I bought a car from Rob and quickly realized he is a great person to do business with. He is very willing to answer any questions you have and encourages you to keep in contact if you need help with your vehicle even after the sale. Rob had a used Prius with LOW miles and he gives a one year warranty on the battery. Where else will you find that kind of peace of mind? Great job Rob!

I had the most wonderful experience purchasing a car through Octane Automotive! Rob was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and eager to get me into the car I wanted. Rob had resources to help me get an auto loan through a credit union which in turn is helping me to build my credit. Rob is so personable and kind, I couldn’t imagine this experience going any better than it did. I’m eternally grateful and having so much fun in my 2007 Volkswagen Beetle!

Just bought a nice car there. The best was knowing that it was checked by mechanics and other car specialist assuring me that I wouldnt drive off the lot and something would end up being wrong. The owner is awesome and will let you know everything you need to about what your purchasing. He also encourages you to call him and ask if you have questions or an issue. If your looking to buy a solid car at a more than fair price, this is the place to go in the state. Hats off and thanks for the car Rob!

I bought a nice used Prius from Rob at a fair price. Two days later it died on the side of the road. And it died in a big dramatic Prius way: red death triangle burnt fuse stink...terrible. After the tow service Rob was the first person I contacted and although it was 9pm on a Saturday night he responded. Unreal he said and it was. He was as much put out by it as I was. Rob was there for me every step of the way. I found out later that the inverter coolant pump failed which is known to happen in second gen Prius (Toyota even replaced these under a recall). Rob sent me the part I needed, and, if you can believe it, reimbursed me for the full cost of the tow. I installed the part myself. I can not recommend Rob highly enough. He is someone you can trust and when it comes to buying a used car trust is at a premium. If you think Robs price is fair do not hesitate to buy. Rob has your back all the way.

We had a great experience buying a vehicle from Rob at Octane Automotive. He is extremely friendly and not pushy at all. We showed up after hours to try and sneak a peak at a vehicle. Turns out Rob was still there. He greeted us like he knew us and brought us to the vehicle of interest. He offered to hold it for us if we wanted to stop by the next night to test drive it. Which we did and ended up purchasing. Rob is a person of integrity and really cares about his customers. He has a lot of connections in the vehicle world and offers to help his customers get his discounts. In addition to the vehicle world, he has many other passions and it was really fun talking with him about them. Would highly recommend.

Purchasing a car with Rob was like a breath of fresh air! I had been dealing with so many salesmen at big car dealers who werent knowledgable about the used cars they were selling and werent interested in me or my automotive needs. It really just felt like they were there to punch in and punch out.Rob, however, was clearly knowledgeable about the cars he was selling. He clearly has high standards when it comes to the conditions of the vehicles he sells. The 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid I purchased from him didnt feel like a car that was 15 years old. It looked and felt like it hadnt been driven! No rust, no rattles, and a spotless interior. Beyond that, Rob is just a genuine person who takes the time to learn about you as a customer and as a person. I am very grateful to have worked with him in my car buying experience and I will 100% recommend him to anyone!Thank you, Rob!

After going through a nightmare of a time trying to find a reliable family vehicle. I stumbled across Octane Automotive on Carguru.

Rob was by far the best salesman I have ever dealt with. Honest, easy going, and not your typical out to make money and screw you over. I purchased a 2007 Honda Odyssey from him and everything he described about it was exactly what he said or exceeded. He treated me like a friend and not a customer. I will highly recommend him and will definitely purchase from him again. Well worth the hour and a half drive. After I missed my first appointment time Rob made time for me later that day fully knowing that there was a possibility that I wouldnt show up. This man went so far above and beyond his busy life to squeeze me in for the perfect car for me I will forever be a customer. Thank you for everything Rob!

Rob was excellent to work with and great about answering any questions I had in buying a 2006 Prius. Prior to meeting Rob and looking at his inventory I had multiple salesman from other dealerships either ignore me or try to sell me defective cars. Rob was honest, easygoing, and concerned about making sure I ended up with a good vehicle. Im very happy with the car and will definitely buy from him again in the future.

I had the pleasure of working with Rob and he was great! I bought a 2009 Nissan Altima and it runs great! The quality of car matches the price and he made sure to make sure the car worked properly before selling it! He is a very friendly guy and very passionate about his work! I felt comfortable buying this car! He even gave me a complimentary oil change! Rob is a great man and if your looking for a reliable car salesman who will not treat you wrong or get over on you, “Octane Automotive,” is where you need to be!

