I bought my 2003 Toyota 4Runner from CAC 2/28/2020. With 306,o46 miles on her.. It is May 7th 2021. I love my truck. She is a tank. They gave me a great deal on my trade in. I couldnt be happier. This year she got new tires, rims and a lift kit.. We go everywhere together. I highly recommend Carolina Auto Connection ❣️

Joe was super helpful, very friendly and helped me get the truck I wanted with the best options for funding as well. He was a fantastic dealer!

One of the absolute best used car purchasing experiences you can ask for. Joe Was up front, honest, and extremely helpful though the whole purchasing experience. He even made added a few extras for me with out my asking due to the minor inconvenience of the weather and him not being able to clean the car. I could not be happier! Outside of the excellent customer service they offer reasonable warranties on their used vechicles that add great piece of mind to the use car buying experience!

I bought a Nissan Juke from Joe at The Auto Connection and had a wonderful experience. He has a no hassle policy. He treated me with respect, like he wanted me to buy any future vehicle from him. I love the car, it had everything I needed in a car. I did have a problem with the car cutting out on me.Joe had ordered a piece for the door lock as it was broken. When it came in he let us know so we could bring the car to him so his guys could put it on, free of charge. I happeded to mention having problems with the car and he told me to bring it in so they could figure it out. He didnt have to do this nor did I expect him to because I bought the car as is. He ordered the part and Ill have my car back in a few days.Joe is my car/truck guy from now on.Thanks Joe for all you do to keep this customer HappyCindy Street

Very helpful from start to finish. The vehicle (2012 Ford Fusion) was in pristine condition and still is running like new. Encountered an issue in receiving the title at the beginning but Joe worked extensively until it was all corrected. I really appreciate all the help. Will recommend him to others.

Joe is the best! He was very helpful and recommended the best car for my needs and budget. Very patient and communicative while waiting on the credit union for the loan approval. Once I was able to come pick up the car, it was cleaned and detailed. Joe was organized, helpful and friendly. I would definitely recommend him!

Stopped by to look at a car and the owner was very rude. He literally told me he couldn’t help me and all I wanted to do was look at the car and pay CASH for it if I liked it. Well Thank God I didn’t get that chance....because after reading all the negative reviews on here, I wouldn’t take one of his cars if he gave it to me!!!!!

Looked at a Jeep. Looked extremely clean in and out. Joe let me take it to a Jeep dealer for a pre purchase inspection. Dealer said it was good so i bought it. Joe didnt try to hide anything or be shady in any way. He even offered to buy me lunch. Had it for over a week and no issues at all. Would not hesitate to buy from him again. Thanks Joe

Awesome service and good reliable vehicles at reasonable prices. Joe goes the extra mile to make sure his cars are in good mechanical shape and safe for his customers. I highly recommend checking out his inventory if you are in the market for a good pre-owned vehicle!

This guy as you can see by previous reviews is nothing but a Typical Sleazy Used Car Sales men. I reported him and his Company to the State i hope they Shut him down for lying to peopleHe is a CROOK Sleazy used car sales menSAD AND SHAMEFULDO NOT BUY A CAR HERE---- RUNSave your self and money from Joe who is nothing but a Sleazy used car salesmen you can not trust a word out of his month

Joe here actually cares about the quality of his cars. His detailers are meticulous and very good. His prices are firm, true, but very fair. I just bought a Toyota 4Runner in excellent condition from Joe and I couldnt believe he was charging such a fair price on an old truck in such great condition. I drove 2 hours to see him and I wasnt disappointed. 10/10 would buy another truck from Joe. Joe isnt like any used car salesman Ive met. Hes got a very blunt and to-the-point way of telling you how it is. I respect that, personally. Other people might be turned off, and thats their loss. Great guy.

