Stay away from these people. We went to go see a car and they wanted twice the amount of what the value of the car is.

Awesome service, good people and car was what I expected per facebook. You cant expect a brand new…read morecar for $3k but my car runs great and I got what I was looking for.

I would give this dealership a zero‑star rating. Based on my experience and what I've seen in other…read morereviews, they knowingly sell vehicles with undisclosed issues. The staff at this dealership repeatedly misrepresented the condition of the car I purchased. It appears they cleared diagnostic codes and performed partial, cosmetic fixes to make the vehicle look presentable without disclosing any of the underlying problems. They were not transparent about the vehicle's history or the work done on it, and they showed no concern for the safety implications for me or my family. I recently purchased a 2011 Ford Escape from them. During the test drive, I was only drove around local roads and not on the highway (I take responsibility for this action). The vehicle seemed fine at the time, but the issues that surfaced afterward make it clear that the dealer withheld critical information. After purchasing it, I received 9 vehicle codes. Combined it was the check Engine, ABS, and Emissions. ABS Pump Motor Control TCS Control Channel A Valve2 - Internal Electronic Failure Longitude Acceleration Sensor - Wrong Mounting Position Invalid Data Received from ECM, PCM A - Event Information Right Front Wheel Speed Sensor - General Electrical Failure Control Module - Internal Electronic Failure Left Front Wheel Speed Sensor - General Electrical Failure Right rear wheel speed sensor - General Electrical Failure TCS Control Chennel B Valve 2 - Internal Electronic Failure The back tires had metal showing on them as well Please stay away from this dealer if you want to be safe while driving

I went all over looking for a car. I had an old Honda trade in. They gave me great value for my…read moretrade in and a low monthly finance. Definitely worked with my current funds! Jim was the sales person I worked with and I recommend him to anyone. He isn't here just for money he actually seeks to find a decent car for a decent price for anyone! When you come here as for Jim! He will do you right

My husband and I drove by this lot a few nights ago. We saw a vehicle we were interested in getting…read moresome information on, specifically a Toyota Celica. I called to inquire about the vehicle and after simply speaking with a 'sales' representative and subsequently the owner, Larry, I would NEVER purchase a vehicle or step foot on their lot. This company absolutely refuses to give any information on a vehicle over the phone. According to Larry, they are in the business of selling cars so they do not provide anything on the phone. Hmmm, shut up! Do you think I was calling a hamburger joint because I was interested in buying a car?! I called because I just wanted BASIC information to see if the vehicle fit my needs. Example, is it a manual or automatic transmission? I can't drive a manual because of physical limitations. Does the AC and heat work? Is it a clean title or salvaged? You know, simple stuff. Due to medical issues, I can't really go out and sit at a dealership for any length of time. Even more of an issue, I cannot subject my body to the elements of cold weather temps currently at 48°. So Larry, despite the fact that, according to you, you're in business to sell cars, obviously you really didn't want to sell me a car. You really wouldn't have had to try to use hard core, used dealer antics because, I love Celicas. It would have been the easiest 'sale' you ever made. Guess your business is so lucrative that you really don't need to sell a car. I don't love Celicas enough to deal with unfriendly customer service from the get-go. I can only imagine what your service is like post purchase! Thanks, but no thanks. I'll pass!

My 06 Jeep was rear-ended back in September. The resulting damage was not completely apparent…read moreexcept for some body damage and a broken wench. AJ and his team did a thorough inspection and determined the frame was twisted and needed to be straightened. Not only did they do the body and framework. But they went out of their way to make sure every issue was handled correctly. With the Jeep being a 2006 Wrangler, getting parts is not easy and it took some time for the repairs to be completed. But I was satisfied with the results. I would highly recommend them.

I was interested in a Viking pop-up camper they had listed for around $8,000 and advertised as…read morebeing in "LIKE NEW" condition. I drove roughly two hours to see it. When I arrived, the radio didn't work, the battery was dead, part of the roof latch was missing, and the pop-up section had clearly been repaired. In my opinion, that is nowhere near "like new." I spoke with their salesperson, Manny, and he asked for a deposit. I told him clearly that I would purchase the camper for cash once the agreed-upon repairs were completed. I was not comfortable putting money down on a camper that still had unresolved issues. Over the next two days, Manny and I stayed in communication while I was told the camper was being fixed. We agreed on an $8,000 price provided the roof was sealed and the other issues were addressed. On the morning I was supposed to pick it up, Manny called me around 8:00 AM asking if I was still coming. I told him yes and that I would be there shortly. When I arrived, Manny was expecting me. As we drove toward the camper, he specifically asked his manager whether the roof had been sealed. The manager said yes. It had not been sealed. The battery was still dead. The new radio had not been installed. The repairs we had discussed were still unfinished. Then, while I was standing there Alsing what was going on with the non resolved repairs and expecting to complete the purchase, the manager informed me that the camper had been sold to someone else that morning. His response was essentially: "Did you put down a deposit?" No, I did not -- because their salesperson and I had an ongoing written conversation stating that I would purchase it once the agreed repairs were completed. I have the text messages documenting the entire situation, including messages from Manny indicating that the manager sold the camper despite the arrangement we had been working under. I understand that without a deposit they may have technically been free to sell it. That is NOT the issue. The issue is that their salesperson called me that very morning to confirm I was coming to purchase it, allowed me to drive there, and nobody bothered to tell me it had already been sold. On top of that, the repairs I was repeatedly told were being completed had still not been done. Afterward, I spoke with the owner, Josh, hoping he would at least acknowledge how poorly the situation was handled. Instead, the conversation repeatedly came back to the fact that I had not placed a deposit, while largely ignoring the communication from his own salesperson and the amount of time I wasted traveling there based on what I had been told. Between both trips, I spent roughly eight hours driving because I relied on what their staff communicated to me. People can decide for themselves whether they want to do business with a company that operates this way. My advice: get absolutely everything in writing, verify that promised repairs have actually been completed before making the trip, and do not assume a verbal or text agreement with their salesperson will be honored by management. I certainly will not be doing business here again. And yes, I raised my voice and used bad words with them after the fact. And I'm not sorry. And to be fair, Manny is not at fault. He just has terrible managers. And also, they blocked me on their social media... this goes to show you who they really are! Beware!!
