A Fairly Decent Experience

Recently purchased a used car from this dealership. No pressure at all to buy a car, but obviously they only sell cars and don't know much about what they are selling. I asked if I could take the vehicle to my mechanic before I purchase and they told me "No, the owner doesn't allow it because of issues they have had." These cars came with 0 warranties unless you buy a separate one which doesn't cover a lot of the issues you might find. I feel that certain shortcuts are taken when these cars are sold just to pass inspection and then issues pop up shortly after driving off the lot with no help because you bought the car without a warranty. My car does have a few issues and now I"m left dealing with those, so be cautious and bring someone with you who is very familiar with the car you are wanting to purchase. An OBD2 reader is helpful also....

My first experience with a car dealer went well

I was helped through the DMV, insurance, and financial and left with a car despite COVID. The gentleman we spoke with was friendly and helpful.

Great service

I bought a used G6 with cash. It has issues but nothing unreasonable for 12 years old car with 117,000 miles. I had found some undiscovered problems and Charlie arranged to get everything addressed quickly.

Great Guy

Charlie definitely took great care of me. I couldn’t be more impressed with his flexibility and his instinctive nature to look out for my best interest. I brought my mom there in need of a vehicle and his straight forward , no non sense approach to finding the perfect vehicle meant the world to me. I will definitely seek Charlie first when I purchasing my next vehicle.

Ridiculous

Sold me a 15 year old car I paid $3500 for that had 99,000 miles on it with one previous owner. However, they had put a used carborator on it that was too big, so my 4 cylinder car was always running out of gas. Sheer evil. And how much would a proper carborator for that car have cost, which they could have simply added to the sticker price of the car which I would have gladly paid, instead of continually running out of gas. Plus, they wouldn't service a single female and help me with minor things I had to have done, even though they had an attached repair shop. I even worked right down the street from them. The new owner is a rude, jerk that I was trying to buy another car from but he ignored my call and had cars listed on his website that had already been sold. Liar. That is why I don't waste gas or sit in traffic (construction has been going on in that area for 3 years, without using clarifying questions first. Never again.
