We were very impressed with the service of Velishek Auto Sales. Jake was most helpful and made sure to take care of every detail to ensure that we were able to get the vehicle that suited our needs at the price we could afford. Thank you Jake, and thank you Velishek Auto Sales!
I had such a horrible experience with my car dealership and other auto shops making it sound like my issues with my vehicle were more involved than they actually were. Velishek was able to get me in ASAP and they fixed the problem so quickly and didn’t charge me an arm and a leg. They have the most exceptional customer service and I am so grateful to them for providing a solution and not making it such a big deal like I thought it would have been. I will be taking my car here from now on for any service needs
Great car buying experience. Jake was fantastic 👏 if your looking for a good used car at a decent price...look NO further, these folks know what theyre doing and they will hook you up!
Velishek Auto has a great inventory of quality cars and prices. Spenser was excellent helping me find the right truck. He was extremely knowledgeable regarding the different models of engines and transmissions in each truck. He understood what I wanted and made it a very positive experience.
Great selection of vehicles. The 3 I test drove all worked well and were clean. Spenser was great to work with. Laid back, funny and knowledgeable. I know from reading prior reviews that the owner takes their reputation seriously. Thanks!
Perfect lobby for waiting.Perfect employeesPerfect managementPerfect pricePerfect review
We bought a vehicle from them about 6 months ago and last week the engine completely stopped, Brought it to the shop its going to be $2,000 plus taxes to fix.One of the catalytic converter broke and 2 other things ( cant remember exactly what my hubby knows)I am having a hard time believing that they didnt know something was wrong with it and wasnt upfront about it, with us not owning it long and that already happening. Sadly will not purchase from there again.
Never disappointed... staff are not pushy. Will answer all your questions and concerns. This is my second car from Velishek. My first one is now owned by my daughter.
One of the best car buying experiences Ive ever had. Couldnt be happier with my purchase. Genuinely sincere, friendly & honest staff in a relaxed & welcoming environment. Totally up front with vehicle history & very fair pricing. Felt no pressure & was a completely stress free experience. They take care of all the little hassles that can come with buying a car for you & make the process & transaction so incredibly smooth. Many thanks to the whole team at Velishek.
Awesome customer service. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Nice selection of vehicles in great shape. A wonderful car buying experience.
I worked with Jake volts. I bought a 2015 Ford Taurus. He is an old-fashioned car salesman that values honesty and integrity over anything else. He listened and responded to my every question. Because this was only my second car purchase I had a lot of questions.During the test drive I noticed that the rear wheels were making a lot of noise. Thier technician discovered that both of the rear wheel bearings had failed. They replaced them at no cost to me.Jake had my car inspected and professionally detailed before I picked it up.BOTTOM LINE: If you are looking for a used car this is the best place in MN to look and purchase. BAR NONE.A HUGE thank you to Jake and the rest of the team at Velishek.
They have always had great deals.
The team that us at this dealership, are all awesome to say the least.I worked with salesman Jake, this guy made my experience great, very helpful, patient, and caring. I was having breathing issues, not knowing to myself, my o2 line became disconnected from the o2 tank. Things went down hill from there, the whole team there, dropped what they were doing, to assist me.Well I was able to drive away with my new vehicle, but when I got home (40 minutes later), one rear tire seperated, and the other tire was showing equal to happen problems. I immediately got should of this dealership, explained what happened. To make a long story short, an owner of this dealer ship told me to get 2 new tires put on the vehicle, and he would send me a check for the amount for tires, so I texted him the copy of the bill, the very next day I did receive a check for the tires, plus a great dealership baseball cap.You ever get a chance to check Velishek Auto Sales, do it, you will drive away happy !Just want to thank Velishek auto sales !God bless you all !!
Awesome place to buy a car. Very friendly and good deals.
Jake was professional and fair with our experience. We will certainly look here for future auto needs.
Jake was very helpful. Low pressure and listened to our needs. He matched us up with the perfect fit for our family and was patient us and kind towards us through the entire process. He made our experience very pleasing and we highly recommend him and Velisheks.
We went through jake. Highly recommend this place! Amazing service and they are honest & make sure that your car is completely fixed before giving the car to you. When its time to purchase my next car, I will definitely be going here!
Dont bother.Waited, and waited, and waited. I even brought my wallet. No one, and I mean not even a sighting, on the sales staff came to greet me and my wife. If they were busy a simple hello would suffice, I get it. But nothing at all. We looked at the vehicle offering for more than 40 minutes and no one even acknowledged out presence.As a local, this is a horrible experience. Even worse than experiencing the same at a chain dealership. At least they know to acknowledge a potential customer before ignoring them further.Again, dont bother.Update:. Covid-19 protocol or not, a greeting and an explanation of your protocol would be in order. I already bought at Snell in Mankato. Never had a better car buying experience. Night and day difference.
