Charles was extremely knowledgeable, patient and thorough from beginning to end. I was thrilled with how fast and easy the process was. Most impressed with original price and final price after tax tags and fees, didn't send me to the cleaners like most car dealerships. So happy with the way I was treated, customer service was above and beyond!

Thanks Charles, see you. George was so healpfull in picking out my dream car and walked me though the entire prosses so i didnt feel at all uncomfortable or stupid about my lack of knolage. Love the customer service at iDeal auto! Charles made sure to take care of any issues with the car I purchased before the sale was complete.

I highly recommend this dealership! I drove 2 hours to buy a car from this lot, and I was not disappointed! They even arranged to fix a broken tail light on it. I LOVED the old school touch of them sending me off with a full gas tank. Bill and James were wonderful!

Sold a lemon to a good family friend of mine. Buyers beware.
First bought the vehicle and broke down within 24 hours, took two weeks to fix. After obtaining the vehicle again from the dealer it was found there was extensive issues with transmission, dealer not willing to help. 14k is a big investment to still not have a usable vehicle.
I understand these are used cars but the dealer should make every effort to make things right. This was not the case.

This dealership is one of the best that I have ever dealt with. We found them on cargurus and they made the buying experience pleasurable. We had a pre-approval from our credit union but they were able to get us a full percent lower. Charles actually took the car out for his own test drive and felt that the car had a hesitation. So he had the fluids serviced. This fixed the issue. I had to fly in to pick up the car and Charles picked me up at the airport in the car which allowed me to test drive the car back to the dealership. I was in and out quickly, less than half an hour. They also overnighted

Wow!!! What a amazing truck buying experience! So lucky to have found these guys! If you need a great vehicle, great value, and a great experience with honest upfront professionals! Look no further! Request to see Charles and/or George, you will be blown away! Their finance guy is also on point and capable of doing better than my local bank! (Should of let him do it from the beginning, my personal bank was a waste of time!). This should be your first stop when looking for a great vehicle!!!

We had the pleasure of dealing with Mark at Ideal for a purchase of a 2014 Ram Laramie that my husband found on their website. We traveled over an hour to buy this truck and they did not disappoint! So friendly! Mark made the purchasing process so easy!!
James Brown in Financing was also very nice and accommodating! Thanks for making this one of the best car purchasing experiences we have ever had.
Also, all of their vehicles are top notch! Very nice quality!

**UPDATE:The owner called and is making every attempt to correct this.**
BOUGHT A DAMAGED CAR THAT I WAS TOLD WOULD BE REPAIRED AND "YOU WOULD NEVER KNOW IT WAS EVER IN AN ACCIDENT"
Not a very good experience at all. Edited this post in all fairness to give the dealer a chance to correct this problem. Car was attempted to be repaired and the results speak for itself; overspray everywhere, fisheyes in the paint, thin spots/fog in the paint, fender doesn't line up (instead of replacing hinge that is bent, they pushed the fender down to line up with the hood). Dirt and defects in pain, poor masking
