We contacted Andy about a car for our youngest daughter.

We contacted Andy about a car for our youngest daughter. We told him what was important to us – safety being the number one concern. He took all the information we told him including our budget. He said the only thing you have to do now is let me do my job! It was a HUGE relief to me!!! Looking at sites like marketplace was so stressful. How do you know if the site is real or not? Will it be safe to go look at the car? So on and so on. We also told him our time frame that we needed the vehicle. Andy found exactly what we were looking for and described to him! He went above and beyond to make sure it was safe and reliable for our daughter. I would HIGHLY recommend Andy at Columbus Auto Source for any of your automobile needs. Thank you, Andy, for making it possible for our daughter to have a safe and reliable vehicle!! Ronda Sandusky, Ohio

Andy at Columbus Auto Source was very easy to work with!

Andy at Columbus Auto Source was very easy to work with! He found us the exact vehicle we were looking for by listening to our very detailed needs. He was patient and understanding when we added more details to the exact car we were looking for. I can’t describe the feeling I get each time I climb into my perfect car. I’m so thankful for Andy’s time and dedication to finding it.

Steve made the entire car buying experience easy.

Steve made the entire car buying experience easy. I had the car inspected by an independent mechanic and the mechanic said the car was in excellent mechanical condition.

4.5 years ago I purchased a minivan and when it was

4.5 years ago I purchased a minivan and when it was recently time to get a another vehicle I returned to Columbus Auto source. Andy, the owner, was great to work with. He didn't have what I wanted on his lot but went out of his way to earn my business again and found me what I was looking for within my budget and in just a few days. Excellent experience!

Dealer response

We're sorry your experience wasn't as you expected. This is often times the case when someone provides false information.

Dealer response

We think Forrest is pretty special as well! As for our finance manager and the dealership as a whole, as the owner and overseer of the staff, I can assure you that your observations are skewed because we can only work with information given to us by our customers AND we have to assume that the information provided to us is accurate. If, after the information is processed, we find out that it is NOT accurate, we are unable to offer an experience that is desirable to both parties. We do not make lending decisions. That can only be done by the lenders we use to help our customers get financing. If they determine that our customer is not a good fit, then they reserve the right to deny financing. That is exactly what happened to you and it wouldn't matter if it was our dealership or any other dealership. The result would have been the same. Hopefully by knowing this, we hope you will re-assess your feelings about our operation. A Christensen, Owner/Principal.

Dealer response

Like all vehicles we offer, Miss Sparks purchased her vehicle "as is: from our dealership. She did purchase an "optional" vehicle protection plan (aka warranty/extended service contract) on the vehicle. Miss Sparks came back a week after the purchase stating there was something dragging beneath the vehicle and the air conditioning was not functioning properly. Because she had the vehicle for only a week, I told her we would be willing to offer a "goodwill" repair and take care of whatever was dragging beneath the car.  I then told her she would need an appointment to have the air conditioning issue examined. At that point she became verbally hostile and unreasonable, yelling, name calling, cursing and accusatory.  After a few minutes of this behavior, she was asked to leave which she refused to do, all the while screaming obscenities and accusations about how we knowingly sold her a "junk" car. She continued this behavior, so I told her I was calling the police, to which she replied "go ahead...they won't do anything", and continued her hostile behavior. She came back in in this past Tuesday and we attempted to address the undercarriage scraping noise, but once again became unruly and hostile when we asked her to leave the service shop area because of OSHA safety regulations. Miss Sparks is correct, that is not how we do business.  Furthermore we will not be held hostage by a person who doesn't know how to behave in a business environment in a civil manner. D. Seagle, General Manager
