Dove Auto

My experience purchasing my Xterra from Dove Auto was hands down the best I've had at any dealership. I love the fact that it's a smaller dealership and over the few weeks of dealing with them, I came to know almost everyone at the dealership. They treated me with respect, always addressed any concerns I had in a timely manner, and made my experience with them truly enjoyable. From the owner Denny to Sales manager Jim to Nicole in the title department, I always felt I was a valued customer and would definitely recommend anyone in the market for a quality used vehicle to visit Dove Auto. I will definitely be purchasing from them in the future.

I bought my first car from Dove Auto and had it for almost 7 years with little to no issues. I decided recently that I wanted to get a newer car now that I am working/graduated from college and immediately thought of Dove Auto. I went and test drove a couple cars and eventually picked the one I thought was the best fit for me. Everyone there is so nice and helpful and I have always had the best experience with them.

My son purchased a car from Dove Auto with money he had been saving up for years for his first car. After owning the car for a few weeks and driving it for less than 100 miles, fluid stains began appearing on the floor under the car. Upon taking the car to a mechanic for diagnosis, we were informed the car had major mechanical issues and the repair costs were in excess of $4000. Obviously the mechanical issues existed when we had purchased the car so we can only assume they were masked enough at time of purchase so we wouldn't notice them right away. We tried to negotiate with Dove Auto to split the costs of the repairs, but their only proposed solution was to trade the car for another one on their lot. There was only one other car available in the price range and when we test drove it, it had a major misfire and we could only assume that it also had hidden expensive mechanical issues. So, we elected to keep the original car we purchased and pay for the expensive repairs. Denny from Dove Auto suggested that fluid stains under the car were "normal" for the price range that we paid for the car. However, it is not "normal" for the rear wheels of a car to start locking up when navigating a turn, which is precisely what happened to my son one day when he was driving to school. While continuing to try and negotiate with Dove Auto, I argued that the price we paid for the car was reflective of a car that was free of major mechanical issues. Denny disagreed. So I suppose beware that when you buy a car from them, expect to pay the fair market price for the car but know that there could be major expenses shortly after you drive it off the lot. I'm fully aware that the car we purchased was sold "as-is", but I didn't expect to be dealing with shady sales tactics either. I know that buying a used car that sometimes some repairs are needed, but over $4000 is way out of line, especially for an $8700 vehicle. In short, buyer beware and I highly suggest having any vehicle from Dove Auto thoroughly inspected by a trusted mechanic to save yourself the headache and financial burden that we are stuck with.

We are thrilled with our experience at Dove Auto. Leery of used car lots, we went into it with not the highest expectations. Almost instantly, Denny and his team turned our pre-conceived notion around. Both he and Dylan were so knowledgeable about the vehicle and yet not pushy in the least. They were friendly and honest.....did everything they said they would and made the purchase process as smooth as it could be. It was a wonderful experience and we highly recommend Dove Auto to anyone needing a used car.

We had a fantastic truck buying experience with this team. Denny, Brian, and Dalton were awesome to work with. Very professional and patient answering all our questions. They even stayed late on a Saturday night to do our paperwork for the sale. Very honest folks that went above and beyond to be sure we were happy with our new truck - even took it for a car wash, filled the gas tank, and installed new floor mats. We highly recommend you go see them for your next vehicle.
