Konkin Auto Group specializes in Rebuilt (Branded) title vehicles. These are vehicles that are damaged to the point of insurance salvage and then repaired to rebuilt status and safe to drive. I believe most if not all of their vehicles are restored to where they don't look damaged at all. The truck I bought looks perfect! Pricing is considerably lower than retail values. In my case, I purchased a 2021 Ranger XLT that was restored to near perfection at about 23% below retail and that price also included a robust Warranty Plan. After purchasing the Ranger, I took it to Courtesy Ford and they could not tell it was ever damaged! The inspection resulted in perfect status. The only non-issue is that the new bumper it has is not parking sensor capable which this model has as standard. No fault of Konkin and no issue for me. The backup display handles this safety alert just fine. The sales experience with Tim was very personable and easy. I am retired and have purchased many vehicles over the years. This purchase is in the top for being a great experience. Very happy with Konkin Auto Group! I highly recommend Konkin Group for an honest, fair buying experience! read more

Rod and company were great to work with from start to finish. They were extremely upfront about the vehicle, I wanted a 2023 Ford transit 350. They provided all the information I asked for they made the buying process stress-free. I felt very comfortable walking away with a slightly used vehicle in great condition. I also got a great price on it. Thanks, Rod! I would recommend anyone in the used car market to check it out. Go test drive some of their vehicles. read more

Alex and his team were able to get me in last minute to diagnose a weird sound coming from my car. They also noted a few other small things that could be repaired later. They were able to repair what was wrong, balance my tires and finish the alignment in the same day. I'm always hesitant when trying a new mechanic, but I felt pretty good with my experience here at Konkin. I'll be back if I ever need anything else. read more

Highly recommend, good people who will work with you to get the best deal. Found this place on google and most people are saying good things. (Even their service center is great) read more

Very happy with Konkin and the whole team! They are honest, reliable, and authentic. They kept our family's needs for a vehicle at the focus of everything. Absolutely above and beyond any car experience! I had previously only gone to big name dealerships. My Husband had met Rod several years back and we are so thankful for him. Konkin's incredible follow up and follow through to help us find the right vehicle for our growing family has been absolutely beyond any dealership we've gone to. You can tell that Rod truly loves what he does and his amazing team reflects these same values! Of valuing the relationship with people and listening to their needs for a vehicle. You can be straight up with Rod and his team which is so appreciated! We sold our smaller car with Konkin and purchased two vehicles. Have also taken our truck and cars to be serviced here as well! Very happy with our experience! read more

I am so frustrated with this company. Set up an appointment to see a truck and drive 30 minutes to boot. They even send a text before hand to make sure we are coming. We are 2 minutes from konkin when they call and say the truck isn't here, can you come back in 2 hours????? Are you kidding me!!!! He called 9 minutes before our appointment. read more

I have purchased my first 4Runner here and bring all my vehicles for service here after such a pleasant sales experience!!! Thank you Konkin Auto for taking care of all my car sales and repair needs ! read more

Had a great experience purchasing a vehicle here. Tim made the process quick and painless. I got a rebuilt 2017 Miata RF Grand Touring with 10k miles out the door for about $24k. No hidden fees, Konkin was very straightforward and honest with everything (I asked a lot of questions) and provided the Carfax and pictures of the car pre-rebuild. I got the car inspected by Orion at The Car Friend who I also highly recommend - the vehicle passed inspection and has been driving great. 10/10 could not have asked for a better car buying experience. read more

Konkin Auto Group - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Portland, Oregon

We were looking for a good used car for our 16 year old. Since he is a new driver, we wanted something newer with lots of safety features. We narrowed it down to two vehicles, and Konkin had one of them, a 2021 Nissan Kicks. While it had a rebuilt title, that did not scare me as I have bought them before. As long as the damage is fixed correctly, it should be good as new. Driving it showed me the damage was fixed correctly. They showed me pictures of what was fixed. There was no pressure to buy and no haggling. They even took our personal check. Our son loves his new car, and we feel confident in his safety. We are very happy with our experience with Konkin and will buy from them again should they have what we need. I do not think that you can go wrong buying from Konkin. read more

