I bought my vehicle from Longmont Autobrokers 6 weeks ago. When I was in there I asked Bob if he would offer me a warranty and he replied "there is no warranty with this vehicle", he let me know he wasnt concerned and "if anything happens bring the vehicle in and I will repair it for you." I took his word for it (obviously I should not have), and here I am 6 weeks later unable to drive my vehicle because there is a leak in one of the brake hoses and the brakes arent working. I called Bob and let him know my problem, and when I had bought the vehicle. He told me "I dont fix vehicles I sold 3-4 months ago", I said Ive only owned the vehicle for 6 weeks, we still have the paper plate on the vehicle. Bob stated that "since its not a mechanical issue we wont fix it". So now after only owning the vehicle for 6 weeks and putting roughly 1,000 miles on it, Bob is going back on his word and I have to replace the brakes on my own. I have to get the vehicle towed to a shop and pay for the repairs. Thankfully my 2 year old son wasnt in the vehicle when the brakes went. I would not reccommend anyone doing business with Longmont Autobrokers as they are obviously not men of their word. Once Bob sees this negative review he will make a comment to try and redeem himself as he has with negative reviews posted in the past, but what Ive stated above is 100% true. Ive now leanred from this and a past experience to NEVER trust a used car salesman. I wanted to follow up on my review from the other day, looks like Bob sold us a vehicle that in fact could have cost us our lives! As previously stated we bought our vehicle from Bob 6 weeks ago and the brakes went this past Sunday. After talking to my mechanic he let me know this vehicle should have never been sold to us with the brakes in the condition they were in. He stated that all 4 lines could fail at any time, and that the brake pads are worn out way below the legal threshold. In all the total estimated repairs are $1200! I told our mechanic we bought the vehicle 6 weeks ago and we have drove it roghly 1,000 miles. The mechanics exact words were "I dont know how this guy got away with selling you a vehicle with brakes in the condition they are in, there is no way in the time youve owned the vehilce that they could have been damaged this severely." Also as previously stated I have a 2 year old who fortunately wasnt in the vehicle when the brakes gave out, but he very well could have been. Furthermore my wife and I had our son with us when we bought the vehicle, and Bob sold us the vehicle with dangerous brakes anyway. I would not recommend doing business with Bob as all he seems to care about is $$$$ and clearly does not care for the well being of his customers, or their families.

If I had to do it over again I would have had the car inspected before purchase. And that goes for buying from a dealer, broker or private seller. That said, were talking about buying a used car. I looked at 2 cars here and both were really clean and ran great. The salesman, Bob, was totally easy going. Its more of a situation where you go to them if you know what you want and can parse out whether its a good value for you or not. I didnt get as much for my trade in as I expected (though I expected to get shorted through a dealer or broker) but the car I did buy was reasonably priced. I didnt get a steal - but I got a fair deal. When I drove it home the worst thing you can possibly imagine happened - the check engine light came on. I ran the diagnostic, O2 sensor. Bob fixed it. Took it to emissions, it failed. They swapped out the catalytic and it passed. Should the car have been ready to pass before hand? Probably. Did they take care of it? Yep, they sure did. I made sure to get that emissions in the first three days. I made sure to promptly tell him about the o2 sensor. I think if youre going to play then youve got to be on your game to protect yourself. But these guys are good, they have good cars at good prices, upheld their end of the bargain and I would have gave them a 5 star had the car sailed without any problems the first week. But kudos to them for owning up and taking care of it! Definitely go here before going to a dealer youll have a much more pleasant experience. Do your homework wherever you go!

Purchased a 2000 Toyota Avalon about 2 years ago. The car was in pristine condition for its age and drove like a dream. The only thing Ive had to replace or fix was the alternator about 3 months ago which is a normal wear and tear item on a car. I was very pleased with my experience. Offered a price, we worked out the deal and drove the car home. No haggling, stupid games that larger dealerships play, etc. Car still drives great and has been very reliable. Would certainly buy from them again. I see some people complaining about things that broke on their cars after they purchased it. Even the most meticulously inspected used car with a mechanics approval can break down afters its purchased. Heck even brand new cars can break down. Some problems just cant be detected, and cars break down. Anyway, it was a good transaction for me and would certainly do business again in the future when the time comes.

We were stuck in the Denver area with a broken down car that was deemed not worth saving and not safe to travel over the mountains. We needed a car that would tow our camper in a hurry and Bob got us set up with an awesome vehicle quickly and easily. He even provided us with the hitch we needed. So far we have had no mechanical issues other than a burnt out break light. We got safely and smoothly home to Grand Junction. Thank you Bob.

Just bought a vehicle from them and it was the best car buying experience that I have ever had. They priced the truck at what it was really worth minus cosmetic stuff rather than asking blue book and having me fight for a discount for the cosmetic stuff. They were not pushy, they had a carfax report, told me that I could take it to a mechanic and have it looked at and most importantly acted like real people not vultures!!

I bought my 2003 Honda CRV about a month ago. The car was extremely clean and Bob, the salesman, made the purchase quick and easy. He was very friendly and Ive loved my car since. Ive had no issues with it and theyve answered any questions I had. Overall I had a very good experience purchasing a vehicle from Longmont Auto Brokers.

I bought 2003 Subaru Forester from this dealer shop. Bob lie to me when he sale this car for me. This car had radiator and head gasket problem. When I found those problems and call him, he promised to call me back after research. But he did not call me back. Recommend: if you want to buy the car from him, do mechanic first.
