I had a such a positive experience with Pavel. He is knowledgeable and straightforward, and really chill. The price and fees were fair, you are not getting ripped off here. After buying my Bolt, I started reading about experiences other EV buyers have had at Chevy dealerships and their horror stories of incompetent salespeople, I realized how lucky I was to buy my car through Pavel.

I recently bought a car from GS Motors from out of state and Pavel made the process as easy as possible for me. He even held the car while I sorted out the financing with a local credit union, and arranged for shipping all the way to Nashville (something no other dealership I talked with would even consider.) He was always responsive, always professional, and always honest. I felt totally comfortable and relaxed purchasing from him and would not hesitate to do it again in the future.

I dont write many reviews, so hopefully that understates how great Pavel was during the car buying experience. Generally I lament going to a small dealer because I hate high-pressure sales people, but this was the complete opposite. After a long test drive of the car he then took the time to go through not only the details of the car, but also charging and which apps to download! What sales person would normally do that?! In the two weeks since purchase there have been zero issues and I feel confident Pavel would help correct them even if there was.I would definitely check his shop first when looking for electric cars, hes simply the best!

Pavel was a huge help throughout the entire process. He understood I was new to this and was willing to be patient as it was clear I knew nothing about the car buying process. His communication was nothing short of prompt - Im talking email replies within 10 minutes, answered the phone with every call, and even held the car for me for several days to test drive on a weekend not knowing if I would even complete the purchase. Clear, concise, and willing to work with me on my needs. Got my dream car for a great price! Thanks Pavel!

Best car buying experience i have ever had. Pavel seems to be a fair and honest man.

My husband and I have purchased two electric cars from Pavel. He is the best! Very knowledgeable about EVs. He makes the buying experience a pleasure.

Found a car listed on Carsoup for sale and started talking to Pavel. He took the time to educate me on the pros and cons of each of the brands and help me find the car I needed. He is patient, knowledgeable, is high quality all the way through the process. No dealership BS or high pressure sales, will take the time to find your needs and make sure you buy the car you need. 10/10 will shop again and will recommend to friends and family. Thank you Pavel!

Pavel was helpful and knowledgeable. He made the entire car buying experience a great experience. We hope to buy our next electric vehicle from Pavel!

Pavel was great to work with and definitely gained my trust. He answered questions promptly and with great detail. Even though we decided not to buy an electric vehicle at this point, I would recommend GS Motors to anybody.

My partner and I first visited GS Motors a year ago - we were interested in electric vehicles but we didnt know much about them yet. After talking with Pavel and taking the Nissan Leaf and Chevy Bolt for a test drive, the idea of owning an electric vehicle started to seem less like a dream and more like it could be a reality for us.After spending a year getting progressively more excited about the Nissan Leaf, we drove down to the Twin Cities to check out two Leafs at GS Motors and another dealership. Once again, Pavel was able to answer all of our questions about electric vehicle ownership, and the car we test drove at GS Motors was even cooler than we were expecting. We ended up getting an absurdly good deal on a used EV at a different dealership, but Pavel was hands down the better salesman. He was honest, forthcoming, and he knew the Nissan Leaf inside and out. Even though we didnt end up purchasing a vehicle from GS Motors, we still benefited from Pavels knowledge and experience. Thanks Pavel!

Great service and staff. Overall awesome buying experience.

My wife and I just bought our first electric car, a 2017 Nissan Leaf. We couldnt have been more pleased with a car buying experience. Pavel was super helpful, very knowledgeable, patient with all our test drives, and very pleasant to deal with - no high pressure at all. His selection of electrics was quite impressive....more than you will find anywhere else in the twin cities. Though we hope this car lasts us a good long time, wed go back to Pavel without question, and will recommend him whenever possible. Thanks!

Bought my first EV, a Fiat 500e here and couldnt have had a better experience. Pavel the owner felt more like a friend than a dealer. He even set me up with an Xcel energy pilot program to get a charger installed in my garage. Hes also quick to answer questions over email or phone. Best car buying experience, no complaints.

