BEWARE!! I purchased a classic 1956 Chevy Bel Air from out-of-state (Mr. Berard -Sales Mgr.) *Promised* to test drive before delivery, evaluate and advise of the condition... when the car arrived I quite naturally took it for a test drive. It was leaking fuel immediately, and noticeably from the fuel filter near the fuel tank. *Extremely* dangerous and immediately cost $240 to repair. Additionally, there is *NO* spare tire or tools to even change a flat... the trunk space 'EMPTY'! Whereupon I requested reimbursement for $315 total for the three items. I was told the gas line wasn't leaking when the car left the dealership *Wrong* and the tire, well that's to be expected as classic cars have different sized tires and hard to match. Really! Further inquiries from the owners Carroll President/CEO were without remorse, simply that's the way the car is and too bad... OMG for $315. After I spent $57,000 and over $65K with taxes and shipping. I have purchased and owned over 35 cars and never had such a heartless experience from a dealer in 50 years of buying cars. These guys will lie about a promised "Test Drive" and deny everything. WARNING!! DO NOT TRUST THESE GUYS and DO NOT PURCHASE BASED ON THEIR PROMISES have the car checked at an independent garage before purchasing- or you will get screwed! Five nice letters including the bills from a tire company, PEP-Boys tools and garage receipts from fuel filter go unpaid... and they never will pay! read more

Be very careful when dealing with RK Motors Charlotte. They sold me a 95k custom car that in email and verbal communication said the car can be driven anywhere and is in perfect cosmetic and mechanical condition, per Joe Carroll, President and CEO of RKM. Fact is the car cannot be driven at all. The issues are the engine will not idle, barley starts, incorrect fuel delivery system, leaks oil and transmission fluid, left power window does not work, no springs in the turbo wastegates and BOV not working, not dyno tuned as they said it was, radiator one and a half gallon low and no brake fuild in the reservoir. Their seal of approval or basic seal of approval is a joke. DO NOT buy a car from this company site unseen basing your purchase decision on their opinion of quality. They have no clue what a quality classic car is. There are other classic car dealers that are much more honest than these fools. Got my car back from the hotrod shop here in Denver that repaired all the mechanical problems not revealed to me during my communications with Joe Carroll. His false and misleading comments about my car is very distrubing for a classic car dealer that boasts themselves as the best in the world. 4600.00 to make the repairs and the car runs perfectly now...as it should have when I bought it from RKM Charlotte. The President and CEO will be going to prison very soon for identity fraud. Be careful in your purchase decision with this dealer. read more

I've been using RK Motors for years. They are simply an outstanding organization and a great group of guys. Joe, Tony and the whole gang are easy to work with and they tell you the truth. I have sold over 10 cars through them and they are the only people I will use. They take care of your car, the represent and market the car and they get it sold. They put it all in writing and they do what they say they will do. They tell you up front what your car is worth and they will normally get it for you. They have sold every car I have ever sent to them and they normally did it very quickly. Their pre-sale inspection is the best in industry. Based on the process I have been through on the sales side, I would absolutely trust buying a car from them just as much as i trust them to sell my cars. With them, I get an honest deal and a fair price for both sides. Their pictures are outstanding and if you review the HD versions the pictures will answer almost any question you could possibly have. Simply put, I trust them and I will continue to use them. read more

Bought a 1969 camaro SS 396/ 1969 a12 Superbee/ !968 GTX conv from RKM All very nice classics .Minor problems but still happy.My only suggestion is why they dont road test all cars before delivery. Would make customers alot more satisfied.Nobody whats to take a 55k plus car to a shop the first day they have it.If it were my dealership i would do road cks /tune ups/etc.I knew i had a problem when my 396 almost wouldnt climb the ramps to load on the car carrier. We tuned engine/replaced non working radio/pulled sterring wheel to fix loose turn signal/fixed leaking oil gauge in console that damaged mat & carpet too.Back up lights not working.Its mostly just little things. This is what makes it sad.For almost nothing they could of had my car almost perfect.I asked to drive it but they never offered to let us.Said no ins????This could be the greatest place to buy a classic car if they would ck things out better.I dont think i would of bought it if i had of drove it.At least not till they tuned up the engine. read more

