Blue Rhino Motors

Many thanks to Blue Rhino Motors for a wonderful used car! I purchased a Honda Pilot from Fred and Mario several months ago and have been very pleased with the car which runs great and is in excellent condition. This was my first time buying a used car from a dealer and at first I did not know what to expect. I had done some initial research and was referred to Blue Rhino Motors. Not only were Fred and Mario extremely professional and knowledgeable, but they were very upfront and honest about the car and the price. They handled all the paperwork for me and they followed-​up several times to make sure the car was still running well and that I was satisfied with the purchase. Needless to say, they made the whole process of buying a used car hassle-​free and I would most definitely purchase another car from them in the future. Thanks again, Blue Rhino, for a great deal.

My wife wanted a suv for work and taking our daughter to school. We shopped around and these guys had a low mileage and reasonably priced Jeep Grand Cherokee. Test drove it, drove and sounded fine. I noticed the check engine light was on, I did let them know. They said they would take care of it while we took care of the paper work. We ended up taking it. These guys were cool what could go wrong. A+ customer service, they weren’t pushy at all. Turns out after 2 years when the jeep had to be smoged that the mechanics who they employ just took the check engine light bulb out, they didn’t fix the problem. It didn’t pass smog and I was left kind of pissed off. Luckily I’m good with tools and it was just a $ 50 sensor and a $ 5 broken vacuum hose. This would of been an 5 star review if it weren’t for the mishap. I guess buyer beware. Jeep is still going strong so 3 stars

Unfortunately, our experience here turned sour after one month of purchasing from Blue Rhino. We have put over $ 2k on repairs for the car we purchased from here. First off, the computer for the car was completely broken, which we found out within the first couple of weeks, we then had to replace the starter (still within the first month), and one week ago, we found out that 3 of the tires were completely worn down… We do not drive this car often and have only had it for a few months.
I hate to call these guys scammers, but I can’t help but to regret our purchase.
*** it is now February (still less than a year since car was purchased) The ‘gentlemen’ that work here claim to care and have claimed to help but we still have yet to see *anything* happen. Last week we had an antifreeze leak. This is absolutely ridiculous. Anyone that would sell this broken money-​pit must have some sort of bad karma coming to them.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS DEALERSHIP ! THEY HAVE «SPECIALS» of $ 14,900 good luck getting that financed ! Their in house finance are crooks there is the man with the white hair all over his face which is the finance rep, my special went up to $ 23,900. Do the math I basically can buy 2 cars for that price, and not to mention it was a 2006 Bmw 328i BEWARE AND STAY AWAY !

I don’t know where to begin on how dishonest everyone that works there is… I would not trust them at all. Your better off buying a car from craigslist. They told me that there was nothing wrong with the x5 I bought. That it was in great condition they said. But the next morning my driveway was full of oil. A week later my car overheated on the freeway. Two weeks after that my steering wheel wouldn’t turn. I called Mario all he did was talk in circles and made no sense. Fred said I’ll take care of it we just want you to be happy. That was a LIE! He made me take it to their mechanic. That he would fix everything … That was a LIE! I got my car back and found out they had the mechanic Mickey mouse everything! Everything that was to be fixed wasn’t. I almost got in a accident with my kids in the car, due to their LYING to me about my car. And the owner «mike» doesn’t even care about anything but himself… He told me «what do you want I don’t have time to talk» ‚” You bought the car not me deal with it”. An told me that I wouldn’t be the first this has happened to. I wish I could post pictures of how my driveway looks and the overheating spills it left everywhere. I wish I would’ve have never step foot on that lot. I’m paying for a vehicle that sits in my driveway with a cheap extended warranty that doesn’t cover anything! They are crooks! Take your business to a legitimate dealership. not one in the ghetto! If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck…

Really is amazing to see there are still very good and honest people in the world… I purchased a used 5 series BMW through Fred at Blue Rhino and I had a service light come on after my purchase and Mike (the owner) immediately said bring it back and we will make it right because that should not have happened. He gave me his word and went above and beyond what I had even expected. Mario, Fred and Mike are all great I can’t say enough! These guys care about you being happy with your purchase and are all about building a lasting relationship with their customers. I will never go anywhere else… They have my business for life.

I purchased my 2004 Mustang from here over a year ago. The car is a gem and I am still driving it.
I chose to finance through the dealer, which offered me Chase Bank. I was told that I either had to purchase a warranty I did not want, or they would add percentage points to my loan.
I chose the warranty since I knew I could cancel it within the first year. Make a long story short the warranty company refunded Blue Rhino the warranty money. After weeks of calls to claim they send a check to Chase. It took months for Mike to refund the money.
Lastly, when I picked up the car they left the gas on empty. The tank was so empty the light was on and almost didn’t make it to the gas station. After spending almost $ 10k, they were too cheap to put $ 10 of gas?

Absolutely the best place to buy a good car from good people! They helped me go from a corolla to a BMW, hassle free! Amazing customer service.

