Had a fantastic buying experience today at Rallye Auto Sales. Riley greeted me on the lot and…read morepromptly got the keys to the car I wanted to see. He was patient and let me do my thing looking the car over. All he did was answer any questions I had. The test drive was super easy, they just took my ID and got my phone number, handed me a dealer plate and keys and let me go. The whole experience was easy and low pressure. Doyle, the owner, is super nice and was extremely helpful and, in the end, we were able to make a deal on the car I wanted. In fact, everyone I dealt with was super nice, constantly offering me refreshments. They were even kind enough to change the oil on the car I bought before I left because they hadn't had a chance to do it since they had just got the car. That's integrity! They also gave me a cool dealer hoodie and a full tank of gas. The whole lot had many nice, quality used cars. If you're in the market, I definitely recommend them. Thanks Doyle, Riley, and the rest of the team, I really appreciate everything.

PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING A USED VEHICLE HERE…read more We traveled 3+ HRS to purchase a 2017 Toyota Tacoma after seeing positive reviews and a nice inventory selection. To be fair, Tommy and Tonya were both professional, responsive, and helpful throughout the process. Paperwork was smooth, everything was explained clearly, and there was no pressure to buy unnecessary add-ons or inflated packages. Unfortunately, what happened after the sale is the reason for this review. During the test drive, a few concerns were noticed: brakes not sounding or appearing right, one aftermarket light not working, and a few cosmetic issues. None were dealbreakers. We understood we were buying a used vehicle, not expecting perfection. However, when we asked normal buyer questions, the owner became dismissive. The moment we questioned the oil and asked for clarification, he abruptly began closing the hood, repeatedly said, "If you don't want it, that's fine," claimed there were plenty of other inquiries, and walked back inside. We had just driven 3+ HRS and were simply asking standard questions before spending nearly $30,000. Shortly after, he returned acting as if nothing happened. Despite that, we still moved forward. The night after purchase, we noticed a slight metallic clicking noise while driving. We assumed it might be normal brake wear or a minor used-car issue. The following day, while my husband was returning home from work, the noise became severe. The steering wheel was shaking badly, the truck was vibrating heavily, and it no longer felt safe to drive. He had to pull over immediately. When inspecting the wheel, three lug nuts on the front wheel were nearly off. This could have caused a catastrophic accident or serious injury. We paid out of pocket for roadside assistance. The third-party invoice states: - Left front wheel had come loose - Wheel removed and inspected - Other wheels torqued - Several lug nuts on other wheels moved during tightening - Bolt-on spacers present and recommended for removal as unsafe This means the issue was not limited to one wheel. During that same service, additional concerns were raised that the front brakes appeared improperly installed. We contacted the dealership immediately and requested a reasonable resolution or reimbursement for costs caused by this situation. Instead, the repeated response focused on returning the truck or transporting it back to their location. That missed the point entirely. This was never about not liking the truck. It was about being sold a vehicle with immediate safety-related issues involving wheels and brakes. We were not comfortable sending the truck back 3+ HRS after already experiencing these problems. We chose to handle inspections locally with people we trust. What is most upsetting is that the seriousness of the issue never seemed fully acknowledged. Used vehicles may have cosmetic flaws or normal wear. That is understandable. But wheels nearly coming loose, unsafe spacer concerns, and possible brake installation issues immediately after purchase go far beyond normal used-car expectations. We are now spending additional money, time, and stress correcting issues that should have been caught before sale. This review is not directed at Tommy or Tonya, who were both professional and helpful. This review is about accountability and safety. If you buy a used vehicle here, especially one with aftermarket modifications, bring an independent mechanic or trusted third party to inspect it first. We were fortunate this was caught in time. Another buyer may not be as lucky.

We parked in front of the showroom and assumed that the parts department would be around the side - but which side? We went to the right, which was the wrong move. A salesperson and two other representatives immediately came out of the showroom to ask if we needed help finding something - the approach made it feel like we were up to no good and they were checking up on us. They pointed us in the right direction, which is through the showroom. It turns out that there is a side entrance - from the left side. The parts guy was helpful, but he wanted to charge a huge markup on a roll of tape... $82! For reference, this can be found online from other Honda dealers for about $45. He suggested that the high price was fair because we can have it today! We managed to talk him down to $65, which is still high, but we got it that day. On the way out, one of the sales guys complimented our old Model S, which was appreciated. Thoughts overall - the employee to customer ratio was probably 5:1, the initial interaction was a turnoff, and the price gouging isn't going to win any repeat business. On the positive side, and to be totally fair, the dealership was clean, the cars on the lot were staged well and clean, the parts department had some neat swag, the restrooms were nice and the location is convenient.

