2015 GMC Acadia 55,000 miles.

I just bought my 3rd vehicle from them, and this was the worst experience we have had here. On our other 2 cars we never had a issue which is why we went back again a few weeks ago. We took for a test drive and nothing was wrong. We signed all the papers and so far so good. We had the car running to transfer over car seats and everything as we pull out of the parking lot the car starts to shake. We didn't even get down to stapley before the car just wouldn't go anymore. So we turned around and told them the issue and he said we would have to wait until Monday but it was safe to drive. We took it home with SO MANY ISSUES. We were unable to go anywhere the rest of the weekend. I called them first thing Monday and they came a towed it back. When they picked up I was told I would hear from someone early after noon. By 3 pm still nothing so I called and tried to speak with the office manager named Mark. For 3 hours I tried to get a hold of someone and still to this day never heard a call back from Mark. Tuesday morning I called and they said the transmission needed to be replaced. And I was told they don't do a full vehicle exception they only check basic so that's why they sold me a car with a bad transmission. I was out of a. At for a week and didn't get it back until the following Friday afternoon. I had to find a way to work the whole week because they don't give rentals and they wouldn't eat me have my trade in car back until it was fixed. Rick (the Mechanic guy) was really nice but I had to reach out to him every time to get a update about my car. I don't think we will be going back due to this. I have 3 kids and can't risk being out a car for a week again after buying something "new to me" Had the car for a few days and no issues so far and just hoping it stays that way!

Junk everything needs bodywork and has been involved in major collisions check your car fax

Worst used car dealership in Mesa all they sell is auto auction junk highly recommend you avoid this place at all cost this way you don't have to deal with Matt Mark or Rick Or the owner Dale huish

I went in with my 18 year old daughter who was looking to get a car. She was working part-time but…read morewas recently hired on full-time with another company so she felt this was a good time to get a vehicle. I agreed to cosign for her even though I had another loan because I knew she would be responsible enough to pay her own car payment. I asked if the payment schedule could be made to my pay dates since I was working full-time but I was told that it could not be made to any pay schedule other than my daughters however once she did switch her job to the full-time job she would be able to contact the finance company and change your payment car payment schedule. My daughter made her first payment and when asking about switching dates the representative for CSA very rudely let her know she got a bad salesperson who lied to her and also told her the payment schedule could not be changed for 6 months. I just felt this goes beyond a bad salesperson because I was present for these questions and not only did two salesman give me this info directly but also the finance manager as well. My daughter got her car but to what expense because now she must figure out how to schedule payments a week early as do I being the co-signer. People who go here are already needing assistance or they would've gone to a bigger dealer, but outright lying is just poor customer service. Sales does not have to equal manipulation and lies. Thank you

Predatory lending and abysmal customer service, all in a neat little Rock Solid wrapper…read more I do understand that they "help" people in bad situations to get a vehicle, and for that, I can applaud them... but with interest rates higher than a credit card, I see this as more "taking advantage" of someone vs "helping" them. And customer service is absent. Be prepared for frustration, and to wait... who knows, you may even get some ridiculous excuses that may make you smile. The day you have your GPS tracker removed, starts a new chapter in your life. Rock on, homie

I had a horrible experience with Speedy Cash I got a loan…read moreof $300. in September 1st 20019 On my first payment on August 1 I go to the Speedy Cash store to make my first payment and here I'm finding out that my account was frozen and they couldn't get into my account in the SYSTEM and to my understanding they say that I was late making my payment!!!!! REALLY !!!!!!! I said how do you consider it being late when August was my first payment and I just got the loan in September, I spoke with the corporate and the said that they were suing me for being late.... so every time I made my payment of $ 55 For August , and September, I had so many issues making the payment because my account was frozen, on October 1 just today I tried paying the whole balance off and I'm still I'm having a hard time with them to take my payment, so I had to wait the next day for the store to call the main office to except my payment, because that's the only way they can accept my payment.. So I just ended up paying the whole balance off with the Speedy Cash Loan Company and with them trying to falsely sue me with no actual cause... I just want to aware people be very careful when getting loans with Speedy Cash Loans , or any other loan places, so far Alliied Cash Loan , I have not had any issues with them...... I will not trust Speedy Cash anywhere at all especially the main corporate office... Good Luck If you do !!!!!

The exact opposite of the reputation used car salesman have. Honest, showed me what was available…read morein my price range without any pressure or upsell. He spent time talking about the advantages of each car and the next day I drove out with the perfect car! Btw... The movie Used Cars, with Kurt Russell, was filmed in Mesa in 1980. Goldie's is sooooo much the opposite. :-)

After a major accident that totaled my car, I found myself back on the market for my next vehicle…read morepurchase. I was very leary of purchasing pre-owned as I have heard so many horror car buying stories of shady salesman, selling faulty vehicles and lacking clarity about the true vehicle condition, so I started my research. It took me close to a month of research, before I found a preowned dealership that still honored integrity. I knew the cars I was interested in and found my way to Goldie's. I was working with another dealership, as I had been pre-approved, but let me tell you what made the difference.. the service at Goldie's ! Through text and email, John, my sales-friend, (I call him) was so relatable and communicative. Walking in I have to admit is pretty cool, in the show room they had a old school IMMACULATE Corvette, a skew ball machine, and arcade games it felt unlike any other dealership I had walked in. The owners son greeted me and asked if I needed anything and to let him know if I did! He was the sweetest teenager. When they say Goldie's is a family business they really mean it ! I was working with John and let me tell you he was so transparent and honest it was like a breath of fresh air. I had considered other vehicles they had but he talked me through the maintenance cost, resale value and common mechanical issues each of the cars I had considered. Once I settled on a vehicle he was able to check for me the maintenance records as well as reviewed the carfax report with me. When I took the car for a test drive he told me to take my time get to know the car and make sure it was right for me. I never felt pressured to purchase. I was having a horrible time in dealing with the insurance payout of my previous vehicle and John was very empathetic in understanding my situation. He had set expectations before I came that with the insurance payout being delayed I may not be able to take the vehicle the vehicle home. I was thrilled with the no pressure atmosphere, and just came to take a look at the vehicle in person, with zero expectation to buy. John and his manager worked magic. I did in fact decide to purchase my vehicle and was able to take it home, there is a small cosmetic issue that I requested to have repaired and he called immediately and got the approval to get it taken care of. I'll be returning later this week to have that completed. I'll keep you guys posted after the service appointment. I had a great experience and I feel I got a good deal on my vehicle and, I felt like my business was valued, my concerns were heard and they've made a lifelong customer out of me ! Special thanks to Goldie's and super special thanks to John!
