Great experience! I drove 3 hours to look at vehicle and Chris handled everything great! I knew the vehicle had a lot of interest and Chris was gracious enough to hold it until I could make it there. I did purchase the vehicle and was thoroughly pleased with how the transaction went. I also looked over several of their other vehicles and I must say, they are very particular about the vehicles they put on the lot. All in great or excellent condition. Would definitely buy from them again in the future

My daughter recently purchased a vehicle here and her negative experience resulted in an avoidable safety issue. We test drove the vehicle and I told them I had concerns about the brakes. They did not want me to take the vehicle to Etowah to be checked and claimed the vehicle could not leave Athens. They assured me the vehicle had been inspected and everything on the vehicle with less than 50% use had been replaced and that is how the vehicle qualified for the 6 month/6,000 miles warranty they purchased for it. I continued to express concern over the brakes, and they were so confident the brakes were good that if there were any problems for 30 days, then they would take care of the repair or replacement. They continued to stress that the vehicle was, after all, covered under warranty.nI took the vehicle to a trusted mechanic I have used for 10+ years. He said the brakes, pads, and rotors (front and back) needed to be replaced. The front and rear rotors had been glazed and the front brakes had very little use left in them. I took the estimate to McMinn Motors. He said he would not pay for any repairs, questioned the judgement of the mechanic, and accused him of overpricing the work. He said he would examine the car and if HE determined that work was needed then he would do the work since he is a “certified mechanic.” He did not disclose any of this information when he was making his false promises to take care of any brake issues and the warranty was worthless too.nI refused to allow him to work on the vehicle. He lied about the condition of the brakes and he misrepresented how he planned to fix them. There was absolutely no way I would trust him to fix a brake problem he had lied about. How could I even trust that he would fix them correctly, or at all, at this point? If he is a “certified mechanic”, as he claims, then he would have known about the brake condition and that makes his sales pitch even more deceitful.nI share this experience with you to warn you not to trust what these men tell you about the condition of a vehicle. For my daughter, this was a safety issue. If we had trusted what they said about the condition of the brakes, she could have been in an accident and injured herself or others. Thankfully, I had the vehicle checked and had all the necessary repairs done by the person I do trust. I would encourage anyone that has bought a vehicle from them to go and have their brakes inspected for safety.nThere is always a risk when buying a used vehicle and the buyer must accept a certain level of risk. If he had told me the condition of the brakes was unknown and I still bought the vehicle, then that would have been a risk I accepted. Instead, he chose to be deceptive and misleading and for this I will never do business with them again. I hope you will consider shopping elsewhere, too.nAs a side note, we traded her vehicle with them. He went over a long list of items wrong with the vehicle and stressed that it had those faults because it was so cheaply made. I doubt he disclosed any of that to the new buyer since he advertised it as a “beauty.” This is just another example of his deceitfulness. SHOP ELSEWHERE!

Listed a vehicle with pristine paint when it has been completely repainted poorly over previous scratches and dents. Listed a vehicle with pristine smoke free interior when the interior has seats with snags, a water damaged headliner complete with cigarette burns. Listing a vehicle with great tread when the vehicle has 3 different brands of tires on it. Hiding a truck bed ravaged with dents with a new bed liner. lies upon lies. Drove from Akron Ohio to this dealer with cashiers check in hand based on description of vehicle. Vehicle was nothing like description.

Great experience with McMinn Motors! They were friendly, knowledgeable and made our purchasing experience very easy!

Honest people I think