We purchased a 2014 Yukon XL and our experience was fantastic! Our salesman “Jeff” or otherwise known as Jake made our experience wonderful. We looked at Another vehicle at a dealership in Coon Rapids earlier that day and had a horrible experience so when I called and talked to Jake I didn’t know what to expect. But he went above and beyond answering any of my questions and sent me all of the pictures of the vehicle that I requested and more. From the minute we got there to the time we left he put us at ease and made the experience very enjoyable. We came all the way from Fargo North Dakota to buy this vehicle and we definitely will come back when we are in the market for another one. Five stars all around!
Last year I bought a my truck from Velishek Auto Sales. It was my first time buying a vehicle, and they were very helpful guiding me through the entire process. Their prices are very reasonable, with a wide selection of vehicles. Also anything they didnt have they would help you find what youre looking for. Besides sales, their service department is great for anything from oil changes to engine repair.
Thank you Velishek Auto Sales! I love my new Dodge Ram! You made the whole process very easy from point of sale to financing to final delivery. I never felt pressured to buy. I highly recommend Velishek Auto Sales. They are one of the most honest dealerships out there. I will definitely be buying future vehicles from them and utilizing their service center.
Jake was Great to work with! I believe he was up front and personable!! We’ll be back in the future!
Ive bought almost every car from Veleishiks and theyve all been great cars! For a used car dealership, this is a dealership that you can trust. The sales team is honest and reliable. They dont work on commission so you never feel pressured to buy. They only sell quality used cars so you can be confident you will have reliable transportation! I highly recommend Velisheks.
Just finalized purchase of a vehicle today. On the positive side, we were able to negotiate the price (according to sources on the web, their asking price was way too high) and they did finally work with us on a key piece that we needed to happen in order to make the deal. If they hadnt worked with us, we would have walked away. We give them only 2 stars because it felt as though they fought us every step of the way. We have never worked with a dealership that seemed to work so hard at NOT selling us a vehicle.
Would not recommend this place if your going to buy a car look elsewhere. The vehicles are over priced and not in good condition. This place is lucky I can only give a one star review
I have been taking my Acura to John and his crew for a few years and now with my daughter driving, we have a new car with all new issues and more money that a single mom of a teenage girl doesnt always have. The heater in the new car stopped working in this lovely 7degree weather and I thought of just dealing with it but decided to go to my friends at Velishek to see what they came up with. As usual, they took care of my car in a timely manner and affordable price. And the best part, I have peace of mind again that the car is safe. They have the best customer service I have seen in a long time and because of the people working there, I would not take my vehicles anywhere else. I highly recommend this group.
Very good experience. Bought a 2018 Nissan.
What a great local business, that takes care of their customers with integrity and good value
They do what they say and say what they do. Ive never been shocked or surprised when my vehicle is done-other than pleasantly surprised. Very detailed!!
Worked with Jake on my new used truck. I wanted to try and talk him down on price but the truck was so perfect I couldnt. Check these guys out.
I made an out of state vehicle purchase working with Jake. The process was smooth, and the staff is friendly and straightforward answering any questions you might have. I would recommend checking Velishek out!
I sold a vehicle to them . Jake was the most professional and courteous gentleman both in person and on the phone . Very pleased with the entire transaction. Veilshek is a family owned business and they were very honest and transparent from get go. I would absolutely recommend them .
Variety of one owner vehicles for prices that are affordable. Worked with Jake, he was easy going and worked with me to find the right car for me.
The workmanship involved and the dedication to client service. Highly recommend these heroes and would work with them in future.
They have a good selection of used cars. The only problem is they are a little over priced compared to other local dealers. Most of the cars are at clean retail price or above so you just have the be aware of book values before you go. Good staff working there though very helpful.
I bought a 1999 Pontiac Bonneville in 2004 Still driving it started with 51,000 miles now has 150,000 Great price and quality looking to buy a new one form them soon. Also, my brother purchased a car from them that he really loved too. Great service, Great Price.
Great place to consider buying from, super friendly staff and good selection of quality vehicles on the lot.
Have had our cars serviced there for years and have always been treated fairly and received good service. Have now purchased two used cars in the past year and found the experience to be great! Would highly recommend them. Family run business that cares about their customers!
