Best place to buy a used car

I bought a pickup 6 years ago. It still runs good. I decided to buy a car for my son and recommended him to get one from them. Very honest and will let you know all the work they did to it. If I could give them a higher rating I would. We’re not pushy to sell like most dealers are. Made my experience even better than the last. If you ever need a vehicle I’d highly recommend you give them a try like I did. I’m sure you won’t regret it.

Amazing customer service!

I came in looking for a car and even though I did not find the perfect one. Leon and Nick helped out and answered all of my questions about the cars.

Horrible experience

I had no idea until after I purchased my car that it had a junkyard engine in it. I should have known when I asked about going to get it checked by a mechanic and the owner acted irritated. I ended up being impulsive and trusting his selling skills. Instead of good skills I found out he was a scammer. At the very least a liar. I would highly recommend other people read reviews like I later did. Avoid at all costs.

Horrible Customer Service

Brought my car in for an oil change...a short time later my car broke down on I-380. Found out from another mechanic that they had not put the oil cap on correctly and I had oil all over my engine, which caused a belt to slip and overheat my car. Contacted them and they said they would call back but did not. A week later, my compressor died due to the damage done by the oil. Went to the shop and they said they would not do anything about it. The damage, that I know of so far, is up to about $800...due to their mechanic not putting an oil cap back on during a $25 oil change. They took no responsibility.

Sorry for your inconvenience. You had told me that you had the vehicle for over 3 weeks after the oil change before this all happened. If oil was spraying all over the engine and you drive 80 miles a day there is no way you wouldn't have smelt the oil burning on the engine. I am certain that something happened after the fact that your oil was changed here. If your serp. belt broke it would have potential done damage along with mess up your A/C compressor. The prices you are quoting me to change a belt, clean an engine bay, do a oil change and change a compressor seem extremely high. Again, I apologize for the car issues you are having especially during your wedding planning. If we would have had a chance to fix the vehicle we would have, but just giving money back is not an option. King's Kars wishes you the best wedding possible. Read less

Sorry Daniel. We never charged you for the belt repair. The only thing we asked for was the rest of the $300.00 that was owed to us as part of the down payment and proof of full coverage insurance. Both of which was in the contract that you signed. This was a buy here pay here contract that started out bad. It is for reasons like this that dealerships don't do the buy here pay here any more. Good Luck with your food delivery service.

Used cars

I found that no one came out when we pulled in to the car lot and got out and looked at a pickup that was rusty and in bad shape. I drove from Mt Pleasant, IA and wasted my time. Pictures did not show the overall condition of vehicle.

Gene, I apologize for not having someone come out to help. We are a small family owned business that runs shorter business hours. My father has recently had surgery and we are running a little slower. We can work by appointment, or if I ever know someone is coming in from out of town I would make sure to personally be there. For the rust on the truck, I am sure we are asking under $3000.00 for anything in that condition. Its no excuse for not having someone help you, I apologize. Have a great day and God Bless.

Great experience overall

We were looking for an inexpensive used car and found a great car for the price at Kings Kars. Leon was very laid back, friendly and helpful. When we noticed a couple of minor problems with the car, he offered to have them fixed at no cost and in the end we were very happy with the service and the vehicle!

best place ever !!!

The most painless buying experience I've ever had. Top quality vehicles and service. I am extremely pleased with my s.u.v. I just purchased from kings. Hands down the best service and quality in the cedar rapids area. The friendly cheap servicing after the sale is a plus. I highly recommend checking out kings Kars before going to "the big guys".

Great Dealer

The staff at King's Kars are friendly and sociable without seeming too pushy. I found them when I researched cars on this website and found a '96 Mercury Mystique 5-Speed Manual that only had ~80,000 miles on it. They offered a great price for a car with such low mileage and even arranged a refresher course with one of the employees on driving a stick. The buying process was quick and easy. I have been driving my new car for a couple months now and have had no problems with it. I live two hours from Marion and it was well worth the trip. When the time comes that I need another car, they'll be the first people I call. King's Kars is a good dealership. They are salespeople, but they won't try to push you into a car unless you are satisfied and comfortable with it. I was very pleased in my dealings with them and would gladly recommend them to anyone in Central Iowa who is currently shopping for a car.
