Selling my car to Ally at Beaverton Car Company was a
Selling my car to Ally at Beaverton Car Company was a great experience. She was honest, efficient, and very easy to work with. There were no games or last-minute surprises — everything was explained clearly and the process was quick. Ally made sure I got a fair offer and handled all the paperwork without any stress. I was in and out with a check the same day. Highly recommend working with her.
Fun and economical car, great value
The car is a great balance between performance, economy, comfort, and versatility. It manages to do all of those things well, if not great. It won't win any races but it's fun to drive.

This guy was awesome very helpful and gave us a great deal on the car that we bought! Definitely would recommend this place to others for sure!
Solid, high quality, and fun to drive
My third VW Golf - this one has been the best - love it for it's versatility, low cost of ownership, reliability (only things I've had to replace is tires and battery in 112,000 miles) and joy of driving - not the fastest off the line but cornering, braking and high-speed driving / passing - wow!

Great experience and I love my truck!
Great experience and I love my truck! I have been looking for MONTHS for a nice LBZ, it has been a great truck for over a year, Levi Hamilton was great with assisting me and the rest of the staff made it a smooth process.
Fun car to drive
I have owned many cars in my life, and several were high end and some were older vw’s. But this VW golf gives the most enjoyment of any car I have owned !

I had a good experience here.
I had a good experience here. I was helped by Daniel and ultimately closed the sale with Basir. This was my first brand new car purchase but certainly not my first time dealing with dealership sales and transactions. This is also my first time purchasing a Lexus or Toyota in general so I look forward to a hopefully positive experience once I bring my vehicle for its services too.
Great dependable car for jumping in and going.
great worry free car. it just starts and goes without any hassle. comfortable perfect for heading to the beach or commuting. I deal owners are young female, young small family, commuter.

I just turned 40k on my base model. Beside the normal oil changes, I recently replaced the Continental tires with the same tires ! I have owned many cars in my life, but never enjoyed any of them as much as this little hot hatch !

My family and I have bought multiple cars from Peterson Auto and have never had a bad experience. They are honest and easy to work with. They give fair trade in credit and work to ensure financing is quick and easy. I will always buy from them.

I recently purchased a vehicle from Genuine Motor Company
I recently purchased a vehicle from Genuine Motor Company after finding it through an online marketplace—and I’m so glad I did. Even though I was a several hundred miles away, the entire experience was smooth, honest, and well worth the trip. From the very first interaction, Devin was outstanding. He was responsive, informative, incredibly easy and even fun to work with. He answered all my questions promptly, sent detailed information and photos, and made sure I felt confident about the vehicle before I even arrived. His transparency and professionalism really stood out and was much appreciated. My second interaction was just as outstanding. Kyle was there to quickly address any questions and was instrumental in making sure all the paperwork was processed making the transaction quick and transparent. Behind the scenes, Sam helped every step of the way making it as smooth as possible. When I made the trip to pick up the car, everything was exactly as described—no surprises, no pressure, just a clean, well-maintained vehicle ready to go. The entire team was friendly, supportive, and clearly committed to customer satisfaction. It’s rare to find a dealership that makes long-distance buying feel this effortless and trustworthy. I’d make the drive all over again without hesitation and would highly recommend Genuine Motors to family and friends. Genuine Motor Company is exactly what the name says—genuine, through and through. They truly went above and beyond! Do yourself a favor and contact Devin if you are in the market for purchasing a car and see how stress free it really can be.

I recently purchased a 2015 VW Golf TSi from Broadway
I recently purchased a 2015 VW Golf TSi from Broadway Motoring Inc. in Ayer, MA, and had a great experience from start to finish. Ed, the owner, was extremely kind and took the time to listen to my concerns. We were able to work out a fair deal on the vehicle, and I really appreciated his transparency and willingness to work with me. Valerie was also a pleasure to work with—super friendly, professional, and informative throughout the entire process. She made everything clear and stress-free. Mike, who worked on the car, clearly takes pride in what he does. The car was in great shape and ready to go when I arrived. All around, a very positive experience. I’d definitely recommend Broadway Motoring to anyone looking for a solid used car and great customer service.

This is my 2nd great experience at Roseville Auto Sales.
This is my 2nd great experience at Roseville Auto Sales. My first great experience was about 3 years ago. Todd also helped me last time, and I'd been in communication with Matt via email. However, I had just purchased a nice 2000 Ford Focus from there that had been on their lot for awhile, but I did the research beforehand so knew the history of the car etc, so knew what I was getting into. They're always laid back there, and you ask for keys for whatever car(s) you want to test drive, and you can take your time inspecting under hood, starting them, then test driving them. Once you make up your mind on a purchase, all the paperwork takes less than 30 minutes and you're out the door. Thank you Todd and Matt for a very pleasant experience, I'll be back again in a couple years. They did mention they've been open 29 years roughly and have sold over 29,000 cars, which I believe, they stay pretty busy and overall have a very good selection of cars, a lot have high miles but some have moderate miles and are very reasonable. Take care.

Ask for the AMG certified, Mike prati
It was a pleasure to be a customer at Mercedes-Benz of Alexandria. I have worked with and bought from different automobile dealerships over 20 years. I informed my sales manager, Mike Prati, who was AMG certified what I wanted from a car. He was the FIRST auto dealership manager who listened when I told him exactly what I wanted my car. Mr. Prati knew more about Mercedes than I could have read in magazines, Car Werk, Edmunds, YouTube etc. He explained the different variables of each model with and pros and cons. He directed me to the E class 450 sedan for a test drive. I personally could not have found the car without his background and experience. I bought the Mercedes pre-owned and certified. What made the dealership a phenomenal experience was how everyone listened and were respectful. Often, customers are talked to which happened at another dealership I walked out of two weeks prior. The goal: sell you something you don’t want. Not at the Mercedes-Benz of Alexandria. Later, I required work on the car. In lieu of calling the Service department I contacted Mike Prati. Who does that? I did. He immediately sent a tow truck, introduced me to a service assistant and I sat back as arrangements were made for a loaner. Mercedes-Benz of Alexandria was organized, cooperative and I had details regarding my car in less than 24 hours. The general manager, which people never see at dealership, called me. He wanted to be sure all departments were working together and I was satisfied. I actually think this dealership off of Pickett Rd in Alexandria has the finest employees. Great attitude. Thorough. Buying a Mercedes? I recommend Mike Prati to sell you one at MB of Alexandria.