I came in to buy a gas run fiat, and was surprised when this dealership was all electric cars. Pavel encouraged me to test drive the Fiat 500e with no pressure to buy. He wanted me to have the experience. I was able to use the car throughout the day and fell in love. When I decided to buy, Pavel was nothing but helpful. He is so knowledgeable! Pavel helped me every step of the way and was always an email/call/text away. He remembered my name and even my dogs name. The sale was smooth and my car is great! I got a Fiat 500e with super low mileage and warranty with a great deal. This guy is great and I love this dealership. I am so happy to own an electric car. Now I hope more people drive them. After the sale, I was still able to text him and get help with any questions. He helped me find free charging stations even! One guy run shop who is honest, helpful, knowledgeable, and down to earth. Definitely recommend and wish him much success. Thanks so much, Pavel!

Ive had two experiences doing business with GS Motors and Pavel. I purchased my first electric vehicle (EV) from him two years ago and was impressed by his knowledge, honesty, and forthrightness. He actually cares about his customers and strives for the best experience! While recently purchasing a new EV, he provided me with some sage advice and offered to buy back the car he originally sold me at a very fair price. If you are interested in purchasing a used electric vehicle, Pavel and GS Motors are where you should go!

My wife and I decided to go electric with one of our vehicles. I found a couple of leaf from other used car dealership that were a little better deal. After talking to Pavel a few times on the phone it was very apparent that he knew what he was talking about. We decided to buy our first electric car from Pavel. I can’t tell you enough how nice of a experience it was to buy from Pavel. So we only had the car for a couple of weeks and the heater went out in the car we were so bummed out when we found out. I gave Pavel a call he answered the phone and stood behind the leaf he sold me and paid for the repair. Pavel Is a real professional. If you’re thinking to go electric GS Motor would be your first place to buy like I said he might not have the cheapest deals on electric vehicle but if you want someone to stand by there cars and knows what there talking about Pavel is your guy.

Very knowledgeable and willing to let disabled persons try on the cars.

We bought a car from him and it was an education in electric vehicles. He told us the pros and cons of all the different models and sold us a car with no pressure or hassles. He showed us how to change the cabin air filter so we could save money in the future. We recently sold the car back to him. He paid us over $2000 more than the dealer offered us on trade. I look forward to dealing with him in the future.

We didnt end up buying an electric vehicle at this time, but were very grateful for the time meeting and trying them out. We will think of GS motors when were ready to buy an EV.

There was a great selection and range of EVs. Pavel was tremendously knowledgable about all EVs. He was able to share his personal ownership experience too. He was honest, caring, and efficient. By appointment only actually worked out great because we felt the personal attention Pavel provided, without interruption and not rushed into a decision. I will be telling all my friends about our wonderful buying experience with Pavel at GS Motors!

Want an electric vehicle? Start with GS Motors.This was a great experience!! Pavels very honest, upfront, and thorough. The car fax information is all available immediately which goes to show hes trustworthy. He went well above and beyond our expectations, and even showed us how to change the air filter (which he replaced the day we purchased at no additional cost) - its a bit of a process. He generously wrote down a list of phone apps that he feels are important for having an EV, too.Overall, the prices are extremely fair.Couldnt be happier. Thank you!

Excellent Customer Service. Very professional.

We contacted Pavel for a visit and test drive of an EV car. He was very knowledgeable and helped us confirm what we had researched on our own; that a Nissan LEAF would be a good match for an EV with our driving needs. He was very flexible about scheduling a time for us to visit his show room and test drive a couple cars, and he handled all of the paperwork of the purchase of a 2015 LEAF SV perfectly. He gave us lots of pointers about important maintenance and even replaced the cabin air filter before we left so wed know how to do it ourselves next year. I highly recommend contacting Pavel to schedule an appointment if youre considering a high quality used EV.