This place is a travesty and a racket. The owner Robert Kauffman is a liar and a crook. His vile nature and shameful, deceptive business practices are geared solely to cheat customers. The proof is in all the horror stories about RK Motors―some of which are on Yelp and Google. Also, how about that Joseph M. Carroll? Clearly, Kauffman's ethics and judgment are shit for merging his company with that (Best of Show Automotive) of a crook (Carroll) who was convicted of fraud and identity theft. That bastard's crime spree goes all the way back to Hudson & Keyse, LLC which was a shady collection agency that he founded and went bankrupt while being investigated amid a flood of lawsuits. That alone ought to tell you a lot about RK Motors. Kauffman is not even a "car guy"; he is just a damn Jewish money manager in it for a quick buck. To be sure, he is the typical devious, money-grubbing Jew. Do yourself a favor, stay far away from the gyp joint called RK Motors. read more

I consigned my 1963 Split Window Corvette Restomod with RK Motors and they had it sold in just 5 days. I also bought a 65 Shelby GT350SR from RK, which had some minor issues(needed a custom tune, oil change, and AC system charge), but overall was as described and an excellent car! I recently consigned my 59 Corvette Restomod with RK and they needed to fix a few items that I missed on the car. They fixed the issues in a timely manner and while there hourly rate is high, i feel the amount I was charged was very reasonable. With the check system RK has for all incoming and outgoing cars, I am not sure how anybody could be disappointed when buying. Maybe their initial CEO was not the best person, but their current staff is top notch and I would not hesitate to recommend RK motors to buyers or sellers. Again, this is coming from someone who has actually sold with and bought from RK motors. read more

RK Motors is the real deal!! Extremely knowledgeable staff that really understands classic cars. I am by no means an expert or collector so i really appreciated the insight and advice they could offer to help me approach my first classic purchase. First off, they have the most amazing inventory. if you like cars, even if you are not looking to buy, I highly recommend stopping by the showroom to check out the inventory. Also, I really appreciated the effort they put into showing the cars on their website. They post lots of pictures along with a detailed write-up. That helps any buyer understand what they are getting before you walk in the door. Every car in their showroom had a clear price and a description so I could see various parts and specifications. 5 well deserved stars for this operation, and the only place to get a classic in my opinion. read more

I think RK Motors is the top dealer to purchase a muscle car from. I went to four different places around the country trying to find the perfect 57 Vette. RK Motors not only had the exact one I wanted, but they had eight of them! They were one of the few places that would allow us to inspect the car. Another classic car dealer nearby would not let us inspect. With the usual TLC these cars need to have, this will be the best one I've owned. Don in sales exceeded my expectations. They are serious car guys at RK Motors. I was so impressed with the Senior Vice President and this operation that I changed some of my own business practices. The showroom is unbelievable. A must see if you ever find yourself in North Carolina. It was worth the lengthy trip for me. read more

I purchased a nicely restored 1971 Camaro Z28 from RK Motors five years ago; they held the car a couple of days to fix a couple of details then shipped it to me in an enclosed truck, delivered by a very professional husband and wife team. I call them back every couple of years to let them know that I am still enjoying the car, and still rate the transaction that I had as one of the best buying experiences I've had in my 66 years, and I've had a few! My original salesperson has moved on, and I spoke to Kevin this time to keep the management updated on my continued satisfaction with the purchase. These type of businesses usually only hear back from customers with the bad news, I feel it is important also let them hear the good news from time to time. read more

I rated RK Motors 5 stars because they have the most professional and courteous of all the classic car consignment businesses. They are very responsive by email and answer calls without hesitation. RK Motors sold my RA IV Judge after I tried to on my account and ran into many buyer issues over 1 -1/2 years of attempts., RK Motors sold it 5 weeks after receiving the Judge. RK Motors had arranged and performed repairs to the front bumper paint during the 5 weeks and had received a call from a buyer who found me first and then made an offer through RK Motors that both parties negotiated and agreed on into a final sale position. Everything worked out great. Thank you RK Motors , Brian 8-15-14 read more

