I bought a 2007 ford ranger from a guy who bought it from this place, and can confirm at least 5 years later that the vehicle is still running strong! Some minor damage still leftover from the wreck, but mechanically no problems whatsoever. Great value for the money!

I paid 7,900 for a 2010 Chevy equinox. I immediately had issues with the vehicle. It started to smoke from under the hood within a week. I got it checked out it was the Cam which was repaired by an auto mechanic that Also noticed 2 components that had been disconnected. Once those components were plugged in the check engine light went off and now need a new engine. I was able to drive it 3 months before it went out of commission. I did notice one hose unplugged when looking at the vehicle and asked the dealer who said it was suppose to be like that. Come to find out that was not true. The Salvage

I bought my 2010 Ford F150 Lariat from them over a year ago and it has been a fantastic vehicle! It was exactly as they said it would be nothing more nothing less. They were really great to deal with and work with and went out of their way to accommodate me in a few little things. I would most definitely buy from them again! Good people!
