Joe

Had a problem with a car i just purchased I was looking on AAA auto mechanics -- Tim's was a the top of the list I went over asked a lot of questions -- OK had my car towed there a few days later went and picked up my car ,I think they did a great job I feel even better and safe about driving the car know.They are were I will be going from know on.

This is how the engine is "broken" and to repair it'll be 472$ extra.

These guys are the worst. I know you're desperate if you're here, but save yourself trouble and wait for a quality mechanic.

I don't usually write reviews for bigger companies, but I wanted to share my positive experience at…read morethis particular branch. The process of getting my immediate quote online, showing up a week later (without an appointment), checking in with my quote code in 1 minute, waiting for 15 minutes for them to generate paperwork, signing paperwork for 5 minutes, waiting 5 minutes for the check, and then cashing my check with my phone app in the store was seamless and pleasant. To top it off, the young lady helping me ordered me a Lyft back to my house. This last gesture of kindness is the whole reason I recommend this place to others. Someone was actually paying attention to a person who just sold a car and brought their bike to ride back home for an hour in scorching heat, so they decided to help, which in turn made my day.

BUYER BEWARE: "CarMax Certified" Truck Failed in Hours, Leaving Me Out $27k Cash…read more I purchased a "CarMax Certified" 2022 Nissan Frontier (48,000 miles | VIN: 1N6ED1EKXNN614393) from the Clackamas location for over $27k IN CASH, expecting a reliable vehicle for my family and business. Our salesperson, Ian, was professional and great to work with, but the confidence ended less than two hours later. While driving home over the Oregon Coast Range with my 7-year-old daughter, the transmission began slipping, hesitating, and violently jerking forward at highway speeds. A local mechanic inspected it, and Nissan later confirmed a major transmission failure. Worse, Nissan found clear evidence that the transmission had been previously tampered with, removing the factory warranty coverage and throwing responsibility entirely back onto CarMax. The Corporate Runaround: Instead of standing behind their "certified" vehicle, CarMax has subjected me to a week of exhausting escalation and dodging: Service Manager John (Beaverton): Has held the truck for 6 days without providing a diagnosis. He doesn't return calls, ignores Nissan's service department, and literally laughed at the mechanical failure. Operations Manager Elliot: Recited a rigid corporate script to explain why he won't help. General Manager Eugene (Clackamas):Friendly enough, but completely lacks the authority to resolve the issue. The "Solutions" Offered: CarMax has verbally offered completely unacceptable options, refusing to put any of their extensions or promises in writing: 1. A sketchy repair: Forcing me to accept a truck with a known history of tampering, zero Nissan powertrain warranty, and a used/rebuilt LKQ transmission (which Nissan mechanics advised is a dangerous long-term solution). CarMax refused to include a MaxCare warranty to offset this massive risk. 2. An indefinite replacement search:Waiting forever for them to source a truck from across the country, while expecting *me* to pay the shipping costs for their failure. They refuse to do a fair price exchange for comparable trucks already available locally. 3. The Refund Trap: They told me it will take up to 10 days just to get my cash back. The Bottom Line: Vehicles break, but the way CarMax handles it is the real nightmare. Because they are holding onto my $27,000 cash for over a week, I am physically trapped without transportation and completely blocked from buying a reasonable replacement vehicle elsewhere. They gave me a small SUV rental that doesn't fit my business needs, meaning I am actively losing work income every single day while they sit on my money. My Advice: Do not trust Carmax. I thought I bought peace of mind; instead, I bought a $27k project, a week-long fight, and a complete loss of my transportation and livelihood.

She got excited. We looked up some on carguru and Platt came up in our search. Their place was few miles down the road so we went down thinking we'd be turned away. Peter was more than happy to accommodate. He let us test drive a couple different models including a Bolt. It really opened our eyes to these vehicles. He talked with us after the test drives and was happy to answer questions, give advice and info on all types of EV's (this was after close mind you). We weren't quite ready to purchase a car yet so we left. Peter's non-pushy attitude and kindness stuck with us. About two months later we decided to pull the trigger. I couldn't think of any other place to look for an EV. We had a list of options we wanted and Peter accommodated us and pulled a bunch of cars from their list. We test drove a couple AWD Nissan Aryia Engage+ e-4orce and really liked them. We went ahead and purchased one. It was a lease return with 15k miles. The EV was in great condition and the price was right. They were generous with our trade in and all the paperwork was very swift. I think we were out of there in under 2 hours. We highly recommend Platt Auto if interested in an used EV. You wont be sorry. They have a lot of different models to choose from.

The future of car sales by handling everything online is so much more convenient which carvava is proving as effective tools to the old model of in person car sales and financing.

In short: My advice if you buy from Toyota of Gladstone: check every number, compare everything to…read moreyour original quote, and make sure your deposit is actually credited! Long version: Buying a car is always daunting, and unfortunately my experience buying a 2026 Camry from Toyota of Gladstone reinforced why. I initially inquired about a used Camry but switched to a new 2026 model. The salesperson sent me a link to the exact car I wanted, and I put down a $1,000 deposit while waiting for it to arrive. The deposit paperwork referenced the wrong vehicle, but I was told not to worry--it had been applied to the correct car. The salesperson was sweet, friendly, and never pressured me, which I appreciated. But once I decided to buy, the process became incredibly confusing. I was presented with multiple versions of paperwork with different numbers. The MSRP was wrong. The Toyota-offer price was wrong. The salesperson went back and forth to someone else easily a dozen times trying to get the paperwork corrected. I eventually started taking pictures of the purchase agreements and comparing them to my original quote myself because I couldn't keep track of what was changing. I eventually made it home with the new car...but woke up in the middle of the night realizing they had never applied my $1,000 deposit to the purchase agreement. I contacted the salesperson the next morning and was simply told it would be refunded in 3-5 days. No apology. Had I not caught the mistake myself, it's clear I would have overpaid by $1,000. Overall, the salesperson was low-pressure and responsive, but the paperwork and purchase process were sloppy, confusing, and riddled with errors. Also, I was promised to get copies of everything I signed, but wasn't provided with them at the end of the day. After three hours of confusion and frustration, I was exhausted and just wanted to leave. As I was leaving, they reminded me, "Don't forget to give us a five-star review!" After spending three hours sorting through incorrect and changing paperwork--and then discovering the next morning that my $1,000 deposit hadn't even been applied to the purchase--I have to admit, that request aged pretty poorly.

Our granddaughter and her boyfriend both needed cars so we began scouring the internet for used…read morecars in their price range. You hear about the horror stories about used car dealerships, and my wife and I are old enough to prove the point. We hate shopping for cars. We encountered Ruby's Motors when browsing AutoTrader, They were well rated and we thought we would give them a try. We were a bit concerned when their gate was closed and we were instructed to call a phone number listed on a sign on the fence. Don't be put off by this. It was well worth the effort. Ruby's is a husband-and-wife team comprised of two very professional people. They are very particular of the vehicles that they offer and take great effort to ensure that they are in good condition and clean. We ended up purchasing a Honda Odyssey at Ruby's for our granddaughter's boyfriend. We would have purchased a car for our granddaughter as well however we were looking for a CRV or RAV4 and they did not have any on the lot during our visit. They went above and beyond expectations during the documentation phase, providing information and potential problems to look for in the vehicles we were looking for. These are honest people, providing the same level of service that they would want themselves. I highly recommend them as an honest and professional dealership and would not hesitate to use them again if we need another vehicle in the future. I can't say that about many car dealerships, new or used.
