This is a quality dealership. Customer service is excellent and all of their agent's are polite, knowledgeable, and fair. If you're looking for a used car, this should be your first stop. read more

I've been doing business with Poquet for over 15 years. I've bought cars there at least three times and it was a great experience. I've also always serviced my cars there--as they seemed fair in terms of their maintenance recommendations and keep track of what needs to be done based on mileage. Yesterday, I spent over $1,000 for 35,000 mile maintenance. I went to pay my bill and learned they are now charging 3 percent surcharge for using credit cards. No heads up for me to let me know. I could have written a check--but didn't have a checkbook with me--and who tf writes checks anymore? Then, in addition to labor charges (makes sense) I got charge a "Shop Fee". Seriously? read more

Had a car being saved for me and they were the one holding up the sale of the vehicle to repair something. Turns out while being held for repair before purchase they sold it to another party. Very shady and misleading. Wouldn't recommend read more

I've had many dealership experiences over the years but nothing compares to Poquet and their mission to put the customer first. They were extremely fair and willing to work with me throughout the whole process. Purchasing my Acura was a five star experience and I look forward to doing business with them again! Thank you to Brad and the entire Poquet team for exceptional customer service. read more

We've bought and sold 3 cars now through Poquet and can speak highly of the experience. Forget about the usual negatives of the like overpriced vehicles, pushy sales people, worrying about the quality of the cars and difficult price negotiations. Personally, unless I really can't find a car I like at Poquet, I'm never going anywhere else. read more

We had a bad experience selling our BMW X5 at Poquet Auto in Golden Valley this afternoon. My husband, who works in a car shop and keeps our cars in excellent condition, brought it in -- no issues, and definitely no check engine light. He watched them drive it off the lot and be gone for 10-15 minutes. But when they returned, they claimed they never drove it and that the check engine light was already on when they started it. My husband asked three separate times if they had test driven it, and each time they denied it. That's not just misleading -- it's lying. We expected honesty and transparency, but that's not what we got. If you're thinking of doing business with them, be cautious. read more

We've purchased 3 cars from Poquet and have always love working with John Foley. Lots of low mileage, one owner, newer model vehicles. I highly recommend Poquet and John Foley in particular to help you find your next vehicle. We'll keep going back! read more

I will never buy a car anywhere else. Poquet is the best. Unlike any used car experience you'll ever have. Great staff. No haggle. No walking out feeling like you wasted a whole day being yanked around. And the service department- also great. They're incredibly busy so it may take a few weeks to get in sometimes but they're honest and very reasonably priced. You don't have to worry about them overcharging for service. read more

The follow-up I had on my complaints above were rectified within 24 hours. Amazing. The owner called me, I had a chance to explain, he listened, made suggestions and said he would have a conversation with his employee. I am truly impressed with how fast he got in touch with me. It just demonstrates that Poquet really does care about their customers. Really happy with our conversation! Thank you again. :-) read more

After looking online, it became clear that Poquet had the most to offer of the cars I was looking at and the best pricing. Glad we decided to stop here first (didn't need to go anywhere else!)! The second we pulled in and started to look around, we were greeted warmly, but not in a pushy way, by Dan. Just told us he'd get whatever cars we wanted to drive ready for us! Answered questions and was readily available, but didn't hound us at all. The entire staff on the grounds was very friendly. Even on a very busy Saturday, we were well taken care of and were in and out with a new car in no time at all! I agree with another reviewer that said they are generous with what they give for trade ins. I feel 100% like I got a great car at a great price and couldn't have been treated better. I immediately told a half a dozen friends/family who are in the market for a newer car to go there! Couldn't be happier! read more

Poquet Auto - Lexus NX 200 at a great price! - Auto Repair Near Me - Golden Valley, Minnesota

