Purchased a Dodge Avenger from this dealership a couple of weeks ago, and it's been an absolute nightmare ever since. The car has had nothing but problems -- clearly a lemon -- and the dealership has been completely useless in addressing the issues. To make things worse, the manager, Mark, asked us to take down our initial negative review with the promise that they'd help cover the cost of repairs. We gave them the benefit of the doubt and removed the rating... only to be ghosted with no follow-through, no support, and definitely no deal on repairs. Just more empty promises. We've now wasted thousands of dollars on a car that should never have been sold in the first place. This place is dishonest, unprofessional, and not to be trusted. Absolutely stay away from this place. Total scam. Legal action is being pursued. read more

Carland - Car repairs after purchasing - Car Dealers Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This place is located on the SW corner of 19th Ave and Mountain View Rd. Entrance is on Mountain View Rd. The hours are M-F 9am - 4pm and Sat 9am - 1pm (see photo). If you read the 1 star reviews most of them seem to be they bought a car and then something goes wrong. Most of these smaller used car places have a mechanic that does some minor repairs but in no way can you rely on that to be enough. The problem is this place will not let you take the car to a mechanic. There are mobile mechanics in the area around Carland. You can search them on your maps. These guys can check the car. Of course they cannot lift the car up and look under but it seems some kind of an inspection would be better than no inspection of cars at this place. Their prices look like good deals but it depends on how much is wrong with the cars. In one of the positive reviews Carland decided to fix the AC at no charge and in another review they only offered to inspect and then give a price for the repairs. We tried to get a Ford Edge looked at by a mobile mechanic but the car sold before I could get the guy there to check the car. The workers are friendly but the bottom line here is you need to get the cars some kind of inspection before you buy it, not after. read more

Carland - 2023 Hours - Car Dealers Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

If i could give these muthafuckas zero stars, Id give them negative 5. This place is trash. Do not shop here. Sold me a car that broke down in 5 days, and it's taken 3 weeks and still haven't gotten my money back. It's poorly managed And they lack care and concern for anything outside of trying to move their fleet of shit vehicles. Bogus AF! I bought my car the 15th of July a 2010 Dodge Journey from Anthony (just in case y'all try that "we have no record" crap and took it back the 21st. Was told the "accountant" would have to be in In the morning to touch the vehicle. Today is the 6th of August and I still don't have my money. And can't get anyone who gives a shit to help me get it back. Just an update, it's now September and this piece of shit place still hasn't given me my money. Don't shop here. read more

Sold me a POS back in 2019,it was my fault that guy Anthony if he's still there, saw my desperation. Which gave him opportunity to sell me said POS. Their lot is garbage, they just sell cars straight from the auction and have fake mechanics. So long story short the car I "financed" starting having serious issues 2 months after I got it which was Thanksgiving night. Got it fixed in 2020, but still leaking oil and ended up putting a new motor in it back 2022, had transmission issues and fixed that in 2023, July of 2023 it broke down again and on my last car payment I traded it. Thousands of dollars wasted,time wasted. Don't ever deal with Carland they WILL rip you off. Unfortunately for me I was not aware of the Lemon Law and should've utilized it. I had opportunity to research lots closer to me, I needed a car and didn't want to go through the BS of a real dealership running my credit and being there for 4 or more hours. I learned my lesson. read more

I bought a 2013 car I've spent over $5000 getting it fixed I have a nonstop problems with this car I spent 6300 buying the car. I have multiple loans out due to getting my car fixed because it was so much stuff wrong with it. They turned the engine light off engine light came on three weeks after start driving a car and they mechanic shop is trash. They said they gonna help you fix your car but they don't ever answer the phone and the mechanics don't know what they're doing. read more

If I could do 0 stars I would. This company was HORRIBLE in every contact I've had with them. I'm so happy that I was able to avoid getting a car with them. Anthony - you are a car sales man..a month later with 6 credit inquiries and you never let me know a bank approved me. Also when I asked to speak with a manager there Anthony was portraying he was him..multiple voice messages and text later no follow up no communication. Sullivan in Tempe was able to get me in a SUV $0 down and took my trade in for $2500 where Carland wanted $2500 down but advertise $500 down bad credit..no credit ..repo a joke read more

