A friend expressed an interest in purchasing my daily driver and there was a need for me to look for a replacement. For some time, I had my eyes set on a low mileage Audi A4. I thought to myself, "If I am going to commute from Fernley to North Valley Reno, I might as well do it in style." I sold my vehicle to my friend at the end of the work week and it was off to CarZone. I met with Zack and I was told that the Audi had a bad coil pack and that it was no no condition to be sold to a customer and that there are other options that could fit my needs as a daily driver. I saw a Subaru Outback. It had low miles for its age but there was one demerit that kept me from selecting it: the alarm would activate if you used the key to unlock the door. Other options were explored. I decided to go with a Hyundai Tucson with low miles and AWD. This car is going to get the brunt of the winter commute so AWD is mandatory for me. I did a visual inspection and a test drive. I decided to go forward with making the purchase. Zack was very accommodating and worked with me to get the car financed. This is my first vehicle purchase as a Nevadan and I am satisfied with the car and how Zack took care of me. For car dealers, I also like supporting local dealerships just as much as local restaurants, donut shops, and hardware stores. Thanks Zack and team CarZone. I will be back when I am in the market! read more

Went in there for a few seconds and the sales guys were talking to me like I was stupid, weird behavior for people working at a dealership ‍

I was looking for a car I Saw posted on Craigslist. I work nights so I swung by after work to see if it was still available. They have cameras with two way audio. The owner set off the alarms. I said I'm just looking then he set them off again. I could pay cash for any car on your lot no B/S. I hope you go bankrupt. Don't spend your money here. They don't want your business. read more

I bought a car from this dealership and less than a year later I have a check engine light on and now it just sits in my drive way. I put $3500 down on a 9000 car get still somehow owe 7500? I've been trying to get in contact with them for months to get my car repaired or create some type of plan, at this point I have left multiple messages and have not received a response. read more

I would have given Carzone 5 stars for what I thought was great customer service, and sale. As I paid for my 2008 Trailblazer December 14, 2020, the information dash had a 'service stabilitrak' message. They said they would repair it on their 'Due Bill' sheet, plus noted the rear hatch defrost wire connection was broken off window as well as a few other items I noted. As I drove it home, stopped for gas, the engine check light came on. So I bring it back to them that Saturday, and they had at their mechanic shop until January 2nd when I picked it back up. Well the ''service stabilitrak" message was still showing in message on dash and again, when I got home the engine check light came back on. I have left messages, voice messages, text messages, online message and I do not get returned calls, nor the ability to resolve the 4 error codes to the vehicle. Those error codes are PO106-00, PO108-00, P2431-00 and C0455. If they took it to their mechanic they would have repaired the issues, but they did not. So now I'm leaving this review for buyers beware of buying used vehicles from Carzone. Carfax report is nothing to guarantee such waste that I thought was getting a working lower mileage suv. There 30 day warranty is jack-shit. As it stands, the trailblazer would not pass Washoe County smog with these error codes. BAD BAD BAD - BUYERs DO YOUR RESEARCH. Don't take their word, take the vehicle if you are so interested in to your mechanic before you pay for it. Save you a lot of headache and frustrations as I am going thru. One final thought on pricing - this vehicle if bought elsewhere would have been up to $3000.00 dollars less compared to their high markup price. They don't come down on prices - what is advertised is it. read more

Shout out and apologies for a late review. Despite the numerous reviews that would make one question purchasing a vehicle from Car Zone, I was pleasantly impressed. When I was final on a purchase decision I talked to Derick. Derick and the team came together immediately addressing concerns then making necessary repairs, as well as other positive corrections only to deliver a quality, safe used vehicle in a timely manner. His customer service made the no-haggle sales price easier to accept. Happy Customer here! Thank you Team Car Zone for a great car buying experience! read more

Bought a car here and less then 23hrs later the cars engine light came on. Sales people said it was due to the gas we put in. However it was due to the turbo going out. The sales people sent it to THIER auto shop. The car sat there for almost a month with nobody giving us an update. We received a car payment before even having the car for more than 24hrs. None of the sales people or mechanics were willing to work or take responsibility. DO NOT BUY HERE. read more