After writing this review, the owner and sales manager of Poquet both contacted me on a conference call. They were genuinely interested in getting my feedback and improving their service. We had a good conversation about my concerns and I feel my concerns were thoughtfully considered and they were very interested in them. Out of all the reviews I have written, this is the first time a business has been interested in following up. I can see that customer service is a priority for them, and I definitely feel better about our purchase now. I can now say that I recommend them. I'm trying to get one last winter out of my Toyota Highlander before I upgrade to something much nicer, so I'll give them a shot in the spring when it's time to shop for my new car. Thanks again Poquet for the follow-up. This has really made our experience much better! read more

I've bought three cars at Poquet along with my sister and cousin. A wonderful experience from beginning to end. You can wander around the indoor showroom or the outdoor lot, sit in the cars with no-one hassling you but there's someone near if you need help. If I recall correctly, the sales crew were not on commission. Prices are fixed, no haggling. Our experience is that their trade-in offers are generous. The credit-union based financing was better than my credit union. Poquet only sells nearly-new used cars but they are top of the line in terms of looks and mechanical. They look new. The stock tends toward very well equipped. And when you've made a purchase, an expert sits in the car with you and explains all the features, sets up your phone, etc. Poquet is my go-to place when I'm buying my next car. read more

This was the best experience ever. I worked with Brad in Lakeville and John in Golden Valley. I emailed with Brad beforehand to ask questions and figure out which cars I was going to test drive. The Golden Valley location is super close to downtown Mpls-10 minutes! When you enter the dealership the atmosphere is extremely cozy. Not at all like the bright high ceilings and freezing temps at other places. They have a front desk person you meet with and booklets of all their available cars. I test drove for about 20 minutes and decided on the same make but a different car. Since the car was in Lakeville I signed papers to buy contingent on a test drive and inspection. So easy! Filling out the loan paperwork can be done online and their rates are comparable to a credit unions. I was able to get a 6 year loan for 3.4% APR. Different credit scores will affect your rate but even those with a 600 range will have a good interest rate. The other great thing was the lack of a billion fees. There was tax, registration and a service fee, that's it! Most other dealerships would tack on ridiculous fees like 'you stepped onto our lot' fee (exaggerating yes). Not Poquet Auto! Everything was ready for me to pick up the car by Friday, and I had started the process that Monday. John helped orient me to the car and showed me some of the features. As a first time car buyer this was literally the easiest process EVER!! Thank you Poquet Auto for being so awesome. read more

I can't believe I'm writing a review of a used car dealership, but Poquet is unlike any other. We worked with Chuck to find a unicorn of a used car: a 2014 Subaru Outback with only 28k miles. The car looks and drives like a brand new vehicle inside and out. Chuck was responsive to our many questions and Poquet exceeded every expectation of a used car dealership. Their service department immediately took care of a couple things we noted on the car and we drove away the next day very happy. It truly felt like they want the customer to be happy - and they take pride their work and their inventory. Everyone at Poquet was kind and made the purchase process easy for us. We're in the Poquet club now... and don't think we will buy a car anywhere else again. read more

This was the most professional and smooth transaction I have ever had at a dealership. I am completely sold on how they do business: smart, efficient, transparent, and easy. Wow. What a concept, eh? :)) Consider me a future patron. read more

We have been to Poquet twice to buy a vehicle. And we were very happy/satisfied both times. In fact we kept in touch with Shaun trough out the years since we bought our first vehicle, and we remembered the pleasant buying experience so we thought we give it a go again for a vehicle upgrade. This time instead of buying a different line of Vehicle, and are very surprised again at the Selection of vehicles., The buying Experience was awesome as usual! We just really love doing Business with Shaun and have recommended her to anyone who will listen! She gets a 10 star rating in our books! read more

Between my parents, brother and myself we have purchased 7 cars from Poquet over the years. Most recently I bought a Nissan Rogue - an unexpected purchase after my beloved Audi was deemed totaled. Brad (and Colin) helped me find what I was looking for with the parameters given - they came up with multiple options and we went from there. I went in with an open mind with a few requirements (like AWD) but if you are looking for a specific car, I'm sure you could request it since they buy at auctions weekly. There was no sales pitch or pressure, their cars sell themselves. Before the car makes it to the sales lot, it goes through their service department. You will be getting a like brand new car. After the purchase, they followed up with me multiple times to make sure everything was perfect. Which included replacing the floor mats, paying for a second key fob and putting license plates on. I am so happy with my new Rouge and my whole experience at Poquet! Thank you!! read more