Couldnt have asked for a better first time EV buying experience! Pavel took the time to talk us through everything wed need to know. We went home with a 2019 Nissan Leaf and would definitely come to Pavel again for an EV.

So great! Buy your EV from Pavel. Absolutely recommended.

GS Motors attention to detail results in a high value for the customer, especially when moving away from conventional to electric vehicles. They take great care to make sure you are comfortable with the switch by answering questions (even after the sale) and providing you with information about the technology.Highly recommended by a confirmed buyer from GS Motors.Thank you for reading this review.

We were looking for a 2019 Nissan Leaf and our experience with Pavel, the owner of GS Motors, was fantastic. Pavel has a no pressure sales approach. He wants to ensure customers are getting the right car matching their needs. He explained all the pros and cons of the cars he had in the lot. We could not find right away the car we wanted. We came back a few months later and bought a car from GS Motors. When we arrived home, we found some scratches which we had not noticed before. Pavel offered us a few options to resolve the matter. He resolved the matter to our satisfaction. We will come back to GS Motors for our next car.

GS Motors sold me a beautiful one-owner Fiat 500e. Pavel was extremely knowledgable and answered all of my questions about the car. Would highly recommend GS Motors to anyone searching for an electric vehicle.

High quality communication and service from start to finish. Pavel was quick to respond to messages, is very knowledgeable and generous with his expertise, and clearly cares about customer experience. No haggling on trade-in value or sale price as both were very reasonable. Car was immaculate and exactly as described on the website. I’ll definitely be back for my next EV and would highly recommend to anyone in the market.

I bought a Fiat 500e back in 2017 from Pavel at GS Motors. It was a fantastic experience. He was very easy to deal with. Totally upfront about everything. He took care of warranty issue before delivering the car. Easily the best car buying experience Ive ever had. Ive recommended him to numerous friends and will continue to do so.

The person we spoke with who is the owner is very knowledgeable and personable very cool place to visit

Excellent customer service. Loved the car I bought. Great price. Pavel went above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied with our purchase and even taught me how to program all the electronics. Highly recommend

Pavel was great to work with. We purchased a car from him in another state. He was quick to respond to questions, emailed detailed pictures of the car and was gracious enough to help us find transportation for the vehicle. The car arrived just as promised and in great condition. We would recommend Pavel and even purchase another car from him in the future.

We purchased a Leaf from Pavel a few months ago. Everything was great - communication was clear (including letting us know about a similar vechicle he had coming in soon after the first we were looking at sold), price was no haggle but fair, and he even held the car for us against a reasonable deposit and took care of arranging shipping for us (out of state) at a good price. The car has been great too - it is my wifes, and I had doubts about how much Id like it, but Ive been pleasantly surprised. Would strongly recommend Pavel to anyone potentially in the market for an EV. Thank you Pavel!

Update:Its been 3 months since purchasing our Fiat 500e from GS Motors. Were still loving the car and not missing gas stations. The winter weather has decreased the range to 80 miles, but the instantaneous heat more than makes up for it. Our net monthly commuting expense has decreased $100.Original Post:GS Motors is a great (no pressure) environment to test drive several EV models. We were slightly apprehensive that the Fiat 500e would simply be too small and drive like a toy, but after a test drive knew it was the car for us. The entire experience was professional, yet fun and relaxed. We plan on sending anyone who expresses interest in a EV to GS Motors.

This is a long overdue review for GS Motors! I purchased a Leaf from Pavel a few months ago and the entire experience was fantastic. Pavel was excited to teach us anything we didnt know about EVs and walked us patiently through the pros and cons of each model - all without the slightest bit of pressure.Ive had my car now for 4 months and I love it more every day! Thanks for a great car and a great buying experience, Pavel!

Great experience with Pavel, he is clearly passionate about electric vehicles, and really knows his stuff. Brought up relevant concerns and was very open and transparent through the whole buying process.Quick note, he was able to take my (gas) trade in!If you’re thinking about an EV, pay him a visit and he’ll give you some honest recommendations and a nice, low pressure experience. I, for one, am enjoying my new vehicle!