Bought a car here and 2 days later I returned it telling them it was acting up. they kept the car over a month, collecting the $1500 promissory note returning it to me telling me it was fixed. A month later took it back again, to their mechanic where it supposedly was fixed the 1st time. Their own mechanic told me he had never seen the vehicle. Long story short it is now having a whole new transmission put in. This place is a joke, nothing but a bunch of lying thieves. I do have to add that their mechanic Carlos seems legit and knows his shit. read more

I was looking to purchase a new car and was pleasantly surprised. Rich made the experience quick and easy while making it personal and friendly. He truly took the time to get to know me and my family to make sure we got what we needed. Love my new car!!! read more

I was in need of a second car for work. The cars I was searching for were quite out of my price range. I then stumbled upon car zone as I was driving with my friend. Went to the lot and spotted the car I liked. The Toyota there was nice. The car was clean and the salesman, Derick was professional in assisting me. I highly recommend checking them out for used cars. read more

So, we went into Carzone to look at vehicles and met a really nice young salesman. We had a good conversation with the young man then decided to negotiate the price. I was looking forward to negotiating the price with the young man... But the "finance manager" came over and sat at the desk. I have purchased several vehicles from used car lots and I know that there is usually room for negotiation in the price. It should be noted that I overheard the finance manager drop the F bomb several times, loud enough for us to hear it, while we were sitting at the desk prior to him arriving in front of us. I don't know if he was doing that for some sort of intimidation reason or not... No clue. I thought it was extremely unprofessional. He sat down in front of us and I started to negotiate. He was extremely unreasonable saying that it was almost offensive that I wanted to get $1200 off of a $15,000 price tag. He was rude to her faces. The experience was very unpleasant. It really felt like I was not welcome there... He was projecting a certain attitude that made me feel unwelcome. He indicated to me that he "called" the owner to see if he would be able to take $1200 off the price... Which I thought was weird... And he said the owner would not budge on the price. The whole experience pretty much sucked. If the experience was pleasant I would suggest you give them your business... But it was very unpleasant... And I will not be returning. read more

INSPECT THE HECK OUT OF THE VEHICLE YOU'RE LOOKING AT. Top to bottom drive it for awhile and feel it out. I purchased a vehicle from here said they did a full inspection of the vehicle but a week into having the vehicle I had to replace the power steering pump, belts, power steering hoses. Get full suspension cause the struts were blown from being on lowering springs, I have put about 80 miles on the vehicle and it's has been sitting for about 2 to 2-1/2 weeks cause the clutch went out. So there goes over 2k into that. Had to get all new tires cause they don't know how to align. Claimed it was aligned but when I took it in it was out of spec over 3 degrees in every area. Just don't dive in like I did cause I thought I was getting a good deal. Live and you learn. Don't recommend this place. read more

Called about a car on the web site. Asked questions about it and said I would come see it. Renee, the sales man so okay I will see you shortly. We arrived and they tell us that they sold it this morning and the "new" guy didn't know about it being sold. Really??? Then they proceed to try to up sell us. We said no and began to leave and they got attitude with us. "Okay if you're going to "play" that way fine". This is not a good place. I would never buy a vehicle from them. It's a scam site. Avoid this place. read more

PLEASE DONT BUY A CAR FROM HERE!!! This place took advantage of my mom who is elderly, she bought a car from here and in less then 40 miles driven off the lot the car broke down. It's a 3500$ minimum dollar fix!!! She is on a fixed income and can't afford that type of repair. They don't care at all and just said you signed the papers so it's your fault. Our mechanic says they must have known that these parts were not satisfactory. This was her last chance at getting a new car and it went horribly wrong. Please save yourself and don't come here. read more

I made a huge mistake buying my truck from these guys ! The truck didn't come with a key fob and the back up camera was broken . The salesman "RICH" told me they would fix it once I brought it back the next week . I made the mistake of not getting it in writing and when I came back the next week he pretended he didn't even recognize me or remember selling me the truck . And told me I didn't promise you anything . So needless to say I got screwed ! Just a bunch of lip service to make the sale . Once they got my money they didn't care about the customer anymore ! And the warranty they try to sell you is a complete joke ! Do not buy from these guys . Just bad business all around . A very unpleasant car buying experience read more

