I purchased my Sorento from The Car Store early this month. Not only am I thrilled with my vehicle, I absolutely loved working with Ron and Angella. They are very much a small town dealer who has managed to hold onto the now rare personal touch, putting customer relations, trust, and quality above the dollar. We spoke at length via phone before I drove to see the Sorento (I am from over three hours away). Not only was it exactly as represented on the internet and on the phone, Ron gave me a rough trade in value for my car, which he stuck to when we actually met and traded. There were a few minor things that you would expect on a used vehicle, which Ron was meticulous about having fixed - even things I hadnt noticed, keeping in touch with me every day! Between him and Angella, financing was handled for me, no stress on my part whatsoever. Watching them interact with other customers while I was there, I feel they are genuinely good people who do their best for everyone. I will most definitely be a return customer. Not only did I save literally THOUSANDS of dollars, I got exactly the vehicle I wanted, and I feel as though I gained two new friends in the process.

At first sight the pick up I bought looked great and what Ron said seemed to be truthful, owner put on a good face. Have had the pick up for about 3 months, and things they said they fixed are falling apart. Reupholstered arm rest turns out to be an ironed on piece of vinyl that is falling off. Said they replaced the rocker panels. Rust is showing bad on rockers. Must have been a quick fix without much care that they said they were very proud of how the pick up turned out, not sure what is to be proud of. Maybe on how fast they got the pick up in and out of the shop. Check engine light came on a few weeks after purchase. Seat warmers worked for a week or so. NOT IMPRESSED AT ALL. Would NEVER go back or recommend. Thanks a lot Ron. Bought a pick up for 8,000 where in the condition it was in a few months later I would not pay 5,000 for.

DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM THIS PLACE. They are dishonest. We bought a car from them a WEEK ago; we paid above average Kelly Blue Book value because they told us the car was in “Excellent” condition with no mechanical problems. We believed them. Today we found out that the car needs a major repair that will cost ONE THIRD of what we paid for it. When we called to let them know and work something out to arrange for the repair – the car has a “30-day Warranty” (which is completely useless, it turns out) – they were rude and insulting. The Owner told my husband that this is "how American Business works.” In other words: If you are stupid enough to believe these are honest people and you get screwed in the process, that is your fault. DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM THIS PLACE. Tell everyone you know.

bought a $6000 car with 80k miles on it. in the 9 months Ive had it I have had to put 3k into it to fix it. Some of the things that have been fixed were things they reported to have fixed before they sold it a lot of which was in the brakes. My dealership I take my cars to were not to surprised to see that their repairs didnt last when they saw how they did them. on a side note my car currently sits at my dealership for yet more work. this time to replace a wheel bearing that the car store had told me they replaced when I bought the car. it lasted 8k miles.

Please dont buy from this con artist. I bought a lemon from this guy Ron @ the The Car Store. I should of known better. His show room and lot are low classs and his inventory is junk. I have had my car in shop 7 times in 2 months and that is where it sits now. According to Ron the owner and his master mehcanic I almost got myself killed becasue Ron the owner said the shop that I brought it to, to get fixed lied. It was the Car Store that lied and almost killed me when my tie rod broke. Do not buy from them.

Bought my car from them a year ago, great car, no problem with it at all. Guess some of these people should have looked into what they were buying a little more. These workers were super friendly, efficient, and had amazing customer service! Will likely stop by when Im in need of a new car again!

I really enjoyed looking for and buying my car at The Car Store in Adel Iowa. I traded in my vehicle for another. They gave me best deal within 75 miles. They were both fair and honest. Love my new wheels. Thank you Car Store!

I appreciate the way Ron and Angela treated me here at the car store. They even took my car in and repaired it for free as there was an oil leak. I am grateful for the Car Store.

Their upper-end stuff seems to be OK, but stay away from their cheaper cars. Bought a $5,000 car that needed $2,000 worth of work to be road worthy. Thats a rip-off.

Paid $7000 cash for a jeep and had problems with it a week later. It lasted me two months before I had to junk it.
