My wife and I really appreciated Dan taking the time to walk through all our options and questions and make sure it was the right rig for us.We left feeling like we had made the right decision for sure.My wife: “Yeah. That was fun. That was a great experience!”

BUY WITH CONFIDENCE. Against my own advice, I bought a car here sight unseen. But after talking to Mike Sr and Mike Jr, they went out of their way to send me pictures of the underside (everything here in the Chicago area is all rusty!). They even offered to send videos! I flew out from Chicago and drove the car home! Very satisfied with my purchase!! My 16 year old son loves the car, especially since it’s a 5 speed! Thanks Mike and Mike!

We just purchased a very good condition used SUV from Auto Outlet and had one of the best car buying experience. The price was fairly listed and still willing to negotiate due to a dent and couple of scratches. No BS here like other dealerships such as, let me go to the back and ask my manager. Was in and out with my new used SUV within 2 Hours.

Flawless transaction and exceptional people to work with. Being 2,000 miles away made this a completely online purchase for me and one that required extra attention and paperwork on their side, Im sure, but everything was executed to perfection, all communication was timely and spot-on, and their professionalism and precision alleviated any trace of anxiety I may have had upon embarking on such a project. To Mike, Gabby and the rest of the crew, a big Thank You! and keep it up.

Bought a car from them. They decided to hide the fact the floors were completely rotten and the seats about to fall through when you sit in it. Awful people, I wouldn’t trust buying any vehicle from them. Stay far away and buy a car from someone else.

Have been looking for a Ford Ranger and happened across one online. I reached out and was immediately helped out by Mike who was very nice and worked with me on figuring out a price before I came down as I live over a hour away. When I get there Dan helped me out and the whole process was quick, smooth and easy. Not once was I ever rushed to purchase. Seriously cool guys here and will definitely purchase here again. Thanks Mike and Dan! Loving the truck!

Review №17

This place was great to buy a car from. I have been a salesman myself and certain types of salesmen put me on edge because I know the grind. Was totally at ease here. I called them up to inquire about a car they listed online and Dan was happy to read me of the car fox and mention what he knew about it. We scheduled a time to see the car with no stress. Showed up next day and looked her over, jumped right in and test drove it, no hassle. Negotiation was smooth and heat free. Went over numbers and rates. They got a minor problem fixed for free in the deal. They let me go home and talk it over with the wife with no pressure or sales lines. I called them up the next day and they drew up the papers over the phone. These guys were super chill to deal with. Would recommend the buying experience

Review №27

The car was in great condition. Dan and the gentleman in finance were both very friendly and willing to work with me on a fair deal (to negotiate price so I could do the one noted repair myself instead of at their expense). I had an appointment I had to get to, so they allowed me to put a small deposit down to hold the car until I was able to get back later in the day. All around a pleasure to deal with.

The customer service was straight-forward and not pushy. They were great to work with, especially after working with several other dealerships over the last few days. This dealership really stood out from the crowd. Its a family business thats been around for quite a while. Id recommend this business to anyone. Five stars. All the way.

Very friendly. I was looking in the market for a new vehicle, and the salesman Michael was AWESOME. Michael didnt try to sell me just anything and he gave me my space to look and browse. They had so many nice vehicles to choose from. I left please with a new charger. I would recommend anyone to visit them if in market for looking for a car.2/13/20Just bought my second vehicle from Auto Outlet.... I was pleased with the prices. Mike was very helpful on the knowledge of the car I was interested in.. there was no pressuring to get me in what they wanted I was able to look comfortably and find what I wanted. I left driving off the lot with big smiles and a brand new car....HATS OFF TO AUTO OUTLET

My husband purchased a car here and I was really impressed with the service he received. He had an issue with his bank and they were willing to work with him and help him. I had talk to them twice to help with the paperwork and down payment and even though it was clearly a stressful situation they were calm and friendly to me. I will definitely be keeping an eye on their inventory as Id like to buy a new to me car soon and we had such a great experience here.

Had a amazing experience! Bought a 2007 Suzuki XL7 from here everything went smooth. All the people who work here are extremely kind and honest! Gave me a great deal car is running smooth everything is working. Only thing was the car did end up having a oil leak which isnt to expensive to fix I should have did a buyers inspection. But they did refer me out to a mechanic who can fix the leak cheaper. But again nothing major not to costly of a fix. All vehicles they sell are in great condition inside and out! I am extremely happy with my purchase and still love my vehicle!

7th lot we went to today. Walked on the lot and met with Rusty and we looked at a 4x4 truck (blue book $7500). Drove our new truck home for $5400 out the door about an hour later. No pressure, no real haggling, just straight professionalism and courtesy. Highly recommended. Thanks Rusty.

Honest bunch of guys.Bought a 2012 Ford F-150 off of Mike down at Auto Outlet of Tacoma. The experience was great. No pressure, gave me all the information I asked for. The truck started squeaking on the drivers side front rotor/brake the next day. I brought it back, they listened to it, and put all new brakes, rotors, and calipers on, to make sure I was good to go. They weren’t liable but they still did the right thing. I would definitely go back and recommend them to anyone looking for a used vehicle.

