Our last experience with Darlings's service was very negative. We purchased four brand new tires from them for our Nissan Rogue that were rated for 65,000 miles. At only 25,000 miles (14 months later) w negative. We purchased four brand new tires from them for our Nissan Rogue that were rated for 65,000 miles. At only 25,000 miles (14 months later) we discovered from our local mechanic that they won't pass inspection. We never take our Rogue off-road or put it in any poor-terrain situations. Our mechanic told us that the brand of tires we had on it are known to be such poor quality that he refuses to buy them and put them on any of his customers' cars. I called Darlings' Service Center to find out why they would have sold us this kind of cheap tire, I was immediately put on the defensive and peppered with questions about how many times we've had our tires rotated, did we need an alignment, have we had damage that would have impacted tire life, etc. There was no apology or explanation provided for why they would choose to offer their customer such an inferior product. We won't be going to Darlings for service ever again, nor will we go to them to buy a car again, even though we bought our last two from them. More
Kendall Seavey was an absolute pleasure to work with on the purchase of my new car! Because of the current market, inventory is scarce everywhere. So when I told Kendall what car I wanted, he made it happe the purchase of my new car! Because of the current market, inventory is scarce everywhere. So when I told Kendall what car I wanted, he made it happen. I ordered the car before it was built, which was a new experience for sure. But Kendall kept me updated on everything. When it was getting closer to arrival, he went ahead and started the financing process for me. When the day arrived for me to get my new car, it was such a lovely and EASY experience. Thank you, Kendall, for being so great to work with! More
“You’ll do better, at— a different dealer.”Had a “You’ll do better, at— a different dealer.” Had a pleasant experience leasing my first vehicle here, so naturally I came back to purchase a vehicle p “You’ll do better, at— a different dealer.” Had a pleasant experience leasing my first vehicle here, so naturally I came back to purchase a vehicle post-lease. After spending hours at the dealership, feeling exhausted, they found a car more comfortably within my budget, an ‘08 Civic. All was well for about a year; Honda’s are known for their reliability, Civics especially, with room to tune and generally economical parts. Alas, my engine block cracked, leaked coolant, burnt all the oil off, and left my stock *plastic* dipstick charred and decimated. Surprised, I searched the internet to see if this was a common issue, and yes it was. All ‘06-‘08 along with some ‘09 Civics were issued TSB 10-048, wherein Honda would replace the engine, free of charge, and extended the standard warranty up to 10 years. Why this wasn’t done to this vehicle, I don’t know. However, here it was at a Honda dealership, hastily brought to me at the end of the business day. Had I known about this particular TSB, I likely wouldn’t have purchased this vehicle, and at the very least I would’ve bought the dealer’s assuredly absurd extended warranty. After more than a month of deliberation, they couldn’t do anything for me. Bottom line: don’t let this dealership leave you blindsided. Don’t think they have your best interest at hand. More

No matter what the situation is, she is amazing and would recommend that you see her for your next car. She is honest and will not give you any bull or nonsense. See Her. She had 5 other customers waiting while I was there. I had my car bought and off the lots within 2 hours. Sue from Financing was awesome too. Thank you both for making my experience More

Pandemic car purchase, Great results! When searching to buy a car at the beginning of May, it was a tough decisions, as there was very little known about the current state of the pandemic. When searching to buy a car at the beginning of May, it was a tough decisions, as there was very little known about the current state of the pandemic. Darlings was more than fantastic during the process in accommodating safety protocols. Test driving was great, and was safe and simple. Ryan, our sales person, facilitated all aspects of the sale, helped coordinate our paperwork electronically, and at the end of it all, Delivered the vehicle to our home. Hands down our best and easiest car purchase. More
