My daughter recental bought a used Tesla from Paradise. Buying a car can be stressful, but John and…read moreMatt completely flips that experience on its head. From the moment you walk in, you're treated with honesty, respect, and zero pressure,something that's incredibly rare in the car world. Its was my daughters first time buying a car and they new it and helped her with every step. They seem to be very knowledgeable, transparent, and genuinely care about putting you in the right vehicle, not just making a sale. Every question was answered clearly, pricing was straightforward, and the entire process felt smooth and professional from start to finish. The inventory is clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully curated, and it's obvious they stand behind what they sell. You walk away feeling confident, not second-guessing anything, which says a lot. If you're looking for a trustworthy, locally owned dealership with decades of experience and a reputation built on integrity, Paradise Automotive is hands down the place to go. This is how buying a car should feel.

Worst experience I've ever had with Paradise Automobile. Straight up careless and unprofessional…read more One of their workers was working on my truck and had the nerve to leave it parked out on the street like it was nothing. No heads up, no responsibility--just left it there knowing it could get towed... and guess what? It DID. Now I'm stuck dealing with towing fees because of their employee's stupidity. When I called them, they acted like it wasn't their problem at all, even though their own worker was doing side work on their property. Zero accountability. Just excuses. I even told them I was going to take this to court, and their response? "Yeah, we'll see about that." That right there tells you everything you need to know about how they treat customers. Save yourself the headache and don't waste your money here. These people do not care about you or your vehicle.

I have always brought the cars of myself, and family members to 'CAARS,' since we originally got…read moreour Saturn's from Saturn years ago. I brought my Saturn in towards the end of last year to have the coolant light checked out on my car. The coolant light would not turn off without coming back on rather quickly, so i brought my Saturn down to have them check out what was the issue, and make the necessary repairs. It took them a few tries to find and locate the problem, but it was totally worth it. When they started looking into the source of the problem they discovered multiple parts that were broken, or close to being broken. They gave me the choice of the most critical parts that needed to be repaired, and were listed on a print out so I could choose which parts could be done sooner, and some father down the line in the near future. Vince, Dan, John, and staff always do a great job repairing and fixing our Saturn's when an issue pops up, and when an issue unexpectedly pops-up. There are a couple of parts that were getting close to breaking down, so I would rather get to those repairs (If I can), before anything goes wrong when I'm in transit somewhere. They found a fan that was coming loose besides the coolant among a few other things that were broken, or breaking down, and made the appropriate repairs. Needless to say I was, and am highly satisfied with the work that was done on my Saturn--I can easily tell when I drive my car--that it has much more power when accelerating, and it's noticeably smoother when driving. 'CAARS,' has high quality repair work, and a quality staff that Vince has retained--which shows in their quality, pride, and workmanship while keeping the price, timeliness, and value worthwhile for their customers.

This business is the best!!…read more I've been in several times now over the last few years and, each time has been a super experience. The guys have been honest, fair with estimates and pricing and, performed the services requested with quality. They have also been very timely and efficient. I've never had any issues with any of the repairs or various services. I can't recommend highly enough!
