I was skeptical at first as I've never bought used from a private dealership like this. However, after working with Luis my opinion changed. He's a great person and made the car buying process a lot smoother. I would recommend going through him - if possible. It's a one stop shop, everything wrapped up fairly quick. The downside was coming back to get an oil change and inspection; I was there for 3 hours. Outside of Luis and the Spanish gentleman with the man-bun, the professionalism is lack luster at best. The sales manager has quite the obvious ego and it comes out when he speaks to customers. Everyone is bro, babe, sweetie, "ma nigga" etc. He certainly talks down to people (not me, but I witnessed it with a disgruntled customer who had a miscommunication with another employee). Walls separating the customer sitting area from the sales team would do wonders for this place. If the goal is to get a car for a fair price, I'd recommend checking Philly Auto out. But, if you want that factory dealership feel and treatment, look elsewhere. read more

Being hounded for a sale then having Shan get rude. I am shopping for vehicle and have used them before. Dealt with Luis before and maybe the only reason he didnt getting flippant with me is because I am bigger. The owner was and probably still is an asshole. These people are rude and thirsty for a sale. Go elsewhere. I got an email this morning asking me not to favorite any of their inventory because I They can see it and only want serious customers. Like what type of thing is that to say to a returning customer. Lost me read more

Philly Auto - Rude emails from the "Internap Customer relations Manager" - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Would NOT RECOMMEND!!! they advertise and credit and money down and you'll get a car. Thats not true. I believe it's a big scam and just want our info for whatever reason. And louis or whatever is name is had an horrible attitude the whole time and made the experience 10 times worse. Would not recommend!!! read more

I purchased a used car in March 2024 and bought a vehicle service contract. It was not explained nor any information provided. Three months later, they provided a single page of information via text. It clearly states it is cancelable and Road Reliance confirmed that. The dealer refuses to cancel the contract and refund the money. read more

Coming from a distance to check out a car you found on the internet? Stay away! I called TWICE before driving here. Confirmed the car - make, model, year, color. Confirmed the price. Asked about any fees beyond taxes, title, registration. I was told nothing extra unless I'm financing through the dealership. I said I'm not financing there, would that be a problem? No, not at all. Get there, and they tell me$2000 more than when I called, plus at least $5000-$6000 on top of the price listed for an out the door cost. If you're local to this place, and have no real financial options, maybe you can drive out of there in a nice vehicle. But if you're looking to drive any kind of distance to get a deal you saw on the Internet, don't waste your time. Even if you call ahead TWICE to double check! read more

Just don't come here and get ripped off buying junk cars Worst car dealer in America, they sell only junk cars that will break down as soon as you drive off the lot read more

Guy that goes by the name "PMONT" he's the fatest guy there sold me a non workable vehicle for $3,500 plus $400 for tags etc. I came into Philly auto with my 11yr old baby because I needed a vehicle and I did not want to finance because I been that route before and wanted to own a vehicle out right. Anywho, he showed me the cash vehicles and which the vehicle I liked he stated the vehicle had 160k miles when the vehicle had 211+ on it, windows did not work and the car was tore tf up. My inspection stickers are from 2022 so go figure. My advice is to just go elsewhere because they clearly do not care if someone gets badly hurt due to an accident in there messed up vehicles. read more

Such a scammy place. Start with the non-negotiable $1200 lo-jack system and the non-negotiable $1,800 dealer fee in addition to the list price. So, add $3,000 in junk fees to the price advertised before any sales tax, license, registration or other legitimate transaction fees. Oh, and a lot of pressure to take out a 10%+ loan instead of paying cash. Also, none of the cars on the lot have any info posted when you look at them - make, model, year, mileage, price... nada. It's all very shady. I left there and went to a reputable name-brand new/used dealer in the suburbs. Got a better car for a lower list price and NO junk fees at all. If you are already at Philly Auto, leave now. If you aren't there yet, consider yourself warned. read more

The Civic was the right choice for me, and the team made the buying process smooth. They were patient and thorough, which helped me understand everything about the car. I really liked the way that they walked me through each individual model and took the time to tell me everything about them. read more

