They sold me a piece of shit I can't even register the vehicle because it won't pass inspection. They were nice when we spoke and handled business but I have a $12000 paper weight. I was told by Mark that it would be 1000% when it arrives read more

AVOID THIS DEALER! I purchased a car online from here in April 2017 Lincoln Continental. I dealt with Mark and inwish inbound have seen the less than 2 star reviews, and complaints about Mark specifically before doing business with them. The deal was negotiated entirely via text, we came to an agreement of OTD pricing, sale price tax shipping and a detail thrown in. The contract he sent me to sign then didnt match the detailed bill he sent me by $550. When I called this out he then reworked it and changed it to the correct bill which I signed. He attempted to collect a 3% fee on a $5000 dollar downpayment before I demanded an ach link with no fee. After 2 weeks of asking where my car was after no delivery I was told to sign another contract for hundreds more before the car would be released. Reluctantly they had my money already so I did. During negotiations I specifically asked about paint and interior conditions, to which he replied there were no scratches dents or interior issues and "stood by it 100%". Upon receiving the car there was a 3 inch scratch exposing metal on the door. A gash in the buper, a washed undercarriage and rim. The leather was very worn in the driver seat, and backseat where a childseat had been for im guessing years. There were cheerios in the seatbelt crease, this car was not cleaned let alone detailed. When I closed the moonroof cover which was delivered open, there was an 8 inch brown smear that was obviously an attempted cover. When i complained i was offered 250$ to sign a fill release of liability. Which doesnt even cover what they got out of me withbthe hostage second contract. I refused and filed a complaint with the ohio AG, and BBB. In which they refused to make right, even claimed that all of the damage was disclosed in a video walk through, which never happened. And claimed that it was in the original listing, which they could no longer find as was not available.​ read more

I would strongly caution anyone against purchasing a vehicle from this dealership. I was pressured into placing a non-refundable deposit on a van that was advertised as being in great condition with a clean Carfax report. The dealership staff explicitly told me there were no issues with the vehicle, yet within hours of receiving it, multiple mechanics confirmed serious pre-existing engine damage and other safety concerns. Despite purchasing a warranty, coverage was denied, and the dealership has been completely unhelpful, dismissive, and at times rude when I've tried to work toward a solution. I am now out thousands of dollars in deposits, inspections, and repairs, and the vehicle is still not safe to drive. If you're considering buying here, please get an independent inspection before committing. My experience has been extremely stressful and costly, and I wouldn't want anyone else to go through this. Please take the reviews like this into serious consideration. read more

SCAMMERS! Stay away from this place. We saw a car we liked online and set up an appointment to come see it. They pressured us into putting down a deposit and assured us that it would be refunded if we didn't like the car, because we were coming from 2.5hrs away. When we arrived, they messed up our appointment time so they didn't even have the car out, made us go to a second location, and when we got there, they said we couldn't see the car because it wasn't running! They told us they could do the fixes, send a video to us to see if we still wanted it, and then ship it to us if so. We asked if we could at least see it, even if it wasn't running. After some hemming and hawing, another person took us to see the car in a crowded back lot. It was covered in animal hair, cigarette holes in the upholstery, some panels were coming off, and there was some weird corrosion under the mats in the trunk. We left unsatisfied but kept it in mind as an option because we needed a car soon. Over the next couple of days we looked at some other cars and found one that we liked. Yalcars messaged us to say the car was ready, and we said we had decided against it because of the aforementioned issues. They now refuse to give us our deposit back even though they promised us they would. $500 down the drain. Thanks a lot, Yalcars!!! read more

I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone, stay away from them. They asked my boyfriend to put $500 down to come down to look at a truck, we're 2 hours away. Couldn't make it there, & they wouldn't refund his $500. They said they dont give refunds, but they didnt explain that when they asked for the money. They're ripoffs!!!!!!! They shouldn't be aloud to do this. I dont even rate this place 1 star. read more

I submitted a credit application to YalCars for an Alfa Romeo and they completely dropped the ball. They pulled my info but never gave me any financing terms, no response about approval, and no follow-up despite multiple calls, emails, and texts. One salesperson even promised me she was "putting the deal together" and would call back the same day. That was months ago--I never heard from her again. Meanwhile, I keep getting automated emails asking if I'm still interested. This dealership is unprofessional, untrustworthy, and possibly violating consumer protection laws by ignoring credit applicants. I strongly advise against doing business with them. read more

DO NOT EVER BUY FROM HERE ! Bought a car and needed a repair 3 days after. They erased all the car codes. Check engine light came on 15 Mins from driving off the lot. A Scam. Manager is disrespectful. Snotty. Attitude. Ran credit for replacement car, Then said they aren't going to give one. Worst experience. Warning you from 10k In repairs. Just do not. 300 in "Repairs"- A wire holding it up. read more