This was the first car I have ever purchased. I feel as if I got taken advantage of. Honestly this one star is just because I have a running car.Online ad said there was NOTHING wrong with this car, that it ran great and had no issues whatsoever. While it looked great on the inside, the outside was the issue.He claimed the car had been in a minor accident with some scratches to show for it in the back of the car. Not a big deal to me since they are not that noticeable.He also claimed that he had paperwork on the car from where it had been worked on recently. He showed me the paperwork and it had said there was recent work on the vehicle not even a work beforehand. This paperwork all had the same handwriting from different mechanics and overall didnt look right.He kept saying the car was a great car and he hadnt had any issues out of it. We took it for a test drive and sure enough, there is a horrible screeching noise when I braked. He said he had never heard that sound before and it was probably just the brakes. I trusted his word. He said he would have the car looked at and I could get it another day but I wasnt able to drive that far again. So he knocked off a measly $200 to pay for what was wrong with it.Sure enough, the sound gets worse on my way home but I try to keep a hopeful attitude about it.A week later, the noise is so bad that it is not from the brakes anymore, it happens whenever I even turn the steering wheel.I take it to a mechanic and sure enough, it was not the brakes, it was the wheel bearing.The wheel bearing was so bad that it was basically gone and it was welded to the axle. I had to buy a brand new axle and wheel bearing. The mechanic said that this couldnt have happened in the time that I had it and had to have been making noises before I even got it. He said he was shocked that the dealer didnt even fix this or notify us of this issue.Also, we found out that the rotors are warped and that the front passenger side tire was so bad that it could have blown on me at any point. After close inspection on the tire, you can see it is warped and bulging out on the inside where you cant see unless you were under the car and looking for it.It took Joe almost 10 days just to send my title and other important car documents to me. I had to email him multiple times, reminding him.My father (who used to work at a dealership and knows how this all works) and I had called Joe to ask him why he didnt tell us about the issues on the car since he clearly should have known. Joe got overly defensive and said we were calling him a liar and a scammer and that he didnt appreciate that. He said he took good car of the car and that him and his wife drove the car around. I find this highly unlikely.Overall, happy that I have a car, but to go through all of this was ridiculous. I was hoping that maybe I wouldnt have gotten scammed this one time by a dealership but I feel as if I did.Make sure to check the cars and take them to a trusted mechanic. Dont rely on just his word and the paperwork. Very disappointed. I hope to not find anymore problems with this car.EDIT:He just responded to my feedback. He admits to doing nothing wrong when that is NOT the case. He told me he didnt know what was wrong with the car. I trusted him when I really shouldnt have. Ive had to replace a good bit on this car now. Dont trust this guy. Just go somewhere else. As they say, you get what you pay for, but I paid more for what I got.

Never heard back had 8500 in cash they would never answer so I found a way better dealer

The guy who answered the phone today was RUDE & didnt want to answer questions we had about a vehicle they were selling. Lost out on a cash buyer. Nasty attitude so we took our business elsewhere.

If you are looking for a pristine used car, with a most hassle-free, respectable, transaction, run, don’t walk, to Carolina Auto Connection! Joe is the consummate friendly neighborhood dealership with a most welcoming attitude!After searching for weeks for a replacement car for myself after my wife got t-boned in my car (our only vehicle at the time) last month, I found my perfect car at Joe’s well kept tiny lot of premium used vehicles.From start to finish my every dealing with Joe was top notch! You would be remiss if you look anywhere else for your next vehicle!Thank you Joe for a phenomenal experience in the wake of a stressful event. Both myself and my wife will be repeat customers for years to come!I simply adore my Volvo and your kind helpfulness in completing the entire process!

Bought a Toyota Tacoma from this crook and it lasted 7 months 6,000 miles and boom motor done. Mechanic went through and said this thing was sugar coated for him to sell!! Contacted joe and he offers me a a used motor for 4,000 dollars. Look at reviews! The only good ones are left by him! AND JOE LIES AGAIN!!!! I take very good care of my vehicles. Drove my last Tacoma for 21 years!!! Please read all the other reviews! You need to be held responsible for your actions! Abuse??? Never even had it in 4wd. Why in the hell would I pay $10,000 for a truck and “abuse” it?? Shyster!! Do not buy from joe!! By the way I don’t know Emily Meyer. Just another person with a bad experience at Carolina Auto Connections!!

The Sales men Was a Typical Sleazy Used car salesmenI requested 3 times the total out the door cash price (I would think a car dealer would know the meaning if this) the FACT HE WOULD NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE CAR SHOULD HAVE WARNED ME He did NOT went back an forth then tried to charge me 3 separate fees including a $199.00 tag transfer fee That cost $38.00 at The DMV then tried to use the Covid excuse he couldnt go to DMV . This is why the term SLEAZY USED CAR SALESMEN COMES FROM.SAD AND SHAMEFUL I AM NOW IN THE PROCESS OF FILING A COMPLIANT WITH ALL THE ONLINE CAR COMPANIES I FOUND THIS LISTING ON CARGURUS AS WELL AS FILING A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB.. MY ADVICE IS TO STAY AWAY FROM SLEAZY CAR DEALERS LIKE THIS GUY

Im from Minnesota and found a vehicle on Carolina Car Connections lot in Spartanburg. Ive never purchased a vehicle sight unseen before but Joe Cahan described the vehicle to us and the group of photos he furnished gave me the confidence to move forward. I contacted an auto transport broker and vehicle was dropped at our front door one week later. We took care of the paperwork with Joe via the USPS and my Mrs. has named her new Escape Spartan! Thanks Joe!

