Had the car for a week. Have issues so I bring it in to mechanic, he notices that they knew all the issues with the car. They only changed the timing belt, didn't even put all parts back. Just a quick fix to get rid of it. Then they messed up my plate, go back they say they will take care of it. Still no plate a month plus. Guess I'm going to have to figure out my plates myself. Thanks for nothing! Do not buy a car here ever!

UPDATE: DO NOT BUY A CAR HERE! I saw Bad reviews and decided to give them the benefit of the doubt anyways. DONT DO THAT. Within 48 hours, my check engine light came on for a $1000 fix. Every mechanic agrees these guys 100% knew about the issue, cleared the code so that we wouldn’t see the light, then Kamille says on the phone (extremely rudely-nothing like his son who was very kind about it) “it’s not my problem. ” DO NOT TRUST THEM AND DO NOT DO IT. NOT WORTH IT. I am leaving my initial good review below so you can see how excited I was about this car.

I saw my car on marketplace first, Terry answered very quickly and answered my questions. I came in the store the next morning and took my car home the same day! He and Kamille were so easy and quick! Got a lovely Jetta for a great price.

These guys are honest and they will work with you. If you make your payments, when something happens, they will work with you. I've never experienced a working with me like that when things went wrong. I was skeptical at first because you don't find people like this very often if ever. But it's real.

During the interview/sale of the vehicle, they said they are looking to do business with good people. This set off red flags because people who are looking for good people are looking to exploit a naive outlook. This is not the case with these guys.

Recently bought a car here and the owner was very honest and helped out with any questions or concerns I have. They were also very good about communication which I really appreciate.

Ten out of ten. Honest father and son, made me a GREAT deal on a minivan (they basically gave it away). Customer service was excellent and I couldn't really be any happier with the deal and the speed with which they had the car ready to go with the registration insurance, and final paperwork. Great experience.

I bought a 2008 Ford Expedition from here. Knowing it's a used vehicle, I test drove it 2 weeks before I purchased it. They made me a fair deal on my trade in, and made the process of buying a used vehicle as easy as possible including taking care of the registration for me right on the spot instead of me having to go into motor vehicles to do it. I am happy with my purchase. The Father and son duo were of the utmost help. When purchasing a used vehicle, you have to understand that you are getting just that, a used vehicle. And with that understanding, you have to know that you may have to put some work into it yourself after the purchase. After all, they are a buy here, pay here business. My family and I couldn't be happier with what we got. It's a great vehicle with only maintenance, and wear and tear issues to deal with. They are honest, trustworthy, and fair. If I decide to get another used vehicle in the future, I will be going back to them.
I highly recommend this dealer for anyone looking for a decent used vehicle.

I just needed a car to get to my new job. The salesperson told me, it's a good running car, it's safe. Perfect for using to get to and from work. He also said he would order sun visors since there were none in the car. I had to start showing up a month later and they finally ordered them. 3 days after purchase I had to get a new battery. A month later brakes & rotors. Last week, tires. Now, the alternator is failing. I've had the car for approximately 3 months and I've already had to put $1,000 into it.

The fact a salesperson can look someone directly in the eyes and tell them the vehicle is "safe" takes a special kind of evil.

Don't shop here if you value your own safety.

After weeks of looking for a low cost reliable car I found it at Pricewise. Father and son duo made for a really great dynamic. Very fair, easy to work with and I left a happy customer! Would high recommend!

I’d give this place negative starts if I could. I bought a car drove it less than a week maybe 30 miles if that and it started over heating and smoking on the road and every light on the dash lit up. I went back multiple times and the shady owner kept dodging me because he knows he robbed me of over 5k and sold me a broken vehicle. When I went back the last time the scumbag told me “its a used car what do you expect”

Drove 2.5 hours and bought a 2013 Chevy Malibu 1SA Eco as my first car from this shop and I must say everyone there was very helpful and understanding. Asked questions about the car and they said it was all cosmetics to which still is after 2 weeks of having the whip Great prices too, some might say the prices are wise, 10 out of 10 would recommend to a friend

Update: Still in great condition, no problems and perfoms in great condition.