Carol Stickel at Yalcars is AMAZING! I just bought a beautiful silver 2019 Nissan Versa from her, and I couldn't be happier. In fact, Carol made this purchase the best car buying experience of my life! (And I'm 56 years old - I've done my fair share of car buys.) From the first contact where she promptly responded to my message asking if the car was still available until she handed me the key, Carol was respectful, helpful, and knowledgeable. She was also compassionate about my situation, and I was in a bad situation. On Saturday, July 13th at 5:30 in the morning, a deer leaped from the far side embankment into the driver's side hood of my 2017 Nissan Versa. It was devastating, and since it was painfully obvious my car might be totaled, I began to look for a replacement right away. There was time pressure, because as soon as the car was declared a total loss, the insurance company would give me only five days to find a replacement before they stopped paying for the rental car. I didn't think that would be enough time. However, thanks to Carol, and her amazing efficiency, I was able to get into my new car in record time. I returned the rental car TWO DAYS EARLY, and I didn't have to pay for a single day of the rental out of my own pocket. (side note: Carol also gave me excellent advice about rental car return policies!) I live over a hundred miles from Youngstown, so Carol arranged a video call for me to see the car. I was able to get a really good idea of the car's condition. Additionally, Carol even pointed out to me a crack in the windshield which I hadn't noticed in the photos online (this was my error - it had been well-documented). She offered to roll the repair into the cost of the car, and she got an excellent dealer price for the new windshield and installation as well as getting it done the next day so it wouldn't push back pick-up time. Of course, I was also shopping at other places at the same time, including Carvana, and Carol got me a much better deal on the car I wanted than any other place offered me. She also found me financing with a lower interest rate than Carvana offered! In fact, if I hadn't been able to drive out to pick it up, Carol could have shipped the car to me just like Carvana would have. End of the story: on Saturday the 20th of July, just one week after my previous car was totaled, I arrived at Yalcars to pick up my new car, it was in exactly the condition that Carol had presented it to be. I could not be happier with Carol, and I love the car she sold me! read more

I bought a car from yalcars and traded mine in, the vehicle I received was so much worse than the one I traded in. Battery was dead, front tires bold. Contact them, they told me that they would fix it never got back to me. Do not buy from yalcars. read more

I bought a vehicle from them the woman named Dawn hung up on me on the phone when i was trying to talk to her. very rude. i ordered online so when i received the vehicle it was full of rust. I did ask the sales person did it have rust he said none. after having the vehicle for two days the engine light came on and on the third day the transmission starting to slip. They shouldn't call themselves yalcars...it should be junk cars !!! I tried to tell them it's a lemon i didn't want it. But guess what people....ALL Sales are Finial !!! so I'm stuck with a piece of Crap!!! Thank you Junk cars. Oh i mean yalcars...I recommend to all buying online. Never buy online from yalcars !!! read more

