These are all issues that I addressed with them and was told never to f....ing call there again. They kept the warranty money after I cancelled it, they charged me $3,000 more than they quoted me. They are rude, disrespectful, and scammers. Run from this dealership and spread the word. They wouldn't take the car back when I called the very next day to return it after the drive home.

Therefore, I declined the call. I got a text, again, from Edwin. I replied to the thread by asking for 3 things: the vehicle's carfax, the invoice with info on the car and an itemized list of the out the door price. All things I ask for before I step foot in a dealership. Edwin stated that he cannot give me a price over text... wrong... he wouldn't do it. Stay away from these kinds of dealerships that are not transparent. I then asked for a manager to contact me... he replied with the dealership's number and said to ask for Edwin... he's a sales rep, not a manager. When I told him HE was Edwin, crickets... like I said, stay away from non-transparent dealers. UPDATE: He did eventually reply and confirmed he was Edwin folled up with, "Tell you what. Bring me all those breakdown prices after shopping around and let see what I can do for you". A GOOD dealership doesn't do this. They provide the seller with clear, transparent information and if they have the best price and a TRUSTWORTHY sales team, they get the sale. I have a 789 credit score, preapproved through my credit union... I am ready to go with a GOOD dealer... not this one.

I had an issue with my Subaru and my tire pressure light stayed on which was an issue because I never truly knew when my tire pressure was actually low. I made an appointment with Chris at the front desk and he was very kind and accommodating. My favorite mechanic is Eddie V. He's the best of the best and I highly recommend you book with him. He knows the ins and outs and he's very good at what he does. I love that he's straightforward too because we all know mechanics find other things wrong. But, Eddie is passionate and compassionate. No swindling here and you are in perfect hands! All in all, he fixed my tire pressure light in under an hour and I left a very happy customer! Also, they've got cool cars in the showroom you should totally check out.

The service department is professional, reliable, and always goes above and beyond to make sure our vehicles are taken care of. The business office is just as impressive--transparent, efficient, and respectful of our time. What I appreciate most is the consistency. No matter how many years go by, the team here continues to treat us like family. It's rare to find a dealership that delivers this level of trust and customer care time after time. We'll definitely continue to give them our business for years to come. Highly recommend CarMax on Nebraska Ave to anyone looking for a hassle-free and genuinely great car-buying experience. Our most recent experience Dylan, Emilio and the team inside the business center wasted no time taking care of what we needed.

    StreetSide 5 stars…read morefor a large, impressive show room in a massive building. Its a fun place to walk about and see all the automotive eye candy. 5 stars for a vast section of collectable vehicles of all genres. 4 stars for promoting a vehicle. They wash and shine the car then shoot numerous glamour shots for optimal presentation. Then they really sell it with a thorough, well-written essay for the website. They almost over-embellish, but the only thing they misrepresented was the cruise control; I told them it had never worked. 4 stars for getting you top dollar for your vehicle, because 4 is 80% of 5, which is what I got. They sold my car for $50k, and I got $40k, which was the agreed amount in writing. Doubt I could have sold the car myself for much more through classified adds or eBay or such. If I had, there would have been all of the phone calls and electronic chat and the showings and the no-shows that would waste Saturday mornings. There would have also been the haggling, plus the risk of dealing with unscrupulous characters. StreetSide is a service of convenience that spares both seller and buyer those frustrations. 1 star for customer service. The place is blingy and in a nice area, as opposed to some seedy little lot along Florida Avenue, but at the end of the day they are still just used car salesman. The enthusiastic cordialness tapers off fast once you sign the legally binding contract; no changing your mind after that if you walk away and get a pang of seller's remorse. My car had excellent curb appeal and sold in less than two weeks. In my last paragraph, you'll note the business made an easy $10k profit with only a few hours invested. Don't think new car dealers make that kind of profit off a single sale. When I went back to sign the title and get my check, they kind of gave me a disingenuous, monotone "Thank you for your business" without even looking up from the monitor. Worse, Beth in the title signing cubicle lost the second set of keys I brought in; the buyer did not receive them. When he phoned, they blew him off; they did the same to me. I called Ryan, our salesman, who said he'd search for them and call back whether he found them or not, but he never did. The keys are simple to duplicate, but the key FOB will be a major hassle for the buyer to replace. 5 stars for protecting your privacy, or, in my case, sharing the info with the buyer if you request it. A resto-mod is a one-of-a-kind car, so notes, paperwork and receipts are important. I insisted the next owner receive it all, and he did, minus the set of keys. They will also let you pass along spare parts, so long as they fit inside the car.

