Customer Reviews
I assure you all that this entry is worth the read if you are looking for 100% completely honest review. I am a customer, like each of you reading this I work hard and how I spend money is very important. Understand that anytime a consumer decides to take a chance with a previously owned vehicle with it, comes a sense of uncertainty. Vehicles come in, they get inspected, cleaned and then sold. What sets Car One above all other dealerships that I have ever dealt with is their overall commitment to customer satisfaction. It doesn't just stop when you sign and drive, as I myself, recently experienced a concern to which the entire Car One Staff stood with extreme integrity on getting those issues fixed promptly. I simply cannot say enough great things about my experiences with Chad, Aaron, and
Aaron and Chad have gone above and beyond for our family. They were personable, and not pushy like other dealerships. They made our buying process flexible and easy. We are very pleased with our purchase and the service that we received! Thank you!
We purchased a Chrysler minivan from car one in October of 2025. Chad and Aaron were great to work with and straight up honest guys! The old school handshake dealing guys! I highly recommend checking them out for a used vehicle!
Bought the first car I've ever purchased at a car dealership about 4 months ago from here. I must say, it was a very good experience. No pressure at all and could tell they genuinely cared about my experience more than the sale itself. They gave me every opportunity to not buy the car, so I know they truly want people to drive away happy with their purchase, and I very much am. They worked with me there and was very friendly. I will likely be purchasing all my future cars from them and highly recommend.
Summary: Great customer service, but repair quality could be improved. Positive: Chad was very nice and genuinely seemed to care about his customers. He was easy to talk to and even covered the $200 warranty deductible without being asked — which I really appreciated. The car is a 2010, so I understand older vehicles come with their share of issues. Unfortunately, the head gaskets were badly leaking, though the underside had been cleaned. Only discovered after putting a few hundred miles on it. After using dye during an oil change, I discovered the head gaskets were shot. **My mechanic believes the previous owner likely knew and cleaned it before trading it in, and Car1 hadn’t had it long enough to have major leaking on the bottom before selling it.** Negative: I’m docking two stars only