I don't know where to begin. This dealership has two dealerships close to each other from what I gather the higher end place seems to be better but I'm guessing they're both owned by the same person so I don't want to impune the other place if that is not the case. I have a feeling of absolute disgust right now they shut the check engine light off on purpose it has the date and time and they most definitely were holding the car at that time so they were the ones who did it. The check engine light popped on 50 miles after I left there. I knew immediately I was dealing with a lemon but because of the conditions in which I bought it I really didn't have a choice. I'm coming from Pennsylvania and I knew buying a car in Ohio was a very bad idea and I did it anyway. I thought the Carfax would be enough and it looked like it was taken care of for the most part. My guess is the original owners knew there was an extremely expensive fix that wasn't very common they had to have known about this but on top of that the catalytic converter was gone I'm almost at the point where I would not be surprised if they were the culprits themselves smelting this down. They knew it was missing... I know it. When you buy things as is it's much easier to get away with crap like this. I found it extremely interesting that they were so insistent on me leaving a review immediately for them that's all they cared about was that review I left them cuz it helps their business so much.. I wrote a good review and I instantly erased it. After, I just took it to get inspected after I got all the papers situated which was a whole separate nightmare with their front desk lady.. I took it to get fixed and I had a feeling I was going to put a couple Grand into it and I was disgusted already.. I'm going to tell you what it is $7,000 to fix this car.... By the time I'm done with this I could have bought a brand new car 2025... If I could go back there and drop kick that dealer I absolutely would. Everything out of his mouth was an absolute lie.. is there any major problems? "nope everything's perfect everything's absolutely fine" I'm a young disabled mother I can barely walk and what he did to me was the most disgusting thing ever he knew I had a million cars lined up right behind this one but I'd like the way this one looked more than the other ones and I didn't like that I had to be on the hook for a minimum of six grand in financing in most of the dealerships in Pennsylvania but that wouldn't have been a problem in the end cuz I could have just paid it off because I put so much down. We're looking into legal action because we have a print out of the dates they shut the light off..tampering with the vehicle Ohio codes.. On a separate issue their front desk lady is such a snake and she's so vulgar for absolutely no reason or cause, out of nowhere she will just get super nasty with you if you called ask a question one time she will apparently accuse you of having a brother you don't have and random people you don't know calling on your behalf from phone calls that never happened..let's say I did have an imaginary ghost brother..if my ghost brother did call you for me..so what..answer him..its called a fn job! But it never happened...and swearing at neighboring businesses 2 ft away from my house which happens to be a notary..so, I see these women from time to time, and I had to buy them lunch and apologize on this woman's behalf because I felt so horrible for the way she talked to them it was absolutely disgusting to watch another grown woman talk to two other women like this. It took a lifetime to get any of the papers I needed to have in my possession all of that paperwork and getting my plate seemed really sketchy I don't know what kind of b******* they strung up together at the last minute to get it to me but it was really annoying and it wasn't smooth whatsoever. Absolutely beware of buying anything from here I suggest you run a million Miles away who cares what a Carfax says it does not matter anymore when you're dealing with businesses like this they can't be trusted. I always thought it was an inconvenience to everyone to go take a car and get it inspected but I'm going to tell you what in the future I will never not do that. I can't believe I have to pay $22,000 for a 2017 Buick encore with 60,000 miles on it in the end that's exactly what happened and have a very rough go of it as well trying to get your paperwork with nasty people. I would like to say there is one girl in their office that was it a good employee and she was no problem whatsoever I don't mean to impune everyone in this but as a whole you have to cover yourself and if you have to spend an extra $2,000 to by the same type of car at a dealership that has a lot better options ie. Even a 6mo warranty or a vetted dealership..I'd do it. Here's your review Yalcars, Hate always, Ashley read more

The car I had placed a "non refundable hold" on was NOT what was advertised. After leaving a deposit for what was advertised and what I was promised, that is not what I was presented with. I ran my credit with the company because the dealership told me the car I was looking at online was in pristine condition, minus a few cosmetic flaws. I drove 400+ miles to Youngstown, Ohio to do business with this car dealership and upon arriving, the vehicle had a dead battery, water damage in the top left A-Pillar, the trunk would not open, and the suspension would not function. After respectfully asking for a refund, I was told that they would not issue one. Save yourself a headache and search elsewhere. read more

If I could give negative stars, I would. We purchased a truck from out of state. My husband set up a video call with the salesman t see the car and inquire about buying it. The sales man told my husband (I was in the room) that no service lights were on and that there was no cosmetic damage (except maybe a scuff on the inner fabric lining of the truck). The check engine light was on the day it was delivered and they had duct tape the same color as the truck over a spot that was involved in an accident. You could not see it on the pictures they posted on line. We called and were told they could send us some gift cards (which they never did). Not to mention, that is not sufficient. We did not receive the title for the truck. We called them to request a title (as the temporary tags were expired) and they said they already sent it and we should call DMV. HORRIBLE place. Dawn (who answers the phones) was the rudest person I have spoke to. She talked on top of me every time I tried to speak and was totally unwilling to help with anything. She told me they won't overnight anything and won't send things with a tracking number. DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THEM. read more

SCAM. FRAUD. SHADY BUSINESS. Bought a car and had to do 6 thousand dollars worth of repair. Warranty apparently not attached to the vehicle, then the banks and this carol ***** are calling back and forth with conflicting lies about reposessing a car I've made all my payments for. Someone launch an investigation and get these slime balls shutdown. Buyer you've been warned DO NOT DEAL with these people. They are despicable and will only try to take your money lie and spin a story. After I got my repairs finished they call and talk. read more

This dealership is a SCAM! They sold cars that were being held in the period of running my credit (and I was only a co-signer). Didn't convey when a creditor denied credit. Not to mention, the DEALERSHIP ran my credit. A DEALERSHIP. And when I asked why, the salesperson, carol, gave me a nasty attitude, saying "honey have you ever bought a car before?" In fact, I've bought 3, enough to know that none of those legitimate dealerships have ran a hard inquiry into my credit. I would give negative stars if I could. This place is ridiculous and unreputable. If you can go to a hobo down the street for a car, I would recommend that before this place. read more

