Central Sales

I keep sending emails and they never respond. Haven’t heard back from anyone. Seems like they don’t want my business.

My wife and I bought a used Dodge Ram 1500 from CS. The gal who helped us was so nice and very knowledgeable. When we got the truck it still had the feeling/​smell/​comfort of a new car. There was no pressure to go outside our budget or upgrade to a newer, more expensive model. I would Highly recommend an experience here if you are looking for a new/​used car!

Our family purchased a used vehicle from Central Sales. Dealing with Stacy was great, she is a good communicator and very helpful with our many questions. We will refer Central Sales to friends.

Let me start off by saying that although we didn’t end up getting our car through Central Sales, we had such a wonderful experience with them that I needed to write a review.
My husband first spoke with Ray, who he felt he had an immediate connection with and easy, flowing communication about our vehicular needs. But Ray was going on vacay, and we couldn’t wait until he got back to complete our car buying experience with him.
Enter, Roy — Ray’s bro. Roy was AWESOME. He took the time to REALLY answer my questions in a way that I could understand, and didn’t try to push cars on me that were out of my price range. He was an excellent listener and ended up bringing out a car that day to our house for my hubby and me to test drive.
Let me pause for a moment to say just how smart this business model is — I mean, with 2 kids under 4 years old, it’s a PITA to get to a dealership and take turns test driving a car and then waiting around for hours to purchase the car while the kids go cray cray. Central Sales is part of Ron Tonkin (I think…), so they have a huge inventory of cars to pull from, which they bring to you to test drive, and then they arrange all the financing for you to find the lowest APR, and then bring the paperwork to you when they deliver the car. It takes about 10 minutes to sign everything. All for no extra fee. Brilliant. Other dealerships should take note.
But what made everything so super was the truly no-​pressure attitude of Roy (and I imagine everyone else he works with). He was super nice and completely understanding when I told him that we were also test-​driving a car from another dealership later that day. He reiterated that he just wanted to make sure that we got into the right car for us. And I believed him!
We ended up doing the whole take-​the-​kids-​to-​the-​dealership-​and-​wait-​an-​excrutiatingly-​long-​time-​to-​purchase-​a-​vehicle thing. But only because the vehicle that was there was the one we wanted in the end. But we will DEFINITELY use Central Sales again when it’s time to buy a car. Thanks Roy!

I had the best car buying experience ever using Tonkin’s Central Sales. I was looking for a custom Audi SQ5, Mike and Matt were able to find one at another dealership, arrange for a test drive at Wilsonville Audi, arrange very competitive financing, and delivered the vehicle to my home where we completed all the paperwork. It was the most painless car buying experience ever. I can’t see how anyone who buys a car using this business model can ever go back to the traditional way of visiting a dealership to buy a car.
Having multiple car brands to sell means they aren’t trying to sell you the brand on their lot, and they aren’t smack talking the competition, it really is all about what the customer wants.
I’ve purchased 19 new vehicles over the years, all brands and all price ranges, from Ford to Porsche, and I’ve left many car lots in a bad mood or feeling they just weren’t out to help the customer. So when I say this is a better buying process and very customer focused you can take my word for it!

Best car buying experience EVER! So easy and convent. Ray was super easy to work with, no pressure, helpful and he did what he said when he said he would (so the exact opposite of the typical used car salesman). I am blown away by how easy and stress free it was to buy a car through Central Sales. I will never go car shopping any other way

My friend in the car business told me about this service. Ray Ramirez helped me. I knew what car I wanted, but he offered to bring any other cars over to our house for us to test drive. He helped me get exactly the car I wanted. I bought the new Honda Fit. I wanted heated seats, but none of the other features in the package. He took my car to have heated seats installed, and they look and function as if factory installed, but it was $ 1000 less than the package would have cost.
It took 15 minutes to complete the paperwork, at our dining room table. Ray couldn’t have been more helpful. It was so easy. We were going to be out of town and didn’t want the new car until we got back. Ray held our new car and postponed picking up my trade-​in until it was convenient for us, day and time. He was always on-​time, on our schedule. I don’t think I could ever go back to buying from a dealer again.