I found a vehicle I liked so I took it for a test drive and the vehicle shook on the car it's self and steering and there was a pop noise in the front end we told then if we got the car it needed to be fixed before we pick it up and finish paying the down payment. In writing they said fix shaking do alignment and balance they didn't fix any of that the first time and never gave me an invoice just told us what they did and when we returned it after getting it for the first time they did a balance they said but still haven't done alignment and car still shakes a little and the pop noise still exists here and there I wanted my money back because they can't figure out what's wrong with it and was told no haven't even had the car 2 weeks yet. Stay away!! read more

I bought an F 250 from Car Zone about a year and a half ago. I should've turned and ran at the get go but didn't. I bought the truck along with a $2,000 grade A warranty that was "the best on the market". My alarm kept going off and I told them it had to be a door sensor or the cluster. Their mechanics solution was to replace the better alarm system and replace it with a sub par system. That didn't take care of the problem. Over the next several months my door ajar light kept coming on along with my dome light. Over the next year and a half it's been nothing but a money pit. I've put almost as much into it as I paid for it. And I'm not done yet. The truck kept pulling to the left and I had it aligned twice. As it turned out the front end needed to be rebuilt. $4,000 there. Plus my new tires wore out in a year so I've already had to buy new tires. Another $1,200. I kept finding coolant in my engine compartment. I replaced the reservoir that was cracked and took my truck on a trip. More coolant and my truck over heated. Warped heads and needed new hoses. I had them semi bullet proof the motor while they were at it and that was $11,000. Back to the alarm system. I had the door sensors replaced and that was anther $350. Then I took it to a specialist and he determined that the cluster was going out and that's what was setting off my alarm. Another $1,200. So far I've put over $17,000 into this truck and the "A" warranty that they sold me on has not covered one single cent of these problems. For that price and what I put down on this truck I could've gone to a reputable dealer and gotten a great truck. My problems aren't over. I've got a bad vibration in the rear end and have to take it in and have that diagnosed. I've got too much invested in this damn truck that I can't walk away from it. How their mechanics missed all of this (if they did miss it), I'll never know. 1st time buying from a pot lot. Never again. I'll stick with the reputable dealers. read more

The guys over here are so genuine! Just got my car taken care of with amazing service! Thank you Pablo & Junior!

I don't recommend this car dealer at all. We have had non stop issues with the vehicle since we purchased it. They don't seem very component in putting in they payments. We were even told at the beginning of our loan that we had not made 3 payments which was not true. I go in tonight to make a payment and was told again we didn't make a payment for Nov which was untrue. I found the receipt for Nov and took it in. You would think they would apologize but NO. I don't recommend this place at all. Seems they don't take care of there books and really just don't give a shit about the customers. read more

Went in today to test drive and possibly buy a car. Dealer outright admitted to price gauging the current market. No deals to be had and all prices raised even cars that have been on the lot for months on end. At least lie to me and say you don't have room to negotiate, not that I'm going to take advantage of high gas prices and screw you even more. read more

I wish zero stars was an option. Terrible experience. This place is filled with a bunch of lying crooks. Don't believe all of the promises they tell you in order to buy one of their vehicles. Spend your hard earned money somewhere else. All of the work they promised they'd do to my 2013 Tacoma was the work from a bunch of hacks. They had the hood and roof painted and delivered my truck completely covered with dust, so I wouldn't see all of the dirt they painted over. They replaced the throw out bearing and didn't have the professionalism to call me and ask if I wanted the clutch replaced while they had the tranny out or offer to pay for it since I just paid 30k for the truck. The clutch is acting up now! Don't be like me! Do your research people! read more

This dealership is completely out of control, Renee was our salesman and he lied to us. Stating that the car we were looking at was on the lot for a month, I looked into it and they had the care for 157 days. They change the price several times. In December it was 14995, then they raised it in March to 15995, and then dropped it again to 14995, and once again raised it back to 15995. I asked Renee about this and his words were "OH"! I am very thankful that they did not accept my 14000 dollar offer. When the used car market returns to normal they will turn into vultures picking the meat off the bones of unsuspecting victims. read more

