Bought my first out-of-state car sight unseen here. Price was good, service was great and would return for another. Drove home no problems 6hrs with the paddle shifters fixed~
I would like to thank the team that helped achieve a vehicle from them. I walked in needing a truck and they made sure that I walked away with what I wanted. Thank you Charles and James for the support and determination on getting me in the truck for me you guys are awesome.
I highly recommend this dealership! I drove 2 hours to buy a car from this lot, and I was not disappointed! They even arranged to fix a broken tail light on it. I LOVED the old school touch of them sending me off with a full gas tank. Bill and James were wonderful!
This dealership is one of the best that I have ever dealt with. We found them on cargurus and they made the buying experience pleasurable. We had a pre-approval from our credit union but they were able to get us a full percent lower. Charles actually took the car out for his own test drive and felt that the car had a hesitation. So he had the fluids serviced. This fixed the issue. I had to fly in to pick up the car and Charles picked me up at the airport in the car which allowed me to test drive the car back to the dealership. I was in and out quickly, less than half an hour. They also overnighted the paperwork so it would be signed by both my wife and I so she wouldnt have to fly. My tank was full when I left and James Brown made the signing easy. I highly recommend these guys, they have a wide selection of clean used cars. Our BMW was spotless and showroom ready.
Sold a lemon to a good family friend of mine. Buyers beware.First bought the vehicle and broke down within 24 hours, took two weeks to fix. After obtaining the vehicle again from the dealer it was found there was extensive issues with transmission, dealer not willing to help. 14k is a big investment to still not have a usable vehicle.I understand these are used cars but the dealer should make every effort to make things right. This was not the case.
Need better customer service very playful and loud
Awesome dealership. Mark was extremely fast and easy to work with. James is the best finance guy I’ve ever dealt with. No annoying sales tactics, nobody followed us around like vultures, they just simply answered my questions, worked out a deal, and signed the papers. Highly recommend this place.
Wow!!! What a amazing truck buying experience! So lucky to have found these guys! If you need a great vehicle, great value, and a great experience with honest upfront professionals! Look no further! Request to see Charles and/or George, you will be blown away! Their finance guy is also on point and capable of doing better than my local bank! (Should of let him do it from the beginning, my personal bank was a waste of time!). This should be your first stop when looking for a great vehicle!!!
I wouldn’t recommend getting a car from here . I was referred by a friend and I loved the place until I bought the car, I came from SC & sat there for more than 5 hours just to receive a beautiful Audi with a dead charger fuse, I brought it to their attention and they said that their shop was closed now, so I had to buy multiple portable chargers and sit there for a LONGER time before I could drive all the way back to SC.. I’m a female so I didn’t know that a fuse was a minor problem when I finally got home after getting lost due to everything I had for power dying, my mother brought it to my attention a fuse was a easy fix and I was able to do it myself ! Something those wonderful dealers could have told me if they cared about my situation being that I just bought the car and haven’t even left yet, I swept that under the rug .... until not longer after I’m receiving unprofessional TEXT threats of getting my car takin away if I don’t send a picture of my social security card .. something other dealers never asked for ... so I send it when I finally find it and also pay my car tax per threat from the dealership and send the receipt which they had me do twice ... now I bought this car back in April and it is now JULY and I still haven’t gotten my hard tag .. I call and call and nothing is happening .. now I’m paying for a car Im scared to drive due to expire tags and just like from the beginning with my fuse it’s excuses and me getting ignored !! I DO not recommend getting a car from here .. nothing but headaches since I walked thru the door.. so upset I traveled to get a car just to receive all these problems
We had the pleasure of dealing with Mark at Ideal for a purchase of a 2014 Ram Laramie that my husband found on their website. We traveled over an hour to buy this truck and they did not disappoint! So friendly! Mark made the purchasing process so easy!!James Brown in Financing was also very nice and accommodating! Thanks for making this one of the best car purchasing experiences we have ever had.Also, all of their vehicles are top notch! Very nice quality!
**UPDATE:The owner called and is making every attempt to correct this.**BOUGHT A DAMAGED CAR THAT I WAS TOLD WOULD BE REPAIRED AND YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW IT WAS EVER IN AN ACCIDENTNot a very good experience at all. Edited this post in all fairness to give the dealer a chance to correct this problem. Car was attempted to be repaired and the results speak for itself; overspray everywhere, fisheyes in the paint, thin spots/fog in the paint, fender doesnt line up (instead of replacing hinge that is bent, they pushed the fender down to line up with the hood). Dirt and defects in pain, poor masking job around emblem. I paid the advertised price for this car in Pre-accident condition on the promise it would be fixed and I would never know. I am waiting for a response and then I will delete this, and write a good review if they correct this.
I recently bought a 2015 tesla P85D from them, and they worked so hard on my behalf that it absolutely just blew me away. They were really easy to work with, stress free, and they werent pushy in the slightest. I would definitely recommend buying from them.