I wish I had known about Central Sales when I purchased my past two cars. It would have saved me from a lot of grief and frustration. And I wouldn’t have thought of buying car as such a daunting experience.
Luckily, this time around, I heard about this service and decided to give it a try. I am so happy I did! Our company needed a vehicle in a short period of time. I was dreading getting it simply to avoid the usual process: researching, finding ads, calling around, going from one dealership to another and, worst of all, negotiating with them. The thought of the experience alone was enough to postpone the purchase until the last minute.
Then I engaged with Central Sales and everything happened fast, efficiently and smoothly. We had a defined criteria for what we were seeking, and the guys at Central Sales were quick to show us the options the matched our needs. The best part being they gave us options across different brands, so we didn’t need to be tied to one particular manufacturer.
Due to our timeline needs, I was ready to pay an extra fee for these services, as long as we were able to get a car in time. But we came to find out there were no additional fees! In the end, I was able to find the best option, at the best price, quickly, conveniently and with no extra fees. This purchase saved me from driving all over town and having to negotiate with the dealers. That alone is priceless.
I worked with Matt during the entire process, and he went above and beyond to help us. He was timely, responsive, organized and very friendly. I wouldn’t hesitate about working with him and the crew at Central Sales again!

Bryce Gehlen was absolutely amazing. Him and his associate Ray made my car buying experience PERFECT from start to finish. Excellent customer service, took the stress out, and made it convenient for me and my wife to find a vehicle we needed within a matter of hours. Thanks again for all your amazing work. And then to top off, they donated $ 100 to my church Grace Point Ministries as Non-​Profit Donation!!! If you are looking, Look no further than Central Sales and Bryce and his team.

I purchased a 2013 Honda Civic from Central Sales about two weeks ago. I had such an incredible experiance with their innovative approach. This is unlike anything you ever experianced before. The personnel are genuine and seek to provide an exceptional experiance, and that is exactly what I got. The Car was just detailed and in great condition. I will never go back to purchaseing from a lot again. Central sales is always going to be what i reccommend to my friends and family!

This is a long overdue review for Central Sales… sorry for the novel, but there’s so much good stuff to say. I purchased a 2013 Scion tC last summer. I absolutely, positively downright hate dealerships, and in particular, I don’t care much for Ron Tonkin dealerships. Central Sales made me avoid dealing with them completely, and made my life SO much easier. FYI — They will actually drive a vehicle to a location of your choice — even your house, to test drive. You could potentially sign paperwork for your new vehicle on your dining room table, or like another review says… in your car!
The communication with Stacey and Ray was excellent, and they were quick to respond to emails and phone calls. Before I even arrived with my trade-​in vehicle, (and to test drive the Scion) they already had a trade-​in price for me, in fact, it was beyond what I was even expecting. They do all of the haggling and negotiating for you, and that’s what I loved. Financing options were available via email and well before I even came to test drive my car. Ray was hilarious and really works hard at what he does… I told him I wanted to be sure the back of the car was big enough to sleep in (seriously, we camp a lot and I was curious) so he put the seats down and laid down LOL. He also helped me clean out my trade-​in car and put all of the stuff in the new car.
They let me leave that night with the car and they felt absolutely terrible that I was leaving with a car that wasn’t detailed inside and out. I didn’t really care, I just wanted my new car! I drove it downtown the next day with the agreement that they would come pick it up from a parking lot that I left it in… and they would return it when done so I could come out and sign paperwork. Sure enough… at the end of my work day, I found my car. sparkling clean inside and out. They had picked it up and put it in the exact same spot!
The best part of this entire process is… despite these people being in sales, I felt no pressure whatsoever about anything. It was just amazing. Can’t wait to purchase my next vehicle!

Let me start by staying, I absolutely hate the idea of buying a new car because of the hassle and time consuming process I’ve always exeperienced at the car lots. That being said, I can honestly say that my experience with Central Sales was so painless and stress free and I will never buy a car any other way again. My wife and I browsed cars on the website and inquired about one in particular. I got a call from Roy who handled everything from there. There was no pressure whatsoever. He was able to handle the financing and helped us find just the right car and payments we were looking for. Once we decided on the car we thought we wanted, he brought it to our house for a test drive. We loved the car and proceeded with completing the sale right there in our dining room. The papers were all ready to go and the signing of papers only took about 10 minutes and we were then the proud owners of a new 2014 Toyota Corolla. Roy was extremely professional and knowledgable and just provided a great customer service experience all the way. We highly recommend doing business with these folks.

This was an amazing experience. After a few frustrating days of trying to sell my car on Craigslist, I called Central Sales based on positive Unilocal comments. Ray took my call, and he turned out to be just awesome. I told him what kind of car I wanted, and I also said that I wanted to get $ 15,000 for my trade-​in, even though several other dealerships had only offered around $ 13 000 (I was hoping for a miracle here). Lo and behold, in 15 minutes Ray called me back telling me that Ron Tonkin would give me $ 15,000 on my trade, and that he had two cars that would fit my needs. After I chose the best-​sounding one, Ray DROVE IT OVER TO MY HOUSE for me to test-​drive. Unbelievable.
I loved the car, and Ray then came out the following day with all the Toyota, credit union and insurance paperwork filled out. We signed that stuff at my dining room table, and it all took about 15 minutes. Then Ray drove off with my trade, and left me with my new car. Total cost to me? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
I have called Ray a couple of times over the past day or so and he was very helpful in everything. I really have never had such an easy and hassle-​free car buying experience, and I will recommend Ray and Central Sales to everyone. Thank you, Ray!