Yeah ,let's call this joint what it is yo ho motors .Went to look at a 10 mercedes, was beat up,scratched up,and exhaust leaks all around .So looked at another..of course more expensive like 13.000 expensive..was okay..tires gone..no.brake pads.e.t.c,but after 4 months of very expensive rental cars(due to more shady ytown peeps) I put 500 down on a car..I shouldn't have. My bad..Cuz the next day a really nice car came my way..I called Daniel, first words..YOUR DEPOSIT IS FINAL.. SO i laughed and told her merry Christmas ..cars are beat..Don't be impressed by there I'm sure insanely overpriced show cars...This place is a yo ho..Stay away... read more

YALCARS goes above and beyond with a no-pressure buying atmosphere. I set up a virtual appointment to see the vehicle since I was unable to make it in for a week. My salesperson Melissa went over the vehicle with me and even started it up and checked all the features! I placed a deposit that day to hold the vehicle. The day I arrived I was greeted with snackd and smiles. Signed the paper word and drove away! Such a smooth and simple process! Would highly recommend. read more

BUYERS BEWARE!!! DO NOT BUY HERE!!!!Crooks!!! Our personal experience was horrible. Purchase a vehicle for $29k for it to break down 50 miles off of the lot. Russ' favorite catch phrase instead of making it right was, "Well ma'am you bought it as is and that's why we sell extended warranties". They do not have technicians that are equipped to work on imports. They only run diagnostics on it before they sell. Our vehicle didn't even make it 2 hours!!!! Do yourself a favor buy from a lot that has qualified service techs and likes to make their business right. This is not that place. We are now in contact with the BBB over our experience. read more

Horrible...run away! The back-up camera in the car doesn't work now (found out after I drove off the lot), the locking mechanism is unreliable, and I still haven't received my out of state license plate (Yalcars started the process on November 6 and it's December 29) read more

They misrepresented the vehicle I purchased. I was an out of state buyer and did a video call with Russell Hardenburgh to get a better look at the car. I asked Russ if there was any damage to the vehicle and he mentioned a pebble mark on the driver's door but the rest of the car was clean. The CARFAX showed no accidents and a single owner. I bought the car and it arrived with a cracked rear quarter panel on the passenger side and damage to the rear bumper as if it had been in an accident. The front wheel liner was missing on the passenger side (along with a handful of other parts) and the front bumper impact bar skid plate (a thick metal piece) had been sheared off on one side. Any sort of inspection or walk around the car would easily note this damage, yet he said the only visual damage he could see was a single pebble mark. I spoke to him about the poor condition of the vehicle and was basically told it was my fault for trusting him. This car wouldn't even pass my state's inspection! I am filing a complaint with the Ohio Attorney General and BBB. I would recommend any one else in a similar situation (there appears to be quite a few!) to do the same. read more

I went to this dealership because i was pre-approved through Westlake financial at 12% interest. I was advised that 24% interest was the best rate I could get with my credit. Come to find out, my credit wasnt even run through westlake financial! The dealership decided to use another bank they work with (to get a kickback on the interest rate every month I'm sure). I should've walked away then. I got the truck delivered because I live in another state. The gas tank was empty. On the way to the gas station the vehicle started smoking. I didn't even drive the thing 2 miles and it broke down. I had it towed to the shop to be fixed. When I called the dealership to advise them what happened they told me there was noting they could do, I needed to use my extended warranty. Not sure why because the vehicle came to me BROKEN!!! The warranty company only covered a third of the bill. Within the first month of ownership I had to shell out another 1.5k. Please don't make the same mistake i did and go somewhere else. This place only cares about money and not the customers they are taking advantage of. SHAME ON YOU YALCARS!!! read more

I had a bad experience with Yalcars and I noticed that google seemingly removed my review so i am adding it here. There is no need to lie to the custoner to make a profit. Had they told me the truth, i would have spent more money on a better car from them - and left a good review as well. read more

Dawn McMicheaux from the Austintown location was very professional and helpful. I recommend doing business with yalcars from either location! read more

The sales associates are scammers. He shows me a vehicle that clearly has completely bald tires I would be afraid to even drive it in the rain and the transmission is going. "No, the tires aren't bald!" Did he think I was an idiot? There was no tread left at all. None. Smooth like a a babies bottom. Then another one i saw was shaking extremely bad while running and you could smell gas...he actually said "it's probabky a sensor"...literally the worst car salesmen I've come into contact with. Turned me off so much I won't be back and I will definitely warn everyone. I'll take my cash elsewhere. Scammers and bad at it 100%. read more