One of the best service i received!!! Mark lowry is very professional( Car Dealer) and will get you in something you actually love and will work with you if your credit is not the best!!! I definitely recommend checking iDeal auto if you are in need of a car
Got a beautiful, luxurious vehicle. Very clean. The sales people were friendly and informative.
I had the fortunate opportunity to come across a vehicle that I was interested in and inquired by email. Within minutes Mark called me and spoke to me, sent me pictures when asked and answered all my questions. I drove 3 hrs with my buddy on a Saturday and was greeted with a hand shake and prompt service. Within an hour and half (approximately) I had signed all paperwork and handed the keys. They took the time to fully clean the truck gas up the truck (EVEN FILLED UP MY BUDDIES TRUCK WHO DROVE ME). Mark and James and everyone at Ideal Auto were professional and courteous. Thank you so much for service and to James (Semper Fi). I will definitely buy my next car from them.
Couldnt ask for a better and more customer-centered experience from any other dealership if I TRIED! I bought my first car from iDeal Auto in 2015, and 3 years later Im onto my third car from iDeal and couldnt be more impressed with this dealership. Im in medical sales so I trade in my vehicles more frequently than the normal person does, but every time I need something new, the guys at iDeal go above and beyond to not only get me the best deal, but find the best car for my money. I love my new car Beep the Jeep just as much as I love my family at iDeal Auto! 10/10!
Worst experience working with Bill and Jorge. (Mark and James are an exception to everything I have to say about this interaction. They were beyond helpful but they can’t help who they work with and for...) I spent a whole day, test drove the truck and advised of some issues I found while test driving. I was reassured all this could be fixed. Some issues included my seat warmer not working and my DVD player not working on the 3rd row (which I later find out after finishing paperwork that I was misinformed it was the 2nd row that didn’t work). I was provided with a paper that told me what they would fix and that they would send me the DVD player to my home to have installed, an appointment would be made with a dealership to repair the seats not working, and offered a tank of gas and $100 off for my troubles.Well it’s been a week since this all took place and I have had to call back repeatedly to get an update on when I will receive the DVD player and keep getting the run around on someone calling me back.They put the truck up for sale before actually looking at it to see what was wrong and correcting it before selling so that they could hurry up and get it out the door. The owner could care less about the quality of vehicles he is putting out. They accept anything and don’t even do a full inspection of their vehicles when someone wants to sell a vehicle to them (watched it happen while I was there the second day)DONT BUY FROM THEM UNLESS YOU WANT TO DEAL WITH A LOT OF HASSEL
If I could have given this dealership negative stars I would have. I want all potential buyers to be aware of the deceptive practices that this dealership deploys in an effort to get a deal done. As a buyer you need to understand that the only thing that the owner George Bell Jr cares about is the sale of a vehicle. I have waited for weeks for George to call me in regard to promises he and his Finance Manger James made to me in writing. I did everything the dealership asked me to do in a timely manner and in return they have delivered nothing but roadblocks and broken promises. George believes that the world revolves around him and that he is the only one on the planet that is busy. They did however find the time to sell me a vehicle. Its the post-sale, after hes got your money, that he doesnt care anything about. James and Mark are wonderful people and I do believe they have done everything in their power to resolve this matter. But at the end of the day, as an employee of the company, their is only so much they can do and it is ultimately up to the owner to honor his word and commitment. Please take that into consideration when considering doing business with iDeal Auto. George will agree to make it right IN WRITING and to put it simply he just doesnt. Do your research, take some time to look around at the many dealers in Raleigh, and above all else make sure you Google the owners name you never know what you might find. Dont make the same mistake I did... Take your business elsewhere.
Mark went above and beyond to help us. We highly recommend working with him to anyone. Mark is knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable through the entire process AND it didnt take 4-5 hours like it has everywhere else. Smooth purchase 😎 HUGE THANK YOU TO.MARK!!
Mark is a very detailed guy. He works hard at providing and producing positive results. Treats you like family every step of the way and stands by his word! Would definently buy from them again. James worked hard for me when it came down to signing as well. Thanks guys! Id go see them if youre looking for a great ride for a great price! Tell them I sent you! Youll thank me later!
Big ups to the sales and financial departments of iDeal Auto . They made my sons first auto purchase a very pleasant and comfortable experience . Grant it, my son is 18 years old and I never thought he would leave the lot with his dream car, but they made it happen . To Mr Brown and Mr Lowry . Thank you for giving my son a head start in life . Much love .
Great Experience! The staff helped cater to my specific needs! Called and told them which vehicle I was looking at, upon my arrival they greeted me at the door had the keys ready to go and we got right down to business. Great customer service and great people to work with!
Mark is a wonderful sales guy to deal with. Upfront and honest!
Mark was extremely helpful during the car buying process. He was helpful and answered any questions that I had throughout the process. I would definitely recommend this dealership to anyone I know looking to purchase a car. Even with the buying process being over, he is still going above and beyond.
