Bickmore Auto Sales

The staff was nice enough, but the truck I got was and is a POS. I was stupid to not have a mechanic look at it. I’m now 5000 upside down on the thing. The warranty I have doesn’t cover my evap system, which it the problem. I was lied to a few times about Deq, the gas cap, and the warranty. They are good if you need a throw away car but anything else steer clear.

We bought a truck from Bickmore auto in hopes we would have a good vehicle as our friend has the same exact vehicle and has had no problems. They wouldn’t budge on the price more than $ 500 even though it was already way over priced (our fault I guess for still purchasing), then we got hassled into purchasing a warranty (probably because they knew they were selling a lemon), within 6 months the engine blew up. They wouldn’t help us out at all. The warranty fails to mention that they have a cap on what they pay out, and also only gave us a $ 50 towing credit, so we were out $ 470 just for the tow. (awesome right). So we get it to the mechanic just to find out we need a whole new engine, and the warranty only covered $ 3000. So now we are out $ 2300 out of pocket for the engine, $ 470 for the tow, plus the warranty said they’d authorize a rental car so we went ahead and got the cheapest vehicle we could, and when it came time to pay for the rental car, the warranty wouldn’t cover the rental so we are out another $ 108. Asked Bickmore if they could help us out for anything and they said no. Would have bought another car from them for myself, but after this, forget it. Don’t purchase from them ever, they are good at what they do, which is selling used cars. They are not good people.

I called to inquire about an 89 dodge dakota that was for sale at 1288, in hopes to get a cheap ride to beat up on the hills and was extremely dissatisfied with everything bickmore had to offer me in the short 10 minutes i was there. When bickmore called me about the dodge they FAILED to mention that the truck wasnt ever running, and had nothing posted about the truck not running on their website or the craigslist ad. So i drove all the way out there just to be told it was not running and they had no idea why. It makes you wonder, if a company is hiding things about their vehicles from you, then should you trust them and purchase from them? I highly recommend that you stay away from bickmore auto in gresham, they are a company that cant stand by their name with pride, and are just looking to sell a car that they arent even sure is reliable.

I stopped by here a couple weeks ago to look at an automobile, and worked with Cesar, one of the salesmen. The automobile in question was about double what I had seen ones in similar conditions selling for. When I asked if they were flexible on price, I was told that he «couldn’t help me until I was serious and ready to buy.» I drove all the way out to Gresham – if that’s not serious then I don’t know what is. I went around in circles with him for about ten minutes trying to figure out what the price of the car would actually be and finally gave up after being told that unless I was going to buy TODAY he couldn’t tell me.
What drove me to actually write a review of this place, though, was the fact that Cesar kept telling me «I am here to help you, but I cannot unless you put money down.» The blatant attempt to weasel a customer into buying without putting any real thought into is representative of the sort of cronyism that I would expect out of a used car dealership, but the ‘I’m trying to help you,’ act is what really turned my stomach.
Do yourself a favor – don’t go here and have to contend with Cesar or any of the other predatory sales staff.