Pavel is absolutely great! His passion for EVs is rivaled only by his desire to make his customers as happy as possible. We really appreciated his willingness to walk us through every detail of our vehicle. Being a first time EV buyer it was a delight to buy from Pavel. Yeah the place is a little tricky to find, but the experience is definitely worth the extra effort. Well be back to buy another EV from GS Motors Im sure!

I had a really great experience shopping at GS Motors. Pavel took time and great care to ensure my satisfaction. No pressure, just honesty and fairness. As it should be!

Best car buying experience hands down. Pavel is very knowledgeable about electric side of things. I wish all car dealers were this competent.

Highly highly recommend GS Motors for a used EV purchase.Before going to GS Motors, I had been looking at Carvana, Car Gurus, and local dealers to purchase a used Nissan Leaf. My experience was poor at the other dealers. They didnt know anything about EVs, couldnt tell me the state of the battery or what to look for.Pavel, the owner of GS Motors, was a night and day difference to the other dealerships. He was honest about the benefits and limitations of each EV he was selling, used an application called LeafSpy to give me direct battery health information, and allowed long test drives to get a feel for the car. He wanted to be sure I had the right vehicle, and I remain happy with the car (2016 Leaf) and experience. If you are looking for a used EV, go to GS Motors.

I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience at GS Motors !! The owner is patient and accommodating. Many excellent vehicles to choose from. We had a great time buying our EV !

Pavel was great! He was very helpful and spent a lot of time going over the car details. Strongly recommend.

Long overdue review for Pavel. We had a great experience working with him to buy a 2015 Nissan Leaf. No pressure at all and he really helped educate us about electric vehicle ownership. We bought the Leaf in February during frigid temperatures, which impacted the battery life more significantly than we thought it would...probably took a full charge down to only a 35-40 mile range. We thought something might be wrong with the battery in our Leaf so we contacted Pavel and he let us borrow the nicest and lowest mileage 2015 Leaf in his shop for 48 hours so we could compare. We had the same result, which was comforting to find out. As the weather got nicer, the battery life got significantly longer - now in the spring its closer to that 70-80 mile range we were hoping for. Just have to manage expectations in the MN winter. Point of the story - we really appreciated how incredibly generous Pavel was to loan us another car and allow us to return ours if we werent satisfied. Recommend him to anyone in the market for an electric. We are loving the Leaf as our second commuter car.

Pavel provided us with a splendid extremely low mileage 2014 Fiat 500e. Most noteworthy is he noticed a minor warranty issue before we came in to sign papers which he insisted on taking care of at the Fiat dealer before letting us take possession of the car. That is commendable conduct. Pavel is running this business by himself and I wish him great success. He deserves it. Oh, and our Fiat is currently churning through 44 mile round trip commutes showing 47 miles remaining range. Perfect.

I contacted Pavel a few times through email, text or phone calls. He was always patient, polite and professional. I was supposed to buy one of his cars, but unfortunately I couldnt make it to MN from Madison WI, after I agreed verbally to buy the car. Pavel was always the same, very flexible in every single step of the transaction. I will buy an e-car sooner than later and it would be from GS Motors. Strongly recommend this business.

This is THE place to buy an EV. The education we received in how to use our new vehicle, how to get the most from the power grid, and how to best utilize the various apps available was invaluable. There was no pressure, upselling, or any of the other weird games that most car dealers play. Just honest, responsive, and highly competent help with our purchase, on our schedule. An absolutely perfect car buying experience (and we love our new Bolt!)

Pavel is a real gem. Id never met a used car salesperson I liked, until a few weeks ago. Hes dedicated, and passionate about electric cars. His wife does chalk art, and its pervades the space. I just loved it.

Pavel is absolutely amazing. Genuinely wants customers to be happy with their purchase and doesnt pressure you into anything you dont need/want. I didnt buy anything this time but when I purchase an electric car I am definitely coming back!

