DO NOT BUY ANY VEHICLE FROM THIS BUSINESS!! I bought a car and paid for almost the entire amount in August 2024. It is now June 2026, and I have never received the license plates. The salesperson who sold me the car a man named " Dean"kept feeding me lies, and the outstanding balance just kept growing. We are currently in the process of paying off all the overdue fees at the DMV, because the person who sold us the car told us point-blank that *he* wasn't going to pay them read more

DO NOT BUY ANY VEHICLE FROM THIS BUSINESS! This was the biggest disappointment in any retail transaction I have ever experienced. Dean appeared to be the nicest guy ever, just like a friend to you but then the business Dean is a failure. We put a deposit on a car for our daughter who lives in the Bay Area. It was supposed to be ready about five days later. Five days turned into weeks of no communication unless you show up in person, excuses, missing mechanics, etc. We finally purchased the vehicle on 11/5/22. As of today, February 14, 2023, we still don't have a title, registration or current tags for the car. I went to the DMV field office today and they told me the process to transfer title hasn't been started. A compliant has been filed with the DMV Investigations Unit. The agent said they have a history with this dealership for the same problem. Do not waste your time or money here. No matter what, you will still be paying with your time to fix their problems long after you've left the lot. read more

Horrible! I called and inquired about a car they were selling I believe it was a gx 460 and I could tell right away these guys are scam artists. I did not trust them one bit. I asked to come see the car and they made multiple excuses about why they don't have it. I feel bad for the people who purchased from these guys. Do not go here! read more

I plan to get the news involved and file complaints with the DMV fraud department and contact the BBB. Also, don't be fool they go by PerrydeanAeroauto. Stay away from these monsters!!!!! read more

Tags expired March 31st 2022, went to DMV to renew and was told that the dealer had not transferred the title, so now I can't drive my car. We purchased the car in January 2022, they had almost 12 weeks to submit paperwork to DMV. Shame that I have gone from five stars to three stars and now one star read more

THEY DESERVE -5 STAR REVIEW I leased a car from Dean it took them 4mo to pretend to fix the A/C when I went to pick the car up the battery was dead, it had been keyed along the whole passenger side, and I barely made it to a gas station. To make matters worse it started jerking and smelled like something was burning.i got stuck on side of the road . I called & Cathy said there's nothing they could do I honestly don't know how these PEOPLE SLEEP !!!!!! They new this car wasn't fixed and instead of giving me my money back or suggest getting a different car they let me get stuck on the freeway and said oh well I HOPE THE BBA INVESTIGATES THIS SHADY " BUSINESS " read more

I purchased a vehicle last year June 2023 and it's Augu 2024 I have not received my registration or tags!! Every time I called they say lie after lie and ask for a couple more days. Well I went to the DMV and the lady said they have not registered the car under my name as a matter of fact it is still under someone else's name. Went back to talk to them and the old guy screamed at me trying saying he's not going to help me with anything and to leave his property cops came and said they are under investigation and that they have several cases on them i submitted proof to the dmv investigation department today and spoke to a lawyer. DO NOT BUY ANY CARS HERE!! read more

I purchased a 2012 Jeep Liberty, it's been a great vehicle. They got me financed and the owner got New tires as promised. The salesman was very professional and answered all my questions. I've now had my jeep for 3 years and it's still a in great condition, I drove it to El Paso Texas 4 times with No issues. That's approximately 1800 miles round trip. I'm actually considering purchasing a second vehicle this year, I'll be going to see what they have in their car lot. read more

DO NOT PURCHASE A VEHICLE FROM THEM!!! I purchased a 2014 Kia Forte from them in September 2023. It is now March and I have yet to receive registration and title. Dmv has no record of any title transfer. My tags expired in Nov. I have called repeatedly trying to get it fixed, they were cooperative in the beginning. Then they stopped answering the phone, would answer and hang up then just hang up. They told me multiple times that they paid for my registration and to just wait. I have been pulled over multiple times due to my tags. With the last 2 resulting in them threatening to impound my car. It is my only means of transportation to and from work, as well and transporting my kids 8,7, and 5 to and from school as well as the babysitters. read more