I bought a truck here and after 2 weeks of use the check engine light came on. I called and they told me that they do not give a guarantee! That is not your problem! I really do not recommend it, they deceive you and tell you nice things for you to buy! I do not recommend these people and I am going to talk to influencers and if I have to pay I will do it so that they publish everything on social networks. spend $2,500 to fix the bug! only two weeks of little use to go to work read more

before writing this review talk to my lawyer and we found the right words. I personally have a bad experience with the (general manager who by name of Pablo) bought a car in December of 2018 to them and 20 days later the car was I broke the engine, call to give me a solution they answered me but, the seller or the manager was not available, the girl who answered me told me that later they would call me but they never called me. I spent a week and they did not call me to say what would happen to the car so I stopped the check that I wrote about the payment and it was the way they contacted me. by means of this review I am looking for people affected by this dealer so that my lawyer can help them to return money they can contact me by means of my number to 775 4094555 and I started to complain with the dmv, business license and the department of silver flume nevada and I am waiting for a signature by a Nevada judge to advertise for 2 months on the radio for people to call my number and help people affected by this dealer can make a complaint without any cost of my lawyer everything is paid by my antes de escribir esta reseña hable con mi abogado y encontramos las palabras correctas bueno yo en lo personal tengo una mala experiencia con el (manager general que por nombre de Pablo) compre un carro en diciembre del 2018 a ellos y 20 días después el carro se le descompuso el motor, llame para que me dieran una solución me contestaron pero, no estaba disponible el vendedor ni el manager,la muchacha que me atendió me dijo que mas tarde ellos me llamarían pero nunca me llamaron . paso una semana y no me llamaron para decir que pasaría con el carro entonces que pare el cheque que escribí del pago y fue la manera que ellos me contactaron. por medio de esta reseña estoy buscado personas afectadas por este dealer para que mi abogado les ayude a que le regresen dinero me pueden contactar por medio de mi número al 775 4094555 ya empecé a quejarme con el dmv ,licencia de negocio y por el departamento de silver flume nevada y estoy esperando una firma por un juez de nevada para hacer publicidad por 2 meses en la radio para personas llamen a mi número y ayudarle a personas afectada por este dealer puedan hacer una queja sin ningún costo alguno de mi abogado todo es pagado po mi read more

I research around for a few weeks and went to several dealerships. As soon as I pulled up to Carzone Rich walked up me and asked how he could help. He help me find the truck I was looking for right away unlike the other dealerships who kept just trying to sell me what they wanted too. He went above and beyond to get me into my new truck. Didn't try to talk me into anything, gave me great advice and offered a lot of different ways to get financed. He wanted me to find what I was looking for and to me that is the best thing you can ask for at any place to go for vehicles. I recommend Carzone 100%. And my gracious was this thing detailed and the inside was beautiful. They were epic and I absolutely love my truck. Thanks guys! I'll come back in the future when I start looking for that full size toy hauler truck. Haha. Might be a few years but you'll have my first looks for something new. THANK YOU FOR BEING AWESOME read more

They sell cars illegally and without equitable title. We have to hire an attorney, get the Nevada Attorney Generals office involved and the Nevada DMV title enforcement involved to get a title to a car we bought 8 months ago. Still unsuccessful to this day 8 months after. If you call about your title they say no one can help you, and they don't know who can help you and they don't know when the person that can help you will be in. If you threaten legal action then "they are done talking to you and you can speak to their attorney" so they'd rather spend money on that then just give you the title to a car you already bought. read more

Went here to buy a DTS for my father and although on the internet it said "make an offer" they would not negotiate one cent lower than the asking price. Car had cosmetic defects filthy inside AC making grinding noises. Concerned that there were other macanical issues. If they don't negotiate prices they should post that. This is a direct quote from the sales manager "If you don't pay full price today tomorrow we are raising the price by $1000". If your looking on the internet do not trust them to adequately represent their vehicles. read more

