These guys are absolutely amazing. Dawson was very helpful in getting me a good car. He was fully transparency and honest the whole way through. I'd reccommend them to anyone. ALSO THEY HAVE CATS!!!

Wow! My husband and I recently purchased a 2007 Hyundai Santa Fe from A1 Auto Sales, and we couldn’t be happier. The vehicle is in pristine condition for its year and has low miles. We drove it from Nebraska to California (over 23 hours) and it was the smoothest ride ever! The car is reliable, clean, and truly an amazing purchase. Dawson was the kindest salesman, incredibly knowledgeable about all the vehicles on the lot. Although we had to wait a bit for the title after purchasing, Dawson made sure it was mailed to us as soon as possible. And not to mentionβ€”the shop has the two most adorable kitties to keep you company while you browse! ❀️ Thank you A1!!

I had a great experience working with Bart to purchase my son's first vehicle. By far the easiest car purchase I have ever made.

Bart seems like a nice guy and overall the experience was good. I bought a Subaru from these guys and I am satisfied with it. Due to a very bad experience with a previous dealer, I did have it pre-purchase inspected and I would highly recommend that even if the vehicle seems fine, since it does give you a bit more bargaining power and peace of mind. The ability to access Carfax data on the website is a bonus and I would also highly recommend that. As a tip, you can export Carfax data by printing it to a PDF and upload it to an LLM like ChatGPT or Grok to get a 2nd opinion and help find inconsistencies. My review is 4 stars because we agreed to fit 4 new tires and top up oil and coolant which were both low. They did fit new tires but the fluids weren't topped up, I stupidly did not check before driving off, discovered this about a week later and had to do it myself. It may not be their fault, they do rely on a third party mechanic (Honest Auto), but I was a little disappointed since had I not checked, it could've resulted in completely avoidable engine damage. When I pulled out the dipstick, it was so low the oil was a faint smear so I'm very thankful I caught it in time. Though I do believe had I called about this, they would've addressed it. I just chose to handle it myself since I've started a new job and haven't really got the free time to chase a dealer over an issue like this, it was just easier to buy coolant and oil then do it myself. As always it's AS-IS WITHOUT WARRANTY and they're professional sales people so do your due diligence so you have the best chance of driving away with something that'll serve you well for years to come.

I did have a good review of this place because the service in itself was great, that just sold me the biggest piece of crap. I get buying a used vehicle is a gamble, but this is reductions. I have had it for almost 2 years and it's been nothing but issue after issue. I should have know when it leaked oil the day I drive it off the lot. They before through the process which was good, but it was a series of issues that had cost me around $4k so far. And I'm still paying this things for another 3 years. Do yourself a favor and just go pay more at a legit dealer. You'd be risking it all with this place.

These guys are great! I requested a test drive and drove away a happy customer the very next day! The price listed is what you pay and everything flows so smoothly. Bart was the salesman that assisted me. He even went in on his day off to make sure I could get into the vehicle I had my eyes on. All of the gentleman working at this shop are friendly, welcoming, committed and honest! We need more businesses with integrity and customer service such as this one. I will be spreading the word, without a doubt! Thank you again, sincerely. :)

This was one of the best experiences I got at a dealership. They were patient and very helpful with any questions we had. We ended up buying a Nissan Altima. By the time we left, we noticed they even stayed open overtime for us, always with the best attitude!

We were looking for a decent first car for our daughter. We found one on the website and made an inquiry, after hours. Dawson called shortly after I made the inquiry and told us about the car and for us to come look at it anytime. We went to look at it and Dawson and the entire team were so friendly and answered all questions. We appreciated all that of their help.

I recently bought a Jeep from they guys here. ALL of them were amazing to work with!! The next day a storm blew in and I realized the heat did not work. I took it to a shop to have it looked at. We took the Jeep back to them and gave them the estimate from the shop. They were very apologetic and got it to their shop right away and gave us a loaner while we wait for the repairs to be done. Love these guys!

Worth the drive-this place is a diamond in the rough! Terry, Donovan and Gage made me feel like I had an extra uncle and 2 brothers helping me. I found exactly what I wanted at a great price and had a gorgeous cat in my lap to sign paperwork with! They even provided a small adjustment at my request (I'm short😆) to accommodate my comfort level, as I had just been in a bad accident and was a little nervous. Couldn't have had a better experience and I love my new to me car! Her name is Lola😁💜 Thank you guys! Much appreciated!!

Was premature in my review. Earlier. The vehicle had a safety issue and they weren't willing to work with me. I understand it's as is deal. But, I brought this to their attention. So, I'm stuck with paying for the repair bill.
