I purchased a vehicle from Malone's Automotive. Jim Stevens was my sales rep. He was in constant communication with me and provided me with excellent service from the beginning of the purchase until the end. I would definitely recommend this dealership!

I recently purchased a vehicle from Marietta Auto Sales. While the sales representative, Detric &…read moreJimmy were very patient and throughout the buying process, there were several disappointing issues afterward. I was told I would receive a second key fob, but that promise has yet to be fulfilled. I also put $3,000 down on the vehicle, yet the dealership couldn't even provide a full tank of gas. I left the lot with the gas tank barely above "E." I was reassured they would take care of it later, but after calling multiple times to schedule an appointment, I've continued to get the runaround. As a side note, purchasing the warranty insurance did not feel worthwhile in my experience. You can cancel, don't be fooled. Overall, the customer service after the sale has been frustrating and disappointing.

One of the worst experiences I've ever had at a car dealership. My daughter saved up her own money…read moreto purchase a vehicle and found a 2023 Hyundai Tucson at Marietta Auto Sales. From the beginning, we were told the car had undergone a 10-point inspection and that a few dings on the side would be repaired. Within just a couple of weeks, multiple warning lights appeared--including low tire pressure, worn-out windshield wipers, low windshield washer fluid, an overdue service notice (-139 days), and a "check forward safety" light. I made four separate trips--each over an hour away from home--to have these issues addressed, and only a few were resolved. Today 3/6/2026, when I returned to have the safety light checked, I discovered the hood latch was completely missing. At that point, I was done. I spoke with the finance manager, Chris, to ask whether I could receive a refund or exchange the vehicle. He told me they do not do swaps, only trades. I selected another car priced exactly the same--smaller, even--and was then told it would be treated as a trade, costing an additional $3,000-$4,000. Absolutely unacceptable. The dealership took no accountability for selling us a faulty vehicle, and I am deeply disappointed and hurt by how we were treated. Their focus seems to be on profit, not customers. Please do not waste your time at this dealership. They know the situation is wrong, yet all they agreed to do was replace the hood latch. gave me a half tank of gas, washed the truck, and then told me to go to a Hyundai dealer for the safety light diagnosis--which would cost me another $200. They would not give me anything towards it. SMH Please note: This is NOT a one time incident. There were several dissatisfied customers there today. After further assessment, the vehicle was found to have impact damage which was not disclosed to us. My attorney has been contacted

