If you buy a car from them be aware. read more

This place is the worst! First of all they sold us a car under the guise that it was all wheel drive! Come to find out it was not. They had no interest in fixing this situation. All they offered was to put snow tires on it. Any idiot knows there is a huge difference between All wheel drive and front wheel with snow tires. Now, just a few months later we got a flat tire. When we reached out to claim our snow tires they claimed it was too late. It will be a cold day in hell when we refer them to anyone as a place to do business with, and an even colder day that we will use them for anything. In conclusion BUYER BEWARE!! read more

I had an excellent experience at Car Central in Milford. Because I have a disability affecting my legs, I needed to see several different cars, and Gabe, our salesman, was very helpful. Car Central was the only used car dealer that had what I needed to see in one location. I found a Nissan Frontier that was perfect for my needs. All in all my experience was excellent. read more

Car Central - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Wallingford, Connecticut

they will try to rip you off stay away! They added so many fees on top of the advertised price. I left will never come back!

What started as a pleasant experience has turned sour. While the staff was nice enough during the sales process (and of course, as they want the commission), I was pressured into an overpriced warranty, given a broken key remote with a dead battery- so much so that when I changed the battery it lost the programming. Of course only a dealer can do this- for $200+ dollars. Was told it was subject to regular maintenance but was overdue for an oil change. Unfortunate. read more

I bought an '08 Lexus GX from them in 5/25. I live 7hrs away and before I drove all that way, wanted to be sure it was going to be worth the drive. I called on two different occasions asking about the frame, and was assured both times that other than typical surface rust it was in fine shape. Conn. doesn't have inspections, but Maine where I live does. When I went to have it inspected it failed due to holes in the frame. Now I have to have frame work done in order for it pass. And schedule another appointment, which because of where I live is very inconvenient . We also discovered that previously paint had been spilled under the back seats which the dealer said he had never noticed though the car had been on the lot for a month, but since it was under the seats we didn't make too big of a deal out of it. They also didn't tell us that the dealer fee was negotiable. I didn't discover that until I got home and read the paper work. When I e-mailed them about it, I never got a response. And to top it off, we got a notice from an insurance company that we had insurance coverage that we never signed for, but was charged to our credit card the dealership used automatically. Stay away read more

Everyone here was very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend using them for your vehicle needs. Happy With my purchase. read more

Jasmine and the staff was wonderful Great experience. Made me feel at home right from the start. Wonderful

Bad communication , no follow up Sales rep claimed "Sam the owner does not talk to customers " "I had to talk to a sales rep" It was all your fears actualized .. everything that's wrong with the car industry is Central Auto Sales WOW... what a bad experience read more

This place was chaotic. Sales reps were dealing with multiple clients at a time, and would tell us wait just a second and help someone else. The lobby is small and loud. They weren't very open to negotiations. We were there, test drive, handshake, paperwork, etc. for nearly two-and-half hours with no communicated end in sight before we walked away from the deal. The longer the chaos went on, the more and more we distrusted them. When we called to let them know our final decision, our salesman whined about the time he spent with us. Looking at these yelp reviews it looks like we dodged a bullet. read more

Think carefully before buying a car from this store, this store doesn't even deserve one star but I'm forced to give it one, my story at this store was like this. I went to this used car dealership to buy a car for work. I bought it in cash but left with a debt of almost 10k because they charged me very high fees. They made me buy a $2500 warranty. I didn't want to buy it because this warranty didn't cover all the parts. They said I had to buy the warranty and they lied, saying the warranty covered all the parts of the car. To top it off, the car came with several problems, with the air conditioning and the compressor. I went to the dealership more than 4 times to get it repaired, but the car was released to me with the same problems. They replaced the parts but I had to pay because the warranty they sold me didn't cover the parts. And the last time I went to the dealership, the day after I was going to work, my car had a problem with the compressor, a problem that they were supposed to have fixed. My car stopped in the middle of the road because the compressor locked up and caused the engine to overheat, leaving me there for almost 7 hours in the middle of nowhere. I called the dealership to ask for assistance and They were rude to me, they said that I would not receive my car for repairs, they said that this problem was mine because I had bought a used car from them and since then I have spent more than 3k on a car that I have driven less than 5,000 miles since the day I bought it because I am afraid that the car will present new problems. The car was for 19,000 I paid cash 18,300 and they made me finance almost 10k in fees and a warranty that I can never use. All of this was my mistake because I saw them deceive me, lie to me about the car and even so I bought it and signed to buy it, a mistake that I will never make again in my life. read more

BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!! Sold me a car that after 3 days cracked the head gasket and broke the timing belt. Then decided to jerk me off for almost a month about repairing it before outright canceling the entire loan and keeping my $1,500 deposit read more