I purchased my vehicle on March 15th, 2021. I was told they were going to replace a few things in the shop then the car would be mine. ( New Roof, 1 new passenger mirror). It is now April 17th and still no car. I've called multiple times to get the same answer of " yeah, it's being worked on". I have proceeded to ask when it will be finished or a rough estimate on time. Still NOTHING! These guys will tell you anything you want to hear to make a dime. I understand the world is in a tough place. There's no reason for it to take OVER a month to get a estimate on when my vehicle will be finished. Untill then I'm making payments on a truck I don't even have. read more

BUYER BEWARE- Majority of there cars sold there are Accident cars, They currently have a genesis where the airbags were deployed in a major crash, where it wasn't reported. Friends have mustangs and Volkswagens bought from this dealership with frame damages. This dealership thrives on making money off of cars in Minor/Major Accidents which they can slide under the table that they were not in accidents (ILLEGAL IN WISCONSIN). read more

Only go to this dealership is you know what you are looking for and can take control of your situation. This is a great place if you are down on your luck and need something a little more affordable than a brand new car. Before getting into any car, check the Carfax (not the one from the dealership), take a test drive, and look under the hood, if you don't, you could very well end up with something that will break down on you soon after driving off, and this companies policy, in which they do make ALL their customers sign, is you are buying the vehicle "as is". Please keep in mind, that even though they do not say it out loud, know what you are signing. There IS a form that does say that you have 30 days to bring the car back to the lot without penalty, with the exception that you do not get your deposit back. It took a couple of weeks and several calls in order to get all of my copied documentation. I just now contacted my loan lender and they told me that the dealership still has not sent them all of my documentation either so they cannot yet complete my loan details. Overall, this company is very accommodating and on the ball when it comes to acquiring a customer, however once the paperwork is signed and you have driven off the lot, they drag their feet and basically wash their hands of you. I love my car, but will not be going back to this company, nor will I recommend my friends and family go there unless they can handle the Sales mentality types. read more

If you want a lemon, this is the place. They specialize in the scam used car sale! Warning! Do NOT buy a car here

Very unprofessional. Should've seen it coming when i test drove the vehicle on my own with no sales associate asking me about my experience or more about the vehicle. Since i barely had credit, they asked me for a co signer which was absolutely fine, until they wanted about 1/2 of the cars worth upfront as down payment. Yes the vehicle was an older vehicle however i had asked at first if i would have to put 1/2 down as down payment and they said no we can help you finance. Last but not least, they sent mail regarding my credit to my job like its any of they're business. Would not recommend this place to anyone trying to buy a vehicle. read more

BUYER BEWARE!!! I can only speak to my experience, so what I am about to tell you is 100% true! I was shopping for my mom a used car and located one of there cars online a 2008 S550 Mercedes Benz with 43k miles, I was very interested so I contacted them by email and they responded. I spoke to Ms. Lorraina Currie, a pleasant woman with good intentions. After some preliminary questions, I made an offer and she explained that she would need to take it to her manager. The next day when we spoke, she explained that the used car market had a price increase for this vehicle and that they would need to increase the price by $1000 dollars. She offered to let me speak to her manager Pablo, who came to the phone, and after trying to convince me that his boss wanted to increase the price, that he was able to convince him to honor the advertised price and sell me the car at the originally listed price. So I agreed to pay the full asking price and we had a deal. Meanwhile, my mom submitted a credit application and I eventually had to submit one also because she needed a co-signer! Here comes the part of the story that should make you pause and seriously reconsider whether or not you want to do business with Car Zone. After everything was submitted and I was waiting for the loan approval, suddenly all communication went dark, two days went by without a text or return phone call. Finally after being persistent for an answer, Pablo the manager called me back and said " Mr. Baker, I am sorry but we are not going to be able to sell you this car!" "After my mechanic performed its final inspection, we noticed a slippage in the transmission," I said really, you're telling me an S550 Mercedes Benz with 43000 miles needs a transmission? This was laughable, especially after reviewing the Carfax which had a record of the vehicle's service history which had been maintained on schedule. I believe he lied to me, I could only shake my head. They strung me along for over a week, put a hard inquiry on my mom and my Experian credit report, and have copies of our driver's license and personal information. If I sound angry it's because I am! Looking at other reviews, some people have had great and good experiences but mine was the type that gives used car dealers such a bad reputation! The owner does not have integrity, he should have his license suspended! BUYER BEWARE!!! read more
