This is the third vehicle I've purchased with Mathison Motors. Kari took good care of me. I felt welcome and appreciated. My first vehicle even need major work and they worked with me to get it fixed and allowed me to make payments on the repairs. Every experience has been great!

And I want to see actually I wouldn't even give them one star. I have not had my car for 2 weeks and it is overheating the check engine light has been on and I don't even drive it everyday...

They are high priced, for high mileage vehicles. But so are all buy here, pay here dealers. I bought 2 trucks from them, because my credit was shot.

They took care pretty god care of me.

The lack of effort in their finance department is horrifying. Called to get an arrangement worked out during my layoff and was told to go donate plasma. Virtually no option to help. Not even pushing a payment back 2 weeks which I've done before but can't for some reason again. On time payments since buying otherwise and get a kick in the teeth in return.

At least other places like DM Motors work with you to keep
