Chandler was amazing and I would suggest any of my family or friends to go to him!! Modern classic motors really did a outstanding job.

I apologize for the length of this but if you live in Grand Junction and are thinking of purchasing a vehicle, you are going to want to read this. My wife and I purchased a 2019 Ram 3500 from Modern Classic Motors after selling our home to travel the country full-time in the fifth-wheel RV we had just purchased from them. After buying our RV, they directed us to their automotive dealership to purchase a truck capable of towing it. Before the purchase, we specifically explained exactly how this truck would be used. They had just sold us the RV, knew we planned to travel the country full-time, and knew we would periodically return home to help care for our parents, who are both in their late 70s. During the sales process, we were told the truck only needed relatively minor repairs, new tires, a new windshield, spark plugs, and other small items. At no point before signing were we told the engine required complete replacement or had suffered catastrophic damage. About one week after signing, but before we ever took possession, we were suddenly informed the truck needed a complete engine replacement because, as we were told, the "whole engine was severely damaged." We immediately asked to unwind the deal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Modern Classic Motors refused, assuring us everything would be taken care of, the truck "wouldn't give us problems for years," they had "spent money making this vehicle amazing for us," and that we "should be grateful."[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] More than a month later we were told the truck was ready. The moment it pulled up, there was an obvious knocking noise coming from the engine. We questioned dealership staff before leaving and were told that was simply "how a 3500 sounds." Relying on those representations, we accepted delivery. Approximately 800 miles later, while towing our fifth-wheel RV through Oregon, the truck suffered major mechanical failure. Two independent repair facilities identified rod knock almost immediately without even opening the hood and were shocked we had made it that far towing a 15,000-pound RV. We later learned the truck contained a 2018 engine rather than the 2019 engine we believed we were purchasing, complicating repairs because ordered parts were incompatible and significantly reducing the truck's value. [[HIGHLIGHT]]For months I repeatedly requested Modern Classic Motors' final repair order documenting the work they performed before delivering the truck. They refused to provide it until I ultimately had to pretend to be a mechanic working on the truck.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Ironically, the repair order documented unresolved mechanical and safety concerns and stated the truck needed to return for additional repairs. More than $20,000 in additional repairs have since been approved, with additional known repairs still remaining nearly a year later. We were stranded for approximately eight months, have continued making loan and insurance payments on a truck we could not use, and have incurred towing, repair, transportation, diagnostic, and countless other expenses. Because the truck remained unusable, my wife's travel healthcare contract ended because we could not relocate, and I lost what would have been a life-changing employment opportunity. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Throughout this entire process we tried to resolve this professionally and privately. On one recorded phone call, owner Trish stated that "this never should have happened" and that her salesperson "never should have said what they said." At another point she told us she would help us in any way possible and make sure we didn't have to pay for these repairs. Unfortunately, neither promise came to fruition.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Modern Classic Motors knew exactly how this truck would be used before they sold it to us. They knew we had just purchased our fifth-wheel from them, knew we had sold our home, and knew this truck would be towing not only our RV, but our entire life. After nearly a year, we have formally served Modern Classic Motors with a settlement demand and are preparing to pursue litigation if a fair resolution cannot be reached. If you're considering purchasing a vehicle from Modern Classic Motors, our advice is simple: dont. But if you do, have every vehicle independently inspected before purchasing, request every repair record in writing, and never rely solely on verbal representations. Our family has paid an enormous financial and personal price for trusting what we were told. Based on our experience, we cannot recommend doing business with Modern Classic Motors. read more

Bought 2022 Ram Turbo Diesel for $50,000 cash. Wanted it to pull our new travel trailer. Within the week I had to replace all tires because they were all mis matched and crap. 2 weeks after we had to replace all 3 fuel filters for about $350. Now we are back in the shop after 2 other 1 month in the shop for a Turbo replacement X 2. Now, AGAIN my truck is actually going back to the DODGE DEALERShip to deal with a filter problem that lit up my check engine light. Now I may get it back.......? [[HIGHLIGHT]]So, NO I am not happy what so ever with sales team that sold me this truck.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I should not being to bring my truck into MCM every OTHER MONTH! RICHARD M HOWDEN read more

I bought a used car from here and they said that the car works great and that they inspected it in their own garage. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I bought this car as a fresh 20-year-old woman and during the buying process two grown men were pressuring me to buy and saying a bunch of meaningless jargon to confuse and stress me and they had me give them a 5-star review before I even left the lot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I asked them about a sound I was hearing and they assured me their in house mechanic took a look and it is spick and span, well about 3 months after my purchase the sound started progressively getting worse, I took it back to have them look at it and they said it seems to be the transmission but can't do anything about that unless I want a full replacement.(and quoted me about 6K-10K, which is more than half of what I paid to begin with) Long story short, this place sucks and I wouldn't recomend buying anything from them unless you want to get swindled. read more

