The folks here treat you like family.
The folks here treat you like family. This is one of the last family dealerships in town and you can tell. Communication has been great,
Could do alot worse.
Bought this vehicle last year with 125,000 miles on it. Got off to a rough start. Brakes, muffler, and under carriage needed replacement. Jeep paid for the undercarriage replacement. Since then it has settled down and been reliable. I feel that many of its issues have to do with the salt and other chemicals that are found on the WI roads. Not really the cars fault. One heads up: when you nail the throttle, it's really loud.

Once I got in touch with the salesperson, & more
Once I got in touch with the salesperson, & more explicitly communicated my situation, things got better. They've had no prior experience w/ email checks from out of state Credit Unions. They're still getting their head around it & learning about it. Hopefully they'll resolve it by next week.
Jeeps classy auto
The compass is not like the wrangler, it's a little slower pick-up but it's great for us seniors or a family car runs great for me. With our messed up roads. The driving experience is great. If you want it to run well, keep up the maintenance. I'm 67 years old and I'm happy.

We had a wonderful experience with Austinite Auto Sales.
We had a wonderful experience with Austinite Auto Sales. The vehicle we found was exactly what we were looking for. After having it inspected, we discovered it was in excellent condition. We’re very happy with our purchase, and the staff was incredibly helpful throughout the process.
Excellent AWD small SUV
I've had VW Jetta TDI, 5 Subarus, and a Jeep Liberty TDI. Due to no longer needing the towing capacity of the diesel we traded in for the 2012 compass and never looked back. Cute little SUV, have had many questions about it as it is attractive. MPG is 21 - 29. Needs minimum maintenance, as it is a "world vehicle" [can be serviced anywhere without special tools, parts or knowledge.]-- basic and simple, uses ordinary spark plugs, oil etc. However in spite of manual advice, CVT fluid must be changed every 35 to 40K miles to ensure longevity. Adequate engine performance, very quiet except for sound of ram air intake system. Able to tow 2000#. Now 8 years old and still on original battery, brakes, etc. Internet review reveals this vehicle getting well over 100K with normal maintenance. Of all the vehicles of this type now available, I still choose this one -- best value and reliability!

We drove just over 5 hours to look at the vehicle.
We drove just over 5 hours to look at the vehicle. They recommend hotels near by for us to stay. We were treated great from start to finish! I can’t recommend them enough.
Perfect small SUV for all around use
Handles great, good height for snow and rough going, actually one of the better mpg this niche and year; learning curve for the cvt but now I love it; hard surfaces inside make for easy cleaning from dogs, mud, hauling, etc. An underestimated workhorse in all conditions!

This transaction was primarily done online because I live
This transaction was primarily done online because I live 6 hours and 40 minutes away. I completed an online contact form but ended up calling the dealership. Julian was my sales person and he was great. He answered all of my questions promptly and returned calls promptly. Everything was lined up for my trade before I drove up, which saved a lot of time once I got there. This was not my first distance purchase. Their warranty on used vehicles is part of the reason I chose this particular car and was willing to travel over 6 hours to get it. I highly recommend Julian for anyone considering a vehicle here or who is purchasing long distance. Everyone I worked with was great and when I needed a temp tag after the sale due to Kentucky law, it was handled promptly. Even after the sale was complete, they were still available and handled the issue immediately. Five stars.
Nice new car
This car is nice fits me comfortable gas mileage is great and my son loves it. Has enough room for me to stretch out and drive comfortably. I love the interior design and the dash board HDD radio

Easy purchase process
We saw a Mini Roadster they had on cars.com. I inquired about it snd someone got right back with us. The day we were out to test drive it the car was waiting for us. No pressure sales- easy process. They allowed us to take the car to a prepurchase inspection at the local mini dealership and it came back needing new front tires- other than that the car was great/ low mileage too. Buying the car was a breeze. Would def recommend this dealership the owner was a pleasure to deal with.

I was nervous buying a car for my daughter at a used car
I was nervous buying a car for my daughter at a used car dealership, but from the minute Dan introduced himself, and throughout the entire process, I was amazed at how great the whole experience was buying her VW Jetta. The whole staff worked with me to make sure that I was happy, the car was safe, and every concern was met. I will be buying another car here next year. I’m so glad I chose to come here!

Just moved down to Garden City, and been shopping around
Just moved down to Garden City, and been shopping around for vehicles. Noticed this place as the only used car store in Garden City. Took my 2 sons here, we drove around few cars. Gentlemen here were phenomenal and we also were able to get registration and plates on the same day. Looks like I’m going to be here in NY for awhile, these guys convinced me to stay longer with the beauty of getting approved for a car! Thanks again to the experts at VK AUTO GROUP!
