Econo Auto Sales Inc review

Great service!

Great service! Was really helpful in getting me and my daughter a good reliable car. Our agent Josh was very hands on and very knowledgeable. He did a great job of distracting my two year old while I did the paperwork! Love the attentiveness of the staff overall a great place to buy from!

1997 Subaru Legacy Base review

Imagine loving a car more than your own children.

Just bought this car from a private seller with 147K on it. I have never felt true love before I owned a Subaru, and now I know what it feels like! I imagine it's a stronger bond than having a child. Only thing that caught me off guard about this specific model was ... NO CUP HOLDERS! Thought it was funny but no big deal, there is room to install in the back seats! Also this thing punches for a wagon, watch the xxxx out everyone green machine is coming through! Also, going to be honest the seats are about as comfy as my old 2018 Altima and way better than the lame xxx Centra!

McAndrew Motors review

Excellent service from direct dealership, professional,

Excellent service from direct dealership, professional, understanding of customer needs, accommodating to co-applicant who was not in same city to help locate financing (which was straight forward/no hassle), along with extra support (as needed) to oversee signing of all paperwork.

I like it a lot so far fast and reliable only problem is the key won’t come out sometimes cause of the engager for parking it’s a automatic but if i back it up and and turn the key off it will come out