The was so nice and are willing to work with you when starting out on a car
My husband had been searching for a new car for about a month and finally found what he was looking for at Ideal Motors. Make sure you ask for Mark Lowry. He was very nice, professional, kind and friendly. He was informative and patient as we were not from the area and had to coordinate most business aspects of the transactions prior to arriving at the dealership. He provided extra pictures, etc so that we had detailed views and information since we weren’t able to view the car in person before making a decision. We are not only extremely satisfied with the service we received prior to arriving but also on the day we actually got there and brought the car home. We will definitely be repeat customers.
If you are looking to purchase your dream car go to Ideal Auto. I recommend Charles Boamah for your sales experience. He goes above and beyond not just a Salesman he puts himself in his customers shoes and utilizes his expertise to make his customers happy. If you have concerns about your credit please reach out to James Brown he will assist you in getting financial concerns meet. He does not stop till he gets the customer 100% approved.
They were all very nice. Will recommend.
I had a wonderful experience with iDeal Auto. They provided top notch service! I have a growing family and my husband and I were searching for a vehicle that will accommodate all of our children (all in car seats, 3 to be exact). We found exactly what we wanted, not to mention we received a great trade-in amount for my vehicle, we also received a great deal on the vehicle we ended up purchasing. We were able purchase an awesome warranty as well at an affordable price (they offer several options if you want to add a warranty onto the vehicle being purchased)!!! Their vehicles are affordable and they are willing to work with you on the price, the staff is very friendly and laid back. I never felt pressured, and the care they give their customers is unheard of nowadays! This was the absolute BEST car buying experience by FAR that I have ever had, seriously!!!! The service they provide is just off the charts! I cannot even put into words how impressed and appreciative I am of these guys!!! My husband and I had visited other local car lots before visiting iDeal Auto and I was not pleased with any of the others or the way they did business. iDeal Auto made up for that and all the time my husband and I felt we had wasted at the other places!! Will and Brett are just amazing to work with!!!! Great, great guys, you never get that car salesmen feel from this place, believe me these guys are not just there to make a dollar they are sincere people!!! Everyone there seemed very friendly, but of course I have to recommend Will and Brett as they were the two that took such good care of my husband and I. They worked with us, helped us get the payment we wanted, and we had a good time during our whole visit!!! They are genuine, down to earth people. They will go above and beyond to help any way they can to try to give you everything that you want. This was a one of a kind car dealer, and I WILL absolutely recommend them to all my friends and family! Absolutely, completely, whole heartedly, super stellar service!!!!!
I just purchased my 2015 Mustang GT Premium from Ideal auto last week. Charles was my sales agent and he was extremely helpful and professional with all the questions I asked about the vehicle. I was shopping online because I live in Michigan, and Charles sent me extra photos and a video of car running. I flew down to pick up the vehicle and Charles picked me up from the airport. I would send family and close friends to same dealer for their purchase.
Charles the sales rep help me thru the whole process and explain to me everything and made sure I got taken care of. Happy owner of a c6 corvette grand sport z16. Even after I got my car he made sure I was taken care ofHighly recommended, ask for Charles .
Purchased a 2018 F-250 from Mark. From day 1 I felt he was upfront with me. Mark continued working to get me the deal needed and he did. After the purchase, Mark contacted me to see how everything was with the truck. I hadnt noticed at the dealership but the reverse lights were out. Mark got me to a service center to have the repairs fixed and told me not to worry. That’s great service. Thank you Mark and thank you ideal auto for a great vehicle!
I made a appointment to see a vehicle with Steve and discussed a few details about the truck. The next day I called and moved my appointment to a earlier time and spoke with Charles, so I showed up to the dealership and asked the guy at the front desk if I could see the vehicle he stated the vehicle had been sold the previous day. In my opinion this was very unprofessional being that I drove 2 hours to come look at this truck. I would not recommend this dealership it would have been nice if I would have received a phone call that the vehicle had been sold already.
Purchased an AUDI Q7, while driving home the Check Engine Light Comes On AND theres NO CLUSTER (part that tells you when oil is low, etc) ON Q7!!!! AUDI of RALEIGH STATED NO OIL IN Q7/DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE TO CONFIRM... IMMEDIATELY Notified the IDEAL AUTO /TEXT AVAILABLE, stated they would schedule an appointment with repairman....30 PLUS DAYS have PASSED BY....STILL NO APPOINTMENT/NOR ACCEPTING OF RESPONSIBILITY..... THE WARRANTY James, Manager SOLD IS HORRIBLE, ONLY USES AFTER MARKET PARTS(AUDI DEALERSHIP doesnt recommend aftermarket parts on their vehicles). IVE CALLED TO SPEAK WITH GEORGE BELL, OWNER OF IDEAL AUTO FORMALLY KNOWN AS FARM AND RANCH, AND HES NEVER AVAILABLE....PLEASE GOOGLE FARM AND RANCH DEALERSHIP.....BEFORE PURCHASING A VEHICLE FROM THIS DEALERSHIP...THEY RECENTLY ...FACED FEDERAL CHARGES FOR POOR BUISNESS PRACTICES!BEWARE SOLD VEHICLE WITH NO OIL, NO CLUSTER, and INVALID BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY!