Gabbie helped us find the truck we needed on top of all ot it her and the finance team worked well on getting the numbers down to where we were comfortable. we have always came to modern classic and we will continue to keep coming here. read more

Back in 2012 I was shopping for a 2012 NIssan Murano but figured I could save money getting a used 2011 instead but they wanted to charge me the exact same price as the new one so I walked out and eventually bought my 2012 brand new from a Nissan Dealership in Utah with the exact model, features, black cloth interior and merlot red exterior color I wanted! The only positive thing I can say about Modern C.M. is that they do offer a car search program that most dealers don't offer at all but from what other reviewers have stated, it would be a good idea to take the vehicle you're considering to buy to a trusted mechanic to look it over before you go through with the purchase! read more

Upon going to pick up my Durango, today, I was told that the radiator needed to be fixed and this was the day of acquirement. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I bam unable to make a planned trip that was necessary as this information was not given to me until I had been dropped off at the dealership.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have claimed that there is no loaner car available in the meantime. As everyone in the car business knows, this is poppycock. Bless their hearts. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM. read more

First time buying a car; salesman took my down payment over the phone and didn't reveal the APR even though I asked before giving the down payment. Only said it was low considering my credit of 730, but it was really almost 20%. Salesman was eager to get rid of this car that he came to my job (1 hour away from the dealership) and drove me there. I told him I could go next week but he used pressure tactics to make it urgent to go. Finance manager had me sign paperwork electronically. On the 6th page was the APR but it was titled something different. Again this is my first time buying a car and I was searching for the words APR which were not there. I walk out with a car and I have a very bad sense of smell. Relative said it smelt burnt. One month later all the oil is spilled under the car. Dip stick had ZERO OIL. Costed me close to $1000 to repair. They never told me it was leaking oil over the engine. Do not give these people your hard earned money. I'm currently seeking legal advice so these scumbags don't mess with other people's lives. Go somewhere else for a car!!!! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]This dealership has been a big let down.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]They truly do not care about the people they do business with[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and they have the worst service center I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you want to be treated well after the purchase, you should buy a car somewhere else.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Typical used car people with low business morals. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I regret doing business here.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

This is the second car I have purchased from MCM . Gary was so helpful and patient. I have never had a better experience with a sales person. High recommend. read more

They sold me a Jeep Grand Cherokee. 150000 mile . I drove it for a year and a half at a 179000 the cam bears in the Hemi V8 went out. Couldn't get a warranty at the time no one would cover it. $8000 to replace the engine. read more

I purchased my car through them. Not even a week after purchasing my car it had a check engine light come on. It was my turbo. I was told to bring it in. When I did they were in no hurry to work on my car, they said they changed the turbo. A couple of weeks later the check engine light came on again. Once more for the turbo. I took my car to them five times for this issue, even though they claimed to fix it, they never did. Last week I had a catastrophic failure in my car, oil shot everywhere. The reason was yep the turbo!!! Now I am having to pay for a massive repair because these guys didn't do their job. Stay away from this dealership. read more

Went in to trade my car for a cheaper vehicle. At first they were nice and I filled out a credit app. Which means I was pretty committed to getting a vehicle from them. The plan was to look at few vehicles and get an offer on my trade. After filling out the credit app I test drove 1 vehicle. When I got back, they immediately kept asking what it was going to take for me to take that car home today. They didnt offer for me to test drive any other cars (like the original plan). After i told them 3 times i wasnt taking that vehicle home until i test drove some more cars, did some research and got an offer for my trade, they walked me out the door and I was left with no plan. I felt like they just wanted a sale right then and there instead of helping me find a good vehicle. Would not recommend them to anyone read more

Avoid these clowns like the plague. Brian sold a vehicle I was flying out to buy out from under me without even a phone call. What a joke. Buy from someone else and do yourself a favor. No wonder they have a 2 star review on here. read more

very shit dealership only recommend if you want to throw away money, shitty service, dumbass mechanics that won't check an oil level. List goes on but avoid at all cost this place is a scam ripoff business read more

Terrible. I purchased a vehicle outright from this place. They signed over the previous title, previous owner, not the current title. Elementary error from so called professionals. Went to DMV and couldn't title/register vehicle because of this. Lucky for me, lovely lady at DMV got on the phone with Custom and demanded they bring the correct title. The sales process was ridiculously disorganized and unhelpful. I told the salesman that sold the vehicle that it was the most disorganized auto sale, by far, I've ever been a part of. Avoid this shop. read more

