CarGurus Reviews Summary

However, significant concerns arise regarding transparency and pricing practices, particularly with hidden fees and perceived bait-and-switch tactics. Many customers express frustration over inconsistent pricing and a lack of responsiveness from dealerships listed on the platform. Overall, while some users appreciate the ease of finding vehicles, many report dissatisfaction with the selling process and the reliability of the information provided, indicating a need for improved communication and clarity.

Car gurus offers protections for dealers in removing negative reviews. That is why you won't see them on their site.

Last Wednesday I purchased a 2011 Mercedes-Benz E-550! This was the most pleasant car buying experience in all of my 50 years of life! Robbie Abbas and Jimmy Alomia were wonderfully helpful during the selection process of the perfect vehicle for me! They were great during the financing experience and ultimately through the delivery process! I would highly recommend Luxury Auto Selection located at 4580 N. Elston Avenue in Chicago!

Terrible customer service, flawed vehicle rating programming, content team lacking any basic skills, accuse you of falsifying reviews when a customer leaves a review, etc, etc.

Just stay away and use any other vendor! This dealership CANNOT recommend ever!

Very bad service
March 29, 2017

As a big company for advertising cars, they have very bad service to the point that they don't deserve even one star. I hate dealing with them and call them so I'm canceling my service with them.

Thank you Auto Max! The first time Ive ever had a good experience buying a car! This dealership is amazing... NO pressure buying, helpful, friendly sales team! I highly recommend Clarence Smith in sales, he was very patient and knowledgeable. Dan in finance was very personable and went above and beyond to help us. All around good guys with a moral compass...

AutoMax of Ocala, Florida
September 25, 2016

Couldn't say enough about the experience here buying a used vehicle. Ryan was my sales person and Cecil made it all happen for me. The sales people don't work on a commission so the whole thing was about what I wanted and it went so smoothly. Highly recommend Auto Max of Ocala.

My daughter was looking for an affordable, nicely equipped Ford Explorer. She found exactly what she was looking for online@ City of Cars in Troy, MI. We live an hour and a half drive north of Troy, the drive was the worst part of the experience. Our sales rep Buzz made us feel comfortable like we were family, no high pressure sales tactics here! How often do you contact a used car salesman to thank them after the purchase? Almost never, over the past 30 days, a minimum of a half dozen times.

False advertising
June 3, 2016

I searched Car Gurus for several weeks and finally settled on a listing for a 2015 Prius 5 with 7K+ miles. I contacted the dealer (Duells Evansville Kia Mazda) through Car Gurus and drove 140 miles to see it. I was given a rush test drive in an unfamiliar car in unfamiliar surroundings in traffic. After getting the car home I discovered it was not a prius 5 as listed and did not have the features I wanted. I notified the dealer and within a couple hours the listing was changed to reflect the car I purchased. Duells Evansville Kia Mazda claims they have nothing to do with the listings on Car Gurus. I think Car Gurus is aiding and abetting crooked dealers such as Duells Evansville Kia Mazda.

Great site for car shopping. There is a menu where you can send an email to the dealer. Many choices and comparisons. Really gives good insight to a good car for a good price.
Easy to use. No registration required.

This site is easy to navigate and they have a multitude of used cars. The only real issue I have is this, the car dealerships featured on the site are not responsive. I've sent numerous inquires about cars I'm interested in, but not a single dealership has responded. I don't know if the blame lies with the site or with the dealerships.
