After totaling my beloved 2007 Nissan Titan I was on the hunt for a replacement Titan - a truck…read morewith less than 80,000 miles on it but within my budget. This would mean looking for a truck 7+ years old but with very low mileage. As my choices here in St. Louis were slim, I started searching online for a vehicle within 500 miles. I found quite a few but their Carfax reports hinted at less than desirable issues. I also found a few that seemed ideal but the dealerships were not to keen on having the truck brought to a local, reputable, mechanic to have the vehicle inspected bumper to bumper, under the hood, and on the road by an outside party. Most of them refused because the truck was "priced to sell" and "wouldn't last long". Some even argued that it was pointless to bring it to an outside mechanic as the dealership had their own mechanics. Ha...nice try. Enter Richardson Motors in Dubuque, IA... From the moment I spoke with Mitch, one of their "internet sales specialists", he was courteous, professional, and quite honestly...honest. We talked about the vehicle - a 2013 Nissan Titan SL - discussed price for a bit then I asked him to walk around the truck and inform me of anything he thought I might raise an eyebrow should I decide to purchase the truck sight unseen (except for a few pictures on their website) and have it shipped to me in St. Louis. He inspected the truck then called me back and gave me a vivid assessment of things I might find concerning. Next, I asked if he'd be willing to drop the ruck off at a local mechanic for inspection and he did exactly that within an hour of me asking! Well, the mechanic's report was thorough and overall very positive. He did tell me that there were some bulbs burned out, the wipers were worn, and a few other very minor issues. Once I was satisfied with the vehicle I dealt with their business manager, Vern, to further negotiate a price as well as compensation for the minor issues found by the mechanic. We quickly came to an agreeable price and they mailed me paperwork, overnight, with an enclosed overnight return envelope. This process was a little rocky as it took a few days to actually get the paperwork sent out on their end, but its nothing that would take away from my 5 star review. We were all navigating somewhat unchartered waters as not many people buy a vehicle in the fashion that I was doing and they, as nice as they are, don't need to waste time on a could-be buyer that may or may not actually buy the vehicle. Once my $$ was in their hands we had the paperwork completed, the truck shipped, and delivered within 24 hours. There were a few other ways this team, especially Mitch, went above and beyond to facilitate this oddball car purchase but this review is already turning in to a novel. In the end...I'm a very satisfied customer and I sincerely hope to give this dealership my business again in the future.

They left metal shavings every where that caused rust on the door hinges and caused issues with the windows rolling up and down, they didn't install the front windshield correctly and now there is a whistle, sliced the weather stripping on rear quarter glass and didn't admit to it, the roof molding pieces weren't installed in the right spot, there is a vibration from the sun roof cover, after repair there is a rattle in the rear end (same thing happened after taking my previous car there). After taking my husbands truck for repair after hail damage, they didn't realign the hood correctly. When all these issues and problems were brought to their attention, they refused to correct them and were very dismissive.

He insinuated that it was already there (IT WAS NOT), and doing his utmost to make us feel like liars and cheats, offered to have his guys buff it out, but would not agree to any repainting. The scratches are still there, but are not as visible. I will not recommend them to anyone I know, and will never take my business there again. I don't care if I need specialized Mistubishi care; I'll go to a neighboring city to give my business to someone more deserving.

We started looking at the outside of them and a salesman walked up from the building which was nice. They liked a gunmetal grey model but could not really see inside. I asked him if he could get the keys and open this one so they could sit in it and check out the fitment. The salesman said to come down to the building and go from there. I said but the vehicle is here they want to see why would we go way down there? I asked again if he could just open this one so they could see it. Meanwhile it was 38 degrees and a little windy as my parents are standing there. He said again come down to the building and go from there. I got agitated and asked why he thinks I should have my 80 year old parents walk over 100 yards down to the building in the cold when we are standing at the vehicle they want to see??? He said "Well whatever, if they want to see this Explorer come down to the office and get the keys!" Waved his hand and walked away. Boy was I pissed! Took my parents over to Chevrolet where they came out and opened any cars they wanted to see. Done ranting for now. I'll remember that experience for a long, long time.

All three parties dealt with this. All are trustworthy and told me it needed a minor repair like a muffler. Big A Auto told me the entire under area of car had been messed up from someone who didn't know what they were doing. He said it'd be $2,000 to fix it. At the time I thought maybe the college driver had let someone work on it so I paid it. My mistake as I didn't take time to think it thru. I know the folks I bought it from were honest and long time friends. Big A lied. They showed me of a fuzzy gray video t was supposed to be the problem area but of course it meant nothing to me and was just part of the deception. I will never go back to Big A again.

And the heat sent working. 3 appt later and I still have no heat and the dash lights are still on. They literally charged me $1300 and replaced a brand new thermostat with a twice as expensive new Thermostat which was never the problem oh and they changed and charged me for WINDSHIELD WIPERS which I never ok'd or was even asked about. So because I'm a woman they bullshit me with "it's probably just a censor or something no big deal And when I ask questions they act like im crazy and causing a scene. Sometimes they even charge me just to look at the vehicle. well now they claim that my frame is rotted through funny you did the back brakes a year ago and mentioned zero about frames or rust. So they won't send me any pictures of said rust they neglected to mention. So I call to ask which part if it was the rear subframe that was the issue and they literally wouldnt answer me and told me to take it to another shop because they won't work on it. Gee so glad I drop $1000 every time for absolutely nothing! Still no heat and still have the brake lights on the dash. Don't waste your time on a lousy offer to refund the windshield wipers. they are overpriced and do half ass work then treat u like u r the problem because they don't listen or care about you and it is the most ridiculously expensive place but the only shop located downtown. I have taken 5 cars to them and they encourage me to junk them because they are too lazy to do the work and to do it right the first or second time so third times isn't a charm. they said I could go drive it for the next year yeah right so me and my kid can be on the highway and the frame fall off her thanks so does that make them liable for oyr lives and any property damage bc they were the only ones who I paid $1400 to fix my vehicle and they instead basically totaled it on me and blamed me for it. Well we barely had snow this winter and MY CAR HAS NO HEAT SO I COULDNT EVEN DRIVE IT THIS WINTER! and they still have never produced photos from any other visit although they claim the rust is much worse than last year and claim they sent them. So they send another message saying here's from last year and guess what the link wasn't to anything! They are full of shit to be charging me $1300 and telling me to take it to another shop and not answer a simple yea or no question about the sub frame. They claim to have some super diagnostic computer yet couldn't even figure out why the brake light and abs lights were on (Which is diagnostic obviousl so dont get ripped off and disrespected) take your car to a reputable auto shop who will work with you on price and will not do a worthless inspection on other stuff while not correcting the issue you are being over charged on parts and labor for. Even my alero brakes went out two days after they repaired the brakes. well This was the last second chance they get with me. U fortunately I will have to take my vehicles across town but if I'm getting actual customer service it's worth it. This place is a joke.
