This is my Pre-Retirement dream job, after 30 plus years in automotive management at the highest level, I am enjoying working for this privately held family business that has such integrity. They have a wonderful and transparent approach to selling their Pre-Own vehicles. I enjoy my time off playing with my dogs, golfing and reading.

It was a good experience until getting my vehicle home. Upon pulling my $40k truck into my garage I noticed what appeared to be a film on my truck. I rubbed my hand over the truck and to my surprise, there Upon pulling my $40k truck into my garage I noticed what appeared to be a film on my truck. I rubbed my hand over the truck and to my surprise, there was over spray covering the ENTIRE vehicle. And some very bad body work on the rear of the truck that wasn’t noticeable in the sunlight. The LED lights in my garage showed it all off.. NOW I don’t know about you, but I never run my hands over a freshly cleaned vehicle - it’s bad for the paint!! Upon calling the dealer and speaking to my salesmen, I was told that they’re a “used car facilitator” NOT A DEALER. And unable to mediate something like this. Something like this should’ve been taken care of before a sale. I was under the impression when I chose to do business with this facilitator, they were above typical dealership practices. Nope. You sign, they want nothing to do with you. Now this establishment will not remove this overspray from my vehicle and am left to fit the expense of having it clay barred to correct the paint. Consider running your hands all over their cars before purchasing. Not happy and would not recommend. Edit: sub-par response that the vehicles are sold as-is. Again.. how often does anyone run their hand across a freshly cleaned car? Hmm?? No one. I suggest running your hands over every single car in this lot before you even consider test driving anything. A Better slogan for this buy here pay here style facilitator as my “facilitator “ Hali said, is signed and screwed. Not happy at all to be paying even more out of pocket on a truck i put a sizable down payment on to have my paint corrected. I honestly wish I took my business elsewhere. More

When buying a vehicle when living in another state, they disguise their paperwork fee as taxes that were supposed to be paid for the state that you’re going to!

I bought a used vehicle from CarLink in August 2023, which I had shipped to me. The vehicle still smells like an ashtray, despite me asking if there were any smoke odors in the car prior to purchase. I' which I had shipped to me. The vehicle still smells like an ashtray, despite me asking if there were any smoke odors in the car prior to purchase. I've steam-cleaned and deodorized it twice and the smell is engrained in the car. I had asked about any engine leaks or oil spots, or other issues with the car to which the salesman, Hali Garcia ensured me there were none. CarLink's claim is that "each car is gone over and thoroughly inspected" and a "family business". I took the car to get inspected and learned that to pass inspection it needs new brakes, a new valve cover gasket and PCV valve, and a tie rod. When I contacted Mr. Garcia and informed him of these issues to ask for CarLink to help make this right, I basically got a "too bad" response and verbatim comments from him were "the warranty wouldn't have covered those items anyway"; "it's not catastrophic"; and "it doesn't matter what you 'feel'". Thankfully I have the email chain to support everything in this review. $2,000 in repairs just to pass inspection is bad business. DO NOT buy a car from this dealer or trust Hali Garcia or you will get burned and totally misled. I'm not sure how these guys sleep at night. More