Review №17

One of the most nerve-wracking things in life is trying to buy a used car and hope you don’t get taken advantage of in the process. Honestly, I was skeptical at first when the website said “by appointment only” and had my guard up.. especially when I found that the car I was looking at had a warranty included. It seemed way too good to be true, and as a single mom, I feel like sometimes people can see me coming from a mile away. So I asked my brother to come along and test drive the car and it drove like a dream. The entire process was very smooth and everything that Rob said he would do, he did. About 2 weeks after I bought my car, I had some dashboard lights come on and completely freaked out thinking that I bought a lemon and now I was stuck with it. Rob had followed up asking how everything was going and I told him what was happening. He called me immediately and helped me resolve the issue. I didn’t feel alone at all when I thought I was having major issues with the car and he reassured me we’d get it figured out. I am seriously still so dumbfounded that a car salesman can have integrity and mean what he says. I don’t typically write reviews, but I knew after I had such a positive experience that it was important to write one so other skeptics like myself could read the reviews for Octane Automotive. I’m almost 1 month in with my Honda Pilot and I absolutely love it- not just because it’s an awesome car, but also because I’m confident that I bought a good one.. because Rob knows what he’s talking about. :) I have already recommended him to one of my family members for their next car purchase. Because I know he’ll treat them right.

I went out in search of my first car and had nothing but anxiety in regards to how it could have gone given my lack of experience, but Rob had completely subverted my expectations and was nothing but the most kind and helpful fella I could’ve stumbled across. If I hadn’t left with my Honda CR-V, I would have no doubt continued looking through their inventory, and I plan on maintaining contact and business with this place, whether I’m looking for another vehicle or even if I come across any problems with my current one, or even if I just have questions 👍 great place, 10/10

In my opinion, shopping for a used car is not fun. I looked at several small dealers. I immediately liked Rob at Octane Automotive. He was up front and personable. He does a thorough inspection of each vehicle. When I test drove one of his cars, and had a concern, he had the car looked at the next day. I ended up buying the car and am very happy with it. In addition, the location was easy to get to and well taken care of. I definitely recommend Octane Automotive!

With a new driver in the family, it was time for another car. Something that would be reliable, and at a reasonable price. I had been looking around, and even had the run-around at a local big-name dealer that left me less than impressed. Fortunately I stumbled upon Rob at Octane Automotive and he had just what we were looking for. He was easy to work with, and not overbearing. After the purchase, when we wanted to add a few upgrades to the vehicle, Rob leveraged his dealer status to help us with some parts. This saved us a lot of money, and was something he didnt need to do. I wholeheartedly recommend Ron and Octane Automotive when vehicle shopping.

Review №23

I thought we were getting a good used Prius, the nice salesman said that it was inspected and approved by the dealership; however less than 2 months later weve had to spend more than $2000 in repairs for the temperature sensor and replacement gasket etc. after driving less than 200 miles. I feel absolutely ripped off and regret wasting our money.

I bought a used 2004 Toyota Prius from Rob at Octane. I have waited a week after purchasing to write a review because the entire process seemed to good to be true.My experience with Octane was great pricing, great customer service, and great product knowledge. Rob was extremely friendly and answered all of my questions before even asked them, he was clearly trying to get me the best deal and make sure I knew what was going on throughout every step of the process.I am a young woman who went shopping for a car with my parents, usually that will result in being condescended by a salesperson or just flat out ignored. He knew I was the one purchasing and spoke to me as an adult. Rob was extremely aware about directing all of the information to me rather than my parents.Now I am happy to say after a week my Prius runs like a dream, I could not be more satisfied with my purchase from Rob at Octane.

This is by far the best experience of my time, Rob; the one who helped me and my family out is very informational and very kind! They have very great deals for the best cars and I wouldnt mind going there again or recommending it to a friend or family. I really appreciate the honest and straightforward details he adds in when a question is asked. Its worth seeing the car in person and to also talk to him about it! Wanting to have the best car for yourself, he will make his way to also make sure all your questions are answered! And again would totally recommend to others!

After several weeks of searching for a car I found a great priced Equinox at Octane Automotive. Met with Rob who was great at explaining everything we needed to know about his cars, and was very friendly. The vehicle drove great, and decided the same day to buy it. Very comfortable car buying experience!

My husband and I purchased our first Prius from Rob a few months ago. I found the car through Craigslist and we live about an hour and a half away from the dealership. It was a busy time in our life because we had just closed on a home, were in the process of moving, had another vehicle break down, and were trying to build a deck... so it took many tries to coordinate a time to get down there for a test drive. Rob assured us that he would be patient and participated in many phone calls and text messages to give us information about the car before deciding to go down there. When we were finally able to, it ended up being a little later than we planned, but Rob stuck around to ensure we were taken care of even as it was pushing into 8PM, without once feeling rushed. The car itself was in great shape, a very reasonable price, and came with a no-nonsense sale. My husband has been driving it to his job in the twin cities every weekday since without any problem.So thanks again, Rob, for the fabulous service; my apologies for taking so long to write this. To all out there in the market, please give this place a try!

