Save Auto Sales

STAY AWAY! DISHONEST DEALER! We found a truck that we were interested in that was being offered by Save Auto Sales. We live four hours away, so we had our local car dealer call to set up the deal. On Friday, before closing time, we settled on a price, verified the cashier’s check that we would be using to pay cash for the truck, and made arrangements that we would be there first thing in the morning to inspect the truck and if all was well, purchase it. We left at 6:00am the next morning, DROVE FOUR HOURS and arrived at Save Auto Sales right when they opened at 10:00am. We told them we were there for the truck, and the salesman said they had sold it last night (right after our phone conversation!) We drove FOUR HOURS ONE WAY for nothing! Ray said, «Why didn’t you guys call before you left this morning?» We said, «We left at 6:00am! You’re not even open until 10:00am! Plus we had a deal! You knew we were going to be here right when you opened!» Ray said that the customer who «bought» the truck hadn’t even paid for it yet. The customer took the truck and is seeing if he can get financing for it, but if he can’t get financing, then he’ll bring it back and then maybe we could get it. What the heck? Seeing the other reviews on here, I’m not surprised. We should have read the reviews before we spent eight hours round trip for nothing. But now that I see he is a shyster (a crooked, deceptive, shady character), I’m glad we didn’t purchase a vehicle from him! There are thousands of vehicles being sold by reputable dealers so there’s no need to be swindled by Save Auto Sales.

DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THIS DEALER! The owner RAED is a scam artist and a cheat! I purchased a SUV from him and test drove, etc. All seemed well, but on my way home to SF, I stopped off to have dinner and when I got on 101 South, I noticed that a «Check Engine Light» was on. I called him immediately and since it was a Sunday, it was closed. I called him first thing on Monday and told him what had happened. His reply was that «all sales were final». He said I could bring it back and he would check out the light. There was no warantee purchased, so I would have to pay for the service and cost if any to fix.
I explained that I could not come by due to work, but I could come in the following Saturday and he said that there was no way he would be able to validate my excuse and all sales were final.
On day 3, the driver’s side window fell into the gap of the door, and would not respond when pushing lever to roll it up. $ 1350.00 later, I took it elsewhere for repair, but they were not able to fix the «Check Engine light» that still shows on the pannel as I start and drive the vehicle.
Terrible service, terrible inventory and Horrible Customer Service!

The guy who is running this business is a joke!!! Went in there to buy a car and found one we liked so we did all the paperwork got the car and went home we used our debit cards for our down payment ! Then later when I checked my bank account he charged me over $ 1150 more than what was supposed to be charged then he proceeded to tell me that he never received that money I had to show him proof in my bank account before he would even call to find out if he had the money after I found out that he had the money I had to sit down there for two hours and throw a fit before he reimbursed me my $ 1150 also when all this happened I told him I needed license plates for the car I paid all the licensing fees so where is my new license plate? He proceeded to tell me that he would take care of it and for me to pick him up the next Friday I called Monday after that Friday and he told me that he couldn’t do it anymore and that I needed to go into DMV and pay the fees and get the license plates! And get you that I paid $ 50 for them to run my debit cards! So for future buyers do not buy from them and less you want to hassle !!!

I recently bought a car from save auto sales, and I had a very positive experience. I have always made all of my prior car purchases in cash with private sellers/​parties, and this is the first time I considered a dealership. After a lot of research I found my new car, a used Mazda 3 in good condition. After some tough negotiating with Gorges (The owners brother) We agreed on a very fair price! However, the day after I bought the car the check engine light came on! Yikes, I was very concerned, I called Raed the owner and who I finalized all of my paperwork with told me to come straight away to the dealership and that they would repair the issue. I needed a new thermostat and they replaced it no questions asked! I should also mention the air conditioning in the car didn’t work when I test drove it, and that too was also repaired, with no changes to my purchase price. I was hesitant to buy from a dealer, but thanks to Raed’s concern and desire to fix the issues with my car I know I made the right choice. Raed and his family run an honest business with very fair prices, and they genuinely want to see you leave happy!

Was all set to buy a 2001 Ford Focus that had low miles and was reasonably clean. My wife. son, and I took the car out for a test drive that was about 3 – 4 miles long. During the test drive the AC never got cold. It was hot out, but it never got near to cold. I wasn’t too surprised in that we had owned a brand new Focus wagon that never blew cold, but we hadn’t cared because at the time we lived in Portland, OR. Well, when we got back I told the salesman (Gary, Randy, not sure) that the AC was not blowing cold, and most likely just needed a recharge. He proceeded to tell me that it did blow cold, and he said that he had a air conditioning guy look at it and the ac guy said it was fine. I invited him to come feel it. He did. He said it was cold. At this point I decided it was not wise to buy a vehicle from somebody who is going to argue with me about what cold is. We ended going down the street and got a 2003 Hyundai Elantra with a little more miles that blew cold and cost a $ 1000 less. Good luck to all, and go with your gut.
