What Others Say

Frank’s honesty and integrity are the classic reason “Used Car Salesmen” get such a bad rap. He posted an ad on Cars.com for a 1 owner, 2008 Solara for $4,600 more than Car-Fax value. His web site stated he has a car-fax on every car. He doesn’t. I am 3,000 miles away, so we agreed we should have an independent inspection performed. However, he has a hot buyer and would require a $1,000 deposit. It is a good thing we had the inspection as he hadn’t disclosed many problems. He didn’t think it was important to tell me that the tire pressure light was on, that the bumper had touchup paint on it, that there was a chip in the windshield, the right side mirror was lose, that the car pulled to the right while driving, that the front right tire was a mismatch, that there are many chips and dents on the exterior, and many other things. When I told him that all these problems did not warrant the price he was asking and to refund my deposit, he did not do that. Turns out there have been 4 owners of the car. The tires were at 5/32 and would require changing soon. Replacing expired tire sensors would cost even more money.

Got my dream vehicle at a great price. Frank is a straight talking guy, knows his stuff, no hard sell, answered all my questions. Took care of the title, tax, plates. Made it easy.

The best guy, sold me a clean reliable for a reasonable price! Definitely recommend to everyone!

we went to his Spring Lake location on Rt. 71. Frank is loud , overbearing & obnoxious , he kept talking about how he has a 5 star rating & that he is the best in the business and telling us about a bunch of people & what they drive, as if we care or it would make a difference. over & over again he talked about himself, did not care about what I tried to say or what we wanted, he just kept talking over me. we took a car for a test ride, ( in which he had an arrogant attitude the entire time that even my son was annoyed with) that even if we liked it, I would never buy, because his " car lot" is an approx. 30' by 30' square of "grass" right up to a building that the cars & trucks are all crammed into. he drives them up & down over the belgium block curbing ! these are cars and are not meant to be driven over high curbing! when we got back & he jammed it back up & over the belgium block I knew there was NO way I was buying a car from him. when we were leaving he did not even have the common decency to shake hands with us. I told him I wasn't promising him anything, but he called at least 3 times the next day. when I texted him back saying thanks for his time but we are still looking, his only reply was " I just have a 5 star rating I don't why I can't help you" (EYE ROLL) , that sealed the deal that I would never recommend him to anyone

Frank is a wonderful dealer! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a quality auto and a completely honest and knowledgeable dealer!

I purchased a 2011 Mazda MX-5 from Frank and I am super happy with everything! The owner was incredibly kind and the vehicle was super clean and running great upon pick up! I would highly recommend buying from this dealership!