We had an excellent experience purchasing a car at iDeal Auto. We worked with Mark Lowry, and he was great. From our first phone call to inquire about the car to the day we drove our new car home, Mark went out of his way to make our car buying experience a breeze. He listened, stayed late to meet us, made repairs and fixes to the car, and sent us home with a car we love. We also enjoyed working with other folks at the dealership, including James—who led us through a completely no-pressure sales paperwork session, which we’ve never experienced before. We visited several used car lots while we were looking for this car, and none of them compared to iDeal Auto in terms of the quality and care of the cars on their lot, as well as the level of customer service offered. We highly recommend iDeal Auto and Mark Lowry and will definitely work with them again in the future.
Mark and James were awesome. Service was great and fast. I would recommend anyone to them!
Great folks. Easy to work with and not overpriced like other dealers. I highly recommend.
My husband & I decided to shop here after a week of researching online & shopping other dealerships, but let me tell you I wish we would have found Mark first! This has been the best experience I have ever had personally with a dealership, my husband was quite impressed as well & he isn’t easily to impress! All that to say Mark, was awesome he was relatable, professional, has a great sense of humor but more importantly knowledgeable. Throughout the entire process I/ we felt comfortable over the phone, in the office, & during the paperwork. James, in finance was very informative he walked us through our financing options with our best interest in mind, offered some useful financial gems & was very professional. The other two guys in the office were entertaining but in a professional way they joked around with one another like a family it was a good time! I even had a little breakdown bc something went astray (not at their fault) but they assured me it I was in good hands, it’ll get worked out, & they delivered literally! Thank you to everyone at this location for making this experience one to brag about! I am now a loyal customer & recommend this location! Thank you Mr. Owner, for allowing me to have my dream vehicle!😇
What a blessing to have been served at Ideal Auto on Louisburg Road in Raleigh, NC.Steve was very attentive, genuinely caring, professional and well informed as he guided me toward a new car purchase. He and David worked tirelessly to arrange the best deal to meet my needs, within my economic availability, and my choice of vehicle. Everybody was pleasant and very patient. Believe me, Steve worked hard for his money, but never displayed impatience toward me. I will be a repeat customer.I can in good conscience recommend this Dealership for your next vehicle purchase.Thank you to Melissa Wade, at The Light Christian Broadcasting radio station(FM 103.9) for her personal endorsement of the organization. I chose Ideal Auto on the strength of her word. Im sure glad I did.Praise the LORD. Many thanks.Sharon Powell
Could not have had a better experience! I called them on Saturday 11-9-19 and got a salesman named Mark on the phone told him what vehicle I had seen on their website and that I was coming from west of Charlotte NC and I was wanting to get the deal working while on my way to the dealership. I went online and got the credit information done just to speed up the process. We talked about the price a few times on the way there and when I arrived he had it ready for me to take it for the test drive. Once I returned he had most of the paper work ready and to my surprise the numbers where very close to what I was expecting and wanting to pay. Then I went into the finance office with James and the experience was great there as well. We discussed the warrnaties and gap coverage and then completed necessary paper work. I was in the car business for several years and Im telling you that this was absolutely the best buying experience that I have had. While we were waiting for the car to be washed for delivery I met Geoge who is the owner and I can again say what a nice gentleman. They really made this an easy transaction. I will not hesitate to purchase from them again in the future. It was well worth my drive from Charlotte to Raleigh. Again Mark was very professional and took great care of us.
If you’re looking for a quality vehicle at a great price, ideal auto is the place to go. I’ve purchased my last 5 vehicles from here and they all run like they are new. From BMW down to Honda. The owner takes great pride in every vehicle, and it shows in the quality of his cars. When you make it to Ideal ask for Charles, best car advisor in the market. His knowledge of each vehicle, and his hard work ethic leads you to exactly what you are looking for! Charles has been my advisor for all 5 purchases, and will be for the next 5! Lol. Give Ideal your business, you won’t regret it! Ask for Charles, tell him that I sent you!
Just bought a vehicle from this place 2 days ago. The staff was very helpful and the owner was very kind as well. Thanks guys and keep up the good work. 👍
I loved working with this dealership. Great customer service and honesty. I would definitely recommend checking them out if you are searching for a vehicle.
