The owner is very caring and has a lot of family values. Easy to deal with and I would highly recommend. read more

AVOID THIS PLACE! Everyone buying a car should have the right to have a vehicle they may be purchasing inspected by a mechanic of their choice. Ride Auto wants a non-refundable $200 fee for them (not you) to take the car to their inspection site. This is the most ridiculous scam! These guys are not to be trusted. Take your business where transparency is conducted in good faith. SCAMMERS!!!!!! Don't waste your time here... ZERO STARS!!! read more

Yesterday we went to Ride Auto Sales to test drive a Nissan and I asked if they have a mechanic go through the cars before they sell them and he said "well it drives and there are no engine lights on, so it's good", Took it for a test drive and the light came on....., needless to say we couldn't get out of there fast enough. There is something to be said for legit bigger dealerships! These guys don't check their cars, or know nothing about them. We could have bought a car just to have the engine drop out a mile away! Do not buy from these guys....they are snakey and the cars aren't even looked at. read more

DO NOT BUY CARS AT THIS SHOP! I bought a Subaru Impreza 2018, drove good and not apparent issue. Next day all the engine lights and other light come on in the dash. took to a Subaru place and they amount of work that needed to be done on the car is about 8k. Rotters were bad, engine oil leak, bad alignment, needed tires, and the list goes on. This Auto Sale is scamming people left and right. NEVER BUY A CAR FROM THEM!!!! NUNCA COMPREN UN CARRO DE ELLOS!!! Nunca!!!! read more

ZERO STARS. My 18yr old son needed a reliable car to get back and forth from college in WI. He found a 2010 Ford Focus at Ride Auto Sales and liked it. I do light car repair so I came along to test drive it. It was clear immediately that it wasn't braking as kt should. The new calipers on the front and rusted drums on the back end told me they only did half the job to get it off of their lot. I asked Marco to reduce the cost by $200 for the rear brakes that clearly needed to be done as it was a safety issue. Marco said he couldn't reduce the price at all. My son bought it "as-is" and we drove it home to do the rear brakes but we couldn't get the drums off. We took it to a shop where they used a drum puller and the rear brakes were completely gone, only the new front calipers were stopping this car. After spending over $500 on parts and labor, I emailed Ride Auto Sales for them to refund part of the cost of this car because Fraud Exception and Safety Defects are serious matters under MN Commerce Laws. They've been sued by other "customers" but beware, my son wasn't experienced enough to realize the brakes were only operating at 50% and I had to get it safe before he drove back to school. If you do not have someone inspect the car you wish to purchase, don't buy from here. Others have said they enforce a $200 non-refundable deposit to have someone inspect their cars. Avoid this scammy flipper of cars and go elsewhere. read more

Terrible place never buy a vehicle from here ever! the truck they claimed was a good truck had a misfire after 2 days of owning it. right after that the truck had a code for (check fill inlet). after going to them and asking if they would help me fix it they said that I bought it as is. terrible place to work with I would never buy a vehicle from here and i hope someone reading this takes this as a sign to stay away. read more

Would not recommend (unless you want a project vehicle that'll cost you) Do NOT let the cute cats and friendly staff fool you. I purchased a car from them 6 months ago as of now I'm looking at close to $10,000 worth of mechanical repairs the first repair happened 2 weeks into owning the car. When i confronted them about it, it didn't seem like they cared at all about the situation. Oh and their warranty won't cover nearly what you would expect or even begin to hope for. If I could give zero stars for the experience I've had with this car I would. read more

I purchased a 2016 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport with under 120,000 miles on it...in June 2024..... less than 5 months later, and 1500 miles, it didn't start. I had to replace the entire motor at my cost. Had to take out a second loan to get it fixed. I now have a 10 year old vehicle and owe $33,000. Called the dealer, he said he would get back to me...... they NEVER bothered calling back. read more

I would not recommend ride auto sales and fiance in Burnsville, MN. Extremely disappointed in their lack of attention to detail and selling a vehicle which in fact needed thousands of dollars in repairs. Do not buy from them. Stay away. read more

Do not recommend. Seem like con artists. Never called me back and also tried to sell me a truck that they didn't even own.