I'm not going to run my mouth on this place, just tell you the truth: this is the best place in Minneapolis to buy a car. My saleslady was absolutely fantastic. I love my new car, haven't had a problem, and had an oil change/winterizing that was priced fair. I love this place so much I'd marry it, but I promised myself I'd never marry a car lot, and I plan to stick to that promise. read more

Since Emily S. (above) is not going to marry Poquet Auto, I just might. There is no reason to buy a car anywhere else, unless you or someone related to you owns a car dealership. Poquet Auto carries quality cars, in great condition, with a fixed price lower than others our there. Their customer service is beyond compare. You don't have to spend hours sitting around while someone "checks with their manager" about a price, option, trade-in, etc. My car died suddenly and I was without transportation. I had not prepared to buy a car so I was thrown into the car buying process. I am not a "car person" so my background knowledge was minimal. I did some quick research on what was out there, what was good, and what was available on-line at numerous places. A friend suggested Poquet and I am glad he did. I checked out what they had on-line and went in on a Thursday morning. I could test drive whatever I wanted without being accompanied by a salesperson, which is really nice. The prices are fixed so no haggling and worrying about getting the best price. There prices were below comparable prices elsewhere. I bought a car Friday night. Easy. Fast. Stress-free. read more

Second car I have purchased from Poquet. I will do it again and again, no doubt. Dave and John were fantastic. I had an idea what i was looking for, but got so tired of running around to different places. I wasn't finding decent cars, and even the "no pressure" dealers felt a little shady. Going to Poquet, I listed the specs of what I was looking for in a vehicle, and Dave and John immediately narrowed it to 4 or 5 that fit the bill. Test drove them all, and quickly picked my new car. Truly no pressure, just good insight and information. The only drawback: the cars are all high quality and priced right, so you need to act fast! If you see the car you want, you probably have to pull the trigger quick. I would absolutely recommend Poquet to anyone looking for a high quality used vehicle. read more

Service department experience was awesome. Have a 2006 Lexus that the dealership told me would cost over 1000 to fix trunk hydraulic struts so I've put up with holding the trunk up. Curious if someone could do it for less, called Poquet. Not only did they fix the struts for 1/4 the price, but fixed a sensor I was ignoring (since the price tag to fix that non issue was outrageous at the dealer too). Very happy and will def be back! Thanks Poquet service team! read more

My British accent makes me sound supercilious, or cute, depending on whether you're thinking of Hollywood baddies or period drama heros. This affects how I'm treated by sales staff. Brad treated me like the person I am. He tuned into what I did, and didn't, know about cars without ever being condescending. He listened, answered, and guided. Brad made the potentially stressful experience of buying a car, in an unfamiliar country, smooth. I only had a UK drivers licence, we didn't know how this would affect things, Brad was honest and calm and didn't make a mountain out of a molehill. I'm definitely going to use Poquet again because in this life full of little dramas Poquet auto's keep things in proportion and provide a personalised service. Rare, special. read more

Went here to take a look at some cars and had a great experience. The sale rep that I talked to took me through the cars that were in my budget and what I was looking for and just gave me the keys and let me take them out. After I was done test driving several cars we sat down and went over what I liked and didn't like. Ultimately they didn't have anything that really suited my needs, and the rep was the one that even said "It doesn't look like we have anything that you really want." He said he'd give me a call if they got anything in that would suite me and gave me info on the cars I did test drive in case I changed my mind. Great dealership, no pressure selling and they were very informative. read more

Walked in and was greeted warmly. John assisted me in ascertaining exactly what I was looking for and went outside to pull a car into the showroom for me to check out. It was perfect. A beautiful 2012 Toyota Camry SE with only 11,000 miles on it. After a quick test drive, I filled out the necessary paperwork and BAM! Picked up my beautiful the very next day. Both John and Dave were great to work with as was Julie. Best car buying experience I've ever had. Will most definitely buy a car for my husband here as soon as he's ready. Can't say enough about these folks. Need a car? GO. You'll be taken care of by the best! read more