I cannot express enough how amazing the whole team at Ideal Auto is. My husband and I have been searching for a well maintained SUV. I first visited their lot to look at a Yukon XL that I had seen online. We live about 1.5 hours from their location so it was a little disappointing when we got their and I found out that the vehicle had just sold the day before. I was shown two other vehicles on the lot that although were beautiful vehicles they were not the model of vehicle we wanted. Scott asked me what exactly we wanted and within 24hrs he had a vehicle on his lot. He sent me pictures and low and behold it was immaculate! We drove down to their lot again, saw the vehicle in person as it was getting cleaned and fell in love. My husband and daughter test drove the vehicle and could not have been more pleased. The staff is amazing, the owners go above and beyond to make sure their customers are happy. I have recommended ALL my family and friends to please contact this dealership if you are looking for a great used vehicle. It was worth every drive for us. The next vehicle we buy will be from Ideal Auto!
Amazing service across the board and the absolute best car buying process we have ever experienced. Each and everyone at Ideal Auto was extremely helpful, trustworthy, kind,personable and considerate no one at anytime pressured us into buying a vehicle however everyone was knowledgeable and available once we decided on what vehicle we wanted the process was smooth from beginning to end. I can not express the amount of professionalism that was displayed from the guys at Ideal Auto we have been to the dealership several times and each time the experience was awesome to say the very least. I can honestly say the staff at Ideal Auto are not just salespeople and at no time during our car buying experience did we ever feel like just another sale, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming and it was much more than just a car buying experience. Myself and my husband highly recommend buying a vehicle from Ideal Auto they are the BEST !!!!!!
Sharing this in hopes of helping someone avoid a negative experience. Car purchases are significant expenses and access to quality, dependable transportation affects quality of life and the ability to do things like get to work. Dealerships cant be held accountable for every single thing that happens to a car, but they absolutely can and should be held accountable for the experience they provide and the way customers feel after engaging with them.Overview:-- I was repeatedly inconvenienced with having to play middle man between the dealer and multiple service shops they used to address the issue I had with my car immediately after purchase--Not sure how thorough of an inspection they do of cars -- the car I purchased didnt take gas. Not sure how that could have been missed in a thorough check of the car.--Management did not once acknowledge or speak to me, even though my car had to be serviced 4 times within the first few weeks of purchase.--If you have issues, demand that they cover the cost of a rental if you need one. They will not provide a loaner. Theres no reason you should buy a car and then have to pay for a rental as well. They only covered the cost the second time I had to rent.--Tip: taking a few minutes to read of few of their responses to negative reviews offers great insights into the energy and experience you can expect.Detailed experience:Went here in November after my car was totaled. Was hesitant to buy from this place because the cars do not come with a warranty. When I expressed this hesitancy, the salesman stated that warranties are not important, because they do good business and make sure their customers are taken care of.I purchased a car. Had it a couple days. When I go to put gas in the car, it takes literally 5 to 10 minutes to fill it up with gas. The gas pump would stop as if the car was full and you literally could not pump for more than a few seconds at a time.Took the car back to Ideal Auto. They arranged service, however, I had to take the car to their mechanic - three times (twice to one shop and once to another). Essentially, I was an unpaid part of their customer service department and was left responsible to deliver messages and my car to the shop they had working on the car.Once the issue was not resolved for a third time, they took over the process after I refused to continue being the middle man in the process.During the process, I had to rent a car twice, as I was told that they no longer provide loaners while cars are serviced. They did not cover the cost of the rental the first time, and covered it the last time after my expressed frustration with the whole process.The problem ended up getting resolved weeks after I purchased the car. With the exception of the first rental, they did cover all costs.During this time, I asked to speak with the owner and was told that I didnt need to and that the salesperson I was working with was the only person I needed to speak with.Fast forward a few weeks, and now the car wont accelerate due to an electronic throttle control or whatever. I have absolutely no trust in the safety of the car, even if I fix it, and, yet again, am left having to rent a car for a third time even though I purchased a car less than 6 months ago.
Just bought a car last month from ideal auto. Highly recommend this company. Charles helped me pick the car out that i wanted and was in and out of the dealership in less then 3 hours. Ideal auto also bought my other car from me the same day. I recommend this place if you are looking for a used car and i would ask for Charles.
Great staff. Very kind and respectful. Very much enjoyed my conversation with Felicia and Jasmine. You need to buy your next car here.Come on down to IDeal! They will get you riding in an awesome vehicle.
The dealership took my money I put $4000 down and they said that I owed them $2000, this dealership sells cars that have issues, they sold a 2012 Audi A 8 and it has so many issues that they did not disclosed, this Dealership will ripped you off completely do not go there. The cats they sell have a lot of problems!
My experience with Ideal was fantastic. They have a genuine warm kindness within their business culture. The sales process was low pressure; it was the exact opposite of what most are accustomed to when visiting dealerships. George makes sure the inventory he puts on the lot are dependable used vehicles, and he stands by that. Since I purchased my truck, there have been a few issues, and they are taking care of them. I highly recommend this company. Great owner and team!!
This was one of the best car buying experiences Ive ever had.
Jasmine was great she helped put me in a car very quick great customer service rep keep it up u guys rock!!!!!!
