Would give zero if possible. Saw a car I liked test drove it and bought it. Stated son been driving it for a while and works good. Only had for one month and not even driving it for 2 weeks and already have to have the mechanic look at it. Trust me it s not worth the stress and head ace to save a few bucks don t go here

Had a good time with this dealer. Friend needed his first car and couldn't afford much. He helped us out with getting him a cheap first car that is running pretty good. Yes the vehicles need some things but learn how to fix a vehicle and get an amazing deal.

My wife and I bought our first pre-owned car from Big Guy Auto Sales a few years ago and when it came time for another purchase we found ourselves back. The customer service provided is superb! The facility itself was no-frills, however the vehicles, the service and the care provided were more than I could have hoped for. I had lost my cell phone in the midst of test driving multiple vehicles and Marc even took the time to help us look for it at the dealership and where we had switched drivers on our drives! Marc took into consideration everything that we needed and we couldn't be happier with the car we ended up buying :) Our experience will bring us back again and again because Big Guy's is a no-hassle, high quality & fantastic operation. With each purchase we got a great car at a good price with excellent customer service. Thanks Dan & the gang at Big Guy Auto Sales - great people with great cars and an overall great experience.

I wasn't very impressed by this auto dealership. I checked out one car at their dealership, and was hounded for months by the sales representative despite me telling him repeatedly that I wouldn't be interested in purchasing a vehicle for another 6 months or so. Even after he understood that he'd text and/or call me at least once a day. Besides all that, their prices were very inflated.

I paid cash and had to wait 3 weeks for a title because they left a lien on the vehicle. I was also the one who had to pay for shipping the title back to the dealer and I had to take the title several times to the courthouse even though I they charged me $100 for document processing. They could not even shell out a couple of bucks to pay for priority shipping to send the title back to me These guy's are seriously unprofessional. Buy from them at your own risk.

Owner refused to lower price on POS vehicle my friend bought. Owner is a D _ _ _ ! I would not recommend buying from this used auto dealer to ANYONE! PREYS ON THE POOR WHO ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF TRANSPORTATION! WAY OVER-PRICED FOR VEHICLES THAT SHOULD NOT EVEN DRIVE ON THE ROAD. Sold my friend a vehicle that the Catalytic Converter was cut off of

My husband and I bought a car a few weeks ago.. Cgeck engine light came on before he even got it home.... Had a bad o2 censor and catilatic converter. Now clutch/transmission went out on me on the interstate... There is absolutely no way this was not known. Way to put someone in harms way. Would not recommend!!!!!!! Would rate 0 stars if I could!!!!!

I can say thank you enough! I love his what he collects , and him showing young people some history! I love his business sense.... He collects what he likes (jealous) and sells when he is ready... I will support his business model as much as I can!!!@.

Dan had been a great friend and honest person since I met him 10 years ago. He always has a variety of cars. Just remember not to expect caviar on a Mac N cheese budget.

This dealer, if you want to use that word to describe him, is a crook. He sells his $300 cars for 5x the price. They are never serviced, inspected, tested, or even looked at by a REAL MECHANIC. STAY AWAY!!!! All of his cars a JUNK and will cost you 1000's more than you pay him......that is if it makes it off the lot.

I bought a camper from here. It was just as described and we are happy with our deal. Looked like a lot of older cheaper cars for sale on the lot.
