Our meeting was relaxed and comfortable. The friendly conversation wasn't forced. It's nice to buy a car from other "Drivers" and car lovers - they get it. We could have chatted for hours. Car buying is supposed to be fun. Well, I found that Lake Country Toyota still believes that and does everything they can to carry that tradition forward.

This would have been an easy fix if you would have just offered my wife a loaner when you realized there was a problem. It was an installation error that put my wife through 8 hours of driving in a cold car. If you would have given her a loaner, and kept the car until it worked properly, you would have realized that it wasn't an "air pocket" when the car would heat in the shop, and would have found the crimped/twisted hose that was not allowing the car to heat up. This would have made the entire experience delightful as opposed to what it was. I understand you care here and how much the public views matter, but hopefully it will matter to you more in the shop next time you think about sending someone out without the job being done properly.

My daughter's Cadillac XT5 was losing contact with the key fob and would not start. We had them reprogram the keys in the past . My daughter works long hours -early to late., and needs the car for work. She called Brent Mackcow (service manager) and they discussed a receiver that can go wrong beyond the key transmitters. Brent goes above and beyond to help you. He ordered it, sent emails/texts outlining what ordered and when it arrived -next day. My daughter was able to drop it off early -before hours, and they got right on it. It took a couple of hours, and when done they even drove to Nisswa to pick her up. She did not have to rent a car. We also recently bought another XT5 from James in sales. It was a special optioned version and we really like it. Dondelingers has been great to deal with and we will be customers for years to come.

Apparently my car has a laundry list of issues wrong with it so they can't fix some (which is understandable) and would need to go to Hyundai. They estimated it could cost $2k-$3k to fix over there. When I went in and paid, my oil change was $70 - they auto upgraded me to synthetic without asking. On top of that - with a laundry list of issues I wouldve declined the oil change if I were to get a new car Picking my car up: When I went in to get my car I waited 10 minutes to be acknowledged by the male and female in the back. They were 5 feet from me and had customers but a simple "hey I'll be with you in a moment" would do. When I was finally helped and walking to go pay for my car the female made jokes about it being on its last leg with the amount of issues going on with the SUV. In my car: Was a flyer about 1. How awesome my car is and the used market is needing it so they'd give me a good offer (it was $200 on a $5500 car) 2. That they hoped they "wowed" me with the server. They did not Looking at new cars/lease: They rip you off on the loans. For a lease you pay off the $42000 MSRP. Or the $39000 sale price for buying. The % per year is higher. They wanted $800 a month to lease. Buying the car at $39,000 for 5 or 6 years the total you pay with interest is $54,000-$57,000. A damn near 50% mark up. On top of that my car is worth used $5,500 and it's worth repairing it for $2,000-$3,000 because of it lasts more than 4 months it's cheaper than the ABSURD monthly payments they want. That doesn't even count what it goes up based on your credit. Will not be going back and want my $70 over charged oil change refunded.