NIGHTMARE STILL NOT OVER!!!My car has been paid off for 2 months. No title, no credit letter, nothing. Trying to buy a house. Said letter was mailed. Said a 1099 mailed. NOTHING!!! GOING TO SMALL CLAIMS AT COURTHOUSE FOR DAMAGES ON MY DAY OFF. The company refuses to provide me with a copy of the agreement that I completed in paying off my car. I keep getting missed payments even though it's paid off. I make disputes through my credit and still no updates. I am trying to buy a house. I will be going to court for damages. No payment receipts, no letter of reference absolutely nothing. I keep being told it's under review? Review for what it's confirmed that it has been paid off. I left a review which triggered the closing payment agreement. Now nothing. I am going to call claims court for the ongoing issue. Laundry list of car problems when purchased. Dealership never fixed repairs as promised as well. NO ONE IS HELPING ME!!!! My credit is being dragged through the mud causing personal conflict. This is criminal and will be going to small claims after leaving reviews so this doesn't happen to anyone else. Quality acceptance and Carland car sales in Phoenix Arizona. I AM GOING TO COURT!!! read more

This place is a rip off. I got my daughter a vw jetta ran for a day. The car was 3000 and within a month we have another 1700 into it. They are no help at all keep saying o well should of had a machine look at it first. DON'T BUY FROM THEM I CAN'T GO LOWER OR I WOULD. ZERO STAR DON'T GET SCAMED RUN RUN FAST AWAY.... read more

I wouldn't even give them 1 Star. My daughter went in looking for a vehicle for her and her 4 kids. They had a Chrysler Town and Country being detailed and sold it to her. No test drive or anything. Once her dad looked at it and she drove it a little ways we noticed there are several safety issues as well as things that need to be repaired. When we called there is nothing they can do. It was purchased as is with an implied warranty and the guy on the phone said they would look at that for free but everything else they would offer a quote for repairs. I told him that I will not accept them driving in an unsafe car for this dealership to make a sell. I would say if your looking to buy a vehicle go anywhere else but here and tell a friend. Word of mouth is so productive in these cases. She used all her money to buy the van and can't afford the repairs. I don't want this to happen to anyone else. read more

if i could give 0 stars i would. i waited a week for a 2013 Veloster. told me the bank looks great and that i would be getting a call from the manager the next day. i never got the call. ive been calling every single day no one would answer, i called today for what? to be told the car they told me i would be getting was sold. DO NOT COME TO THIS PLACE TO FIND A CAR. THEY GUVE PEOPLE THE RUN AROUND FOR NO REASON. fuck this place and fuck the workers. they don't care about how people are gonna end up feeling, they only care about making their money. read more

I wouldn't even give this company a half of a star. They scammed me out of my deposit on a 2006 Lexus and it had it posted on there site on offer up the next day. The car had check engine lights on when I told the salesman's about it they called the police and block my car in and wouldn't let me take it after I had already gave them the deposit saying that I had no warranty and they were canceling the deal. Please believe I will be going to court with this. Radio wasn't working air was not working and car was getting hot. Please do your research. read more

Found a car that I was interested in, guy told me it would be about a week before they made some repairs and were ready to sell it. The day rolls around and it turns out that it's still not ready. This happens about two more time and then the guy stops replying to my texts. Extremely unreliable and very poor communication. read more

I had a great experience at this used car dealership! I bought a car here for a super fair price. The car was posted on Craigslist and it was exactly as described for the exact price when I went to see it in person. The mechanic had been out sick when I bought the car, so they offered to fix a few things free of charge if I brought it in the following week. They ended up servicing even more than they had originally promised on the paperwork free of charge. Super amazing and easy car buying experience! read more

