I have been a customer for quite some time.
I have been a customer for quite some time. I have never had an issue or complaint.From buying a car,to having it serviced it's been a great experience.I drive the extra miles to use their service.I appreciate the staff who sign me in,the techs and mechanics.and the cashier's who check me out.Their all so friendly and professional.My thanks to all of them.
I have owned my 2005 Dodge Dakota 4.
I have owned my 2005 Dodge Dakota 4.7 Laramie since 2012 as of writing this is in the middle of August 2025. I have had no issues with my truck. The truck runs perfect I’ve towed heavy loads many times over 500 miles. This is the best vehicle I’ve ever had. I had a 1986 Toyota pick up with a 22 R engine that blew the head gaskets twice back in 1992. I’ve had a 2016 Toyota Highlander that one was OK but the interior started cracking. I have a 2020 Kia Telluride had to replace the transmission. I’ve had a 1985 GMC blazer had to replace the engine in 1992 with less then 100,00 miles on it. Right now my truck sits on 18 inch rims 31 inch tires no suspension lift. The 2005 dakota has KO 3 all terrain 31 inch tires and has a bunch of overland equipment on it with a Ikamper tent In the interior it has no cracks or blemishes. I can tell you that this is probably the best truck I will own for the rest of my life I don’t plan to ever get rid of it like I said this is a solid truck. I love it. The truck also has over 170,000 miles on it. No transmission issues no engine issues no issues at all. i’ve also taken it out trailing in a mountains, terrain where you see Toyota Trd pros jjeeps, and everything and I get a lot of compliments on it.

Made a purchase recently that i'm very happy with! Great place, quality used cars, and fantastic working with Mentor and Mon. I will return for future car shopping. I completely recommend Galaxy Auto
Would buy again if I could.
I have a 2005 dakota that I purchased new. I love it. 18 years of owning it. I have had very few issues. I use for hauling and recently I have been using it for highway driving. It just works. It's nothing fancy in fact it's kind of utilitarian. But I does everything I need it to do. I do maintain it well. but I have only had minor issues. The fuel mileage is not great but it's a truck.

The best truck ever....Dodge Dakota!!!
This my 2nd Dodge Dakota, I would recommend another one to anyone who wants manual truck. My 1st was 1997 Dodge Dakota, I actually prefer the 97 style to the 2006 model, this year would make my truck 26 yrs old. Still on the road, just has a few maintenance issues, still planning on keeping my 97, gonna put it in the shop for some TLC. I guess what I am trying to say is that the Dodge corporation made one xxxx of a truck, I believe that if the 2006 last as long as my 97, then this will be my last truck. Nothing better than shifting gears with the windows rolled down, going 60 mph.

Great deal and experience bought a suv for my daughter
Great deal and experience bought a suv for my daughter Humberto was very knowledgeable and super friendly, will recommend to anyone looking for a nice car at a great price. Thank You MC
Dependable
This truck was in my brother's driveway just rusting away on two flat tires, amongst other issues. He said it was a good little truck, but it needed some work. I took it off of his hands, and got that baby repaired. She rides smooth, the seat is comfortable, and I am happy with my little get around town pick up. I also like the extra seating area in the cab for three small people. Her body is a little rusty, but we all get a few wrinkles with age. Overall, very dependable.

I love my Dakota!
I love my Dakota! They can pull more than what they are rated for, the 3.9L V6 sounds great, they are tough, and it's never left me stranded, the interior is simple and comfortable, it has some cool fetures for its age like a built in engine light decoder, and Cruze control that adapts to hills, and it has never needed major engine work. The one drawback is it has poor fuel economy around 16MPG, notorious for rust, and the automatic are reportedly very flaky (idk how bad I got the 5 speed NV3500). Overall Its a great truck and can make a great first vehicle!

375k.
375k. Been a great little truck. Bought it in 1999 with 28k miles. Never let me down. Didn't get great gas mileage, maybe 15 mpg, but I ain't complaining. In the shop getting it's second tuneup in 29 yrs. Did change out the plugs a few times, replaced an injector, but that's about it engine wise.. I've taken out several deer and totaled one Toyota SUV, but drove it home afterwards, Toyota left on a flatbed. It's got rust, dents, but she still runs good.

2000 dodge Dakota V6
My experience with these trucks are good because I had one in the family since it was new and it has been trough xxxx and back! They are very reliable. But they suck in the winter with snow due to no weight in the rear. Id recommend it it's fun to drive but in snow id recommend it to a more experienced driver.

2002 Dakota SXT
Bought my SXT model new in 2002, Traded my 1994 Dakota. Still driving the 2002 daily. It has been an excellent truck. The only problem I had was when I was a mobile technician and drove a company van so my Dakota was mostly parked for about 4 years, the rubber hose on the evaporator canister deteriorated and the check engine light came on. since replacing that, no problems. 156,000 miles and still going strong.

East Coast Auto got right back to me by telephone. I was disappointed b cause the car I was interested in was already sold. They invited me to look at other cars at their dealership. Very nice and professional .
I Love my truck!
I bought mine used and I believe it had a rough life before I bought it. It took some getting used to after owning a 1500. My truck has a softer life now and it is a good quality truck.

The good news?
The good news? I found my car. The bad news? It was in Fontana! I live in Mission Viejo, O.C. What's even worse, the ride I arranged to take me back to pick it up, was taken to hospital with covid. Yikes! Well, I struggled to find an alternative ride yet it seems people just don't like Fontana. THANKFULLY, I had MATHEW as my salesman. He was a dream the moment I walked on the lot. MATHEW was very polite, non intrusive and he answered every question I had. I live on disability which isn't a lot but he helped me make a great deal and I was very happy. WHEW! Now, how to get it home. After 4 days, I still hadn't found a ride back to Fontana to pick up my new (Used) outback. MATHEW saved the day. He said he would deliver the Outback to me...And he did. My gratitude is huge. Every moment I was at Johnny's Motors, it was a stress free experience, which is so rare at most dealerships. I'm grateful to the owner for not insisting on 'wolfish' sales people that pester you at every step. MATHEW was fresh air in a hot room. He answered every one of my questions and seemed knowledgeable about all the cars. Yes, despite the distance, I will go back because I trust Johnny's Motors and I certainly am pleased with his team. Thanks to you MATHEW, I'm driving my Outback today.

Great , love it . We bought new 1 owner and still have . My hubby drove it to farm for daily driving. Now , I use as my vehicle I haul wood in.Gonna drive till it can no longer be fixed . Now , it is irreplaceable

Everyone at the dealership was great to deal with. The technician who took me to look at the vehicle was very professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. He also gave me great advice on what to do with the vehicle in terms of restoration work that would save me money and time in the long run, while still making sure I would get the best work done on the vehicle. Great experience!
Great truck meets all my needs plus
I bought this truck as a hauler and work vehicle to save wear and tear on my main vehicle primarily for cabin hauling firewood, building materials, tools, pulling boat and utility trailer. I bought it in November used and was pleased to have it come with a cap and winter tires. I wanted to see how it handled in a prairie winter as it is a rear drive. Adding rear weight has resulted in this becoming my go to run about. I love it especially the radio cassette player which plays my old 1990s tapes! It is an extened cab 2 door and access to rear is tight but still great, heated storage area just cant see anyone sitting back there. Averaging 18 to 20 MPG is a plus.
