Car Club

If I could give negative stars I would. What I’m about to write is completely professional and 100% the honest truth. I’ve had my truck for about a year and I’ve already put in about $ 6,000 in repairs. The first night I had the vehicle the tire blew on the highway because they were bald and wires sticking out but I didn’t notice because it was night time when I bought it. A few days later the AC core smoked out my truck. Over time I’ve had numerous other repairs. Now I took it to a mechanic who is a very professional person and he said the brake pads, brake shoes, rotors, transmission, all for bearings, suspension, front and back shocks, ac coolant, oil pan, exhaust in a few other items like plugs, and fuses are all completely shot. He was amazed the truck was still running. He informed me that the majority of these issues are issues that have been there long over a year. When I bought the car from john I asked him specifically was a scar in good condition based off the price because he WAY over charge me and he assured me that the vehicle was in great running condition. The truck is book valued at $ 4,250 in perfect condition and I’m paying 9000. He sold me a lemon and definitely is not worth being trusted. My recommendation to anybody that comes to this car lot needs to have the car taking off the lot to a mechanic and having it completely checked out before you lose all your money. Oh yeah I completely forgot, they replaced one of the calipers and not both so my tires smoked out the second day I had it. So I will now have to put in a total of about $ 12,000 to repair this vehicle on top of the $ 9,000 that they charge me for it for a vehicle that’s only worth $ 2,500. This place is a scam. Just look at all the other Unilocal reviews about their vehicles falling apart a short time after. I also used to take my Dodge Durango to their company mechanic and his exact words to me were you bought a lemon you might as well sell it and take the loss and this was told to me less than a week after getting the truck his name was Amir

We love Car Club! This is our second purchase with this company. Drew Brown helped us and was so nice and so honest. The car deal was so smooth and we were in and out of there in less than an hour. We did look online first and knew which vehicles we were interested in before we even got to the lot.
We do not have the best credit and to be honest our trade in was a piece of crap. Drew and the team working were not judgemental at all and did their best to get us a deal that we could afford.
I would recommend Car Club of Renton to the highest degree and actually will be back in a few years when my oldest needs a car!
Thanks Car Club!

I knew exactly what I was looking for when I got there and Drew was happy to take me for a test drive. He was friendly and personable, a very likeable guy. I am not much for going back and forth, haggling and whatnot, so they gave me their bottom line price. It was a bit more than I wanted to pay but the car had very low miles and was in great shape so I accepted.
John set up the financing and in about an hour we were good to go. He was very knowledgeable and explained things well. I decided to fore-​go the 24 month warranty initially, but after I slept on it I figured that the money would be worth the peace of mind. I was afraid that they wouldn’t be willing to make any changes but when I called them first thing the next morning they were very accommodating and added the warranty for me. I’m going to stop by today and sign the new paper work.
Overall the experience was pleasant and hassle free. Both of the guys I dealt with were professional and easy to deal with.

I’m giving them 2 stars because I bought my very first car there about 4 years ago.
Since my first experience wasn’t bad I decided to go again to buy a truck. They had the one I wanted and let me test drive it. My down payment would of been almost paying it off. Instead of working with me the guy decides to tell me I should buy the truck with an interested that would of added $ 8,000 more on top of what they were offering it for.
I kindly declined and try to leave. Instead of just letting me walk out the door the guy held on to my I’d while going back and forth trying to come up with a «what seemed like a better deal»
It was the same deal just an extra year to pay it off and even more interest!
I had 10,000 for down payment. The truck was only 13.
After interested it would of been 21,000 for a 2005 truck.
Never ever going back here.

I bought a car from these gentleman and It is already broken and i have to buy another one I have only had this car for 5 – 6 months. I first had problems with this car two weeks after getting it and they insurance I got from them to get the problem fixed «didn’t cover» the problem. I also referred two people to there and they both are now having car problems. They also have a program where you can get money or less money owed on your car by referring people to them. I’m sure you can guess by now that they did not honor what they said they would do. I strongly recommend that you never go to this location unless you wanna give away money.

