This place is not a legit business. They have an illegal set up with the lender Security Auto Loans. They will repo your vehicle illegally. Regardless of if your payments have been made or not. I was 2 months ahead and they took my vehicle. I would have never believed it could happen. There is Nothing to protect consumers from this happening. The vehicle was brought directly to the dealers lot. The law says the vehicle is to be securely stored for 10 days and then brought to auction. And the current owner gets one last chance to purchase the vehicle for the auction price and still owes remaining of any. They stole my subs and amp and 2 books of cds. Over 300 cds. A pair of audiobahn subs. I took the truck back from them. Yup. You can re-repo your vehicle back as long as you follow the same laws as them. I never was compensated for my things. The truck was a rusty beater with crazy miles on it. I paid over $4000 on it, it Maybe was worth $2000. Maybe. And they hit my credit report with like $8000. Do not go to these criminals. They should be arrested for praying on the less fortunate and braking a list of laws. But there is nothing you can do of they decide to take your vehicle. The law gives them the right to repo it even if payments are made on time. Trust me, this will screw your life up if you go here. I am not the only one this has happened to either.

This has been the worst experience of my life. They lied and sold me a horrible car. First of all the car was supposed to be for 6 grand they ended up charging me 10 grand for it. I take partial responsibility because I was buying my first car and shouldve been more thorough but it was both listed online and told to me over the phone that it was a 6 grand car so I never questioned it as I was signing the paperwork. And as I was literally signing the paperwork there was another customer yelling saying how he was charged thousands more for a car that broke down 2 weeks after he bought it. I shouldve left right then. I took the car to an autoshop and it said it had a leaking head gasket. I told them and they kept my car for 3 days and had it "checked" by multiple mechanics and found nothing. The radiator, headgaskets, and much more all have had to be replaced now within on months of buying this car (6 grand worth), after they said my mechanic was wrong. Id steer clear of here, but I am thankful I learned this lesson. Ill never trust a used car salesman again and look at every last detail when buying a car for now on. 0/5 stars. I take partial responsibility but I know I know that you cant assume people are going to be honest. There are some real snakes out there.

HORRIBLE IT SHOULD BE A -10 STARS!!! BEWARE THEY WILL SCREW YOU OVER AND RIP YOU OFF THEY SELL LEMONS AND CARS THAT WERE INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS AND THAT HAVE SERIOUS DANGEROUS ISSUES AND IF YOU DONT CATCH IT THEY DEFINITELY WILL NOT TELL YOU. THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR TRUSTED MECHANIC INSPECTS IT AND TELLS YOU YA SHOULD KEEP THE ONE YOUVE BEEN DRIVEN THEY CHARGE 2X WHAT THE JUNK IS WORTH IF YOU BRING IT BACK BECAUSE IT FAILS PRE PURCHASE INSPECTION THEY WILL SCREW YOU OUT OF ANY MONEY YOU PUT DOWN. THEY WILL HARRASS YOUR EMPLOYER SO BAD THEY WANT TO FIRE YOU, AND THEY WILL ALSO BLOW YOUR PHONE UP TRYING TO SEND YOU ON IMPOSSIBLE MISSIONS THAT YOU SPECIFICALLY TOLD THEM YOU COULDNT GET OR PROVIDE. DO NOT LISTEN OR TRUST ANY OF THEM EVEN THE SO CALLED MECHANIC IS A WACK JOB TAKE YOUR VEHICLE ANYWHERE ELSE FOR AN INSPECTION ATLEAST YOULL GET THE TRUTH. THIS SO CALLED MECHANIC INSPECTED THE ONE I ALMOST GOT STUCK WITH AND IT PASSED IN HIS OPINION SO EITHER HE IS AN IDIOT OR JUST LAZY CANT FIGURE OUT WHICH. AS FOR ANYONE ELSE THAT HAS BEEN HORRIBLY STUCK WITH A POS FROM THEM I WILL KEEP YOU ALL IN MY PRAYERS.

The integrity around this place has been far unpleasant. The car had problems to repair and it was a headache. Furthermore, the paperwork currently been over 10 months since it was purchased and the title hasnt been transferred. Been trying to get it resolved, and now getting tickets for expired tabs since we cant do it ourselves. Well see what happens, but this shouldnt have happened in the first place. Update: They handled this with little problems, but the source of that problem was from a dealer named Scott who left Tricity shortly after selling this vehicle. Tricity holds no physical responsibility in the matter, but they are accountable for it since this guy worked for them. Watch out for this guy.

I had a wonderful expereince there i had wanted a specific car and as soon as they got that car in on the lot i recieved a call and went and bought it. Buying the car was quick and they were super helpful i had a small issue with it and one of the guys helped me fix it to make sure that everything was working. I would buy another car again from them. When you go there ask for Tony he will make sure that you are taken care of he is awesome at getting you the best deal and making sure your getting into what you want.

They might as well have -5 stars. These are not honest business people. They will slip in a fee (a horrendously high fee at that), as any given opportunity. They added on fees of about $1000, for "arranging financing", without informing us, and without clearly stating that they were fees; and did not care to rectify the situation when we complained. Needless to say, you will be well-served to scrutinize every document, question all amounts etc, when you deal with them.

These guys did me right! I got an 2010 suburban, the check engine light was on and they said they would fix it... I might have had to go in and out of the shop 6 times but Dennis did right by me and my family. My son got a car as well and I sent my coworker and he got a vehicle too. They went so far as to let me use one of the cars they have to drive to Vegas while my trick was in the shop. I will be going back for another vehicle and I recommend them as well!

Bought a 1999 Subaru Outback from them for $5K. One week after I got it, I needed to completely replace the brakes. Three weeks after I got it, the head gasket blew. Then I found out they never sent in the paperwork for the license plates to transfer like they were supposed to. Nothing about this experience has been pleasant, and theyre happy to do it again. RUN, do not walk, RUN AWAY from this place. DO NOT do business with these dishonest people.