I co-signed on a POS car. This company promised a great car with a great warranty. They were very convincing and promised us satisfaction. I knew it was sketchy but we gave them a try. The check engine light turned on right after purchasing and driving home. I do not recommend this place to anyone. We lost $10k off the bat on an $11k purchase. read more

Beware! ALWAYS take any car to a mechanic Before you purchase. Paid $2000 more than the car was worth an ended up spending another $$1500 on repairs the worthless warranty doesn't cover. Nice people, but these are suction cars that have serious repair issues, that dealers don't want to fix. I am done with this place read more

spent 35k on a car and they gave me the car on E with a slow leak tire they wouldn't replace

bought a Chevy for 8k cash worked for one day now the trunk is broken the engine is over heating the fans need to be replaced this dealership is a nightmare and seeing other reviews this is not uncommon I should have done more research would have been better off buying a car off Craigslist then this place save your money and the headache they sell junk and don't care once it's off their lot what a absolute joke read more

WARNING DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM YALCARS. Purchased a bmw and three hours later the motor blew up. Flash forward 3 months( during which time I could not drive my car because it went from various other car lots to get fixed) it also went to his employees backyard over Christmas to try to repair. So 3 month warranty up and yigit( that's the owners name, I'm not making fun) tells me not his problem. he And Danielle and russ are are very very good liars.. practice makes perfect. By far the worst experience with human beings in my life. Don't believe the fake review site that they have set up. read more

They lie and scam you. When to buy a 2006 Mercedes R500, it's valued at $2400 and the vehicle was listed at double the price at $5k which is fine I guess, but when we went to get financed they financed us for $10k triple with what the vehicle was worth. Before we bought it they said the alternator went out and they replaced it. It was definitely not replaced or is was a horribly remanufactured one. Another issue I have is they sold the vehicle to us AFTER they cleared the Check Engine light. Not even 10 minutes from the dealership the light came on, checked it out and the obd port was open which ment they cleared any codes that was wrong with the vehicle beforehand. When I got home I hooked up my Mercedes scanner and verified they cleared the code. They also said if there's anything wrong call them, well that's a lie they act surprised that anything is wrong and after awhile stop answering the phone. There's so much more but bottom line take the vehicle to a trusted mechanic, and don't trust anything they say. They are there to sell you a car and make profit. They don't care about anything else. read more

Everything was fairly simple and easy until I made it home and ran my scanner on the car no cel was present but I did find some other stuff that was stored on the ecu. P 1604 had a failed test and failed to mention the carfax report they had up on the car neglected the moderate damage it sustained in a accident and that there were prior issues with the check engine light. And I've reached out a few times to get it handled called/ emailed haven't heard anything. But we're quick to take my money and ignore they just financed a 2018 Subaru wrx. Would not recommend solely on the fact of their well lack of integrity and moral standards. read more

I recently had purchased a car from them. Everything was going well, staff was wonderful, made sure I had a drink, offered me something to snack on as well, was quick and easy, also was able to get me into the car I wanted same day. The same day I purchased the vehicle I was picking up my children from school and my car told me it was over heating to turn it off, go ahead take it to lube stop and turn it off. The workers there saw that I was leaking antifreeze really bad. Go ahead open the hood, took the cap off and it was smoking telling me that I had no antifreeze in my reservoir. They told me that once it cooled off enough that they would fill up my tank. It took a whole bottle and took more antifreeze when I brought it to the dealership to see what was wrong with the it. They tell me that it was an air bubble in the line as to why it was leaking and as to why it over heated. Go ahead and drive the vehicle all the way to Tuesday. Go to start it Wednesday morning and it starts throwing all these codes on my dash board saying to roll certain windows down, theft deterrent, something about my key fob, everything is lighting up wont start or turn over, and the windshield wipes are moving by themselves, and won't turn off. Checked under the hood, and what do you know? my coolant reservoir is empty after being filled 7 days prior, and has a coolant leak all of a sudden. I had to call my own tow to get it towed over to Yalcars Dealership.. They said they were getting my car into the shop immediately, so I wait to the next day to call. I don't get a call back till noon from Ross, stating that we have the car running we just have to do diagnostics on the car and see where the leak was coming from and fix it. I called three times after to check and see if I could pick up my vehicle today which I kept being told that the sales person was busy. so I eventually go up by myself to see what's going on with my car. to find out that they already know that it's a hoes that has a leak and that they're still running diagnostic to figure out the electrical issue. I asked when will the car be done? I asked this because I have a Monday-Friday job, I have kids that go to school, and I just purchased a vehicle. Now I'm being told that I'm going to have to pay a certain percentage of the repair even though the coolant issue was known the day of purchasing it. They're trying to do right by their wrong, but still have yet to get a final answer of when I would be able to have my car back. read more