Cassidy was the absolute best! She was super friendly and didn't pressure us into anything. She was very knowledgeable about the car we wanted and very patient with our needs! I would definitely recommend Cassidy and Modern Classic Motors for going above and beyond our expectations and getting us a great car! Thanks and we will be back when we are ready to buy our next vehicle read more

This was my first stop in looking for a reliable and clean vehicle for my child. I was shown a Subaru that they had just received and wasn't on their website yet. Immediately impressed, but I wasn't optimistic it would be in my budget. They made the car plus a warranty work under what I expected, so it's nice to know my kid won't be stuck with a huge repair bill if something were to happen. read more

I've had my vehicle I purchased there for over 4 years without any issues! I recently had an issue with my engine fan, but the warranty I got covered it with no hassle. Thanks! read more

If I could rate no stars that would be generous. I have held off writing a review for a long time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I should've been worried from the get go being asked to write a review while actively working with a salesman hadn't even closed a deal yet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Anyways ended up financing a 2015 Chevy equinox LT. credit wasn't fantastic by any means did have to put about $2000 down. Vehicle worked great for about a year had MCM mechanics do my oil changes since they offered gap on the vehicle that covered all my oil changes. First major issue vehicle dies on me engine sputtering. rear main seal failure. Luckily my power train still had a warranty. Same day I take it home less than 3 miles engine light comes for what they diagnose as an o2 sensor issue so about 2 more o2 sensor fixes I'm driving to work and once again I lose all my oil to a rear main seal failure not even a whole 6 months later. I take it back to the service center they tell me the rear main seal is leaking again plus my timing chain is loose. Service advisor calls me and tells me that it would be cheaper to put in a used engine with 77k miles on it and wants me to pay 7000 not willing to work on price. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I decided it was time to give up on the vehicle and see what the dealership could do for me and sales manager won't even come talk to me and the salesman wants to try to push me into a 3rd car loan but they won't take back the lemon they clearly sold me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would suggest take your money and head down to a dealership who has your best interest in mind because mcm has no interest in fixing their problems. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Trish actually had the audacity to call me for a week I finally decided to try and work with her left my number with the call service and she never attempted to call me back[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] so [[HIGHLIGHT]]if you hear the ad about having the most fun buying a car look elsewhere because the only person having fun is having it at your expense.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

DO NOT BUY FROM HERE. This place is a joke. They sold me a car with a messed up transmission. Will be $3000 to fix. They ignored to share the fact that my automatic car has a manual transmission, the dry clutch is going out. Then when we took it in to get looked at they said it would take $100 an hour to look at but only take an hour. They have had my car for a week. I tried to get in contact with them, first they didn't answer, then i was on hold forever, then they said they would call me back and I have heard nothing. I will do more investigating from now on, I learned they have a huge lawsuit against them for this exact reason. this place needs shut down. read more

Just purchased a 2018 Ford Edge Titanium from Gary at Modern Classic Motors. He was very helpful and didn't use any pressure tactics. He let ME choose the car and once I was pretty sure that that was the car I wanted, only then did he start helping me get the paperwork going. They provided proof from CARFAX that the car had not been in any previous accidents. I'm sure that the other sales people are just as helpful but if you go there, ask for Gary. :) read more

After leaving a negative Google review I was asked to call mgmt. They left me hold......bottomline, don't buy from them!

HORRIBLE SERVICE!! After purchase, if your car breaks down a month after purchase, nobody takes responsibility and they pawn you off to someone else. Second car I buy from them. First time was great, that's why I went back, and it haa been a terrible experience. One month after I got the car, the check engine light came on, I messaged the salesman to tell him, he told me to contact service dept but they had closed early so I called Monday. They tried telling me that it was over the 30 days from date of purchase (which it wasn't) The fuel pump went out, they billed it to the warranty and billed me the rest. They told me it'd be ready by a certain day, I called on the day they told me and they said the part hadn't even come in yet. No call from then to inform me on the situation. HORRIBLE SERVICE!!! read more

Service Department: Customer Service Writers Alex and John were both extremely professional, helpful and courteous. My vehicle was in and out in a very short time and the part required was hunted down and installed. I am very pleased with the service provided and will definitely return when my vehicle needs attention. read more

Chandler Bobbitt was very kind. He was willing to help us with whatever. He has a great sense of humor. I highly recommend using Chandler as your sales person! read more

my experience with Chandler Bobbitt was great. He was very quick and efficient and sold us the car that we needed. We truly appreciate all that he has done and helping us with our purchase. read more

