With chip shortage, used cars are at a premium. I looked in Phlynte, Lansing, and Detroit. My cousin suggested John and sons. My wife is enjoying the new to town and country. The pricing and deal was straight forward, no high pressure, and paperwork was quick. i wouldve given 5 stars but lets let deal settle and the car get broke in before I upgrade the rating...

John and Sons Auto is a great dealership to work with! The staff is very friendly and helpful and the prices they list are very reasonable. I just purchased a vehicle yesterday and they handled all the paperwork and got everything settled so I was ready to go the next day! This is the third vehicle my family has purchased from them and I would highly recommend shopping here to anyone looking for a good reliable vehicle at a fair price.

Bought my vehicle from these guys. I worked with Luis. He was very nice, and made the process easy. They were up front about everything including buying the vehicle ‘as is’. I love my car! It’s very clean, runs great, and great deal. Advise for those who buy cheaper cars; you get what you pay for 🤷🏻‍♀️

I had a great experience buying our new car. Great customer service from start to finish. The sales man Luis even assisted me figuring out how to use all the little bells and whistles on the car that I could not figure out! Very satisfied with everyone there especially Luis and Ed. I would definitely buy from them again

Ed was on the lookout for a car for our 16 year old daughter, and called immediately when he found what thought would be a good fit for her. From the beginning, he went above and beyond. He was very accommodating in arranging the test drive and had it detailed beautifully for her. And we love that they are able to take care of the Secretary of State details on site. Ed got us the Carfax report which made us feel very confident with our purchase. Highly recommend!

I would highly recommend John & Sons to any of my family and friends. I just recently bought an SUV from them after my original car was totaled in an accident. I was getting weary of the car search and finding their dealership was a breath of fresh air! Luis was so kind and patient. He worked with us to negotiate a price and we could tell that he truly wanted us to walk away with something we were happy with. He was very honest and not pushy at all. Id give them 5 stars all the way and plan to return if/when I need another vehicle in the future!Thanks John & Sons for the best car buying experience Ive had!

Luis was a great help he was nice and helpful and worked with us on the price and we drove away very happy with our purchase.

It is rather difficult today to find a good dealership that one can not only trust, but also has great customer service. Overall, they were a very friendly, no pressure customer experience which to me is very important as many dealers only care about pushing sales and can be very aggressive. They were very upfront about the vehicles condition, and had no issue with me taking it to have a pre-purchase inspection. My experience with John and Sons was very positive, they were willing to work with me setting up a time to look at and later purchase the car, and did not sell it out from under me as other people were interested, which many dealers would have done. Overall, I would recommend and would buy another car in the future.

Review №24

The customer service was amazing. The employees were honest, easy to talk to, and seemed like they were trying to help rather than make a sale. I have driven the car they sold me over 400 miles already in the past 2 days and ZERO issues have come about. I will definitely be returning in the future for my next car.

Review №25

**BUYERS BEWARE!** I wish I could give this company a “0” star review. This company sells junk vehicles without inspecting them at all, and will not refund you what so ever when you have enough proof showing they have complete disregard for the safety of their buyers. I would not recommend this company to anyone! We are out almost $2600, and with their complete disregard of basic safety standards I would NEVER recommend this company to anyone. The Grand Rapids Rapid Bus system is a better mode of transportation than this company. If anyone does, for some reason, decide to go here - good luck. You’re in for one horrid experience.

Just got to Michigan from New York and I Came in on my own research and picked my car out and luis helped me out from the jump before I even entered the place to talk with him, he was on point. I got my car, plate, and insurance within an hour working with him. Also they got good cars in this lot. Reasonable prices. Check it out.

I purchased my 2005 toyota sienna from john and sons auto sales about 2 weeks ago. I wanted to be able to drive the vehicle for a while before giving a review of the vehicle and my experience with the dealership. After 2 weeks of driving, I can say that I am very happy with it. Furthermore, my experience with John and sons auto sales was top notch. My wife and I was helped by Luis when we arrived. He was very cordial and answered my questions regarding the vehicle. Luis let us inspect the vehicle as long as we wanted and let us take it for a drive. I never felt rushed the whole time we were there. We drove 2 hours to purchase our sienna and would go back again.

I bought a 2002 p.t cruiser and i love it. Luis was awesome..

Shady and trying to sell vehicles as is that jave more problems then they say they have. Always test drive! ALWAYS! i was trying to buy a car and found one I liked, they said it ran fine but it a broken tail light, back hatch, bad steering, and the brakes were about done. They do have decent deals on these cars, they just need to be more upfront.

Review №48

The owner was very friendly and helpful. When I wanted to get the car checked out by a mechanic, he was willing to bring it over and pick it up for me. I needed to replace the front tires so he dropped the price for that. Ive had the car a little over a week now and its been running fine for me.

Review №51

All in all I had a great experience. The important thing to note about my experience is that I was given what is so far a great deal, and the sales rep wasnt pushy and he doesnt seem crooked. Their vehicle descriptions seem to be pretty thorough and honest as well. When I came to see the Escape I was looking at online, I was not disappointed. It was as described. So I absolutely do feel like I was treated fairly and I would recommend this business. Thanks again Devon.

Review №52

This has been my favorite dealership to work with. They are not pushy, rude, or arrogant. They have been very helpful, patient, straight forward, and professional. It is a very personable family-run business with lots of selection. The whole staff was very nice and helpful.With any car, make sure your mechanic checks it, as everyone has a different point of view.I was recommended by a friend and have purchased a car that I am very pleased with.Highly recommend checking out the cars online and going in and checking them out. You wont regret it.

