Bought a car from them for 4.5k. ABS light came on while test driving and was told not to worry about it (idk anything about cars at this time) charcoal canister fell within a week. Exhaust broke in half. Car was rusted out. Didn’t even make a year of me owning it before it died completely. I do not recommend them at all.
Not many places left to get vehicles priced in this range. We were looking for our daughter's first vehicle and wanted to go the traditional route of a first car being nearly the age of our 16-year-old and not taking out a loan. I am not really good at what to look for in a used car but gave Dale the benefit of the doubt after getting to know him. Vehicles this age are often not covered by Lemon law as they are usually over 100,000 miles and after only driving it a few miles a problem cropped up that I don't think anyone could have foreseen. I took it to my guy expecting to pay and not all that upset by the development, but word got to Dale. He took care of it, and I was none the wiser until I tried to pay. Will definitely be visiting him again.
Purchased a 2005 Jeep liberty for 3.5k with 230k miles. Popped a ball joint in my parking lot first day I had it, then leaked coolant a day after I got it back. (both covered) Two months go past and the engine is knocking. He Told me to replace the engine myself claiming “I ran it without oil” . I spent a lot of time working in shops giving a hand doing tear downs and I finally finished the motor swap on the Jeep and figured out A)They replaced the original motor with a junkyard motor. B) Oil pressure sensor was hand tight threaded in hanging out of the motor. C) They did a AC bypass on the engine just deleting the compressor using a aftermarket pulley. (No ac) D) Aftermarket sealant was run through the coolant system to stop leaks but gummed up everything. Conclusion is look over every ve
this review is long over due. bought an 07 aveo back in february. the guys were friendly and allowed my mechanic to look at the vehicle before i purchased it. i needed a different used car quickly as my inspection was past due, i was able to leave the lot with the car in a couple days after test driving. so far no major issues or problems!
Got my alero there about a year ago. Still running strong after some calipers and brake lines right from start. Other than that ,,,,,,good car , good salesman , and good mechanic,
