Fortunately, we spotted a great Jeep online at Motorcars Ltd. in Mt. Vernon. They were a breath of fresh air - no hard sell, no misrepresentation, just an honest and pleasant experience in a very nice showroom. Mark was our guy who, from the first phone call to the end of the sales transaction, was friendly, efficient and catered to our needs. We love our Jeep and are very satisfied with the fair price and ease of wrapping up the deal.

From day one consultation to final payment deposited in my account, Jay exceeded my expectations in regards to communication, marketing suggestions, detailing, photography, and responses during the auction.

I have been coming to this dealership for 20+ years & have bought/leased over five vehicles from…read morethem. They've always treated me courteously, respectfully and have been fair in the dealings for purchases & service. Over the years Joe & Greg in sales have helped me, with a special shoutout to Greg for pleasant, friendly & engaging personality. The team in the service department is helpful & responsive too. They greet me & know me by name when I call or show up and are accurate in their estimates of time for repairs, as well as the cost. They've given me local rides when needed, as well as loaner vehicles when repairs have taken longer. Plus, the nice, clean waiting areas are pleasant. Through the years James, Frank, Luis & Bob have given excellent customer service & now Jonathan is doing the same. I highly recommend this business.

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.

After being called a liar about my key fob to my new car not having an actual key, they finally…read moreagreed to get me a key for my fob. Then guess what, they gave me the wrong key, was told id get a correct key soon. Weeks went by. Nothing. Key man ghosted us. I call auto track, talked to Jeff, he said "all you like to do is argue." No, if that was the case i would have been calling you way before 2 plus weeks had lapsed. I called once, you argued and said you "finished the job" and for me to "just put the key on a key ring, it doesn't need to go IN the key fob." You promised me a working key that FITS in my key fob. And said many times "its only $50...Its not that big of a deal." Then why are you making it a big deal?? Its just a $50 key fob! Stay away from this business. This was only 10% of my really bad experience here. I saw the reviews and was like, its cant be THAT bad.... Its that bad. Lol he also wont stop texting means calling me now that he wants to SUDDENLY fix my key issue after i said i dont want to wreck his google ratings. Nope. Sorry bud i gave you a chance. He also said "its okay, ill report it to google and say you're lying about everything." Lolol then why are all the other bad reviews still up??? Read my past google reviews. Im not a karen. I usually leave very positive reviews for local businesses. Not this one. This was shockingly bad. Jeff also had blood dripping from his knuckles and face for most of our interactions. Dont know what that was about... One more thing, Jeff stop saying you "discounted the car for me." The car was listed at 11k before i came it. I bought it for 11k. You didnt discount anything "For me."

I used their "Contact Us" form to ask for some more info to be emailed to me. I received a canned…read moree-mail that said they would get back to me but if i had questions, to call. The I get a one line message from "Joe" to give them my phone number so they can text me the info. But Its a PIA on my Flip Phone so I responded "Please just e-mail it". No response. So i called the number on the e-mail and got a recording that I was going to be recorded, then two rings, then disconnected. I tried again and the same thing. So I called the number on the website and got Jerry who explained that a) Joe was at the other shop and does not e-mail, and 2) They are having trouble with some middleman "contact manager" provider. He was nice and offered to go out and look at the car and try to e-mail me some info. Then "Mike" calls me and asks what i'd like to know. I explained that I had asked questions on the "Contact us" form but because you get no record of it - I could not remember exactly what I had asked - also having inquired about other cars at other dealerships. So I'd like it e-mailed when they get their e-mail fixed. Mike lit up, told me to stop wasting his time, called me a jackass and told me to F**k-off and hung up on me. Nice impression. Proceed at your own risk - Mike demonstrated the character and psychological balance of a small soap dish.

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.

The contract total was already written up, the paperwork was done and waiting for me. When a question came up, I made a call and the contract expert talked out a detail with the dealership, and that was settled in minutes. It was such a relief for me not to have to worry about them adding extra costs at the last minute. I think my trip to the dealership to buy my car took about under an hour! In and out - amazing!!