I cannot say enough good things about Joe and my experience at Carolina Auto Connection. Dealing with Joe is straightforward and without games. The cars he handles, from what I could see on the small lot, are the cream of used cars. And they have been cleaned and inspected, and it shows.I had a problem -one that surprised both Joe and me!- with the car I bought and Joe worked with me to solve it quickly and without hassle.I live in Durham, and drove down to Spartanburg because the car I bought was exactly what I wanted. I know that I will make that drive again when I am looking for another car, and recommend my friends to the same.Just a rock solid experience.Lee

Bought a car from this place in 2012 and had to wait over thirty days for the title. When the title came it was filled out wrong by the dealership, had to drive down to Spartanburg from Mills River NC to try to get it corrected and was told to get off the property or they would call the police. Not a way to treat someone who pays cash. Run away from this place

This was my third time going to a dealer after dealing mostly with private sales. My experience with Joe was by far the best. Discussion was easy, straightforward, and I didnt feel pressured to leave the lot with a car. I did end up purchasing my most recent car from him and Im very happy that I did. The price for the car was more than fair and I got a great deal for my trade-in. Overall, very pleased with my experience!

Have bought two cars from Joe. An infinity G35 and a recently Dodge 1500. I got great service from Joe and have enjoyed the vehicles. I recommend going here to get a good used car for your money.

I drove off the lot and had a maybe 15 minute test drive with the vehicle. I drove all the way from Lawrenceville Georgia roughly around 2 hours. I purchased this dealership. Please stay away from here. The guy is a high-pressure salesman with a attitude of a rattlesnake. He said I will be extremely happy with the vehicle and there is noting wrong with it, that was not the case. I bought a 2007 Honda Odyssey which seems to be in great condition. When I got back to Atlanta after driving it on the highway for 2 hours I noticed when I hit the brakes there was severe shaking. I had my mechanic to check it out he said you had warp rotors. Front and rear were replaced at the cost of $400. When I gas up not too far from the dealership I kept smelling burning oil. He stated it was from the oil change they performed on the vehicle. When I got back to Georgia I continued to smell the burning oil and later mechanic check it out and there was an issue with the oil solenoid. The part alone from the dealer is $650. Next I woke up this morning thinking that it was a battery issue I had AAA to come out to run Diagnostics. It turned out to be the alternator. The cheapest part I can go without remanufacturing was $485 for a alternator. Keep in mind I only had the van a few weeks. I called him to explain he got very defensive very angry yelling and screaming. Ive already paid cash for the van $5300. I didnt get my title yet he keeps saying that he is going to send it I had to call him twice still no title. However my mechanic said that he was very disappointed about some of the problems that van were having. I was concerned that I have children in the van could have broken down putting my family in jeopardy. The dealer thinks Im making this up but I pictures to show it. When he was telling me the van he stated that this is a great van you will love this van easy sales pitch but when I presented the problems I had after the vehicle for week he said oh its a used van. I was pulled over twice by the police regarding this temporary tag in Georgia. I live in Gwinnett County we have one of the toughest police jurisdiction in the state. I work for Gwinnett County and I had to tell two officers I just purchased miss van. there wasnt any problem I still had to present my paperwork if I had the title like he promised I would have had my tags by now. On 10/30/2018, received an altered titled with an affidavit. I dont even know it is transferable now because of the mistakes he made on it. Its not signed transferring it to me. The van was listed as respossed which was disclosed to me. The van wont pass emissions due to the catalytic converter.

The prices were fair and Joe was great to work with. He was very willing to help us out through the whole process even though we were coming from out of state. Thanks Joe!

Joe has gone above & beyond to help me! I was looking at a truck that sold to someone else, he told me he would find something else for me, but how many times do dealers say that? So I kept looking...but he called! He found what seemed to be a great deal...at another dealership!!! He took me with him and we went to look at it! He bought it that day until I could get financing secured!By the way, when my bank wouldnt finance me, he suggested a credit union and they approved me the same day! When my insurance company was way too high, he suggested his personal agent that saved me almost HALF what I was paying before, even adding a new vehicle!He also ordered running boards and new tires that we are waiting to arrive and will have installed when they come in. I expect that I will be as satisfied with the service on those as I have been with everything else so far.Did I mention that he has gone above & beyond to help? He is very direct, matter of fact, and straight, some may not like that, but I appreciate it!Thanks Joe!