I love Blue Rhino! Such a great place to buy a car! I was looking for a 3-​series and their Rhino logo kept pupping up on all the websites… So I figured I should check them out since they have so many BMWs in my price range. I called and they made me feel welcomed and not pressured. Once I came to the lot I was like «Wow!» This place is so clean, polished and all the cars look like brand new! We drove 2 cars that I chose online and sure enough I fell in love (with the car). My financing took less then 20 min… I called my honey to tell him the details and he had no objections because my price was very reasonable and my interest on the loan they got me with Chase was crazy low. Farid, the finance manager there, is very good at it what he does! It has been 3 weeks since I bought my baby and I couldn’t be happier! I will defiantly be back! I feel Iike I found a great connection for used car buying. Thanks guys, I appreciate your hard work, the deal you gave me and the level of service you provided! I will see you all again

Great car selection (especially for this area) and a great car buying experience! First time buyer and they really worked it out for my to get a 3 series!

I don’t even know where to begin my praises for Blue Rhino, specifically Mario and Fred!
My situation was as follows:
Both our minivan and my classic car broke down within 48 hrs. With a family of 6, transportation is key and since I work in Surgery and having to constantly be on call (having to be able to make it to the hospital within 30 mins.), I realized it was time for a new vehicle.
Experiencing a severe financial hardship due to the repair costs for my vehicles, I reluctantly began my online search and found Blue Rhino Motors advertising an unbelievably clean 2010 Mini Cooper Clubman with ridiculous low mileage! Even more amazing was the price! Plus, a Carfax report reflecting the immaculate vehicle’s condition!
I called on a Sunday and spoke to Mario. Rarely do you encounter someone as sincere and empathetic as he was with me OVER THE TELEPHONE!
I paid a visit to the dealership on Monday (with the massive family in tow), was in awe of the car’s condition, test drove it and fell in love with it. Equally amazing, Mario made us feel like family and we never felt pressured in any way. We discussed specifics, he went out of his way to accomodate our situation, and went above and beyond for me and my family. Even Rhino the cat was showering my kids with love!!!
Paperwork was signed, financing was done, and we picked up our lovely new Mini the very next day!
Just when I thought the experience couldn’t get any better, I met Fred when I picked up my car. His calm, soothing demeanor, friendly smile, and reassuring nature, was the icing on the cake! Immediately he made me feel like family and the entire experience was second to none!
My Mini looks great, runs great, and more importantly… will ensure I continue to assist in saving peoples lives on a daily basis. These guys have made a customer for life and we will always return to them for our future car needs. My wife even set her eyes on a potential next vehicle.
These guys make it an honor to know them!!!

The Plan:
Find a solid used car for my girlfriend at the right price.
The Background:
After running the gambit of the usual used car lots and big dealerships I took my girlfriend here to look at a 2010 Prius III advertised online. I choose to go here because the price online seemed very reasonable and the great reviews online for this dealership. Compared to the plethora of horror stories at other dealerships the majority buyers reviewing there experience here seemed genuinely happy with their purchase and buying experience. Nonetheless, understanding the world of used car buying (and having dodged a bullet on some potential bad deals previously) I kept in mind the saying «Trust but verify».
The Scenario:
After arriving, the first thing I noticed wasn’t immediately accosted by one of the swimming sharks of salesmen that you find hovering at many of the large dealerships that feel like ready to pounce on you like fresh meat. After I was there for a little while a young casual yet professional salesman named Mario approached us and politely asked if we needed any help. I explained we were there to look at a Prius. He directed us to the two Prius cars they had in stock and proceeded to show us the car I was there to look at. He was very relaxed and exuded a friend and calm demeanor and engaged in some polite conversation telling us a bit about the car and allowing us to ask questions without any sense of pressure. This was a welcome relief from the typical hard sell that you often get at many dealerships.
The Test Drive:
After I was satisfied with the general condition of the car upon my casual inspection. And in all honesty, I was more than satisfied, it was a beautiful, clean and well functioning car (to my initial survey). We asked to take it for a test drive. At that point we were joined by Fred a pleasant and seasoned veteran of the car sales industry that left the big dealership racket to join a more down to earth small business. He accompanied us on taking the car where we needed to get a good feel of the car and engaged us in some non pushy very pleasant conversation. After being satisfied with the test drive, we came back to the dealership and I prepared to discuss a potential deal. And in all honesty this is the point were I had the most apprehension (due to my previous experiences).
The Negotiation:
After the test drive, I went over in my head what price I ideally wanted to pay out the door and what else I needed to make me satisfied that this car was the real deal and right for my girl. The last thing I wanted was to put my favorite girl in a car that would be problematic for her. So I let Mario know where I was on price and that I was prepared to make a deal in cash, provided I was able to take the car for a pre-​purchase inspection (a must in my opinion for all used car deals). So we negotiated a bit over the numbers and came to a fair price for the car out the door upon an positive pre-​purchase inspection.
The Inspection:
Upon the recommendation of another mechanic I called ahead just in case and set up a tentative appointment for a thorough pre-​purchase inspection at a local Toyota dealership service center. This was in order to test all the aspects of the car and make sure my biggest concern of buying a hybrid (the battery) was in good condition. In order to facilitate the inspection Fred from Blue Rhino drove the car over to the dealership service center and we dropped it off. Then my girlfriend and I went to get something to eat since it was going to take a while. Upon our return and the completion of the inspection we were informed that the car was in excellent condition and had no real issues. In fact, they simply updated the software to address a necessary update per Toyota and told us that the car still had 10 year or 50,000 warranty on the battery remaining. Score!
The Deal:
Now was the easy part. We went back to Blue Rhino Motors and finalized the deal. While we were doing the paperwork they had one of their staff wash and do some touch up detail work on the car. Mario gave me the final number (including tax title and other fees) that we agreed on factoring an amount for the cost of the inspection and there were no real surprises. It was actually really relaxed and smooth sailing. We got a really good deal on a beautiful pearl white 2010 Prius III with good miles and even sweet alloy rims. Cash changed hands paperwork was signed and were prepared to be on our way.
Summary:
All in all we had a really awesome experience at Blue Rhino Motors. Mario and Fred were really helpful even going out of their way and staying late to make the deal. We shook hands and my girl drove home in her new car. It was a welcome relief after months of searching and having to previously deal with some really shady characters. I have to say we were treated right, we didn’t have to play games and be worked over to