Scammers brought a car and broke down within 24 hours the guy kept saying you have no warranty had to call the police. Don't ever do business with this company. Guy was threading and didn't even want to fix the car.i should have looked at reviews before I went in to this lot. At least I know now. read more

Carland - Car Dealers Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

See all

Very poor customer service from Nick. It took a couple of hours to get the first initial response and then once he had all of my information he went completely silent. Clearly people come here because they don't have perfect credit, but that doesn't make them any less deserving of a prompt response. Very disappointing. read more

Don't waste your time. I wasted a week being told from them that they could do a deal and then never returned calls or got back to me. Very unprofessional. Even told them I was taking off work early to come down and got no response till that evening after I left work early. Went somewhere else and was helped the same day and got a nice ride. read more

I have had nothing but good experiences with Carland. Dave..Matt..Mark.. and whoever i missed lol they are all great and work together. Any problem I had they were always available to help. My situation was a difficult one and they really worked with me. I don't have the best credit so getting the car that I want is often difficult but Carland made it super easy. Their selection of cars is dope... and the prices are very affordable. I would recommend this dealership to anyone with bad credit and looking for a good quality car that isn't a lemon!! read more

Please don't go here with out researching the car you want to buy. I went in to buy a Porsche Cayenne, and they had 2 on the lot. I took a quick glance at them an d was over eager to start the process to buy the vehicle. However after starting the process and looking into the vehicle something didn't seem right about the car. I asked for the car fax, and the dealer kept beating around the bush and saying things like oh the printer is having trouble we will get it to you. After talking with them and asking alot of questions, they seemed hesitant to approve me. The car I was looking to buy was as advertised a 2006 porsche cayenne GTS, something seem odd here...the porsche cayenne GTS model didn't come out until 2008. So Naturally this was a red flag. After getting the vin number it pulled up a SALVAGED titled porsche cayenne standard model. The car was repainted and then they added a decal to make it look like a Porsche GTS. BOTTOM LINE: INSPECT THE VEHICLE THOROUGHLY. I did report them for fraud and I am leaving this review in hopes that you do not find yourself out of a lot of money. read more

Carland - See the GTS doesn't belong here. Beware this car is still on the lot - Car Dealers Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Let me say, I was very skeptical about buying a used car first of all especially if it wasn't from one of the major dealerships. But I kept seeing these nice cars at carland on Craigslist and decided to give them a call. I spoke to Jordan who is one of the nicest guys you will meet. Long story short, I ended up purchasing a Audi at less than the Blue book value. I read the other reviews so I decided to get the car checked out at a Audi dealer and behold, they said the car was well taken care of and no major problems. The A/C went out in my vehicle within days of the purchase. I contacted Jordan and he stated that he would get it fixed. The stayed true to their word and installed a new compressor and blower in my vehicle. I'm glad I chose to do business here.. read more

These guys sell cars that are not fit for driving. I bought a 2006 Pacifica from them, bald tires(I replaced them), tie rods (completely worn out), rack and pinion bushings (shot), brakes(going bad). Then they refused two days later to make it road safe, after I had already put $1000.00 into it to make it almost road safe. I had to trade in the car that day at another dealership in order to get a safe car for my daughter and I. I will never go to this lot again. I have been warning people about this place as well. If you're looking for a project car, by all means go here. If you're looking for a safe, road ready car go somewhere else. read more

Didn't buy a car here and probably wouldn't, so review is based on short visit. Make sure you call ahead to check if vehicle is even there. They had multiple cars on their site that were not there. They don't take the time to remove them when sold and probably do it on purpose to get more business. Website said they had 54 cars and they maybe had 25. Drove 40 minutes and the car I was interested was gone. Said he sold it this morning. Yeah right. The second car I was interested in had been on the site for over 30 days so I was wondering why. A soon as I approach the car a guy comes out and greets us. He says have a look, we start looking over the car and he goes on his phone. Can't see his eyes cause he's wearing sunglasses( even though its cloudy)and this kind of bothers me. Anyway my husband says can we look at the engine? He says sure still on his phone. Can we start it up my husband asks. He looks up from his phone and say it needs a part, its misfiring and its loud...I have a part coming. Ok? When's the part coming we ask. Tomorrow or next day he says. Waste of time, car has been on lot over 30 days and still no part. Seems shady. read more

