BEWARE! I wish I could do no stars because this dealer is so unethical. Denny proved he has absolutely zero professional integrity. His word means nothing. He will string you along, allow you to waste your time and money on financing and insurance, and then pull the rug out from under you the moment a higher offer walks in the door. If you value your time and want to do business with an honest car dealer who honors their commitments, DO NOT go to Denny! You cannot trust this man. I have a feeling he's professional to the locals, because all the bad ratings are from out of towners like me. read more

Great people doing great things for the public....Excellent customer service! Went the extra mile in helping me select an auto for my needs!

Beware. Untrustworthy; a very poor experience I sincerely wish this review were quite the opposite of what it is, and that I would be singing praises of my experience here instead of recounting a negative one. It's certainly not my intention to slander this dealership nor its people, but I do think it's important for potential buyers to know what they might be getting into. Summary: I live in Chicago, and did all of the necessary due diligence prior to going to see the vehicle in Ohio--checked out Carfax, Autocheck, compared prices, and negotiated a reasonable deal over the phone with the dealership. I took a full day off of work and spent it in vain, since the car turned out to be a mess, requiring $11k to repair. The dealership could've been up front with me, before I made all of that investment into going and seeing it. It is difficult to believe that the dealership didn't know about these major issues as they were trying to sell the vehicle to me; if they didn't know about them, then that's a whole other problem in and of itself--either bad of heart, or bad of head. Regardless, it's bad. The car was marketed as being in "impeccable condition" and looked great on the outside; however, when I took it out for a test drive and looked underneath the hood, there were major oil leaks all over the engine. A visit to the mechanic--and the unbiased opinion of 4 different mechanics there--confirmed that vehicle would need approximately $11k to make it run reliably, from changing the turbo to the oil separator system, to brakes and rotors. The problems were so glaringly evident that I would not be willing to purchase the vehicle even if they offered to put in significant money for the repairs. No negotiating when there's no trust. When I called the deal off, they didn't even try to sell it. I believe that they are waiting for the next person to make that mistake. In the end, I think that their sales model is to take advantage of people who are so set on purchasing a great looking car, that they don't think about inspecting it, and trust in the dealership's image. In my case, that would have been a major and very costly mistake. Buyer beware. read more

Denny himself helped me out with the purchase of my 06 911 Carrera S October of 2018. It's a great family owned dealership that I would buy from again, even with me being in NJ. Great dealership, great people and great cars. Thanks Denny! read more

Bought a Chevy ss trailblazer from these guys. Had it delivered and found a few issues upon delivery. I contacted the dealership they found a mechanic that was local to me in Long Island NY. Mechanic fixed and the car is running nice. read more

disclaimer:: Sharing my own experience with this dealer, this post is here just as a Sign post of caution and the reader should make the best judgement according to their thinking! Let me cut the chase.... make every effort to avoid this dealership!!! I brought a car which, on inspection by a Car Mechanic, showed it was entirely damaged , unsafe to drive and the mechanic quoted me ~$7500 to make it safe. If you are still wondering why read further. If you just like things shiny from outside then don't be surprised to find it broken on the inside :) !! I am very sure this review will disappear soon because it is the truth about this dealer let me give you some reasons why. Well let me start with the positives to start with well they do deserve at least 1 star for this but wait till the negatives a) very attractive webpage and pictures taken in a great location b) good list of exotic cars (mostly from auctions) c) Will just give you one paper for your car buying (not complete) Now the meat of the matter 1) Money- Their cars are on purpose priced at least a $1000 or $1500 more than the maximum KBB value. 2) 30-35 years of experience in the industry --- so easily they are ahead of the game. All talk, very persuasive, will not budge on the deal and you always end up losing. 3) Trade-in is a bad idea , don't do it coz they will always offer you less on what your vehicle is worth anyway. 4) Not a single time did they return a call. They won't so if you are from out of town it's an easy answer. Especially when you say there are issue with the car you just bought. 5) There is no inspection report done or sheet which is mandatory to be given when you are selling a car to someone. 6) There is no buy back at all and even if an exchange is offered unless you are ready to lose at least a couple of thousand $$$ 7) The only reply you will get from the owner is I am not the manufacturer and now you learnt a lesson for life about how not to buy a car trusting any car dealer 8) you will get a car with more mileage than advertised 9) You are on your own, no warranty 10) If you are not a car savvy person then you are in for a ride. I was sold a car with lower than safe thread wear , worn out brake pads, broken engine, broken transmission etc. etc. Very very dishonest In short if you have fun losing your money for good or want to drive around with a shiny new vehicle thinking you got a deal. Congrats!! you have been successfully duped. Now wake up smell some coffee you have been just cheated!!! read more

Good Morning I just read the review from the last review posted and I couldn't be MORE opposite. I purchased a vehicle from them on line and had it shipped site unseen. There were some very minor issues but decided I was not happy with my decision. Without any hesitation in taking with Denny he said just send it back????? Who in todays times of doing business could and would be so honorable. I have been chatting with Denny for a while in search of a vehicle. When you are spending your money you can feel very safe when dealing with Dotson Automotive. By the way I am not related to or have any other business dealings with this company. It must be true what they say that Mid Western folk are just nice ,honest and sincere people. Its nice to know there are some left in the world. read more

I have purchased numerous cars and trucks from Denny and his staff and they always manage to find what I am looking for and get me the best deal on financing and my trades. They have always been there for me even after the sale and I trust them without question! read more

We are not the car dealership kind of people. After going to a few dealerships and being overwhelmed by monthly payments we were discouraged. Denny and his staff explained every step along the way and each and every cost. We love our car and it is perfect for us! They were very straight forward about everything. 6 months later, our car is everything we wanted and more. We may even go back for another next year! read more

You will love this car dealership. If you're looking for the hottest cars in the market, whether it's a classic, a muscle car, a high-end sports car or a luxury sedan, look no further. Denny has them all either on his lot or online. And, with all of their experience, they won't steer you wrong. They are survivors for a reason. I love these guys! read more

Friendly people, great cars and always something new and interesting, also, good prices. What more can you ask for. Would buy again
