Dont waste your time here, nice at first but then you will discover this company is owned by a shady liar. I thought because of the good reviews this was a decent car place, found out that is because your basically bribed into writing a positive review. Them replying to the comments an complaints, is just for show. I have seen multiple comments on these review sites, where people have stated how rude and disrespectful the owner is. Of course he responds saying thats not true they conduct business in a professional manor BUT that is a LIE. They will tell you they will fix repairs before buying a vehicle, document it in the agreement and then return your car with the same issue. Also your car will start to reveal more an more "covered" damages. For the amount they want for down payments, if you can...take your money elsewhere. This place is not worth anyones time or money. No need for the owner to respond to my complaint, Im just glad I dont have to deal with this company anymore. Im sure they will deny all I said, but all the negative reviews basically have the same issue with this company. Im just glad I dont have to deal with this company anymore, and can enjoy a vehicle from a dealer who respects their customers!j ***The response from the owner as I stated earlier is a joke, and they try to sound like their a decent company! The owner is not dissatisfied about what I said in my review nor is he confused. Of course he says these things so customers will think he is running a good dealership. To future buyers beware, pay attention to the negative reviews. The positive ones are not honest reviews those people just received an incentive for placing a positive review. Even though I was able to secure another vehicle, I know everyone doesnt have those financial resources. An as a consumer we must provide accurate feedback so that the next buyer can avoid dealing with an unprofessional company like this one!

Dont let the cars or the easy process fool you! Make sure you read the contract! Great place to go if you want to get ripped off with the interest rate! I bought a 06 Nissan Sentra turned out to be on a (REBUILT TITLE) from there, a few days into having the car the engine light came on, took to them to see what was wrong and all they did was reset the light after numerous times of it coming on. Had to take it to a real mechanic to find out I had a controlled systems leak. I ended up trading it in just to get out of the contract that you sign there. When I went to trade it in at ricart, the car salesman did the math and literally told me " of the $45 dollars that you pay them weekly, only $7 was going towards the car and the rest was interest. So when your looking at the inventory and see the cars with $30-75 weekly payments OR ANY CAR THERE PERIOD chances are your going to pay 25 to 30% more than asking price in the long run for cars with warrantees that arent worth it. When ever I would make a payment on my car in cash, I would ask them how much of it was going towards the car, they could never give me a direct answer or when I was ahead on payments and wanted to make an additional payment, there was a guy there who would always make it apparent that I was ahead on my payments as if he didnt want me to make one. The cars arent that bad of shape in fact theyre pretty good but my advice if you want to get more for your money, and be efficient with your money, I wouldnt recommend this place unless you buy out the car with cash if you can trust the window price......witch I wouldnt.

First, let me be clear, Clintonville Auto Sales deals with many Rebuilt Salvage cars. This is not a bad thing but just know when shopping here for your car. Their collision shop next door does most of the work and as far as I can tell they do pretty good work. On to the sales experience. After talking with a few of the "big name" dealers in the area and getting the feeling they just wanted to sell me a car, any car, so they can collect a commission check, it was refreshing to walk into Clintonville Auto Sales. The night we walked in, Larissa V. was already busy handling multiple people with car sales but she did so with professionalism and skill. She even fit us in after hours and made us feel just as important as the people who had made appointments. After settling on a car, 2005 Toyota Corolla with low miles, she showed us the before pics and told us all thats been done. Then after calling our insurance company and finding out they didnt want to deal with a rebuilt title. Larissa and her boss told us of a few companies who do. They even said if we couldnt get insured they would refund our deposit no questions asked. In the end their info end up saving us $50 a month on our insurance bill(Thanks, guys) So if you want super low-pressure sales and great prices on great cars, check these guys out. They are definitely worth a look.

I found a cute little Honda here that I was dying for; good condition and a great price. The first question I asked was about the past owners, accidents, etc.. He pulled up a database and explained that it was in a minor front end collision and all that needed replaced was the front bumper and headlights, he then went on to say that they do not work with totaled vehicles. I was thrilled, so I bought the car. When I left with the car it desperately needed an alignment so I went to a local mechanic and he told me the tie rods and lower control arms were all broken along with the rotors, ball joints, and brakes. The car was completely unsafe to drive. I called Clintonville and they helped, explained I would have to pay for parts but they would do the labor; seemed fair enough to me. When I finally got the car back in my possession I took it to the bmv to get it registered. The young lady pointed out that I had a "salvage/rebuilt" title and that the car had been totaled when the dealership received it. Needless to say I was furious. I know they tried to make it right, but overall, new tie rods dont make up for a big lie and a totaled car.

Clintonville Car Sales Inc. has been a very positive and productive experience for me. The inventory of automobiles that they offer are quality forms of transportation that has proven to be great investments. This was my first “Bye Here, Pay Here” endeavor and I was initially very apprehensive. I think I was fortunate that Larisa was my first form of contact. She was very patient, honest and most of all fair with my first purchase. My payments were very manageable, so I quickly paid the car off. I was impressed that they offered a 12 month warranty on the engine at no extra charge. That kind of interaction enabled me to seriously consider her suggestion to upgrade and use the purchase car as a trade in {I received a GREAT trade in value}, which meant I did not require a down payment. I have been more than satisfied with doing business with them, which is why I have purchased two cars from them. I typically do not do reviews, endorsements or share business outcomes; however, in these economically challenging times I felt the need to share my positive experience. C.