Review №63

Purchased two cars a year ago.1 car has been great so far, but it is barely driven so I dont know if it would hold up to daily use.If you are looking for a mini Cooper for the love of everything go elsewhere. In just the first few comments you can see that the minis they sell break down. They bragged about how fast they fly out the lot, but failed to mention customers are complaining they dont go much further than their property line.First car failed after less than six months and it hasnt driven since then. I have three other cars so I held off on repairing the vehicle and my commute to work is almost within walking distance of my home. So I finally decided to get it repaired last month and Unfortunately the repairs equal to 85% of the cars initial price. I didnt buy a 2k clunker from the lot, and given the price I didnt expect it to fail within a few thousand miles of driving. I actually owe less on the loan than the price to fix it now.When I initially went to purchase my car I wanted to get into cars that were half the price and were actually the styles I wanted. No matter what car I picked in this range the loan people claimed there wasnt enough value for them to make a deal. At this price I would have made a down payment for half the price and would have paid the car off in a year. This tells me that their priority is to money not customers, which is unfortunate because the people who run the lot and use their loan services are nice people for the most part.In the end I feel like I was forced into buying this vehicle after several hours of tag with them. I actually mentioned that and they said that isnt the case but had no real options for me except for one other vehicle that wasnt anywhere near what I needed for fuel economy.I should have saved another month or two and outright purchased the vehicle I wanted, but circumstances (between jobs) then forced me put my faith in them. Unfortunately that was a mistake.While my family is much better off financially now paying almost 5,000.00 to repair a vehicle within six months after a purchase puts a burden on a family no matter their fiscal situation.I was planning on purchasing another vehicle from them this summer in the 10-15k range, but now I dont think I can confidently utilize their services for car purchasing again. I urge anyone who purchases a used vehicle from any lot to anticipate repairs equal to their purchase price unless buying a certified used car from a manufacturer backed dealer... And even then... be weary

Randy at Auto Outlet is such a great guy. He helped me get a (new to me) car within my budget with no hassle or yucky car salesman vibes. Such a sweetie!!!He was very knowledgeable and had the CarFax ready for me to review. The buying process was fast and painless.I highly recommend checking them out if you need a new rig. Their staff even put my new plates on when they arrived today AND I got a reimbursement check for the difference on estimated registration fees. Yay!

STAY AWAY from the place! This is definitely a scam of a business. They sold me a car on 6/7/2019 and a week later the transmission went out. Rusty took no ownership for it and basically blamed me and said I brought a used vehicle. This is by far the worst experience and customer service I’ve ever encountered. Rusty is a terrible human being and a shady salesman. BEWARE!

Would give this place zero stars if possible. Do NOT buy a car here. My parents bought a white Ford Escape at an agreed upon price of $4938. Then they saw the charge on their card for $5938 -- $1000 more than the sticker price of our car. They called the dealership and Brian Rusty Slater said You bought the silver Ford Escape for $5938. There had been a silver Escape at that price, but my parents explained that they bought the white one and were overcharged. Then his crony immediately changed their story and said that the white Escape had actually been $5938 and the silver one was $6938. They bullied my parents on the phone in a condescending manner, stating Ill bet you $100 youre wrong! and said that it was already a done deal. I can see from the other reviews that this is simply how they do business.Horrible customer service, shady business practices, and a very costly rip-off. Stay FAR away.

The experience buying the car was good, it was after I bought the car that it turned into a nightmare. I bought the car in January 2016, by May the clutch was going out. Got that repaired and a few months later the transmission started going out. Got that repaired and now something else is going horribly wrong with the car. Ive spent almost as much in repairs on the vehicle as I spent on the vehicle itself. $2,500.00 for the clutch, almost $4,000.00 on the Transmission and I have no clue how much this latest repair will cost, not counting all of the little stuff that Ive had to take care of. Buying that Mini here for my wife was one of the biggest mistakes Ive made.

I bought my car, left with it and was called 2 days later you need to come in with financials or we will take your car I had traded in my previous car and had no idea what this meant. Aparantly i was approved to take the car before a loan was approved. I got the loan approved and left with my car. BEFORE my license plate came in the check engine light started flashing. I called them asking what i should do. The person chuckled and said he could refer me to a mechanic they trust in South tacoma way. It ks now one year later, i have put 4k into this car to fix and it is sitting. I had to buy a new car to grt to work and my kids to school, thank goodness i have a mother who can help. Please do not buy a car here. I was fresh put of a divorce, never bought a car and totally naive, i could have gone to any trusted dealer and you should too.

Then they preceded to threaten her after she called them out and asked them to make it right. she was told she was going to be dragged in the street for ruining a potential sale that over herd what happened. she was left with no car and no money and was forced to file a lawsuit wall she takes the bus to doctors appointments.