One-on-one service was excellent. I bought my Nissan Leaf a few months ago and it performs exactly as advertised. I am very happy with the car and would highly recommend GS Motors to friends and family.

I bought a 2016 Fiat 500e from Pavel last year and had a great experience. If youre thinking of getting an EV I would highly recommend going to GS Motors. You wont regret it.

Loved this dealership. I have never had a better experience buying a car. Was eager to show all positives of the vehicle and extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend buying a car from this company.

GS Motors is a terrific operation and I strongly recommend that anyone interested in checking out an EV start their search there. As others have noted, Pavel is a terrific guy - smart, helpful, honest and incredibly generous with his wealth of knowledge.I went to GS to see if an EV might be right for me and Pavel loaded me up with all the pros and cons, then encouraged me to drive the models that might actually work best for me. All the cars in his inventory are very fairly priced and there is a wide range of options - nice to know theres a world of great and affordable EVs beyond Tesla, with a huge range of technologies and features.I actually ended up purchasing a brand new EV from a Nissan dealership because the stars aligned with a tax credit and end-of-year rebate that made the deal too good to pass up, and Pavel even walked through that with me and agreed that the new vehicle might be a better option in this case. He was very gracious and genuinely happy for me, letting me know that he was sure I would end up loving my new car, even though I didnt buy it from him.Its a pretty great experience to encounter a friendly, no-nonsense car dealer who is actually looking out for your best interests, and I love what theyre doing - bringing EVs to the world! Please go to GS Motors to see how cool and fun EVs are and if you buy a car there, you will be well cared for.

Pavel was great to work with. Very responsive and reasonable. My personal needs were to ship the used leaf across the country and Pavel made it happen right on time with no issues whatsoever. It was my first time buying a car over the internet and I admit I had my concerns. You dont need to be concerned with Pavel. Also, Im pretty sure I bought the best possible used Nissan Leaf for that price. 100% satisfied in every way. Thank you Pavel!

Great deals on hard-to-find vehicles. The owner is very knowledgeable and honest about his cars and their history. Got a great deal, love my new electric Fiat. Would definitely do business with them again.

I cant recommend GS Motors enough. I looked at a Nissan dealership, and they had no idea what they were talking about when it came to the LEAF. Pavel really knows electric cars and specializes in them (the only dealership now for pre-owned electric cars in MN). He owns one himself and has sold them for years, which means he really understands what people are looking for. He went above and beyond to make sure we got what we needed. It was a really straightforward and easy experience to buy a car there. I would go to GS Motors first next time and skip the big dealerships altogether.

We are first-time EV owners and couldnt have asked for a better person to introduce us to them! Pavel made the experience of buying a new car so, so pleasant, informative, stress-free and exciting. We started our EV research at a dealership, but didnt get the information or expertise we were looking for. With Pavel it was a totally different (much better!!) experience. If you have even an inkling of curiosity about EVs, I couldnt recommend setting up an appointment with him more.

Purchased a Nissan Leaf from GS Motors today! The experience was absolutely wonderful. Highly recommend giving Pavel a visit! We will not buy electric vehicles from anyone else!

Unique car shop. Probably the most pleasurable car buying experience Ive ever had. The dealer loves EVs. We had a short, frank, no BS conversation about price, but then the majority of the time was spent with him making sure I knew how to use the car effectively and how to keep it well maintained

We had a great experience buying our Leaf from Pavel! He has great cars and great customer service!

This is the best dealer to buy a used electric car from. Pavel is very helpful in explaining the details of electric cars, where to charge them, and how to operate them. Highly recommended!

Pavel spent over an hour teaching me the ins and outs of this new car. We even changed the cabin air filter. I left confident and happy.