My wife and I purchased a new 2026 Toyota Crown Signia Limited hybrid SUV and Finance & Insurance…read more("F&I") products from Marietta Toyota on July 4, 2026. Overall, I rate the car buying experience with Marietta Toyota good, not great. If you're interested in how our experience went, keep reading. This review is divided into 3 parts over 2 separate visits. *** VISIT 1 OF 2 ON JULY 3, 2026 *** Duration: Less than 2 hours Part 1 of 3: Test Drive with Sales Consultant Brianna "Bri" Walters We called and made an appointment to test drive a new 2026 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. The on-site call center associate, Rachel Eve, said they would try to find one for us to test drive. She was nice. When we showed up in person for our appointment, there was none for us to look at. We did look at a used 2023 Highlander and a new 2026 Grand Highlander, and decided they weren't for us. Marietta Toyota just happened to get a 2026 Crown Signia Limited in, so we test drove that instead. My wife liked it. Our sales consultant Bri was great throughout the entire process. She's been at Marietta Toyota for about 2.5 years. She was really nice, very professional, and not pushy. *** VISIT 2 OF 2 ON JULY 4, 2026 *** Duration: About 3.5 hours Part 2 of 3: Trade-in and Price Negotiation with Sales Manager Tyler Elliott We brought my wife's 2010 Toyota Corolla LE in for trade-in valuation and to get a final price from sales manager Tyler. Tyler is new to Marietta Toyota. He joined about three weeks ago and is from Alabama. Tyler had a more traditional, high-pressure sales approach. We get it - that's just how sales works. This was where the process was not transparent to us, the customers. It's a black box. Here's how the numbers broke down: * Sticker price: ~$57,500 (includes ~$2,000 in Marietta Toyota dealer add-ons) * Discount: ~$1,200 (2.1% off) - only available by financing through Toyota at 6.34% APR * Trade-in (2010 Corolla LE): started at $1,000, Tyler upped it to $1,500 * Net price after trade-in: ~$54,800 * Tax, tag, title, and other fees: ~$5,200 In order to receive a "discount," you can't be an all-cash buyer. One way dealerships make money is by getting customers to finance. You can make a minimum of three monthly payments and then pay off the car in full after that to get your "discount" and avoid paying extra interest. There was less wiggle room to negotiate on a Crown Signia because it's a rare vehicle compared to something like a Camry or RAV4. Part 3 of 3: Finance & Insurance with Finance Manager Christie Kerdahi Just when we thought we were done, we had to go into business manager Christie's office to discuss F&I products. She pitched us on three different contracts: a mechanical failure service contract, a prepaid maintenance plan, and a vehicle protection plan for the tires and wheels. These totaled almost $10,000. We had to decide on those contracts right then and there in her office. By that point, we were mentally worn out, felt backed into a corner, and just wanted to be done and out the door. We accepted because she said we could cancel any contract at any time and receive a prorated amount back. We are highly considering canceling. You could argue that a brand as reliable as Toyota doesn't need all this stuff. To be clear, this isn't a knock on Christie specifically - she was professional and just doing her job. This part was tough because of how the F&I process works industry-wide. The contract terms (e.g., time period/mileage, what's included/excluded) are structured in the dealership's favor. Again, they have to make money. The way the numbers are presented - every step of the way, not just F&I - along with F&I being the last step before you walk out with a new car, is part of a larger, deliberate sales strategy. *** ENDING NOTES *** Dealership sales and finance managers do these kinds of things all day, every day. A lot of customers only go through this a handful of times in their lives. So dealerships obviously have the advantage over the customers here. They get you right where they want you. While we weren't super prepared going in, we felt prepared enough - yet we were still blindsided and put on the spot multiple times throughout the process. It's easy to get hung up on technicalities and details, but they do matter. There was a lot of paperwork and not enough time to review everything thoroughly - similar to a home closing, where everything moves fast right at the end and you're signing before you've had a real chance to read it all. We happened to go on slow afternoons, so we were seen almost immediately by everyone. We were in and out about as fast as one could hope, so that was nice. We didn't want to spend a lot of time shopping around and haggling, so there was value to us in getting something we wanted fast. We're very happy with the car. We were lucky it had just rolled off the truck the day we test drove it. We like Bri and would work with her again.

Trash. Nice people but trash business ethics…read more I went to buy 2 suvs from them.one did work. I should have took that as a sign. I pickup a 2015 Range Rover yesterday. the test drive went fine and I gave it a good once over including a scan to see if the check engine light had been reset. from what I could see it was in decent condition for a used vehicle. on the drive home I felt a slight pull to one side. in the morning I took it to go get an alignment. the shop found that both front steering knuckles were cracked. I drove back home and after some digging I found that those parts were under a safety recall. the cracks will cause the wheels to collapse on to the frame. had they failed on the way home that could have been my life or others lifes. what makes this so petty is that car online could have gotten this done for free. they risked my life because of lack of just not wanting to make an appointment. this recall comes up under any vin check so they had to see it. I was one large pothole from a potential life threatening accident. That is a trash business ethic.

I would strongly recommend steering clear of this dealership. They tack on an excessive amount of…read moremark-up and try to squeeze as much money as possible out of you right from the start. One of the biggest issues is that they force you to pay for "Grand Care," which costs $3,262.41. The problem is you don't really know what that even includes -- they can describe it however they want, and you're basically expected to accept it without any clear breakdown. On top of that, their documentation fee is $999, which is extremely unreasonable. The average doc fee in Georgia normally ranges from about $599 to $699, so they're charging well above what's typical. Then when it comes to your trade-in, they go out of their way to undervalue your vehicle. They even use the excuse, "Well, since we're not a major dealership, we have to recoup somehow," as if that justifies shortchanging you. The warning signs were there from the start. When I walked in, I saw a woman who was visibly upset saying, "You all like to play mind games," before she declined to buy a car. I honestly should have taken that as a sign and left right then. The entire experience felt unprofessional, almost like doing business behind a fast-food restaurant instead of an actual dealership. Every time I said something, the salesman would disappear into the back, return with paperwork, and the information would be completely wrong. Once we finally agreed on a number, I thought the deal was set -- but even then, the actual numbers were off by a huge amount. To be fair, the salesman wasn't rude, but that still doesn't make up for how they operate. If you decide to go there, just know that even if you negotiate what seems like a decent deal, they will find a way to justify why you won't actually get the best price. By the time they add all their fees and mark-ups, you're already $4,000 to $6,000 in the hole before they even start processing the paperwork.

