Great place to start shopping, especially if trying to buy a first car for a kid. Very hard to find affordable cars in Iowa that are not covered in rust by the time they become "affordable".

I cannot speak highly enough about Nate at D&G Auto Group. My wife's car got a flat tire on I-80 a…read morecouple weeks ago. I was at a conference in Omaha, so I googled car shops in the area and called Nate. He stopped everything he was doing to help her when she arrived. Although a tire wasn't available that day, he made phone calls to find one and even contacted retailers in Omaha in hopes that I could pick one up. He ended up ordering us a tire and putting it on the next day as soon as it arrived. He was kind and genuine and truly seemed happy to help us.

JOHNNIE HOGEN, I wouldn't even give 1 star. The most unprofessional, crooked, and unethical car lot…read morei've ever heard of. Being upfront and honest with customers is a MUST in the selling business, especially selling a necessity to most. The fact that anyone at all has left this lot and not made it home is bad enough. The fact that it's happened MULTIPLE times to MULTIPLE people and you avoid the issue until it's no longer your problem, is deranged. An older couple, from out of town, came to your lot, discussed needing to replace a totaled car, and explained their boundaries and concerns to you, and you sold them a piece of shit that couldn't get them home safely. When they attempted to reach out to you, as a coward, you dodged every call, message, email, etc. You did not reach out to them one time about making things right or explaining any sort of issues or solutions to them. They have stated that they just want things made right, not any sort of compensation or refund, and you were and are too entitled and arrogant to do just that. When you were confronted with the situation, you continued to lie to my face and blame the old couple for not driving the car (that broke down) back to your shop for you to fix. This is entirely your responsibility and, from one ethical business owner to a nonethical business owner, I would recommend taking accountability. As you've stated before, "Most dealers wouldn't have even given you a conversation after purchase" is exactly what you did and is completely and utterly disrespectful to anyone at all, unethical in your business, and embarrassing to yourself.

Most junk yards I spoke with had a problem with me not having the title. I did all of that and low and behold they followed through, was very painless and I'm thankful for all of their help.