DO NOT trust nor do business with this company. I knew I was buying a salvage vehicle and understood the inherent risks that go with buying one. But, I had an independent mechanic conduct a pre-purchase inspection and also purchased a five year extended warranty. The mechanic found no major issues, so I felt comfortable buying it. I made the trip from Chico California to Portland by Amtrak (14 plus hours) so that I could see and drive it for myself. Unfortunately, in the 20-25 minutes it took the Uber driver to go from Amtrak to their office, upon walking into the lot saw a major dent on the driver side door. The salesperson stayed a parking lot attendant had hit the vehicle causing significant damage to the door and panel to the right of the door. I would have had a body shop give an estimate but it was after 5 pm on a Friday (March 24, 2023) by the time I got to the dealership and the salesperson assured me there was no structural damage. There was no reasonable way to stay Friday, Sat and Sunday to get a quote(s) from at least one or two body shops that Monday. The owner indicated it would only cost them $1000 to fix it and they'd ship it to me. Not wanting to trust their work I requested they agree to pay the cost based on at least three quotes in Chico. They said no and settled on only covering me for $2500. I should've known better but was exhausted and didn't want to take a train back. It was exceedingly bad decision to acquiesce and am now stuck with this problem. I got completely ripped off because the damage to the vehicle that they did, supposedly in the 20 minute ride from Amtrak. For all I know is the damage happened days before I left Chico and they knew if I got there after traveling such a long distance I'd be less likely to walk away. Now I'm looking at least spending another $6000 to repair the damage because of structural damage to the driver side door post, having to replace the driver side door with a new down, and damage further down. I would never recommend this company as they clearly knew this vehicle had more substantial damage than what they indicated. Making it more skeevy was the salesperson telling me they would be fixing it in house & would only cost the owner $1000 to make the repairs. In retrospect, it tells me they're either ignorant, incompetent or outright deceptive. Let my crappy decision serve as a warning that you will likely get ripped off. Do not use this company because the salespeople and owner are unscrupulous. If I could give less than a one star I would. read more

On March 30, 2023, I wrote a very unfavorable review about Konkin Auto. I am happy to report that Rod (owner of Konkin Auto) called me immediately and offered three options for me to choose from, of which I agreed to return the vehicle. He paid for the vehicle to be picked up by a hauler and had it transported to his lot. Throughout the entire discussion Rod was amazing. Despite what I wrote (which I can not delete but would given the amazing customer service), I would buy from him again without hesitation. I know this was a major loss for Rod and appreciate his willingness to make the situation right. He has my loyalty and am happy to give him a very good review. read more

"As Good as it Gets" is the Yelp 5-Star Rating and Rod Konkin earned that when he sold a 2017 Ford Explorer to me. From start to end in the buying process, Rod did everything he promised to do without being pushy or arrogant. Even after the sale, Rod had me bring the car back for a minor repair on this "as is" vehicle. Now that is service!! "As good as it gets"? BETTER! Every review about Konkin is a 5-Star and, yes, Rod made me a believer. I rarely write reviews but Mr. Konkin earned my business and respect. As others have said, "very personable" and made the process smooth and simple. I am recommending Konkin to anyone who is looking for a car and I can't say enough good things about Rod. Don't judge the outside of his building . . . he is 2 years into his start-up business and he is doing it right without spending a lot of money on outside appearances. To Rod: Someday, I know you will have the building you are dreaming about if you keep up with the great customer sales and service that you demonstrated to me. Thank you. read more

BAIT & SWITCH!!! I found a vehicle I was interest in online priced at $11,911 using Autotrader and also on the Konkin website. I submitted a TrueCar request and received an offer back for $200 less. I called Konkin and talked to Dennis who answered some questions and quoted me a price to ship the vehicle to NV. Dennis suggested I place a deposit on the car to hold it for a few days while I scheduled a local mechanic to do an inspection prior to having the vehicle shipped. I placed a $300 deposit and my credit card was charged. About 30 min later, I received a call from Dennis informing me that the owner didn't realize what mode the car was and the price would now be $18,000! I've worked in retail for 22 years and this is an illegal business practice. I asked Dennis if they'd a least meet me halfway on the price this this was their error and I'd already reserved the car at the advertised price. I was told no, and then offered to have my deposit refunded. They also informed me there would be a transaction fee at the time of my deposit, however they didn't refund the fee when they credited back the deposit so I actually lost money in this shady transaction. Be extremely careful dealing with this company. read more

