Online shopping for a Cadillac xxx, out of the 5 dealers I looked at, Castle Buick had the best Cadillac, options I wanted, and within the price range I was looking for. Warmly greeted upon entering the Dea I looked at, Castle Buick had the best Cadillac, options I wanted, and within the price range I was looking for. Warmly greeted upon entering the Dealership, immediately taken to the Vehicle I came to see, there was no pressure to look at other cars, or pushy salesperson tactics. Took the car for a test drive, made the decision to purchase the vehicle. Although I was already Financed through my Credit Union, Castle Buick's finance department beat my Credit Union's Rate by over 2 whole points, helping me to achieve the affordable monthly payment I had preset for myself. I was truly satisfied with my experience at Castle Buick, the sales associates, and the manager I dealt with concerning my loan options. Enjoying my new Cadillac, would highly recommend Castle Buick to anyone! More

Called in and spoke to Gus Medina prior to my visit, he confirmed price and made sure to have my new Terrain cleaned up and ready to go. Sure enough I pulled in and saw the Terrain waiting for me outside, confirmed price and made sure to have my new Terrain cleaned up and ready to go.

I arrived at the dealership at the time of my pre-set appointment to see and test drive a particular vehicle. I found out it had been sold about 30 minutes before I arrived, so I looked around and found appointment to see and test drive a particular vehicle. I found out it had been sold about 30 minutes before I arrived, so I looked around and found another car I liked much better, for an even better price. My salesman was a young man named Alfanso who was very professional, friendly and amazingly helpful. He actually made buying a car a pleasant experience. No pressure whatsoever. The accessories guy, Danny, was also very professional and helpful, as was Tony in finance. From start to finish, I was treated very well and can only hope their service department lives up to the very high standard the sales people have set. I would recommend this dealership to anyone in the market for a car. The deal I walked away with felt quite fair and I am completely satisfied. I'll be referring all of my friends and family here. Oh yeah, and did I mention that when you buy a car here you get free oil changes and car washes as long as you own the car? Nice touch, very nice touch. More

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS DEALER. After I put a down payment on a car, they cashed my check and then sold the car to someone else the day before I was going to come in and sign the paperwork. on a car, they cashed my check and then sold the car to someone else the day before I was going to come in and sign the paperwork.

To Whom It May Concern: On March 5, 2013 at about To Whom It May Concern: On March 5, 2013 at about 6pm, I bought a vehicle at Castle Buick GMC for the first time - a 2003 Black Ford Escort ZX To Whom It May Concern: On March 5, 2013 at about 6pm, I bought a vehicle at Castle Buick GMC for the first time - a 2003 Black Ford Escort ZX2. I was treated nicely verbally, but when I left the dealership with the vehicle at around 7:30pm, on the way home the 'Check Engine Soon' light came on. I called the salesman while heading home and he stated that it was likely caused by one of their service guys leaving the gas cap loose. He suggested I stop and make sure that the gas cap was secured completely. I pulled off the road and checked and the gas cap was on securely, so I called the salesman again and he asked if I wanted to bring the vehicle back to the dealership that night since they would still be open for a while (until 9pm). When I got back to the dealership, the salesman told me that he would have the vehicle looked at. I waited for at least 30 minutes, then the salesman told me that the warning light probably came on because the car just needed to be run for a while since it had been sitting for some time without being started or driven. When I left the dealership with the vehicle, the warning light was off, but came back on the next day. I took the vehicle back to the dealership and they told me the thermstat was bad. They replaced the thermostat at no charge. When I left the dealership with the vehicle, the warning light was off, but came back on the very next day. I took the vehicle back to the dealership and they told me the thermostat was bad. They replaced the thermostat at no charge. Just as always do, I then took the vehicle to a very reliable auto shop that I have been using for the last few years to have them do a thorough inspection of the vehicle. They printed out the quote(s) for all the repairs that this vehicle still needs, which totals over $3000: Speedometer and Cruise Control Not Working Valve Cover Gasket Leaking - Burning Smell from Engine - Needs Replacing Exhaust Manifold Cracked and Needs Replacing Timing Belt, Water Pump, Belts and Hoses Need Replacing Front Tie Rod Ends and Ball Joints Need Replacing All Shock Absorbers and Struts Need Replacing Transmission Mount Needs Replacing Air Conditioner Does Not Work Fuel Filter Needs Replacing Rear Brakes Need Cleaning and Adjustment I was shocked and called again to speak with the salesman who sold the me the vehicle. All he said to me was that the car starts and runs. Then I called and spoke with a senior car salesman and he stated that he would see what he could do. I never heard back from him at all. I called and spoke with the General Manager of the dealership. He asked me to send the service quotes to him and that he would have the Shop Manager call me to see what he could do to reduce the cost of the repairs. Once again, I did not get any call from the Shop Manager, so I called and spoke with him and he said that all he could do was take $150 total off of what it would cost the dealership for the repairs. I told him that this was not all satisfactory. I then contacted Wells Fargo Services (who I make my vehicle payments to) and they sent out one of their salesman to contact the dealership. I was later told that the dealership also told the Wells Fargo saleman that they would not do any repairs on the vehicle. I told Wells Fargo that, due to this huge issue, I wanted to have the car re-possessed. They told me that the vehicle's value is too low for them to come and pick it up. I am very upset and absolutely will never do business with this dealership again and am letting everyone I know what my experience has been with this dealership as well and advising them to also not do any business with them.