Joe was extraordinary! Never have I come across a dealer more friendly, unbelievably helpful, and most importantly - absolutely honest. A wonderful experience.

Bought an incredibly nice 2010 for Explorer with 74,000 miles...it looks perfect...only has it for 2 weeks...praying it last my daughter through 5 years of college! Excellent service!

Was interested in a car listed on his website and was willing to drive an hour and half to see car and possibly buy. He told me it was on hold for past 3 days and would not sell it today. He had someone else coming at 5 to see it again. I asked what his policy was on holding cars for potential buyers and he got ugly with me and said it was his business and he could do whatever he wants. Spoke very rude to me!! Would never buy from him. Terrible customer service!!

Called to ask about a vehicle and the person told me they didn’t have all the information on the vehicle. I ask for a sales person and they told me they were the owner. I ask if they could get me the information and they said they don’t keep every car memorized.I said that’s fine could you give me the information and they said they were closed for the day. I said your sign says you’re open till seven. They told me that sign is 11 years old. I said OK so you are closed earlier than your sign says and I was told especially because it’s raining today call back another day. Without a doubt the worst service I’ve ever experienced.

We drove two hours from Tennessee with two toddlers in tow. It was at the end of a long day looking for a good, family van. After seeing the van we had in mind, we knew almost immediately we would purchase it. Everything on it has been working great. Joe has been very accommodating. He’s checked on us a couple of times too, to make sure the van is still working well. Would recommend him to friends and family.

Great used car dealership! Bought a truck from this place not too long ago. Fair price for their cars, great service, and joe the owner is the nicest guy you’ll meet. Would definitely recommend and will be looking here for my next truck before I look anywhere else

We recently purchased a Toyota Highlander from Carolina Auto Connection. The car was immaculate and all service records were provided for us. Joe was respectful and kind to my husband and myself. Weve had the vehicle for about 3 weeks with no issues.

Great cars and great service.

I was looking for a nice priced vehicle with less the 75,000 miles on it. I came across Joe and Carolina Auto Connections and found a 2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GT, with just under 75,000. I drove out to meet with Joe, who was very accommodating as to the meeting time. The car was in excellent condition and drove very well. I hadnt even noticed there were a few cracks in the dash near the defrost vents, due to time and normal wear from sun exposure and heat, and Joe pointed them out to me. I found his demeanor to be refreshing and friendly. I did have a slight issue with the title, but that was not the dealers issue, and Joe handled it quickly and efficiently. This car was for my son to share, and I wouldnt have purchased it if I didnt feel safe to allow him to drive it and this car was just great! I already know where I am going when it comes time to get my daughter a car when she gets her license. I would also like to add that he had some decent priced warranty programs, which I did take advantage of because, after all, is a used vehicle and protecting my investment in property and the safety of the son is to important.Thanks Joe!

Joe is such a nice and honest guy. We bought a great Toyota Tundra from him at a steal of a price! Anything we asked joe to fix or look at on the truck he did with no problem at all!! To top it all when we took the truck back to Joe a few days after purchase for his mechanic to fix a minor issue that he made sure we knew was needing repaired before we even test drove the truck not only was the repair made in a fast timely manner we also got the truck back with new front brakes and rotors!! Caroline Auto Connection is definitely the way to go if you are in the market for a new vehicle.

Good experience. Joe made it an easy process. Purchased a e350 coupe. Great vehicle.

Joe is a super great guy and a man of his word me and my fiancé could not be more excited with our purchase

I decided it was time for another car. I had seen this red Volvo on line. The next morning I went to look at it. I test drove It twice and decided to buy it on the spot. It was in impeccable condition for a 1998 model. They gave me a fair price for my trade and by 2 pm I was driving home in it. It was a very pleasurable experience without out the typical snarky used car games many dealers play. And also there was no fake document fee! I would recommend them highly. They have a great selection of autos in all price points.

I just bought my second car from Joe at Carolina Auto Connection. I traded in the 2000 model I bought from him in 2013 and moved up in cars to a 2002! He was great to work with both times. I really like the cars I bought - they were older used cars, but nice and in my price range.The check engine light came on the night I drove my 2002 home - I was in a panic! First thing the next morning he returned my call, told me not to worry, give him a chance to check it out. Brought his mechanic to my work, they hooked the machine up to my car and it was the GAS CAP! He opened the gas cap, put it back on and the Check Engine light went off. They didnt even laugh at me. He even called me the next day. I am waiting for the paperwork/title stuff but dont expect any problems - it went smoothly last time, Go check out his cars, he has good cars, for good prices and is great to work with, Thanks Joe!

