      This place is trash and the employees are too. The building looks decent but all of their cars are cheap and in poor condition,they do all they can to hide that fact. Clearing codes off dashes so a buyer wont see, spray painting over rust buckets so its difficult to see, motors blowing up days/weeks after purchases.. these are just a few examples of the shady dealings.I went in with my family today to look at purchasing a vehicle that looked clean. my father(who owns a transmission shop)tagged along to give it a thorough looking over.as we were looking under the hood(no one had come out to us)we were approached by a rude older gentleman that closed the hood on us and said someone is here to test drive this.we explained to him we had been out here for 20mins waiting for someone and he said you walked to this car, you couldve easily walked inside to find someone too that set the tone for us. that family did their drive and came back, said they didnt want it cause it shifted weird. when I took the keys he said are you gonna test drive it or just stand there? we close in 45 mins.on our test drive we found the torque converter was shuddering, which is very common with this vehicle.we also checked the transmission fluid and it was bright red, indicating they knew of the issue and tried to flood it with new fluid to prevent it from occurring. we came back and went inside to ask about having the vehicle for a night to put it on our rack and look it over. they said they dont allow that, I told them the issues and they said ok whatever you say. buy it as is or dont I explained my dad has a shop and they said sure, everyone buying a car is a mechanic we then said we would like to negotiate a cash offer noting the issues and they said again,yeah, sure. everyone has a cash offer too I asked to speak with a manager, and as I was walking over I hear the same employee say to a coworker just a bunch of f*****g a$holes about my family and I. DO NOT GO HERE!

      Back in August 18th 2023, had purchased a 2004 ***** Avalanche, was told it had an oil change, that was a lie, as a matter of fact the oil filter was barely on and was leaking oil. The emergency/parking brake is broken, the vehicle randomly shuts down, or goes into low power mode and becomes undrivable. This is extremely dangerous when driving down the road as the brakes and steering no longer function enough to safely get it off the road. The ECU codes were wiped as according to ******** and ****. They cleared all the check engine codes to make sure to get a sale. Had those codes been present I would not have purchased this vehicle, because this vehicle has some serious electrical issues. There is a mystery clunking noise coming from under the dash at the slightest bump in the road. I can understand selling something "as is" but there is limits to that law... This vehicle is a complete lemon, they knew this. Even the ****** report I was given was not accurate as even the millage was wrong. They purposely leave the vehicles empty on fuel so you cant give a propper test drive cause the moment you can every check engine code they cleared will pop back on and they cant have that. Do not buy anything from Doug's, your health and safety is in jeopardy buying vehicles from this place. I have already had a close call trying to drive this vehicle and running off the road because the engine shut down without warning leaving me with no brakes.