If zero stars were an option, that would be my rating…read more I purchased a 2017 Kia Forte from Ace Auto Sales on August 15, 2026. Six days later, on August 21, the vehicle developed a check-engine/drivability issue. I had the vehicle taken to Victory Tire & Auto, an independent repair facility. Victory diagnosed a misfire/spark-plug issue. I then requested a more comprehensive inspection because I wanted to know what I had actually purchased. That inspection resulted in recommendations for spark-plug service and brake-fluid service and documented low coolant requiring further diagnosis. Victory ultimately completed the cooling-system testing and, thankfully, found no coolant leak. What makes this experience particularly disappointing to me is that Ace had performed its own multipoint inspection on August 4--only 11 days before I purchased the vehicle. Ace has explained in writing why it believes its inspection findings and Victory's subsequent findings are not contradictory, including that some of Ace's checks were visual leak inspections rather than tests of fluid condition. Consumers can decide for themselves how much confidence that explanation gives them. Personally, this experience taught me that a dealer's multipoint inspection would never again substitute for an independent pre-purchase inspection. I notified Ace of the problem within six days of purchasing the vehicle. Ace acknowledged in writing that my notification was timely under Minnesota's Used Motor Vehicle Warranty Law. I asked Ace to unwind the transaction because a drivability issue occurring six days after purchase, followed by the additional inspection findings, had destroyed my confidence in the vehicle. Ace declined. Ace ultimately required that the vehicle be returned to its facility if I wanted to continue pursuing the statutory warranty process. By that point, however, my confidence in allowing Ace to work on the vehicle was gone. After Victory's final testing found no coolant leak, my family chose to pay Victory ourselves to complete the repairs and maintenance rather than continue pursuing warranty service through Ace. I want to be precise about what I am and am not saying. Victory did NOT find a coolant leak. Some of the items Victory recommended are maintenance items. I have no evidence that Ace knowingly concealed a defect, and I am not alleging that they did. I don't need to make those allegations to give an honest account of my experience. I bought a vehicle from Ace. Six days later it developed a check-engine/drivability problem. An independent shop subsequently documented additional items requiring service or attention. I spent days without the transportation I had just purchased, dealt with extensive back-and-forth correspondence, requested that Ace take the vehicle back, was refused, and ultimately decided I would rather spend my own money having an independent shop I trust work on the vehicle than return it to the dealership for warranty service. That is not an acceptable post-sale experience to me. Ace was certainly willing to explain its legal position and what it believed it was and was not obligated to do. What I personally did not come away with was confidence that Ace was a business I wanted to continue dealing with. I regret purchasing this vehicle from Ace Auto Sales, and I will not purchase another vehicle from them. My strongest advice to anyone considering buying here is simple: don't. If you buy a used car anywhere, pay an independent mechanic of YOUR choosing to perform a complete pre-purchase inspection before you sign anything. I wish I had.

Engine light came on and off also TPMS (which they did fix) the first week I had it and now back in after 2 and half months engine light is on again supposedly they figured out what it was BUT it will cost over $400 out of my pocket (even though have warranty they offered) just to get where the problem is and to see where it's leaking then plus the parts to fix but don't worry they make it sound like they are easing your mind having this warranty. Do not take their warranty they offer and make sure you get everything wrote down. I feel like I got taken advantage of, they do have great salesmen they make you believe they are way better than mom and pop shop and they are far from it. Service manager is NOT easy to deal with. Does not reply to voicemails, my car sat there for a week I ended up stopping there and talking to connor the salesman who sold me the car to help get an answer. If you buy from them make sure it's brand new (factory warranty) or lease you might be ok BUT I guarantee I will never buy from them or recommend them. Which they just lost out on possible two more car sales considering parents are looking and soon to be 16yr old. Just don't want anybody else to deal with this headache. Lesson learned the hard way.

Then the service manager tells me he took the car for a 5 mile ride to make sure it was okay but when he was driving the VSA light and the triangle light came on. Didn't say anything about checking out why this happened. Told me to drive it awhile and maybe they will go off. What service place sends you home with warning lights still showing on the vehicle? I don't really think this place knows how to repair cars. I told them I would more than likely be calling on Monday to make yet another appointment and the service manager said, "no problem, we won't charge you for another diagnostic check". I would hope not. They should have fixed everything before I left. I was so taken aback I didn't know what to do. Yes, I should have demanded they repair the car then and there. However, it was Friday at 5:00 and I believe their mechanics had already left for the day. They have had more service managers in the short time we have been taking in our car. I'm in the market for a new car and love Honda but knowing how this place operates makes me realize this is not the place to purchase a new car. If their sales force is like their service people, how could you justify buying a car from them? Honda called to check on our satisfaction of service and my husband told them what happened. They said they would call on Monday. So far no phone call. We will be calling them today. Anyone know of a good mechanic that is reliable and works on Hondas?