I recently purchased a vehicle from Charles at Ideal Auto and it was a good experience from beginning to end. Previously I had purchased from larger dealerships and this team Charles, James and Mark definitely took the time address all my questions, the vehicle was immaculate.Looking for a preowned vehicle go by or check out the website.
I purchased a vehicle at Ideal Auto today from Mark. My experience was wonderful. The entire staff was very friendly and professional.
I purchased a car here a few days ago and I can honestly say the process was a breeze because my sales person Charles was amazing! He took care of everything and got me into the car I wanted. He was courteous, honest and upfront. I would definitely recommend Ideal Auto and ask to see Charles! He’s the best!
Mark Lowry really looked out for me and made sure I was good.....and got me what I wanted
I believe in small businesses because I am one of them. I also don’t believe in write a bad reviews. However, I will not recommend Ideal Auto to my friends and family. They provide a good customer service at the beginning of the transaction but after they got my money.. they just ignored my issues. This is not a forum for all details but Bill the sale representative just don’t follow up with his customers. I purchased a 41k truck and the results of the truck not the best. I was hoping for them to fix the issues of my truck but instead they ignored me and treated me like I just don’t know what I am talking about it. I am very disappointed because again.. I believe in small businesses. I hope someone else don’t have to experience the same. I will definitely go on my next company truck to a bigger dealer.
I would like to thank Mark at I-Deal Auto for the great customer service he provided to me with purchasing a car form the dealership. I was passing by and spotted a car I had been lookin for and turned around to go to the dealership and check it out. I knew I would not be able to get the car because I had just committed to a new car loan in January. Mark asked me a lot about the current loan and if I wanted the car I had been looking at.. I told him yes but there was no way to get out of the loan commitment from January. He asked me to leave it to him and let him do what he does in helping people. I left the dealership feeling pretty good. The next day Mark called and informed me that the car had sold that night. I was very disappointed. A week later Mark called and told me to come pick up my car. I asked how did this happened and what car am I picking up? Mark searched for me another car to replace the one that was sold and since I had already been approved all I had to do was pick it up. He stayed late and ensured all the paperwork was taken car of. Now I am sending my son there to buy a car. Thank you Mark I am very happy..Teresa Miles
Found these guys online and it was definitely an experience!! These fellas worked with me even with living out of town. Stand up fellas here. If your looking and dont go to this dealership your making a mistake. This is THE place to go. Well worth every mile to meet these guys!! And extremely satisfied with my purchase.
I am Britney Duhaney. I went to this place to buy a vehicle but left because I was short on some important issue. I left and they call back within 30 minutes. They said they like when customers leave feeling please. They did everything for me. I did not even think I could leave with the car. I only went to enquire. They did everything right away so I could leave with the car. They even kept telling me to choose my car and ensure that I drive it and is very pleased. I tried about 5 cars and they never seem annoyed. Very friendly people. Best customer service I ever got. Bill is great. Everybody is great cant remember all their names. This is the place to go. I would recommend my entire family to them. Love them.
Bought a Ford Raptor from George and Bill a few days ago. Both were phenomenal to work with. Very laid back, reasonably priced cars and willing to deal. I highly recommend ideal if you are in the market for a high quality used car. Im a huge fan and will be back. Thanks George and Bill, love the truck!
Charles, was very professional and educated on all the options my BMW 7 Series had to offer. I was treated with respect and he was very patient with me during the car buying process. He selected the best warranty for my BMW 7 Series, found a fantastic 3.3% interest rate and had his body shop touch up the paint. I will most definitely recommend iDeal Auto to all of my friends, family and coworkers. I am loving the car and as of now I have no regrets with my vehicle purchase from iDeal Auto.Thanks,Brett
By far the easiest auto purchase I’ve ever experienced. Charles did a fantastic job getting us into a great vehicle. Ideal Auto is our dealership of choice moving forward!!
Not your ordinary used car dealer! These guys know customer service. They are building something special here. The quality of vehicles on this lot is surprising but not as surprising as the down-to-earth attitudes from the staff. Felt like I had known these guys for forever by the time I left. George, Brett and Todd were all very attentive and made sure my Wife and I were comfortable during our purchase.One thing that surprised me was the fact that they encouraged me to either take the car to a mechanic or have one come onsite to check it out. I actually had a mechanic meet me at the dealership and he gave my Land Rover Range Rover Sport a clean bill of health. I honestly feel that George and his team will do whatever is required to earn your trust. They understand that the key to success is being a car dealer that the community can rely on and trust. I drove 2.5 hours to get to the dealership and will definitely do it again next time I need a car. I will also point my friends and family to these guys.
Charles was extremely knowledgeable, patient and thorough from beginning to end. I was thrilled with how fast and easy the process was. Most impressed with original price and final price after tax tags and fees, didn’t send me to the cleaners like most car dealerships. So happy with the way I was treated, customer service was above and beyond! Thanks Charles, see you for my next purchase.
