I was helping my sister look for a car. At first she couldn’t get approved and we thought the deal was dead. Carlos followed up with us and ended up getting her into a newer Kia than we expected. Appreciate the help and would recommend him!

Had a great experience here! It was fast and straight to the point. Tristan helped me out with purchasing my first vehicle and made the experience go as smooth as possible.

Jr GarnicaAug 29, 2026

Tristan was awesome. Got me a nice car and I love it. Had a bad experience at the dealership next door but Tristan got it done for me. Ask for him!

Shannon NuccioAug 29, 2026

From my initial phone call Jonny was super helpful and welcoming. We went in with not very high expectations because we were working with a “poor/fair” credit score and a repo on our credit. But even with those issues Jonny and the team were able to get us into a car with a low monthly payment. Even after leaving with the car Jonny has always been a text or call away if I had any questions regarding the car. He has also checked in to make sure I was still satisfied with the vehicle. We will definitely be returning in the future.

Cristal RodriguezAug 28, 2026

Tristin and Johnathan were friendly and had excellent customer service. They helped us find an affordable car that is perfect for a small family. They were quick to schedule an appointment and make sure the car is clean prior to taking it off the lot. They make sure all of their cars have clean titles .

ABIGAIL MORGANAug 18, 2026

Friendly, good price on the car. Not super pushy in a rude way like some dealerships. Tried to give the rate and price I asked for. Only wish they had verbally pointed out the added costs of the theft system and stuff before we agreed to the offer.

Rebecca StewartAug 17, 2026

We got a good deal on car, just ask for Tristan. Thank you