I have no idea how these people are in business. Was checking out a car and the guy was acting super annoyed that I was asking questions. The final straw for him was when I asked to get the car on the lift so I can check it out. He literally kicked me off the lot and told me to look somewhere else. Like you'd think they would want to work on their reputation considering everyone on the internet has nothing good to say about them. They expect someone to just buy a car blindly and not give it a decent once over? Don't bother with this place. Spend your money somewhere else, their target customer must be someone who is blind, doesn't ask questions, and is ready to just hand over thousands of dollars. read more

BUYER BE VERY AWARE!!!! Dean will scam you, insult you and play games. I bought a used truck from this con-man a year ago. Paid for the truck in cash. Never received registration or title for it. Find out several months later, there was no smog ever done on it when they sold it to me. During that time had the catalytic converter stolen and would be over $2500 to replace it. Took the truck to Dean and he had it for over three weeks and never touched it or got the smog done. Have had to go multiple times with Sanger PD to try to get this issue resolved and still dealing with it after a whole year. Have never dealt with a more unprofessional person. STAY FAR FAR FAR AWAY! read more

I recently purchased a 15 Hyundai from this business and inside of two weeks after purchase the timing chain went out. In our contract there was a 50/50 cost clause for any engine or transmission repair. We took the vehicle to our regular mechanic and received a quote for $1800. We then took it in to Gold Rush because of the repair clause. After they looked at it we were informed our (50%) would be $1600. I questioned the amount and was told that was half of the estimate. I tried to connect with the owner Dean because he is the one who told us we had this clause. Dean has not had the courage to address this issue to this point. Their little repair clause is a total fraud. Do yourself a favor and buy from a reputable location unless you are ok with being ripped off. read more

Where do I start here. Called on the Ford Mustang Mach 1. Simply asked salesman to take an undercarriage photo since i was 265 miles away. All lies from the unethical Cathy and Doug sales people. "Too busy.". Doug to pathetic and lazy to kneel down and snap photo. I drove to dealership. From 10 feet away one could see the car was complete garbage. Just a disaster. Now I understand why nobody wanted to take a picture. Lesson learned.... Read the reviews from these sleazy sales people, unethical at every level, and Google Street view the dump they are operating out of. Simple as that. Stay away from these people and purchase elsewhere. Don't be a victim to this crap. read more

Looking to get in contact with everyone who's been scammed by this dealer. Do not waste your money with DEAN AND HIS BUSINESS they Are scummy greedy people. They won't answer the phone. A guy just answers and says what are you talking about. I don't know how they are in business. They take from innocent women look at the previous posts. Don't be dumb. They turn off the fix engine light and do the minimal just so you can sign and be happy. I've talked to over 50 people who cars broke down within a week. Don't believe his guarantee about "as long as you own the car" he won't answer you once there's a problem. Better off taking a risk buying off the streets. Don't give these people any business spread the word!!! They shouldn't be allowed to rob people who just want a vehicle. read more

On August 28, 2022 I purchased a 2007 Dodge Dakota from Goldrush Auto Sales. After driving only 30 miles, the check engine light went on.I immensely called Dean and he said no problem, bring it in on Monday. In the meantime, I had the code read at AutoZone and it determined that there was a problem with the catalytic converters and the PCM was bad. I went back on Monday and the mechanic indicated that indeed the computer needed to be replaced and that would solve the problems. I was told that it would e okay to drive the truck in the meantime. Well, the truck started running very badly and I was afraid that I would do more damage,so I parked it. The following week I returned the truck for repairs, expecting that it would take 2 or 3 days to repair. I tried to call several times after the 3rd day but was ignored. Finally, after 2 more weeks, I was called and told that it needed a new timing chain. Long story short, seven weeks after my initial purchase, I was told it was ready. I took it for a long test drive. It was now smoking badly and I had to add 3 quarts of oil to the crank case. Then the check engine light went on again! I returned it to the dealer and told them to fix it correctly. I was in daily communication with my lender, as I wasn't going to make payments on a vehicle that wasn't in my possession. The truck never got fixed and the lender forced the dealer to buy it back. Now the dealer refuses to return my down payment stating that defaulted on the loan. Bottom line...this dealer hoped to stick me with a problem vehicle! I specifically asked Dean if he had run the Carfax report but he lied! If he had, he would have seen a suspected rollback report. Dean and his entire staff are rude and don't give a shit about their customers or their reputation! STAY AWAY FROM THESE SCAMMERS! read more

Don't waste your time here! Poor quality vehicles. They are very rude and unprofessional!

