Our Experience With Dinsmore Auto Group-…read more Holly & Andrew Ball 2020 Jeep Sahara- We purchased a 2020 Jeep Sahara from Dinsmore Auto Group on 3/28/2025, and unfortunately, our experience has been deeply disappointing from the very beginning. We strongly recommend that anyone considering a purchase from this dealership take the time to read customer reviews carefully. What we experienced aligns with many of the unfortunate concerns already shared by others. Same pattern of behavior . We also attempted to address these issues directly with their upper management by emailing the General Manager Austin Dinsmore. That message received no response on any concerns we had with the process from start to finish. Which speaks volumes about the dealership's approach to customer concerns and post‑sale accountability. Our in‑person interactions with staff reflected the same pattern: dismissive communication, a lack of basic customer service, and no willingness to engage in respectful, solution‑oriented dialogue. Outside of Jesse in the service department all other interaction had from sales, finance department and direct service manager was aggressive and lacked basic customer service standards. Key Issues We Encountered- 1.Major mechanical failure within 48 hours of purchase. The Jeep developed a significant engine issue almost immediately, despite being driven for less than four total hours since purchase. Dual head gasket replacement upper oil pan reseal. Auxiliary and main battery replacement. 2.Dismissive communication. Our concerns were treated as an inconvenience rather than a legitimate safety and reliability issue. There was no acknowledgment of how this situation impacted our family. Or options to roll back the loan to put a customer in a reliable, safe vehicle. Not once did anyone individual raise any concerns on our behalf. Would we have been okay with a different vehicle? Would we have been willing to pay more for a more reliable vehicle with no underline mechanical issues which caused the vehicle to significantly depreciate. 3.Lack of transparency about repairs. The initial repair was completed without any explanation of what failed, what was repaired before being signed off on by the customer, or whether OEM parts were used. They treated the vehicle as though it was held hostage and still theirs. 4.No post‑repair guidance. After a dual head‑gasket replacement--a major engine repair--no one provided follow‑up instructions or information about what to expect. 5 A second repair was needed due to poor attention to detail. The vehicle threw new codes within 24 hours of being returned to us, requiring another service appointment. They were specifically asked to not do any repairs until we were informed and signed off on them. They ignored this request and made so called repairs. 6.Inconsistent and inaccurate communication. Different staff members gave conflicting information throughout the process. 7.Attempt to limit our consumer rights. When we raised concerns in writing, the dealership asked us to sign a "Goodwill Service" agreement that would have limited their liability and restricted our rights under Washington State's Implied Warranty of Merchantability. This felt less like support and more like an attempt to silence legitimate concerns. This was done after the fact. When the vehicle was retrieved on the so called second repair. And backed dated to the initial mechanical failure less then 48 hours after the purchase. 8. When the customer's refused to sign this last minute attempt to silence them under significant distress. We were told no further repairs or concerns would be addressed on their behalf . Mind you they back their so called repairs with a 12,000 mile 12 month policy which they could not provide us with or clearly articulate where that was at . Or simply put that in writing on the " GOODWILL AGREEMENT " which they wish for us to sign with no recourse. We hope our experience sheds some light for future customers.