The sale process went well. The sale guy seems to be on top of things but doesnt have much say after the sale is done. The problem I have with this dealer is that I took the car to a BMW dealer and payed over $350 to inspect the car before buying it. The BMW dealer indicated that there is an OIL pan leak and should be fixed. Also pointed out some other minor issue that I didnt worry about too much. By the way replacing a gasket on a 2012 BMW X5 costs over $3000. Then I made a deal with Ideal Auto to pay full asking price if they replaced the Oil Pan gasket. They agreed to take it to their own auto repair shop because they said it isnt going to cost much. They called me indicating the gasket is replaced. I bought the car and thinking everything is good. It turns out they havent replaced the oil pan gasket. Now the car is still leaking oil and Im not sure what I can do. I do have documentation of this issue and thinking of seeking an attorneys help. Regardless, my advice to anyone buying an auto from this dealer (Ideal Auto) is to do a good job in dotting your Is and crossing your Ts. Or better yet get a car from a different dealer.
I brought a car from ideal autoAnd for the first time I felt good about the deal . So much that I brought my wife back and she got one. Mark is the guy to talk to there and I highly recommend him good guy great dealership
Owner refuses to talk to customers. Had to go through the receptionists as if this was Deal or No Deal. I had cash in hand and was willing to negotiate for a better price or very minimum financing, but he still wasn’t willing to talk. Car was overpriced by KBB and NDA. When I asked about the value, the receptionist stated that she don’t know and didn’t have the means to look it up. No business should ever treat customers the way I was just treated.
These guys are absolute lifesavers. My good friend had a tough time finding a way into a vehicle after being out of work delivering pizza due to an injury for over a month and his short credit history in the United States. We stopped by iDeal and discussed his situation and the need to get him in a vehicle he could finance. Not only were they able to make a deal happen, they had him out the door and on his way to work with time to spare. The sales team was honest and eager to help, I look forward to doing business with them again and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a car with difficult financing needs.
Love the customer service at iDeal auto! Charles made sure to take care of any issues with the car I purchased before the sale was complete. If you need a good car and a great sales person, go see Charles at iDeal!
We dealt with Shawn who was a nice, genuine guy. The staff at this dealership really worked for the business and didnt act like they were doing you a favor. More dealerships in the area need to take notes from Ideal Auto. We would definitely go back and do business with them again. Thanks for the great service and vehicle guys. - Tyler
Mark and the rest of the team at Ideal Motors were responsive from day one, starting with my initial inquiry, and continuing through a period of weeks until I was able to get the the car I was looking for. There were 4 other cars on lot that I was considering but Mark helped me navigate pass those to help me get what I was looking for. The transaction was quick and easy 15 minutes at the most I was out of there. Since I had an approval letter from the bank, I was able to drive off of the lot with the new car that day. Im thrilled with the car and would definitely recommend Ideal Motors if youre in the market for a pre-owned car.
Great experience!. Steve A. Stand in contact with me till they got the truck I wanted. Awesome Truck Thank You.
I purchased a car from iDeal yesterday. They were very kind and professional. I dealt with Bill who was very professional from the first phone call to the completion of the sale. I met the owner of the dealership George who was also very accommodating. The entire environment was very inviting. It did not feel like they were trying to pressure a sale. I highly recommend them.Kevin
Great experience with going to this dealership. Found a couple issues with the truck during test drive and visual inspection. Bill and the staff immediately said that everything found would be professionally corrected before purchasing at no cost to us.Even tho we didnt end up making a deal on the vehicle that we came to purchase, I would still recommend people going and checking out iDeal Auto for their next purchase. Very friendly staff and no pressuring you while you are there!
Just bought my 3rd car from ideal Auto. I really appreciate everyone at this dealership. They always make me feel at home and make sure I get the right car for me and my family. Thanks for everything Bill, George, Charles and everyone else at ideal Auto. See ya again soon!
I love this place they did a great jobThey help so wonderful we are really happy to all the processCharles boamah & James M Brown
The beginning of March my husband and I stopped at ideal auto. We were greeted by George, the owner. No high pressure. He just let us look around. The second car I saw I knew was the right one. We liked everything about the sale, the financing, George offering to do something that needed done on the car and after the sale. Charles, a salesman at Ideal also made me feel very comfortable and confident in idealauto when I had to bring the car back for some work on it. The times I went, George always came and greeted me when I was there. My husband has already recommended them to co-workers. We give ideal auto 5 stars and more for the great service, quality of the car and their friendliness.
I worked with Charles here to buy my beautiful Volkswagen Tiguan. Car was already in great shape but had a couple issues and not only did they cut me a great deal but they went above and beyond to make sure that any issues were resolved. Hes always very responsive when I call which is awesome as well. I got an amazing deal on a great car and I couldnt recommend Charles or Ideal Auto more.
Good service..I feel over priced after I got truck home issued happened..
Ask for Bill!!!!!!!An awesome experience. They help me budget the cost of my car and gave me a 30 day 1000 mile warranty on vehicle. Bill put me in a new car the same day I arrived and this is my second time buying from him. Amazing salesmen and even better person !
