Almost 0 tread at all, exactly as sold.

I'm not mad I about the car itself hence the two stars, instead of one. It's had its issues immediately after sale like the A/C steadily leaking out (meaning they filled it to make it seem like it works great) and one of the seat motors not working, blown springs in the back and some other small stuff. But the price was good. However the issue is their negotiability & quality standards are completely trash. The sales manager is a complete dickhead. I was willing to pay full asking price, no haggle on the vehicle if they'd just put tires on because they looked pretty worn out. They only offered the standard detail and fill-up. When I mentioned it the douche went on to say, "It passed state inspection, so the tires are completely fine! don't try to tell me they're bad, how could they have passed inspection if they were bad, how about that?" Just look at the pictures. I have not driven this car more than a thousand miles. No crazy stuff like burnouts, hard pulls, donuts, anything like that. This is exactly how they were sold. Downright DANGEROUS and I've never left a review anywhere besides here because I've driven this car in the pouring rain without knowing the full extent. Don't be like me CHECK YOUR TIRES, and don't compromise with ASSHOLES.

Absolutely a scam - stay away from Prime Motor! They promised to handle the registration for us, and when it was time to sign the paperwork, they told us everything was included. We trusted them and signed. Later, when we went back, they only gave us the title, not the registration or license plates like they promised. They also listed the car on Carfax for $16,950, but when it came time to pay, they had bumped the price up to $18,000, and added another $1,500 in extra fees! That's $2,550 more than what was advertised. When I confronted them, they denied ever saying they'd cover the registration - even though I had a recording proving they did! Their excuse? "That's only if you finance, not pay cash." That makes absolutely no sense. Why would paying cash mean worse service? These people are dishonest and shady. Avoid Prime Motor at all costs. Don't let them scam you like they scammed us.

This is the condition of the starter that was on the vehicle. Even after paying someone to replace the car is not drivable.

You know the joke about how a mechanic will always find something to fix on your car? Doesn't…read moreapply here. I recently took my seven year old pickup in for a state inspection and asked them to also look over the whole truck to see what maintenance needed to be done. They emailed my report a few hours later and said the truck looked good; no suggested maintenance. Auto Stop is great. I've been taking my cars here for more than a decade. The email reports they send with pictures of your car are also very helpful. Let's you know what's good, what needs to be taken care of soon, and what can wait if you want. And everybody I've interacted with there has been nice.

I've always been treated well, and while the pricing isn't the cheapest, I don't think it is unreasonable for the neighborhood they are in, and the brands they service. I have been comfortable knowing that there aren't shenanigans going on here. I like the inspection report that lists all major areas of my cars and if there is a recommended action. I also like that when I speak to Lucas, he ballparks when I need things done in case I want to spread out preventative maintenance. I've since left the region, but I do still visit a few times a year, and work in my service visits while I'm in town. That's probably the biggest endorsement I can give.

If I could give these guys six stars, I would!…read more I called Sparkleen this past Friday afternoon to get my '99 Suburban detailed so I could sell it. (Anyone want to buy a Suburban?) Sam answered right away and set me up with someone to come out the next morning. Before calling Sparkleen, I had browsed Craigslist for mobile detailers, and there were the same five guys posting their ads every day. Most of them were located in Maryland and didn't want to come out to Arlington. Only one guy was located in VA, and he wanted $225 for an exterior detail. Um, no thanks! Sparkleen had their entire price list on their website, and I chose to get the exterior detail, which included washing/waxing/buffing, power washing the mats, interior vacuum, and more. I also had him shampoo the rear carpet as there were some dirt and rust stains back there. WOW. "Eddie" did a fantastic job and the 'Burb looks brand new. They brought all their own equipment, and they also use biodegradable chemicals. My only quibble was that he missed some spots on the carpet with the vacuum. Sam called after Eddie was done and I mentioned the carpet, and he drove out himself to clean up the dirt. THAT is customer service right there. When my other car needs to be detailed, I'll definitely call Sparkleen for their services. Seriously, anyone want a Suburban??

I had a great experience with the sales team, which is why I was willing to drive approximately three hours round trip from Maryland to return to Radley when my Maintenance Minder displayed a B13 service. My Acura Precision Certified warranty booklet states that Precision Certified vehicles are eligible for one complimentary Maintenance Minder service within 12 months or 12,000 miles of delivery. I arrived last Wednesday at 8:00 a.m. and was helped by Ace Mansour, who took my information and brought the vehicle in for service. I explained that I was there for the B13 maintenance and also asked that the front brakes be checked because they were making a loud grinding noise when braking. At no point before or during the appointment did Ace explain that any portion of the B13 service would not be included, or that the "3" portion would require an additional customer-paid charge. When my vehicle was returned to me, I was told the service was completed and that there was nothing wrong with the brakes. The Maintenance Minder had also been reset. Based on that, I reasonably believed the entire B13 service had been performed. It was only afterward, when I received the paperwork by email, that I realized the transmission/transfer case service associated with the "3" code apparently had not been completed. In addition, the brake grinding noise was still present on my drive home. This was extremely disappointing. Had it been clearly explained beforehand that only part of the B13 service would be completed, I could have made an informed decision about whether to authorize and pay for the remaining work. I certainly would not have driven approximately three hours round trip simply for an oil change and tire rotation while believing the full B13 service was being completed. What concerns me most is that the Maintenance Minder was reset even though, to my understanding, the complete maintenance indicated by B13 was not performed. I was also told, "Okay, you're good to go," which gave me every reason to believe the service had been fully completed. Combined with the unresolved brake grinding noise, this leaves me questioning how thoroughly the vehicle was inspected and whether the concern was properly communicated to the technician and road-tested. I had a genuinely positive experience purchasing my MDX from Radley Acura, and that experience is what brought me back for service despite the distance. Unfortunately, the lack of communication and transparency during this visit has significantly changed my impression of the dealership and has made me hesitant to return for future service. I hope Radley Acura reviews how complimentary Acura Precision Certified maintenance is explained to customers and how service concerns are communicated, so customers are clearly informed about what will and will not be performed before their vehicle is returned and the Maintenance Minder is reset. Left a voicemail about my experience with the service manager on 10/1, no response as of 10/4.
