I knew it was a mechanic's special, but he told me that the mechanic hadn't looked at it yet because they just got it. Not so, they had it almost an entire year before selling it to me.

Our family is getting bigger so we finally decided it was time to get a mini van…read more We came across Carnova from a Facebook post they had for a Pacifica. It was by far the cheapest Pacifica listed , from we could tell, so we thought we would check it out. The dealership itself isn't really what you'd expect when pulling up to a dealership. It's a warehouse building that's tucked away off of state st. There isn't a front door or anything. So if they aren't already expecting you, you'd have to knock on the big garage door or something until they notice you. Fortunately, we were expected so we didn't have to wait long. Gus was the one we worked with and he was very friendly and professional. He let us take the car for a drive by ourselves while they evaluated how much they would give us for our car. We decide we wanted to move forward and at that point he walked us around the side of the shop to a side door. Inside was a little make shift office to go over numbers. The process did not take long at all, and we ended up with what I believe was a great deal. He even told us about a 30 day drivetrain warranty that the dealership provided at no cost. However this was not in writing anywhere, which made me a little wary about it. So why 4 stars instead of 5 if everything went great? About a week after owning the van, a check engine light came. We had the light diagnosed and discovered there was an issue with cylinder 4, and that the top two engine mounts were shot. We notified Gus of this issue and he gave us no trouble at all, and had us drop the car back off at the dealership so they could take a look. They had it for about a week and a half or so. They said they didn't get the check engine light to come up but did fix the engine mounts and discovered a small coolant leak. Another day or so of having it, the check engine light popped up again for the same issue. Again, Gus did not give us any trouble and they took the car back. They had it for two weeks this time, but reported that they made the necessary repairs. I wish we had been offered a temporary car while they had our car for a total of almost a month, but I suppose I should be happy that they upheld their 30 day warranty (which they very easily could have chosen not to do) Despite the issues we had with the car, I would 100% return to buy another car here. It's very difficult to find an honest car dealership these days

When I looked up the warnings, it recommended not driving the vehicle, so I had it towed to the dealership for diagnosis. This vehicle has been regularly serviced at another Toyota dealership, and part of the reason we chose to purchase a Toyota was for their reputation for engine performance and longevity. I was shocked by what I was told next. After diagnostics, I was informed my engine had major issues and needed significant repair. I was told cylinder #1 was misfiring and, after several tests including a leak-down test and compression test, that the bank 1 head and valves needed to be replaced. I was quoted just under $10,000 for repairs, on top of nearly $700 in diagnostic fees. I was extremely stressed and shocked that a well-maintained, relatively new vehicle would require what sounded like catastrophic engine work. After speaking with another Toyota dealership and a few independent mechanics, several expressed confusion that my vehicle would need such a major repair. Some even mentioned that for that price, a new engine could be installed. These were definite red flags, so I trusted my gut and sought a second opinion. Because we were under the impression the engine was in catastrophic condition and the vehicle shouldn't be driven, we had it towed a second time to another shop, which we later learned wasn't necessary. This added additional cost and stress. I'm incredibly glad I did. The second shop ran the same tests and found nothing wrong with cylinder #1. They were baffled that I had been told I needed such extensive work. Their diagnosis ultimately saved me $10,000. We did call the service manager to express our concerns. He was apologetic and explained that the results were slightly under Toyota's expectations, but not catastrophic. He asked how he could make it right and adjusted the diagnostic fees, which I appreciated. While I would rate my experience with him higher, I'm leaving one star specifically due to the diagnosis itself, which caused significant stress, unnecessary towing, and could have resulted in a very costly repair. I understand mistakes can happen, but this was one that could have been extremely expensive. I would strongly encourage others to seek a second opinion when facing major repairs.

