These guys are amazing! They made the whole process extremely quick and easy. They were very flexible with me and gave me piece of mind when leaving with my vehicle making sure that everything I could need was already done and set up for me! Would definitely recommend and would work with them again! Great business!
Just bought a super clean dodge from Tes and Jose. Everything was just as described, they had the Carfax with a clean history on it. It was beautifully detailed, and well under Kelly BB. They were very polite and friendly and made a lot of effort to make everything easy.
Great people to work with, and I would definitely work with them again! Thank you for an honest and overall wonderful experience. It truly felt like buying a car from a friend, no pressure and easy process!
Tez and his team were incredible to work with. They came in during their off hours, on a Sunday to help me square the deal away, and send me off with full and good conscience about the vehicle. They are honorable salesmen and business people, I hope they continue treating people so well.
I'm 63 and a mature and responsible person so take my review to heart b4 buying from these people. I had found a 2008 Hummer from these people with a rare color that I wanted but they were 2700 miles from me so I sent them a message asking how much to ship to me in Tennessee. A guy named Jose responded in just a few minutes and said they have shippers and it would be 1400 dollars and they would get it on the truck the day after I paid for it. I thought that was reasonable so the next day I called Jose to see about buying the vehicle. I asked him several questions about the condition of the vehicle and he said it was very nice. He also said they get them inspected free for me b4 paying for it. I said thats great so I made them an offer of 22k. They came back at 22,500 which I accepted. Now I waited all day for the inspection and it didn't happen. The next day I was also waiting and then Jose said other people were asking questions about the Hummer so I got scared it would sell so I wired them the money for it. Now the next day they finally got it inspected from Firestone. Firestone said it needed about 2k in basic repaires like brakes etc. I now tried to negotiate with Jose and the owner Martez about the repairs. They both said that they were paying for some of the shipping and that I was getting a good deal on the vehicle so they couldn't repair anything. Martez the owner said he had bought this vehicle for himself 6 months ago and has driven it 500 miles and it was a nice vehicle so I accepted this and was now waiting to receive my vehicle. Several days go by and Jose is making every excuse on why my vehicle is not being shipped so I started talking only with the owner Martez. He now says gas prices have gone up and its gonna cost 1900 to ship instead of the 1400 that they put in writing so I now have to split the difference and pay 1650 to get my truck. Now they finally ship my Hummer. Upon delivery I'm excited and jump in it for a drive. I open the driver door and there is a terrible loud popping noise from the driver door. I get in it and go to turn the lights on cause its dark and the light switch panel pushes into the dash because it is broken. I'm now starting to feel uneasy about the vehicle so I start checking out other things. I find that the automatic running board does not work when opening the drivers side passenger door. I now drive the vehicle and when trying to put the vehicle into the 3 different 4 wheel drive modes none of them work. I am now very upset but I wait till the next day to calm down and be professional about this. I send Martez a long text message about all these things as he had told me himself that he has driven this 500 miles and had it for 6 months so he had to know about all these things. He called me and made excuses. He said when they did the walk around video it showed that the automatic running board didn't work when the passenger door was opened. Like who's gonna notice that on a video. So we agree to put it in the local Chevrolt dealership to see the cost of fixing the 4 wheel drive. I pay 150 dollars to have it checked out and they say its going to be about 850. I was going to pay half of that but he baulked and started saying I needed to find a cheaper part and find someone cheaper to fix it. At this point I'm done communicating with these people and writing this long review. These people are liars and cheats. They have lied from the start to the finish of this car deal. He had this Hummer 6 months. Drove it 500 miles. He knew all these things were wrong with it and didnt spend one penny to fix anything. I asked him several time to please be honest with me about the condition of the vehicle as I have had bad experiences with car deals before. He put on a very nice show acting so sincere and believable.They are all about the money they can make on someone and don't care about the customers at all. I would never, ever buy or recommend buying anything from these people. As an additional note they run about 3 different car operations with different names in the same area.
