Honestly ? The sales person I had was terrible ! She didn’t know anything about what cars wS coming in or when she also told me she had to speak with her “boss” about my application 😭🥱 but last time I checked it was for people with bad credit 🙃 I was employed 10/12 months last year and it’s also been days with NO ANWSER !

If I could give 10 stars I would. They have been excellent to me. I highly recommend them to friends and family. The service department is wonderful as well as the owner Gerry. Will get my next car from them as well.

When I moved back to the area 9 years ago from a nasty divorce that destroyed my credit. I went to multiple car dealers and got denied, EZ Own was my last hope. And when others turned me away EZ Own said yes. EZ Own since became my second family and I got to know everybody and bought multiple vehicles from them since with wonderful memories.

I’m a returning customer 3rd time!!!! Sarah is your go-to in the sales dept!!! Jerry is the decision maker!!! There’s not enough said about this auto dealership!! If you have written a “negative “ review about EZ Own Auto…clearly that’s the energy you brought!!! Again, thank you Sarah for setting it up and thank you Jerry for being the same from over 10 years ago❤️. They are now a lease with the option to buy auto dealership. If you know me, I’m not referring anyone unless I’ve had an experience with them!! Don’t worry about your credit, ensure that you have income enough to pay and go with the right attitude I guarantee you you’ll get a Vehicle… That is affordable for your pockets, detailed like a brand new vehicle!!

EZ Own Auto is the best experience I've ever had with a car dealership! I usually wait to give a review because I've had bad experiences with other used car dealers after purchasing in the past, but this place has exceeded my expectations. I bought a car here back in April after being turned down a few other places. My car was so well kept, I still get compliments on it like it's brand new. I haven't had any issues! They really gave me a great running car, all I have to do it keep up with the maintenance. The best and most appreciated part about this place, any time I call with any issue, they're so friendly and welcoming. I tell anyone I know who's looking for a used car to go to EZ Own Auto!

I came here in my early twenties when my credit wasn’t the best and found super friendly staff that had patience when I had questions during the purchase process. I drove off the lot confident that I made a good financial decision and a comfortable payment plan. My credit is now in good shape and I still plan to consider them for my next car. The woman who takes my payments is the sweetest and remembers my name, giving the place that small business charm. Id highly recommend them to anyone, good or bad credit.

Excellent Service! Honest, trustworthy and quick turnaround time. I have been a customer here for many years and I've always gotten great service. The employees are honest, fair and understanding. The service is speedy, and I can always make an appointment with no issues. Just because the service is speedy doesn't mean they skimp on quality. I always feel I've paid a fair price and that I'm leaving feeling confident with the work performed on my vehicle. I will be a customer for many years to come.

Bought an 04 Explorer Limited here in 2012 when I crashed my other truck and needed a vehicle. They had a Chevy I was interested in but did a thorough inspection and found the frame was bad. I got the Ford and when it needed a wheel bearing and spark plug, EZ Own fixed it for free and I got a loaner! I drove the truck from Ny to Texas without fail and everywhere after. It eventually needed an ECM chip but I still sold the truck, it was fixed and is still running! The staff were always nice and understanding when I missed a payment or needed time. I can't say enough for EZ Own! I even had someone w a BMW X5 jealous of my Limited! They helped me in a time of need and I got a gorgeous vehicle I was proud of! Came back for a second vehicle and got a low mileage Impala that’s loaded. Any issues promptly fixed. Sometimes, the issues don’t come out until you drive it a bit and they will fix it. I had new brakes put on, air filter, code cleared from engine (old air filter had mouse chew it and pieces went inside), and wheel bearing for free. Dan is still there years later and he sold me the Explorer I loved so much. I wish I kept it! Now got a third vehicle from here. Once again, car was promptly fixed and paid for by them. Examined by an outside mechanic with no issues. They always helped me when in a pinch!

Worst place ever, they DO NOT follow up with what they say they will do. The service department is half a$$ed. Cant even keep their tools straight (twice I had to give them back tools that were left in my vehicle). The purchased vehicle wasnt even correct before it left the lot the first time. But mysteriously could not find anything wrong. DO NOT SHOP!

Just recently bought a car a week ago the first indicator I was making a mistake was that the battery was dead when I went to test drive it along with a blinker light out...they fixed the blinker light durring the inspection because I mentioned it.... Got the car home and went to get dinner and realized one of the headlights was out then the engine light came on.... I knew something was up when the guy in the garage Dan told me the lights run in circuits ...I normally work on all my own cars I just let him think I was that stupid to believe that....then he fixes the one code that came up the O2 sensor and not the other because he said they were related and deleted the codes .... Dont you know it the light came back on ... After playing phone tag I have an appointment to come in this morn and hes not their and none of his employees are aware of whats going on.. this has been a hassle I think they need a restructure because communication seems to not exist amongst the employees.

Seems like a great place. Always helpful, kind, courteous. A place to do business with. I have seen them deal with customers, fix cars, and handle other areas of their business. They are pretty straightforward. What you see is what you get. They want you to be happy and be a repeat customer and go out of their way to make that happen. If looking to trade in your old broken down car or just want an upgrade, they do their own financing. They will make it happen if its possible and they try hard. They want your business and want you happy. They want to build a good rapport with you for continued business in the years to come. They will ensure your new car is in great running condition and when you pull out they will still know your name, not like at other places. If something arises just give them a call with your concerns and they deal with it. They stand behind what they sell.