I purchased a manual car from here about 6 months ago. The only in depth question I asked the salesman was when was the last time the clutch had been replaced in the car, he told me they replaced the clutch and he even drove the car around for a couple weeks to seat in the new one. Looking at the engine in the car, I was suspicious that it had not been done recently as it didn’t look like anybody had done any major work recently. I drove the car for less than two weeks before the clutch blew apart and I had to pay to have the transmission removed and a new clutch installed. I promptly called and asked the salesman if there would be anything to do since I was told it was a brand new clutch and therefore there should be some kind of parts warranty if it only made it about 1000 miles. The salesman told me that the customer who he purchased the car from had told him they replaced the clutch. It was very clear to me that the clutch had been replaced maybe 50,000 miles ago and I was lied to by a salesman just to sell a car and avoid questions. I would never buy from this dealer again just based on the fact that I was lied to about regular maintenance on the car instead of just being told the truth or that he wasn’t sure.

Really sad how they guy across they street treated me very rude and stuck up… lied about everything “tuned up and redid all these type of engine stuff” yet not a single thing was “new” I’ve dropped so much money that I really shouldn’t have fixing everything they lies about. Even the spark plug “cover” or whatever ever was holding it down didn’t even have bolts on them! How sad. They also didn’t mention the car was in a terrible accident which I found pictures of… would have never look at that car

I went there with an exact budget and Ray helped me find the perfect car that fit my knees and my budget he went above and beyond to make sure I was extremely happy. I highly recommend anybody that is looking for a reliable and affordable used vehicle shop here

Everything you'd come you expect from a used car dealership. Ray was easy enough to work with and the vehicle is still running pretty good three months later.

Dont buy from this place.especially RAY! He sold me a car he knew had issues, no later than the 5 minutes i left with my 2012 vw cc i was having issues.he sent me to his mechanic who was also very rude and “didnt see an issue” he then tells me he would put warranty on the car so it could be fixed and they wont cover it because of it being a pre-existing problem.he also likes to dodge calls and tell you he’s going to call back but wont.all of this took place in less than a week.dont do it to yourself. And if purchased it across the street (which is a rental car place) how would u even know that? I have receipts dont lie on ur company now dude.

I purchased a 2006 KIA Sportage from Ray a few weeks ago. Ray stated that the vehicle had been gone over by his mechanic and was in good condition. My Findings: the front passenger caliper locked up within two days and I had to have it towed to my garage. Replaced both front calipers and pads and rear pads too. There was no spare tire or complete jack set, I replaced those items too. Steering idler arms were worn elliptical, egg shaped, and replace them. Tire pressure set at 45 pounds, and I let air out to achieve 30 lbs. Overpowering smell of gas at fill up: seven of the eight screws that hold the fuel pump securely on top of the gas tank missing and gas sloshing out over the top and down the side of the gas tank. Fire hazard at the very least. To top it off the radiator was filled with tap water and not antifreeze. When I drove the KIA up north the water froze rupturing the radiator and I had to replace that too. I advise you not to believe anything that Ray says. I got receipts.

I liked the seller Ray at first until I found out they would not return my money for my disabled veteran plate I paid for. Florida gives every disabled veteran a one time free play they cost $500 but Ray and his dealership charged me the full price of the plate when I went to the DMV I found out that The DMV never charged the dealership for that plate so that means they owe me my $500 and I called Ray and he said he would figure it out for me and has not called me back it’s been over three weeks now. If you’re a a veteran or a disabled veteran do not buy from here because they will take advantage of you. I bought a 2010 Toyota Corolla, car is OK nothing special stay away from these people because they act like they care to put more money in their pocket.

Update since this business wants to lie about not taking the money I’ll take the time out of my day to write this because I went to the DMV and they said this dealership never paid for my license plate and that the disabled plate was given to the dealership at no cost but the dealership charger me and will not refund the 500 bucks it cost to get a plate. I’m 100% disabled veteran that why I get a free plate you can look it up if you’d like. Terrible business and full of liars. I don’t want my money back anymore I just want this owner and the sales man Ray put on blast for there actions and for lying about it to keep business coming instead of just doing the right thing to keep clients.