I bought two cars from modern classic motors. That should tell you my impression of the dealership. They have treated me well from the beginning, through the length of my time owning the Toyota Avalon, and now I have bought a Ford Explorer. It's a more complex car then the Toyota Avalon. So it has more things that have to be addressed. It also had more mileage on it than the Toyota. Nonetheless they have dealt well with me and I appreciate their customer satisfaction attitude. read more

Modern Classic Motors - Auto Repair Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

This dealership sold me a 2018 worst experience ever. It seems it did not have a safety check before they sold us the car. Bought it in the day time. After driving after dark the right headlight was not working. After getting out to check it out noticed the light bulb was missing! That was a start of many problems with this car. I would not recommend this dealership to anyone!!!!!! read more

I purchased a car from them a year ago and it had nothing but problems since I drove it off of the lot all because they don't do safety checks and do not do quality repairs. They are all about short cuts and saving money and believe the person buying the car causes the issues. I test drove a car during the day asked the car salesman (the Owners son) if there were any know issues. He told us if there were any problems within the first 30 days they would be glad to fix them including getting me a spare key. The next day I drove it home and there were no headlights in the vehicle. So I took it back and could not fix it right away because they had to order the headlights. I then said there is no horn. No jack and no spare tire. They told me they had to send it to lia to get the horn fixed. Kia did a safety check and found the right axle was damaged and needed replaced. This is only 2 days of owning the vehicle. Then it got back to modern classic motors and they said they would not replace the axle and of course the bosses son conviently ignored the calls I believed the horn was working and the fixed the axle at a discounted price. I though things were good. It still made the noise so i took it back and they had put the wrong size tires on the car so the corrected that issue. Then there were no bulbs in the high beams so they corrected that. Now a year later and I found out they rigged the horn to work so I would be happy not correcting the real issue they had put on an after market horn assembly and now 2500 later I have to pay since they knew the problem and didn't want to fix the issue when I asked them to read more

Went by to buy my first car. everything was quick and fairly easy. Chandler helped me find the best car for the budget I had. He was also able to work with my tight schedule and help me get all my paperwork sorted. Definitely recommen. read more

I bought a vehicle from modern Classic Motors about 2 months ago, I noticed some mechanical problems immediately and put it on a scanner for it to say the transmission was going out. Also, they never paid off my trade in completely when that was part of the deal. I would NEVER go back to modern classic motors, and I hope no one else does so they do not have to go through the pain and suffering that I had to go through with the loss of money and time. DO NOT BUY A VEHICLE AT MODERN CLASSIC MOTORS! read more

DO NOT RECOMMEND!! DO NOT GO HERE. I have never written a review for any business before, but my experience at this dealership was the absolute worst thing I've ever had. If I could rate this as a zero I would. Therefore, I wanted to make it known to anyone who has ever thought about coming here to never bother looking at any car within this dealership. I honestly believe you would save thousands of dollars at any other dealership. Largely due to the unreliable cars they sell failing on individuals. DO YOURSELF AND MYSELF A FAVOR DON'T GO THERE!!! PLEASE avoid this place! read more

Beware of this dealership. I bought a great car from them, but when it was delivered the following day I discovered it only had one smart key. Further, I discovered that many of the great personalized features could not be programed or accessed without the presence of 2 admin key. I contacted them about this but they did not return calls to me or answer a letter. I even offered to pay their cost to have a new key programed (expensive), but, nothing. I would not recommend dealing with this business. read more

If I could rate this company zero stars I would. I am not one to write negative reviews as I like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and opportunity to make things right when they have wronged me. I am a single mother that has been working on building my credit to purchase a home. When I went to modern classic motors I had a very clear and specific conversation with my salesman regarding my need for no more than one credit inquiry. Chandler, the young eager sales rep assured me that my credit would not be ran more than once and that integrity was at the core of how they do business at the dealership. He assured me that he believes in taking care of people as though they were family so I trusted him and proceeded with the purchase of my vehicle. To my dismay the dealership ravished my credit with ten credit checks, dropping my score from 750 to 650. Three months later I am still at a significant loss. I have contacted Experian as well as every credit bureau in an attempt to resolve this issue and massive fail play and betrayal of trust. The bureaus all informed me that there is nothing they can do and my best bet is to address it with the dealership directly. I did just this and called the Business manager Brian Barnholt. Brian spoke with me briefly last week and said that he would see what he could do, a week later I've called and left several messages with no returned call. I then emailed only to receive a brief email saying he can't do anything about the checks and to reach out to the sales rep (whom I've already expressed I do not trust) concerning the massive service issues I have with my vehicle including a fuel leak, tires that exploded within the first two weeks of purchase and the front end of the car dropping to the ground... to say I'm disappointed and deceived is an understatement. Be warned, not everyone who claims they value integrity even knows the meaning of the word. Do not trust this business, go anywhere but here. read more

See all

unprofessional and SHADY. do not go. blew up my phone the second i left the lot and ran my credit twice without transparency.

