Despite the reviews, I had a great interaction with the people at amps auto. I purchased a 4runner from them. They worked with me on the price. Had no issues at all and am very glad I went with it. Turned out to be a great vehicle. They were very nice to me and did all paperwork fast to get it done the same day. I think a lot of people that buy cars that have trouble, blame the people they purchased it from, when they should be blaming the manufacturer of the vehicle. Some cars are pure garbage and not made to last. Thanks amps auto. Will return if you have something I'm interested in!

THIS MAN IS A LAIR. Very deceitful. We had the vehicle delivered bc we live in Columbia. FELO told my husband NOTHING was wrong with the vehicle. The tow truck guy was very sketchy. WOULD NOT TAKE THE CAR OFF THE TOW TRUCK until we gave him all the money. We get the truck off and the man drives off and turns OFF his PHONE. As soon as we get in the vehicle we just paid 5k for won t even shift out of 1st gear & A list of various other very serious problems. The owner won t call us back and we Still don t have the title.HE IS A CROOK.

I bought a car from here a few months ago & it was the worse decision! I am a single mother of 3, I was looking to buy a stable vehicle for us. During the test drive, things were smooth. But, I hesitated. They kinds did this good guy:bad guy thing, where one was like , nobody would get a deal this good & the other guy is like well, if she doesn t want let her go, someone else is coming to see it tomorrow . I actually like the model , I was told the car only had a few cosmetic issues ( like torn seat, the dvd didn t play etc ) things that did not effect the functionality of the car. I was told if issues came up, they had a buddy car shop that would fix anything free in the first 30 days. So, I ended up buying , unfortunately. I live about an hour away. On the way only, I started noticing some skipping. The place had just closed, nobody was there after purchasing. So I reached out the next day. They said it likely just needs an oil change. I took it in to inquire an oil change & was told the oil pan was cracked and it was really bad! Oil was leaking anywhere I was parked :/ I reached back out to let them know & I was told to take it to the shop because I still got a really good deal on the car :/ and that they WILL NOT take it back. While out another day within that first week. The car would NOT drive forward if stopped on an incline. I would her to place car in reverse and let it roll backwards ( bc it wouldn t allow me to press the gas into level ) and the basically floor it pass the incline in order to not be stuck. They wouldn t take it back, there buddy shop refused the free service that was promised. More issues have surfaced. This vehicle, only three months later, doesn t stay crunk. My and my children , unfortunately were out when it decided to stop operating and I had to call someone to come get us & have the car brought later , back home. It stopped operating while on an incline , in the middle of the road & didn t crank again since. I have paid an extra $1500 trying to repair and it s still not operating. Likely will be another $1000 for the next issue and who knows what else will come one after at this point. I could ve gotten something off a real dealership for the money being put into it :/ DO NOT BUY FROM HERE!!!!!!!! I m still trying to recovering financially from this smh

. They sold me a stolen car! 7 months later they still cannot send me the title because the DMV says there s a lien on it from a different company with a different persons name. and amps auto never owned it! MARCO doesn t legally own any of the cars on the lot. And was completely unprofessional even using racial slurs when he got impatient . Stay far away !

STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!!!! Wish I could give a negative star review!!! Bought a 2007 Lexus is 250 for my daughters sweet 16 . Had to jump it off to start it should ve been my warning but I disregarded it. Next I test drove it and it broke down on the test drive lol so I took it to o Reilly s so they said it only need an alternator. So they say get it fixed we ll reimburse. So i purchased the car cash at almost 6500 and put the alternator on and went back up there and they laughed at me . Told me they would call me when they would pay me back. Then to add to insult the car had a fuel rail issue that is costing me over 2k to fix. Definitely the worst experience of my life with a car lot. I wanna go do something to these boys so bad but my ol lady don t want me to go back to jail but omm if I see anyone of these guys at a auction or church anywhere it s on site purchase date was December 2022 still having problems in Feb 2023