Friendly and professional services, no hard sell tactics and good selection of quality one owner low mileage vehicles.
Wonderful place with Nice staff, just didnt have what we needed in the end!
I have purchased three vehicles here over the last ten years and all of them are still going today, all with 135,000 - 160,000 miles on them. I did have a mechanical issue with one of them but they worked it out with me and the resolution was fairly done. In my experience they have good vehicles to choose from and take care of their customers.
Bet friendly and professional. Also, great with our kids which was a huge plus as well! Would definitely recommend them to anyone and will be back when in the market for another vehicle.
Great experience!!! The staff at Velishek Auto helped me through the entire process of buying a vehicle. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a good deal and great service
Jake is great to work with!
We went to look at a new car and had it inspected. We got the results of the inspection which stated that there might be something wrong with a head gasket. The salesman told us that he would like to have his mechanics take a look and that he would give us a call once they did. We never heard from them again so I can only assume that they waited for someone else to buy the car who did not invest in an inspection.
John at the service desk does a great job! He knows my vehicles, and is very honest about what needs to be done, and what does not. They are very reasonably priced, and they are quick and effective. I would definitely recommend them for car service, or puchasing.
This dealership has treated my dad very well, jeff l. He bought a truck a month ago and had a couple issues. Talked to the manager and they took care of all the issues and fixed his truck us on their dime. Highly reccomend great dealership they WILL take care of you.
Fair prices and friendly staff!
Velishek Auto Sales is the most amazing dealership in Minnesota!! They operate with honesty and intergrity and they focus on providing the best car for the buyer at the best price!! You will not find a dealer that is better than these guys, they are amazing!!
Prices are way over book value, looking at at 3,500 Dollar book value car, they are asking 6k I went over what its worth, offered 5k in cash in hand and they said no
Weve bought 4 cars from them and loved all of them. Service is excellent and staff is awesome to deal with! Definitely will buy more cars from them in the future!
Very disappointing customer service. Had to wait for over 15 min for someone to come and help. When he did come and help us, didn’t introduce himself and seemed like he had other things to do. When trying to talk about the vehicle, argued back with us, stating that the things that were wrong were common and fixable for much cheaper than our mechanic quoted us. Unwilling to negotiate a cost for the vehicle. All around disappointing experience. Would not recommend.
I purchased a 2015 dart from this dealership 3 years ago for my husband and have had no issues with the vehicle purchased prior so when looking for a new vehicle for myself I decided to look here again as they advised there is a returning customer discount, we found an equinox with 45k miles that we were wanting to purchase thinking it was a good deal with a 2014 Kia as a trade in having had it valued at another dealership we knew it was worth $7500 as a trade in they offered us $6000 originally so we declined the trade in salesman came back with $6500 Which we were unhappy with but felt pressured. As well as there was no discount for being a return customer like we were advised 3 years prior. We decided to go see what a different dealership would offer us we went to car max and got $7500 for our trade in as well as $500 off taxes we decided to trade in for a 2019 equinox with 1/3 of the miles as the car we found elsewhere was priced in the same range! Look else where before purchasing from them as the “damage to the vehicle” and the reason for the low trade in was non existent as I advised two other dealership of there concerns that the car was repainted along with a few other concerns and they both advised this was not present. They are clearly liars who take advantage of people! They lost a customer in us for sure we won’t be trading up the car I purchased my husband from them with them. Below dealership has made a point to call out the cars value that we were trading in for which was not the point of my review it’s simply that they obviously try to low ball trade ins and are dishonest about what needs to be done to the vehicle. And to look elsewhere what he fails to mention is the back tail lights on the vehicle they are selling flicker when In park and black smoke comes from the vehicle both warning signs we realized when my husband too a second look which is probably why the vehicle is priced “below market value” they have my number and call call me anytime I’m more than happy to give them a piece of my mind on there shady business, notice everything negative review they try to slide out of and make the customers fault.
Have been a customer for 20 yrs. Always good service and friendly atmosphere. Great selection of vehicles!
We bought a good used 2013 Taurus at a great price.
I loved this car dealership! Was treated with Great Respect when purchasing 2017 Grand Caravan!
This is the place to go if you like dealing with honest car dealers. They always have a great selection of cars and you will feel welcome dealing with them!
Wasted our time in financing a vehicle only to give it to another person when we were on our way with the deposit check. No voicemail or emails left to advise us the vehicle was no longer available... I am not happy that there was no communication.
Great service, attention and quality products. Service after the sale is good, not afraid to buy a car, or have a car serviced by Velisheks. Bought one vehicle, and had countless services done on others, over the years.