I could write an essay on everything that was shady, behind the back, and switching off hand hand salesman dirty about this place.... Unlike modern classic motors I will save your of time and only hit on the worst of it. THE LIES!!!!! so I found a five speed manual transmission, 5.9 hemi, and working out of a truck as well as hauling water, it was the truck that I needed. Bent over backwards to make a deal with these people, already had my own money, and from the very jump every single thing they told me was a lie. The condition that I bought the thing, the oil pressure gauge didn't work, I wanted it fixed as well as the basic inspection they give. they came in said yeah we figured it out it was just a sensor, told me they fixed it, week or two later I get a call and they say hey your oil pressure gauge and your switch is here. I said well now I think you have a mistake they told me that was fixed already. Checked out and they are just rigged it to appear to function, that was a lie. next, they told me that they did my brakes and gave me an oil change, because it was a recent trade-in and it was part of what they do, that again was a lie. Took it somewhere else to have the stuff checked, there was an old out of date date in sharpie on the oil filter. They are liars. My brakes were never done, I had to bring it back and make them do it, which they tried to charge me for. That again was a lie. Then they finally got me in to fix oil pressure switch, I also asked for an alignment and tune up.... they said that even though Spark plugs We're old and wires were no good, that they'd given me a tuneup. obviously, I was totally wrong in thinking that a tuneup consists of spark plugs, wires, and air filter. That that's not what a tuneup is at all. Once again a lie. then of course I never got the alignment, I never got the tuneup, I never got the oil change, or anything else that they said they would do because it was a recent trade in. even told me that they couldn't give me dealer tags because of some made up a reason, when I found out that they couldn't give me dealer tags because it was still registered to the guy who traded it in just a couple of days before I got the truck. this place is as dirty and full of shit as it gets, beware and stay away. The shit you hear on the radio about them being voted best. I'd say best in spewing crap! read more

Kamren in sales was great, we would work with him again. We love our new truck. Very nice experience overall. We also worked with Derek in financing, he was very easy to work with. read more

I recently purchased my new (used) vehicle from MCM and I love my new ride. The staff was nice and helpful without being too pushy, but it is a car dealership, so some sales tricks are to be expected. The vehicle is great. It had very low miles, a lot of extras and looked brand new. I have had no problems with it at all and have no qualms about my purchase. I have only a couple comments that I feel others should know so they don't get tripped up themselves... (1) One of my biggest issues that I voiced repeatedly to my sales person and to the finance manager was that I wanted to be sure once I filled out the application that my credit report was only going to be run once, as I did NOT want a bunch of "hard inquiries" on my credit report because I was also looking to buy a house in the near future. I was assured repeatedly that the process only included the dealership running my credit once and then submitting it to the banks/lenders for their review and approval for the loan. That was not the case. Not only did my credit report get hit more than once, but a total of 8 times from different potential lenders!! Of course I didn't know about this until about a week after the purchase. That in itself really did piss me off. Be honest with your customers! Honesty is the best policy and is what keeps them coming back. (2) The sales woman I dealt with didn't know nearly as much about the vehicle as she lead me to believe. Some of it was no big deal, but the cincher for me was I asked her if the vehicle needed premium gas. She flat out said no... Again, it wasn't until a couple days later when I went to fill up my first tank of gas that I discovered that it, indeed DID take premium. Talk about a difference in the price of gas... literally and figuratively speaking. So, do I feel burned on the purchase? No. I like the vehicle, the price was fair and the staff has been nothing but nice to me during the purchase, and since, to include working with their service department for my first oil change. The give good customer service and make you feel "at home". Do I feel that there was misinformation and manipulation in the works to "make the sale"? Yes. But, unfortunately that is part of the business of used car sales. Would I return to purchase from them again. Yes... but I would arm myself with my own research and information on the vehicle and would call them out on the only one inquiry on my credit. All in all, the purchase was solid, the staff worked to get my business and has followed up several times since to check how the vehicle is doing and sent coupons for discounted services. Educate yourself in advance on what you're purchasing and all will be good. They haven't been in business for 20-something years by giving bad customer service. read more