Ride Auto represented the car I bought as having a "clean" title. Went to look at the car, made note of the amateur job of trying to hide quite a bit of rust, I was okay with it. Paid a deposit on a Saturday, but, could not withdraw cash from bank as it was closed. Returned later in the week to pick up the car, in a hurry, could not understand why they were airing up all the tires. When I got home, I noticed a dent that was not there when I first inspected the car and paid a deposit. Called them - they said they have photos of the car and the auction house's condition report that noted the dent. The interior was detailed, rust spray painted over, but a flat tire was not fixed prior to sale. Spend hundreds to detail the interior but don't fix a simple flat? The next day I went to a tire shop to fix the flat since I had to pull a boat 400 miles the next day (told Ride Auto pulling a boat was the only reason I needed this SUV). On the way to the tire shop, started to set up the systems, found that the blindside indicators had both been turned off. At the tire shop, I learned the tire did not have a leak - THREE rims were cracked!!! They did not have rims in stock to fit the tires presently on the car - I had to leave in 12 hours to pull a boat and it was 5pm on a Friday. Only rims they had were a different diameter size so I had to buy new tires as well --- $2,000!!! They refused to provide the photos they said they have of the dent or the auction house's condition report. Reporting to the MN Attorney General Office, MN Dept of Commerce and the BBB - they are TOTAL SCAMMERS!!! read more

Had a great experience and highly recommend them. Emailed them regarding a vehicle I had seen online and setup a time that worked best for me. They were very friendly and even had office cats. thanks again . read more

Negative what you like. Does not like questions asked about vehicles. If you ask heat works you are not the kind of customer they like!!! Would not buy a scooter from them let alone a classic. Stay as far away as you can read more

Stopped in today at 4:20 and they wouldn't let me test drive a vehicle unless I had an appointment or for sure I wanted to purchase the vehicle his excuse was we close soon 5:00 that's 40 minutes ridiculous don't go here read more

I bought a Ford escape from here less the 45 days ago, 2 days after having it I took it to get it's oil change at valvoline and they told me there was a pretty bad oil leak so I told them I would take it to my mechanic to look at it in a few days well a day later the check engine light came on so that night I dropped it off with my mechanic he couldn't get to it right away but did the following Monday he then proceed to tell me that there was something wrong with the camshaft and there was something leaking out of the head gasket and I should bring it back but then Richard told me to bring it to crosstown auto who then found multiple things wrong but Richard ignored that and said he took it to ford and ford found nothing wrong with it well I took his word on that after sitting and thinking about it for a few days but then when I did take it out the check engine light came back on and then after a day of driving it started to over heat and not want to move and I ended up stranded and had to wait for someone to come and get me and the car and bring us both back home. This place is a joke and when they say they will help u if something is majorly wrong with the car u buy don't believe a word. I didn't buy the extra coverage but it happened before the 7 day period was up and multiple times he was told something was wrong and now im stuck with a car I can't afford to fix and have nothing to drive because I don't want a repo on my credit. DO NOT GO HERE!!!! read more

Bought a 1955 Bel-Air from them on-line. There ad said it was in great condition and did not disclose ANY issues with the car. Even did a video walk around and again did not point out any issues. When the car arrived it had so many issues it's even hard to list them all. Glove Box was missing, Gas Gage not working, Blinkers not working, Horn not working, Dome Light not working, Power brakes not working, Engine had no power and leaked about 1 quart of oil every 3 days. I had to touch up the paint on almost all panels and then color sand and buff the entire car. Chrome trim was dinted on 5 pieces. Had to replace carb, distributor, radiator, fans, chrome trim, door handles rusted (replaced), mirror rusted (replaced). Radio did not work (replaced) I called them when the car arrived and told them a list of issues and there reply was "What did you expect a $70,000 car" I said no but I paid $40,000 and I expected a very nice car. RUN AWAY FAST! read more

