Customer Reviews
After reading the reviews, I was very hesitant to go look at a car here. But it was the car I’ve been waiting to pop up on the marketplace for months, a 2000’s Buick with low mileage for a fair price. Was going into it expecting the car to not be in as good of shape as it seemed. But Howard let me test ride it and bring it to a shop for a pre paid purchase inspection and everything was in good enough running order for me to buy. He was never rude to me and there was mutual respect between the two of us throughout the ordeal. He sold me the car at a fair price which was below his asking price and the whole experience was positive for me. I can’t speak for the all the other reviews but what I will say is treat him and his cars with respect and he’ll treat you with respect.
Very poor customer service. We drove an hour to look at a truck and he was rude and told us that we couldn't test drive at that moment because he had another customer coming and he didn't have time for us. We said we would be back and when we returned within business hours, he was not there. Open signs were on and sign said be right back with a number to call him. We called and text his number and my phone showed me that he read the messages, but he ignored them and never responded. Just left us standing in his lot waiting for no response.
My wife and I drove 3 hours to check out a minivan that Mr. Howard had for sale. He pointed out the flaws and told us that it has a salvage title. We easily came to terms with the price. He gave us a very fair price for our Rodeo. We drove 3 hours home very happy with our purchase and our interaction with Mr. Howard. I would buy from him again. In fact, i gave him my wish list for a truck that i hope he can find. In 45 years of buying vehicles this has been a most pleasant experience.
I bought a car from Howard in August. Marketed as a great reliable car with perfect ac and no issues. What he didn’t tell me was the ac was leaking and stopped working two days later, and that there are DOZENS of issues with the car. It hasn’t had an oil change in over a YEAR. It was listed at 3200, when I offered 3, he accepted. When I got there to pay cash I told him I had 3 and he looked at me like I was scamming HIM! There were people making comments in the back about a car they “took”, which was super unprofessional. Howard treated my roommates and I like we didn’t know anything (one of my roommates is extremely knowledgeable about cars and came to help) and was very rude when we asked to test drive. I was really uncomfortable the whole time and rushed to get things over with. I went
I haven't bought from this place but I had an experience where the owner was extremely rude to me. A few years ago when I was coming home on the bus, I was carrying a lot of plastic grocery bags with groceries in it. A few of them started to rip and my groceries started to fall out. I have very severe anxiety and I was panicking while on the phone with the taxi service to tell them where I was, and in my panic I had a giant brain fart and didn't notice the address was on the sign of Howard's. Howard was closing up shop for the day and so I asked him in my panic if I could get the address for his business. He scoffed at me and very rudely told me to look at the sign, and then he walked off. I couldn't get out of there any quicker. Now that I am getting ready to buy a car, I am remembering
