I purchased a used 2010 Audi S6 from North Bay Imports after researching cars for sale online for several weeks. After talking to Dave Mason Jr one the phone, I drove 1.5 hours to the dealership to test after researching cars for sale online for several weeks. After talking to Dave Mason Jr one the phone, I drove 1.5 hours to the dealership to test drive the car. The car was just as advertised online. As part of the negotiation of the sale, Dave agreed to install new tires ($1300), supply an iPod interface cable, condition the leather interior, and refinish two of the wheels which were peeling from a prior poor refinishing job at no additional cost. Was the process as easy as driving 10 minutes to my local Audi dealer and buying a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Audi? No, but I saved around $8000 by doing my homework and taking the time to make sure the car was in the condition as advertised online. Dave made the purchase painless, and he was very easy to deal with, both in person and via email and phone. I would definitely buy another car from Dave Mason Jr. at North Bay Imports. More
I am very pleased with my recent purchase of a 2012 VW Routan from David Mason Jr. at North Bay Imports.

I highly recommend anyone to do business with David and Mark based on my recent purchase experience. More
Overall bad experience. Car is in bad shape. Service issues. Mark will tell you anything to get a sale. If they have to fix a car it will be done as cheaply as possible. issues. Mark will tell you anything to get a sale. If they have to fix a car it will be done as cheaply as possible. More
I bought my Audi TT from North Bay. Initially everything went well....then I started to feel a vibration in the rear of the car. The car had 12,600 miles on it...I only put 4,770 on the car at this point. went well....then I started to feel a vibration in the rear of the car. The car had 12,600 miles on it...I only put 4,770 on the car at this point. When I brought it in they said that one of the rear tires had "slipped a belt". The tire was worn on the inside edge almost down to the steel belt. The tires were Pirelli Run-Flats. They said that I must have hit a pot-hole or something...which I had not. Then they said that the tires have no warranty on them....less than 13,000 miles on them. But that they could get me a good deal from Tire Rack.com as they are a Tire Rack reseller. I took the car to a real tire dealer and they laughed at North Bays B.S. excuse. First of all the rear-end was WAY out of line....which obviously wore the tire down...but of course North Bay never checked that...they just blamed me and the tire. Once the "real" tire dealer aligned it...and yes, I bought 4 new tires....but not only was the vibration gone but the car handled like a dream...and the gas milegae went way up. I tried to get a hold of Dave Mason....left him messages and e-mails as I wanted an explaination and as I told him...I'm not happy with the situation at all. He never bothered to respond. They may seem nice at first...but like your average politician...they'll smile and promise to take care of you...until you make the purchase and you need them to back their promises....then they forget all about you.

I went in to North Bay after driving an 1.5 hrs and the guy behind the desk was the rudest salesperson I've ever dealt with. I will never return to this dealer and will never recommend them! In fact the ex guy behind the desk was the rudest salesperson I've ever dealt with. I will never return to this dealer and will never recommend them! In fact the experience was so poor I will go out of my way to spread the message of the poor customer service I experienced! John More
I just purchased a gorgeous 2003 Audi RS6 from North Bay. I was searching for a used Audi RS4 or RS6 w/ a reasonable price / mileage balance. I found the RS6 at North Bay with amazingly low miles, I figured I was searching for a used Audi RS4 or RS6 w/ a reasonable price / mileage balance. I found the RS6 at North Bay with amazingly low miles, I figured it must have been a salvage title. When I contacted Dave, he reported that the title and Carfax were clean. We negotiated briefly on price and cut a deal. The most impressive thing was that AFTER we had a agreed on terms, Dave volunteered that NB would complete the 35K service (which includes timing belts by the way) 10K ahead of schedule. Awesome, I thought. The day after, Dave contacted me and reported that he found some rubber rot in the tires, so they put new tires on it. Wow. At the great price I negotiated for such a rare car, with very low miles, honestly I would have been happy without those extras. The kicker is that I live in California. Dave and I did the deal long distance, NB arranged shipping, no problems at all. After receiving the car, I took it to my long time Audi factory mechanic. He said the only thing wrong with it is that I own it, and not him. :). My experience with North Bay was very positive. I was skeptical at first I admit. The price was too good, the car was too perfect. But so far, I honestly can't find anything but a great deal. More
I had a great experience working with Dave at North Bay Imports.I previously looked at several cars and searched the internet high and low for the perfect car. I spotted the Audi A4 on the internet and dec Imports.I previously looked at several cars and searched the internet high and low for the perfect car. I spotted the Audi A4 on the internet and decided to drive 1 1/2 hours to inspect the car and to test drive it. I was thrilled with the condition of the car and the way it drove .It was just as Dave had described to me on the phone-in mint condition and a great car. It exceeded my expectations! I applied for financing which Dave assisted me in doing efficiently. He also had the paperwork organized for me in such a way that registering the car out of state was quick and easy to do. Dave and the staff were polite, kind, honest, and wonderful to do business with. I highly recommend North Bay Imports and I plan to do business with Dave and the dealership again in the future. More

By far the absolute best car buying experience I've ever had. I found the car on cars.com and, at the time wasn't really considering an Audi. But the price and line of features was what I was looking for so had. I found the car on cars.com and, at the time wasn't really considering an Audi. But the price and line of features was what I was looking for so I sent my boyfriend up to take a look. He really liked the dealership and David and loved the car. I had him put down a deposit on the car that day, pending my tech's inspection and my test drive. My boyfriend provided David with my email address, as I am unable to accept personal calls during the day. David immediately followed up with me, answered all of my questions and gave me detailed instructions on what I'd need to provide should I decide to complete the purchase. He was extremely patient and responsive to my constant barrage of questions and worked with my personal mechanic to arrange an inspection time. Even my mechanic was impressed with the dealership and shop. He said it was really down to earth and everyone was very nice. On the day I went in to test drive and buy the car, the car was ready when I arrived and David handed over the keys. I loved the car so I bought it. I was in and out of the dealership in less than 45 minutes with a new (to me) registered car in beautiful condition. The car was in showroom condition, thoroughly detailed and oil just changed. The experience was as smooth as a used car experience could possibly be and David really went the extra mile to help me make sure that everything would be ready to go the day I picked up the car.

I received a week ago a VW 2010 Touareg TDI. 6500 miles. Has looked hard and long for this exact car as it has the air suspension. I dealt only with Dave Mason. He promptly answered my questions. I live Has looked hard and long for this exact car as it has the air suspension. I dealt only with Dave Mason. He promptly answered my questions. I live on the West Coast and was very nervous about buying without looking at, and test driving car. Dave patiently answered a lot of questions both by phone and email. I got the car for about $3500 under Kelly Blue Book. Dave had local Hartford VW perform 10k service check at 6500 miles before shipping. Car arrived as advertised. Would definitely do business again in a second with Dave Mason and North Bay import. Would rec: them to East Coast customers and would confidently recommend them to distant customers who must ship the car as I did . Dave charged $1200 to me to ship the car, in line with my own on-line research. Then ran into difficulties quickly lining up a transport and paid more than $1200 to ship car. He ate the extra cost. I was very happy with my experience with North Bay. Everything seemingly as advertised. Bryan Sohl Oregon More