We bought a used Prius from Octane Automotive. I first spoke with Rob on the phone and he did a great job telling me about his inventory and was very upfront about vehicle condition, prices, etc. Rob scheduled time to meet with us and I appreciate he took time to answer all of our questions. We test drove a couple cars and were happy to find a car we loved. Highly recommend Rob and Octane and will surely be back!

Recently bought a car from Rob at Octane Automotive. It was a very positive experience. Rob is very helpful, honest and knows his cars well. He was not pushy at all. He even helped me out with getting in touch with a great insurance agent. The car was in great condition and was exactly as advertised. I would buy another car from Rob without a doubt and highly recommend Octane Automotive to anyone considering buying a pre-owned vehicle.

I bought an 07 Prius from Octane Automotive two weeks ago and so far Its been a great experience. Rob was very helpful explaining the the vehicles he sells and what has been fixed/replaced/inspected on the car. All of the vehicles were very clean and rust free. The Prius that I bought is in great shape and has been a pleasure to drive. Ill definitely be giving Rob a call when its time to upgrade to a newer model. 10/10!

Rob was very welcoming when we saw him at his car dealership in Burnsville. He takes great pride and care in the work he does with his cars.We went looking for a car for my teenage daughter and Rob was very understanding about her budget, her wishes, and my expectations regarding safety and reliability.We went in for one car we saw on FB and came out, that same day, driving a better alternative.We would recommend Octane Automotive for used cars that are not too expensive.Thanks Rob for your help!

A+ customer service - you can definitely buy here fully knowing that you are getting a clean, inspected vehicle, that has had everything gone over well and either replaced or reconditioned as needed - not simply sold with malfunctioning or ok components. My last purchase from Rob I jumped into and drove 500 care free miles in a single day. That is how positive you can be about his vehicles. And if you have a reasonable issue pop up after buying he will take care of you immediately on the spot; no haggling, no messy negotiations, no being out on your own as is typical of buying used vehicles. Highly recommended - do not hesitate to buy from here!

I just recently bought a car from here and I had the best car buying experience of my life. Rob knew his cars, and sold me on one that would be perfect for me and will last me a very long time. Rob makes sure his cars are cared for and he sells the most good looking pre-owned cars I’ve seen around. My travel from Duluth while not long was very worth it. Phenomenal customer service, great cars and all in all a car buying experience that makes it worth your money.

This is a very small shop which doesnt have a lot of cars to select from but meeting with the shop owner Rob you can tell that all the cars are of a standard of quality that you can be assured of beyond that Rob is just a stand up guy and you dont have to deal with all the dealership nonsense of trying to be pandered to to buy a car. Will always reccomend this small business, genuine service with functional machines. Love my new 2009 outback

I truly had a wonderful time working with Rob and purchasing a vehicle from Octane Automotive. As someone in the market for a used Prius, it was huge to me that Rob makes sure the battery of the hybrid is in good shape and offers a year warranty. Aside from only selling cars that are in great shape and ensuring that theyre of quality, Rob is also just an incredibly stand-up guy. In contrast to the used car salesmen stereotype, Rob never tries to upsell you something that you dont need and is reliably honest. Hes also enjoyable company for the process of car shopping. You sincerely cares about the customer.Not only did I truly feel Rob had my best interests at heart in selling me my car, hes continued to be an excellent resource since the sale was finalized. Due to no fault of either of ours, my catalytic converter was stolen with in the first weeks of driving my new car. When I reached out to Rob, before I knew what specifically was wrong with my car, he was immediately responsive and helpful. Once I realized what had occurred, he even took care to try and get me a better deal on the replacement.I cannot recommend Octane Automotive enough. If youre looking for a used car, in good condition and fairly priced, Robs your guy.

I had a great experience working with the employees getting a car. However after being told everything on the car was checked out and working great, no more then 2 months later my transmission went out. And to top that a month after getting a new transmission my shift lever started going out. I was obviously lied too and felt very taken advantage of by Octane Automotive.

I purchased a Truck form Octane automotive, I wanted a specific truck and they went to work, it was so cool they talked to all of their connections all around the country and found my truck in Arkansas, had it shipped up to me so I could look at it, they took a risk by shipping the truck to MN because if I didnt like it they bought it, it all worked out but it was the honesty and transparency that sold me on Octane automotive, unlike anyone else in the car business, before you buy a Used car reach out to Rob and see what he can do for You!!