I actually financed a car from these ppl back in 2017 and got a good deal on it and the car only had a couple problems. I went back to them 2yrs later 2019 and talked to the same guy and financed a newer car and within less than 2 months later I'm getting a severe oil leak, they said they would fix another issue they never did, $1900 later the issue was fixed but still getting a leak from the oil pan, it needs brakes, new headlight in the passenger side, blah blah blah. Basically they sold me worse than a lemon, now I'm stuck with this piece of shit and forced to find a cheap daily because I can't afford to keep fixing it. And no... I didn't see any issues while test driving,these problems didn't arise until after a couple months of driving. Carland just buys shitboxes from the auctions and as long as their running they can sell it. My fault for going back to them! I hope they read this which I know they don't care what ppl say but just know they royally screwed me. Oh yeah and they like to txt and bug you if you made your payments but don't ask how the vehicle is doing. A$$holes!!! read more

I had been watching a land Rover for some time and when I had saved up $1500 for a decent down payment I applied for the Rover and we'll of course approved,I emailed them copies of pay bills and references and they said that was all needed.I figured all good to go,so I called the next morning to say get the SUV ready and I would be there in an hour,they said what SUV was it again,I said the Rover you have 2 listed online and been online for over 2 months.The guy said oh sorry we sold that one last night,I said what about the other one he said that was also sold last night,I called BS.I told him if they were sold then update website.He said well we can get you any SUV wanted just give them time...lmao..I didn't let on that I had been watching that sub for months and I went to get the exact Rover 3 months ago and overnight it sold but,they can get them all the time,not with the same VIN numbers...lol...I don't think they even have a land Rover there,I think they looked a couple up online and put it on there site to draw in middle class buyers...there the biggest liars I ever seen and I've seen alot...there a joke and I tell anyone that ask don't ever go there for a car or there other lot named Equity First,same car dealer just different name.... CROOKS...I almost forgot there adds say $500 down for all,read fine print, it's $500 plus $999 for the tags and taxes so you need $1500 as a minimum down to drive away unless you pay them the other $1000 the next week...as I said ripoffs and crooks read more

BY far the WORST car buying experience that I have ever had. Nothing but lies from the shady children that work in this dealership, if you can call it that. I bought a Cayenne, I drove home missing lug nuts and had a fuel system issue. I took it back the next day they said they would fix it. I rented a car at my expense and came back the next day to pick it up to find nothing had been done at all. I left it another day and they claimed the fuel injectors and lugs had been replaced. 3 days later I was having the same issues and I took it to a real mechanic to find that they had never replaced anything........NOTHING but runaround with this group there is not a professional at this shop. IN fact, I will go as far to say that they intentionally mislead you, pretend not to know who is who, they all use first names for fear of someone knowing who they really are. it is pathetic and they really screwed me and my family as i have had to pay at least $1500 in the first month just to keep the car on the road. DO NOT TRUST THIS GROUP. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND PAY MORE FOR A CAR THAT ISNT RUINED. I am reporting this group for fraud as well. Update: Tranny is bad and they put many parts together with bubble gum that I am now properly installing. Absolute nightmare and I wish ill will on these dishonest people. I would rarely say such a thing. read more

