Though I view buying a car as just a bit less inviting than a root canal, my experience at Gagel's…read morewas painless. Gagel's forgos the standard process which usually includes an 8 hour hostage situation followed by a bit of waterboarding. During which time the "customer" is either convinced the dealer "knows just what you need," or they breakunder the pressure and do as they are told. The salesmen at Gagel's allowed me to try out vehicles at will. Any questions about previous use and any previous "injuries" to the vehicles were met with frank discussions including photos of the damage that had been repaired. Since I had narrowed down my choices before arriving the entire process took under an hour. I left with a low mileage car that looks, inside and out, like it just came off the factory floor. Each car I tested was similar in that the mileage was low and condition top notch. There was no junk. How refreshing. If other car dealers took the lead from Gagel's and resorted to honest, low pressure sales, perhaps the reputation of the used car industry would climb out of the gutter.... I never thought I would say this to a car dealer---But it was a Pleasure doing business with you.

The men there were so nice and patched it immediately. They checked that the other tires were safe and put the repaired tire back on.

I don't believe that I could make up a worse experience with a service provider in any industry…read more After a very lengthy period of time to not only repair my instrument cluster but to also diagnose and resolve issues with stalling in my old truck, it died on the way home from the shop, I returned it and they diagnosed and allegedly repaired a different problem, yet it continues to stall with the AC on, which was the original issue. Then imagine my disappointment when I was going to take it out to run around the block two days after limping it home from Total and it was totally dead. Not only will I not return there for any type of service on any vehicle I own or will ever own, I will share my experience with anyone who asks my opinion, and some who don't. Avoid Total Automotive Services at all costs.

All available for test drive without a salesman tagging along so you can discuss each vehicle as you go. No added bullshit charges at the end of sale. I have to add it's the most jeeps I have ever found in one place from bargain price to very higher end vehicles. We will go back for our next purchase. If you are looking for a used Jeep I wouldn't pass this place up. I think there was around one hundred to look at and try out. Thank you for a great experience guys.

They kept me updated throughout the repair, and they had my car fixed and ready the same day, so I didn't have to worry about being without it over the weekend.

I am writing this review based on a recent, disappointing experience with Leisure Automotive. I…read moredealt with Bill, who informed me that my car had been inspected and that the timing belt had broken. He claimed I "won the lottery" because there was supposedly no engine damage, despite the fact that a belt failure on a Honda V6 almost always results in the valves hitting the pistons. Being skeptical, I performed my own inspection. I had personally installed a new OEM Honda timing belt only four months ago and was confident in the work. When I pulled the top timing cover, I found the belt I installed was still perfectly intact. There was no evidence of a snapped belt, a seized water pump, or a failed pulley. I was charged over $1,100 for a timing belt replacement that clearly didn't happen. Based on the symptoms, I believe the actual issue was a simple fuel pump fuse--a repair that should have cost less than $200, including diagnostics. I have recommended Leasure automotive to over 100 people over the last 20 years because I believed he was honest and above board. I actually started working on my own cars in 1979 specifically because a mechanic ripped me off back then; it is a shame to see a shop I trusted for so long compromise their integrity like this. I am sharing this so others can be aware of my personal experience.
