The sale was more important than the customer. They were not knowledgeable about their cars. Process started well when Leo (owner) met with me out of regular hours for a test drive. Didnt offer the best information on the car. He offered lots of, "It runs great. No issues. One owner trade in. This is the best price you will find on this car." Instead of really knowing the state of the car and passing that information along. For instance he told me he drove the car a few hundred miles, but... -He was surprised that the car didnt start for us after it started earlier (1st start fine, test drove, 2nd start-nothing). It was a loose battery connection. -Didnt realize that coolant reservoir was empty! (More on this later) -Let me find the rust on my own -Said it wasnt a bad car to drive when the car I was driving is ranked as one of the least fun cars to drive. -etc. I told him the price I would pay for the car, which was significantly lower than he asked for, and I didnt change it, but it took him over an hour to finally say he couldnt do it. Once I confirmed plans to buy another car, I told him, "Sorry it didnt work, but thanks for your time." He told me he figured out a way to make it work. Later I learned that it was essentially tax fraud. I signed the papers and bought the car. Later I drove it 8 miles home and troubleshot the battery issue. While I did this, I discovered the lack of coolant, which immediately escalate all of the smaller red flags I had been okay with. At this point I knew this wasnt the car I thought I bought. So, I planned on taking it back the next day and getting some money back. Next morning I drove it back (8 miles) and the check engine light came on! It was for the mass air flow sensor and intake air temp sensor, which are easy fixes and were probably caused by the battery issue, but I was even more unnerved. Once Leo, the owner, came in I talked with him about my new discoveries and told him that Id like him to take the car back, but I wanted to reimburse him for the hassle. He said that all of the issues I uncovered were not big deals especially considering the price, including the fact that it was missing coolant! I told him no coolant is a serious problem and I wanted him to take the car back. Eventually he told me it would be $1000. I knew he hadnt mailed the paperwork yet and that he couldnt have spent more than 6 hours on this (including this meeting) So, I said 8 hours at $20/hour. He said that once the paperwork is filled out, his costs are sunk, and that he wouldnt work for less than $100/hour, so $1000 was a good price. We settled on $780.

Bought a car that he claimed he just got in and he would do all the work to it that needed done over charged me didnt do the work he claimed and also told me that his operations does work on cars and also inspects them.. This place is a cliche used car lot fast talking and worried about a sale... The car I bought in February is junk and he knows it. I would recommend this place to my worst enemy so he can get a junk car from a fast talking salesman... With no car knowledge and who will tell you anything you want to hear.. The post from the guy before me with the one star is accurate to my experience.. Go to a repetitive dealer stay away from this place as I have to trade my car in or get another one already cus its gonna need a lot for inspection which again he told me they do inspections LIE and anytime I did have a problem he was only interested in how he could make money he sold me junk and he knows it anytime Id call him he was zero help especially when he told me they do work on cars... One word I can say bout this place is fast talking crooks... The type who give used car salesman a bad name... STAY AWAY FROM HERE!!

I just bought my daughter a Ford Ranger pick up from Leo, who runs this place. Great experience! This place is quirky and a little run down, but the cars are trustworthy (Im driving a Caravan I bought there 4 years ago) and very inexpensive. If a car is basic transport, not a fashion accessory, try here first
