Most honest mechanic I've met! He sold me a very reliable used car, and retrieved my car that broke down in Wisconsin. Very knowledgeable, helpful and won't upsell you on things you don't need.

Great used car that lasted me a LONG time. Super kind and fair on pricing. I wish I started my search here, it would have saved me so much time!

I highly recommend Reda Auto Port if you are looking for a used car.  We had a great experience working with Kenny.  His prices are fair and he is very pleasant to work with.  Before purchasing the car we were able to take it to a mechanic to have it checked out and there were no issues found.  The whole used car buying experience with him was very straightforward and hassle free.  The car has run great and we haven't had any issues since purchasing it 5 months ago.  I have recommended him to my friends as well.

I bought a used 09 Subaru Legacy with 106k miles from this dealership back in April 2019. And after the last 7 months with the car, here was my experience:

The only good thing about that place is that the staff are friendly, and easy going as far as letting you test drive the cars (The guy let me test drive it on my own).

But when it comes to the actual car, it has been a frustrating experience. There were plenty of things wrong with the car (like a bad battery days after purchase), but here are the 2 biggest problems I had.

1- I was sold the car with NO Engine Coolant. This could cause the car to overheat or the engine to blow, especially in the summer. I know that the car doesn't leak coolant, because once I filled it up, the coolant level remained the same for months.

2- I was sold the car with cracked tires, while the owner told me they were in good condition and there's no need to replace them.

The issue with the 2 problems above is that they are not just inconveniences, they are a direct safety hazard to the driver and passengers. Imagine driving on the highway in the summer and suddenly you are stranded because your engine overheats? Or worse, your engine blows up altogether while driving and possibly starting a fire?

Take this as a warning, do not buy from this dealership because they are negligent, and dishonest.

April 4th, 2024 Update:

It has been a couple years since this incident and I saw recently that the owner has responded to my original review above. So here is my update

First, I have revised the original review to include only the items that were seriously wrong to emphasize the reason for this negative review.

Here is why I was very upset, and if you put yourself in my shoes, you would be too.

1- The coolant issue: I was sold the car with No Engine Coolant. The issue here is negligence. Any mechanic would be able to see this problem just by taking a quick look under the hood and inspecting the fluid levels. The coolant itself is only $20, so it wouldn't have been an expensive or time consuming fix. I didn't know enough about cars to check for this myself back then, and it was spotted later by a friend when they were checking the car out. Had they not done that, I could have very well ended up with a blown engine or worse.

2- The cracked tires: I get it, tires are expensive. I am not upset I was sold a car with less than ideal tires. I was upset I was told that the tires were OK and that they were in good condition. Had the owner simply told me that I should change the tires sooner than later or before the winter (As this happened in April), this issue would have been resolved.

Hopefully things are clearer now.

UPDATE: Dec 2023
This is now my third time buying a car from Kenny and I would say I am a very satisfied customer! Kenny was easy to work with and willing to go above and beyond to make it a good experience buying a car there. When we are looking to buy another used vehicle, will definitely come back to Kenny! Thanks again Kenny!

Previous Review (2012/3):
Reda Auto Port is where I bought my car.  I found just the car I wanted at just the right price.  Though I had initial problems with the car (check engine popped on the second day I had the car), Kenny was VERY helpful in fixing everything without charging me anything above what I had already paid for the vehicle.  Kenny went above and beyond to help out and spent well over $500 in parts and labor to fix the problem associated with the Check Engine Light and make sure that I was happy with my purchase.  If you are looking for a good deal with a very helpful dealer, go to Reda Auto Port and see Kenny.

UPDATE: 2013 My wife and I bought a second used car this year from Kenny at Reda Auto Port.  We have received excellent service both times and both of our vehicles are running excellently.  Once again, I had an issue with the car that I was not sure about after I bought it and I brought it in and Kenny personally opened the hood and spent an hour fixing the minor glitch. Now I am VERY pleaseed. Great service! Thanks Kenny!!!