Bought a 2006 Cadillac dts, was told the car had no issues.. upon getting the vehicle back to my hometown of Valdese NC, I noticed a headlamp was out. Took the car to be evaluated at a dealership and was told the car needs bare minimum 2grand worth of work. I've put almost 4k into it since. The power steering rack and pignon as well as power steering hoses and pump need to be replaced, as well as a headlight and a few other things. I was told before driving over a hundred miles that I would receive the tilewhen I purchased the car. Took roughly a month but I did get my title eventually. Now the rear main seal is leaking oil, a coil pack needs to be replaced as well as traction control and stabilitrak systems needing to be fixed. If it's not one thing with this car it's another, I would not buy from these swindlers. Spend your hard earned money elsewhere

Do not buy a car from this man. Told me the engine and transmission were perfect I drove the car it seemed fine. As soon as I sign the paper work and get in the car to leave the check engine light comes on. The owner has already left with my money out the back door and told me I was out of luck the car is mine now. It s now been 2 weeks and I still haven t received the title for the car and I have been told multiple times that the title has been mailed off.

Bought a car from them 2 months ago paying cash. They said they did not keep the titles on the property and it would be sent out within 2 days. Left with all paperwork that they gave me. After repeated phone calls, ignored messages, and a negative review on the fb i finally get an answer. Title shows up 3 days later. I go to the tag office and all the paperwork they gave me was wrong. Nightmare restarts. Still can't get an answer will not answer the phone. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM, I KNOW I WON'T MAKE THE MKSTAKE AGAIN.

Please DO NOT buy a car from this man! When I test drove one of their cars, everything seemed fine. As soon as I left the dealership service engine light comes on the car's dashboard. Just to find out later that the car has an oil leak. This guy will give you his word that the car is in perfect condition, which is obviously not true. All their cars are LEMONS! they are a corrupt dealership, they simply hide the car issues, just to make them look like there's nothing wrong. They are nothing else but a bunch of scammers, PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS DEALERSHIP!

Everyone please do not be fooled by Marco. I drove 2 hours to look at one of his vehicles and it was clear that the car had been wrecked due to the air bag being replaced even though he told me clean title and no accidents and there was literally water in the frame of the car that you could hear when you hit the breaks. When I had asked about any issues beforehand and was told no. This man will over charge you for a half done car. Please do some extra research about the vehicle itself and understand what to look for if you buy from him. Luckily I had owned the same car before so I knew exactly how the car was supposed to be

They sold us a used Audi for cash and they let us pull off lot with headlight not working thought it was just a bulb problem but it s electrical and we told them and they don t care I would not recommend buying from them because what happen to the customer coming first they should have had it working properly before we left and our left turn signal doesn t work up front due to electrical wow just can t believe them

This place is horrible they sold me a broken car and I brought it back a hour later and they would not give me my money back Ali Hassan is a clown and said that I couldn t talk to his manager because He is on vacation and when my New car broke down again and started leaking fluids in their parking lot they said I needed to tow it immediately or they would call the county. This is a joke of a car dealership and no one there knows what their doing.

Worst experience of your life. Run a car fax on any vehicle they have and it won't match the ad they have posted. Their cars are lemons. Shouldn't be in buisness. Don't waste your money

Worst person to get your car from . Never go here. Only fixes up the trucks/cars just for them to look like their ready to be sold. Cars have oil leaks and and need tunes ups. He clears the check engine lights before you come so it looks like there's no lights til you leave with the "trustworthy" vehicles ! Please save your money and go somewhere else ! Thank you God bless

I made an apt to see a truck at 9 a.m. on Friday. Saturday morning I texted Sarah to remind her of our apt. No response. So we decided to come down the 30+ min anyway, presuming someone would be there. We got there and looked around for a few minutes and no one came. We left and I texted Sarah saying it wasn't good customer service to not show up. She texted back a while later and in part said "no need to start a fight, lol" (whatever that meant) and to have a good day. Then she blocked me. After reading a lot of bad reviews on line, I think we dodged a bullet on getting a lemon or not being treated well.

I purchased a 2011 Ford Fiesta and was extremely pleased with the customer service and patience the owners provided. I will definitely be looking to shop with them again in the future as I ve never had a more pleasant car purchasing experience.

Got a great 2008 Honda Civic. My credit isn't the best and they still hook me up. Love my payments and the fact I can pay online.

Will sell you leaky vehicles and LEMONS, over priced trucks and cars that you have to invest the same amount you spent to fix, wouldn't trust him to sell me a power wheels let alone something to carry my family around. Marco is incompetent and scamming.