Super friendly and helpful staff! Would recommend a stop by to see how they can get you into a reasonably priced vehicle.
I had been shopping around for a new vehicle for a few weeks, this last spring. I thought I found a great deal on a car and brought it in for an inspection and it was horrible! I was disgruntled when my credit union recommended these guys!! I was told that they seem to have the cars with the lowest miles for the best price. I found a CRV that was is fantastic shape. I brought it in for an inspection and was told by my mechanic that it was in such good shape they would buy it for their mother. It did need new tires. Which they took care of for me within a week! I still love my CRV and my experience here!
They want to help not push you into a car you dont need. I shopped here for six months and they were always willing to help me with information and willing to give me time when i wasnt ready. When I finally found the vehicle that fit my needs i was in and out in lest then 30 mins.
My wife and I were looking to buy a vehicle that was larger than the 05 Corolla she had been driving which was totaled in an accident. After looking online at a variety of vehicles and countless dealerships we came across a 2003 Toyota Highlander with incredibly low miles, 57xxx give or take and felt we owed it to ourselves to take a look even though we were from the east metro and never heard of this dealership, we are glad we did. After test driving it we bought it and have been very happy with it. We did have a light come on in the dash which turned out to be a sensor and the service department took care of it at no cost to us, excellent. After buying vehicles from the big dealerships in the past it was nice to have a positive experience with the people here where there was a complete abscence of pressure and drama. Oh, and by the way, the price we paid for our highlander was THOUSANDS less than others we came across exactly like it with high miles! There was nothing not to like about this deal and dealership. When I buy a vehicle for myself this coming year I will definitely check them out again.
Jake was a helpful, friendly car salesman. I was able to buy a used car for a good price
The team is awesome highly recommend
Easy purchase process and realistic pricing.
Really good place to buy your next car
Appreciated them looking out for the car wed hope to find. Great service letting us know it was available.
Super Family to work with. Great results.
Bought a car with under 45k miles on it a year ago, tested it, got it checked out by my repair man, bought it and brought it home everything looked good - until i found out that the car randomly starts when it wants to. Wasted a huge chunk of cash on this vehicle too. These guys at Velishek are thieves and will apparently rip off anyone who shows them the least bit of attention. I dont suggest buying from them.
Great sales and great service !
Family owned local dealer.
I bought a used car here at a fair price, but the check engine light came on the day after I took it home. Over $1000 in repairs. My car guys said they most likely turned the check engine light off for test drives.I took it to my regular car guys even though the car was under 50% warranty (so that I would only pay half of whatever repairs if I brought it back to Velishek). When I told Velishek one of the parts that needed to be replaced and asked for an estimate, they wanted to charge me TWICE as much as the repair would have cost at a normal shop. I had nearly all of my repairs done for the amount that Velishek wanted for one.Velishek engages in dubious business practices, perhaps dangerous ones, and jacks up their prices.
Velishek has been a trusted place for used cars and great service for decades in my family!
Awesome mechanics, service is great and they are very trustworthy. This is the only place I will bring my vehicle
Ruined my birthday. Sold the vehicle I was going to get 2 days before i told them i would be there
Love my Volkswagen passat and a big thank you to service department and owner for making it the best deal!
Friendly staff, easy to browse. Varied stock.
Truck I purchased was supposed to have been inspected and ready to roll, it broke down within 10 miles of dealership, squeeky belt. I took the truck back, they sprayed belt dressing on belt which quieted it. I attempted to drive truck back home, got home, the sound came back and the oil pressure dropped to zero twice, within 1 week truck need a new belt, pulley and tenser, $590.00 repair, tow haul mode wouldnt work, new shifter needed $212.00 repair, gauges stopped working $320.00 repair, brakes were stated to be at 70% when purchased per dealer inspection now at 10k miles after purchase brakes failed $490.00 repair, over $1,100.00 in repairs in under 1 year on an Inspected truck, what an absolute Lie, I would not buy here again or recommend to anyone.
The people here are very friendly and very helpful.
Awesome facility and extremely nice staff.
My girlfriend brought a truck from them last Saturday. Overall a good experience,our salesman Jake worked with us in a low pressure way and we felt good about the experience.He was upfront with us about not being able to locate a second set of keys for the vehicle and he is suppose to contact us when they are found.
Good prices and service
Awesome service and knowledgeable friendly staff
Great Service, Awesome people.
The car we came to see had brake issues which were not mentioned in the ad and the salesman didnt accompany us on our test drive. We will not be going back.
Didnt want to lower price very much on a used vehicle.
Great service
