My certified used 2022 Kia Niro EV purchase went about as smoothly as it could have. I had just about given up on obtaining this model this year but there it was on their lot. Low mileage, factory warranty More

Was not in the least bit impressed. Vehicles are slopped together and put on the lot. They claim to have “state of the art” body shop and car wash. Their employees must have been on vac More

Hey Mike! Thank you very much for the candid review. While we strive to have vehicles in stock that are ready to go there are some that the shop cannot get to for several days. You came in to look at a 5 year old plow truck that we purchased at auction that we needed to still complete the safety work to. You mentioned that you are a Used Car Dealer in RI, don't you have a similar process? Either way, we appreciate the opportunity to earn your business and we look forward to impressing a much better truck on you at some point. I did leave you a message, please return my call at your convenience so we can chat about how we can make your next experience a much better one. PS. Our state of the art collision center is up the street next to our GMC, Buick Nissan Location and our Spotless Carwash. Thanks again! Best, Eric Gates General Manager Columbia Ford INC 860.228.2886

Actually Eric, We do have a process, it involves going through the vehicle top to bottom, before we would ever show it to a customer, let alone put it on the lot for anyone to take over the road for a test drive. You said it yourself, a vehicle that "we purchased at the auction that we needed to still complete the safety work to." So you admit to not doing the safety work to vehicles before sending them on the road for a test drive? Thats interesting for future consumers. I also appreciate the fact that you pride your Dealer Rater reviews, is that because you try to get customers to take down bad reviews....? That kind of eliminates the whole "review" process, but maybe that is just my own opinion. Best, Mike P.S. Don't brag about the spotless car wash if you aren't going to actually use it before putting vehicles on the lot.
