The initial salesperson was rushing to pass me off to another sales person. He used short answers and failed to show any remote interest in helping me. When the second salesman came he was not terrible but I could tell he only cared to get the sale. We conducted a test drive and the salesman purposely took a route that cause vibrations to hide the vehicle's issues. Also during the test drive the vehicle was on empty and the dealer tried to sell the vehicle without a full tank of gas. I was told the vehicle only needed an alignment, I brought a mechanically skilled friend to check out the vehicle. Between my Ram and the Tundra there was obvious problems that any service shop would find in a simple inspection. So I bought my truck and planned to do simple maintenance like a fluid flush and spark plugs. The shop that did my fluid flush said the transmission fluid was overdue for a change, along with my coolant and engine oil. After that I finally got to my alignment and the shop said that I need to replace my lower ball joints, track bar and my steering damper before an alignment was achievable totaling up to approximately 900 dollars. I bought a warranty that covered my lower ball joints bring the out of cost price to around $500. Total I have had to put $1,000 into this truck to make it safe to drive while I still have to buy new tires because the condition of that he vehicle's front end caused permanent cupping within the first three months. When I contacted Wes, I said I believe you knew about these issues and did not want to pay to fix it and he did not deny it. The company then decided that $200 would be enough to compensate for my troubles. Bring it to a mechanic shop and do not trust this company if you do not have to when buying your next vehicle.

We bought a vw tiguan from them this fall and was an easy process for them to take your money and sell you a terrible car with a smile on their faces. The salesman was nice enough that was until we went in with a complaint. Two weeks after we purchased the car we had to take it to a repair shop because whoever does their repair work doesn't know how to put the plug wires on correctly. Shortly after that a bunch of lights came on and we called them to see what they would do. I called the manager at least once a week and each time the manager Wes said he would call back but he never would call back and i would have to track him down and go through the whole song and dance again. They are a terrible dealership and I wouldn't send my worst enemies there. As soon as they get their money all the problems are yours. Don't buy cars from there EVER!!!

Bleskin Motors had a great feel and a wonderful atmosphere. My sales person was not pushy and the finance process was quick and easy. I would recommend anyone to Bleskin motors. My car, after owning it for 2 months is everything I've wanted. They even offered their dealer discount to me if I ever wanted anything done to my vehicle. Thank you Bleskin Motors. I will be back to see you again.

I have dealt with Bleskin and Pete's auto through the years. Both are fine used car lots. People here who complain about them seem to expect full service from a used car lot. There are several full service dealerships in town to choose from, all of which offer warranties for almost every car they sell. Be prepared to pay more for more service. Almost all used car lots also offer warranties on many used cars as well. If a car has too many miles for a warrany.......be prepared to fix it. Ultimately, used car lots sell cars. It is incumbant upon the buyer to make a good choice. I take almost every use car I buy to a good mechanic shop to be checked out before I buy it. Bleskin's car salesmen have never had a problem with this. I have been satisfied with every deal I have made witb them.

our only problem is we drove car away from a repair shop after the purchase and the frony spoiler finished cracking, it had a small visible spider web crack at dealership and when we started up it broke, Huh, they of course would not fix it as the paper work said as is, well this was not as is at the time oh well used car dealers are a class of their own.

Terrible. Bought a 99 GMC Suburban. Less the 24 hrs and it wouldn't start not even with a jump. John (the sale's man - red flag #1) knew nothing about the vehicle and couldn't answer any questions without asking someone else. Day after buying called to let them know it wouldn't start and Tom gave us a hassle about what they were and were not willing to do. Red flag #2 They don't do inspections on their vehicles. He said, and I quote "we do them on some". My fault for not asking prior to buying. Red flag #3 they don't keep and mechanic on staff so after my husband was stranded this morning, I had to practically beg the so called dealership to come tow it, only after Tom suggested I pay out of pocket since we signed the as is paper work. They are unprofessional and really just the cliche snake dealership that you wouldn't send your worst enemy to. I have never bought a car where you had to haggle them to put gas in the vehicle and the put just enough to get it off E. I understand it is a large vehicle but I would have been happy with anything over a quarter, but that is asking too much of this place. I do not use my husband's military status ever, but this place prides themselves on going the extra mile for military members, but honestly who conducts business like that? Do yourself a favor and avoid them. Unless you are looking for a project car, not one to get you from A to B.

Asked dealer about possible trades. My email was never answered so I bought elsewhere.