I started my car buying process with Philly auto July 3rd. Today is July 26 and I finally got my money back. I wouldn't send my worst enemy to them to purchase anything! What should have been a simple car buying process turned into my family's worst nightmare. We started it with Angel, I'm not sure of her title but she's clearly over worked and under Paid because from the time that my family and I were in the establishmentt she complained about needing a vacation up until we were done with their business. On our first day there we got approved for a Chevy Cruz 2018. We had to go back home because we did not have both drivers license and we told them we will come back the next day. when we arrive the next day with all our documents and waited for an about an hour Darrell the general manager told us wait a minute I can't give you guys this car. It's a stick shift. So now he's back in the computer looking for a new car.it took really long and I had my kids there with me so I said we are going to come back the next day. The very next day we come he approves us for a Nissan rogue, but we need $1000. I had to wait for my check to come and when our check came( 4 days max)we where ready to go and get the Nissan rogue but then darryl call and tell us that he sold it but he's going to find us a new car. They did not find us a car until July 17 and that was a 2020 jeep Cherokee. We did not test drive it because it was 7 PM maybe 7:45 o'clock at night but we were advised to bring it back in the next day so they could get it detailed. Per my recording it says that we can bring it back at our earliest convenience to get it detailed get minor service work done, three days go by, and my car completely breaks down on the road. Apparently it needs a whole new transmission. I could go on and on and write a very long book report on why you shouldn't buy a car for Philly auto about how nasty every single worker is there about how they talk about everyone who walks out the door about how they laugh at you when you come in here and say well we heard this your radio add....but I'll just leave it as I got a car three days later the transmission went the end. read more

This is the place that gives good used car dealers a bad name. They have this radio commercial that is straight up false claims, the management is the worst. Took time off work, $80 round trip Uber to pick up the bill of sell. Only to be told later he forgot he took a deposit from another customer for the same vehicle. That's some crack head shit. How do you forget something like that. I would not recommend nobody go there to buy anything, at any rate. Whatever they tell you it's a lie, but if you do decide to go there have ya game face on. These people are slicker than owl shit on a brass doorknob. Maybe the state should take a look at there practices. read more

worse place EVER... customer service so bad. A bunch of ghetto assholes that talk about every customer that walks through the door. sale cars that won't pass inspections. waste ur time. over work the Spanish guy and insults him with racial slurs. don't deserve A star read more

They are extremely unprofessional, not knowledgeable in the slightest and even slightly predatory. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM. It seems they attract business by listing low prices online but then sneaking in massive fees far out of line with what other dealers will put in. They also practice what I suspect are predatory lending practices as the rates they are offering were a suspicious amount higher than what I was offered elsewhere. They also were wrong about things repeatedly and doubled down on these claims when I asked about them. I was then subsequently able to confirm that they were incorrect from multiple other dealers. All of that isn't even touching the serious lack of professionalism. I heard them getting into shouting matches with customers multiple times while I was there (45 minutes), and for at least one of those the cause of the issue was that the manager Daryll simply misunderstood what the customer was asking for. He seemed to be an aggressive guy who is completely unwillingly to admit when he made a mistake. I don't exactly have a high bar for used car dealerships but Philly Auto somehow managed to drastically underperform even when judged on that generous scale. Avoid them if you don't want to be scammed, taken advantage of or treated disrespectfully. Edit: After reading through the other reviews I suspect that the only positive ones have been posted by members of the dealership themselves or by people with connections to the dealership. read more

AHOS add a bunch of fees to the bottom line Tag and title fee is understood but $1995.00 prep fee $389.00 Doc fee $20 lien fee $23.00 messenger fee lol Then wanted me to pay taxes up front for a vehicle I was taking out of state and paying cash for ? NO BUENO GUYS I WOULD PASS ON PHILLY AUTO WISH I HAD MORE HANDS I WOULD GIVE THEM 4 THUMBS DOWN read more

If I could give them a minus 20 I would! This place is an absolute rip off. We dealt with Louis which turned out to be one of the worst experiences. My advice? Go to a reputable dealership. If it seems too good to be true, most likely it is. The place is ran like a three ring circus. I don't know which was worse, the disorganization, profanity, extremely long wait, or the outright deception of the salespeople. read more

Just 1-2 mechanics and shabby shop. Overpriced and 2 weeks later I had car towed back to shop. More money sinc e they said it was different issue. "Warrentee" not in force because problem was unrelated and another $560. NEVER AGAIN. I'M sure it was same pro lrm for twice the price. Time to find mechanic whose good, dependable and no pricing surprises. When, after 2nd time we now need and want repudle mechanic instead of slight of hand type. read more

We found a car which felt too good to be true. We saw the car and test drove it. We mostly dealt with Luis who seemed like a nice honest guy at first. FALSE. He told us no car in the inventory has ever had an accident and that he had a carfax report for the car we were interested in as well. We saw a yelp review in which a customer received a carfax report of a car with a DIFFERENT VIN number but unfortunately noticed it after the purchase. We spent $40 to do a carfax report. The car we were about to purchase has had TWO ACCIDENTS. Please do your due diligence and spend time and money doing your own car fax report. They will lie to you with a smile on their face. read more

Service so bad,they told me someone will help you in a minute and I was waiting for 40 min

A day after posting my review, my salesman (Tony) contacted me. He insisted what they did to the car is a "plus". I asked him what did they do to the car and never got a response back. That just says how much they care about their customers. read more

