Turner's Missoula Car & Truck review

We bought a 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 for our grandson.

We bought a 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 for our grandson. It was a pleasure working with Kelly Straight on the sale. Would I buy from Missoula Car & Truck again? Absolutely! Would I recommend buying from them? Without a doubt! By the way, my grandson loves the truck. Thank you Kelly.

2012 Subaru Forester 2.5X Touring review

I’m the 3rd owner of a 2012 Subaru Forester purchased at

I’m the 3rd owner of a 2012 Subaru Forester purchased at approx 175,000 miles and it still runs pretty good! It does burn oil up pretty quickly and mine has issues with reading the levels and won’t give me a warning light so i check the dip stick often. Mine did have exhaust issues and had to replace a rested out piping from the cat back, but mufflers were still good. Also the Oxygen sensor was a problem for awhile, which you can only use on brand for it to work properly. Gas mileage is decent for the size of the vehicle and its age. Only wish the front seats went back more bc my taller girlfriend who is 5’11 with long legs struggles to fit and be comfortable in the passenger seat.

2012 Subaru Forester 2.5X Touring review

Great Value, Great Car!

One of the most comfortable cars I have owned. The things I love best. the reliability of the vehicle, only regular maintenance with higher miles, The huge moon roof, and the simple design of the interior of car. This car is loaded yet has very minimal control buttons which is perfect for me rather than trying to figure out how to operate everything. Best car I have ever owned especially buying used with high miles.

Wild West Auto Sales review

Wonderful Experience

We were looking for a first car for our daughter. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They helped us to find the prefect fit for her: 2011 Ford Edge. They were knowledgeable and efficient and we highly recommend them! August 27, 2022

Serpentini Chevrolet - Strongsville review

EDIT FOR PREVIOUS REVIEW I previously left a 1 star

EDIT FOR PREVIOUS REVIEW I previously left a 1 star review. Alan reached out the following morning and worked everything out with the pricing. I actually drove up the next day and purchased the new 2026 Traverse. Thank you Alan for reaching out. Huge thanks to Mo S. for being an awesome sales guy. Signing paperwork was very easy. The whole process was perfect after getting past the initial pricing issue. I definitely recommend Serpentini in Strongsville

2012 Subaru Forester 2.5X Touring review

Safe, reliable and well renowned

This car was roomy, affordable and had great reviews from my family and friends. 4 cylinder makes it great on gas and I'm hoping like I've heard that it will last for years to come.

Fox Kia South review

I had an amazing experience with my service

I had an amazing experience with my service representative, Jeremy! He was kind, friendly and I was greeted with a smile along with full knowledge of the plan for my vehicle as it was being serviced. He was even kind enough to show me around as it was my first visit to the service center. Thank you Jeremy:) Your awesome! And the waiting area was soooo comfortable I even turned down the ride home while my vehicle was being serviced and enjoyed a hot fresh cup of coffee and can’t refuse the popcorn! ;)

2012 Subaru Forester 2.5X Touring review

2012 subaru Forester

This is my third Subaru. It is a reliable car. It is fun to drive. I may not work for a large family. I never had the feeling that I can't rely of this car. It is a lot of fun to drive in the snow. It is very comfortable to drive long distance. I would recommend this car an would have my kids drive it.