We are extremely disappointed... We purchased a CRV here which had a clean carfax. It drove fine for the test drive. The sales staff were cool and friendly. They had cats which was awesome and I wanted to give glowing reviews for that! We put the car seat in and drove it, the check engine light and traction control light came on. My wife, baby, and I were excited for a safe and reliable car. We were left stranded without a vehicle. They wouldn't help us at all because of no warranty... Our local auto shop is going to replace the ATC and Timing Chain.. There is also a week+ wait till they have availabilities. So we are going to still be out a car..I wanted to like them, but now I'm wondering if they do appointments so they can clear engine codes/ lights. Such a bummer. Hopefully after these thousands of dollars + rental the car runs okay.... DO NOT GO HERE! read more

RUN AWAY FAST I was in the market for a quality car to get me from A to B. Found one I liked here and took it for a test drive. On the test drive the engine made sounds that I can't describe and they said that it was because it hadn't been driven in a while. TOTAL BS. Took it to my mechanic and was told the transmission would need to be replaced within the next 3,000-5,000 miles. read more

I appreciate the way ride auto treats there customers, also my first purchase here was a 03 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT, and I have to say it was a beautiful ride! Thanks Ride Auto! read more

I do recommend visiting this place. They are so rude and unprofessional it will take your breath away. You can expect to be ignored until you approach a "salesman". I was able to wander around the lot for about a half hour unmolested. If you are interested in a vehicle be ready to sell yourself. You will be asked, and have to convince them, that you are indeed ready to purchase a car TODAY. I had to argue with them before they would allow me to go for a test ride. They apparently will not abide looks Lou's. They will grudgingly ride along. We had the deluxe package, 2 grumpy salesmen in the back seat. They will tell you exactly where to go, instructing you on every turn. Once back from the test drive be prepared to make good on your commitment to purchase TODAY. This is like no other experience I have encounter as a customer. I was so taken aback i left in a daze. Did that really happen? Are they a front for some illegal activity? How are they in business? You have to experience this for yourself. There was lot more to my experience and it makes for an entertaining story. It will make you appreciate any other car dealer. My only advise is LOOK BUT DO NOT BUY these guys are the worst. read more

Avoid this dealer! I was considering a pickup truck at this dealer that was advertised as "rust free." I returned to inspect closer and possibly to make an offer. When I spoke with Richard he said this "Southern" truck was bought at auction and brought here. The first flaw I noticed was that rust spots/pitting on the sides was painted over. I then got on the ground to look underneath the bed. At first glance, the area around the rear wheel looked okay but then I noticed they had just painted everything black to hide rust. I then crawled underneath further and looked where the paint sprayer missed. The attached photo is the crossmember which provides structural support to the frame and bed: rusted through and dangerous! read more

Ride Auto Sales - DO NOT SHOP HERE!!! LIED ABOUT RUST!!! VERY DANGEROUS!!! - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Burnsville, Minnesota

I drove out of my way to look at 3 vehicles they had listed for sale. And each one had either sold earlier that morning or weren't available. Don't Waste your time vehicles look nice until you look closer into them and find a million issues. read more

Scam artists. My husband, who grew up in Minnesota, called them about a truck they posted online. He was traveling to see it from Chicago. They called him three times within a half hour, first calling to tell him he'd have to put down a deposit to see the truck because he was coming from out-of-state. Have you ever heard of such a thing? Then they called him back to tell him there would be $150 worth of extra fees & that there were features listed on the truck ad as working that don't work! My husband, of course, objected to the extra fees and told them to knock a hundred dollars off the asking price for the things that didn't work. He gets off the phone with Richard and minutes later they call back saying they refuse to sell to my husband. My husband knows cars and the buying and selling of cars and you don't sell vehicles this way. Buyer beware. read more

I wish I could give this dealerSHIT a negative star! I purchased my car from them three months ago, THREE-FREAKIN-MONTHS and after driving the car for a day, I noticed there was some smoke coming out from the hood. I gave the dealership a call and they didn't seem to care because the problem is no longer theirs, they already sold it and got their money. Three months later, even after replacing the alternator and battery, the car keeps dieing. I regret buying from this place. Save your money and go elsewhere! read more