Central Sales provided an extraordinary buying experience for us. We worked with Ray and found him to be highly professional, punctual, and with no-​pressure tactics (I see other reviews referencing a Roy and I don’t know if that’s a different employee, but Ray was superb). We kept changing out minds and were a little uncertain, but even when we asked to see the same car again (that we had previously rejected) he was very patient and understanding. Then, we even tested his patience further when we asked to take it to our own mechanic for an inspection before buying (we are paranoid). But Ray was perfectly accepting of that and even helped us get it there. That’s what we all want when buying a car. We officially bought the car yesterday-​I had a super busy day at work, so Ray delivered the car to us and the paperwork took 10 minutes. Seriously. And that includes applying for the loan! I would send anyone to them for a completely different car-​buying experience!

I had a great experience buying our Acura MDX with Matt Kim at Central Sales! He listened keenly to our needs and then presented us with options that met them perfectly. The best part was the fact that I never had to set foot on a dealership, Matt came to me with the car! Matt was incredibly knowledgable and walked us through the whole process in a casual manner. If you want a car buying experience that is tailor fit to your needs, this is the way to go! Thaks guys.

These guys did it again. Just bought our 2^nd car from Central Sales and the same AMAZING service! Car was delivered to my office. Did all the paperwork sitting in the driver’s seat of my new car — literally. Will never step foot in a dealership again to buy a car. And I checked on-​line — got the best possible price, and I got the best possible truly no-​hassle service. Highly recommend.

Central Sales provides the car buying experience that everyone should have. If you’ve ever wanted to buy a car just like you’ve bought everything else — phone, computer, washing machine — except Central Sales *will come to your house,* then look no further.
All the details are discussed up front, which is completely opposite of the traditional dealership experience, and then they try to find a car you’ll like, is a good value, and that you can afford. There are no «gotchas» or cheap sales schemes. We’re actually looking forward to our next car purchase, though that may be years away, thanks to the great deal we got on a car we loved.
This approach has netted them at least one customer for life.

We just purchased a used Toyota Sequoia from Central Sales and it was by far the easiest car buying experience ever! They brought 3 cars to our home to test drive and they never pressured us in the process. The Sequoia was great and the service was equally great. They handled all of the finance arrangements for us and gave us a very fair number for our Nissan on trade. If you want the easiest car buying experience ever than you owe it to yourself to call these guys. We will be referring all of our friends and family to Central Sales!

Going into my car buying process was daunting, to say the least. That is until I was connected with Central Sales. I HONESTLY can not say enough good things about their services and the way I was treated!
I was very nervous about making a large purchase and had been warned by pretty much every person I know about the «dealership pressure» to expect, the long hours of negotiating and waiting for better deals. I didnt have to deal with ANY of it!
My first step was calling, I spoke to a very nice and poised young woman who asked what I did and did not want in a car and what my budget was. Later that day I was emailed a list of SEVERAL options from all the Ron Tonkin lots. I did my car shopping on my couch in my robe that night.
Once I made some selections, I contacted her again and she BROUGHT THE CAR TO MY HOUSE for the test drive! Are you kidding me? Who does that? Thats INCREDIBLE SERVICE! She answered all 42,688 questions I had before during and after the test drive and never seemed annoyed or frustrated by my lack of car knowledge.
After a few phone calls with banks about the loans the deal was done. The very next day, she brought the car back to my house and I signed the check in my living room. No hours at the dealership, no haggling, no pressure. Just the best rate first and answers to any questions.
I seriously dont know how this experience could have been easier! I am recommending Central Sales to EVERYONE I know who is interested in buying a car. The leg work is all done for you with a smile and they never hesitate to make sure you know everything you want to about what you’re getting into. I will never buy a car anywhere else!

Wow. These guys actually make shopping for a car fun and convenient without charging a premium.
Neither my wife or I are car people. My wife was looking for an all-​wheel drive car that would be fun to drive and function well with our kids. At the suggestion of a friend, we called Central Sales.
A day after listening to my wife’s criteria, a big guy named Ben showed up with an Acura MDX. My wife test drove it around the neighborhood. She liked the car, but felt it was a little small for our family of five and our dog.
At my wife’s request, Ben showed up the next day with an Audi Q7. It was a perfect match. We couldn’t be happier.
The service was fantastic. But it was Ben’s great listening skills that impressed us the most.