Mr Joe was great his cars are reasonable n dependable... Thank you Mr Joe

Good people, quality used cars. Would use again without hesitation.Probably the easiest and most fun Ive had buying a car. Found the car on auto trader while I was in Atlanta, drive to the lot a few hours later and after a thorough once over of the vehicle I signed some paperwork and the deal was done.

I am very happy with my purchase at Carolina Auto Connection.I bought a car that I was not happy with and Joe let me trade it! Thats something not just any car dealer would do. I am now happy to say, I am in love with my Lexus and wouldnt trade it for any other vehicle! Thanks again for everything you did for me and thanks to JD for getting me in an A+ ride at a great price.Very Satisfied,Sandy

One of the worst experiences dealing with somebody about buying something Ive ever seen. Rude from the start on the phone, set up an appointment to meet him and when I got there he was not even open.called the next day said he had a bug sorry he missed me but he could have called and gave me a message telling me he was not going to make it, And what he said on the phone didnt line up with what he had advertised. If I could give him a zero on this thing I would.

I dont know who this person with the negative review saw - because thats certainly way different than my experience at this place. I am so happy with the car I purchased, and the whole experience of shopping there was quite pleasant and even fun. There are lots of options for used cars in the Upstate, but Im so glad that I found Carolina Auto Connection. I love my car!

Excellent Service! We worked directly with the owner who was very patient with us and bent over backwards to help us work out the details for our trade in and necessary financing. I will shop here first the next time im in the market for another vehicle. Very down to earth, not pushy, overall a great experience!

This is joey mabry you can vist my facebook im from Morristown TN I work in sc from Tennessee my car broke down I searched everywhere for the right car I found Carolina auto connection from the first call on the experience was great josh remembered me by voice walking to the door I appreciate everything josh and joe for everything

I recently bought a 2009 Infiniti qx56 from Joe. The day I went to pick it up the tire pressure light was on and he had me take it to his guy who fixed it. A few days later the check engine light came on he sent it to his guy and took care of that issue as well. I knew I wasnt buying a brand new car and appreciate the fact he toom care of the issues with no problem. He seems to shoot straight and I like to do business that way.

Purchased my first big girl car at CAC a few weeks ago. Im a big Honda lover and although it was hard to let my 1999 Honda Accord (Tank) go, I am so blessed with my 2012 Honda Civic. Friendly team him and summer and friendly service. I know if I need anything they will be there to help :) look forward to continuing to work with them.

If I could give zero stars I would! I emailed them about a car specifically talked with Joseph Cahan. He was VERY rude in the email rather than just answering a simple question about a car (which apparently he gets the same question) I got nothing but attitude. Obviously if they get the same question maybe they should fix it. Great business, would definitely not recommend even talking with them.

You may notice the owner left multiple fake reviews for his own business. Also, left one star reviews on rival car sales. Do not trust this place.

If I could leave 0 stars I would. When I test drove the car it seemed fine but on the way home from purchasing it several days later I noticed a skipping or jerking. I called Mr Cahan and he tried to assure me that some cars just do that but with further persistence he had me take it to someone he had an account with to service the transmission. That didnt fix the issue and its been one problem after another ending with me paying for a $3000 transmission for a car I havent even had 3 months. Mr. Cahan told me he takes pride in the cars he sells but when given the opportunity to somehow make this situation right I was given no response. Do yourself a favor, go anywhere else!

Purchased a 2001 Honda Civic from Joe Cahan. Extremely helpful, informative, and courteous. Went out of his way multiple times to help me and answer my questions.

Wasted our time. Poor communication. Time listed on website is wrong. Drove 2 hours to check out a vehicle that was already sold, after emailing them about which car we were coming to look at. They werent even here when we got here, which was before their listed closing time, and then was very rude when I called and acted like it was my fault. (Got there at 6, listed closing time is 7).Wish I would have spent my time looking elsewhere.

Very simple process. Very patient during my decision process since this will be my sons first car. Very nice and courteous follow up after sale. Highly recommend.

Great vehicle at a very fair price. Joe knows his business well and fixed a few minor issues that were found on inspection without hesitation. Would definitely do business with him again.

I purchased a 2002 4Runner from here. I drove all the way from Atlanta because no one else had the type of vehicle I wanted in good condition. I read the Google reviews on CAC prior, and almost decided not to deal with this dealer because of the negative reviews. I can only speak for my experience, but I found the car exactly as it had been described, the Carfax checked out, the mechanic I used gave it a good review, and my experience was fast and efficient. I was provided receipts for work performed and the drive-out price was exactly what we had agreed upon over the phone. Not sure what else I would expect from a used car dealer, so I am giving this experience a good rating.

