    Horrible experience. Took the joy out of buying a car. Kurt the "internet manager" took forever to respond. I had to reach out to him multiple times and he was not able to give me a solid answer on pricing. I flew into Eureka to check out the car, when I arrived Roman the sales associate took me on a test drive. During our test drive Roman said he would compensate me for the price of my flight on the price of the car. He did not keep his word. Roman also stated there were 2 keys for the car. But they pulled a quick one on me. He switched the tag on a different key and handed me 1 correct key and 1 incorrect key for another vehicle. Over paid for the car for the condition it was in. 1 accident, replaced windshield, missing key, dents in driver door. Got snaked. Dishonest dealership, buy else where.

    I drove up to Eureka from the bay area to buy my car at Harper. Seth did everything to earn our business over the phone 1. He actually had the car 2. He held the price and the car overnight so we could get there 3. Negotiated responsibility over the phone 4. Straight up small town honesty great folks

    Kind of torn on this one. I went to Northwood, pre approved for financing from GM. So I filled the…read moreonline prequal and sent them the letter through gm online. The next day I find out my credit had been ran seven times, and again by gm, who had already offered me a loan... so I made an appt. went in two days later in person i said, "look I'm a year out of a 3 year bankruptcy, and I've worked tirelessly to get my credit score back over 700. I have a letter here from GM. I've been approved for 36k or less so rather than shop around for a loan I'd rather take this offer while you have a few cars that fit the bill." I was told by my salesman who was green AF, that's not how it works here, the finance guy makes all those decisions. I was told I could not speak to him at all. I feel like I should have walked right then, but they had the exact car I was looking for so, i said lets look at what you can do. I filled out some forms, which was odd, because they had already run my credit 7 times, but i assumed they knew what they were doing. they ran my credit to 6 loan companies and gm... again...all dinging off on my phone as it was happening. As I'm literally showing the sales rep saying wtf you guys just dinged my credit 14 times in three days when I already came with loan approval from gm in hand? this was not a prequal letter, it was a loan approval. I later brought this up to the finance guy who I was not allowed to speak with for an hour and he comes out and says "we'll we got you approved with GM" he said "Don't worry your score will drop like a rock but anyone important will know you were shopping for a car" - ok d.b. we'll my score went from 730 to 598 in 1 week because I have too many credit enquiries, and I came prepared to not have this happen. You guys need to listen to your customers, as you work for us remember? meanwhile the car wasn't detailed and there are quite a few spots with window sticker type sticky that needs to be professionally cleaned and buffed off. So they said, come by on Sat. So I did... But it turns out the detail guy wasn't in, and wasn't going to be. so I've been told now they will detail my car, and buff that sht out when the new plates come in, whenever that is. So I have a brand new car that desperately needs a wash and detail, and they owe me one... Judging by the reviews Im not sure if i should even let you guys service my vehicle which is free under the warranty I paid extra for... I'm the greatest customer ever, easy going, come with all the resources to get the job going, I don't ask much, I'm never rude, and I just want to be treated fairly.. I'm buying the first new car in my entire life, it should be a great and fulfilling experience. I should walk away excited, and happy as its the f#$king american dream!. but the only taste I have in my mouth is I shouldn't have bought here... 2 stars for my kick a$$ Chevy!! 1 because Hunter tried his very best...

It is your responsibility to check out any used car that you buy no matter where you buy it. For the chick that went to Lithia, well that's a place I will never step foot in.

When I looked into the recalls on Kelly Blue Book I found out that one recall is very serious. One recall report from 2023 for my exact year and model, stated that the engine could suddenly seize and catch fire causing an unexpected crash and/ or injury. I was very shocked upon finding out this information about my new car, so I went down to Roy's to inform them. At first, they did not take me seriously and tried to down play the situation. Together we called an Acura dealership down south, who confirmed exactly what I had found on KBB. Roy's knew of the recall, but I was told that because there wasn't a local dealership who could fix it, thet decided not to get it taken care of. They did the their own inspection, regular maintenance and test drives on the car and that's it. BUT, what they didn't know is that the engine needs repairs or even possible replacement! They said because there was no stop sale on it, they thought it was ok to sell. It took me maybe 5 mins to do what they could have done right in the first place. Even though they let me return the car, canceled our contract and gave me a full refund of my down payment, this is a moral issue. They did not do their due diligence in making sure that this vehicle was safe to sell. I have four kids whom I dearly love. At any given time my family and others on the road, could have gotten seriously hurt or killed in a car accident fire, and that is not ok! All because it was inconvenient for Roy's to do their job correctly. This is very disappointing and now makes it hard for me to trust other used car dealerships! DO BETTER ROYS! Update: upon further investigating my situation with Roy's family business, I have discovered that my car actually does have a stop sale on it. Which Roy's was unaware of. I know this because their one claim that they had done nothing wrong because there wasn't a stop sale, which is incorrect, afterall! Obviously they do not do their homework on the used vehicles that they buy to resell to the innocent victims of our community. Please see photos . Please save yourself and your family the headache, hassle, disrespectful treatment and possible life threatening accident, that you can get when you buy a car from Roy's in Humboldt County, CA.