They really suck took them a week to get my plates in n I’ve already been pulled over twice n now they claim I still owe money … Bank statements say otherwise … Aka there shady like all car lots. I would not recommend the lot to anyone who would like respectable. mature service … For a great car buying experience I’d say lake city Toyota all day … Screw car club inc

The process of getting my car was wonderful, fast and easy and John was great.
BUT, I was told when I bought the car that If I referred anyone to them and they bought a car that I would get a $ 75 referral check. About a month after I got my car my dad got one from the burien location, I had to call and bug them a couple of times but after a couple of weeks I got it, no problem. Then I referred a friend a couple of months ago and she got a car. I have been going back and forth with both of the finance guys at the Renton location for TWO AND A HALF months! and I keep getting different stories. Today when I called and spoke with the Brian, the Sales Manager and head Finance guy, who I have spoken with about this before. He was extremely rude from the get go. I was firm and tried to explain to him that I have been trying to get this check from them for so long and have been told by the other finance guy that it has been confirmed that I should be getting a check. to which he said «if there’s not a check in my drawer, there’s no check for you» I said that I understood that, what I don’t understand is why they haven’t just gotten it done, he said it’s a one day process and all he has to do is fill out the paperwork and make the check. So I said «Ok, I’ll stop by tomorrow after work and pick up the check.» then he just said «I’ll just call you when it’s done.»
again, he was extremely rude from the very start, would not hear me out and basically just blew off what I was trying to tell him. It is like pulling teeth to get this $ 75, which I actually need, I’m not just trying to get this check so that I can have a little extra spending money.
I am not pleased with Brian’s service. Either Follow through with what you tell your customers or don’t offer the deals.

I purchased a truck with these guys and couldn’t be more pleased. I received honest advise and was steered to the most value for my purchase.
I recommend this place!

I am the first to say, I hate car shopping and I normally completely dislike car dealerships but I had a great experience at Car Club. I worked with John Hicks and he was extremely helpful and listened to exactly what I was looking for. Even though I have not yet purchased the vehicle I am looking for, John has made sure to stay in touch with me and let me know when they get a vehicle he feels would suit me.
I have been impressed with his ability to be convincing but not pushy at all.

Do not buy from this dealership! about 5 months ago I purchased an 06 dodge ram, this truck has absolutely fallen apart ever since. So far I have replaced the transmission $ 4000.00, the front axel $ 1000.00, the front driveline $ 400.00, the ecm/​pcm (computer) $ 1700.00, the cooling fan $ 300.00, all 6 injectors $ 3100.00. Next on the list is a leaking water pump. I recently spoke one of the salesmen from car club, he admitted that they were aware of the many problems with this truck, and apologized with mutual disgust. I am absolutely disgusted with this shady dealership, they spent more time money and effort to hide the issues than anything else. if the legal system isn’t enough to fight back on this, ill be out on the corner 7 days a week waving people away from this place.

After looking for a specific Make of car, we were thrilled to find one at a decent price at Car Club Renton. We pulled in to check out the vehicle while in the area at about 7:55pm Wednesday evening. Nobody greeted us, I attributed this to the fact that it was near closing, so we figured we’d just take a quick look and come back another day. While my son was looking at the car, I noticed they were closing the gate, effectively locking us in for the night. I was able to catch the employee in order to be let out. I rolled down my window to explain that we were just taking a look at the vehicle and would come back. He rolled his eyes at me and gestured that I should move along. I completely get wanting to go home after a long day at work. It has ALWAYS been my experience at car dealerships that they go out of their way to be polite, in an effort to gain a customer. However, I let it go and decided we’d check out the car later. The next day, Thursday, my son went back to dealership. He test drove the car and expressed interest in the vehicle. Without any negotiation, he was passed onto the Finance Department where he was treated as if an agreement had already been made. When he refused to sign that agreement, he was eventually greeted again by the Sales Manager who told him, «Thank you for wasting our time.» Worst customer service ever!

I would never purchase or finance a car from this dealership. The salesmen are very aggressive and pressure you into buying a vehicle. The staff is very unprofessional and unfair. I went to the dealership to look at a 1999 Honda Accord and they wanted $ 9,000 for a 1999 Honda Accord. That is a complete rip off. The Kelley Blue Book value for a car of that age is on $ 5,400 at the most.
I asked the salesmen for a purchase order of the vehicle next thing you know the salesmen is asking me to write down my social security and employment information so that they can finance the vehicle, which I DID NOT ask for. The salesmen are very pushy. My overall experience with this dealership was HORRIBLE.
