JKJ Auto Sales review

I recently bought my very first car from JKJ Auto Sale,

I recently bought my very first car from JKJ Auto Sale, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience! Sebastian was incredibly helpful and made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. From the moment I walked in, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and patient, answering all of my questions and helping me find the perfect car that fit my needs and budget. The selection at JKJ Auto Sale is fantastic, and I felt confident throughout the entire buying process. I absolutely love my new car – it’s exactly what I was looking for, and the price was great too! If you’re in the market for a car, I highly recommend heading over to JKJ Auto Sale and asking for Sebastian. The level of customer service and attention to detail truly made this an unforgettable experience. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase

2016 Ford Explorer XLT review

Great SUV, NOISY inside. Get ext. Warranty!

2016 Platinum. Nice SUV, comfortable, very powerful, decent fuel economy, fair build quality, but there are some things to be aware of; the AWD models have a PTU (power transfer unit) which sends power to the rear wheels. It is positioned very close to the exhaust, and the heat generated by the turbochargers literally cooks the gear oil in the PTU, causing it to fail. The unit only holds about a quart of oil, and is NOT serviced or checked, even when you have the vehicle serviced at the dealer. We had trouble with the front camera, and the recirculation actuator on the climate control. If you are considering a used Explorer, I highly recommend buying the best warranty you can! The only complaint I have is the road noise. On new pavement, it's quiet, but on all other roads it's VERY loud inside!

Metro Auto Exchange Inc. review

Very reasonable honest freindly dealer.

Dealer was very freindly and very flexible with mg request to take the car to a mechanic for an inspection prior to Purchasing. He allowed me fo test drive it on my own which made the test drive feel much better. Car was in clean condition and dealer had it priced under market value even after dealer fees. Dealer was very upfront and transparent answering all my questions and did not pressure me in anyway. Would highly recommend this dealership. It was the first time Ive ever bougjt from a dealer and Im glad I did.

2016 Ford Explorer Limited review

BEST Upgrade I Have Gotten!!

This vehicle is everything iv wanted and MORE! I showed up to the dealership with a price range I wanted to stick by & wanted the ability to get a vehicle that had a 4X4 button to drive through the weather in the winter. I was not only able to get these two things from my purchase but also came with lots of extra bells and whistles

Great Customer Service

Great customer service, they helped me fix an issue that the finance company made. They were very patient and called everyone they could to make sure my loan was still intact and that the financing company owned up to their mistake and made things right. I would highly recommend this place. Chantal is very knowledgeable when it comes to the finance portion and can help you as much as possible
