Avoid Prestman Auto! These guys are snakes. Car disclosed as very minor front end damage, no air bag deployed. Car fax says otherwise. Also will not disclose their add These guys are snakes. Car disclosed as very minor front end damage, no air bag deployed. Car fax says otherwise. Also will not disclose their additions fees for dealer Doc, prep, tax, title, licensing up front. Salesman side steps the question and says it will be done in person come in. In person he can't answer, but the finance guy can your ready to buy. Finance guy drops the bomb at the very end with inflated and padded fees across the board. Avoid these clowns. More
SCREWBARU'D Bought a WRX from Travis at Prestman. The car has been great with no issues. 18 months later, having had a decent experience, I decided I'd like to tr Bought a WRX from Travis at Prestman. The car has been great with no issues. 18 months later, having had a decent experience, I decided I'd like to trade it in on a different car at their dealership. With only 30,000 miles on the clock they offer me only 13k on a car I paid 23k for. That was like a slap in the face. I'll sell the car on my own and definitely not go back there for my next car.

You get what you pay for Bought a 2013 Ford Explorer. Good, nice people. BUT, you are buying a car that has been totaled!!!! They have been wrecked so badly that they cann Bought a 2013 Ford Explorer. Good, nice people. BUT, you are buying a car that has been totaled!!!! They have been wrecked so badly that they cannot be repaired, so they get rebuilt and retitled. It is simply not worth whatever money you think you are saving to buy a totaled car. Their extended warranty DOES NOT HELP!! By the time you pay for the warranty, you are close to what you would pay for an INTACT vehicle. Plus, all your warranty work has to go through them. Don't bother with the FORD dealer 2 BLOCKS from your house. You MUST take it 50 MILES to their dealership to have it worked on. Buying branded title sounds great in concept - IT IS BRUTAL in practice. NOT WORTH the paltry savings. More
Not Honest Went to go buy a vehicle and trade in one and the salesman keep on prolonging the deal stated he was waiting for there guy that does all the trade in Went to go buy a vehicle and trade in one and the salesman keep on prolonging the deal stated he was waiting for there guy that does all the trade in to call him back with either a price or a buyer for my vehicle, but little does he know I'm not stupid and when u act like your on the phone with your trade in guy and your really not it makes u and the company look really dishonest and not trust worthy. So you know who you are that did this and I hope you fill like a real tard cause you where the just dealing with any Joe off the streets I'm a PI investor and I know all along you where just playing us so enstead of wasting person time just straight up tell them what your doing. I will never go there again or refer anyone to the dealership because of this sales representative. The salesmen gave me one of his business cards and as soon as I walked out the front doors I threw it in garage where it belonged. More
No Customer Service (at least none that I can find) Don't buy a car there during the summer or winter. Couldn't check out the A/C when we bought because it was too cold. Been trying to get fixed but I Don't buy a car there during the summer or winter. Couldn't check out the A/C when we bought because it was too cold. Been trying to get fixed but I keep getting transferred from person to person, everybody passes the buck to somebody else and nobody seems to be concerned and the warranty that they sold. Me is barely worth the paper it's printed on. Pleasant buying experience but the add on charges are excessive. More
Prestman Auto doesn't honor "quality first" claim We purchased a 2015 Lexus RX 450 H from Prestman Auto. At first we were very happy with the car, but after 1500 miles the battery failed. AAA ins We purchased a 2015 Lexus RX 450 H from Prestman Auto. At first we were very happy with the car, but after 1500 miles the battery failed. AAA inspected and termed the battery inferior (" auction battery"). We replaced it with a Lexus genuine battery. Lexus puts their brand on batteries in new cars. We purchased this Lexus with only 3900 miles on it. The battery was not a genuine Lexus part. Dub, our salesman, said that all Prestman "branded" vehicles will have genuine "factory parts." Dub told us that Travis, his manager, would call us to take care of the battery. Travis never called even though I called several times over several weeks. More
Worst customer service ever! Bought this car thru the Internet from NM. WORST customer service ever after being a slam dunk sold sale. They do not honor their word after the sale Bought this car thru the Internet from NM. WORST customer service ever after being a slam dunk sold sale. They do not honor their word after the sale either. I drove 9.5 hrs and the car wasn't ready, financing not ready. They knew exactly when we'd be arriving. Maurissa practically ignored us I kept having to ask her to get this going. It's was like a race. I will never refer anyone to this dealership. Even the management will not email or return your calls. Once the sale is complete if you don't live in the state and are unable to return to the dealership forget it. More
WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!!! Please do not waste your time with this dealership. I have never delt with such dishonest people in my life. I will NEVER purchase from them again. D Please do not waste your time with this dealership. I have never delt with such dishonest people in my life. I will NEVER purchase from them again. Dealing with the manager Travis was a complete waste of my time. However Bob in the service department was better to deal with than the rest. More

Two cars, but not by choice. I purchased a Forester with 8000 miles on it from Tracy at prestman. Got through the paper work and got pressured into a warranty for a grand total of I purchased a Forester with 8000 miles on it from Tracy at prestman. Got through the paper work and got pressured into a warranty for a grand total of $3500 (including inflated charges). Left disappointed because I may as well have purchased a clean title car from a Subaru dealer for another $1000. Put about 350 miles on the car only to find a enormous oil spill in my driveway. Filled with oil and limped it back to prestman and they claimed it was just the freeze plug and off I went. Next day same problem, but now the engine has a major tick in the motor with a knocking you can hear a block away. Took it back explaining that the engine is shot, but relieved I purchased the warranty. They said it would take 60-90 days to replace the motor and they located one that will work. The engine ended up being 4 years old with 80,000 miles on it sitting out in a salvage yard. xxx?! . That's more miles than the car I just parted with. I explained the timeline and the suitable replacement wasn't going to work for me. I wanted to trade it in for a car that was not such a piece and was willing to double my price range. Tracy came back from talking with a manager and they concluded they would take it back less the registration fees and a restocking fee. This move cost me $7000 because the other car was worthless and they knew it. Ended up driving off the lot with a $27000 Tacoma that would have cost me $20000. At this point I could have purchased a new Tacoma. This car is far from perfect. Repaired dents have failed after one winter. Bondo is cracked and falling off fender, rust showing on front end panels,looks like someone sprayed silver spray paint to touch up fenders, lenses take on water, car pulls to the right while driving, and the best is windshield wiper fluid hose was not connected so it sprays down the firewall into your shoes. Nice 200 point inspection (sarcasm).These cars shouldn't be back on the road. I would never put a family member into one of their cars. If you enjoy arguing and problems, go for it. They pride themselves on no dickering until it comes to them having to spend their time and money. Spend the extra 5-10% and get a safe car that has some resale value. More