Bought a Grand Caravan from them back in 2015. Heater Core went out on the way home getting coolant everywhere. Had to get it towed from from Grandville to Grand Haven . Mechanic then discovered there were no AC lines, no muffler, and timing belt was barely there. Resulted in repairs almost as much as what I bought the vehicle for. Avoid this place at all costs.

Review №66

I bought a car from there, they knew the transmission was broke and rebuilt at 60k and didnt tell me, the car lasted a couple thousand miles before the transmission needed to be replaced which would have cost more than the car, cant trust these guys. Also had a man with no certifications working in the garage. THUMBS DOWN!

Review №67

I had no idea this dealership existed until just recently. These are truly wonderful people who have the customers best intentions in mind. They are definitely not your average sleazebag car salesman trying to make a quick buck off of you. You can tell by the way that they respond to the negative reviews. We got a great deal on an already good deal that was already marked down. I have never felt obligated to write a review about a car dealership before. But I really have to let West Michigan know about these guys. All I can say is we will look to these guys for our next vehicle and so should you. :)

Review №68

Initial experience was great. Just looking for a reliable older vehicle to replace another reliable older vehicle. Unfortunately, we needed a vehicle relatively quickly and could not find time to schedule with our mechanic in a reasonable time before purchasing the vehicle. Within a week it was leaking differential fluid. No problem. Talked to our mechanic again about getting it in. Finally had it in for a thorough inspection (after purchase) and the mechanic said he wouldn’t touch it/wasn’t worth repairing because it had a cracked frame and we shouldn’t be driving our 2 year old around in it. Stunning. Called John & Sons and they pretty much reiterated their policy and gave us the name of a welder and said to try a repo sale. Wow. We would have happily negotiated something to still work with them but I guess they only stand behind their vehicles while they are on the lot. We’ve had better luck on Craig’s List. Really too bad.

Review №72

This place is great, they specialize in finding good cars under 8k.Ed, the 3rd generation owner found me halfway under a Yukon that I was interested in, checking for rust. We had a brief chat about the vehicle and I took it on a test drive. It was well worth the $6000 price tag, so I went to the bank on the way back to the car lot.When we got back Ed asked how I liked it and I told him Id like to buy. Hes the least pushy salesman on the planet and answered every question to the best of his knowledge.There are 1 or 2 bad reviews on here and Id take them with a grain of salt. This place is great and Ill be back when my son has enough money saved to buy a car.

Review №74

Great cars and very nice people! Ive been looking for a low-moderate mileage car in great condition thats reliable, safe (ABS, traction control and FWD at least), has minimum rust, good gas mileage, no check engine light or strange noises, a/c if possible and one thats good in the snow. Ive looked at countless cars in the $2000-$3000 price range for over a month driving as far as 30+ miles sometimes and it was long, difficult, annoying, and even expensive. I finally found a car that met ALL above requirements (even working a/c!) at John and Sons, and let me tell you, thats very hard to find! Im very happy with the car and service!

I purchased a 2007 Mazda3 from John & son last week. On the way home,about 120 miles north of there, the engine seized up. This was something that could not have been foreseen. I called to let them know what happened. They generously paid half the price of a new motor even though I turned down the optional insurance that was offered. They didnt have to do that. These are very honest and good people.

Bought a 2004 4door Chevrolet red Impala about 6 weeks ago. (Salesperson was Jose.)Barely made it home. Hadnt gotten it checked out cause I needed to save up money. Finally had it checked out. Needs a torque converter. It has snow tires on and Jose didnt mention it. Now I have to buy tires also, otherwise they could blow. Also needs tie rods; and engine is leaking oil. Also had to buy new battery cause battery was dead and Jose didnt mention that either. I would not recommend this place at all. I called and Jose said he could do nothing. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE.

I never write reviews for anything. But I have to for Jon and sons. Me and my wife bought a suv a month ago from this lot. And a month later the engine goes out for low compression. We got a oil change and a tune up when we bought it!!! We understand we bought it as is...but a month!!! And they refuse to even help with repairs???? Dont not buy from these people, they do not do inspection on their cars!!!

Review №88

Very Rude. Not to mention the lack of intelligence from the boss.- in response to you guys I was not mad about the price, it was the customer service I received after driving across the state to come look a your vehicle. And not to mention you guys couldn’t even give me a minute of your time to make me a counter offer in which I was willing to consider a higher price that was just my first offer. Overall I felt EXTREMELY disrespected.

Bought a rather old but very reasonable vehicle here back in July, 6 months later and we are still going strong with very minimal additional work. All the staff and sales people were great. I was in and out keys in hand and road legal in under 45mins. This is a small dealership with a limited selection but if youre looking for a reliable car on a dime and youre not into the Craigslist runaround, I would highly recommend it.

This is a group of approachable, friendly, and honest people. What set my experience apart from many others was that I felt like I was dealing with real people as opposed to salesmen.

A car I bought from them had some unforseen mechanical issues shortly after the purchase. I informed Jose of my situation. He relayed the information to Ed, the owner, and they reimbursed me a fair amount to cover the repair.(despite me having declined the warranty, and signing the as-is purchase agreement.)So even with the repair issue, I still feel like it was a good buy, and was pleased with how they handled everything. Wouldnt hesitate to buy from them again in the future.

I recently bought a 05 chevy equinox from here, everything was great with customer service, the guy I spoke with was kind and upfront on preexisting issues, or so I thought. I after my purchase i took the SUV to my mechanic to have the one issue that was disclosed fixed, I found out that there was lower engine issues that require the engine to be replaced. So now Im stuck with a block of metal. Do Not Buy from these people!
