Reviews:

I read all these reviews on here and have to say that 98% of them are true. My father and I went here because after my divorce my credit went down hill. We were amazed at how many vehicles they had and that they didn`t have over 100,000 miles on them. Every other car lot we went to that helped people with bad cedit had cars with over 100,000 miles on them. The vehicles we looked at all had newer inspections and were ... view morenewer. We are so impressed with this place that we made up a little advertisement for our church members to see. When we told Southside Motors about advertiseing at our church they said that if anybody comes in and says they saw the advertisement at the church that they would donate $100 if they buy a car. So far 2 other people from our church bought cars from them and they sent the church $200. These people are so different from the other car lots we went to. Save yourself a lot of time and frustration and just go to Southside Motors first...

I just got my second vehicle here last week. I bought my first one about 21/2 years ago and was so pleased with the way they helped me with the rent to own finance deal they have I decided to go back to them. I got a 06 Chevy Cobalt the first time and really didn`t have any problems with it. The rent to own finance is only a 21/2 year term and after you make the payments you own it. I did have to pay around $200.00 t... view moreo transfer the car into my name but heck I paid that with no problem. I gave this car to my girlfriend and went back in and told them I wanted to get a SUV this time. I ended up getting a 2007 Chevy Trailblazer. Now I know I`m paying more then if I could do reguar finance but I tried to get a car financed from 4 different places and they all told me they couldn`t help me. I think I ended up paying about $1500.00 more but when you consider the fact that you get a 2 year warranty with it and the payment includes tax and everything. I`m pretty sure this is the only place in the Pittsburgh area that does the rent to own finance with no credit checks. This place has nice vehicles and decent miles on them and nothing over 100,000 miles on them. Most of the ones I looked at were around 50,000 to 70,000 miles on them. I would say if your having trouble getting a nice car or suv because of credit problems you should give this place a try.

I always take time to investigate a business before making a big purchase. I think I read 20 sum reviews on Southside Motors and could only find 2 bad reviews. I decided that after reading how this place helps so many people that this is the place I want to buy from. I stopped on a Sunday afternoon because I work all week and on Saturdays. I figured I would see what kind of cars they had and go in over my Christmas v... view moreacation. When I pulled into the lot there was someone coming out the door and he came over and said hello to me and ask if I had any questions. I told him I didn`t want to bother him on Christmas Eve. It ended up being one of the owners and when he saw that me car had a bad inspection sticker he said that he didn`t want me to get a ticket and he would help get a new car even though they were closed. This guy dropped what he was doing and spent a hour with me until I found the car I wanted to get. Ohhhh!!!! I did ask him about the bad review and he told me that the person was using there car as a taxi service and 3 different times did not have car insurance. After he told me about them using it for a taxi service I realized it was my EX brother in law because he got a car from this place also. I can tell you that Southside Motors worked with him on several occasions to get insurance and he never did. I know for a fact that he used the warranty 2 times and had no problems. One time after he had the car for 8 months the transmission went bad and the warranty paid for it and the next time after he put 14,000 miles on it the power sterring pump went bad and the warranty company paid for that to. Trust I know him and I`m glad he is my EX brother in law. Don`t believe the scum ball this place is great and they really do want to help you. Not like most car places.

At first I thought it was to good to be true when I saw the television commercial. I ended up going down and checking them out and I`m glad I did because these folks are great and really took the time to work with me. I will say after reading the other reviews on here that this place is for real and if your at a bad spot in your life and need a little help you should check them out. I give this place 6 stars..

I wish I went here before driving all around to 3 different places because they say you only have to put $499.00 down and they guarantee credit approval. The one place wanted me to get a 1999 Ford Taurus with 110,000 miles on it and put $499.00 plus tax and tags down witch would be roughly $1500.00 down. Then they wanted me to make 48 payments of $300.00 a month. I would have to be a fool to do that. I finally went ... view moreto Southside Motors and found a 2005 Chevy Cobalt with 69,000 miles on it with only $2000.00 down and I got a 2 year 24,000 mile warranty. This place didn`t even do a credit check and I was in and out in about 45 minutes. I swear I sat at Pittsburgh Auto Depot for over 2 hours only to be told I could get a 1999 Taurus. I should of listened to my brother and just went to Southside motors first..

Editorial review from Citysearch

They did me right and I will make sure that everyone I talk to knows it. It`s hard to believe I`m driving in style again. I drive my customers from house to house to sell them and I can`t be driving something that is going to break down on me or looks bad. I have not had any problems so far and it has been 7 months and about 8500 miles. Good place here.

Me and my hubby bought our car from

Me and my hubby bought our car from here about a month ago and we can`t thank these people enough. My hubby lost his job last year and needless to say our lives went down the drain. We lost our house 2 cars and our credit went down with it. I think we either called or went to every car place in Pittsburgh and none of them were going to let us get a nice car that we would not be ashamed to drive. Our landlord knew our... view more situation and told us that her grandson had gone through some tough times and was having a hard time trying to get a decent car until he went to Southside Motors. We went in about 5:00 and the one owner said that they close at 6:00. We told him that we took a taxi to get there and we really needed to get a car and it was hard for us to get there. He told us that he would stay and help us out. We are still shocked that one of the owners stayed late to help us out. He told us that they don`t have sales people and you deal directly with the 2 owners. That is pretty much unheard of anymore. He told us if we had any problems to call him and he would handle it. Everywhere eles we went we talked to salesmen that tried to screw us.

I just want to take a few minutes to let people know about how good I was treated at this car lot. I told them about my job loss and that my credit sucked and they told me not to worry because they didn`t even check credit and that I still would be able to get a good running car. I have had my car for 8 months and only had to take it back one time and all it was was the radio plug came out. These people are great and... view more will go the extra mile to help you.
