The good - the buying process was fairly smooth, clean facilities. However, I had to return vehicle due to significant issues under the undercarriage my mechanic found. Returned vehicle - expected quick facilities. However, I had to return vehicle due to significant issues under the undercarriage my mechanic found. Returned vehicle - expected quick process to get my money back - to my surprise it was a very poor process. Nicole provided her contact card in case I had problems getting my refund. I had problems - I contacted her and she lacked Follow-up, No response! No customer support! More

Be prepared to spend hundreds over the advertised price for an "optional" warranty plan you must purchase. EchoPark Duluth advertises that they provide a no haggle, hassle-free car buying experience. I for an "optional" warranty plan you must purchase. EchoPark Duluth advertises that they provide a no haggle, hassle-free car buying experience. It’s true that you can’t negotiate the price listed online for a car, but apparently, it’s acceptable for them to make you purchase at least one of their “optional” warranty plans if you want the car. The website clearly states that the Vehicle Service Contract, Appearance Protection, and Dent Protection plans are optional. After test driving a car and deciding to purchase it, the salesman brought out paperwork that had all three optional plans included. I told him I was not interested in purchasing any of them. He left and came back with the Appearance Protection for $700 still on the paperwork. I asked why it was still there, and he said he could not remove it because they had already applied some sort of ceramic paint protectant to the car. I asked why this was not advertised on the website as being a required purchase, and I didn’t really get an answer. I was getting angry at this point but decided to complete the purchase. After stewing about it for a few days, I called EchoPark and spoke with a Sales Coach. I explained what happened, and he told me they apply the ceramic coating to all their cars during the cleanup and inspection process, but it does not require the buyer to purchase the Appearance Protection plan. I asked how I could get a refund, and he said he would call me right back. Several hours went by, and I did not get a call. I called him back and left a message. Soon after, I got a call from the finance manager. He basically explained that EchoPark forces the purchase of an “optional” protection plan in place of a dealer fee. So, there you have it – a moment of honesty. They are not much different than any other used car dealership. They advertise low prices to get you in and then tack on the money-making options when you sit down to do the paperwork. I don’t appreciate dishonesty from anyone I do business with, but it is so rampant in car sales, it’s hard to avoid it. Just be aware of it, and don’t go in expecting to purchase a car for just the listed price plus taxes and state fees. Also, I highly recommend getting pre-qualified for financing so you know your loan term and rate ahead of time and don’t have to play any car dealer games with that part. You can search for banks that EchoPark has partnered with. I found one that offered a lower rate than any I had found through normal searches. More

Amazing dealership. I loved my service with Jasmine!!! She was knowledgeable, friendly and patient. To be honest, this was the best service experience I’ve ever had. We I loved my service with Jasmine!!! She was knowledgeable, friendly and patient. To be honest, this was the best service experience I’ve ever had. We had great conversation, she was considerate of my needs and not pushy, and she helped me find the car of my dreams in no time. The finance manager, Brian, that we worked with was also friendly and quick on his feet, genuinely caring about giving us the best experience. I felt absolutely inclined to make a review for Jasmine and Brian that helped me because of my amazing experience. By the way, I would literally buy all of my future cars from her!!! And no - I was not paid for this review, just felt the need to celebrate and share what a great time I had at EchoPark!!! Thank you Jasmine for giving me and my family the best car-buying experience EVER!!! Make sure you go and ask for her, she will help you find exactly what you need (thank me later). More

If I could give a zero rating, then I would. I bought a car online then I was repeatedly told that I didn't to justify for them to take my money and try to sell the vehicle to another person.
