It is like buying a used car from your neighbor…read more Car sales redefined... it is. This is how car sales should have always been, but only Bryan is doing that. 5 months ago I bought from Brayan a used Nissan Leaf 2013. -. First time doing business with Bryan. -. Without looking the car in person. -. With a delivery on a trailer to the door by Bryan, from Oregon to Washington. -. With all the papers done. -. First time meeting Bryan in person only at the delivery drop off. *. Why I bought the car from another state? Because I was looking for a Red Nissan Leaf SV or SL, 2013 or younger with Tan interior - and those are relatively hard to find. Good Luck Bryan !!!

In the late summer of 2019, I bought a Subaru Forester from Bryan at Dash Auto Sales. I had such a…read moregood experience that I came back to Bryan in October of 2023, when a family member needed a quality vehicle. We ended up buying a BMW 3-series wagon. I immediately drove the BMW to the recipient's home, 500 miles away, with no problems. I've taken the Subaru around the country in the last 4 years with similar luck. Bryan is a skillful negotiator but he's never dishonest. He's passionate about serving his customers and he makes every transaction a work of art. If you're in the Willamette Valley and you need a quality ride at a fair price, I'd encourage you to consider his business very carefully.

It started the way these stories always do: A luxury car that looked like trouble in heels. She…read morehad the curves, the shine, the kind of allure that makes you stop thinking and start believing. Except the first time I met her in a PNW downpour the windshield wiper flapped uselessly like a limp handshake. Replacing the wipers was contractual. Basic safety. A correction to meet the State's prim-and-proper dress code. Still met with a laissez-faire attitude. When I picked her up, her glasses were still broken. I took the fix into my own hands--parts shop on the way home, a couple of tenners, a little elbow grease, done. Next up, the key fob. The emergency key was missing, the kind of detail that only matters when it matters. I brought it up, like an old lover who still believes a wrong turn should end with a nightcap and an apology. Instead, it turned from good cop to bad cop faster than a red carpet turns into a doormat. Then Murphy made a house call. The battery went low. She wouldn't let me in, like a partner who caught me gambling with the rent money. I used my one free call to get a locksmith to bail me out. Time and money burned on something promised on the first date. Next the check engine light blinked into life like it couldn't wait to hand me a bill and a lecture. Still loyal, I went back to them instead of the brand shop off the two one seven. One tip slipped across the bar after another. Reassurance she was safe to take out on the town without having to constantly look over my shoulder. It was just a false trail that kept circling back to the same code I heard on the scanner from day one. I was being led on a wild goose chase and suspected I was the stuffing. After months of silence and no new leads I picked up the phone to reopen the case, like a jilted ex dialing a number I know I shouldn't. The witnesses had "left." The records were "tied up." I was told the specifics about the prior investigation were withheld for "legal reasons." It read like the old standards had left the building, and she'd taken her charm with her. Trusting my first instinct, I took the old girl to the brand shop, the place that spoke her native tongue. They handed me the facts. No passing the buck. No song and dance. Workmanship you could hang your hat on. I'd finally gotten the full meal deal, but I'd lost my wallet in the process. I figured I'd give Freeman one last chance to make things right. I'd played this scene before, back when deals were clean and handshakes meant something. Back then, I had a number in my head and they hit it like a sharpshooter. This time it was a slow middle school dance on a wet gym floor, and every step felt wrong. The numbers didn't add up, even the Kelly Blue Boys gave me the kind of look you save for a three-card monte table. Sure, I could take a bruising, but I hadn't signed up to get rolled. The relationship ended with a love letter that read like a case file, our entire history laid out in black and white, followed by a reply that never came. Freeman was a name I'd trusted since I was a rookie twenty years back, the door I knocked on when I wanted a fair and honest deal, the place I sent friends, family, and associates. Somewhere along the way, it seemed they traded the Freeman name for the Saul Goodman Sunday Special. In this town, some places sell you a promise the way a magician sells you a trick. You watch the shine. You miss the move. I gave them every chance to play it straight, but instead I got a different story each time, ended up with the bills, and found myself alone in the rain without an umbrella. Ragged, like a mark who realized the gig too late, I closed the file, because sometimes that's the only win you get. Take a walk. Don't look back. The rain will wash the footprints away.

Cut to this month and I receive a letter first stating I owe them $60.37 due to a "cancellation from my trade" (mind you they already sold my old car). Then in the second paragraph they note that I need to send a cashier check for $798.40 and if not done by the 3rd request they will send me to collections. Um how did it go from $60.37 to $798.40?!? I have had no communication from them since August and was not made aware of any shortage until November in this poorly written letter. I love my car but their business practices are AWFUL!

