Carol Stickel at Yalcars is AMAZING! I just bought a beautiful silver 2019 Nissan Versa from her,…read moreand I couldn't be happier. In fact, Carol made this purchase the best car buying experience of my life! (And I'm 56 years old - I've done my fair share of car buys.) From the first contact where she promptly responded to my message asking if the car was still available until she handed me the key, Carol was respectful, helpful, and knowledgeable. She was also compassionate about my situation, and I was in a bad situation. On Saturday, July 13th at 5:30 in the morning, a deer leaped from the far side embankment into the driver's side hood of my 2017 Nissan Versa. It was devastating, and since it was painfully obvious my car might be totaled, I began to look for a replacement right away. There was time pressure, because as soon as the car was declared a total loss, the insurance company would give me only five days to find a replacement before they stopped paying for the rental car. I didn't think that would be enough time. However, thanks to Carol, and her amazing efficiency, I was able to get into my new car in record time. I returned the rental car TWO DAYS EARLY, and I didn't have to pay for a single day of the rental out of my own pocket. (side note: Carol also gave me excellent advice about rental car return policies!) I live over a hundred miles from Youngstown, so Carol arranged a video call for me to see the car. I was able to get a really good idea of the car's condition. Additionally, Carol even pointed out to me a crack in the windshield which I hadn't noticed in the photos online (this was my error - it had been well-documented). She offered to roll the repair into the cost of the car, and she got an excellent dealer price for the new windshield and installation as well as getting it done the next day so it wouldn't push back pick-up time. Of course, I was also shopping at other places at the same time, including Carvana, and Carol got me a much better deal on the car I wanted than any other place offered me. She also found me financing with a lower interest rate than Carvana offered! In fact, if I hadn't been able to drive out to pick it up, Carol could have shipped the car to me just like Carvana would have. End of the story: on Saturday the 20th of July, just one week after my previous car was totaled, I arrived at Yalcars to pick up my new car, it was in exactly the condition that Carol had presented it to be. I could not be happier with Carol, and I love the car she sold me!

An absolute disgrace. Do yourself a favor and research all…read morethe negative reviews before you walk in here. IF you buy a car from here take it to a mechanic to have it looked at. These crooks do NOT run their vehicles through service after being traded in, they clean and shine them up and re sell. My experience We came here to purchase a 2021 Kia Telluride. We needed something reliable for my family and I. While sitting down with ours salesman Mark Prokay I asked SPECIFIC QUESTIONS. I wanted to see the repair order from when they brought it in the shop from the previous owner trading it in... he assured me they bring all the vehicles in and everything checked out great. I told him I was mainly concerned about the brakes, rotors and tires .. he said everything was near perfect there was nothing to worry about. After a few weeks I reached out to the dealership and told them my temp tags were about to expire and I was still waiting on the sales tax check they were suppose to be sending me. They said it should be coming etc. After my tags expired I reached back out (at this time I got pulled over and got a ticket) Told them about it and was not happy. I also mentioned they never fully paid my previous loan off(car I traded in ) after them telling me they weren't responsible for it and they tried taking that amount from my sales tax check! (Ohio car to PA transfer) After a few days of going back and forth The GM Russ did make it right and sent us the check immediately. And we greatly appreciated that from him. At this time (almost 2 months later) I took the car to get a PA State inspection done on it (had to wait that long because of the registration etc) I took it to a dealership that basically gave me a quote for a whole new car.... *They told me there was ZERO oil in it. *Brakes and rotors were down to 0. *My coolant sensor needed replaced (warranty covered $1,200 out of the $1,700 repair) *Serpentine belt needed replaced *both side front CVs axels need replaced *one tire has a bubble because of a bent rim *engine and cabin filters are FILTHY (previous owner had a mouse issue ) (Called a maintenance shop from a previous repair off car fax. (The owner of that dealer told me "don't buy that car") And a list full of other stuff that needs done. They told us to bring the car back over to them so they can check it out and get us better pricing etc (Why we are responsible for something they should of fixed before selling is beyond me) Specifically when I asked Mark about these things... They gave me a quote for brakes and rotors all the way around. Oil change And the CV axels..... that was $1,300 roughly. Not the sensor that needs done, filters, Tire that has a bubble in it, NO OIL ( Previous dealer said I'm probably going to have to take to Kia for a motor replacement) Nor anything else... Btw they said they were going to give me better prices for these items, nor did that happen. That's typical dealer prices. No where on that is discounted. I asked AGAIN for the repair order when they "ran it through service" And now they can't find it because they moved buildings.... Which is BS. Dealerships are required to keep paperwork for an extended amount of time, esp if it has warranty they may get audited Once you sign those papers they do not care. At all... STAY FAR AWAY from this place, look at all of they're reviews (all terrible) They should all be ashamed of themselves. They claim they sold us a "very nice car" A car I literally can't even drive bc it has no oil, brakes and rotors. They never checked it out. Etc. First picture listed is the quote from Yalcar. Other pictures are proof of the mess and from the other dealer I took it to for inspection.

Best Auto Shop Experience I've Ever Had - Truly Like Family…read more I don't usually write long reviews, but this experience absolutely deserves it. I started calling around because my brakes were squeaking, just doing price checks like anyone would. RT Barrett Auto Sales was only the second place I called but something about his spirit over the phone made me stop right there. I didn't even feel the need to keep calling other places. That alone says a lot. When I arrived, I was greeted by Ron and his wife, and from that moment on, the energy was nothing but warm, welcoming, and genuine. They were both incredibly kind, and you can just tell they truly love what they do. The shop itself? CLEAN, organized, and comfortable. Not your typical auto shop at all. They had a TV set up, asked what me and my son wanted to watch (my son is autistic, so that meant a lot), and we ended up enjoying SpongeBob and Madagascar together. They also had a fridge stocked with drinks, name-brand snacks like Lays chips, pretzels, and even a big jar of candy. It honestly felt more like a welcoming space than a waiting room. Now let's talk about the service... Ron and the other mechanic (I wish I remembered his name!) were AMAZING. What stood out to me the most is that they didn't just fix my car. They educated me. Ron took his time explaining everything about my brakes, fluids, and how my car operates in a way I've never experienced before. It was so detailed and clear, almost like a class. If he ever offered one, I would sign up immediately! I also really appreciated his honesty. He was straightforward in the best way respectful, but real. I'm someone who values constructive feedback, and he delivered it in a way that made me feel informed, not judged. What's crazy is just days before this, I was telling a friend how badly I wished I could find a mechanic I could trust. I've had a couple of cars since I was 21 and have been to plenty of shops but THIS place? This is the first time I truly felt comfortable. It honestly felt like home. Ron, his wife, and his team don't just provide a service they care. And that's rare. I grabbed extra business cards because I will be recommending them to everyone I know, especially women like me who may not know much about cars but deserve honesty, respect, and quality care. If they ever move locations, I will gladly drive to wherever they are--no question. To me, they are not just the best shop in Youngstown... they are the best, period. Thank you all so much. I truly can't put into words how much I appreciate you. You've gained a lifelong customer--and honestly, it feels like I gained a new family.
