First of all I am very displeased with this business. My car had broken down in Lodi. They offered me 250 for a 2002 Nissan Maxima se for trade in value. Right away I could tell these salesmen were shady. They saw I was in a jam so they capitalized. I bought a Dodge Charger with 4500 down. As I was on the way back to Bay Area I noticed something wasnt right with the front end, also the automatic transmission was not changing gears to smooth. I immediately called John and explained to him what was going on . His very smart answer was well have you driven a charger before? So turns out after taking it to dodge that it had been crashed and not disclosed to me. Red flag . Ultimately I took it back got into a Nissan Altima. Which had been crashed as well. Shady people . I sent in my payment and the bank said they never got it more bs from everyone involved with this horrible business. Second payment wasnt even late and they repoed the car. So now Im out 4500 plus the payment because the receipt was in the car and they wouldnt. Let me back in it. Super bummed. Basically it has cost me so much . Knever everyone go to that horrible business. I, in the middle of a battle for ,y money back and I plan on suing.

They start out super nice and do everything they can to help you and get you approved. But in my experience once I had the vehicle at home they didnt care about me at all. The day after I bought my truck from them I noticed a huge gash in one of the tires ( I looked them over at the car lot but the gash mustve been on the bottom) they refused to fix it. The sales manager jus kept brushing it off like it was no big deal ( its a 35" off road tire and he doesnt want to spend that money to fix it) I had the truck taken to multiple tires places and they all said it was a safety issue. So unfortunately I let that go then after waiting almost went months for my new tags to come in I receive the registration renewal in the mail. Apparently they didnt finance that part in with my loan. Without telling me. Once again sales Manger brushes it off says theres nothing he can do cuz its up to the dmv. I called the dmv and they say hes lying. Bottom line is they will help you buy a car but make sure you check the car extremely well before you the lot and make sure you understand everything they tell you that your signing. John is a real unreasonable guy

Honest, very helpful, not pushy, work with you, give you plenty of time to decide, gave a break on the price and allowed me to have the vehicle inspected by an outside mechanic prior to purchase. They took the time to explain some things about cars and used cars that was helpful and useful. Nice guys especially Sam my salesman and John the owner. Did not use the typical high pressure sales tactics most used car sales man use. They were respectful and listened to what i wanted, never trying to get me to buy something else. It was a very nice interaction not the pitched sales gimmicky high pressure monologue you usually get on new or used car lots.

Signed 2 contracts due to their mistake, one for 0 down payment. Everything was ok singed contract for 0, who wouldnt like that. a week later i get a call saying I need to put down 3000 or the car would get repoed. Keep in mind I havent had the car for a month.. went back and forth with the bank. The second contract was signed for 1500. Car was dirty when I picked it up. The battery didnt have a battery holder, battery post was cracked. Seemed like they just wanted the money.

Iv never seen a place like this. every one there was really down to earth and john the sales manager really helped me with every thing i needed i was hearing him on the phone with the bank trying to get me the loan its so much better to hear it going instead of just leaving and them saying were waiting for a response i went in today and left with a car today. thanks

Me and my wife went to this dealership and with both of us having bad credit the team and managment here was able to find us the car we both love and with low monthy payments. The staff here are very professional and work hard to make sure you satified to the fullest. We highly recomend approved auto center of lodi for your next dream car.