I would avoid this place at all costs…read more Friend recommended it since he bought his 4runner here a few years ago. I am interested in a Rav4 Hybrid but also looking at Mazda CX-50 Hybrids. My sales person, Logan, was nice but not the most knowledgeable. I told him a was early in the looking stage (which is true). Took the Rav4 LE Hybrid for a drive. Its nice but too basic. He then wanted me to drive the XSE Prime. It was nice but way more expensive (Im not sure the extra cost will pay off) and I dont want a plug-in. He really pushed the Prime but also tried to push waiting for the 2026 models. Oh did I mention both are pre-owned. The Prime had 43k miles on it. Not terrible. I told him I drove a regular CX-50 and the driving was much better than the Rav4. His response: Toyota's Hybrid system has been around for a long time. True, but if he was knowledgeable he would know Mazda is using Toyota's system as part of their partnership. I dont expect him not to sell me but atleast know your facts. I appreciate someone who acknowledges other brands and you will be more likely to earn my business. On the Prime test drive he didnt let me take it on the freeway which was weird and I dont feel like you can get the same experience without freeway driving. I also said I wanted to look at a Land Cruiser. He didnt everything in his power to make sure I didnt see one. He sort of pushed the 4runner which I was not interested in. Never drove or saw a Land Cruiser. It irked me a little but whatever. Ended up sitting at his desk to "look at other models" which never happened. He brought in his closer. Not sure his name but he was a pretty rude asian male. He said he would offer me the Prime for $42k with a $10k trade in for my car. Told him Im not interested. He said its the end of the month and he wants to make a deal. I told him I wanted to wait for the 2026s to see how those drive. He said its going to be a long time until those are released. I told him its only march, I can wait. He just sat there. Eventually I kept saying no and he left. The payments also pretty ridiculous, btw, over $600 per month for 72 months. Logan shook my hand and walked away. One problem. He had my car keys when I agreed to an appraisal. When I said I wanted then back, he goes oh yeah i forgot. Now I looked online and found other Prime's with better mileage and similar options for less than this place. I also found really good deals on CX-50 Hybrids. And multiple dealerships said they would offer KBB for my car which is $5k more than Malone Toyota. If Im swayed back to Toyota I will look elsewhere. Otherwise Mazda might be the choice.

My husband and I originally received an offer in the mail from Volkswagen SouthTowne at a time when…read morewe had already been seriously considering refinancing our 2022 Atlas. The interest rate on our used vehicle--especially one that was already a few years old--felt overwhelming, and we had been receiving multiple refinance offers that would have cut our payment nearly in half. That seemed like the practical path forward. Still, we decided to explore what Volkswagen SouthTowne might offer. We loved our Atlas, so we felt comfortable walking away if the experience didn't feel right. At worst, we would simply continue with our original plan and refinance through our credit union. From the moment we arrived, everything changed. We were immediately greeted by Mariah, whose energy was warm, genuine, and inviting. I'll admit, we came in a bit guarded and cautious, unsure of what to expect. Yet Mariah met us with patience and understanding, taking the time to truly listen--what we loved about our current vehicle, what we relied on day-to-day, and what features would enhance our lifestyle, from everyday errands to family camping trips. What stood out most was her approach. She was never pushy, never intimidating--just thoughtful and attentive. As a woman, I especially appreciated how she included me fully in the conversation. In past experiences, I've often felt overlooked or uncomfortable at dealerships, but with Mariah, I felt respected, heard, and completely at ease. We were curious about a newer Atlas, and in my mind, it was all or nothing--I wasn't interested unless it truly made sense. When we test drove the 2025 Atlas, we immediately fell in love. Still, we weren't sure if it would even be possible without additional money down. Mariah made it happen. The process itself was surprisingly smooth and efficient. In the past, we've spent hours waiting at dealerships, but this experience felt seamless. While everything was being finalized, she had us relax in a lounge area and even arranged for the vehicle to be detailed again--despite it already being spotless. What truly elevated the experience, though, was the atmosphere of the entire dealership. Every employee we encountered--sales staff, finance team, technicians--took a moment to check in, congratulate us, and share in our excitement. It created such a welcoming and positive environment, something we had never experienced before. Even after the deal was complete, Mariah continued to go above and beyond. She stayed to help us transfer all of our belongings from our old Atlas into the new one, double- and triple-checking that everything was perfect and that we felt completely confident before leaving. Her level of care didn't end with the sale--it felt genuine from start to finish. And then, when we thought the night couldn't be any more memorable, it was. After leaving the dealership, we realized my husband had misplaced his phone--possibly in our old vehicle or even on top of it. We rushed back, hoping for the best. Although Mariah had already gone home, one of the remaining team members--who appeared to be from the service or detailing department--stepped in without hesitation to help us. Despite it being the end of a long day, he went out of his way to assist, even riding with us across the lot to check our old vehicle. To our amazement, the phone was sitting right on top of the car, completely unharmed. His kindness, patience, and willingness to help--without making us feel like an inconvenience--left a lasting impression. He even took the time to ask about our new car and congratulate us before we left. That moment truly reflected the culture at Volkswagen SouthTowne. Our experience here completely changed our perception of car dealerships. What once felt stressful and intimidating now feels welcoming and even enjoyable. While we had read great reviews before visiting, seeing it firsthand made all the difference. Without hesitation, we will return in the future--and we will absolutely seek out Mariah again. She brings a rare combination of professionalism and genuine warmth that makes the entire process feel effortless. Thank you, Mariah, and thank you to the entire team at Volkswagen SouthTowne. Whatever you're doing, it's working. You've created an environment that truly stands out. If you're considering a new vehicle, I highly recommend visiting Volkswagen SouthTowne--and be sure to ask for Mariah.
