Bought a 5yr old used truck from Hayford. Reasonably priced. I came in an hour before they closed…read moreand offered to come back the next day. Sales was dead set on a sale that night. The finance department was very unhappy to still be there. I requested to use a loan through my credit union. They never even contacted my credit union. The loan they gave me was based off a credit score that was nearly 120 points below my actual score. My credit union verified my credit score when I refinanced pretty much immediately for almost a 4.5% interest drop. I had to go through the whole refinancing process less than two weeks after I bought the vehicle because Hayford automatically enrolled me in a loan with Wells Fargo with a credit score they got from Equifax. I opened a credit card with my credit union two weeks later and they used Equifax as well and found my score to be way higher. Furthermore a wire for the block heater was clearly identified broken prior to me purchasing the vehicle. Hayford claimed they would fix it. They said they'd call me once the part was in. Two weeks later still no contact by them so I call them and tell them if they are lying about their intentions to fix it to let me know and I'll fix it myself. They then say there must have been a communication error because the part was in stock when my truck was purchased. Their manager Furthermore told me I had no right to question their character because he's a man of his words. I told him to just mail me the part and I'll do it myself. Guaranteed they haven't mailed it and never will. I wish I had a better experience with Hayford and could recommend them to others, but I really can't. Worst expierence I've ever had with a dealership. Their sales team is pleasant and have some good employees, but their finance guy was extremely short and rude, and their manager was more concerned with his pride than he was resolving the issue. They also do not care about how they treat you once you sign the paperwork. I try to keep business local when I can, but I won't be back and won't be recommending them to anyone I know. In a small community reputation and integrity is everything. Not once was it offered to me for them to follow up on how my credit score was found to be 120pts below what it actually is. Nor did anyone apologize for the absolute cluster of a process they have.

When we arrived, Abe had a technician come out who immediately figured-out what was wrong and then brought the car in the shop to fix it. We were back on the road in a short matter of time.

I brought my van to Always Automotive this fall because it developed a misfire over 60 mph. I left…read moreit that day with a 100% smooth idle, no other symptoms. They replaced coil pack #5 (the misfire), installed all-new spark plugs -- I had said yes, but asked them to check first because I was almost sure they had been done the previous summer. That's on me for not calling my ex-husband (a mechanic who had done all previous work on my van) to confirm. He had replaced them with platinum Champions, but they still swapped them for cheap ones. They also found a leaky transmission line and a few other small things -- total was $1,200. When I picked it up the next day, it immediately started shuddering while stopped, RPMs shooting up with my foot on the brake. I called and was told that was normal after a computer reset and to wait 30-50 miles. But it continued the whole time -- hesitations, no acceleration, gas mileage dropped from 20+ MPG to 14. When I brought it back the first time, I asked if it could be an air leak. They said no, they tested for that after finishing. They just reset the computer again. Still no improvement. It got worse. I called my mechanic ex-husband to listen -- he said it sounded like an air leak. I brought it back a second time and left it for a few hours. They "tested vacuum lines again" and rechecked their work. Told me nothing was wrong. I was then told I was "overly sensitive," or it was because I used the A/C in the cold... I was told over and over that I must've broken something else -- a secondary issue they couldn't find. Shane told me to "drive it until it breaks" and "call if it got worse." It only got worse. I called, they said drop it off. I brought a 15-second video. Shane glanced at it and refused to watch it, raised his voice, said he knew exactly what was wrong with that vehicle. I started crying at some point. He said, "I'm not trying to be an asshole"--but if you have to say that, maybe you are. He then insisted I take the courtesy car even though I said no multiple times, and told me he'd call in a few hours. I didn't hear from him the rest of the day, or the next day. On day 3 around 1pm, he called saying he needed the courtesy car "now." ASAP I was so uncomfortable to go back I got a guy friend to go with and recorded the conversation. Shane was magically polite. Said he rechecked all of his shops work -- except opening the intake again. Told me that if the next shop found the problem and it was his fault, he'd gladly pay the bill. (I have this recorded.) But it drove exactly the same. My friend and I called again -- his wife said they "wiped their hands of me and my vehicle," and again said they'd pay the bill if it turned out to be something caused by them -- but they were confident it wasn't. Mind you, they Did not answer my calls, I had to use another phone to call. So I took my car to Langness Ent. They called laughing Within 20 minutes, they found the issue: a damaged vacuum line with 3 out of 4 internal wires broken -- one wide open. It was clearly damaged during dis and/or reassembly.I understand and expect things to break on an older car I don't care and wouldn't have-- but it was obviously caused during the repair. They had claimed to test it multiple times. I would've gladly paid to fix it if they had found it. The damage was there the moment I left their lot and just got worse. My car has never driven the same -- months of poor air/fuel ratio did a number on it and caused a tick. **I called nobody answered and I left a voicemail. Asking them to call me before I made a review.. Shane called. I didn't ask them to pay the $130 I simply told him what the problem had been-- I just wanted acknowledgment and basic respect. Instead, Shane got pissy and claimed he "went above and beyond" by checking it three times and loaning me a car (That I tried to refuse multiple times) He asked if I was threatening his business, then said he didn't care if I left a bad review because "people know him," and that he wasn't going to "kiss my ass." (Thats recorded) I do not recommend

He took my money without having the title in hand and never informed me of this serious issue. By law, a dealer must have and transfer a valid title at the time of sale--yet more than 75 days later I still did not receive the title or proper plates. My temporary plate expired after 60 days, leaving me unable to legally drive the car. I called Brad multiple times and even visited the dealership in person. Instead of resolving the problem, he was dismissive and even threatened to call the police on me when I complained. This behavior was unprofessional, intimidating, and deeply disappointing. This business engaged in dishonest and unacceptable practices. I am pursuing all legal remedies and reporting this matter to the Minnesota Attorney General's Office and Driver and Vehicle Services. Save yourself the headache--do not trust this dealer.

This place just recently changed ownership, and the new ownership had a very high bar to achieve just to maintain the service excellence I had received in the past. My 2021 suburban with GM's pathetic failure of a 10 speed has been having shifting issues for a long time. I had taken to the stealerships a few different times while under warranty and ofcourse they claimed it was fine every time. Now that the warranty expired, if failed. GM, of course, is refusing to make things right - so while exploring legal action, I still need to get it back on the road. So I brought my Suburban to Shaun (the new owner of Natco). Shaun and his entire team took excellent care of me, made the repairs and got me back on the road. They have secured theribbon of excellance !! Thanks to all of you and NATCO.

Customer service is top notch…read more Their work on all my vehicles had been great. Never any issues. If I have questions, they're always good and answering them timely. I really like their text message and phone notifications along with a vehicle report that you can click onto the internet via the text message. They do a thorough job and you know exactly where your vehicle stands in terms of maintenance and what needs to be done. They don't push you into buying a service or an extra service... they advise you on how to save money and if a certain item can wait until next time to be worked in with an oil change, etc. The price is reasonable. The waiting area is clean. If they're booked, they often give you the option to drop your car off and they'll squeeze it in throughout the day. I have been able to use a loaner car one time. (You'll need to schedule this about a week in advance) Overall, one of the best places(probably the best)I've had my vehicles serviced in 20 years!