Called to buy a suv. Talked to Doug. He said no worries I could buy the car over the phone. Called the next day to give my credit card and info and confirm to have it delivered to Sacramento where I live. Talked with other sales person which said the could not do the deal over the phone I would have to drive down and pick up suv. Asked him to get Doug that this wasn't what we agreed to. He then hung up on me because I was not going to work with him . Finally after calling 10 times and being hung up the women that works there starts talking ghetto and tells me that they're not doing the deal . Nice great customer service. Supper nice and accommodating one day next day shit holes. Wow.... Stay classy read more

Highly suggest you go to a different deAler. My car broke down the next day. No one will answer my calls. Took My car to the dodge dealer they said my car is hazardous and should've never been sold. No answer from Dean. Beware they clear the engine management system so you will have no indication there's a problem. That's why they have you drive down the street every thing looks good till you drive off. They don't honor the 50% off repairs. Look how they responded to customers on GOOGLE. The employees are rude and hateful. Money hunger & take advantage of customers. I promise you these reviews are fake most of them are from there own employees. Look them up on better business bureau (BBB) or Google. From my understanding is they are under investigation that's why they are trying to get rid of their inventory. Everyone has the same story. The cars look nice but don't work. Mainly everyone car broke down in a week. The cars are sold as is look at there replies from the company in the comments on here. Anything else is a lie just to get you to sign. Spread the word. Let's get these Scum to either shape up or close down. Karma is coming to you DEAN AND EVERYONE AT GOLDRUSH. You guys are awful people. read more

Awful service. Had a deal set in place for a car to be paid in full, in advance and for them to have it delivered and then they backed out of the deal day of. Unprofessional and rude, their customer service guy repeatedly hung up until the owner Doug got on the line to explain further. read more

Just bought a 2013 Dodge Charger R/T. The car is almost perfect! A couple of minor things but all in all everything is ok. The first day the car did over heat on the highway back to my city. Dean called a tow truck and fixed problem on the spot. Will say not the perfect dealership. Customer Service needs a lot of work! read more

Worst place to buy or have their own cars they sell serviced! They sell nothing but junk and they don't honor their word that they will fix it ! Had 2 family members buy from that place and they wish they had never bought from that place I give it 10 negative stars if I could ! read more