I made an formal written cash offer offer less than 10% below asking price on a totaled car with a rebuilt title and had to wait three days for a "no" with no counter. Drove 300 miles round trip to view the car. Unresponsive and unprofessional. read more

Look no further! Exceptional service, knowledgeable employees and overall five-star experience. Rod and his team were quick to respond and assist. For a first time car-buyer, I expected the process to be long and bureaucratic, but this was anything but that! They make it easy, fun and a pleasant experience. We can be certain we will be purchasing our next vehicle here. Thank you for my spectacular new car and the high quality service that came with! read more

Had very pleasant experience with Konkin, Mark helped me find the right vehicle for my son and never made me feel any pressure about purchasing. Very upfront about price, warranties and financing. Mark was great to work with and everyone I encountered was friendly and accommodating. Overall great experience! Would not hesitate to purchase from again. read more

Just checked out the Konkin dealership, had a very pleasant experience working with Rod, he was very professional and nice! Not something easy to find when shopping for a used car, I would recommend Rod to anyone looking for a good car buying experience. Thank you Rod! read more

This place is very friendly! Mark was very professional and treated us like regular people. I recommend buying a car from this place! He was very helpful and showed us everything we asked about and answered all of our questions! Will definitely be back for our next purchase read more

Made the van buying experience very easy. Honest guys, gave us lots of space to check out the van in peace. Highly recommend.

Dennis assisted us from start to finish and was very helpful and easygoing throughout. Buying our vehicle here was completely painless. We had a mechanic come out to inspect before we bought, as these are salvaged vehicles. A few (very) minor issues but we were otherwise shocked to learn the vehicle was in great shape considering it had been totaled not long ago. We were bummed no one was wearing a mask during a pandemic, but we conducted business outside. Overall a very good experience and recommended. read more

I purchased my used 2013 Mazda 3 with Rod Konkin's help and couldn't be happier. I found the vehicle originally online via a different website and after calling him, he confirmed that he did indeed have it on his lot and I could see it that day. When I arrived at the dealership, the Mazda was parked in the front ready and waiting for a test drive. Rod was straight-forward, going over any wear-and-tear to the vehicle first, then he ran over the highlights of the car and I was already sold. Rod was very personable, easy going, and most importantly honest. Rod made some great suggestions regarding financing, and kept the process simple. I would most definitely suggest him to family and friends in a heartbeat. read more

Konkin Auto Group - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Great dealer for used cars. Dennis was low key but very efficient and attentive. We were aware that the car we were looking at was rebuilt, but the buying experience was top notch. No pressure; no games. Very cooperative in allowing my chosen inspector to their facility to inspect prior to sale. Everything went as smoothly as I could have hoped for. Far better than I expected. Would highly recommend for someone willing to accept the risk of buying a rebuilt vehicle. read more

Dishonest dealership ,Waste of time. I drove from Kent, WA on Tuesday to look at 2018 Kia Soul price advertised $8500 for rebuilt title on Auto trader. Called the dealership few times, talked with Larry and Rod on Monday for scheduling a test drive around 10:30 on Tuesday When I reached the dealership , price got changed to $10,295. Left very disappointed , will not do any business with Konkin Auto Group. Zero stars. Avoid this dealer and save your time and extra stress. Rating for the dealership online seems fake. When I told Larry that it was listed for $8500 , he didn't clearly let me know, that he'll honor the advertised price. He told me that he would lower it from $10,295 to $10,000. Nothing confusing there. Stop lying and stop wasting people's time. read more

