This is a shady place to buy a car. The car we bought had oil in the third cylinder coil. The owner said if there was anything in the first five days he would take it back. We call about this issue and he says that we broke the car in the first three days of having it!!!!! Are you serious!!!!
Did not buy a car from here, haha bought a riding mower but bill is an awesome person to deal with and I wouldn't hesitate to buy a car from him, very nice and honest!
More later!
I'm going to extract this money from your pocket one way or another, John and Bill at Golden Auto Sales, whether it be by you cutting me a check for something that's fair, or lost revenue from potential car buyers(think about what one set of eyeballs on this review does to your pocket).
They sell you vehicles claiming to 'need nothing' with 'perfect autochecks', ship them out to you for you to find they need new MAIN seals, clutches, and tires. And it grinds when cold suggesting the syncros are bad. My $1000+ mechanic bill would suggest it needed more than 'nothing'. If I want to fix the syncros that's at least another 500 bucks. Tires would probably be 3-400.
I've been going to my mechanic for 8 years. It's the type of place you would expect the person I described above to take their vehicle. They've given me my vehicle back and said there is nothing wrong with it and that I was imagining it. They've given it back to me and told me the fix was a $10 gas cap. Family owned and operated, stack of testimonials the size of a phone book in the lobby, the owner and his wife behind the counter, etc. His wife has shuttled me to and from my house several times. It's that kind of place. It's called Accurate Automotive in Mesa, AZ. Check them out, they know everything. Ask about Steve and the white mustang that got shipped here. Ask me too, anything you like. Message me on here, call me, ask to see my paperwork, more pics, call my work, anything you like to ensure you make the right car buying decision.
What did they do when I informed them about these pre-existing damages? Imagine a parrot that knee-jerkingly vomits out "Nope. The car was perfect. Squaawwwk. Nope. The car was perfect". The instant I mentioned repairs this guy(John) hit flipmode on me and the ol' 'aw shucks', family owned and operated bit went out the flippin' window. I tried to reason with them and even gave them a heads up that I would be posting many horrible reviews and they just didn't care. Believe it. Super classy, right?
Typical sleazy used car dealership. They will not tell you what is wrong with the vehicle. Either that or their technician is not properly trained enough to assess the existing damages. I would never in my life recommend these people to anyone for a used vehicle.
Bill was a very helpful, knowledgeable and honest salesman. I would highly recommend buying a car here.
Quick credibility check, for what it's worth. I'm a 35 year old man who has been driving as his job for the last 2 decades. I'm the most skilled driver at my place of employment. I've owned 30 vehicles in my life. Cars, trucks, motorcycles, V8s, 4 bangers, autos, manuals, low riders, lifted trucks, you name it. My other car is a Toyota with about 204,000 miles on it. It's a manual. Bought it new and have babied it ever since. 15 years ago I scored a perfect on the test to get into the military(3 out of every 1500 people do that). Which sounds more likely to you - the person I just described grinding, burning, and chewing up that clutch(see pictures), busting the main seal, and magically dry rotting 3 tires around the entire circumference..... or maybe this small time used car dealership just isn't very honest and hasn't realized the power of social media yet?
Since I turned 16 I've been having my cars bought and repaired at Golden Auto Sales. Over that time I've never once had an issue. They seem legitimately concerned about making sure you're happy with the sale and will go out of their way to address any concerns or complaints. Kevin, their mechanic, above all is one of the nicest people I've ever met and is extremely quick and precise with his work.
