My boss' car state inspection has expired. I was searching and calling to get schedule some autoshop won't even answer my calls and some needed appointments till I called Devaney Auto Sales and Service amd able to bring the car the next day without appointment. Came in the next day and took the car and all the people work here are friendly. The guy in the front desk made sure I was warm enough at 11degree outside temperature. I felt comfortable waiting to the car getting inspected. I would suggest to give a try to this place. read more

Last Saturday I noticed a screw in my front time, I spent the afternoon going to three tire places on Rte. 6 in Seekonk. First one wouldn't go outside to check the tired size they made me, 2nd said it would take 2-5 days to order them, 3rd kept looking at his watch and told me that it would be better for me to go online and pick the tires I want. Then the obvious popped into my head, Devaney Tire, I had been then in the past and was very pleased. Monday morning I go there at 8:15, they go out to my Jeep to check the size then they made a phone call and said they would call me when they had the tires. Two hours later they call and say the tires are in, I dropped my Jeep off this morning and got a call in roughly 3 hours to say the tired mounting, balancing and front end alignment were done! No wonder they have been in business for generations! read more

I was extremely upset with the customer service I received at this establishment. I was treated with such disrespect because I did not know how to change a flat tire -- something that I'm sure a lot of young women (and men) don't know how to do. I pulled into the shop because I got a flat right near it, and I was extremely grateful (which I expressed multiple times) that they were open and able to change the tire to my spare. However, I was shocked when I was rudely told "You're lucky we're still here, I close in 20 minutes" and "You don't know how to change a tire? You should probably know how". I have never been treated so poorly over the span of 5 minutes, especially after thanking the gentlemen about 7 times for helping me when I clearly needed it. If I knew how to change a tire I wouldn't have sought their help.I hope they never have to help a nervous young woman in a similar situation again, because the man at the front desk clearly wasn't happy to do so. The gentleman who actually provided the service was more helpful and pleasant and changed my tire in 5 minutes (15 minutes to spare to their closing). read more

I am finally picking up the pieces of my TERRIBLE experience with this "stealership". This review is lengthy, as was my terrible day yesterday with this corrupt business. After searching for a pickup truck online for months, I came across a Ford Ranger listed at Devaney. After 3 calls to them, I finally spoke with John when I requested some additional photos. I told John that I'm from Buffalo, NY (a 7 hour drive) and to please send detailed pictures of the truck along with ANY scratches, rust or dents so I can be well aware of what I'm buying before making the hike to Rhode Island. He sent me a total of 5 photos, begrudgingly, and aside from some small cosmetic flaws he said (and the photos showed) a really solid truck. He said there wasn't any rust and it was "the best Ford pickup truck we've gotten in a long time". We agree on a price, I let John charge a $400 deposit to my Visa. I book a one-way ticket to Boston and then schedule a one-hour ($96) Uber ride to the dealership. After all, John abruptly told me they "don't have time and staff to pick people up from the airport". Hmm, ok, Mom and Pop business... no problem. This is where it ALL went south; after a long morning traveling, I arrive at the dealership (read: a glorified mechanic shop with 5-6 cars for sale on a busy road) and see the truck. I immediately knew I was the brunt of a bad joke; I saw rust spots all over, overspray where many body parts were obviously just painted (directly over rust, mind you) and an interior that was so dirty I didn't even want to step foot inside. John makes an ironic comment that "I'm ballsy for coming 400 miles to buy a car" while I tell myself that I'm overthinking things, get the keys, and take a 10 mile drive up the road to talk myself out of RUNNING to the airport and flying home. The truck squeaked, smelled like burning oil, the entire roof of the truck was littered with deep, pitting holes of rust. The windows rattled, the gears slammed. He told me he replaced all of the brakes, meanwhile they were so rusted that I couldn't even make out the age of them. He said he flushed the fluids, which I could see were blown all over the inside hoods cloth cover, probably by the serpentine belt. I pulled over into a parking lot to book my flight home before I even got back to the stealership. Then, in that lot, John calls me to say that his receptionist was hungry and asked me to hurry back to the lot so she could process my payment. Ha... I felt like I was going to lose my lunch, glad she was ready for hers! I get back, politely explain to John that A) I'm not going to buy the truck for any amount of money, B) would like an immediate refund of my deposit and C) feel that they should at LEAST provide me with $100 towards the $196 in Uber fares I was to incur. After fumbling a few sentences, John tells me that the car does have normal rust as a "New England truck", that he sent me pictures of the truck (yeah, just not the shitty ones showing the 50+ rust pits) and that the owner (who he said was golfing, away from his phone) would "never ever allow me to pay for your Uber". Okay, Mr. John from Providence, I've taken an entire day off to buy this truck, traveled across the Northeast US, and spent $650 to be here, buying this. I told him to call the owner, of which he didn't, and instead made me sit there for 15 minutes like an idiot while he "texted" him with no response. I ordered my Uber to Boston airport, walked outside & realized I had the key to the truck in my pocket. As much as I wanted to throw it out the window on the highway and make him play Frogger, I decided to be a decent human being and walk back inside. I again asked John to please help me pay for my Uber to the airport, of which he said no again. I hand him the key and told him that in exchange I'd be sure to share my experience online in hopes that someone else won't make the same mistake I did. John - You SUCK. Your family business sucks, and you are the epitome of a "used car salesman". I hope none of your customers ever go through what I just did. Go to hell! Update: After about 5 seconds on Google, I realized that John IS the owner of the business and was full of crap when he said otherwise. Ah, how naive I was. My sentiments stand... steer clear of this crook! read more

