Stay away from these scammers ! ! They have a "you drive off, you own" policy...less than 3 days after getting the car, antilock brake system stopped working and traction needed work ! They have a "you drive off, you own" policy...less than 3 days after getting the car, antilock brake system stopped working and traction needed work. I called and got zero help. They sold me an unsafe car, attorneys love this. Less than a month after buying it, and before I can even make a payment it keeps over heating, blown head gasket...$5000-6000. they act like they're giving you a 3 month warranty, but only up to 500.00. So now I have a worthless car, bought from an even more worthless typical used car salesman. B.S. and lies about it being a "certified used car". If you buy anything from these thieves, remember they will smile, be nice and laugh with you while buying the car, but beware if you don't have it looked over very carefully...I mean VERY CAREFULLY, take it on a 30 minutes drive....and even then... I wouldn't recommend these xxxxxxxx to anyone...unless you enjoy giving money under the premise of buy a "certified car" and when something goes wrong,, not your fault, you will be left out in the cold. Apparently they don't count on return business. This is your typical used car lot....you will get exactly what they're know for...RIPPED OFF ! DON'T BELIEVE THE POSITIVE REVIEWS....AND LISTEN TO THE BAD ONES, SAYING EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME. ! More

After I had talk with the salesman I talk to a Manager Luis, he informative about the warranty which I wanted just in case. He got me out in my new car less then 30 minutes. Excellent Staff in my opinion. More

Thank you to Glenn and staff for such a wonderful car buying experience. I was dreading the car buying process with my 18 year old daughter but we ended up having a great day at Alamo Car Center. They le buying experience. I was dreading the car buying process with my 18 year old daughter but we ended up having a great day at Alamo Car Center. They let you shop at your leisure and let you test drive as many cars as it takes to make an informed decision. The inventory is something to be desired but of course that comes with buying used cars at great prices. My daughter couldn't be happier with her choice. She loves her "new to her car". Thanks again to Glenn, you were very forthcoming about problems with certain vehicles which made us so comfortable and trusting. More
This place is a scam. DO NOT BUY FROM HERE!! I had the car for less than two weeks before it started having issues. They are not interested in hearing anything about issue DO NOT BUY FROM HERE!! I had the car for less than two weeks before it started having issues. They are not interested in hearing anything about issues as soon as you pay them. “They can’t predict what’s going to happen” after their “mechanic” says it’s ok to sell. After less then two weeks I have a car they sold me and just get an “I’m sorry I wish there was something I could do’. Sleazy shady scammers! More

I was in need of a new to me vehicle after my car from carmax was a lemon. I saw their huge lot inventory online and found a very nice Toyota Avalon limited hybrid. I drive quite a lot and the hybrid gets carmax was a lemon. I saw their huge lot inventory online and found a very nice Toyota Avalon limited hybrid. I drive quite a lot and the hybrid gets 48 miles a gallon so I went in same day, upon entering the lot I parked and started looking around for the vehicle, kind of daunting with the number of vehicles but a xxxx of a selection! I had an older gentleman approach me and ask if I knew what I was looking for and I replied yes and asked about the Toyota. He pulled out a few sheets of paper with every vehicles info and vin listed with pricing miles and everything like cheat sheets and vehicles no longer available for sale crossed out. He checked if the vehicle was avilable and kindly showed me to the vehicle. He then handed me the papers and said I can look over what else they had as well and see if anything else catches my eye and he would go grab his tag and grab any keys I’d like to test drive and of course answer any questions I may have but didn’t want to “hound me” like a used car salesman lol I get it I used to be a Toyota dealership tower manager and I hated hovering my clients lol. I got the keys and carfax from him and he said take it as long as you need check it out and let me know what you think. I went along my way took it home to diag it and see what’s going on. Vin came back as one owner previous and plenty of Regular Maintenance recorded by dealership on the cardax. It was high miles but knowing Toyotas and having plenty of history I was confident in this vehicle and decided to go ahead and take the vin,make,and model to my bank to get a pre approved check so easy finance in and out at the dealership. My bank approved the vehicle and I went back and told the gentleman I would take it and he brought me into their office building and he started getting the vehicle ready for delivery to me. Once inside their manager told me what’s what, I let him know I already got approved and had my check code and he just needed to confirm with my bank verify everything. He went over the pricing and how they have it set up, price is set and includes a few benifits including oil changes and some other Scheduled maintenance perks in the price or if I wanted to forgo those they could try to negotiate but I was completely fine with their insurance company working with them before plenty in the service lanes at Toyota. I purchased my fully loaded 2016 Toyota Avalon limited hybrid for 11k and have had zero issues. It’s been a little over 8 months and the vehicle is running fantastic and I have not had to do anything to it besides oil changes. The car was extremely clean smelled clean as well, the rear shade motor had one side slow to rise but that’s to be expected with those from Toyota and I never use it so i just leave it be but works non the less just takes a extra second or two to lift up or lower shut. Overall I’m absolutely ecstatic about this purchase and yes it’s a used car lot. You should always be careful buying ANY used vehicle. Do your research and take advantage of their long as you need test drive. They encourage you in looked over by anybody you trust or any mechanic. Take it during your test drive and build your confidence in the purchase. As I said they have a huge selection avilable and there’s sure to be something there for you! Highly recommend and Louis their manager is the man!!! More