My plan originally was not to complain but the issues are too big to ignore. The car is definitely…read morenot what it looked like in the pictures I bought but then when I got home I paid attention that the driver side doors, front bumper, and rear bumper does not match the actual paint color. The rear pillar looks like it was cut off and replaced but the damage was so hard that they didn't fully repair it and left it uneven. Rear bumper has a wavy line where repair wasn't even properly hidden. Driver side doors do not hinge correctly and both quotes I have been given fall above 6k minimum for repairs. I did contact Paul from the dealership and I have not heard from them yet.

I wasn't blown away by the BMW, it was super clean and in great condition, it was just kind of bland looking to me. Cameron was really sweet though, he sat patiently in the backseat while my husband and I drove for quite a while trying to decide if we wanted it. Turns out that Cameron is quite the BMW expert, he knew things I didn't even know after owning 2 of them for years! After expertly parking the BMW I spotted the sportiest looking Jaguar across the lot. While we are not big Jag fans I was rather fond of this one. God bless 'em, this time Cameron had a front row seat to some spirited curve-hugging, redlining, female test driving! But he never complained or showed any fear :) Guess what??!! He's just as knowledgeable about the Brits as he is with the Germans! Unfortunately we had to purchase elsewhere, even though the selection is fantastic here (and the cars super clean and in great shape) they just didn't have what I was looking for. My husband, however, is planning to upgrade his ride in the next few months so I have no doubt we'll start our search here. **Particularly since there is no haggling, no pressure and none of the badgering that is all too common at other car lots by many, many other salespeople** Clean, nice cars and wide selection. Good prices. Awesome sales dept, knowledgeable and courteous. No haggling. We'll be back :-)

I had a couple issues with mine and they took care of it promptly. It amuses me to read about people complaining about this establishment and Buy Here Pay Heres in general. If you have great credit and lots of cash there are better deals out there. If you have great credit and lots of cash you don't get a Secured Mastercard or Visa. If you have great credit and lots of cash you don't buy a home on an FHA loan. But Buy Here Pay Heres provide people like me with bad credit and without lots of cash an option. Without them I would not be able to have a vehicle at all. People should be grateful for such services they provide rather than being resentful for the terms. So many people write bad reviews complaining that their car was disabled just because they missed a payment. People like us are bad credit risks. This policy is just good business. And not just that, it's more than fair. Buy Here Pay Heres are taking risks that other dealerships will not even consider. Feel fortunate not resentful. The other common complaint is that at some point the car needed repairs. The dealership cannot control that and would be out of business quickly if they had to warranty their cars indefinitely for free. They offer a warranty. If you can afford it then buy it. Read it because within it it will tell you what is covered and what is not. If you pass on the warranty and the car fails then that's not on the dealership. Do not sign a contract then change your mind about what you have agreed to then go on to write bad reviews to damage a business's reputation. when you do that you are not only hurting the owner of the establishment you are also hurting its employees and they do not deserve that. I personally do not know anyone who works there. I do not know who owns the place. I was just like the rest of you wanting to buy a car but having poor credit and not a lot of cash. I did a local Google search and they came up. When I read some of these reviews posted here it just upset me because those people are just like us trying to feed their families and when you post bad reviews for stuff that they are not doing wrong such as disabling your vehicle when you don't make your payment or not fixing your car for free when it breaks, you are hurting families. If this you and you have had a moment to calm down I would ask that you delete your review. I hate to see good people hurt other good people.