We bought an suv from them not too long ago. We delt with Matt, he was very friendly and nice but when it came down to the business of things he didn't know a whole lot. He didn't know the exact price of the vehicle we were buying (husband didn't care, he loved the suv at first sight), amongst other things. The tires on the car we low on air so we asked for them to put air but he said we can do that ourselves, also the detailer could not be found (?), so our car wasn't even clean! Also only 15 day warranty on just engine and safety issues, sketchy as to other dealerships at 30 day. Couple days later the car started to malfunction, take back to the dealership, they said they'll look at it and claim nothing is wrong probably bad gas. Also the detailer was found and he only vacuumed the floor, bad job too. Just a few days after it happens again, they tell us it's the fuel pump, also told it would be there for a day, ended up taking several (wrong ordered part they said, yeah Right). Couple days later it was still having the issue, Matt was no longer taking our calls, sending us straight to voicemail, so we have to call the dealership. There was lots miscommunication because they were playing a game of telephone. The last time (3rd time) we take it in they finally figure out the really problem (don't know the technical name but it had something to do with a coil). They refused to give us any paperwork on the car stating since they purchased the parts and did the work they don't need to give us anything. It's my car and I would have liked something saying they worked on it at least. Each time we had to drop the car off we had to get our own ride home, and when we picked it up there was always new dirt and leaves in the car, they didn't bother keeping it clean. And not once did the owner come out and talk to us himself, we were waiting for the car outside his office while he had one of his guys being messenger between us. Bottom line: Do not shop here. read more

All super nice salt of the earth guys at this dealership. Carland LLC seems to specialize in good looking High-Line autos. Hummers, BMW, Cadillac, Mercedes Benz, Lexus, Infinity, you name it. Credit Issues, no problem. Just have them checked out by a certified repair facility. Especially if a manufacture warranty is expired or high mileage vehicle. They do not know nor comply with Arizona Lemon Law statute required repairs and charges. Legal pressure costs time and money... Your time and money, and they know it and will string you along. It may not be intentional. Like I said, they are super nice guys. But when it comes to business, it's all about the money. Fair enough... Can't recommend them. And look at my past reviews; I am normally a 5 star rater. There are other places to do business. But if you must, HAVE YOUR VEHICLE CHECKED OUT AND FIXED BEFORE YOU BUY. Good luck. read more

They add a bank fee of a couple thousand dollars on top of a car they overcharge and try to be nice about it yes they have some great vehicles but by the end you pay the same as a new car. Would not recommend going to these guys. read more

SCAMMERS!!!! AVOID CARLAND!!!! If you want to pay cash instead of finance, they will do all they can to keep from selling the car to you. Responding to a Craiglist ad for a 2007 (listed as '08 on their website) Mazda 3 that was posted as far back as 8/11/15, I called the number listed for Matt on 9/5/15. No answer, so I called the main line for the dealership and spoke to Ryan. He asked if I'd be paying cash or financing, and I told him cash. He said he'd have to check if they still had the car and would text or call me back. I never heard back. I texted Matt on 9/6. No answer. Called the dealership on 9/7 and spoke to Greg, who also asked if I'd be paying cash or financing. He put me on hold to see if they still had the car and came back on saying he didn't think they had it anymore. After complaining that Ryan didn't get back to me when he was supposed to, he put me on hold again to check with his assistant manager. He came back on and said that yes, the car was sold, and that a sale had been in the works when I'd been calling Ryan on 9/5 and so when the sale went through, he didn't call me back. On 9/8 I had another person, a male, call the dealership. He spoke to Jeff and asked if the car was still there, and it WAS. They LIED to me about the car being sold when I told them I would be paying cash because they want to make more money off of people financing. This dealership is made up of the kind of people who give car salespeople a bad name!!!! read more

I saw a car that I was interested in posted one morning, called that same evening and was told the car was sitting right outside on the lot and to come in the next morning. I drove out 35 minutes to look at the car and when I arrived I was greeted by a salesman taking a drag from his cigarette. Another salesman came out of the office to greet me as well. When I told him about the car I was interested in he said that it was at emissions, but after showing him the actual ad that was posted less than a day before, he stated that the car had actually been sold a few days before, but he would be more than happy to show me any other car; the classic bait-and-switch... I was very disappointed, it is bad business to lack integrity and respect for a person's time, but what was surprising is how unapologetic and nonchalant the salesman seemed, like if this was the norm. Needless to say, Carland Auto Sales is your typical shady and scummy used cat lot. read more

