Beware of "Best Value Guarantee". This company is one of 3 that I can find nationwide that are considered "Motortrend Certified" dealers. As a result, if you find a car that matches their best value guarantee, but you purchased a car that was "motortrend certified", you are ineligible to receive the best value guarantee unless it comes from one of said dealers, of which there are minimal. The sales team is even aware that this is a very shady system, and the sales manager stated to me: "Our lawyers have looked over this extensively." I have absolutely no doubt that their following the law when

I had a very pleasant experience. Sofia Jarrell was very informative, professional, and it didn’t hurt that it was a harmful process. Quickest car buying experience I’ve ever had. She’s top notch!!

This has been the worst car deal I have ever done. The used car had bad tires and had to argue to get the tires replaced. Finally was told have a 10 o'clock appointment the next morning. The service department had no idea and had no record of putting new tires on the car. Finally got that worked out - now 2 1/2 hours later still waiting for 4 tires to be put on. Service manager gave all kinds of excuses as to why the work takes so long. 4 tires takes over 2 1/2 hours.

This has been the worst experience and never never again.

Would not recommend Ricart or their service department

We’ve got two cars from Ricart and had a great experience both times! We had the pleasure of working with Ben Kirea! If you’re looking for a car, truck, or suv they have tons to choose from!

I have purchased 3 new cars from here and I was very happy with the service. I recently purchased a used car from them. So far I've been disappointed with after the sale service. I contacted the sales rep and asked for getting the factory code for the door locks. She never replied back to my email. I was told during the closing of the sale I would receive a copy of the title in 3 weeks. It's now been 4 weeks and I still don't have it. I called and inquired about it and was told it would be mailed today or tomorrow.

Sometimes you just go with your gut, listen to that inner voice and you just need to walk away. That is what I did on 10/9/21. I had interest in 2 Hyundai Tucson's. Only the one was pulled as I was told incorrectly that they were both available. I test drove the one Tucson and proceeded with talking finances and having credit pulled. I asked about warranty as was given two different answers, that was unsettling, that was my first clue. After going over what I could afford monthly that's when the hassling began. I was told how easy it would be to budget better, stop spending my money

Initially., I was impressed with the salesman. However, when my daughter and i returned from test driving the car she was interested in, he said "they" said the car was smoking immense amounts of smoke. As a result they couldn't offer the trade-in $amount quoted over the phone. The car was in good mechanical condition when we drove in and there was no smoke when we drove off. It sure looks like. SCAM to us I think they really thought she would be afraid to keep a car that was smoking. 5hey lied. If it smells like a skunk it's a Cheating skunk.

Got my car appraised for trade. Logan Gray appraised my 2011 Dodge Caravan Cargo. My van was low on mileage and Logan gave me credit for it where others didn't. Thank you very happy with my new Ford Bronco. J-

3rd time buying a car here and the service has gone downhill. I have left several messages over a 2 month period and have received no call back. I came to the dealership today to speak to someone in person and was told good luck. I have zero intentions on returning.

I will never go anywhere else to purchase a new vehicle. Our sales guy Jeff was awesome and everyone was super friendly. They made my buying experience so stress free. I didn't think I would ever be approved for a loan for the truck of my dreams, but they made it happen. I couldn't be happier. I tell everyone I know to go to Ricart now. They are the absolute best! ❤

If you are looking for a reliable car at an affordable price, you can't do better than Ricart. I have purchased 4 used cars from Ricart since 2012. (I bought one new car there as well). They have (I believe) the largest stock of used cars around. So you'll have a large variety to find exactly what you are looking for. They have prices to fit most budgets. Also they will offer an extended warranty if you'd like peace of mind.

As far as value all you need to do is compare their online price vs a similar car elsewhere and you'll see why Ricart is my only choice for a used car

If they try to sell you the extended bumper to bumper warranty, BEWARE!!!!! First of all it's a $100 deductible every issue you have which I had issues within days of purchase. Catalytic converter not covered at all, even though it is between the bumpers. Ricart should be renamed RIPOFF!