The fair price for the 2016 Acura RDX with tech package & Acura watch package with 74,000 miles was showing me $18,500 was the highest price in the range from a dealer. This is why i asked for a $1,500 discount. Tahir the sales person said that Kelley Blue Book doesn't know that market. Kelley Blue Book was founded in 1926 and has been an industry standard to protect consumers and help them get a fair price on vehicles. Duffy's business model must be focused on preying on the credit challenged customer and getting them into financing a vehicle at above market rates. Your response to my review never addressed the nearly $1,400 accessory charge that was tacked on to my price estimate i posted. Funny how this charge appeared on my quote when we never talk about any accessories. This was your way of price gauging me since i asked for a lower price. I mean how dare a customer come into Duffy's and try to negotiate a lower price. Your narcissistic response confirms my review of what a douche bag used car salesperson you are. I do want to thank you for treating me with disrespect which lead me to leave your establishment. My daughter and I purchased a 2017 RDX top of the line advanced package with every possible feature, which is one model above the one I was look at buying from you. one owner vehicle with immaculate service record. We purchased it from Audi of Bellevue who listed it at the lower end on the KBB price. I did not try to negotiate a better deal because I already knew they were giving me a fair price. We ended up paying over $5,000 less than Duffy's with no hassles and all of the salespeople were very friendly. In the end I would never recommend anyone purchase a vehicle from Duffy's or Brandon Rheil, They are very dishonest and don't care about their customers. Do your research, there are better deals out there and much better people to buy a car from.

Just to update: as i stated above they had no interest in my business or building a relationship since i didnt have a trade. The conversarion was litteraly that. Do you have a trade available? No i dont was my answer. There reaponse: call next week and maybe we can work something out. And yes messing with the numbers on a trade in have direct tax implications as a business. I am not upset at all, in fact glad the red flag was thrown so soon. Yelp and other review sites are here for consumers to inform other consumers about the experiance they have had with the business. Mine was not good and as such i am letting other consumers know the experiance I have had. No hate or mean its strictly the experiance..to bad it wasnt better.

I'm sure there are several factors that make this car purchase one of the easiest and most enjoyable ever for us. 1. We're older and no longer impulsive 2. We did our due diligence in our research before contacting anybody 3. We know our financial situation and credit scores so there were no surprises 4. We refused to settle for anything less than our expectations 5. Josh Reynolds - our salesman 6. Pricing listed within Fair Market Value rather than MSRP 7. Carfax emailed to us by Josh the night before our appointment We located this particular car online. When we called the dealership to verify if the car was still on the lot we were told "yes". We scheduled an appointment with Josh for 9:00am the next day. Upon our arrival, the car had already been pulled up to the front and ready for us to take out and test drive. Each of us provided a photo copy of our driver's license and in return we were given one hour to take the car for a test drive. We were both thrilled to test drive without a rep in the car with us so that we could talk comfortably among-st ourselves as well as dissect the car in private. Within 45 minutes of our test drive, we knew we would be taking this car off their hands. Since the pricing was fair, negotiations were not necessary. While filling out paperwork, we were offered complimentary beverages and snacks. Several banking institutions are available to guarantee the lowest % rates. The whole car transaction was completed in less than 2 hours (45 minutes were test driving). Additional warranties were offered but not pushed when we declined them. The car was detailed and filled with gas while we were filling out our paperwork. The license will be mailed to us so that we do not have to drive all the way back to the dealership (1 hour drive for us). We stole a 2013 Acura TL Advanced package with less than 12k miles and still under factory warranty. Thank you Josh for your time and honesty. By far the most favorable car experience for us both to date.

Very odd experience dealing with 410 Auto Sales…read more I'm out of state and called because I was interested in one of their vehicles. I was told that the service records unfortunately weren't immediately available and would take about three days to obtain. That's understandable. What I found strange was that, while I was waiting for the records, I was asked to put down a deposit to hold the car. I explained that I could provide the deposit by credit card, but only if it were refundable. I was then told that the deposit would be non-refundable and that this was not his decision--it was the owner's policy. The owner, however, was apparently unavailable. I was also told that someone local was supposedly coming in to purchase the car, creating additional pressure for me to put down a deposit immediately. Again, I was told that this was the owner's requirement and not the salesperson's decision. The whole situation felt unnecessarily complicated and, frankly, very strange. I have no problem with a dealership having a deposit policy, but the way this was presented--especially while the service records were still unavailable--did not give me confidence. Ultimately, I decided not to move forward. I would be very cautious about doing business with a company that handles a potential sale this way. There are plenty of dealerships where the process can be straightforward and transparent, and this was not that experience