Philly auto has poor customer service. Cars all are packed together. They use terrible foul language such as curse words & also an odor smell in office building. There is absolutely no privacy, everyone can hear your situation which for some people that's not comfortable. If you make an appointment with someone, when you arrive at Philly auto they will send you to another person. They are not willing to work with you financially. They don't let you look at cars, they will decide for you. They are not welcoming what so ever. read more

Horrible. The Manager Darryl was very rude. Don't go here unless you have money no matter what they say. They ran my credit twice and kept calling me had me thinking I would walk a way with new car just like commercial says but no they want $3000 down??? They said come in we can show gou some zero down options but didn't when I said I didn't have 3k he told me bye bye go get some more money. read more

I purchased the car in Oct 2021. I did not receive my car for over a month and a half. I had to force this company to hand over the car I paid for. The stickers on the car was close to expiration date, so I had to pay for new stickers. When I returned to this business for them to check the car, my car was returned to me with engine light and other warning lights on. Also this same mechanic did some type of work on my car at this time and my air conditioner stopped working. I tried to call and email, no one returned my message. The salesperson also ran my credit before I even decided to come into the business. I was stuck with using this business, since they illegally ran my credit after saying they would not. I never gave permission to this business. The dealership told me my car would be registered and I paid for this, the car was never registered and I was driving around with illegal plates that did not come up in the PA registration system or NLETS. I had to pay double to register this car. I left several messages and again the manager never called back. read more

WHEN I TELL YOU THIS IS THE WORST CAR DEALERSHIP I PHILADELPHIA. THIS BUSINESS AIN'T SHIT. There goal is to get you to spend the highest rate on a vehicle. I really needed a car for work and I went there wanting a 13,000 and they told me once I got there that, that car wasn't available, yet it's on there website and I called about it and no one told me that over the phone. I didn't know that car wasn't even on their lot until I got there and they introduced me to the car THEY wanted me to get(17,000) and not the one I asked about. Then when I purchased the car the energy light and sensor were on. So I gave them a call and let them know, they say it's nothing I should be fine but on my way home the car cut off on me on the expressway and I was almost in an accident. So they take the car and "try" to fix it. I got the car back with the same issues so then they told me to take it to a Nissan dealership so they could figure out the problem. I did that and the Nissan dealership told them what was wrong ( which was a engine problem) and that they can fix it for me that day. Philly auto told them NO and wanted me to bring the car back for a week so they can have their tech fix the problem which is stupid because it's not a technical issue it's a mechanical issue I think they (Philly auto) is trying to get the car back to fix the engine light not the actual problem so that I can drive the car but still have that engine issue, I just won't see the light. Also they never even got the car inspected, there were no inspection stickers on the car I had to get it done myself. If you want to waste money and time I say this is the place for you. PHILLY AUTO IS A SCAM. From the manager Darryl to the salesmen Claud. Don't do it PLEASE IM TRYING TO WARN YOU!!!!! I'm actually about to ask around some lawyer to see what can be done because they are SCAMMERS!!!!!​ read more

Good Evening, This is Javier R. These people are crooks!!!! There has been nothing but delays and stalling on the part of Philly Auto to resolve this matter. I still have not received a title for the vehicle I purchased from them on 12/28/2018. I emailed Luisa what they asked for (OHIO ViN Verification) on 2/21/19. Luisa still had not sent it over to the 3rd party title place for processing as of today 3/7/19. When I spoke to the title place they had no record of receiving the VIN verification from the dealer. My PA Temp plates expired on 2/25/19. I called them today and they are telling me they can't​ give me Extended temp plates, giving me yet another run around​. They are saying now in order for me to get an extension on my TEMP plates I have to go to the DMV with my bill of sale and file a complaint for them to give me another set of Temp Plates. Darrel (the manager) Stating that Philly auto will reimburse me the $18.50 it will cost to get this done. DOES THIS NOT SOUND LIKE THE STUPIEST THING YOU EVER HEARD??!! PHILLY AUTO HAS MY BILL OF SALE THEY FUCKED UP SO THEY SHOULD BE DOING​ THIS NOT ME!! in any case Luisa also said she would reimburse me for the Vin verification and I have YET to see that. They are throwing excuse after excuse for me to do things on my end that they should have done as a dealership should under their responsibility but their incompetence has got the best of them on this one. Ooooooor they are just that shady business and they dont have a title for my car. So now, All these requests​ from them with no guarantee of ever seeing the title to this car they sold me. Every single time I call or complete what they ask for its another excuse!! On top of the fact that they don't​ ever pick up the phone or return my calls. If you don't​ want the headache I'm​ going thru stay away from this place. I'm​ very anxious to see how this is going to turn out for them and myself. read more

Terrible service the cars are trash very unprofessional they have nothing but lemons !!!!