10 Stars! Fred & Mario Were The Best! Before Coming Here I Went To Plenty Of Dealerships & They All Told Me What I Wanted To Hear Just To Go In, These Gentlemen Did Not ! They Were Honest. I Went Knowing I Wasn’t Able To Get A Car I Thought Well It Doesn’t Hurt To Try, I Ended Up Leaving With A BMW & Friendship ! This Will Be The ONLY Dealership I EVER Go Too!

I purchased my 2011 Toyota Camry I love my car and the guys were great I would definitely recommend this place

This was the first van and the first place we came to. We needed to get a van for my 87 year old mother. Fred and Mario were very friendly and helpful from the moment we walked in. We wanted to walk and shop around but luckily the owner was here and made sure we got the price we wanted. My sister was an excellent negotiator but the owner gave us a decent price. Everyone was nice and professional without feeling like we were getting pressured or taken advantage of. Blue Rhino Motors is Car Fax approved and certified with major banks for financing. It’s also nice to know they’ve been in business for 14 years and the car dealership isn’t going to move to another corner. They really took care of my Mom with detailing, oil change and checking the brakes.

Working with Fred and super Mario was great. They worked out a great deal for me on my Benz and delivered it to me at home. They really rolled out the red carpet for me with this deal and I appreciated all the hard work they did to get me a low price and financing. Enjoy ur treat guys :)

Blue Rhino is awesome and everybody who works there. my experience couldn’t be better, my first couple places i was before had lot’s of pressure and nothing else. make it short i will not concentrate on other places and will try to be as honest as i can about my experience at Blue Rhino Motors. Mario was a first whom i saw after short confersation over the phone with somebody else (can’t remember the name). Mario was extremily patient and really helpful with me. i was not sure which car i want to drive home tonight that’s why made other salesmen little bit nervous at other places. he showed me around 6 cars and after all i chose complite different one)) we test drove around the block and i knew that this is my dream car. but the payment was very important for me and the car i chose was $ 2000 over my budget. they did magic, real MAGIC, my payment was less $ 300 with low rate. finance guy’s name was Fred who was as patient as Mario and very polite. i will recommend to all my friends and family to go and try that place. BRM has nice inventory with all kind of makes and models. thanks to you guys to make my dream come true. Being so happy with my car, best present for Christmas

Today I purchased a car from Blue Rhino Motors and I had a quick, easy, no hassle, AWESOME experience. I was first greeted by Farid with a genuine smile. I liked him instantly. We went for a test drive and The car drove smoothly and looked great! When We arrived back at the lot, I met Mario who was happy, energetic and ready to get us started. The added bonus was meeting the Boss Man Mike who really worked with us and gave me an OUTSTANDING deal! We also shared the same birthday. I signed on the dotted line then we sang, laughed and I drove off in my Mercedes a happy Birthday Girl!!!

I can’t recommend the guys at Blue Rhino enough! We have bought both our cars from them and each time, they went above and beyond to talk us through our options, both in cars and financing. You can trust what they tell you about their cars. They stand by their products and referrals. There is never any pressure, and no BS either. Mike, Mario & Freddy are the best!!!

Brought a friend here to buy a car as a surprise for his girlfriend birtgday. They didn’t have the color but said it would ship in two days. Since we were out of time, we got it from another dealer. These guys were great and very helpful. They even told us which dealer had our car. Not the typical car salesman. Will be back to buy my next car from here.