I looked at their website and their prices online are cheaper than what they show on the lot. A 6k car will suddenly be a 8-9k priced car. Been hearing about this Moss guy, finally met him and can say he's definitely one of those usual car salesman that says "Oh that can be fixed before you are given the car" which, if you read some of the reviews on Yelp you can see they're liars about that. I knew this place was no good but only visited due to desperation. And that's the kind of people these guys target. Be cautious, they don't do ANY warranties on their cars for anybody. They want to sell bad cars for more money than they actually put into the vehicle.

Jim had me do a warranty and it cost like very little per month. I have no worries if something goes wrong.

Didn't take a long time to get my deal done, Jim was really thorough with the paper work, so I was done with everything in like 40 to 45 minutes. As soon as I picked the car I wanted to buy, Jim had the paper work printed and done so fast!!!! These guys are so nice. I would recommend anyone and everyone to this business.

Honest and Straight Forward…read more From the very beginning, Kaleb and Marcos were willing to work with us on our first large purchase as a married couple! We were able to negotiate a reasonable price on a 2024 Chevrolet Trax and drive it away the same day with a sparkling wash job and a tank full of gas. Jacob was over the top in customer service. He was more than friendly and professional through servicing our new Trax when applying the ceramic coating plus installing the cargo mat and luggage racks. A great, big thank you to all these guys for the best experience at a car dealership (of which we had poor customer service at multiple dealerships before making the trip to Capitol Chevrolet). If shopping for a new vehicle, go to Capitol Chevrolet Cadillac first to save yourself time and money!

Bad customer service from the service department starting with the service Manager Aaron. I have…read morebeen in and out of the service department dealing with a malfunction brake pad sensor. I have left 5 voicemails for Aaron but till this day he has not responded back. I called back in August many many times. The service at this location is horrible, I will definitely not take my suv to get serviced at this location. It seems as if service techs are being lazy and not doing their jobs. The service specialist that assisted me at the time said they couldn't do anything and all I could do is turn off the notifications that my car keep alerting me because they weren't able to fix the malfunction of the sensor. Capital Chevrolet service department struggles and obviously doesn't have the capacity to detect issues in customers Vehicles. It's a waist of customers time. I contacted GMC and I was referred to Power Buick GMC on Market Street instead. Power Buick GMC was able to diagnose the problem without any hesitation and ordered the part without going through any hassle.

We were shopping for a used car, and had a great experience with both of the sales reps we dealt…read morewith -- Gavin & Cameron. We first looked at a 2018 Civic on the Subaru lot, but my daughter wanted to look at other options (wasn't set on a Civic). The good thing about the Capitol setup, is they have Chevrolet and Toyota right there, so we were able to go look at quite a few other newer used car options. We drove a 2022 Kia Forte, as well as a 2018 Chevy Cruze LT RS, and liked both of them better than the Civic -- they both had a lot lower miles, and were quieter on the road. We never felt any pressure from either sales associate, and felt they were very helpful in finding us viable options. We took a break to go get some lunch while we did research on the vehicles, then came back to work out a deal for the Cruze with Cameron and company. All of the associates involved with the deal mentioned several extended warranty options, but given the fact that the car only had 31K miles, was regularly serviced next door at the Chevy dealer, and got good reliability ratings from several consumer agencies, we declined. The finance guy pressured a little harder, and was on the verge of being a jerk about it, but I stood my ground and left without any add-ons. I'm fine with that. The overall atmosphere inside the dealership is laidback, with an inviting waiting area stocked with snacks and water. As far as used car buying experiences go, I rate this one pretty highly. Thanks, Gavin & Cameron, for making it that way.

Capitol Subaru had my 2015 Outback for two weeks for CVT issues. In the end the best they could do…read morewas confirm there was a problem and that the FIRST STEP would be to replace the torque converter and oil at $3,310. Then, if that didn't fix the issue, they would replace the valve body at $2,500, and then, if that didn't fix the problem, they would replace the entire transmission to the tune of $11,000. Now, if they can't pinpoint the problem why would we pay over $16,000 to repair an 11-year-old car with 81,000 miles on it? Proper diagnostics are key, but they just wanted to throw parts at it. Oh, and BTW, Subaru of America wouldn't help because we were out of the extended warranty period by one year on a KNOWN CVT problem. Never again Subaru
