If you are considering buying here -- YOU NEED TO READ THIS ENTIRE REVIEW.
I stopped in here to look at a car recently. It was after work, so it was dark outside. Someone came over and asked if my girlfriend and I needed any help and we said we saw the car we wanted to see in front of us. He went and got us a key and left us alone to check out the car.
The car was dirty on the outside. I am not sure why. Maybe to hide the imperfections/scratches? It was an older car, so those are expected anyway, so I don't know why you wouldn't want it clean while on the lot.
We were allowed to turn it on and look it over. I said I wanted to have it checked out by my mechanic and I was told it was no problem. I left and came back a couple days later.
I was allowed to take the car and take it to JC to be looked at. The car needed some work, but the real issues came while on the lift. It needed at least $1,500 worth of work and potentially more as there was a leak my mechanic and I couldn't find the source of.
I took the car back and gave them the list of what my mechanic and I found. The car had relatively low miles for its age, but it was priced as if it were in good-to-excellent condition. With the work I knew it needed done, I would have needed the price cut in half to even consider it. I chose to pass due to the unknown leak.
So here's the thing -- these guys are super nice and will trust you (and encourage you) to get the car looked at. They have their own mechanic, but I wasn't told of the necessary work that was an immediate need. Maybe they didn't know. My mechanic found the issues very quickly.
I like that they aren't pushy, sounds like they want to help and be accommodating, and allowed me to get the car checked. However, YOU MUST get it checked before buying. They either don't know or purposely keep important information about their cars from customers.
Why the 4-star? They didn't give me any grief for not wanting the car after having it for several hours to get it checked. They were nice. And I don't know about how much they knew about the damage to the car. I'd give them another shot the next time I need a car, but ALWAYS get it checked out. It really saved my bacon on this one. read more
