I spoke with Willy and Talal Al-Sharif on the phone today. On 4/20/2023 I bought a 2010 Toyota…read morePrius from Talal I was assured had no problems by him. Before purchasing I noticed water in the glove compartment and asked Talal about it. He said it was cleaner from having the car detailed (the car has not been detailed) and an employee of his stuck his fingers in the water smelled them and said "lemon" Talal did the same and said "yes it's lemon". On the way off the lot I found a bad connection with the rear window controls in the driver seat, Talal looked at it and showed they worked from the back, and to call him Saturday to order the part. After an hour drive back to Akron I discovered that Talal's employee had slashed and scratched the window tint in both of the back windows attempting to remove adhesive after I purchased the vehicle likely with a razor blade. Last night at around 7:30 I was driving and noticed the check engine light had come on, after further inspecting the vehicle I noticed RAIN WATER WAS LEAKING IN THROUGH A PART OF THE UPHOLSTERY ON THE ROOF CONNECTING TO THE PASSENGER DOOR INTO THE AC VENT AND FILLING THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT! After calling this morning I spoke with Willy who told me he'd have Talal call me when he got in as he was the car owner. Talal called back promptly and after explaining the problems I've been having with the car he told me that I needed to bring it in Friday as that would be when he could have it worked on, adding "it's no problem". Talal told me he's been here 30 years from doing honest business when selling me the car. May update review at a later date.

Carol Stickel at Yalcars is AMAZING! I just bought a beautiful silver 2019 Nissan Versa from her,…read moreand I couldn't be happier. In fact, Carol made this purchase the best car buying experience of my life! (And I'm 56 years old - I've done my fair share of car buys.) From the first contact where she promptly responded to my message asking if the car was still available until she handed me the key, Carol was respectful, helpful, and knowledgeable. She was also compassionate about my situation, and I was in a bad situation. On Saturday, July 13th at 5:30 in the morning, a deer leaped from the far side embankment into the driver's side hood of my 2017 Nissan Versa. It was devastating, and since it was painfully obvious my car might be totaled, I began to look for a replacement right away. There was time pressure, because as soon as the car was declared a total loss, the insurance company would give me only five days to find a replacement before they stopped paying for the rental car. I didn't think that would be enough time. However, thanks to Carol, and her amazing efficiency, I was able to get into my new car in record time. I returned the rental car TWO DAYS EARLY, and I didn't have to pay for a single day of the rental out of my own pocket. (side note: Carol also gave me excellent advice about rental car return policies!) I live over a hundred miles from Youngstown, so Carol arranged a video call for me to see the car. I was able to get a really good idea of the car's condition. Additionally, Carol even pointed out to me a crack in the windshield which I hadn't noticed in the photos online (this was my error - it had been well-documented). She offered to roll the repair into the cost of the car, and she got an excellent dealer price for the new windshield and installation as well as getting it done the next day so it wouldn't push back pick-up time. Of course, I was also shopping at other places at the same time, including Carvana, and Carol got me a much better deal on the car I wanted than any other place offered me. She also found me financing with a lower interest rate than Carvana offered! In fact, if I hadn't been able to drive out to pick it up, Carol could have shipped the car to me just like Carvana would have. End of the story: on Saturday the 20th of July, just one week after my previous car was totaled, I arrived at Yalcars to pick up my new car, it was in exactly the condition that Carol had presented it to be. I could not be happier with Carol, and I love the car she sold me!

Best Auto Shop Experience I've Ever Had - Truly Like Family…read more I don't usually write long reviews, but this experience absolutely deserves it. I started calling around because my brakes were squeaking, just doing price checks like anyone would. RT Barrett Auto Sales was only the second place I called but something about his spirit over the phone made me stop right there. I didn't even feel the need to keep calling other places. That alone says a lot. When I arrived, I was greeted by Ron and his wife, and from that moment on, the energy was nothing but warm, welcoming, and genuine. They were both incredibly kind, and you can just tell they truly love what they do. The shop itself? CLEAN, organized, and comfortable. Not your typical auto shop at all. They had a TV set up, asked what me and my son wanted to watch (my son is autistic, so that meant a lot), and we ended up enjoying SpongeBob and Madagascar together. They also had a fridge stocked with drinks, name-brand snacks like Lays chips, pretzels, and even a big jar of candy. It honestly felt more like a welcoming space than a waiting room. Now let's talk about the service... Ron and the other mechanic (I wish I remembered his name!) were AMAZING. What stood out to me the most is that they didn't just fix my car. They educated me. Ron took his time explaining everything about my brakes, fluids, and how my car operates in a way I've never experienced before. It was so detailed and clear, almost like a class. If he ever offered one, I would sign up immediately! I also really appreciated his honesty. He was straightforward in the best way respectful, but real. I'm someone who values constructive feedback, and he delivered it in a way that made me feel informed, not judged. What's crazy is just days before this, I was telling a friend how badly I wished I could find a mechanic I could trust. I've had a couple of cars since I was 21 and have been to plenty of shops but THIS place? This is the first time I truly felt comfortable. It honestly felt like home. Ron, his wife, and his team don't just provide a service they care. And that's rare. I grabbed extra business cards because I will be recommending them to everyone I know, especially women like me who may not know much about cars but deserve honesty, respect, and quality care. If they ever move locations, I will gladly drive to wherever they are--no question. To me, they are not just the best shop in Youngstown... they are the best, period. Thank you all so much. I truly can't put into words how much I appreciate you. You've gained a lifelong customer--and honestly, it feels like I gained a new family.

My reason for 1 star.. The check engine light came on shortly after we left the lot. There was also…read morean issue with the tire pressure system and the windshield wiper. They took the vehicle back in to fix it, which I was grateful for. I picked it up and halfway home, the engine light came back on and the tire pressure system warning light was back! I I am also not sure about the warranty as I haven't received paperwork yet and there is a rattle that I would love to have fixed considering it's going to take a tear down on the engine because a mechanic suggested it may be a timing issue...Ugh! Happy push your purchase home day. This time, they didn't fix the tire pressure system even though I was told they ordered the part and.were going to fix it. After they fixed the wiper, I drove home and it went out in the rain!!! I called again about the engine light being on again due to a cam sensor that they said was replaced. Then, I was told they didn't offer to fix the tire pressure system and now I should use the warranty that I have no information on to fix what they SAID they fixed. But wait!!! I was then told that they didn't have a regular mechanic and they just had someone who could put parts on. I kid you not!!!! How safe does that sound? Who knows what you're going to be driving (or pushing or towing) home?!!! Buying a used car can be one of two experiences. Unfortunately, mine is the horror story and not the cool " lets take a road trip" story. Dang guys, live and learn and be careful who you do business with!! Make sure somebody puts you in a safe vehicle. Ohio has great vehicle fraud laws, thank goodness!!! Thanks for reading my rant and hopefully you won't be one of the ones that"s pulled in by these guys!!
