    Extraordinary car buying experience! Marshall is outstanding. He explained everything so clearly and patiently. We love our BMW!

    2015 Dodge:Dart with 80k miles comes up to about 16k.  Around 5k more than other local dealerships.

    Why is this place named Budget? There's nothing in this lot that is within any reasonable budget. Cars that I personally looked into were way overpriced for the amount of miles and condition. Car lot is EXTREMELY small. Ryan was nice enough to for what he has to work with, if you do end up going there, although I wouldn't recommend it would be to go and see him. Recommendation: save yourself the 24 seconds it takes to walk from one end to other of the place and go elsewhere.

    So excited about my purchase today

    This place was amazing! They had great cars to choose from and Ryan was my salesman he made me feel very comfortable and helped me choose the right car. Everyone in the office was so friendly and they all congratulated me after my purchase so I highly recommend shopping for your car here

    Well I guess I have to change my review. I had since sold my Equinox in favor of something more affordable for me. We looked around but returned to Budget Motors because we had such a great experience before. Ron Rems was again our salesman as we requested. We ended up loving a VW CC they had. The price was listed a couple thousand above normal dealer blue book, and they ended up letting it go for $9500. The finance manager got us a really good APR and was able to bring our payment down where I could afford it. (Keep reading there is a reason for the one star review). This one star review is not about the sale, or even a vehicle, but is about a fee called an ETCH fee that is tacked on without your consent before paperwork is even signed. Basically it's numbers etched in the glass of the vehicle that supposedly helps if you car is ever stolen. This fee is $300. It costs about $20. It is never discussed with you and it is already factored in to your loan before you even sign paperwork. There is paperwork that goes with it that you sign, however, they do not mention it is a "policy" of theirs or that they are tacking on an extra $300. Yes, we signed a piece of paper, but thought it was just part of the regular paperwork, as we had previously purchased a car from them and never had such a fee. I called a few days later after seeing this added fee. The person we spoke too was very rude. He tried to use the explanation that are you not going to buy a hamburger at McDonald's because it only cost them pennies and they are trying to make a profit? I said, if I ORDERED a burger then I KNEW what I was buying. I didn't "order" this etch fee that I had to pay. It wasn't something I wanted. He told me he didn't have time "for this" and we hung up. My boyfriend and I decided to make a visit to the dealership and speak to someone in person. I recorded all conversations. The finance manager told me it was purely for profit, and that since they "gave me such a good deal" on the car I shouldn't complain about it. I said so if you hadn't of given me a "good deal" then you wouldn't have charged me the fee? And he said "uh.. no". So regardless, this fee would be charged. He directed us to the owner who acted like he didn't know what we were talking about (played dumb) so we would have to explain it all over again. He said, well you are adults and you signed the paperwork. And I said it didn't matter, we were unaware of this ETCH fee to begin with so didn't know to even LOOK for any extra fee we were charged. He side stepped every question we asked. This conversation is also recorded. At the end he said he needed to talk to the loan agent who helped fund the loan at the bank, which didn't make sense because the loan was already funded and the bank had nothing to do with it anymore. We went to the bank and the loan officer told us the same thing, that since the funds were released, the dealership would have to refund me directly. A day or two later recieved a promising email that the "owner" was working on it. A few days later they agreed to refund me $270, only to retract it the same day saying basically I spread slander and untruths. Which is completely not true. So now here I am warning ANYONE if you buy a vehicle from this dealership, tell them from the very beginning you do NOT want and etch. Look over your paperwork, it's a pink piece of paper they have you sign. Also, if ANYONE HAS bought a car from this dealership and were unknowingly charged an etch fee (regardless of the paperwork signed) please contact me. We have a friend who is a finance manager at another dealership and has been doing this for years and says the etch fee is a SCAM and just a way to tack on extra money to a vehicle. I'm sure Simon will have some sort of response to this, as he seems to respond to all negative reviews with some sort of excuse to their behavior. As an interesting side note, Ron, our salesman, no longer works at Budget Motors and quit only a few days after we purchased our vehicle from him. Even he agreed the etch fee was unnecessary and bad business practice.

    Possible buyers - be aware of this dealer! Make sure you double check the vehicle after signing papers( even if you just test drove it) - make sure you know what the listing price is - they try to push a different price from what they list online. I attached pictures of what I test-drove and then the inside when I got the truck (my fault - it was dark when I left after signing). Their customer service from Sandy is horrible. And the manager that replies to comments on here is really snotty with customers.

    Cool pics in the office

    Take your rig to a good mechanic before you buy it and make sure to read the fine print in their "warranty".

Well in June, we went for our scheduled oil change. I was playing games on my phone while my Hubby was walking around looking. Well he walks up behind me and says, they have a soft top brand-new Jeep Wrangler sport if you want it. Now my other girl was an automatic hard top. This one was everything I was wanting in my older girl. We decided to look into it. Our salesman was Kenny Rose and he was awesome!! We were able to get a brand new one with the same exact oil special on her. So September we will be taking a trip to Reno for her 1st oil change. The Service advisor we have had for almost 2 years, we will keep for our oil changes. His name is Jared Phearson. I have a speech disability, and he has never had a problem understanding me. A very nice respectful person for sure. If I had 1 critique lol, fix the machines so you can pay with a card for sodas snacks etc. None of them were working, even the one with change was broke. We had been there almost 6 hours, the complimentary snacks they offer had been empty for hours and we had not eaten as we were going to lunch after the oil change. I just know for now on, take a soda and a snack with me lol This is my SadieBear!!

As I turned around from the cookie plate I was asked by a different teller if I'd like a Latte or something else...? Is this just an unusual day at Plumas Bank? Not really. Yes the live harpists are likely just a Christmas event but as for the cookies and refreshments, the ever present smiles, the cushy seats at the tellers desks, NO LINES, and the general feeling that I'm coming to visit friends instead of transact business...well, that is the normal daily experience of banking here. They also have fundraisers for needy organizations and accept donations when there are food drives and clothing drives. There are NO stuffy banker types in this branch. Everyone I've met is awesome! I do not understand why this bank doesn't have lines of customers backed out the doors. At some point, when the secret gets out, that will likely happen and I will regret writing this review! Until then I will continue to feel that there is NO OTHER BANK LIKE THIS BRANCH. You simply have to go in and check it out for yourself.