    I think John, head of service, needs to get complaints more often. Let's get one thing straight: I…read morehaven't even gotten my car worked on yet, and I have literally nothing good to say. After my initial intake, I was already pretty put off when John stalled my manual twice and really gave no form of communication or direction. After you drive your car up and wait in line--which might I add, the ass end of my hatchback was sitting in the busy road for a cool five minutes, praying I don't get hit just saying it would've been great to be directed to the second lane. which I might add nobody knew it was there until John stalled my car into it. Get done with intake, car is done. Not that anyone asked, but my dad was hospitalized, and I haven't been able to communicate my situation too well due to mental stress. So I show up to pick up my car 10-5 minutes before they close. John is at his computer and the secretary is sitting there, I think doing paperwork. So I ask, "Can I get my car, please?" He says, "That's not possible. You came too late." I said, "You're open to 5. It's 4:55." He says, "Well, I can't do that paperwork." Then adds "John logged off his computer." John actively looks up gets up from his computer, asks if he can help, I tell him the situation, and he follows it up with, "No, I can't help ya I hus logged off my computer and I don't know where your car is" Buddy boy, John, you get paid $40-$60 an hour, or you're on a wonderful cushy salary. I was late because I had to stay 10 minutes later at my job. It's sad you can't either. Lord forbid you make anyone's lives easier. It's sad that possibly the only way for u to step up a knotch was when I had to tell you my dad was hospitalized in Redding for you to possibly offer to get it ready for the next day. That doesn't help me today, JOHN. Useless old men. Don't worry, I'll be calling the dealership and saying the same thing verbatim. The older generations like to make fun of the younger generations, but it's sad how they truly are--if not more lazy, insensitive, and just downright unhelpful--than they like to put on.

I've had multiple interactions with the gentleman working there and they haven't been pleasant. Why is it such a pain in the rear end to get anything done with these people? Is this not a service department? For the three months I've been trying to get a sensor ordered and replaced for the ABS system on my grandma's car. The only way to get anything done is if I go down there in person. And yet still, the part has not been ordered, nor have I received any phone calls. Half the time when you do call and nobody answers or people are not working and they say they will have them call you back the next day which never happens and they don't wanna deal with you . Simply preposterous! We will stop buying our vehicles from this dealership furthermore. We have bought many vehicles from them over the last 35 years and trying to get anything fixed or serviced on the car has been a big pain in the ars. I will fix it myself to keep my grandma safe because these people are too lazy to do anything!! Thanks, Nathan Foley

    This is a bit late this happened in 2025, but I needed time to assess what was going on with the…read morecars. This is more detail for my Dec 22nd, 2025 review. I have 2 cars both were being serviced at Leon's and for regular service I liked them, good customer experience up front. However, I took my 95 Toyota Land Cruiser in with 2 issues a suspected fuel leak (we could smell fuel in the garage when you opened the door) and it was running rough, more so when it was cold. Leon's looked at these problems and said they could not find either one. About the same time I took my 2001 Subaru Outback to them about an overheating problem and the guy from the shop came back with a big list of repairs to fix the problem even though I told him this car was a car I was not going to pay lots of money to repair. So with no solution for either car I looked for and found a shop in Arcata. The Land Cruiser went in first. On the first day he dropped the fuel tank and found that the line to the emergency break had worn a hole in the top of the fuel tank and it was leaking. He fixed it and looked for the other problem, it took him a bit longer but not much and he found the number 5 spark plug cable was periodically arcing to the exhaust pipes. So here is the significance of that, Leon's let me drive the car out of there shop with an active fuel leek and an active ignition source should the fuel get close to it. I was not pleased. Then I took the Subaru to the same shop in Arcata and in less than a day he said he found the connector to one of the fans that go on when the radiator gets too hot was not securely connected. Infer what you want from this but one thing is for sure Leon's should have caught the loose connector. Both cars now seem to be running just fine. So why did I not rate them a 1? Well initially I rated them much higher. When I came here for oil changes and tuneups the customer service at the front desk was great and this is where most auto repair shops drop the ball. I assumed that the work in the back followed the same pattern, but this turned out to be a bad assumption. So they could be good for regular maintenance, but I would not go there for anything tricky.

    Worst customer service I have ever received. Left an appointment disrespected and frustrated…read more I like to say good things whenever possible, so first the good: Scheduling appointment was great. I immediately put the appointment into my phone with alerts, but when I showed up, they had me down for the following week. Honestly, I have a reputation for being in the right place, early, like I was that day. Maybe it was my rare mistake, maybe it was theirs, or maybe just a simple miscommunication - fine, moving on - wasn't upset about it, demanding, or anything. The good part was that the owner checked with the foreman who said they could squeeze me in. Very nice, unexpected, and I thanked her. Then things went off the rails. She said no time for an oil change, which I was fine with. However, I said my coolant was a little over-filled and power steering fluid was low. She got snippy with me in a bad way saying she was already squeezing me in. I wasn't demanding anything, and it was a 5 minute job. If she had politely explained that it wouldn't be possible today, I would have accepted it, no problem. I said "sorry, it was just a question." She snatched the paperwork away, grinned at me in a angry way and asked if I wanted to leave. How incredibly over the top and insulting. She added, "because you seem unhappy." I said "you seem unhappy. It was a simple request. Not a demand." She was clearly angry and reiterated that she was doing me a huge favor already (although I think the scheduling issue was on them). Her tone and actions were way, way out of line and totally unacceptable, especially considering how minor the request was. So I calmly said, "This is unfair treatment and unprofessional" and left, which I think was pretty fair. I called to speak to the manager, which I think I have only done once before in my entire life. She answered and passive aggressively said, "sorry, I'm the owner. Leon was my dad." She made no effort to make it right. And she was edgy from the very start too. The whole interaction was so unprofessional, hostile, and I'm shocked by it. Probably the absolute worst business interaction of my entire life. I have never written a negative review before, but this is well-deserved. Do not go to Leon's.
