I went to Trust Auto looking for a new car for my son. I've never found car shopping to be enjoyable because of the typical high pressure sales tactics. David Neuberth really changed my mind. From the moment we walked in to test drive to a few days later when we got the keys to my son's Nissan Rogue, David was friendly (genuinely friendly not fake friendly) and didn't put any pressure on me. And when I told him we wanted to buy the Rogue, but would be back in a few days to get it, he didn't pressure me to buy on the spot, was very up front with the fees (they charged me the actual registration fees without jacked up dealer fees!) and he had the paperwork all ready to go when we came in to make the purchase. We were out in 20 minutes! David has truly redefined how I view car salesmen and set the bar for what I will expect in the future. Trust Auto really is a top notch business and I have no doubt I will be back when the time comes to purchase another vehicle. If you're in the market for a vehicle, you should definitely visit Trust Auto and ask for David. Truly the best car buying experience I've ever had!

Car was rusted out at the exhaust joint/flange. My mechanic said it would soon not pass inspection. Trust Auto never disclosed it, even when I asked if there was anything they wanted to disclose about the car. Sales said well that's under the car (claimed they didnt know about it.) Uh, that's an inspection point. Dealer acknowledged using a 3rd party inspection company. But never went above and beyond to correct issues. Esp when all their additional fees cover these inspection points. Negotiated over the phone, had to continually follow up on my end. If it was a one time issue, i would imagine they would work hard to correct it. Dealer did want to fix the joint only by welding only (vs replace whole pipe). Finally agreed to a $250 gift card. For us that completely covered the cost of the replacement pipe. Then the gift card NEVER arrived. Other issues with the car: battery died the 2nd day after purchase. the ebrake needed adjusted. speakers were shot. I have absolutely NO TRUST in trust auto. Do not recommend.

We have made 4 trios to these guys from Pittsburgh Pa. Purchased some very cars. Never had a bad experience. Well worth every minute going to buy there.

Mark Russo's agreement to honor original deal

Trust Auto - Mark Russo Just a warning to those interested in working with Trust Auto. They are anything but trustworthy and honest business people. Mark Russo is deceitful and dishonest and his boss, Sandra, even when she was made aware of Mark's dishonestly did not care. Fully story is below. I have text correspondence to corroborate all claims but this site doesn't allow me to add this information. DO NOT do business with this company if you value honesty. Friday 6/17 contacted me asked about car and for addition info and photos. Asking prices was $13.9k. Advertisement noted that we were moving across country and therefore needed to sell the car. 6/17 - sent text with additional photos of car including inside, convertible top including, and specifically pointing out with photo and text crack in back plastic window. Sun 6/18 Mark offered $10k but I needed to follow up with a few interested retail purchases. Wed 6/22 confirmed and accepted offer of $10,000. I communicated that we were moving across the country in very early July. Mark communicated that their mechanic would come to see the vehicle on Sunday 6/26. Between 6/22 and 6/26 four retail buyers contacted me but I told them the car was sold Sun 6/25- mechanic arrives. After taking with the company he informed me that due to the crack in the back windshield (that I specifically noted a week earlier in a picture and called out in writing to Mark in a text) they would only offer $9k. He was clearly embarrassed by this and seemed to indicate that this type of problem is not uncommon and unfortunately he ends up being put in the middle. Sun 6/25- texted Mark in the evening about the bad position he put me in "a crappy spot, because I'm just about out of time with our move. Given the information you asked for, the photos and info I provided, and the deal we made based on that that info, I really hope you do the right thing here. I had subsequent inquiries on both cars that I told the people they were sold. Maybe that was just stupid on my part but I thought we had a deal." Mark's response that night: "Yes, we have it still, I'll try to figure out." Mon 6/26- In the morning Mark's "boss," Sandra, called to explain the situation, that Mark and informed her of the problem and based on the cracked windshield they could only offer $9k. When I asked her if she was aware that I had previously informed and sent pictures of the back windshield she said that she was unaware of that and Mark had not completely informed her, but it didn't matter, even when I offered to send her a copy of the conversation. Long story short: Trust Auto is anything but trustworthy. Deceitful business practices especially knowing I had no time for alternatives buyers who I had turned away based on the deal Mark Russo made. BBB warning to those interested in working with Trust Auto. They are anything but trustworthy and honest business people. Mark Russo is deceitful and dishonest and his boss, Sandra, even when she was made aware of Mark's dishonestly did not care. Fully story below. I have text correspondence to corroborate all claims but cannot add pics. DO NOT do business with this company if you value honesty.

