AutoCenters Nissan review

Buying a used car from Carl Schaeffer at Nissan

February 12, 2026
By Kent from Chesterfield MO

Buying a used car from Carl Schaeffer at Nissan autocenter couldn't have been easier, a truly pleasureable experience. Definitely worth the drive to Herculaneum to see the car in person and test drive it. The car was exactly as advertised on cargurus!

2023 Ford Explorer XLT review

Apple play used to connect but no longer does.

By Dhogan923 from Murphy,Tx

Apple play used to connect but no longer does. Didn’t notice passenger door wasn’t installed properly until I took a road trip and the noise!!! Drivers side arm rest squeaks as though it’s about to come apart. Very noisy engine over 40 mph.