Please read!!! Please read!! In no way is this an attempt to defame this business or to deter any future customers from spending their money here. I have decided to retain a lawyer and will pursue every monetary and legal action possible until I get what I paid for or a full refund. As a paying customer, I am writing a review to express my factual experience on this Yelp platform where we as customers share our business experiences. I have endless documented proof that will secure my victory in any arbitration court or lawsuit hearing resulting in you producing my purchased title or a full refund. The owner, Dean was helpful when we first met. The 2013 Dodge Charger had high miles but the price was fair. On November 17th 2021 I called the DMV which was unaware of any transaction on the car I purchased 47 days prior. Which explains why Dean signed multiple pages of our contract but did not date them. Which I discovered after the completion of the sale. At this point I began calling for weekly updates and got the usual run around. A few weeks later I decided to drive there and see if I could get some answers. After a peaceful conversation with Cathy one Mr.Dean, was clearly loud and aggressive to the point I had to tell him multiple times to not be aggressive with me because I was peaceful with all his workers I communicated with. He would go on to claim all his actions were legal and that he had 90 days and we will cross that road when we get there. This conversation happened after 66 days with no title and unknown to Mr. Dean, nearly 20 days after I had already spoken with the DMV who was previously unaware of any transaction on my vehicle. All my actions are "legal" is what Dean told me face to face December 6th 2021. A simple refund will solve everything and I will stop my legal pursuit. There is nothing left to discuss and due to the aggressive nature of Mr.Dean I no longer feel safe being there to discuss this in person as logical adults without a police presence. Mr.Dean and his misrepresentation of the property sold to me combined with a failure as a dealership to disclose the title issue prior to the sale, his failure to be an understanding business owner regarding my frustration for the lack of professionalism for my paid transaction and what appears to be an attempt to back date and forge our paperwork avoiding future DMV penalties or fees has left me with no other choice. This legal process will begin, as I will file complaints with the Sanger or corresponding local business bureau reporting his actions, complaints will also be sent to the DMV regarding his business and his practices followed by our future dates for arbitration or lawsuit proceedings. Not sure what he assumed but I am a college educated military veteran and through legal actions and the law I will pursue every last penny this man owes my family in addition to any awarded court related fees. His business decisions have created a financial nightmare for my family and jeopardizes my ability to earn income through my military GI Bill as I fear I won't be able to legally drive my vehicle as needed. With a $200 licensing fee in our contract and his collection of $665 sales tax it shows he is currently in jeopardy of not providing the services I paid for to complete this transaction in a professional and timely manner of 90 days. But I will not stop pursuing this to the fullest legal extent through the court system until this businessman makes this right. As I was told by Dean on the afternoon of December 6th 2021, I must be patient. Taking his advice that is exactly what I'll do. A failure to provide me an authentic title or full refund will result in me pursuing all the legal actions possible until I get a full refund. I no longer want to do any form of business with this individual as I believe his practices to be misleading and unethical. Therefor undermining any agreement due to the appearance of his misleading ways. I do not believe any business can legally sell any form of property when that business is unable to provide proof of ownership at the time of the transaction and still unable 70 days later. 20 more days to go. read more

I'm currently working with my niece in the hopes of resolving an issue she is having with Gold Rush Auto Wholesale in Sanger, CA. This dealership sold her a vehicle, a 2015 Hyundai Sonata, with pre-existing damage which that was not open and obvious. The damages were found when she took delivery the vehicle and items stopped working and fall off the vehicle. She The returned the vehicle immediately to the dealership, on the same day it was purchased, to repair these damages and she was instructed to leave it for these items to be repaired. This should have been the end of the matter, but it was not. 4 days after the purchase of the vehicle she learned the vehicle had severe to moderate structural, mechanical and suspension damages that had not been disclosed. She has since secure a diagnostic test which confirms the damage listed above and more. The estimated repair cost for the damages found on this current diagnostic test is more than $5,000, with no guarantee that once the vehicle is torn down there won't be more. The owner refused to talk with my niece when she attempted to work with him to get this matter resolved. He walked away from her as if she was invisible and is refusing to complete the necessary repairs. He is now threatening to Lien sale the vehicle and to charge her daily storages if the vehicle was not remove from his premises. The vehicle is unsafe and mechanical unfit to drive. My niece works hard, she is a single parent of 2 and struggles to make the ends meet. She can't afford to allow a business to take advantage of her because of her gender, income status and/or their perception she lacks the knowledge or ability or resources to hold them legally accountable. Well i guess it will take a village to show Douglas and Dean they have underestimated the family that supports my niece. If you question the above and need proof of this dealerships pattern of behavior, please do a Fresno superior court search using their business name Gold Rush Auto and/or Golf Rush Auto Wholesale. Check the BBB, Yelp and finally the DMV customer complaints. You will see we are not making this stuff up. This dealership has nefarious business practices that take advantage of the young, old, and financially disadvantaged. PLEASE SAVE YOURSELF THE STRESS AND the loss of your money. Do not do business with these people. read more

I have bought three cars from here and recommended my sister to buy hers from here which was a huge mistake we bought a car here for 4,000 and since day one it's had terrible issues. Won't accelerate past 30 mph no one ever got back to me after they said they would fix it and the car is still sitting till this day lost a loyal customer and I won't recommend anyone to go here lemon cars. Also terrible service as I was yelled at by the owner for calling too much apparently they just unplug the phone and talk bad about customers for calling to much. They don't care they will sell you a messed up car to make a quick buck and ignore you. read more