REPAIR BILL OF A CAR I BOUGHT FROM THIS SHADY DEALER

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!!! By far THE WORST dealership I've ever dealt with in 12 years of owning over 8 different cars. The jeep they sold me should never have passed a Maryland State Inspection which are the exact words from a Master Mechanic at Tate in Frederick Maryland. This dealership definitely does not stand by their cars and I would give them 0 stars if possible. I am in the military and they knew I would be driving out of state to be stationed in Florida the next day. The car had issues within 50 miles of leaving the lot which is when Tate did a full inspection and found multiple inspection failures that were obviously not recent issues and had been there awhile. I had the car inspected by one of Floridas biggest Jeep dealers and they said the same thing, and it came back with a $9,000 estimate (See Attached Photo) to get the car up to standards. When I called the dealer they were extremely unhelpful and offered $400 for my "troubles" as they said they could get everything fixed for cheaper by their service guy, except that same service guy who changed the air filter and wipers on the car couldn't even do that, as the air filter was installed incorrectly and both wiper blades flew off on the highway. This place is an absolute JOKE, please do yourself a favor and turn around and go anywhere else. I'll be waiting on my Better Business Bureau complaint in the meantime.

Parking brake disintegrated $3k in repairs .  DO NOT TRUST AUTO!

This dealership does have some decent inventory, but every member of their staff could use some serious customer service training. They lie, over promise and under deliver. They drag their heels on simple tasks and then act as if they have done you a favor simply by doing what they are there for. My own salesman David P. Seems to think hanging up on his customer is a sound business decision which he then defends with lies. You could be just like me, and wish that not just hindsight was 20/20! I wouldn't recommend them to anyone! The ABSOLUTE EPITOME OF HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! On a final note, after dragging heels on shipping the vehicle, upon arriving to pickup the vehicle, none of the paperwork was completed except where they got paid.(Finance) After a 5 hour drive that they knew was being made, none of the DMV/Tag paperwork was done and had to wait around. They denied knowing anything about a second key, despite it being pictured in the online auction which they had conveniently removed. Took their sweet time locating it and mailing it. The vehicle had problems within 30 days and the extended warranty company they sell is complete garbage that no shop will work with. The showroom shine faded in days, so do yourself a favor and take any vehicle from them and give it a proper bath before purchase, because they only want it to look well polished enough for you to sign! This company is a key reason used car dealers have a bad reputation!!!!

I bought a 2012 Mazda 3 from AutoDot in May 2021, and wanted some experience with the car before…read morereviewing. Five months and 5,000 miles in, I give AutoDot five stars. Although I am a shade-tree mechanic, I didn't look forward to dealing with a used-car salesperson. Modern cars are complex, there's a lot that the seller can hide or overlook. In my case, owner Oz Ozcam and my sales guy (Mike Friese) were open and transparent. I got a good feeling about the integrity of this outfit, and was willing to pay at the KBB guideline for that (AutoDot is no-haggle). Be sure the car comes with everything you expect (like a spare key, floor mats) -- you *can* ask for missing items. A week after purchase, an electric-window switch went out, AutoDot drop-shipped me the part... for an As-Is sale, they didn't have to do that, appreciated. Since then, the car has performed well. I continue to recommend AutoDot to people who don't know a lot about cars, and are looking for a 5-10 year old model that's mechanically sound, at a fair price. Used cars being used cars, some reviewers are bound to be unhappy... but take this as one customer's thumbs-up.

I really wanted to love this dealership--after all, I purchased my "beauty" from here…read more After months of searching online, I finally found her--the exact car I'd been wanting, in the perfect exterior and interior colors. The moment my husband and I pulled onto the lot, I told the salesperson I only wanted to test drive that one vehicle. No other car. I provided my driver's license to them and we were off to test drive around Sykesville for about 30 minutes. Perfect experience so far. I fell in love immediately. When we returned, I told the salesperson we were ready to buy. There were a few minor issues with the vehicle, but they were covered under the 30-day warranty, so I wasn't too concerned. Here's where things shifted a bit. I paid cash for the vehicle--no financing involved. Despite this, they didn't offer any discount, not even $100 or $200. That surprised me. I understand times are different now and margins are tighter, but it still left a bit of a sour taste. Especially considering I wrote a check for the full asking price, including taxes, title, registration, and all fees. Also worth noting: I referred a coworker's boyfriend to this dealership before I even bought my "beauty". He purchased a car from them a week or two prior to my purchase. Yet, there was no referral bonus!! Again, not a dealbreaker--but something I feel should be mentioned. Another detail to be mindful of: Maryland caps the dealer processing fee at $800. They charged $785, which is legal--but they also charge tax on that amount. So while it looks like $785 on paper, it ends up being more like $832. Just something to be aware of when budgeting your finances. To be fair, the dealership did address the minor issues I mentioned earlier within the 30 day warranty, and I appreciate that. But I do feel those problems should've been resolved before listing the vehicle for sale or offering it for a test drive. All in all, would I buy another vehicle from them? Maybe, possibly. They have solid inventory and are locally owned, which I like. But I can't ignore that I was a cash buyer who referred another customer--and I didn't feel like that was valued. A small gesture would have gone a long way. Even just a modest discount or a thank-you referral credit might have made me a long-term, loyal customer. Just something to consider if you're planning to buy from here. Great cars, but I wish the overall customer service had matched the quality of the inventory.