I want to thank your company again for your wonderful service. Its hard to find that these days and my family really appreciate you. I will not do business with any other dealer. You cars are awesome and you stand by them, your employees are friendly and very knowledgeable. My husband will be in the market for another pick up truck soon and guess where we will be going? #iDealAuto
Hi my name is Christopher Jones and I had a great experience with the staff and Srx Caddillac that I bought, they even allowed me me to pay down on car until I had enogh to drive off with it which help me keep working. Thank you !
Be careful when they say they put vehicle through inspection bought mine from out of state and had trans leake and dangerous tire tread. they want nothing to do with u after sale. unfortunate I cant give a 0 star. They called that car a cherry with those issues. True used car guys also radio didnt work. Just taking advantage of people
Best car buying experience period. A little backstory...I’m in the military and live near the D.C. area. I saw a vehicle they posted on autotrader last week and reached out to the team. Bill contacted me shortly after. I thought living 4hrs and 250 miles from the dealership would make things difficult but it did not. The team there put me at ease and didn’t rush me into anything. I drove the distance on a Saturday and Bill met me at the door. We walked in and he introduced the team who are all friendly and professional.Ramin offered me a good value for my trade and we reached a deal quickly. Spent another 20 minutes doing paperwork with James then I was on my way home. A total of 2 hours spent at the dealership. Not sure about everyone else but that’s pretty impressive.Thank you iDeal Auto. Special thanks to Bill, Ramin, and James. I tell you all though, the whole team awesome.
I recently purchased a 4Runner I LOVE from here. The car was in awesome condition. I am super happy with my purchase, not to mention Todd the salesman paid to fill up my gas tank after I purchased the car. Worth checking them out, Todd will make sure youre happy!
If you are in the market for a vehicle make Ideal Auto your first stop! Mark (Lowry) was essential to me receiving the most affordable and “ideal” option that fit my taste and budget. His attention to detail and extremely honest and friendly demeanor made this the best car buying experience I have had. They really believe in putting their customers first!
I had been searching for a used BMW 328i online with no luck for months, and within the week of visiting George Bell with iDeal Auto, he found me the PERFECT car! Not only was it exactly what I was looking for, but he and the iDeal team made the car-buying process seamless and a breeze. They helped me secure an unbelievably low finance rate even though it was my first time buying a car on my own. Thank you iDeal Auto for making me comfortable and being amazing at what you guys do. Cant wait to buy my next car with you all!
If youre looking for a great car an a great salesman that will go the extra mile and take care of his customers see Mark @ Ideal auto.....
Bought a car at iDeal Auto at the end of 2016. While there were a couple of procedural kinks during the purchasing process, they made a good effort to sort them out. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and will be willing to deal with them again.
Definitely A good car lot to purchase a used vehicle.A great quality of cars and my salesman Will Miller was very helpful and he was upfront and honest. Ive had my car for about a week and so far so good. I would definitely recommend anybody to buy a car from this dealership. Nice, Genuine and honest people who will work with you to construct the best deal for you!
It was a great experience dealing with them. I bought a wonderful SUV and Will Miller made everything possible for me to be happy with my new car!! Thank you very much! Good place to buy a car, people just treat you right!
Great experience! I just bought a Kia Optima and I love it! Bill was excellent and very easy to work with. He even stayed well past closing for me which was very appreciated. I would definitely recommend them if youre in the market for a great car.
This is the place to go,Mr Charles was very courteous,explained everything in detailed,put a smile on my face, my car runs great no surprises,if anyone needs a car they look out for you.Go to ideal autoYou wont be disapp
They’re great ! They will get the job done what ever you need they got
Okay, I really dont know where to begin. I contacted them after seeing that they had 2 Volkswagen Passats. I emailed them late that night, but I had a response very early the next morning. I was greeted with a very professional phone call from William, who was able to answer all of my questions. I came to Raleigh 4 days after initially contacting them, and met the sales reps. Todd took care of me, he is a true character really. I am VERY impressed with the shape that their cars are in. Their lot is full of choices. My car had a low beam headlight out, but that was fixed immediately. I dont think that these guys are money hungry at all. I felt really pressured at other dealerships, but they just kept asking if there was anything I needed. I will 100000% recommend them to anyone, and I will come back for my next car also!
A pleasure to do business with. The staff and Charles are very knowledgeable and make car buying easy. I am so happy with my purchase and with the financing through the dealership. Thank you!
I found the car I wanted on the Internet and texted the dealership. They were very responsive and sent additional pictures and answered my questions. I have always bought my cars from private owners so I was a little nervous, but I was extremely surprised at the laid back and friendly atmosphere. George is a great salesman and not pushy at all. Scott helped with financing and he was very pleasant. An overall great experience and worth the drive!
Charles was great!!! He was very patient with me and informative about the vehicle I chose. I would definitely work with Ideal Auto again and I will send my family and friends there to purchase their vehicles also.
