I recently purchased a 2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio TI Sport from Roadster Salon and had a wonderful experience. Ray was very responsive, great service and I got the best deal on the vehicle. They were kind enough to do maintenance before delivery of the vehicle to my house even though I live an hour away. I would recommend them 100% and will definitely purchase cars from them again in the future.****************************************************************Google does not let me do another review BUT I wanted to let people know that as I said in my previous review, I did purchased another vehicle from them, a 2023 BMW X1. Ray and his team have been amazing during the whole process. I will definitely give Ray a call when its time to replace my current daily driver.Thank you and your team!

Great car great experience. We purchased a BMW i3 from the Roadster Salon and the whole process was extremely smooth. The car was ready to test drive on a Sunday. Honest easy deal with Ray and all paperwork was ready to go when we picked the car up. He fixed a few flaws and the car was like new when we drove it home.

Ray is great. I bought an Alfa 4c from him.He really went the extra mile. I did not expect his company to perform a major service including tightening all bolts, oil change wax, etc. He even thought to give me a temporary tag so I can take my new car for a ride before I title it.I can't rave more about the service Ray and his company performed.

Ray is your guy!!!!! He helped me get my 1994 Ferrari completely restored. The guys at Roaster did a great job. From renewing the cushions and leather on the seats to all mechanical and electrical work. Everything was done properly and the service throughout the whole process was great. I would highly recommend.

From beginning to end, our dealings with Ray and Roberto were nothing but professional and helpful. Our vehicle was delivered to South Carolina this week. It s perfect. Exactly what we expected. Excellent customer service and work. Highly recommend!

I randomly discovered Roadster Salon while browsing used Fiat 500 Abarths on CarGurus, and was pleasantly surprised that a restoration shop that worked on classic Alfas, Fiats, Maseratis, and such also offered rebuilt Abarths. But the team there is great--no pressure to buy, everything was super transparent, and the support has been wonderful.

It was a two year journey that ended in the perfect car for us! We love our 1983 Fiat Spider restored convertible built just the way we wanted. Ray did an amazing job. If you are looking for a new, old car Roadster Salon can deliver.

I have been looking for a Fiat 500e for 1-1/2 years. I happily stumbled upon Roadster Salon during a recent internet search. If you want to buy a Fiat 500e, you should stop searching the internet and contact Roadster Salon. Ray made the process so easy, I got a beautiful car with low mileage and time remaining on the warranty. Ray promptly answered all my questions and got the car shipped to me quickly and cost effectively. When I received the car, it was in beautiful condition and ready to drive. I have only had the car for 2 days but I am in love! Please take my advice. If you want to save yourself time and headache AND get a fair deal, call Roadster Salon.

Roadster Salon did a great job getting my vehicle ready including adjustments after. Totally professional and spot on, my 1986 Alfa looks and rides fantastic. Totally recommend them to anyone interested in Fiat, MG, Alfa, or similar vehicle. They know their stuff.

Ray and team have been incredibly helpful and professional during my classic 124 Spider journey the past few years. From initial purchase, additional insights and services prior to delivery, and even follow-up questions and help years after the initial transaction, Ray and the Roadster Salon team have been amazing partners to work with. Very professional, courteous and quick to assist. Everything was handled remotely since I'm based in FL and it couldn't have been a better experience. Would not hesitate to recommend or work with again in the future. Thanks Ray and team!

This was one of the best automotive purchasing experiences that I ve had. Not only did Ray go out of his way to answer all my questions but went the extra mile (actually 20) to ensure I could have a proper test drive to feel confident in my purchase. When we returned to sign the documents we ended up chatting an extra hour and half. Absolutely recommend doing business here. Thanks again, Ray!

I put my 1982 Spider on auction at Bring a Trailer, and Roadster Salon won the auction. Ray was on the ball, paid up right away, and came to fetch the car. It was a pleasure doing business with him. I was sad to see it go, but I know it went to a good home.

My wife and I recently purchased a 1974 Alfa Romeo gtv from Roadster Salon. This vehicle was not something Ray and his team usually get into but they did all of the research and extra work to make this a very special car. Numerous times along the way something unexpected came up that had to be addressed and the guys at Roadster Salon handled it without complaint. Very impressed with the professionalism and commitment from everyone who works there.

My husband gave up his toy car a few years ago and had always reminisced on replacing it with something similar. He found what he wanted and had been researching the model for over a year. I had been looking for the electric Fiat model with a moonroof to surprise my husband (because there is no convertible model, at least not after 2017) I found one at Roadster Salon. There are a very limited quantity of these on the market now, so I contacted Ray immediately. Ray was amazing and patient with us, while we secured financing. My husband has had the car for 2 months now and is extremely happy! He loves it- I am so glad that we went with Roadster Salon! Ray knows what he has in his shop, he knows his cars, he has great understanding in the industry and I wish there were more dealers like Roadster Salon! Very professional with experience! Thank you.