If youre in the market for an electric vehicle (EV), Pavel is the person to go to in twin cities. He is incredibly knowledgeable and will answer literally any question about EVs in general or a specific car he has in stock. (Seriously, try asking a dealer about heat pumps or battery longevity...good luck.) His prices are competitive and his service is second to none. We just got done buying a 2015 Leaf and it was a great experience; he even took our older Focus with deer damage in trade, which I did not expect. We drove several cars and asked a ridiculous amount of questions and Pavel was always gracious and helpful. Even if you dont live near Hopkins, make the trek, you wont regret it!

Pavel is extremely knowledgeable and friendly and accommodating. Definitely the best car buying experience I have ever had.

GREAT customer service! Pavel was so helpful in explaining EVs to us. He spent a lot of time making sure all of our questions were answered. There was absolutely no pressure to buy. He’s super easy going, and incredibly knowledgeable. He made sure we knew how to use and charge the vehicle and gave us lots of tips on charging on the road. When we buy our next EV, gsmotors is the only place we’ll go.

We bought a used Nissan Leaf through Pavel. Super nice guy and was easy to contact and work worth. Recommending him to anyone that is even considering buying an EV. Will definitely be back for our next EV!

All we can say is Wow. Pavel is phenomenal. Our family was interested in a Nissan Leaf and he gladly shared his knowledge and enthusiasm for EVs.There was absolutely no pressure to buy and he was honest and calm. His quality of service is genuine and personable. When a TPM tire issue appeared the day after the purchase, Pavel was quick with a resolution; even offering to pick up the vehicle to have it serviced. He followed up during and after the repair to make sure we were satisfied.Pavel is a class act and a joy to work with. We would not hesitate to buy from him again.

Really great customer service knowledgeable and helpful

Great experience from start to finish. I think the best way to explain it is that we never felt that Pavel was trying to sell us a car. Instead, it felt like he was helping us buy a car.He’s knowledge about EVs and was flexible with his time in both scheduling appointments and answering our questions.If you have any interest at all in EVs, I’d highly recommend checking this place out.

Pavel was easy to work with, and helped with things he didnt have to AFTER the sale. I would absolutely buy another electric car here.

Up front about the truth of full EVs

Frendly and knowledgeable peoples

I really enjoyed the one on one customer service. Pavel thanks. This car is awesome (Nissan Leaf).

Great experience. People who drive electric cars are on a mission, and in Pavels case his mission is not only driving one, but making them available to others.Before finding GS motors I tried working with Dealerships in the area. If they did have an all electric they knew next to nothing about it, and they were charging (no pun) several thousand dollars more for the car than GS was asking. In my case, by the time I pay for the car and extra insurance the most I can hope for is to break even at some point in saving on gas, but what I really like is the driving experience, and being able to stick my thumb in the eye of the oil companies that have been fighting the electric car. Yes the EV1 did really happen (Who Killed the Electric Car), and big oil lobbied to have them destroyed. I have been into electric transportation for many years. I rode electric bikes, and converted a 1983 Mazda RX7 to run on electric. Custom agents confiscated batteries from me in Kentucky because Cheveron Oil was sitting on the patient for the batteries used in EV1, and the batteries I was importing were deemed large enough for vehicle propulsion. I think the patient expired about the time the Leaf came out. How much more climate change, and how many people died in oil wars, because of this?Check out GS motors in Hopkins, and join the movement to a better future.Fun fact: The electricity it takes to refine one gallon of gas will propel an electric car for about 20 miles. So the ICEs dont just blow out CO2 when they are going down the road, they also, like the EVs, use electricity from a power plant.

Pavel is a joy to work with! Best car buying experience ever - benefiting the earth AND getting a great deal.

My experience was terrific! Pavel was friendly, knowledgeable, and best of all low pressure!

Small hard to find place but it was worth it. I felt like the owner was very down to earth and honest. I would do business with again.

Zero pressure, relaxed atmosphere and Pavel knows EVs. He doesnt sell you the car, he educates you about it and lets the car sell itself. If youre in the market for an EV, this is your place.

Looking for an electric vehicle at a great price. This is the place for used EVs.

Very helpful and knowledgeable
