DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM THIS MAN.HE IS A SCAM ARTIST WE WILL BE CONTACTING THE DMV/DOL, ATTORNEY GENERAL AND THE FEDERAL COMMISSIONS DO NOT BUY FROM HIM!!!!MAX SPECIFICALLY I am absolutely furious. I bought a PT Cruiser from this seller for $2,500 THREE WEEKS AGO because I needed a SAFE and RELIABLE vehicle. I told him that I have frequent chemotherapy appointments, and that I needed this car to get me back and forth to the HOSPITAL and to get my child to and from school we just moved here from Iowa and I needed something affordable and safe . He told me the car was fine and safe. I also bought THIS specific car for sentimental reasons. I genuinely thought this seller was kind and helpful and that I could trust him. I was wrong. He KNEW about the problems with this car. The Carfax shows that the radiator had been replaced THREE TIMES within the previous year. THREE TIMES. That information was not disclosed to me, and that part of the vehicle history was left out of the paperwork I was given. The car started overheating shortly after I bought it. I replaced the radiator cap. I replaced the thermostat. It STILL overheated. Then, three weeks after buying it, the car broke down WHILE I WAS ON MY WAY TO THE HOSPITAL. I HAVE CANCER. I was literally on my way to the ER when the vehicle this man told me was “fine and safe” overheated and left me stranded. I could have lost my life! I finally took it to a mechanic, and now I am being told I could be looking at a major engine problem, potentially a $10,000 motor replacement or thousands of dollars in additional repairs. My husband went to confront the seller about what happened, and he didn't seem to care AT ALL. Instead, he offered us $500 as a trade in because “that's what it's worth.” WHAT??? So you sold me a car for $2,500 THREE WEEKS AGO, knowing the history and knowing what was wrong with it, and now that it has broken down, suddenly it's only worth $500? I also want to mention that when I told him I wanted to go home and think about buying the car, he became extremely pushy and kept pushing me until I finally bought it. At the time, I thought he was just being helpful and enthusiastic. Knowing what I know now, that interaction makes me extremely uncomfortable. I told this man exactly why I needed a reliable vehicle. He knew I needed to get to the hospital. He knew I needed to get my child to school. And he knew about the vehicle's history. Yet he still sold it to me and told me it was fine and safe. I am not angry because I bought an older car that needed normal maintenance. I am angry because I was not given the full history of the vehicle and was told it was safe when there were serious problems that had apparently been occurring repeatedly. There is nothing “fine” or “safe” about a car that leaves someone stranded on the way to the HOSPITAL! If you are considering buying a vehicle from this seller, DONT! If you have to GET THE COMPLETE CARFAX, HAVE THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY INSPECTED, AND DO NOT LET YOURSELF BE PRESSURED INTO BUYING IT. I trusted this seller. I genuinely thought he was a kind person who was helping me get a car I desperately needed. Instead, three weeks later, I am left with a car that may need thousands of dollars in repairs and a seller who apparently thinks $500 is an acceptable solution! IN THIS ECONOMY?!?! I would NEVER recommend this seller after what happened to me.

I have not have the ability to actually interact with this dealer because no one has ever responded to my three inquiries about a paeticular vehicle. One inquiry through their website and two inquiries through Cars.com.

I bought a used Toyota Solara from this dealership on June 1st, 2025. I was told the car had been inspected by their in-house mechanic and had no issues, or at least none they were aware of. Since it’s an older vehicle, I wasn’t expecting perfection, but I did expect it to be safe to drive. Just four days later, I took it for a third-party inspection. What my mechanic found was not just disappointing, it was dangerous: • No functioning brakes — no brake pads at all, and the rotors were worn way below safety speak • Slipping transmission with black fluid and large metal debris • Severely leaking radiator • Leaking oil pan gasket • Worn suspension (control arms and sway bar links) • Completely missing window regulator and motor on the driver's side — the glass was held up by a single screw The mechanic literally asked how I made it to his shop alive. He said any competent technician would have caught these obvious issues. Which means either their in-house mechanic was incompetent, or the dealership knowingly sold me a dangerous vehicle. I accept that it was naive to trust the salesperson without getting my own inspection first — but this goes beyond optimism. This was negligent and potentially criminal. They let this car onto Washington public roads for test drives, fully aware that it was unsafe. Someone could have been killed. When I raised the issue with Steve Guiberson, who said he was part of management, he questioned why I didn’t tow the car back to them for repairs. I may be naïve, but I’m not stupid. I wouldn’t trust the same people who sold me a deathtrap to fix it, how am I supposed to have faith in your business after you let this vehicle leave your lot in such a condition. Unless you have the time, money, and skills to completely rehab a used car, avoid this dealership at all costs. And if you still consider buying from them, get a third-party inspection before you even test drive, because they clearly don’t disclose critical safety issues.

Knowageable and friendly salesman and the rest of the staff were all helpful and polite

Curbside motors went above and beyond to help me get my new used car. The car had set for a while so the battery was dead and they called and had a new one delivered while I was there. They were helpful they got me through the financing and I can't say enough about how great they were. They made me comfortable while I waited for the financing to come through and they treated me with dignity and respect. I would recommend them to anybody looking for a used car.

I drove from Marysville to this dealership in Tacoma to look at a 1982 Rolls Royce . The salesman was very pleasant to deal with . He then brought the car around for us to look at it and drive it . It was a very nice car .I found a few things wrong with it that needed looking at . I told them if these were resolved I would buy the car for cash . He told me he would put the car in the shop that day and have them looked at and get back to us shortly as he had my phone number . He also said he needed to talk to the owner of the dealership and he will call me in a few hours . It's been 3 days with no response. I guess we are not worth their time to even call us .I would never refer anyone to this dealership. Dan Johnson

They called me. Nice to have a positive conversation with them. Very good understanding of my questions.

Sometimes you find a car that you really wanted without looking for it. The car l drove a long way for did not work out. In the lot was a car staring at me. Ray and their long time mechanic are real good people. I love my Lincoln. Go see Ray if you need a good car.
