I came across the car I bought after it was posted on Facebook. Loved the price and condition based on pictures so I drove an hour there to check it out in person, took it for a test drive. Everything seemed to be okay. Two months later, it needs an engine mount replaced. Which would be understandable given it’s a 20 year old car, but my issue is this…on the listing it said they replaced an engine mount. Which leads me to wonder…where are they getting their parts from? The junkyard? Or did they replace one engine mount, knowing another would need to be replaced soon and just decided not to acknowledge that? I definitely asked if they were aware of any other work that would need to be done soon…”it’s all good to go”…hmmm. Another negative..they replaced one of the sun visors..not even one month later the same visor falls down. All in all…can’t really beat the prices, but you definitely get what you pay for. Thankfully I have a trusted mechanic in my town and can afford to put money into it. And thankfully, it’s a Toyota. So if you plan on buying a car here, best make sure it’s Honda or Toyota…and have some money for repairs and maintenance in the very near future.

Donated a perfectly working car with low miles and in perfect condition (as well as a full aftermarket audio system) - obviously, with the idea that it would be given to someone in need. Loved the idea of doing that, especially if it went to someone younger who might appreciate the audio upgrades. Not a big deal if that didn't happen though. Instead, the car was apparently sold for less than half of its value. I could have sold that car to a dealership and then donated DOUBLE what they got by selling it at an auction. Please read that again. Not only do I lose thousands, but so does the actual charity! And, someone in this community didn't get a perfectly working and reliable car. I only found this out months later when I had to reach out to get the tax forms that I never received in the mail. So, who is benefiting if the actual community doesn't get the car, the charity itself loses thousands by selling it for less than half of its value, and the donator loses thousands in tax write-offs as well? Someone from a third party just managed to get a car for 70% off. I get screwed, the charity gets screwed, and, most importantly because it's the entire point of this charity, someone in this community got screwed. What a joke

Wonderful organization! Met Lisa at our Rotary meeting and had a great conversation with her about the mission. I donated my 2015 Honda Civic, and purchased a truck for my grandson. The process was smooth and FAST. The ladies in the office made everyone feel at home and welcome. They repair the donated cars and place those cars with people who are in need.
