Lousy.

Lousy. Dealer did not called me back so, after 3, 4 days I decided to change my search with CarGurus. There I found a new offer and proceeded with it. Thanks.

Unprofessional employees and poor finance dpt

I have mixed feelings about this Dealership, but in general the experience was very poor. Carlos in finance and Irwin in sales both lied and provided poor customer Service. Carlos assured me my credit inquiry would only get hit once but was actually hit 3 times on my initial visit and I am still fighting with the credit bureau to have removed. Then when I returned to sign my paperwork he mentioned he had to run it again and it would be a soft inquiry because I was already pre approved. NOPE, another hard inquiry. 4 hard inquiries total to purchase the exacts same single vehicle. My salesmen Irwin was a complete joke. Other than forgetting who I was later that week and calling me to try to sell me a vehicle (after I already bought one), he was joking and cussing on the phone to other employees while I was having a follow-up conversation with him, he proceeded to call me back again like I was a new prospect and didn't just buy a vehicle from him 3 days prior. I did have to wait for a new truck to arrive which was at no fault of the dealership, so this review has nothing to do with the time it took to receive a new vehicle. I am only giving this dealership 2 stars instead of one because all of the managers I dealt with were extremely pleasant and were very willing to keep me up to date while waiting on the vehicle. I would deal directly with head management again but defiantly no employees.

horrible service, impatient sales representatives

We had a horrible experience here I’ve purchased one vehicle from here in the past and it was great but second time around trying to purchase a vehicle for my girlfriend it was nothing more than horrible. Our salesman “Pablo” was rude and aggressive, he had no patience and referred to us as “that family I was talking about” to his fellow coworkers. He gave us the price we were looking for (Barely) but his attitude and utter lack of respect for his customers was embarrassing. I’ve been serving in the military for 5 years now and I have never been this disrespected before in my life. My girlfriends family has been treated badly here as well to the point of getting called names for not purchasing previous vehicles, we decided to give them (gold star motors) a second chance but once again they failed and lost not just our business but everyone who will in the future ask us for reference to a dealer ship.

Typical Car Sales BS

Do NOT go here. Typical salesman xxxxxxxx. I drove 2-1/2 hours to get a car with my son and 3 hours back only to find the spare key does not work. This was found out by my wife unlocking the door with the physical key since the fob didn’t work and then the alarm went off and she couldn’t turn it off at 6 am . The salesman will not get the key programmed or check near where I live and expected me to drive for another 5 hours to get it checked there. Basically told me I’m screwed and have to get it fixed myself. Typical
