to this operation, is to work for a BAD business! While, I understand the sales persons whom may have had disagreements with commissions, the number of complaints from non-sales persons would indicate a major problem. I personally have knowledge of this mans business practices. Beware of this organization, his operations and business practices. He thinks he is beyond following the rules. His day will come! He will have to answer for his misdeeds. If enough people stand up, eventually, he will fall.

Worst company I have ever worked for in my life. Doug Plattner is pure ###, I am so glad I left that crap place. I have watch him single handed take advantage of not just my co-workers but my friends. i have seen good people come and go from this place. Doug Plattner and his wife Marci Plattner should never run a dealership. You literally have to fight to get your paycheck and 99% of the time it's wrong, and they leave stupid notes on your checks stating how bad you su*ck pretty much. Doug plattner has false visions of his crap company. They are purchasing another dealership down in south florida somewhere...god bless those poor people.

Here it is, May of 2016. And all of these comments ring as true now as they did when they were first posted. Now, I haven't me Doug Plattner in person, but I do work for his company. And I can say, without any doubt, that this is the worst company I have ever worked for. Everything stated before me is still true. He does not pay his employees or managers. That is one reason there has been over 20 different managers at this location alone in the past year and a half. I, personally, am waiting on roughly $4-5000 in commission from the last month and a half alone. Apparently, being the number 1 salesperson in a store doesn't grant you any leeway in his horrible practices. I just got my check today, and they haven't paid me for a single sale, Some being as old as a month and a half. Not only that, but every other salesperson here has the same or a very similar grievance. I have also been told by another salesperson that Doug Plattner PERSONALLY reduced a commission from a sale from around $800 to the minimum $200, all while a manager was in the room telling him not to because it wasn't right. And that isn't the first time he's done it. He doesn't care about his employees. Considering the current economy and job market, he doesn't have to worry about having a high turnover rate for his salespeople OR his management. There will always be some other poor sucker in the works who desperately needs a job and doesn't know anything about this horrible person or his despicable company. I can only speak from experience about the location where I work, but I would assume that all of his locations are pretty much the same. I honestly hope the manufacturer who has their name on the signs at this location pulls it from him and boots him out the door. He doesn't deserve to have his name attached to anything so long as he refuses to pay his employees. I contacted his corporate office to see if they are willing to do anything, and if they don't, I WILL be contacting the manufacturer for the new vehicles at this location and I WILL let them know exactly what kind of practices he is currently doing. And I will take it one step further if I have to and contact the local news broadcaster and have them blast this story all over the state of Florida to let EVERYONE know how crooked and diabolical this snake is.

This company is trying to hire me for the Key West dealership. It's a manager position & I will have to relocate from another state. I'm concerned about the company not paying employees. Do salaried employees have the same problem collecting paycheck as others? I would really like to know how the FLorida Auto Dealers Asso. feels about the guy & the NADA, if he is even a member. Amazed that the manufacturers continue to approve him.

Yikes as a customer trying to locate a gap insurance policy purchased ( well supposedly purchased) from one of the Plattner locations, I'm getting a little worried. Waiting for the proof of purchase now. Company listed says that there is no policy in my name. GREAT...

Curious 1010, I'm curious and in the same position. Did you take the gig and if so, any issues getting paid?