If I could give zero stars I would. I bought a 2017 Nissan Rogue in the middle of August. It was supposedly motor trend certified. It's now been in the shop four times (still in the shop) and has racked up well over $7,000 in repairs. I was informed today that it was in an accident (per Nissan). The salesman made it sound like it had cosmetic damage only. So far it's had two O2 sensor replaced, viscus coupler replaced, drive shaft and transfer case replaced and had to have repairs to the front caliper housing. I called the salesman to tell him I felt this car shouldn't have been

This place time & time again have has piss poor customer service!! My hubby ought my car there & hope that he doesn't take my car back there ever!!! The last straw was getting my oil change then wind up changing my brakes that was not the issue, what the issue was after ALL that they didn't even check my tires air pressure!! Seriously I've had enough of subpar mediocre services but yet they charge an arm & leg!!! I'd give no stars if that was an option!!!

I went there five years ago and my experience was not great. I walked in and the first thing they did was pull my info and tell me which car I can get instead of me telling them what I wanted so I left with a bad taste in my mouthh. Fast forward to yesterday and they changed their game for the best. I was greeted at the door by Greg which was wonderful and very helpful. I knew exactly the car I wanted and he helped me get it. I do like the extra warranty and perks I got with my purchase. Thank you so much for doing a 180 on my previous experience.

I went to Ricart to talk with Ben after communicating via email. I had been to 2 other dealers, had my credit pulled, my truck appraised, etc. So having the information, Ricart had the actual truck I wanted. Went to Ricart, talked to Ben, who completely assured me he would get my numbers where they need to be.........wrong! They low balled my truck by $2,500, then asked for money down, then changed the payment to $100 more than what we discussed. I would have never let them run my credit without knowing up front if we could deal. I had all the info from previous dealers. Emailed Rhett Ricart, no

Please consider other places to buy! IMO this is the worst place I've heard of/know of.

Went into buy a 2 year old car and at the end of the transaction was given no key FOB (which are costly to buy from Manufacturer), no mats (can get cheaply auto store ones or online get good ones from after market seller at over one hundred) or as I found out after having a flat, there was no spare tire under the vehicle as they should've been! When I told them the add for my car listed these items they said the fine print states actual items may vary!! Omg really? And this was Fred's son btw

Pros: Their prices are honestly pretty competitive. I'm not sure whether they offer the *best* prices in town (as they claim), but they're up there. We've found multiple cars we were interested in in their used car lot.

Cons: I'm disappointed that some salespeople lied to me even though I have a working knowledge of cars.

A few examples:

1. First salesman tells me they are trying to get rid of a car because it's been sitting on the lot for too long. When the sales manager comes, I repeat the same thing and asks for their floor plan. Manager says they don't have

Definitely felt like I was in a timeshare situation in Vegas with the old 10 different people need to come at you in different tones and variety of characters to pressure persuade you into buying a 10 year old car with 80,000 miles for $8,000 or a 3year old car with 90,000 miles for $11,000. Just wasn't feeling it for my son.

See my review below. I've reached out to Tim multiple times about where he said he would send me additional money and I've not gotten the money or heard back! They wanna make it look like they try to resolve the issue and then nothing comes of it.

I bought my first vehicle and current vehicle from this dealer. The have a diverse inventory and various price points...something for every budget. Imports, domestic, SUVs...they're dealing. The also have a full service department for your mechanical needs. They're slow to answer the phone and will probably shuffle u around a bit. I'd suggest looking online prior to visiting and calling.

Great location right of 33 and Hamilton Rd.

I'm not much on car shopping but our experience at Ricart with Candice and the whole Ricart team we dealt with was awesome. She gets to know you and does everything she can to find what you are looking for without breaking the bank. She genuinely cares about her customers and wants you to be happy with your purchase. We will go back to Ricart and Candice Donnelly anytime we need a car in the future.
Thank you!!

After reading a previous review of "they are not dealin, they're stealin" i 100% could not agree more.

After viewing a car online i was pretty interested in, i went into the dealership to check it out. However my father would be the ultimate decision maker and couldn't come see the car until a few days later. He is very good with cars and can tell if they have been wrecked, re painted, or had anything wrong with them.

The car was bought from auction up north by ricart. It was a previous rental or lease from out of the country. However, buyer beware CARFAX does not tell all