I've bought about 10 cars over my lifetime, and I have to say that this was one of the best, hassle free experiences ever! I sent in an email to set up an appointment, and Dennis was prompt in responding. They had the car sitting out front ready for my inspection. Dennis provided all of the clear pictures and carfax history as well as maintenance done at the dealer for the vehicle. Took it for the test drive with no issues and tested everything. Was able to give my son a very happy birthday present! Keep doing business the way you are, and you will do well. They're definitely not the typical shady used car dealer. Open, honest and fair deals. read more

We recently purchased a 2014 F-350 from Rod and it has been everything it was advertised to be and a great price! Rod met us on a Sunday on very short notice, we called around 10 and he met us around 2 that same day. He was extremely personable, easy to deal with and made the whole process very smooth and simple. I would definitely recommend Rod and Konkin Auto Group to anyone that is car shopping. We are extremely happy with our purchase! read more

My Daughter and I purchased a Subaru Tribeca from Konkin Auto Group. She is new to the area and attending school in Portland. Absolutely everyone we encountered at the dealership was attentive, considerate and zero pressure to sell someone a vehicle they were not comfortable with. We had the opportunity to listen to other customers ask questions and to listen to the responses. Very professional and honest responses. While waiting for the transaction to finalize we had engine problems with my friends car we had borrowed while staying in the area. Not knowing the area, I called Rod and explained the situation to him. He arranged a tow truck company to pick up our borrowed car and to have it towed to his shop at our request. His mechanic diagnosed the problem, ordered the part and performed the repair. During the entire situation, everyone who answered the phone assured us we were in good hands and that Rod would take care of us. (Including the mechanic) He certainly did. I can honestly say I have never been treated so fairly at a dealership and the entire group seemed engaged in the effort to fix our problem. As far as the Trebeca was concerned, we could not be happier with our purchase. Clean vehicle with solid engine that is everything advertised. Rod told me as I was leaving to go back home not to worry, anything car related my daughter would need help with, she could call his group and the would make sure her car needs would be handled well by his group... Three months later that has proven true. Very family oriented and no pressure sales! Would happily purchase again. read more

BAD EXPERIENCE, Suggest NOT dealing with this place. This is a " NO STAR" rating. We bought vehicle they said was in excellent shape, and when we got it to the dealership, we realized it had been neglected for quite some time. We purchased a 2015 Honda CRV-EX-L for my daughter on 24 March 2021. During this visit, my family was present, and the owner was there as well. None of them were wearing masks while in very close proximity as we completed our transaction in a very small office space. The owner, seemed upset, ad spoke in a very loud voice, making my kids and wife feel very uncomfortable. They were about to walk out on him. The next day, Dennis calls me and asks why I gave them one star rating, so I began explaining my opinion that I had to spend an additional $ 607.25 on this vehicle right after I purchased it to "catch up" its routine maintenance. To misrepresent maintenance completed on the vehicle, the owner went as far as putting a fake oil change sticker in the windshield which misrepresented the care of this vehicle maintenance plan. The owner was upset that I gave him a bad review, he told me to bring the car back and he would buy it back, I told him first of all, inconveniencing my family is not how this works, and if he had been honest up front, we wouldn't be having this conversation. He got so upset at me on the phone, I had to hang up. Later he called, and left an apology on my voice mail. I asked him to at least pay for the $ 607.25 service we did, he laughed and told me NO. If I had NOT believed them and took it to a mechanic and learned this vehicle actual condition, we would NOT have purchased this car at all. Fake records to make a sale, don't trust them, I shouldn't have. Anything to make a sale, right? read more

Just bought a beautiful SUV from Rod. He's a great guy and answered all our questions honestly. He made the entire process extremely smooth and easy, not like any other dealship I've worked with. I will always come back here for my car needs and refer him to friends and family. read more

I have known Rod personally and professionally for over 5 years now. He is absolutely one of the nicest, most honest, most principled people I have ever known. So when my wife and I were in the market for a new car, there was nowhere else that I even considered going. We let Rod know what we were looking for and he diligently searched until he found the perfect car. It's a huge blessing for us to have a car that we know will be reliable for years to come. And it's incredibly comforting to know that even if the car fails, the dealer is even more reliable and will always, always do the right thing. If you are looking for a car, this is absolutely the first place you should look. read more