Don, Chalamar, workshop staff and everyone else I talked to and met were professional, knowledgeable, courteous, helpful and discreet. Talked at length to Don the sales manager and got all the answers to my many questions. As a result I purchased a BOSS 351over the phone from the UK. Came over and was not disappointed. I felt at home at R+K such that I spent the day there and dug deeper and bought a Roadrunner! Tested both cars, had them on the ramp and had more questions which were answered patiently! I am a very pleased customer and after researching and visiting several other establishments I would have no hesitation in highly recommending this company and their staff (and their cars!). read more

Bravo RK Motors ! After receiving our 1949 custom Cadillac , you have restored our faith in the classic car dealers. Our black beauty was accurately portrayed to a tee . We have purchased classic cars long distance before with the outcome not so pleasurable. Special thanks to sales manager D. Berard for his professionalism . Our classic beauty arrived 3200 + kilometers absolutely pristine . The only disappointment is we can't drive it until the ice and snow melts . We would not only highly recommend RK Motors but will most likely be a repeat customer . Thanks again for the professional honest treatment . Craig and Denise , Lacombe , Ab , Canada read more

RK Motors has just what I've been looking for! The story goes like this, my daughter LOVES Mustangs. Mustangs of all ages and types. Keying off her interest, I have been promising to buy her a classic Mustang if she gets all A's in school. As she has started driving, anytime we pass a Mustang on the road she says "hey Dad, look at that, I'm getting all A's ya know." Well this year she graduates with a 4.12 - all A's. I looked around to find a clean Mustang for her and wasn't having much success until I ran into Dan Buell at RK motors. Dan sent me information on several vehicles, the Shelby Mustang GT350 - perfect! Thanks Dan and RK Motors! read more

If you love classic cars like I do, you have to check these guys out. I'd been thinking about getting a classic muscle car for years, but I could never decide what I wanted and even when I thought I had an idea, I wasn't sure. Joe guided me the whole way while never being pushy. (Guess you don't have to be pushy when the customer walks in and starts drooling over all of the amazing vehicles.) I think he got be down from initially wanting everything available down to a few. Happy to say I pick up my new toy tomorrow and the day can't get here fast enough. Definitely come see these guys! You won't be disappointed. read more

I want to thank Rob, Joe, and Dan for opening the RK Motors Showroom to the public without an appointment. The "by appointment only" made planning tough for us who live out of state and don't know how long things will take or what traffic is like in your area. You guys have the best cars we have ever seen and the nice weather was a welcome break from our Lake Erie Winter. Up here in Ohio you guys are known as the Mona Lisa of the muscle car industry! Congratulations on your record breaking website traffic as well! RK Motors seems stronger today as a business than we've ever seen it before. Keep up the great work! read more

The reviewer that wrote "heaven on earth" is right on. The overwhelming positive reviews are right on, basically, a place you MUST visit if you are in NC. While it seems a some people had some issues with something that is really surprising to me because the place is cleaner than a hospital, the staff were very kind to us and explained every detail of the buying process. You are buying a classic car, not a brand new Mercedes, so if you are going to get into the hobby these guys are top notch Honestly, I am not sure I would ever buy a classic from anywhere else. read more

I heard about RK Motors from a good friend. I was looking to add a 69 Camaro to my collection of classics. I've been looking online and locally but after all the great things I've heard and pictures online I had to see the show room myself. UNBELIEVABLE! The friendly atmosphere and actual "museum" feel blew me away. These cars are restored "with love". I purchased my Camaro and the sales experience was smoother than buying a pop at the gas station. They checked with me frequently to follow-up and see if I need anything. I won't go anywhere else. read more

My wife and I stopped in after having my mustang cleaned up by their shop and had no idea what awaited. They have a sensational collection of cars unlike anything I have ever seen. Did you know this place was right here in Charlotte? I now refer to it as the "house of WOW." The mechanics did a good job and Dan, the guy that took us to the showroom and gave us a tour was awesome in every way. We went out to eat in our new RKM shirts and people were asking us where we went on vacation. LOL You guys need to advertise! read more

The most incredible Camaro ever built! RK Motors is the bomb! I went to three places before locking in a deal on the most stunning Camaro I have ever seen. It was worth every penny. This car is from a time when our country was great. Just driving it brings back so many memories. Thanks for preserving part of our history with your museum quality cars. The SVP was very professional and organized, and the sales team had the car ready when I showed up. I'll be a repeat customer as soon as I get my other half on board. read more
