DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS AUTO DEALER. I purchased a vehicle from them in August 2024. I was…read moretold I would have my title and plates in about two months. When those two months came and passed I called asking for an update. after confirming my information I was informed that the person who handled their titles was out of the office. This was the beginning of over a year of calling them and receiving the same run around. He was always out of office. I even asked what hours he would be in and called at the appropriate time only to be told the same spiel. I live an hour and a half away and after six months of getting the run around I went in and all they did was offer to give me fresh temporaries. This was only a bandaid for a wound that needed stitches. Soon after I was able to get in touch with their title person who, I found out, was one of the owners. He gave me more excuses about how there was a hold up with the DOL. I waited patiently for another six months before finally being beyond fed up and filed a complaint with the Washington DOL. I was then pointed towards filing a claim against their dealership bond. It was only after I filed a claim against their dealership bond that they got me my title and plates, two days after they had been contact by the bond. What this tells me is that they had the ability to get me my title and plates before this due to the speed at which they were able to acquire them when they were threatened with financial liability by the bond agency. In the end, I received my title and plates in Feburary of 2026. This was beyond unacceptable. I have never written a bad review but have been so incensed by the entire ordeal that I felt it was my duty to inform others before they make the same mistake I did by doing business with this auto dealership. Believe it or not, this is the spark notes of the entire process I was forced to go through to use the vehicle I had purchased.

Cannot warn you to stay away enough…read more I am now $20k into a $10k car I bought there. Sold me a Subie that they had "done all the work" that needed to be done at 200k miles. Headers, gaskets, etc. Had to take the car back in within a week because it wouldn't shift into gear from park properly. It wouldn't accelerate from a stop appropriately and would just shut itself off while idling at a stop light or sign. They supposedly got it in and said it was a sensor issue and "fixed it". (Remember that for later) Then the car dropped all its oil and seized up within months of it being purchased. They insisted it was my fault. So the "insurance plan" they sold me for another $800 wasn't going to be any good either. (Even if the oil wasn't checked in 3 months' time.... which it WAS... it shouldn't have vanished within a few months of having the engine overhauled). Of course, they offered to replace the engine, if I paid them for it. So, it sat on their lot while I found a REPUTABLE mechanic to look at it. Once I had found the best garage in town for Subarus, they wouldn't even put the car on their trailer to take it to the shop, I had to pay for the tow off their lot. And that sensor issue they "fixed"? The mechanic said all the warning lights I took it back to them to check was because someone did a quick fix by jamming/bypassing the sensor. Literally, the WORST car purchasing (or mechanic) experience I have ever had. Ric (salesperson) was rude and felt comfortable swearing around my wife and son. Should have been my first red flag. I just thought he was trying to be "buddy buddy". Nope, turns out "Skeezy salesperson" is a stereotype for a reason. Stephanie started scolding me on the phone when I called and was upset with the weeks of delay that involved all these issues. YOU MUST AVOID THIS CAR LOT AT ALL COSTS.

Hi Doug, I wanted to…read morethank you for helping me get my daughter's first car. It was a happy coincidence that you opened your business across the street from where I live and I saw the car that I needed at a price better than I would have expected. The great part was that I didn't even have to negotiate you down on the price. It was already marked at a wholesale price...I know because I was a buyer for a used car dealership in Yakima for about 3 years. You are a man of character trying to provide a good future for your young son. I especially liked hearing him talk about how he helped you design your business cards. That was very cool and it made me happy that I could help support that. I wish you the best of luck and I know who I'm going to call for my next vehicle. Kodi Mather

I want to give a big shout-out to Spokane CarMax. I've done a lot of car shopping over the years…read moreand visited plenty of lots. My mom sold cars when I was a kid--that's how she put food on the table--so I grew up around brand-new vehicles and the hustle it takes to make it work. Yesterday was something special. My son Robert purchased his fourth BMW, and the experience at CarMax was incredible. Everything went smoothly. The staff were kind, professional, and straight-up honest. No games, no pressure--just solid service and respect. If you're in the market for a vehicle, I highly recommend checking out CarMax in Spokane. I don't think you'll be disappointed. And here's something even better--my son runs his own business tuning BMWs. If you're a BMW owner or enthusiast, check out his work at bmtuned.com. He knows these cars inside and out. Congratulations, Robert--I'm so proud of you. You've worked hard, and it shows.