Threatening and illegal! Avoid at all costs! "i dont care about reviews, i sell 1-2 a day and im very happy" "unless you have a close relationships with Spanish un-documented people who can only buy from us than i would be worried, until than you can only tell you review writing friends to walk in our shadows" I asked, "You mind telling me then?" He said: "no because if i do than you can report me to the police this way i have you by the balls" "no i wont, cause i already know who you are, where you live and what type of work you do i even know your social and the type of car you drive" This is his extremely unprofessional and THREATENING response via email after telling me I can't test drive the vehicles I wanted to look at and I told him you are losing potential sales and I was already not sure of them with the horrible reviews I've seen. read more

Dishonest place to buy a vehicle. Buyer beware. The 5 star review on yelp was done by the owner/manager of ride auto sales. Simply look at his profile and his signature on his other reviews. He even lies about being a customer of ride auto...don't expect a dishonest guy to be honest about selling you a vehicle. Do your research and stay away. read more

BUYER BEWARE!! These guys buy junk, cover up the issues, and resell for a huge profit. I bought a truck from them only to find out after getting it home that the supports attaching the bed to the frame are completely rotten with rust. The truck is unusable as a truck without a complete bed replacement. They covered all this up not only in nondisclosure, but also by physically masking it. Brand new drop in liner to cover the box, and welded two pieces of steel to support the box. And if that doesn't scare you enough to stay away, these goons were sued, appealed it all the way to the Minnesota Supreme Court, and LOST in 2018 for a fraudulent sale much like mine. Buckle up Ride Auto, I'm next! Phone calls to Attorney general in Iowa and Minnesota have been very helpful getting the process started. I would suggest anyone else who has been ripped off by these clowns call the Minnesota Attorney General to get in touch with the proper channels. Let's put these crooks out of business! read more

I drove 4 hrs to look at a pickup. I even called and told them i was out of state. Got there and was asked how i was gonna pay for it. I said check. He said no dont think so we dont work that way. I said call my bank he said nope. I said if i leave im not coming back. He was so rude and disrespectful. Asked who it was for i responded for my husband. He said well where is he. Left us standing at the pickup for 15 min we finally sat in our car. Then went back in to find him. But told us that someone bought a truck with a check and we couldnt. Will never go back. There is nothing on there web page about not taking checks or dealing with your bank. Also he could of said it when i called and said we was on our way. I would rate as a 0 but you have to put at least 1 star read more

Terrible service and wanted to run my credit and see if I was approved before a test drive. Stay away from this place

Jason was awesome. I found the car I wanted and I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a good car. He is an amazing person and he helped me out with a lot of questions which he answer for me. Please come find your dream car here at this place. read more

Honestly nice people , but I bought my 7.3 power stroke 2 years ago they said I couldn't drive it farther then a mile didn't think anything of it, drove it for a month spent 20thousans in repairs bought the truck from ride auto for 14 thousand dollars , I had to get transmission rebuilt, both my drive shafts were welded on together and put back on broke right off the highway and had my ball joints fly 70 mph on highway, both axels fix and defeated, all my vacuum lines, all my oil o rings were blown but you don't know these things after u drive the truck a while to let the engine warm up, and top of all that my whole body is so rusted and covered in touch up paint u couldn't tell until I took off my truck bed and saw full body size holes in my bed and no supports left in it but they covered it with a bed liner and painted it , honestly worst dealership for cars and trucks I've ever been too . DO NOT BUY FROM THIS PLACE WITHOUT FULL CHECK THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF AND NEVER DO ANYTHING read more

