Pretty good and efficient and good with such a small staff. Knew what they were talking about per vehicle when it came to its capabilities,past owner, and was able to upkeep the integrity of the vehicle within their ownership. Along with being respectful gave me a good rate and a reasonable price for my trade in and were much more down to earth with their prices compared to most higher end or bigger dealerships. The Yaman guy help me get out very quick and the financial advisor gave no bs and went straight to the point with how my rates and pay was gonna be overall great would recommend for any starter cars here to build upon or if you’re looking for a reasonably priced care for your first vehicle.

Edit: So after about four months of having it had no real problems most if not all liquids were changed or flushed. The one problem I did have was some sensors and a belt nothing I couldn’t change so I still stand by my review

The team at Venture Auto was kind and willing to address any questions and concerns we had about the car. This auto dealer is a family owned business, and you can tell the team works hard for their business. Give these guys a chance, and tour their lot. They have a lot of quality vehicles.

Some of these 5 star reviews are from employees of this dealership. As others have said the cars come with issues as with any used car, mine was no exception. The brakes were worn down and grinding metal to metal contact, it also appeared that someone had broken into the car previously as there are scrapings on top of driver's door and seal damaged, this results in water getting in during rain and carwashes and also loud whistling noise when driving. My low rating however is not for that since I expect used cars to have issues.
My problem is this dealership's dishonesty and shady practices. They claim to be open and honest which they are not.
They promised to fix my broken windshield which they did not, I made numerous phone calls and was given a run around. Don't expect them to fix anything they promise you.
When applying for the car loan, I did it at home, was preapproved with one bank, all that was left was to finalize at dealership; yet these people processed my application as if I was applying with them, resulting in multiple, unnecessary hard inquiries on my credit report from different lenders.
I did NOT ask them to add an extended warranty but they without even asking me enrolled me for a $2,000 contract with A.U.L/Protective Asset Protection. I told them the car will be used for rideshare and food delivery and knowing full well that Protective AP does NOT cover commercial use vehicles, still went ahead and enrolled me which is fraud because the warranty would not be honored even in the event of a covered failure.
If you are planning to buy their extended warranty, you should know that Protective AP has numerous complains on BBB and a poor rating for refusing to pay claims and failure to refund money. I cancelled over a month ago and I am yet to see one penny back.
If you buy a car here with hidden issues and hope the warranty will help you, you will be disappointed, they do not honor pre-existing conditions. Also if they determine that part failure was caused by negligence, they will deny your claim (even if it was the previous owner who was negligent by not keeping up with oil changes).
If you are financing a car here, read everything you sign because what they tell you does not match what you are signing and don't expect them to honor any word they give you by mouth.
Lastly, the temporary tags they gave me expired long before they sent me the actual plates. It took them over a month to ship them, I had to go to a licensing office and pay $80 for replacement plates.

Bought a used car about a month ago. So far so good, vehicle runs well and the detailing to the interior was a nice touch before purchase. Manager was fair and open to negotiating price and other details. Was even able to have the car shipped which saved a lot of time/effort on my end. Overall a good experience.

I purchased a 2015 Kia Optima from Venture Auto Sales on September 13, 2025. Within minutes of driving it home, the low-oil-pressure light came on. I documented this on video with timestamps.

I later contacted the prior owner of the car, a US Service member who confirmed that this issue existed before the vehicle was traded in.

Venture Auto did not reply to my requests, until I sent them a certified letter. I tried for several weeks to resolve the situation directly with Omar at Venture Auto. During that time:

They refused to take the car back.

They required that I pay out of pocket to tow the vehicle to their preferred shop, even though that shop was the same one that had already inspected the car before they sold it.

They mentioned restocking fees and other charges as conditions. And tried to force me to comply with his “system” to deal with their issue.

They declined to provide copies of their inspection reports outside of court.

At no point did Venture Auto offer a straightforward path to rescind the sale, even though the defect appeared within minutes of purchase.

In my experience, there was no meaningful good-faith effort to resolve a defect that surfaced immediately and had been verified by the prior owner.

I encourage anyone buying a used car from any dealership to be extremely cautious when a dealer says “come back tomorrow,” or to once again test drive it immediately prior to completing the purchase paperwork.

I am sharing this to help others make an informed decision.  This is now going to court and the Department of Licensing and the State Attorney General.

Omar,

Thank you for taking the time to reply. I want to clarify the facts so that future customers have an accurate understanding, and so that you and I can hopefully still resolve this in a way that reflects well on Venture Auto:

1. The oil-pressure failure appeared within minutes of purchase, was recorded on video, and matched what the prior owner told me he had experienced before trading it in.
This shows the issue existed before the sale—not something caused after I bought it.

2. I reported the problem immediately, but I did not receive any response until after the dealership received my certified letter.

3. Venture Auto asked me to tow the car at my own cost to the same shop that inspected and passed it before sale, but there were no written terms or assurances of what would happen once the car arrived.
That left me exposed to further engine damage with no clear outcome.

4. I never refused cooperation.
I only refused to risk damage—or pay for a tow—without written terms, which is standard when a defect appears immediately after sale.

5. I requested copies of the two inspections Venture Auto said were performed (auction + shop).
Those have not been provided, even though they would help clarify what happened.

6. The issue surfaced before I could have reasonably driven long enough to cause any damage.
I left the lot, drove a few minutes, and the oil light came on.

7. Declining an optional warranty does not waive a dealer’s responsibility regarding undisclosed pre-existing defects.

I test-drove the car the day before, and the condition at signing was not the same. The oil-pressure light came on immediately after leaving the lot, and I documented this on video.

I did reach out right away, but only received communication when the certified letter arrived.
This could have been resolved quickly with a little more engagement earlier on.

I’ve since purchased a second vehicle so that I can go about my life normally.
That car is in good working order.

Omar, I still believe this can be resolved in a professional way.
If Venture Auto is willing to offer a written rescission that clearly outlines what will happen with the vehicle and refund, I’m open to closing this out smoothly and privately.

That door is still open.

My goal here is not to damage your business—only to share accurate information and resolve a situation that began the moment the car left the lot.

Thank you