I cannot tell you enough how far away you need to stay from this place. I bought a truck for my husband that in Joes exact words was 100 %. Less than three weeks of under 100 miles 1-2 times a week later, I now have to spend another $3000 to get the transmission rebuilt and a few other things that were trashed in the meantime fixed as well. The thing is, he seems so genuine and I made the mistake of trusting him. I guess the used car salesman stereotype is deserved after all by some people. I would hate to see anyone else be in my situation after dealing with him. Please just stay far, far away and maybe we can put a stop to this happening from at least one place. No sales, no business, simple enough.

After a couple of months of doing research and searching for an older Subaru Outback that hadnt been driven to death, I was getting really tired of salesmen trying to sell an unsuspecting female their flood babies and rolling disasters. Then, *cue angel chorus* I came across an 06 Outback at CAC. Very well taken care of, garage kept and in great condition, with just a couple of minor issues, needing wiper blades and a bit of window work on the drivers side. Joe took care of both while remaining courteous, informative without being pushy and amazingly accomodating around my complicated schedule-both before and after the sale. He even had it cleaned up and vacuumed after fixing the window. I love my Scooby-do (Subaru)and would buy from him in the future. Im happy with my car buying experience!

Joe at Carolina Auto Connection did a great job working with me on a good deal on a great car. He is great to deal with. Sells autos like he post them on website.

I have purchased three vehicles (Trail Blaser, Ford Ranger, and Nissan Murano) from Joe in the past 12 months. Extremely happy with each purchase. Good deals. GREAT service before AND after the sale. If you are looking for a good used vehicle, no haggle pricing, from an honest dealer.....Go see JoeJust to add to this.....the trail blazer we bought over a year ago developed a problem. My personal mechanic had retired and closed up shop. Called joe for a referral to who he uses. Got the vehicle towed over and fixed in two days at a very reasonable price. Impeccable service after the sale.Thanks JoeDon

I read the reviews before visiting the lot. I also did lots of shopping on the internet before deciding to visit despite the reviews. I am SO GLAD I didnt listen to a few disgruntled idiots.1st, I was looking for USED car, not new. I certainly understand the difference. Fact is Joe apparently does his research and prices is vehicles BELOW most of the competition in that market. I came down from NC and was met with nothing but cordiality. For anyone to claim unprofessionalism...well, maybe they need to look at their own disposition.I had a great buying experience, very little paperwork (nothing unnecessary), and I now have a perfect used car! that gives me NO trouble.I dont know what issues those reviewers showed up with, but I found Joe to be upfront about my vehicle, his role in putting me in it, and that it was sold AS IS after a thorough 60 some-odd point inspection. I guess only complain when things dont go their way...but I am writing this to let all you prospective drivers NOT to be discouraged by a few dummies.I was 100% happy with my experience!

Joe is a crook and a sorry excuse for a car dealer. Would NEVER do business with! dont just walk away from this place, RUN! Look at these reviews. 2 of the 5 star reviews say the exact same thing and are under two different names and posted 5 months apart. Its bad when the only good reviews you get are the ones you fake. If you are looking to buy a car please look somewhere else!

I bought a 2006 Chevy Trailblazer from CAC..I couldnt be happier with my car. It is exactly as advertised. The car runs good and is in great shape it looks good.

Great customer service and hospitality by the owner Joe and staff on the purchase of my Mini Cooper

I had been searching for a Mini Cooper Convertible with very specific criteria (low miles, heated seats, color) for a couple of months. This one came up an Carolina Auto and we talked to the owner about the condition of the vehicle and bought it sight unseen! After spending hours trying to get a shipping company to ship it half-way across the country, I ended up flying out last minute from Colorado with my husband to pick it up and drive it home. They were very accommodating, they had to re-do all the paper work as they had mailed it to us. They even had it cleaned again and everything double checked for the long drive. The car drove perfectly and we are very happy with our purchase and the customer service we received. Joe even called to see that we made it home safely after our 24 hour drive!

DO NOT BUY A VEHICLE FROM HERE!!! I should have read these other reviews!!! The owner Joe is one of the most disrespectful and dishonest people I have ever dealt with. I purchased a 2006 Range Rover Sport which was advertised to be in excellent condition. It wasnt... not even close. I showed up to find all the rims were damaged, the radio had broken buttons that were glued back on, the woodgrain was cracked, the key was broken, the rear cover was broken, and a host of other issues/imperfections. I purchased the car anyway due to the maintenance records, but it turns out those were doctored to make it look like the vehicle had been well maintained. Two weeks later, I am spending $3300 in repairs. Yes, you read that right... $3300!! I called Joe to discuss the issues I was having and he screamed at me on the phone, told me I was an idiot for fixing anything on the car, and then slammed the phone down. This is the first of many reviews. Going forward, I plan to devote a significant amount of time to educating people about how crooked this dealership and its owner, Joe, is!!!

