Metro Motors LLC review
Great Knoxville Dealer
My family and I bought 3 cars within a week, Metro Motors has the cleanest cars in Knoxville, Joe is very kind and very helpful. and he was able to help us with financing. with a local credit union at a great rate for a first-time buyer, I visited few other dealers I felt that they were going to rob me, I'm glad I stopped at Metro Motors, we all love our cars

Motorcars Limited review
We had the most satisfying purchase experience ever in
We had the most satisfying purchase experience ever in buying a truck from Motorcars Limited. The entire staff was extremely pleasant to work with. Gary was especially helpful. We recommend this dealership if you are looking for a super clean car. I think that they are pretty particular about the cars passing through this dealership. Every vehicle we saw was in pristine condition.

2012 Nissan Frontier S review
Utilitarian, but a great vehicle
Very happy with the truck. Does not have a lot of towing capacity, but for my purposes, I could not be happier with the truck. It does everything that I need it to do and is very reliable. Handles off road better than could be expected for the size and holds up well.

Audi Wilmington review
Had an excellent experience with the dealership.
Had an excellent experience with the dealership. They had the car washed and ready for my test drive. The sales person brought us through a thorough road test and answered any questions we had about the car. The sales experience was seamless and I highly recommend this dealer.

Folsom Lake Ford review
Best Mechanic Experience!
If you want a class A experience for service/repairs, I highly suggest you ask for Luis Lagarda. When he called at 7:30 am, Yes, called first thing, in the morning...He was very patient in listening to me explain the concerns I had with my truck. Was very informative as to the initial estimate, and as to what he thought might be the cause of my concerns. He had promised to keep me posted on the progress throughout the day and he truly kept his word. Not only had he found and fixed all my concerns, he also noticed a recall that hadn't been addressed, so he took the time to take care of that as well.. AND, I had my truck back the same day.. Thank You Luis for an extremely pleasant experience!!
