If you're looking for honesty and peace of mind, this
If you're looking for honesty and peace of mind, this is the place! From the moment I walked into the dealership, I felt a genuine level of care. No games, no pressure—everything was clear, from pricing to vehicle condition to available warranty. I found clean, well-maintained cars at competitive prices, and the team was upfront about every detail—even the small stuff. If you want a quality used car without the headache, this is the dealership to visit. Honest people who truly care about their customers.
Still drives very well
This car has met and surpassed a lot of my needs. Although I bought the car used it was still in great condition and runs well.

Best purchase service experience!
Highly recommend. Service is impeccable! No presure, personable yet professional. Owner is informative, honest, reliable, listens (helps you get what you are looking for but many options), very competitive prices, goes above and beyond to make your car buying experience as comfortable for you! Definitely recommend!
Economical, reliable, attractive and comfortable
We have enjoyed this vehicle for ten years with zero repairs. We like the looks, economy, comfort, and reliability. Not a luxury vehicle but has all of the best basic features like alloy wheels, cruise control, power windows and locks. No bluetooth but does play mp3 discs and has aux input for playing music from phone.

my experience at Jim Butler CDJR Centralia was phenomenal! Salesman Dakotah Courtney answered all of my questions and got me the best deal possible while still getting me into my dream car! The staff was friendly, and everything was upfront! No hidden fees or anything! 10/10 would recommend!
290,000 Miles & Still Going Strong!
My 2009 Ford Escape was my work vehicle from July 2009 until August 2019 (I still have it but my 16 year old daughter drives it now). I never missed a service visit, and it never failed me on the road. At the end I was running about 25 MPG Hwy, and 20 MPG City. The Escape is especially gentle on tires as I had one all-season set on for 100,000 miles. Hardly ever needed break service, but most of my mileage was highway. My ONLY real complaints are the cloth seats, and the fact that this model tends to rust at the rear wheel wells. The cloth seats stain extremely easy, even with a water spill. I eventually put in front seat covers, but would put them on all seats from the beginning if I had to do it over again. I understand from my mechanic that the wheel well rusting is common due to the design (I live in Indiana and we have lots of salt on the roads in the winter). I have an estimate to fix the rust, but it's going to cost about $1,000/well to do a proper job of it. Since I am an engineer, and I own my business, I kept detailed accounts of the maintenance costs and they have averaged $0.04/mile to date which I think is outstanding. Unfortunately Ford ruined the latest Escapes as they are now "cross-overs" whatever the xxxx that means so my new vehicle is a Jeep Wrangler. However, I still love my 2009 Ford Escape as it took great care of me for 10 years, and will take care of my daughter for many more.

Outstanding
We've been keeping our eyes out for a later model Honda Pilot and found one at Compton, we called the morning of when we would be arriving and Terry the owner had the Pilot, up front, running, warmed up and waiting for us. Being a Pilot freak ( we previously owned one) Terry was more knowledgeable than we were, he truly knows his way around cars and does not come off as a salesman, more like a neighbor who comes over and fixes your lawnmower because he knows how. Terry's son who helped out with the paper work was also top notch. we took our newly purchased Pilot to our family mechanic the day after purchasing it and it came back with no issues. Even though Sturtevant is 35 miles away, we will be certain to check out Compton for our next used car purchase
Good value

Bought a 2006 Mercery Milan here today. No pressure from salesman, just straight up great person. Arthur did let me ask the questions and answered every one. He didn't try to tell me a bunch of B.S. Just to get me to buy a car from them. Absolute great experience and professionalism.

My wife and I purchased a car from Sunshine Auto today and the owner Tom is so nice and respectable. He was looking out for us to get the best car for our budget. Tom isn't a pushy salesman, you can go there and be totally relaxed. We recommend all people who are looking to purchase a vehicle to go to Sunshine Auto.

I was fortunate to have Trent help me purchase my vehicle. Experienced Sale Associate with lots of experience and even had a mutual friend that made me Quickly trust him. He was straight up and down with me. Took me on a ride around the block before paying and rolling out of a dealership on St. Clair in Cleveland, Ohio in a xxxx of a deal and a record time obtaining a vehicle from a dealership. *𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 1) 🙄 Pricey lots with false claims, 🫣 Dodge the sales people who are lames, 😖 Duck the timely process and miss the games, 😎 Hit Cleveland on St Clair to get ur deal at DAM’s 2) Wham Bam Thank you DAM’s

Super Satisfied
I recently purchased a truck from SAG Denver, I have had a very positive and professional experience with the sales and service departments. I normally avoid dealerships at all costs, however I came across a beautiful truck that I was having difficulty finding on the private market. I enquired online and was replied to very expediently. I received a no pressure call from a sales person who scheduled an appointment with me. When I arrived, I was greeted and assisted immediately. I test drove the truck with Tracey, who by the way, I highly recommend working with. After driving and inspecting the truck for a bit, I detected what is a common mechanical problem with that type of truck. I brought it up to Tracey and the sales manager Dan and my concerns were immediately acknowledged and validated. Dan did not try to gloss over my concern or argue that there was an issue, instead, he gracefully offered to have the repairs made along with any other contributing or resulting damage as needed. I left the truck with them to begin the repairs, unfortunately it was a bit more involved than originally thought. There ended up being a significant amount of engine work needed, nothing that could have possibly been detectable without opening up the motor. I think most dealerships would have somehow tried to find a way to charge me or unwind the deal rather than proceed with completing all necessary repairs and making the truck run properly. I have several other vehicles so I wasn't by any means inconvenienced, however I did purchase the truck because I had to haul some things for family. After the repairs ran into an extended period of time I did email to express my concerns, I received a call from Dan offering me another truck from their inventory until the repairs were completed on mine. I can't express enough how impressed and pleased I am with the entire experience with Springs Automotive in Denver, I would definitely recommend them and would buy from them again.

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!