We live in south alabama about a mile from the florida line . we saw this truck online went spartanburg sc bought the truck and drove it back without any problems grate truck just what joe said it was......... It was a good experience with and honest and helpful person he also called us the next day to ask us if we did ok on the trip home ... Thanks JOE

My car broke down within 20 mins of leaving the lot! The said they would fix it, came up with some excuse as to what happened, assured me that it was fixed, it then broke down 2 more times! And they refused to take the car back. A year later I have pored more than 1000 bucks into the car that they claim was mechanically sound. This place is a straight up joke. DO NOT BUY FROM THEM! Nothing but lemons!

Bought a 2008 Cevy Equinox from this place on 3/16/17 I understood the car was being sold as is. But after driving away with the vehicle that day the check engine light came on. I took it to my mechanic and I was told it was a error for needing to replace the timing chain. I then had it taken to Chevy of Spartanburg where they checked the vehicle and saw that it had an error code eraser a month earlier. But since SC laws dont protect the customer I am stuck with the vehicle and an additional $2000 repair job. The owner did say he could get the vehicle repaired cheaper than my mechanic but cheaper does not always mean done correctly. So my advice is beware of this seller

At the end of May, at no fault of my own, I was in a fender bender. My transportation for 3 jobs was gone and it’s was a highly stressful situation. I started looking for a car immediately. I needed a 4 door and drive ready car for the mountains. I commute weekends, and reability was key! I found an 04 Mazda on CAC’s website. I called and made an appt to come see the car. Joe took me and my boyfriend on a fantastic test drive. While driving, he told me all about the features and history of the car, and recent maintenance. When we got back from the test drive he also showed me a bunch of extra “tune up” parts/supplies that the original owners had left with the car.At the time I did not have insurance affairs settled, but I asked that he keep me in mind if anyone was interested in the car, to please let me know. I could try and figure SOMETHING out to get this car! It was too good to pass up!A few days pass, and all is settled. I call the dealership and Tina arranged a time for paperwork. While she patiently went over each document with me, my car was taken and washed up shiny!I was also given all of the extra supply parts!When I was about to leave, Joe noticed the windshield wipers needed to be replaced. He called up to O’Reillys to let them know I was coming and would need help. In my way home, I went by and he had charged the wipers to his account! Such a nice surprise!This buying experience was the least stressful part of this whole ordeal. I highly recommend Carolina Auto connection!Thanks Joe and Tina!

Our visit was great with Joe. We came looking for my 16 year old daughter, for a car, and everything went smoothly.

Wonderful experience with these guys. Super knowledgeable and tremendously helpful in getting me in the perfect car!!

Carolina Auto Connection gave great service and answered every question I had. I recommend shopping with them.

First off, lets start with Joe, the owner who handles every purchase. The first thing Joe will do like any other car salesman will do is shake your hand when you first approach them about one of their vehicles. You get into conversation about one of the vehicles you are interested in and then tells you its a great running vehicle and all the goods about it. Like 90% or higher of used car salesman, they will not tell you whats wrong with it unless you can just tell for yourself. I am mechanically inclined by the way. And when you point anything out, thats when they really show you their true self. Hence, this is all after I signed the papers and gave him $4,057 and traded in my personal 2007 Dodge Caliber with absolutely no mechanical issues except the normal wear and tear things.So, onto the vehicle. I purchased a $6000 2007 Dodge Nitro as of 1/3/18. 139k miles, very nice cosmetically (and mostly mechanical), and aftermarket wheels with new tires. On 1/4/18, I go to crank up my newly owned vehicle at 4:45 am to get ready to go to work, turn on the heater to get it warm and ready to drive off. So, 10 minutes later, I get in and barely any heat. I thought to myself, ok maybe it just needs a little more time to heat up by driving it. I live 17 miles from my job and immediately get on an interstate a mile away from home. So about 10 miles down the road, the heat just wasnt getting any warmer. So that afternoon after work, I call Joe and tell him the heat is not working. He says bring it by. I bring it by, he says hell have his mechanic look at it and I left it there. He said hell call me when its fixed.1/5/18 : I start work and waited for a phone call.....No phone call. So, we were able to leave work early at 2. I call Joe and ask him if it was fixed and he said it was fixed, but I could also tell he was being rude the way he was using his words. So when I get there, I walk into his office, he hands me the key and says, Dont come back very rudely. I say thank you even though he just disrespected me. I get into my Nitro, drove for several miles only to realize that the heat was indeed not fixed. It was ever so slightly warmer, maybe 3° warmer, still not enough to defrost a window. This is winter and when heat is very much needed.Needless to say, this person only cares about money and once you sign those papers, he doesnt care from that point on. Please take this review very seriously before considering thinking about doing business with Joe.Also, I will and have no problem admitting if I was wrong, but I have absolutely no reason to lie about the way this man handled what was suppose to be The Little Dealer, with the Big Heart business.If my review has helped you make the decision to stay away from this dealer, please hit the button that says did this review help you or whatever it is so I know at least people are listening to it and saving you big problems and your money. Thanks for taking the time reading my review and good luck with your car purchase elsewhere.

