Wondering if anyone has had dealings with them. Seems like a good place to deal with.

Here’s my rule of thumb. Don’t buy a used vehicle from a dealer who doesn’t sell new vehicles as well. I feel like a lot of the vehicles at used car lots are trade ins that didn’t pass the inspection at the bigger car lots.

I realize they're different than a typical small type lot but Carvana and Carmax are both quite nice.

I know them. They’re okay. They are used car salesmen if that helps at all

Exactly. They will act like they know all about the vehicles but don’t know squat.

There's a reason used car salesman are held in low esteem.

What is the difference between a dead used car salesman beside the road and a dead possum beside the road.

Give up.

The possum has skid marks in front of it.


It's not how much money you make, but how much you can keep.

Corky runs the one in Bessemer and we used to do most of the inspections on the cars they sold when we had the shop in Bessemer. If it needed something they either fixed it or junked it. We were never asked to cut corners.

Ken at the Hueytown store has an in house shop and does almost all repairs in house and he’s really picky about what goes on his lot


In today’s world if you buy a used car, and it EVER breaks, it’s because you got screwed and they knew they sold a lemon and not because chit happens.

I can honestly say I’ve seen both lots make repairs after the sale that I personally would have never covered

Thanks guys. Kirt seems like a good guy. I was a little concerned about buying and he said he would give me a 12 month 12k power train warranty.

Dealt with them in Bessemer when I got my first car many moons ago. Owner used to come into a feed store I worked at and was just a foul human in every way. I found this out after the vehicle purchase. I was young and didn't have a clue, nor a father in my home to clue me in. It was a piece of junk.

I can't help but think about it every time I pass the place. No idea if the same brother / sister operate it now. That was 34 years ago.

Character is not developed in moments of temptation and trial. That is when it is intended to be used.

I can take you to one who sells nothing but flood, storm, and wreck damaged vehicles.
Im not sure how he gets a clean title, but he's a thief and a liar.