I went here with a friend to look at a SUV that online looked really great. I got there an walked inside and asked if they would take my car on trade they said no, okay that is fine I could sell it somewhere else, but I still looked at the SUV I drove an hour to see. It looked great minus a few scratches but that didn't bother me. I asked to take it for a test drive to make sure it drives the way it should and all that good stuff, you know like you usually do when you are in the market for a vehicle. The guy asked if he could run my credit before I took it for a test drive, I informed him that we get vehicle loans with my husbands name and that he was at work and would not be able to make it in today as they closed at the same time he got off work but if I liked the vehicle we could fill it out online, and he would leave work early one day to sign the papers if we decided to buy the SUV, and he got really rude saying we cant let you take it for a test drive in-tell we do a credit check and then what happens when your husband comes here an wants to take it for a test drive? Why would I let you run my credit (or my husbands) before even seeing if that was the vehicle we wanted to buy? Its not like I was trying to buy a brand new corvette, or Porsche!!! I left and went down the road to another dealer and they let me take whatever I wanted to for a test drive. So at-lest my almost hour long drive wasn't for nothing. From what I have seen in some of the past reviews this is not the first time this has happened, I also said something to the other dealership I went to and they said that this is not the first time they have heard that being said to potential buyers. After being treated the way I was I am glad that when my husband was in the market for a truck we never came down to this dealer to look at one we really liked. I Will NEVER be back but also my friend and I will tell everyone I know not to even look at RIDE AUTO SALES. Beware of the shaddy people here and the way they do business. read more

Found an Excursion I wanted, they advertised it as a Rust Free Truck and found several spots on the vehicle but looked past that. I drove up to them and bought the truck and they had just had AC work done. The AC was not cold when in slow traffic so I asked if I could take it back to where they had the work done so they could reweigh the freon, I've ased three time and no help. I went to pull my camper and found that the brake assist wasn't just removed but had the wires cut way up into the dash which makes no since. I drove for three days and took to a diesel mechanic and found the oil cooler was in horrible shape and the mechanic said that they should have know about this and did not disclose this. I asked for help and they have not had the appropriate person call. They have a ton of diesels if you want to purchase spend the money to have someone else look at it first. I will not buy from these guys again. No reason why the appropriate person or manager not call me back and approve the ac (it would not cost them a dime) or call me back about the hack job and cool cooler issue. read more

Ladies and gentlemen, let me save you wasted time out of your day to this "dealership". I was on Craigslist looking at a truck (04 Ford F-250) I called beforehand asking if the truck was still available, they said yes. I drove 45 minutes out of my way for them to say "oh, yeah we sold that a week ago." I asked if there were any other diesels on the lot within my price range, the lady rolled her eyes and scoffed, then rudely walked me out to another truck. I started it, then looked around (under the truck, under the hood, etc.) I noticed there was a turbo leak, fuel injectors were going out, oil leak. Asked the lady about that, she replied "okay so are you going to test drive it or can I go back inside?" Plus, don't go there if you can't understand people with accents, I got a headache trying to under stand them. Shady company. read more

No Way would I ever do business with these guys again. Bought a 2010 Hyundia Tiburon. When the motor went out at 70,000 something miles (Hyundia 100,00 mile drivetrain warranty) we found out from the dealer it wasn't the original factory motor. Not one slim bit of response to assist that this was a flooded car from down south. Car FAX report was a sham. Stay the F*** away from this place. read more

This is a terrible place. I was going in to check in on a car. And we stood outside looking at the car for maybe.... 5-7 minutes before deciding to go inside to go TALK to a representative about the car. As we talked to the representative, the only kindest thing he said was, I'll get back to you guys as I have to help another customer. Upon his return, he asked me how much I wanted the car, I simply said well, I've done research on the car, I like it, as for if I love it, I'm unsure. He then proceeds to tell me what can I do to make you love the car? I reply well I'd like to test drive it to see if I do love the car itself. As I said that he then told me they needed financial commitment, like.... How are you supposed to fall in love with a car just by staring at it? I didn't get to test drive the car and I sure as hell won't go to this place any more. Terrible service, terrible representative(s) (As I'm unsure of the others, but the one I had was by far the worst car salesman ever). I understand no joyrides, but I was seriously looking into the car. But not from that place anymore. Wasted 30 mins of my life and precious gas going to this junk dealership. read more
