Do not buy your vehicles from this place. Asked the owner about the condition of the vehicle. He said everything was excellent. Made it out and noticed the frame was rattle canned, has excessive rust, and had caulking in some areas to cover up rust. Engine bay had lots of rust, they cover up issues with lots of tire shine as well. Cracked windshield, bald tires, and body damage just to name some things that were not disclosed. Drove out 2.5hrs one way for nothing. Seller lacks honesty, be sure to have their vehicles inspected by a professional, especially if you lack general automotive knowledge.

This is an excellent place to find a reliable and budget vehicle for whatever your needs may be. They have many options, even if the website doesn't show each option, as they are always changing their inventory. They are very transparent with you and will be more than willing to help and assist you in any way shape or form. We recently bought a vehicle from here and it has been an excellent experience overall. This was a cheap and well maintained vehicle and it is obvious that someone had taken care of if in the past. If there are any problems, they are more than willing to go out of their way to fix it to ensure customer satisfaction. This is a great place to buy cars from, especially if you are looking for something to get you from college and back.

Had been looking for a used truck for awhile now.. messaged Mike asked of the one in question was still available and it was.. took a few days to get down there to look at it. Mike and his technician are very easy to talk to and deal with! Unfortunately after purchasing said truck I found a broken leaf spring Mike offered to pay for my cost of the spring! 12 year old used vehicle's will have "issues" but I am happy with my purchase and would go again in the future

Don t trust this guy to sell you a vehicle. After I agreed to buy the truck he informed me he didn t have a title and that he d get it in the mail and I could pick it up in the coming weeks. He told me he doesn t concern myself with little issues after pointing out anything. He claimed virtually no rust on the truck, and after I get home my mechanic tells me the frame has poorly been patched together. He doesn t care about you or these vehicles he s just trying to make a quick buck.

My husband and I had a good experience purchasing a used vehicle. The owner, Mike, is very personable and in the short time we interacted, felt like we were buying a car from a good friend. He is honest about his work and really cares about getting you into a safe and reliable car. Would recommend!

He s a patchwork con man. First of all he sells by owner on Craigslist which is 100% misleading and a lie as he doesn t even own the vehicles.. he subs them from an online auction. When I asked about the water pump on the highlander he said those are usually done way before this mileage ... ok well is it done? I m now looking at a bad head gasket hence why I m making the post.Long story short I bought the Toyota WITH NO TITLE IN HAND just some copy of the auction title. And it s an actual miracle I made it back 5 hours home. The water pump that should have been replaced was leaking half my coolant overnight. Mind you this happened weeks after I got it home. Since then it s been nothing but issues here and there some big some small. Oh and the car was FAR from immaculate condition as he claimed. He s a joke.

Owner has no customer service skills.Extremely rude, pushy and lies.Caught him in a lie about a red Mustang convertible he was trying to sell.The mustang was my Brother-in-laws old car and had a multitude of problems.The Shack owner claimed he knew the previous owner of the Mustang and it was an original low mile car in great condition....Nope!, big lie! When i confronted him on this lie he hung up on me and refused to answer. That speaks for itself doesn't it!

The guy from four corners sent me to the shack for worms. When i got there there was a dog inside but the door was locked, im assuming the owner in the gay bro tank then stepped out of a truck and said we are closed. Then he asked me what i needed. I said worms. He daid nope were closed. Didnt want to make a an effort to even open the door and sell me worms. He said in an unpleasant tone "weve been closed every tuesday for two years but noone seems to know that". Well sorry sir im not from around here and there is no sign so how am i supposed to know that? I will never try to do business from this place and i will never send anyone to do so.
