The man I take care of bought a car here and everyone of the employees we talked to were so nice and helpful. We stopped in there 3 or 4 times and each time we were greeted with a friendly face. And yes he's very happy with the car he purchased. He went back for some very minor things and they went immediately and got what he needed and fixed it. (Brake pedal and windshield wiper part)

The people were great. I got a jeep commander for a great price n I love it so far! They got some of the best prices I've seen, that's why I bought mine from them.

Best auto repair shop around. They ve fixed my vehicles in a timely manner at a fair price.I get free inspections at Luther Ford, but they told me to pass inspection I had to pay $1500 to fix the headlight. I took it to Route 119 auto and they fixed it for $200.

This is the worst car lot I have ever been to they sold me a car that broke down not even one week after purchasing. When I told them the problem they told me to have it towed there so that they could fix the issues but after two days of them having my car I pick it up just for it to break down again the next day. I would not recommend this place to anyone .if you have money to spend please spend it somewhere els. They buy these cars from auctions an sale them as fast as they can without inspections they lick em stick em an get em gone HIGHLY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE!!!!

I have purchased 7 vehicles from them and never had 1 break down. I drive 60 miles min a day, and have driven each car at least 2 years. Right now I drive a 2010 focus purchased from them, 150000 miles and no problems, just keep up with routine maintenance

I bought an suv from here about three weeks or so ago that I knew had some issues but I could work with for the price. When I test drove it I asked the gentleman who was outside with me about some of the issues and they were explained away as must be frozen from the weather (it was freezing that day). However the SUV does have deep issues. All the shocks are bad, the battery is about the size of a golf cart battery and needs replaced, most of the internal wiring is either splitting or cut so windows, lights, doors don t work properly. Many blown fuses, many bulbs out, and absolutely no oil in it. I checked the transmission fluid and it was black as coal. I know how to fix most stuff on a car but dealers should disclose these and not hide them. One issue in particular was the passenger window not working. When asked he said he installed a new motor so it should work after it warms up. However after inspecting it I found split and corroding wires, and the cars original window motor. Now that I ve fixed most of it I like my suv, but had I thought better of it back then, I d pass.

I've researched and read reviews on Joe Shimko and his business.......I don't understand where people get off bashing a business because things didn't go your way! First and foremost when you buy a USED vehicle we all know....you're getting someone elses problems! We ALL trade vehicles in to get something "better"! But that being said this guy and his family (who help run the business) couldn't have treated us any better, if we had been family! They were super helpful with everything from my husband buying a truck and my daughter buying an SUV the same day! My daughter had taken her vehicle to a garage that said she was having issues with it..........Joe immediately sent a rollback in to pick up her vehicle and is working with her on getting it repaired! THAT IS GOOD BUSINESS............so for those of you who drive away and experience problems.....use your brain......ANYTHING can happen! We've traded vehicles in that the dealer has come back an told us the transmission went out on the first test drive after we traded! It can happen to ANY of us......dealers and customers! My husband couldn't get the handle to work on drivers side of his truck when we went to leave....they IMMEDIATELY got another and replaced it before we left! It worked when we looked at the truck....but went bad that quickly....not anyones fault! BUT this dealer took care of it pronto! I would give Route 119 Auto sales a good review any day of the week! If you want a NEW car with NO Problems...(and even then, they happen!) then go to a HIGH PRICED Dealer and drive away with your head held high and your wallet empty! If you want a decent vehicle without paying out the butt.....then go see Joe Shimko at Route 119 Auto Sales......Where people who want something better and get it! Thank you Joe Shimko and your family for ALL your help!

Bought a Jeep compass from here, biggest mistake I made. Spent over 5 grand just to have the check engine light come one 2 days later. Starter went out. And the front control arm rusted off the frame while I was driving, thankfully I was on a road that wasn't busy or else it could of been very dangerous not only for myself but for others!

What I seen online and what was actually there were 2 different stories. Salesman that came with me on a test drive was more interested in how fast the car could go and in ordering his lunch than finding out what my interests were. He assumed what my budget was and was going to have someone show me around the lot. 5 .United later no one came out so I left. I was ready to buy and they did everything to help me walk away.

Bought a used van. Van was in good condition and priced fairly, with a few small, easily repaired issues. Good guys running the place! Super friendly and easy to deal with!

Started working a deal on a vehicle first thing in the morning informed the dealership my loan was approved and I would be there that evening for the vehicle or the next morning if I didn t make it after going to get the loan money received a phone call that someone had put a deposit down on that vehicle and I could come back and look at other vehicles in the same price range horrible business practice luckily went to another dealership found a better vehicle with 50,000 less miles that was $200 cheaper

Owner a complete scum bag and the cars are all rip offs. They barely patch the cars then sell them for more than they are worth. When the break down less than 30 days after purchase they will charge you to fix something that should have never been sold. Do not buy here, we are getting a lawyer to sue them for knowingly selling unsafe. Do not buy here. They will tell you everything is working and all you need is a battery for the keyless entry but really the electric in the doors doesn't work so toy can't lock your car, they will sell you a car that is leaking fluids but they say they have looked the car over and it is fine. You want that hole in your power steering fixed her ready to pay them. Total scam. Report to the bbb.

Do not waste your money here. I purchased a car from here 6 days ago. My gas pedal stopped working out of no where. My car is now at the shop waiting to see if the extended warrenty is gonna cover it. Im no machanic but everyone including the tow truck that came to get me says the transmission went. Route 119 auto told me that all of their cars was look at by mechanics and everything was good. There is no way that they didnt know the transmission was slipping. They are big liers that just want your money. I will be finding a lawyer to sue them. That is very dangerous. My pedals not working could have cause a fatality. Not exceptable at all.

Excellent and very friendly staff. I went there to get a salvage to reconstruction inspection also known as an enhanced safety inspection. Ran into a few problems but the staff were very supportive and helpful in working through the issues.

Went with my dad with the intention of buying a car we saw online. Waited for the employees to get back from their break and when they returned he said there was no way he was going outside and wouldn t even speak to us or look at us. The poor girl who worked in the office looked embarrassed. She said Hey you have some folks here looking at a car and he said Well that sucks and walked into the shop room area. Dirty jerk. Literally wanted to buy a car from you and you walked away hahahah.

Today one of our service men ran off the road and got stuck. After calling Route 119 Auto Sales they responded quickly and only charged enough to cover the fuel they used in travel and to pull out our service truck .Thanks from Dumbauld's Tire Service in Somerset PAalso thanks to Ken Liggett's Auto for the recommendation .

After visiting local GM dealer to get power steering lines replaced twice which they could not acomplish, a neighbor suggested 119 auto. They not only replaced the steering lines in a prompt manner they found a wheel bearing and tierod that big box GM dealer missed at inspection and did all the work at half the price. They are now my go to garage.

Bought an 06 Cobalt as my first car here. The rocker panels were rusted through and patched but were well covered, I was told it had only surface rust had a check engine light, which I was told was only an O2 sensor. Turns out, it was a vacuum leak, both O2 sensors, and vapor valve.

I drove to 119 auto with a vehicle that I wasn't sure would get me back home that day. They gave me more than I expected for it as a trade AND did everything in their power to help me get into something better.