Again and Again they go above and beyond. The Volvo I purchased there blew a belt pulley and my belt blew. Well On a sat I talked to Rob and Monday morning Andrew was already working on it. If you ever need a car go to Poquet. Every time I have had a problem they have been more helpful than any luxury dealership. I called borton Volvo after jiffy lube said they could not replace my belt. and Borton said I would have to call back Monday and maybe they could get me in this week. Well what do you do when you have a broken car and have to work. Its not fun but it happens. I called Poquet where I got it and had AAA tow it over there and they got going on it right away. You don't get that from any other luxury car dealership around. Poquet is where I send my family and friends even co workers. try them out for an oil change and walk the showroom while sipping a cup of coffee and you will see the Poquet power. They don't do pressure sales and they have the best prices and simply the greatest sales staff. The repair dept isn't slacking either Andrew is the manager and is always Johnny on the spot with any question. Cant say anything but great about Poquet auto. read more

Just think... all of the cars that you actually want to look at buying, with none of the hassle of going to a "dealer." Now I'm not going to sit here and say that they haven't ever 'sold' a car, but it doesn't feel like a sales pitch! I called and spoke to one of the sales folks on the phone as I am interested in getting another car so my partner and I don't have to share anymore... And what do you know, they didn't try to force any info from me, they just wanted to know what all I was looking for, and pointed out a car they have in inventory that I have actually been looking at buying! Next step will be to go in and actually test drive not only the people, but the car! I will be writing updates based on my experiences at every level for Poquet, something tells me that I am not going to be disappointed in the least! read more

Poquet was highly recommended by several friends and we were not disappointed. I don't even want to refer to this place as a car dealership because they are in a class of their own. Buying our car from Poquet wasn't anything like our previous experiences at more traditional dealerships. Poquet has a wonderful inventory, a no-pressure approach and prices that you don't have to question. Our sales associate, Johanna, was so great that when she was going to be out on vacation for a day, she didn't try to pressure us into making a decision right away or stall our purchase until she could be back - she referred us to a colleague in order to ensure that we got the car that we wanted within the time frame that worked for us. Who does that? Fun, easy and painless. That's what our car buying experience was like at Poquet. Thank you! Doug Dekker & Brandon Dahl read more

Absolutely fabulous experience with Poquet! Shawn is such a professional and honest person to work with. I made the mistake of purchasing our last vehicle elsewhere and NEVER again will purchase outside of Poquet. She and the staff have always gone above and beyond - one example being that they fixed an issue that I've been told was something that would've taken months for me to discover. They are honest through and through and more than fair in their pricing. Great experience and I know I won't be taken advantage of. read more

Shaun at Poquet Auto Sales made our recent auto purchase a wonderful, relaxed experience. As always, she was extremely responsive to our needs and reinforced why we always come back to Poquet (is this #6 or #7). We love our new car and will have it serviced at Poquet for for many years to come...! read more

I broke down and had my truck towed here because it was close. Had never been here but they were awesome. They got me in quickly for my diagnostic and got me running. Gave me honest options about the repair and what they would do if it was their own vehicle. They did not try to sell me a repair my 12 year old vehicle did not need to make more money. Thanks Poquet auto! read more

Shaun is awesome....gave me a phenomenal deal on my Porsche Cayenne S trade in. She gave me a plethora of cars to test drive...found one I liked and purchased from her. As an FYI always remember Poquet is tucked into a neighbor so alway be mindful of your speed when test driving. Poquet rocks! HIDDEN GEM IN THE TC! THANKS Shaun!!! Her email is: shaune@poquetauto.com read more