When we pointed out a safety issue, he downplayed it. We made an offer, which included the dealership fixing the safety issue, and it was rejected. No problem. I did appreciate that Kai did not waste our time. Several days later, I reached out to the dealership via Cars.com and made a higher offer, once again asking for the safety issue to be addressed. That was on Thursday, October 30. I followed up 24 and 48 hours later, with sales assistant, Megan, who thanked me for my patience and told me that the sales team was "actively reviewing" my offer. I can't help but wonder if the sales team consists of slugs. Oh, well. They lost a current and future customer. Moving right along . . .

Our sales representative was Travis. He was very personable and knowledgeable. He allowed us to take the vehicle for over an hour for a test drive and kick the tires to see if this Jeep was the one for us. We fell in love with it and when we decided to buy, Travis introduced us to Mark Summer who explained the purchase paperwork to us. During the whole process there was no pressure to buy, everyone was incredibly professional. They respected any direction we wanted to go; they really made it fun!

I had it all the way up to Skagit to buy a brand new Forester. Mr Zach treated us very well. Let us…read moreroll out on a 30-minute drive to make sure the Forester was what we really wanted. The paperwork was a lot and I mean a lot. But I don't think you can get away from that these days. I did end up buying the extended warranty just because of all the electronics for a little over like $4,000 which is again a lot to add on top of the price of the vehicle. I just cannot believe a car cost $50,000 these days. That's not the dealer's fault. I do think the detail job could have been a little better so hopefully when I come back for my first oil change and the installation of my tow hitch I could maybe get another little detail situation because there's a lot of streaking and such on the car. But overall very happy with the process and the people that I don't with.

Ever since the buyout, Rairdon's have looked for ways to get out of continuing the lifetime oil change service as per new vehicle purchase agreement with Jerry Smith.

They have lost my business! I will not purchase a new vehicle from here! It's all about customer service to me as a previous owner of a car repair shop.

I've learned since buying it that these cars are known for lots of expensive issues, they are crap cars and the dealership had to have known that. I was desperate the day I walked in there looking for a car because my Susuki was broke down and I needed transportation, they even offered to fix a broken piece on drivers seat as insensitive to buy it and they Never fixed it. I called for 4 months and was always told the part never came in. I paid wayyy too much for this Chevy Trax and can't even trade it in. I'm very disappointed. Do not recommend using them. my mistake for not getting a dealership warranty but if your looking for transparency and honesty avoid this dealership for used cars anyway.

My experience at Cortez Auto Center was extremely disappointing…read more I spoke with Chanel several times before making the trip from Seattle to Burlington by bus specifically to work with her. When I arrived, she wasn't there and never showed up that day. I ended up working with Janny. While polite on the surface, he spent much of the time on his phone. After test driving one vehicle, I realized the seats were not adjustable, and found another with upgraded seats. When pricing was presented, he had added about $3,000 in "upgrades" (windshield protection, etc.) on a 2024 vehicle and presented them as if they were standard. I had to firmly decline multiple times. There was also a discrepancy between the Blue Book value I found and the one they showed me. I was told theirs was "subscription level" and more accurate than the public version. I still suspect I overpaid, but by that point I felt worn down. During negotiations, I worked with Cody. The numbers were inconsistent and I felt pressured, but still elected to go forward with my purchase. When I said I was leaving to get food and contact my bank, he pushed me to stay, when I insisted I needed to go eat, he suggested I go get two beers -- which felt completely inappropriate during a financial negotiation. After I returned, while finalizing paperwork, I met with a different employee who was openly rude, repeatedly making negative comments about Seattle and Washington, despite my repeating to him that I loved SEATTLE. He then presented paperwork stating the vehicle had no remaining warranty, despite the salesman earlier sharing Carfax showing manufacturer warranty coverage. When I questioned it, he raised his voice and told me I could leave if I didn't like it. I stepped away and told Cody that the other employee was treating me disrespectfully. I received a brief quote sorry to hear that" as a response. Then called the dealer and confirmed directly that the warranty was still active -- yet I was required to sign paperwork stating otherwise. This was followed by an effort to get me to purchase an extended warranty for several thousand dollars, which I understand is standard, and I just sat through it. After purchasing the car, I discovered there was no backup key inside the fob case. I've followed up multiple times and have received no response. I filed a BBB complaint a month ago which was closed with no response from Cortes. I have one fob with no backup key at this point. I will have to go to the Mazda dealer service department and pay quite a bit to get this remedied. Overall, my experience felt high-pressure, misleading, and unprofessional. I was referred by BECU and had high hopes but at this point will be reporting back to them my concerns. I would strongly encourage others to proceed with caution.