I bought a BMW from Carland. I must say I was very leery of going to a small lot, but after being treated like crap at the big dealerships I gave them a try. I walked in with $500, my credit wasn't the best, and I needed a car. After taking a walk around the dealership and looking at the inventory we went inside to look at what it took to own a car, I loved the 3-series but thought it was out of my range. It was not. I got my payments where I needed them to be, they even helped to get me insurance. I don't understand all these people that give terrible reviews, sometimes as a consumer we don't look in the mirror and realize that perhaps we are the reason for bad service. Because i can tell you this much, I didn't get any. Kudos to you Carland. I thank you for my dream car! I will not hesitate to send my friends and family! read more

I recently went to this shop very excited to get myself a new car a 2012 ford fusion I really liked it but now its been a couple days of driving and very disappointed. To began with when I took the car I noticed the radio wouldn't turn on took it back find out there was no radio installed luckily they ordered one and put one in but like I said only a couple days the car is jerking doesn't pick up on speed I am assuming its the transmission . I seriously feel like giving it back if they choose to not do anything about it. I don't understand how these cars are not being checked before being advertised. read more

DO NOT GET A VEHICLE HERE!!! I purchased a Nissan Altima. The 2nd week I had the vehicle it completely stopped on me while driving on the freeway. I called and they were extremely nice about fixing the vehicle. After picking up the vehicle from their mechanic, I assumed the vehicle would be running without any issues. Then the next day It breaks down again. I take it to a mechanic I personally know. To find out that parts from the vehicle were being held by zip ties. I could not believe it. I took pictures of the parts that were eon held up by zip ties. I have had so many issues with my vehicle. In the beginning they did not want for me to do a test drive. They said I had to qualify. They even claimed they would not sell me a car that was in bad shape because they have children and wouldn't want that happening to them. PLEASE PLEASE! DO NOT make the same mistake as I did. They should not be in business. They are crooks only trying to scam you. They take advantage of people. And sell cars that are in no shape for the road. read more

First off, I don't doubt that these sudden positive reviews are from people who work at this lot. Never go to this POS dealership! I went in and first checked what they could approve me for, they seemed nice at first but then they kept trying to push one car on me the whole time. Typical right? I saw a couple defects on the inside and they refused to lower the price. Tires were going bald, salesman started smoking sending fumes carelessly towards me. I leave without buying a car. A couple days later they call me to ask if I had already purchased a car, I lied to them and said I had. The guy on the other side of the phone starts asking questions such as: "what kind of car? How much did you pay? Where'd you get it?"so I trying to be nice, answer his questions. Suddenly, the guy on the phone starts getting an attitude and asking why I didn't buy from them! A few months pass and I see a car posted on Craigslist by them. So I ask them if it's still on the lot, and they reply with a simple yes. So I ask for pricing and things of that sort, knowing that the particular car I was looking into was underpriced I was skeptical. I left it as is and never went to go see this underpriced car. About 5 months pass till the present day and that same underpriced car pops up on Craigslist. DO NOT BUY FROM THESE SCAMMERS! I am considering doing an investigation and gathering evidence against these false advertising, and scamming people. read more

I went on the internet to search for a vehicle. I was bombarded by calls and e-mails from all these Dealers.Ryan at Carland contacted me 1 time asked me a few questions and said come in anytime to take a look. I was sent 1 e-mail from them, that was it. No pushy salesman , no 3 to 4 phone calls a day and no spamming my e-mail dozens of times. I decided to go with Carland just for the fact that I was not being harassed by them. I went there was looking at the cars Ryan came out to greet me. This was a painless process, I was in and out of there with my 2010 Ford Escape in less than 2 hrs. I want to also say this, I drove the vehicle for about a week and a clicking noise I heard when I test drove it had gotten worse. I called Ryan and explained to him that it was making me very nervous. He told me to bring it in and they would take a look at it. Well turns out the axles were bad and they replaced both axles on the vehicle no charge to me. Ryan is the go to guy. He is very personable and great to work with. And yes I am a legit customer and happy with the the service and my vehicle. Denise O , Phoenix AZ read more
