Amit was helpful and straightforward given the short time. In a matter of a few days, my father and I inquired the price for a car he listed late last month, do a couple test drives, and purchased the vehicle. We were made aware of a faulty parking sensor and gave it a few more days before picking it up to have it fixed which Amit had no problem covering the replacement and repair. I've been driving it almost daily for the past couple weeks since and had no issues and my father also noticed no huge issues.It was great that this all worked out in a short amount of time.Couldn't thank Amit enough.

I will start off by saying Amit was awesome.I wouldn t do business with the mechanic or owner. Purchased a car 5/8/23. Prior to purchase complained about grinding in the breaks. Mechanic said it was normal cause it was sitting for a while. After further complaints, Amit drove it and somehow convinced the mechanic to change them. I was given the car with 15% oil life, and the little oil that was in the car was black. At first I was told that the oil life percentage doesn t mean much, until I offered to send pictures I took of the low amount of oil/ color of it. Also should note that there was a problem with the starter and I had to push to have them purchase the part. Didn t even bother having their mechanic install it due to their reluctance to address the issue.I would like to mention that today, on 6/12/23 I have to replace the 2 break pads they didn t replace and all 4 roters.Overall it s a good car, but the mechanic and owner will try to scam you if you don t stress the importance of the issues.Editing to add pictures- while replacing my roters on 6/18/23 we noticed the very poor condition of the calipers. My husband did not take a picture of the rusted roters prior to replacing them. Switching my review to one star due to this major safety issue.Should be noted that the breaks had issues and was something that was listed as a concern prior to purchase.

I bought a Subaru Forester from them. Although, they assured me head gaskets were good, it started leaking oil and coolant just 2 months after I bought it. Now, I am quoted 3k to replace the head gasket. I am pretty sure they knew about the condition and I was naive as to trust them, without having an independent mechanic check the condition of the car. Now, I am not sure whether the car will last long enough to worth the money the other shops are asking for repairs.Update: I called them and they wanted me to come in to see if they can make a bunch of extra money to try and fix the problem, the vehicle came with (which I don't trust them to do a proper job with). By the way, the vehicle is still leaking oil. I would be a happy customer if they could offer to trade-in this vehicle (+ cash if needed) for a reliable another car (let's say, with no external head-gasket leaks and rust, probably a Toyota). I will wait to see if I get that offer. Until, then I downgrade the rating to a one star from the two stars that I gave them before.

Such a shame! I expected MORE from a dealership! They got a trade-in which I test drove, but it had a check engine light on - they refused to let me drive it down to Auto Zone and have them tell me what the code is. By law, they cannot sell a car that has not passed emissions and they didn't want to deal with a hybrid car with a check engine light on - THEN they told me that they didn't have to fill out a DMV Registration form! So I had to make 3 trips to DMV, one trip back to them to fill out the correct paperwork and THEN I had to bring the car in for emissions testing. They said if I didn't like it, to bring the car back and they'll return my money. These people should be reported to the state! I AM DISGUSTED BY THEIR BUSINESS CONDUCT AND PISS-POOR ATTITUDE NOT INCLUDING SELLING CARS WITHOUT EMISSIONS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS!

Awful and unprofessional. Went to look at a few cars the other day. A very nice kid came out to try and help us and talk to us. He kept getting rudely interrupted by another worker while trying to talk. When we asked if we could take the car for a test drive we were not allowed to because the other worker( who kept interrupting the one helping us) took the dealer plates on a car to go to a doctors appointment. We waited to see if we could take the car out later to only find out the one we wanted wasn't even driveable at the moment. It was a giant waste of time. Very unprofessional and kind of sketchy.

I bought two car, both were in excellent condition. Location, staff behaviour, car choice, pricing everything was perfect. If anybody want to buy used car at best price, I recommend this place for them.

This post is a year late, bought a car from them last May, had it for one month and we had to replace the engine. Be careful when buying, be sure to have your car checked thoroughly before purchasing!

My experience at this dealer has been a rollercoaster. If it were possible to give a negative 10 i would. They lie about cars are on the lot.

When to test drive a car, the car is knocking and they are trying to sell it to me as is without looking at it. I feel this place will scan you save yourself time money and a headache and move on

I bought a car here a few weeks ago I haven t stopped having problems with it and the owner says he s only responsible for engine and transmission he never serviced the car before he gave it to me i had to do my own oil change my own tune up and now I have to changed cracked rotors brake pads and calipers because it s all bad and rusty I personally will never buy another car from here again I rather deal with the larger dealerships where they actually take care of that especially after charging me 10,000 for a car