Run away from this place! These guys are dishonest crooks. Sold us a car with a repossessed title and did not disclose dispite having asked. We found out the car was repossessed two weeks later when we got the title in the mail. It didnt show up on a title check because they never transferred the title to their own name. They straight up lied about it, said they got the car from a dealer.

I read the reviews before visiting the lot. I also did lots of shopping on the internet before deciding to visit despite the reviews. I am SO GLAD I didnt listen to a few disgruntled idiots.1st, I was looking for USED car, not new. I certainly understand the difference. Fact is Joe apparently does his research and prices is vehicles BELOW most of the competition in that market. I came down from NC and was met with nothing but cordiality. For anyone to claim unprofessionalism...well, maybe they need to look at their own disposition.I had a great buying experience, very little paperwork (nothing unnecessary), and I now have a perfect used car! that gives me NO trouble.I dont know what issues those reviewers showed up with, but I found Joe to be upfront about my vehicle, his role in putting me in it, and that it was sold AS IS after a thorough 60 some-odd point inspection. I guess only complain when things dont go their way...but I am writing this to let all you prospective drivers NOT to be discouraged by a few dummies. I was 100% happy with my experience!

Do not buy a car from this place!!!! it is a joke! i drove all the way over here from Greenville to look at a Nissian 4 door pickup truck, was told it was in perfect running condition. Joe thinks it was kept in a garage, then he claims his mechanic just finished going over it. Joe starts the car and nothing, he says i told him to check the battery cable it was loose. NO it was not loose it was dead, but okay he jumps the car we wait a few to test drive it. AS WE ARE SITTING THERE THE TRUCK RUNS OUT OF GAS!!! My wife says thank you very much and have a nice day. If your thinking of buying something keep going right past it and wave bye bye. If this is how there mechanic is looking at things I have some swamp land i will sell you!

Rippppppped us offfff! total us they were adding on the amount we were going to have to pay for our title tax in GA. the lady said she called and asked the dmv how much it was and that they told her the sales tax was 4%. welllllll allll lies!!!!!!! GA has not had a SALES TAX since 2013 and have had a TAVT of 7% since. So this lady googles her information from 2013 not 2017 and lied to us about it. When I called to see if they would somehow try to fix the mistake they said they did nothing wrong and our business was done. also to tie into another one of these reviews by JM they also sent us a reopsession title that was never in their name to begin with!

There are some really bad reviews and really great reviews on here for CAC. one of the 5 star reviews is from the salesman who sold me my truck. the truth is in the middle. i drove an hour to get a truck i really wanted. i knew exactly what i was getting. they didnt tell me that they just had it painted and the ad said nothing about it. the paint job is mediocre. they sold it to me with 2 empty gas tanks. and i mean empty. the transmission already needs a rebuild. i knew this but they said nothing about it. its an older truck so these things are to be expected. the title didnt come till a day before the dealership registration expired. overall im giving 3 stars because they were nice and easy to deal with. to get 5 stars they need to be more detailed, upfront, and put some gas in the vehicle.****** Its been almost a year now and my truck is still running great!!!! Ive upped my review to 4 stars.

Came away with a great used truck that fit our needs and price.

A friend told me about Mr. Joe at Auto Conn and they are the best.

Gave C.A.C. our price range and they found a car that was unbelievable. Look forward to coming back! Thank you!

Perfect customer support, honest on description of vehicle. Would shop again at this dealership.

Great job. Very friendly and helpful.

Keep up the good job

Im proud of the service yall gave us. I will tell and share the present of your service.

Sold me a car with SERIOUS mechanical issues. all other problems aside, the fact that the brakes were dangerously in need of repair is unforgivable. do not trust these people. do not buy from these people.

Got good deals

Poor service. Owner has a bad attitude.

Very pleasant