Not worth your time they don't let you check out the car with a mechanic or bring it to a mechanic they are very shady read all the bad reviews on google there a reason why they won't let a mechanic check it read more

The owner is a real POS. After having already agreed on price with Sales person and was in the process of paying for car. Owner comes out of no where and changes price last minute. He forces me to buy expensive unnecessary warranty. Said he needed to "make more money on the car" or he would have to sell it some some one else. This guy has really low integrity. Would not trust him or his business with anything. Especially your car. They clearly have a variety of schemes going. read more

I would never buy a car from the Milford Dealership. Carlos, the Sales Manager, who runs the dealership is a super shady salesman. i asked him why the car was so cheap, was it an accident? and he said No. When I got to the dealership the car looked like it had been in an accident. There were dents and scrapes on the bumper. There scratches all over the whole car. I told him he was not transparent with me on the phone. He answered, you did not ask me if there were any cosmetic flaws on the car, just if it had been in an accident. He said he was transparent, but he doesn't know what the word means. I called him a liar and he said he never lied. But he lied by omission. I had asked them to send me pictures of the car before I went to see it. None of the cosmetic flaws seem to show up in the pictures. Carlos said I did not take the pictures, but let's face it, he runs the dealership. It flows from the top down. I don't think this is the first time Carlos has been called a liar before. He became really defensive about it and went over our conversation verbatim saying you did not ask the right questions. I WOULD NOT GO TO THIS DEALERSHIP! read more

They act like as if they're selling the vehicles in good faith but have a lot of shady business tactics. Such as selling cars "as is" without providing crucial details about the deficits of the car. I would not recommend buying from them unless you want to be scammed. read more

Sales team lied to us about the coverage of the wardanty they said we had no choice but to purchase. But we were given a verbal promise that this vehicle is in tip top shape, and that if anything does go wrong, I am fully covered. Then within 2 months of buying our vehicle there was an issue with suspension and steering. Quoted us over $1600 to fix. And explained that the warranty didn't cover the part even though suspension and steering is covered in our warranty. When we declined to have them work on it they offered to negotiate the price. It is discomforting that they were willing to work on the price because to me that means the original quote is purposely over inflated. When we picked up our car they charged us $150 for the diagnostic. Although they are friendly their sales and service tactics are almost a scam read more

Had a great experience here. Sales team was very transparent and never got frustrated no matter how many times I called will highly recommend if your looking for great customer service. thank you Milton read more

My husband and I bought a Honda Odyssey from this establishment. We spoke with Elijah over the phone whom was very insightful and offered great information on the vehicle prior to arriving from New York. We arrived and were not disappointed. Sam and his staff were extremely professional and kind. They offer the best prices in which we didn't mind driving from New York to pick up our van. We are more than happy to have done business with them. read more

My son bought his first car from them and it has been a nightmare. Interestingly, the smoothest thing was the approval process. Everything else has been absolute hell! The check engine light and vsc light came on day 3. We would call and there was never a response back. After having to change the alternator, serpentine belt and the battery, ALL out of pocket we took it to them as the check engine light was on yet again. They said it was an engine misfire, it needed replacement of a spark plug or coil and they would replace it. We brought it in, it was "replaced", yet that same night the check engine light came on yet again and now the car is running worse than before. I called and left a message expecting a call back and nada. Sent and email, and nada. I'm now at the point of filing a complaint with the the BBB and we are filing a complaint with the office of the attorney General and the department of motor vehicles consumer complaint center. Mind you, my son has yet to make his FIRST PAYMENT ON THE CAR!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS DEALER!! read more

Don't buy a car from them. They will make everything look perfect from the outside but what is underneath is not good. Sold me a car under the promise it did not need any major repairs. The car needs a new fuel pump and power steering rack because of rusting and leaking. Repairs are going to cost over 2000. read more

My husband and I bought a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee from Car Central a couple of weeks ago and we have nothing but good things to say about this place. Our sales associate, Elijah, was both friendly and professional. He was there to answer all of our questions but never did we feel pressured. We were offered refreshments and the sales area could rival some new car dealerships that we have been to in terms of comfort and cleanliness. The vehicle itself was immaculate and the exterior glistened. Everyone there was kind and accommodating, including the owner, Sam, who stepped in to finalize the paperwork. We left with inspections, registrations, matters of insurance and titles all taken care of. The entire process, from our arrival at Car Central to our departure as owners of a great new car, took less than 4 hours - and that included taking an hour out for lunch! Based on our experience, we feel comfortable recommending Car Central to anyone in search of a good used car. read more
