These folks were a pleasure to work with from the get go. No pressure, no inflating false expectations. I enjoyed working with them, and that's coming from someone who usually despises dealerships. Yes, a lot of the cars on this lot will need work and you should set your expectations as such. Know what you're getting into, just like anywhere else. Great for a wrench turner like myself though. Thanks guys!! Keep up the good work.
Really great customer service and sales work from all the employees. My girlfriend and I had a very easy time working with these guys. They gave me plenty of time and space to personally do my entire inspection on the vehicle before continuing any paperwork. These vehicles are not meant for people wanting an easy cheap deal, many of them need significant work right off the bat. Although if you definitely know your way around cars you can definitely weed your way through their inventory and snag some very good vehicles with very little to no work needed. Would happily go through here again personally but I would only recommend to my mechanically inclined friends/family.
This place is an absolute DREAM. I came in w my partner just to do a test drive and check out some cars and I ended up falling in love with the first one we drove! It’s an amazing vehicle but that’s not why I’m leaving a review. These guys had bent their backs backwards for us to get this car bc they saw how excited we were and with us expecting we really needed a new reliable vehicle. This guys are truly a godsend from heaven lol. I would absolutely recommend this place to anybody that is needing to get a vehicle!
I had a great experience at the Monkey lot, it's an easy service and at-your-own-risk, but you can test-drive and look into any vehicle you want with ease. The employees are very helpful and work fast and diligently. I found a car and was in and out quickly! It was a fun experience and I definitely recommend them.
I'm leaving this review so hopefully no one makes my mistake. I bought a car, loved it. A week later the engine is blown and needs a new one. I didn't understand the concept of a monkey lot when buying. I was told as is but the test drives where good. I still owe on the car and will have to pay $3k to get the engine replaced. I'm broke and just needed a commuter car and I just feel like they knew about the car despite saying that they don't inspect. It hurts so much to be put in the situation. It's going to take a year for me to save enough to fix it and that's after my loan is pain. I'm giving two stars because in the end they tricked me and that's my fault.