I bought a 2017 Fiat 500e from Roadster Salon a few weeks ago and my car has been great! Ray (co-owner) was very straightforward and helpful and gave me a fair deal. I enjoyed dealing with him and if you're looking for Fiat 500e cars or classic restored cars, you'll also enjoy taking to Ray. I'm a first time car buyer and Ray took his time to give me some good information, which convinced me to come out and see the car. More importantly, he made the process easy and I felt like I got a good deal. Give him a call and at the very least, you'll get some good information on whatever car he has you're interested in!

I had an amazing experience working with Roadster Salon on my MINI Cooper purchase.They were always responsive to my calls with a very positive and transparent communication, this continued when i went to see and test drive the car, they explained me every single detail in a very realistic way and the car was exactly in the same condition as they posted. They were very collaborative and helped me to fix some minor things on the car.The paperwork process was very smooth and quick, during the process no delays, no surprises and they kept giving me updates.When i went to pick up the car, it was ready to go, oil changed and cleaned.Roadster Salon is not your typical pre-owned car seller, they are car enthusiasts with a lot of expertise and capabilities, moreover very trustworthy to do business.I am very happy with my purchase and the positive shopping experience. Thank you Roadster Salon!

One of the first things I learned about the guys at Roadster Salon was of their unsurpassed integrity and honesty. Also, everyone there truly wants each customer to be delighted with their car and it shows in the finished product. I ve dealt with Roadster Salon over a number of years, from the original purchase to sending the car back to them for a number of upgrades and have always been very happy with the advice and help I ve gotten from Ray and Rob in creating exactly the car I d envisioned. As for the car itself, the materials and workmanship are first-rate, and everyone raves about its beauty wherever I go. And the driving experience! The ride and handling, the exhaust note and the tactile sensations from the controls and interior surroundings never fail to bring a smile to my face! And always lots of smiles, waves and thumbs-up from other drivers! Pure joy.

I have a totally custom rebuilt Fiat 124 Spider. I loved the whole build process and ability to customize unique aspects of the car while retaining all the tradition of the car. Ray and team were positive can do partners and gave great advice and ideas to the build. I love the car and get all the raves from people who see it for the first time. The fit and finish better than the one I owned in 1977.I am currently having a modern turbo being added to the engine and can t wait to feel the road again in this classic sports car all thanks to the wonderful folks at Roadster Solon. Highly recommend!!!

We worked with Ray and Rob buying our first electric car. Wonderful guys to work with and every detail was perfect. They even let us know about an Illinois electric car rebate we didn t know about. We love our Fiat 500e!! Thank you!

I had little hope of finding an early 70 s 124 Spider in good condition until I stumbled on Roadster Salon s website and gave them a call. After a long conversation with Ray, he sent me some photos of a beautifully restored 71 Spider that was available immediately. I bought it that day. It exceeded my expectations! My first drive was just like I remember 50 years ago! I highly recommend Ray and his team at Roadster Salon for integrity, craftsmanship and customer service.

Went to Roadster Salon to shop for a classic convertible without much conviction about budget or brand. Ray and Rob spent a great deal of time holding my hand discussing their restoration process, options and price points. They had a lot of patience, and answered all my questions with a smile. Their expertise and enthusiasm was impressive. Clearly these are guys who love what they do, and committed to providing the best service possible. At no point did I feel pressured or obligated. Most importantly, Ray aligned our expectations with what was possible for how much we wanted to spend. Looking forward to putting the top down this Spring. Great experience. A+

Ray and Rob gave us the greatest experience of buying a car! They did what they promise and even went above and beyond!! The price is exactly what they advertise with no BS additions. They practice excellence here!

Few things in life are "worth the wait" and Roadster Salon's restoration of my 1983 Fiat Pininfarina is one of them. The car is immaculate. The leather seats are a complete match to the original and the burled wood dash is stunning. The finish of the paint is as if the car was buffed by hand. The engine compartment, the same. I am certain that your beautiful restoration of an Italian classic will bring years of smiles and joy, as is my own.

Roadster Salon has sourced batteries for a few of my vehicles recently. I was extremely impressed with their attention to my needs. Their technical knowledge is amazing, so much that when it was time for my wife s new daily driver to come home, I had them do a quick once over on the vehicle.The Roadster Salon team has a passion for what they do, which makes it an experience!

Ray @ Roadster Sal�n turned my nightmare into the happiest car buying experience of my life. He put my mind at ease from day 1.Took my beloved but embattled Beemer and delivered on the best Fiat 500e I could ever have hoped for under the circumstances. He beat all prices on both my trade-in and my purchase and had my Fiat delivered to my doorstep. I felt he was completely transparent in his dealings with me and on top of a terrific car buying experience I have complete confidence in bringing my new purchase to him for any service and maintenance It may need in the future.His enthusiasm about the car brand and intimate knowledge of the engineering and technology was a pleasure to encounter. I can t think of any other time I ve felt completely satisfied and confident making such a big purchase. Good car, good company, good business practices - good grief - don t think twice! You won t be sorry!
