My wife has been looking and dreaming about owning an EV Bolt for well over a couple years. One…read morenight we were on a date night and I was like let's go test drive one on a whim. She got excited. We looked up some on carguru and Platt came up in our search. Their place was few miles down the road so we went down thinking we'd be turned away. Peter was more than happy to accommodate. He let us test drive a couple different models including a Bolt. It really opened our eyes to these vehicles. He talked with us after the test drives and was happy to answer questions, give advice and info on all types of EV's (this was after close mind you). We weren't quite ready to purchase a car yet so we left. Peter's non-pushy attitude and kindness stuck with us. About two months later we decided to pull the trigger. I couldn't think of any other place to look for an EV. We had a list of options we wanted and Peter accommodated us and pulled a bunch of cars from their list. We test drove a couple AWD Nissan Aryia Engage+ e-4orce and really liked them. We went ahead and purchased one. It was a lease return with 15k miles. The EV was in great condition and the price was right. They were generous with our trade in and all the paperwork was very swift. I think we were out of there in under 2 hours. We highly recommend Platt Auto if interested in an used EV. You wont be sorry. They have a lot of different models to choose from.

These folks are worth buying from! I've bought both of my used EVs at great prices. And anytime I…read morehad a concern or question they were quick to address it and do what they could to help. Since I live in Portland where businesses tend to be sharky, I can't say how much I appreciate Platt's down-to-earth approach. Mike was the latest person to go out of his way for me there. But the team members have all been awesome.

Suddenly the son of the owner stepped in and started treating me as someone not worth his time. And how the deal i had made with his dad wouldn't work and he was there to protect the buisness as his dad was getting old and not able to make good deals ! I then told him that i did not appreciate him disrespecting his dad like that or the way he was disrespecting me . I waited until his dad showed up and told him what a snot his kid was . Then i left, probably not ever going to return .

I do my own maintenance and have been for over 40yrs. While changing the oil at 29,757 miles the oil drain plug very hard to get out, not my first Rodeo! The drain plug was installed with an impact wrench and stripped. Called MAZDA OF GLADSTONE , Talked with the service manager and was told that is was not there fault because it had been more the 6-months since the had seen it. She was right, it had been exactly 4,855 miles. The only oil changes ever done were by them, 9 total visits documented by CARFAX. THERE mechanic was the one that caused the issue and I was told to go pound sand. I even ask just give me a new oil pan and I would do the job myself, mostly because I already don't trust there service department to do a simple oil change. There service department is incompetent. If you need an air or cabin filter you might be fine. If they screw up they will not honor there work and find a way to fault you, the owner! Just looked at my post. This is the first time I've ever felt compelled to do this. Not sure why it shows me from California but I'm actually from Vancouver Wa.

It was very close to the spec that we were looking for, and he invited us to come down from Vancouver (WA) to take a look.

After the paperwork was completed, we sat and had a nice chat with them about cars in general :)

How does an automobile service manager lose business in ten seconds?…read more It seems like Armstrong VW in Gladstone, OR is working really hard to do just that. Today they informed me that my repair was ready to go. And I asked them to provide an Uber for me to take me from my house to the facility so I can pick up my car. It's something they've done EVERY SINGLE TIME IN THE PAST. Now they're telling me, they'll only cover $15 toward the cost of the Uber, and everything else will go on my bill. They said it was a "management decision." Let me just add, this is going to be an expensive repair (over $1000). They did, in fact, charge me the extra $3 for the Uber and when I spoke to the service manager, he threw his arms up and said, this is a company decision. And it's the same at every Volkswagen dealership in the entire Portland area. So lesson number one, don't take your car to the dealer. But it seems to me that any service manager worth their salt would have said something to the effect of "oh, I'm so sorry that you don't like this new policy. Let me take off the $3 charge as a courtesy, as a way to maintain your continued business... Buehler?...Anyone?...Buehler?

I would strongly advise against buying a Hyundai from this dealership…read more Here's a rundown of my experience: 1. Pushed into a bad deal: I was pressured into buying a car with front-end damage. 2. Two sales people told me untruths about the car. "The car automatically comes with a 3 year maintenance plan from the manufacturer." I told him that the maintenance plan went away last year. Then he stated he has all his customers spend $4k to get all of their oil changes covered so they would be "Free"! "They have had the same motor in the palisade since 2020 and they actually found a way to up the horse power and torque for 2026." Not correct. They went from 3.8 liter to a 3.5 liter and the numbers went down, not up, in horse power and torque. 3.Text offer: I received a text offer of $7,000 off the MSRP with Costco pricing 4. In-person interaction: I went in to get the numbers all figured out, but they showed me $16,000 over the MSRP with various add-ons. 5. Inconsistent information: Every time I mentioned the number I was told over text, they said it was impossible to get to that number in person. 6. Promises of a better car: They kept promising me that they would get me the car I actually wanted to buy, but they all sold that day, so they could couldn't do a dealer trade. 7. Car I wanted is still for sale: The car I wanted is still available at the other dealership. When I pointed this out, they blamed someone else and never reached out to me again. 8. underestimated taxes and fees: They underestimated my taxes and fees on their offers so the out the door price looks cheaper, which resulted in a $600 difference from what I actually paid. It's important to be aware that they will often understate your taxes and fees to get you into financing.
