“Came in ready to buy a 2016 Tahoe with a cash deal (trade-in plus cash or outright cash, no financing), but the negotiation felt inconsistent and driven by shifting explanations. Immediately upon starting the Tahoe, multiple alerts to service the safety systems came on. It was roughly 4 different things. I was told they could not come down on the cash price because the bank finances their inventory, but they could increase my trade-in value by $500. Then I was told that if I “did it right now,” they could suddenly take $500 off the cash price, which directly contradicted what was just said. I was also told—on multiple occasions (this was the third time I’ve heard that at different dealers in my life 🧐)—that the owner’s wife had been driving the vehicle, and that it had about $2,100 in recent repairs invested into it, which was used to justify holding firm on price. I was also told it had been on the lot for three months and that was another reason they couldn’t come down on cash price. That made no sense to me. When I asked about fees, I was told they are “non-negotiable” because they’re how they “keep the lights on,” rather than being given a clear breakdown. Overall, the pricing explanations, financing-related reasoning, and flexibility around numbers shifted throughout the deal instead of staying consistent, so I walked away. I would highly recommend checking everything thoroughly and be prepared to walk away if it feels off.”

“So happy with this place! We were in an accident and needed a new vehicle! We went in and told them what we wanted to spend and they were able to give us the truck if our dreams! This thing is LOADED! Very pleased and the service - * chefs kiss those guys make you feel like family, like you have known them forever! So welcoming and just down to earth friendly folks. I highly recommend Bart's”

“Buyer Beware! I purchased a used vehicle from Bart’s Car Store and unfortunately had a very negative experience. The dealership did not disclose that the vehicle had a severely rusted frame—a serious safety issue that should have been communicated up front. While the sales process was smooth, the lack of honesty and failure to stand behind the condition of the vehicle was unacceptable. I expected a fair deal, not a hidden problem that now requires costly repairs or makes the vehicle unsafe to drive. I would advise anyone considering a purchase here to have the vehicle fully inspected by a trusted mechanic before signing anything. I can’t recommend Bart’s based on this experience.”

“I was referred to Bart’s car store by a friend who purchased a car there. I was greeted by Corey the sales rep. He showed me around the lot and asked me a lot of questions concerning the vehicles I was interested in. The next day he met me at the Columbia City store. He gave me all the time I needed to make a decision. No pressure at all. I purchased a Ford explorer sport The car was a 2019 63000miles. The car is more than I expected to purchase and I got a great deal on it. I am very happy with my visit and purchase at Barts. Corey went the extra mile to make me happy and to get me into a car I really wanted. Thanks Corey.”
