Charleston Auto Sales

I recently bought a 2008 Forester from Jim. This was by far the most pleasent car buying expierence. He was very straight forward, and extremely helpful. He handled everything in the sales from start to fi far the most pleasent car buying expierence. He was very straight forward, and extremely helpful. He handled everything in the sales from start to finish in a professional manner and knew exactly what he had and what he was trying to sell. I would send all of my friends and family there, in fact I can't wait to go and see Jim again in the next few months for another purchase. If you are looking for a quality pre-owned car he is hands down the guy to go see (he is who i will buying my cars from for here on out)! I also have a newborn on the way and he gave me a really nice high chair he had at his business. Thanks Jim. More

Found his cars on the internet and decided on a Saturday afternoon to visit and see what he had to offer. Drove right by the first time since I was looking for a more traditional auto sales lot. Found the p afternoon to visit and see what he had to offer. Drove right by the first time since I was looking for a more traditional auto sales lot. Found the place and enjoyed the business model while looking at his cars. Ended up emailing my request and driving away a week later at the appointed time with the freshly cleaned automobile! So far, no problems. Thanks, Jim. More

I am in love with the vehicle I purchased, could not be happier. Buying it was easier than ever. Jim was super friendly, very helpful and knowledgeable about the vehicle I purchased. I was able to test happier. Buying it was easier than ever. Jim was super friendly, very helpful and knowledgeable about the vehicle I purchased. I was able to test drive it, and then just fell in love with it. The rest is history, thank you very much. I will definitely recommend this dealer from now on and will probably be back in the future.

Nightmare Car Buying Experience!!! Flew down to South Carolina from New York State to purchase a used 2005 Subaru Outback. At the time I thought I was getting a great deal and the owner (Jim Gerow) came Carolina from New York State to purchase a used 2005 Subaru Outback. At the time I thought I was getting a great deal and the owner (Jim Gerow) came across as a very trustworthy guy, but in the end I ended up getting completely screwed! Within the first week of owning the car I had to replace the entire rear drive tran, discovered that the "almost new" tires he sent me home with were not at all new and SEVERELY weather checked. Now, less than 5 months later the paint that looked so beautiful on the day I purchased the car is chipping and pealing off (apparently a clean carfax dose not mean a car has not had serious body work). This car was the worst investment I ever made, it is my hope in writing this review that I may prevent someone else from having a similar experience. If there is anyone who is skeptical of this review, or who would like more details, or to see photos of my car please feel free to contact me via email at conklinm1@yahoo.com Buyer Be Ware! More

I've had reason to work at car dealerships a good bit over the years and, sad to say, the stereotypes of car dealers are usually true. Truth does not come naturally in that environment. But I felt comple over the years and, sad to say, the stereotypes of car dealers are usually true. Truth does not come naturally in that environment. But I felt completely the opposite dealing with Jim at Charleston Auto Sales. He went above and beyond at every request. It was just straight shooting, good or bad. Even when I expressed my interest in buying an Outback I liked, he checked with a previous customer who had been interested in the car to make sure they were not still considering buying it. With a sale sitting right in front of him, he didn't want me to buy it out from under someone else. That was great to see. Lucky for me they passed and I got a great car at about two grand under blue book value, and Jim helped me through every step of the car-buying process. I am now a loyal Outback owner and I love it. Jim seemed like the best kind of small businessman, hard-working and making an honest buck. Anyone considering a Subaru (Jim does have other cars but specializes in Subaru) should take a look at Charleston Auto Sales, not just to get a great deal but also to support integrity in business. Thanks for breaking the stereotype, Jim. More

While using AutoTrader.com to search for a used Forester within 500 miles of my Florida home, I noticed that Charleston Auto had several that were priced between $1000 and $4000 less than comparable models within 500 miles of my Florida home, I noticed that Charleston Auto had several that were priced between $1000 and $4000 less than comparable models elsewhere, so I got a one-way rental car and headed to Charleston. I spent a day with Jim Gerow, kicking tires, test driving, and getting mechanics opinions before picking the Forester I wanted. Within a few minutes of my decision, Jim had all the paperwork done, delivered a clean title, and got me on the road with my Forester, which drove back to Florida like a new car. The next day at the Florida DMV things could not have gone smoother as I transferred the title into my name. Thanks, Jim. More

Jim is one of the most honest and informative dealers I have ever done business with. His cars are excellent, and he knows does a great job of having them inspected. He bends over backwards for the custo have ever done business with. His cars are excellent, and he knows does a great job of having them inspected. He bends over backwards for the customer to help them make the best decision. We were able to make a decision without being interrupted by our 3 yr old daughter because of how kid friendly this place is. I like supporting Jim because he is a great guy and he doesn't pay for a fancy showroom or advertising. This means that you don't pay for it either! I will definitely go back to him and refer my friends to him. More

My experience with Charleston Auto Sales makes my new car even more wonderful. Mr. Gerow was very professional and upfront about all of his cars. He met with me and my husband two Saturdays in a row and al even more wonderful. Mr. Gerow was very professional and upfront about all of his cars. He met with me and my husband two Saturdays in a row and allowed us to test drive all the Subarus we were interested in. He showed us previous service reports and Carfax. His prices were under Blue Book value and way under the dealership prices. I did not feel cornered or pressured at any point in the process. I would recommend Charleston Auto Sales to all my friends looking for Subarus. More

My son purchased a Integra from Jim the middle of January. The entire sales process was very exceptional. Jim answered all of my son's questions, addressed the items on the car he said he would add January. The entire sales process was very exceptional. Jim answered all of my son's questions, addressed the items on the car he said he would address and offered a exeptional trade-in deal on my son's old vehicle. I would encourage anyone interested in a used Subaru to visit and discuss their wants with Jim. I know I will when I'm in the market for a vehicle. More

Jim was extremely accommodating with his open communication and honest approach to the sale of my car. He answered questions immediately and showed integrity throughout my experience. I apprecia communication and honest approach to the sale of my car. He answered questions immediately and showed integrity throughout my experience. I appreciated that Jim's website had a wealth of knowledge that helped me prior to me having to contact him personally. His site provided a free carfax report which proves, in my opinion, that he is willing to assist the buyer with their research by absorbing that expense; modest as it may seem to some. LOVE my car and the ease of purchase. THANKS Jim! More