My experience with Devaney Auto Sales wasn't so pleasant. I purchased my first car here BIG MISTAKE! It'll NEVER happen again the Hyundai Accent 2011 vehicle I purchased had a bad purge valve which caused the vehicle to stall at the gas station when fueling, bad breaks and adaptors were placed on o2 sensors to trick the vehicle so that my engine light would not come on seeing as though I had a bad catalytic converter. In this case the vehicle shouldn't of passed inspection, but they managed to pass it illegally so they could make a sale out of me. I have a photo to prove half of my catalytic converter was missing when I decided to get it replaced. Unfortunately I now have to deal with the previous owners abuse and negligence to the car. I did give this shop a chance to fix the car which they did fix my breaks, but as for the other issues they left me to deal with the rest. Dealers cover up to this situation was to blame me for the mechanical issues. I have receipts that show I have put over $2,000 worth of repairs since purchasing this vehicle. This shop is known for their bad business around town YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Do not make the same mistake I did. This mistake gave me knowledge and I wont go through this again fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me! When looking to purchase a vehicle it'll be best to have the car inspected from a separate shop so you know the vehicle is worth purchasing. Believe me it'll save you a HUGE HEADACHE. Buy your own personal OBD2 scanner during test driving so that you can know what's really going on with the car. Woman especially bring a man with you because sad to say a lot of dealers and mechanics find woman to be naive and they do take advantage . read more

I went. And got my car towed there and they said it was the fuel pump, then it was a crank sensor then it was the entire box that houses all fuses and relays then it was a computer issue then there was no power going to fuel pump and then he said i dont know you have to tow it to the dealer and he charged me 98 dollars for not fixing anything. It seems like he is more interested in selling used cars instead of fixing them, he is a crappy used car salesman and doesnt know how to run his parents garage that is why his parents still work there his mom is the secretary.

I had the best experience! It was my first time in and needed a state inspection on a car that I knew needed a fair amount of work. Long story short, I left driving what I can only describe as a "new" car. I did not expect my car to ever drive this good again, it's an '04. I can't say enough good things about this place..... GO! Price is so fair too. read more

I purchased a Mini Cooper a week ago and did not get the suggested warranty. After I brought the vehicle home it would stall upon starting a couple times before idling. I called the shop manager (John) the following Monday and informed him of the situation and because I did not have a warranty I was a bit nervous. John was more than understanding about our predicament and offered me 3 options...to bring it in for further inspection (even bringing in an outside Mini Cooper tech), swapping it out for another Mini Cooper 2 years newer with 23,000 miles less than the one I purchased for the same price, or return the vehicle for a total reimbursement. And all this with an 'as is' warranty. I was totally shocked because I dont believe this is a regular practice for any dealership but I was grateful for his resolution. Would I purchase a vehicle at Devaney Auto Sales & Service again. Absolutely! Thank you John and everyone at Devaney Auto Sales read more

Handed mechanic 2 side panel bulbs to put in for me, and when I got home, noticed they were still in the package on the seat.. and for my leak issue they couldn't answer my question of where the gas leak was coming from and give a general idea of worst case estimate without 3 hours labor minimum @ $89 hourly. my regular mechanic said worst case i would need 4 lines, fuel pump assembly, and tank plus labor and gave me a worst case estimate. which is all i wanted to know, if it is worth going for. this place wanted me to pay 270 not having an idea of what I could be facing. that just doesn't make sense. now I know what I could be getting into and can make an informed decision. and I still have to get these bulbs put in. I wont return read more

I went here to get my car inspected, was looking for a new place to take my car. It's a ma and pop type of place, likely cheaper services than chains. Quick service. No real complaints read more