This by far was the worst experience I have ever had trying to purchase a car. The gentleman that I spoke with on the phone was not there. Another gentleman helped. Almost 2 hours into being there left sitting at a desk. While the person that is helping us is outside smoking and eating. They finally run the credit. And only with one bank they use With an outrages monthly payment. We left. The manager calls and wants to run the credit again. After we are gone for almost an hour. read more

This dealer stinks. Horrible. Absolutely horrible. Worst customer service. They lie about everything. The worst car experience I ever had. The crazy thing is that they don't care so the attitude will never change. I'm mad I had to give it 1 star. read more

DON'T GO HERE..I previously posted about my Mercedes-Benz R350 not properly running since it left their lot. My car sat on their lot until I saved up enough money to fix it myself. When I finally went to have it towed I noticed it had been Vandalized. THEY OFFERED ME 1 Month of a car payment in which I denied. Instead, I called the police and made a report against them. They don't care about you. They will be the nicest people so that you'll spend your money, once they have it you're on your own. I'm providing pictures this time, and every time I think of what they did to me I will update so others will not have to suffer what I'm going thru right now. read more

They said credo don't matter and if you have a job pay check job you can get a car don't be fooled into wasting your time and credit points

I recently purchase a car from this dealer which died 2 days after from a dead alternator, the driver side door switch was malfunctioning and I couldn't exit the car, ... They also overcharge me $1000 on the price of the car saying it was additional taxes and fees because the car will be licensed in another state. I found out that was a lie and I have been trying to get back my money for the last couple of weeks... They also did not honor the discount issues through the third-party website if you make a purchase right away... They eventually repaired the wheels damaged from the last owner so I agree to let them keep the discount as payment... They also repair the car so it's driving again... somehow water is seeping in the trunk from underneath the car... I would never make a purchase from them again or recommend them to anyone... read more

They sold me a lemon Car has already had 5000 bucks worth or work put into it including a new engine all the items that they "fixed" on my car before purchase have already needed to be replaced and the "new" tires they put on the car dry rotted in less than 4 months to top it all off they didn't even spell my name right on my registration and title and when i brought it to their attention several times thwy told me it was being taken car of. I bought in November of 2014 and im still waiting for my corrected paper work i will never buy a car from them again. If they sold me a car for a dollar i still wouldn't buy it. read more

You wouldn't think that this place would have high end, beautiful cars at nice prices but they do. From Beemers to Audi's, they have it all. Luis took car of my every need and was better than any of dealerships that advertise on TV. Very happy and would make subsequent purchases. read more

Unprofessional! Why is it okay for your managers to lie to previous customers. Bad customer service ! My car was totaled in December why is my warranty still not paid . While manager Darryl keep lying saying he sent payments. He hung up on me for asking him why he keep telling me different stories every time I talk to him . Very unprofessional read more

Philly Auto is the best !!!! Roman and Byron were so helpful and made everything so easy and smooth and I love my new car!! It is so beautiful and clean . I highly recommend Philly Auto to anyone looking for a car . read more

So disappointed that this dealership and management has forgotten its about customer service. Demand respect when you're handing over your hard earned money. If you're out of state make sure a title clerk is on site or make arrangements to get your own tags. Car purchased July 2018 and still no tags. read more

Pretty helpful to an individual with little knowledge on cars or buying one for that matter. But overall, unprofessional. I went there alone, as a female, one morning to test drive and felt a little uncomfortable with the comments made by the EMPLOYEES and an individual sitting in the waiting area. Nothing was said or done about it. Also, I was texting the car salesman about lowering my price and he said we should be able to work something out, but my manager wants you to come in first. And I didn't appreciate the ploy to get me to come in -- I thought the price would be lowered! Also, the car was on E when I got home. Unbelievable. When I tried to sync up my Bluetooth there was 6 names still connected to it. Little things you thought they would have done for a car buyer. All in all I would say they helped me out, but the pet names "gorgeous and sweetie" were enough to make me gag! read more

Took a buddy to buy a car very unprofessional...I've never been to a car dealership that tries to sell you a car without actually letting you look or test drive the car. Any questions that were asked were always interrupted by a personal phone call or an eye roll. While in the middle of paperwork the salesman Benny stopped what he was doing pulled out his cell phone to show a video to a mechanic of a wrestling match he and another salesman had the day before. DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM THIS PLACE ago to an actual dealership read more

Don't purchase a vehicle here! They Sell damaged cars and hope you don't find out or don't show or tell you until after you sign for the car. Also will not get your tags on time so you will be driving around on expired temporary tags. Once you leave the lot you are no longer a customer. They will never call you back or they will transfer you to someone's voicemail who is full. WORST experience I EVER had purchasing a car. Go to a reputable dealer! read more
