Love my new Subaru! It is SUPER clean on the inside and in very good shape! Jim was fair on his price and there was no need to negotiate. I let him know what I wanted and the purchase was completed in a day. He even made me a key fob for the locks!

Hands down this was the finest used car buying experience I have ever had from anyone anywhere. Jim and his crew at Charleston Auto Sales are honest, friendly and they are definitely not the pushy. I never felt pressured to buy a car and that was a great feeling of relief. I was free to test drive as many cars as I wanted and after spending almost 2 hours driving several cars I selected my 2001 Subaru Forester. These guys do a lot to prep work on their cars before they sell them and that includes replacing timing belts, replacing head gaskets, oil changes, detailing and in my case new tires and a front wheel bearing replacement. For me the car was a huge bargain for $4,000. It was an old car and I wasn't going ot have to be saddled with those maintenance bills later. A week after I drove away from the sales lot the check engine light came on and Jim told me to bring it back. When I did he had his mechanics stop what they were doing and they fixed the issues and get me back on the road. I was very impressed with the way they took care of my car's problems (there were two) and I drove away very satisfied. I seriously wonder how many other dealers would have treated me like that since my car was so old and I had been gone for so long. Based on my experience in dealing with Jim and his crew I feel very confident in recommending Charleston Auto Sales to anyone who is looking for a used Subaru.

An ethical used car salesman? It's not an oximoron at Charleston Auto Sales! Jim was wonderful every step of the way. No pressure. No slick talk. He listened to what I was looking for and helped me find a car I love within my price range. With two young children in my life, I didn't have a lot of extra energy or time to shop around. I needed to find a quality used Subaru, one that wouldn't break down a month after I bought it. The car that I wanted had some mechanical issues, but Jim and his crew were able to take care of things at an incredibly reasonable price, to ensure I had trustworthy transportation for my family. Thank you Jim! You are an awesomely decent human being! I would highly recommend you to all my friends.

Jim, the owner, was great to work with. I went to look at his cars about two and a half years ago but did not find one that suited me. Got a car somewhere else but was in an accident and it got totaled. Went back to Jim because I had a great experience working with him before and found a Subaru I love in March. Engine lights came on within a week of purchasing it and he was more than willing to fix it for me and have not had any problems since. He is knowledgeable about the cars but super laid back and not pushy, which I very much prefer in a dealership. I have texted him questions since and he always is quick to answer. I have sent two other people to get Subaru's from him and they both are very happy with their cars. Thanks Jim!

We had a great experience at Charleston Auto Sales. We purchased a Subaru for our daughter, because it is one of the best cars on the market... They all have head gasket and timing belt issues that are common, which Jim replaces, with new, on most of the cars he sells, which is great! He has specialized in Subaru's for years and knows the ins and outs. We were able to test drive the vehicles we were interested in and all our questions were answered. It was very nice to deal with a small business man that at no time made us feel pressured.
