Very satisfied across the boar...

Very satisfied across the board...we came in not sure what to expect as we have had some credit issues in the past, but we were treated right from the beginning...most places make you feel like you shouldnt be there just because youve had some issues in the past, i got laid off three years ago and went through some tough times, but it doesnt mean im a scumbag. we went to toyota and basically got thrown out. we were... view more about to go home when we saw this new place with a huge green sign and pulled in. Our salesperson kendale greeted us and made us feel welcome. he didnt treat us any different when we told him we had some credit issues either. they have a huge selection and kendale helped us find a vehicle that was right for our size and money needs. he helped us work payments out that were affordable and made sure we were happy after the sale. we knew we were buying a used vehicle and werent expecting it to be perfect, but the vehicle was clean and reliable and drives great. kendale called us a couple qweeks later just to make sure everything was still going good with it. his managers, derrick, jason and toby all thanked us on the way out. we sent one of our friends there a week later and they bought alos. kendale called me after that and had a check for me for reffering my buddy. overall great experience highly recomend

Please Beware

I wish I was aware and did more research before coming to this place. My husband and I just moved here and I desperately needed a vehicle and we chose this place. I can`t go into detail without getting too upset, but the first car we bought as a cash purchase drove for 2 weeks and died. They did try to rectify this after weeks of harrassing, but only to use it to make us come back to purchase another vehicle. Our sec... view moreond vehicle had several problems they tried to ignore and skate around, but the car wouldn`t even move off the lot after we signed the papers. We purchased a new battery 2minutes after buying the car, literally. I know used cars dealers have to make a living, but there are used car dealers making it an honest living. Putting people in cars that aren`t safe and reliable isn`t honest especially people with children. I honestly wish I would have never walked in there. I don`t want anyone, even a stranger, going through what we went through and still going through.

Satisfied customer

we drove by the dealership a few times with the big green sign out front on rivers ave and thought it was a buy here pay here lot. We happened to see a nice looking tahoe one day that seemed like it was too nice to be an on lot financing car so called and inquired. we found out that while they do offer buy here pay here they also have financing for people with all types of credit. While our credit is far from perf... view moreect it is fair. they sold us the Tahoe at a price much lower than other ones we had looked at with the same miles and options. they also got us a very low interest rate through one of the local credit unions and a very affordable payment. the salesperson, Tim, was fantastic. he bent over backwards to make sure we were happy. Derrick in the finance office was friendly and explained everything in detail. The entire place had a very laid back low pressure feel to it, not like most of the chain car dealerships we were used to. we were actually a little worried about the price being so low thinking maybe something was wrong with the vehicle but after being provided with a carfax they explained that a big part of the reason their prices are lower is that because they are not a franchise store that they arent having to pay toyota or nissan or anyone else to use theie name and sell their products, this made a lot of sense to us. we would recommend them again in a heartbeat. if you are looking for a car i suggest you try economy cars on rivers ave

Disappointed

Well I will start off by saying..the attitude is pretty good..no complaints, but I will complain about the service.. It`s not what we expected being that we was actually purchasing our first car. I thought the business could`ve been handled more professionally..I won`t get into great detail because it will take all day to explain..bottom line.. We was given the run around..had to keep traveling because a deal they me... view moressed up on..told us they had a car that we asked for waiting for us but when we got there.. they sold the car days before an tried to sell us something we didn`t want..the deal was just pure stressful...an some of the salespersons tell you things, then all of a sudden thing change..We do like the car after they finally found one, but so disappointed with our whole situation..never again!

Great deal and service

I purchased a nice, pre owned vehicle with a warranty. My credit was terrible but they worked with me and helped me get approved on a vehicle without a cosignor, when nobody else would even try. they treated me with respect and helped me across the board from beginning to end. I have even brought two more people to buy from them asnd they paid me 100 for each one that bought

What a joke

Economy Cars with the large neon green sign on Rivers Ave states they can finance everyone well they do but what do you get? I got an suv that was a safety hazard to me and my families life in less than 30 minutes from leaving the lot. I was on my way to the insurance company on Rivers Ave also when the front passenger tire began smoking. I went back to the lot to be told by the sales person that it was nothing. I we... view morent McElveen in Summerville to learn that if I had ran over a pot hole or driven at excessive speed of over 70 the front axle could have broken and caused me serve damage. I decided I did not want to purchase the vehicle again and took it back. I have lost trust in the sales person at this time. I go to cancel the insurance and my insurance company request for paper works stating that the vhicle was returned. All I get from Economy Cars is we have no idea what the insurance company is talking about. Then I get several promises that it will be taken care of in the next hour. Well this all took place since February 14, 2011 and today is March 13, 2011 and I still have not gotten anything resolved.