I came here with my dad for his birthday, because he loves classic cars (who doesn't, right). So it was a nice way to get some steps in while enjoying the beauty of these cars. The staff were friendly and told us we could go into the showroom at out leisure. There was a little refrigerator with cold water to enjoy which made it all the easier to spend time in there. Looking at the cars certainly brought back memories for dad which was special to see. There was a 1964 Ford Thunderbird which was the same car his mom had when was younger. The prices on some of the cars were outrageous, while others were very reasonable. We will keep visiting though until we can hopefully find my dad a Studebaker Silver Hawk, one that needs restoring so we can make it just the way my dad wants.

    I WOULD NOT recommend buying here…read more I am a cash buyer and went in this morning to test drive a car. After driving it, I stated to the sales person that it was not the car for me as it seemed to ride a bit rough instead wanted to look at another SUV. He goes in to get the keys.The owner comes out from the office a few minutes later and stated he drove the vehicle I test drove this morning and it was fine and asked me what my issues with it were. I gave a bit more detail. He then proceeded to tell me in a sarcastic voice, "Maybe something happened between then and now. Now, you do know these are used cars? They are used. Not new. This is a used car lot." I told him not to speak to me like that. He then once again had to remind me that it's a used car and went back into the office. I looked over the other SUV for another few minutes then went into the office to say that I was interested in it but wanted my mechanic to look it over. The owner says, "Let me tell you how we work here. We don't do that. Buyers that do that don't trust us. I don't trust buyers that do that so..." I cut him off, said "ok, thank you. Have a good day." And walked out. He just missed out on a cool $8000 cash. BEWARE!!!!!

He said someone could come and look at the car there, which is bogus because VW's need both a VW computer system and special equipment for a legit and worthwhile inspection. Even though I had done all my research and asked a lot of intelligent questions, the owner flip-flopped when I told him that I wouldn't buy the car without getting it inspected and said that he would "flex [his] policy just this once" for the reason that, quote: "You're a girl, and so you don't know much about cars." Stay away.

After being recommended to V W Moters, I had my car towed to this company because it wouldn't start. The owner quickly troubleshooted and fixed my car within the same day. I required 2 new batteries and when I picked it up later that day, it started back up with no issues. The prices were also fair and reasonable compared to what a Mercedes dealership would have charged me. Fast forward a few weeks and I noticed my brakes were going bad and called last minute on a Friday for an estimate. Although closing within the hour he asked me to bring the car by for an accurate estimate. Turns out my brakes were so bad that they were metal on metal and he didn't feel comfortable with me driving off with my car in this condition. Since I have no other form of transportation I was offered a vehicle to drive if he could not get the parts in and car fixed by the following day when they close at noon so that I could get to work on Monday. Very grateful for this kind gesture but I declined since I live close by. My car was ready by 10 am the next day and again, the price was fair and much cheaper than the dealership. I highly recommend this family owned business. Everyone there is super nice and professional. The prices are fair. The work is reliable. I will continue to bring my vehicle here in the future for any car related issues as well as referring my friends who are looking for a trustworthy mechanic.

Saw the excellent reviews and as an out-of-town buyer went ahead and scheduled a one-way flight from PCB once I settled on the right car. Brad was great to work with beginning to end and was very patient and held the Bolt for me as I juggled cancelled and rescheduled flights and urgent doctors visits for my elderly mom. It was all worthwhile once I saw the car in immaculate condition and fully serviced and charged for the drive back to PCB. Pleased to discover the car still had its estimated EPA range from new and only need one fast charge on the way back, which is a revelation compared to the Leaf.

This car is entirely rust free. Todd and Susan worked with my wife and me to arrange the paperwork for the sale in 24 hours. When they learned that we could only fly in to pick it up on a weekend due to my wife's work schedule, they bent over backward to arrange the pick up for a Sunday morning at 7 am. They double checked the car so that she could feel confident getting in it and starting a 1535 mile journey to Vermont. I can't say enough good about the car and about the purchase experience! Love the vehicle and we'll be back.
