Went to look at another truck and had a conversation with their "master ase certified" technician who claimed a RUBBER BUSHING could not be ripped and cocked sideways. Which is exactly what I said was wrong. 2 LCA bushings were ripped, and cocked sideways with the WEIGHT of the truck on it. Not to mention the rack bushings were gone also. The mechanic wanted to LIFT the truck to "PROVE ME WRONG". I surely hope he was going to load the LCAs to check that bushing because without the weight u cannot see that it is ripped and the rubber is hanging out of the SLEEVE. The mechanic told me "HOW COULD THE SLEEVE BE COCKED SIDEWAYS". I mean I never mentioned that the sleeve was cocked but OK.... I had to leave because he disrespected me way too far. They acted like 10k was alot of cash, they had asked me at least 3 times "YOU HAVE 10 GRAND CASH FOR THIS TRUCK RIGHT NOW." Which I did, but after dealing with these individuals, Id rather spend my money elsewhere. The first lady I dealt with also said they had a Saturn VUE sit on their lot for 4 years.... and wouldnt accept my 03 g35 sedan with all kinds of goodies, (a manila folder of receipts for the car was given to them so they could see how much invested) for any more then $1000 because it was a 5SPD. Well technically its a 6 speed, and Im not sure how you could compare a Saturn vue FAMILY car to a g35 265 hp 260tq sport sedan..... trade in value of my car at my miles is $2600. My rims are ruffly 650~800 on craigslist used, they are the Infiniti staggard 19s with brand new Yokohamas, not to mention the $1300 d2 coil overs the employees didnt know was on the car. I can see why they are not to good at making sales, the truck I tried to buy been on their lot a few months already. I tried to refrain from going back here to look at anything as i previously had not a so good experience. But I looked at it and it was clean truck. Too bad they lost a sale, I guess a 24 year old guy cant have 10,000 to buy a vehicle, and all 5 speed cars are the same. Lord help the owner of this business. Shoot if they would have given me $2500 i would have been cool with that..... But It doesnt even have anything to do with what they offered me for my car. The employees running this shop are far from professional. I never even got the keys to see if there was a check engine light, let alone look under the hood. I brought my $2000 scan tool with me, I mean not everybody just has a $2000 scan tool so I figured maybe they would get the point that Im serious about checking out the vehicle and making an offer, but we didnt even get that far. The employees didnt even pop the hood to my car let alone look under my car to see the expensive suspension upgrades. I could barely stand there 5 minutes and conversate with these individuals. I didnt even want to argue, these are the kind of people you cant argue with, they are always right lol. Ive been working on cars for 12 years, Ive even been through a 2 year college program. I am very knowledgeable about cars, and I take my time to look at something before making any type of factual comments. People who buy sports sedans like to drive manual but hell what do I know LOL. I guess dont bring any 5 speed car to this lot regardless of what make and model it is because its all comparable if you cant drive a manual car. Its not like on the side of US-1 somebody might not see anything sitting on their lot. I was kind of utterly disgusted from start to beginning of this place, even on the phone, I could barely get the lady to go outside and check to see if the truck had rust on it I had to drive 45 minutes to look myself. I guess if youre going to work on a car lot... you should probably know a little about cars..... or even offer somebody a test drive, or the keys to look inside the truck before you talk about an offer. Guess Im going to go to the dealership and buy a pre-owned certified. They will probably at least me with respect. All bad reviews on google about this company are true. STAY FARRR AWAY from this place!!!!!!!!!

My boyfriend referred me to this place, hes bought several vehicles from here, so I thought why not? I laid down $1000 and paid $175 biweekly for less than 3 months (I bought it in late january). Friday (04/07) it broke down on the side of the road and was shooting gunk out of it!! this truck had multiple problems that I fixed in the past few months, but never engine wise. Granted, it did tick when it rolled off their property but what old vehicle doesnt have a small tick? I finally cripple it there to the dealership where the "mechanic" told me it was the "thermostat". so heres some more money going into this truck. We got a thermostat and before we could get it home from the parts store 2 mins from the house it starts smoking and dies!! we started it up and made it home, we replaced thermostat and flushed everything out and it was still smoking!! Back to the parts store we went (in someone elses vehicle.) And bought gasket sealer In a last chance effort to save my truck, the next morning I drive it to work where it died at a very busy intersection and I had to push it somewhere. After I got it to safety it wouldnt start!! i had to leave it because i had to get to work! Now, they wont do anything for me, not even give a single mom a vehicle of common cost for her troubles!!! Dont buy a vehicle from them EVER!! Its the biggest waste of money you can ever spend unless you want to pay for a vehicle that is a mechanics special because thats what youll get!!

I am from out of state like over 1,300 miles away. Not knowing any business for any mechanical work I came upon Car Nation - It is for this reason I have to say that they have awesome business ethics. I was not happy to pay for something that I felt was already diagnosed. When Tony explained it then I felt it was okay. Tony also worked with me with my limited finances so I can pay to replace my a/c. I was impressed because I had to wait and in no time at all the job was completed. I was treated with nothing but respect. They are family run and honest to the core puling no punches. Recommended for those who appreciate the right way to get things repaired

These people are a joke. They sold me an accura tl 3.2 which had a transmission problem right off the bat that would stall the car out and then launch it at like twenty mph. They had it for a week to fix it and said it was fixed, but the minute I picked up, it did the same thing. They told me theyd trade me and gave me a Nissan Maxima. Had a power steering leak so bad I had to refill it at least once a day. Ac compressor failed. They sell you junky cars that are broken and then beg you for the money. Its nice that they give you a chance to catch up, but two cars that are broken is enough for me. I highly dont recommend them.