TL/DR: grueling customer service; not communicative; rude salesman, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE I'm only giving them a two because the receptionist was a nice person. I could tell she at least had the intention of helping me, though not in a timely manner as she is severely overworked. The rest of their crew I cannot say the same for, as they are non-communicative and very outwardly rude especially towards female clients. If you can avoid him, don't do business dealings with Dean. Definitely aims to make money first, and not make sure you're reassured in the vehicle you're getting. Waited over three months for any type of registration/tags/plates for my vehicle. When I called several months after buying the car in cash, was told they had finally put my reg. in that DAY. After going back and forth with the receptionist for my tags after a week she still did not keep them in hand for me, but sent them to my previous address... if you're in a pinch, buy from somewhere else read more

I consider myself a pretty forgiving person. I like to give people the opportunity to correct issues whenever possible in the case of gold rush, auto wholesale located in Sanger California. This was the wrong approach wrong approach in working with him trying to work with them I purchased a car on February 21 and from that date until recently I have been battling with gold rush, auto sales to fix the pre-existing damage to my car. In other words they sold me a vehicle that had prior collision damage and was unsafe to drive. I am in the process of seeking distance from a third-party to try to get this issue resolved when I attempted to work with gold rush the owners walked away from is if I was not even talking don't buy shit from these mofos there are so many people taking him to small claims court so I would suggest if he if he did you guys want to take his ass to two small claims. This place did my step daughter wrong single mom . Unsafe car and reliable. Got an estimate for repairs. It's over the top. read more

Will sell you a messed up car and will not answer the phone. Will hang up and claim to be other people. Don't waste your time. My car broke down the next day dropped it off the guy told me he didn't even look at it but I should be fine. Then told me ,How could he diagnose a problem if he doesn't see it. What kind of mechanic says that they told me to bring my car in at 12 and continue to hang up on me. I already spent $300 and counting on my car I bought it 12 days ago and I had to get it towed as well. Paid cash and gave there cards out was a happy customer till my car broke down the day after I bought it. They are straight dirty dogs. read more

I was dumb enough to buy a car on the fly because I had just been in an accident that totaled my car. They only let me drive down the street and I paid cash straight for this car. Overall it's nice and the carfax was good maybe I got lucky but when I was on the way home on the freeway the tire pressure sensor came on and has not turned off since. I immediately called them and text and then realized they'd be no help as now I'm the owner so I got the car off their hands. Anyway it's over a month I don't have my tags or registration yet so driving on tags that say 2016 I'm pretty sure I'll have to buy my own and may never get the title to my car. Also when I got home my tire went flat. I took a closer look and they GLUED down the metal on the tire you know once tires are done for the metal comes through. They thought they could glue itdown and get away with that. The very next day I was told to take it to their guys and get used tires put on. Hell no. Look at the shit job they did to the car to sell it so I went out of my way and spent $600 on new tires because I have children in this car. Thankfully I don't have any other issues it's been over a month but anyone who has gotten bigger issues needs to sue for being sold a lemon. That's illegal. These people look like crack addicts and alcoholics. Deans office smelled like mold and shit. Stains all over the carpet and during covid especially nobody in their establishment was wearing a mask. They KNEW I'd be having my kids in this car and they sold it to me anyway. Also bolts were missing off my tires so when I went to go get new ones the mechanic told me I was lucky that my tires didn't fly off on the freeway. Causing a huge wreck. Honestly screw everyone at gold rush. I thought they were alright and they begged me to leave a good review. I knew it would come down to this and here I am writing this review. They need to shut down and go to rehab. Save yourself the trouble read more

I haven't been able to get any needed information on my car since I purchased it being almost 3 months ago. Customer service is terrible.

purchased a lemon from there, they have a policy of repairing your car for as long as you own it at 50% off parts and labor. they kept my car over a week, told me it was ready and it still had problems. gold rush then said take it to dealership get it diagnosed then tell them the problem and they would fix it. after learning it needed transmission, they hung up on me and never responded back to calls, texts or emails. read more