I hate buying a car except from here! They specialize in leased cars that are only 1-3 years old. Such a no hassle laid back approach where you feel like a customer and not just a sale. They were very fair with my trade in, where other dealerships were not. The price was firm, which in a way is nice to not have to play the back and forth game. Best part was getting the car. They use Spire which is an amazing credit union with great rates. They set it all up for you, sign some papers, and you are out the door. Soooooo easy. Highly highly recommend. read more

Just made my first "big girl purchase" on a 2009 Volvo s040 here a week ago. Despite having done tons of research and mildly afraid of handing over my credit card to the big scary car salesman, this place is extremely pleasant and professional. My good friend and boyfriend both purchased cars here, with great recommendations. They let us test drive without driving in the back - which was nice, offered a great deal and a fair trade in price, and before purchasing answered seriously dozens of follow up questions that I had. No buyers remorse here! (knock on wood!) but I would recommend Poquet to any friends or especially first time car buyers :-) read more

Found a nice, low mileage vehicle at Poquet that was exactly what we were looking for. After my wife and I had both completed test drives, I e-mailed the sales consultant indicating that I would like to move forward and would come in to go through the numbers. She assured me that we could handle via e-mail, shared the sales and trade-in numbers and asked me via e-mail late on a Friday afternoon if I would like to purchase the vehicle. Prior to Poquet's 9 am opening time on Sat. morning, I sent an e-mail response confirming that I did indeed want to purchase the vehicle and requested the paperwork. A short while later I received a note and call from Poquet telling me that the vehicle had been sold. Apparently, someone had come in on Sat. morning to view the same vehicle and because they were on-site, they had "right-of-first-refusal" according to Poquet's policy. Very frustrating given that I had indicated my interest and intent to buy the vehicle prior to Poquet's opening time that morning and had been told that I did not need to come in to complete the transaction. All Poquet could tell me was "sorry....bad timing". So, if you decide to do business with Poquet and you find a vehicle that you like, learn from our experience - do not assume that e-mails or phone calls will secure your vehicle or that Poquet will hold a vehicle for you just because you have indicated your desire to purchase. If you are not on-site, the vehicle is up for grabs. read more

I bought a Hyundai Tucson here. The costumer service is incredible fast and helpful. I only had trouble with the transmission fluid. They replaced it immediately without any cost. Much better than other dealers (I also bought a car from Lexus of Maplewood before, they gave me deplorable tires after the purchase and asked me to pay 600 dollars if I want new tires). read more

Its great buying a car and not feeling like you need to take a shower afterwards. We have purchased 2 cars now from Poquet and are recommending this dealership to family and friends. Shaun E. is the best. She knew her details and made the whole process easy and enjoyable (yes, I had fun buying my car!) read more

I wouldn't buy a car anywhere else! Brad and the folks at Poquet helped us find an awesome car. Going back next spring to buy myself a BMW. Why take the hit on first year depreciation when you can buy a low miles like new car at Poquet. The service cannot be beat. read more

I'm in the market for a new car and while browsing through cars.com was reminded of the awful experience I had here a couple years back. It was without question one of the worst customer service experiences of my life (top five). They treated my potential trade-in vehicle as if it was a piece of trash (a beautiful Audi) and told me it was such that they wouldn't even be able to resell it in their own showroom. I still have that Audi. What made matters worse is that when I discussed vehicle price with them versus a dealer they actually told me to purchase a car at that dealer! Someone once said that "you may forget what people say, but you will never forget how they make you feel." This place made me feel like trash, and I happen to unfortunately also remember what they said. I would rather purchase my future Mercedes from one of those sketchy used car lots than this place. Even if the customer service there was terrible it would be better. I won't, but just so you get the idea... read more

Never bought a car here, but will real soon. What a refreshing way to shop for cars. Visited 3 different dealerships on a Saturday. The other 2 have been calling me non stop. Poquet respected my comments that I was still a few weeks out from buying. The guy gave me his card and said call when ready. What a great shopping experience and I'll be calling real soon. read more

Quick and easy! Husband and I worked with John Doberstein, who was helpful and not pushy at all. We went in to test drive a few cars and were so happy about everything we bought a car that day. It was such an easy process and we are very happy with our selection! read more
