Back in October 2025, I purchased a Ford Transit High Roof Extended van from this dealership with the dream of converting it into a camper van, and I specifically waited several months before writing a review because I wanted to give an honest long-term opinion after actually living with the vehicle and building it out. Now that it’s May and I’ve had plenty of time with the van, I can confidently say I’m very happy with both the van and the experience I had with this dealership. From the very beginning, the buying process was smooth, fast, and stress-free. I was able to trade in my car without any issues, and the whole process felt straightforward and transparent. Before the purchase, I had a pre-inspection done, and some transmission-related concerns were discovered, including old transmission fluid. Instead of brushing it off, the dealership stepped up immediately and agreed to take care of the issue before the sale, along with a few other minor things. That gave me a lot of confidence that they genuinely cared about selling a reliable vehicle and standing behind what they sell. A huge thank you to Slava, who was absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. He had great communication, was patient, caring, honest, and genuinely wanted to help me get the best deal possible. It never felt pushy or transactional, which honestly made a huge difference because buying a van for a camper conversion is a big investment and a pretty emotional purchase too. Over the last several months, I’ve been slowly building the van into my dream camper, and the van itself has been very reliable. I recently finally got to take it out on a little camper trip, and it honestly felt surreal seeing the project come to life. The van has been running strong and has given me no major issues. One thing I noticed during the build process was that there were some factory holes/seals that were allowing water to leak into the van. I contacted the dealership about it, and once again they handled it professionally. They let me bring the van back in and sealed all the areas I pointed out completely free of charge. That kind of customer service after the sale is rare and really meant a lot to me. Overall, I’m genuinely a very happy customer and I absolutely recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a vehicle, especially if you want people who actually care about their customers even after the paperwork is signed. Thank you again to Slava and the whole team for helping make this dream possible. I can’t wait to finish my camper van and take it traveling everywhere.
If you are a contractor or tradesman looking for a reliable work vehicle, stay as far away from this lot and their salesman, Slava, as humanly possible. They are running textbook scams, outright lying about vehicle conditions, and actively trying to hide severe structural and mechanical failures. Slava knew damn well that I was driving over an hour each way from Auburn to Lynnwood, and he still chose to shamelessly waste my time and gas across two separate trips. Trip 1 (Wednesday): > Slava explicitly assured me before I made the hour-long drive out that all the utility lockboxes were fully functional and had a working key to lock up my tools. I got there only to find out it was a complete lie—the boxes were stuck wide open and wouldn't lock, and the key provided was entirely non-functional. Trip 2 (Today): > Unbelievably, it got worse. Knowing I needed a true cold-start inspection this time, I explicitly asked him via text not to touch the vehicle. He gave me his word that it hadn’t been started since the night before. I arrived around 1:00 PM, and the reality was shameless: The Pre-Warmed Engine Lie: The second I arrived, the radiator hose was warm to the touch and heat was actively radiating off the engine block. Caught red-handed, Slava tried to claim it hadn't been run since 8:00 AM. Anyone with a basic understanding of physics knows an engine doesn't still have heat radiating off the motor after sitting for 5 hours in the open air. He intentionally ran it earlier to mask severe startup issues or mechanical defects. Covered-Up Structural Failures: They are actively trying to hide severe rot. I found structural rust that they had literally just spray-painted over—no sanding, no grinding, no prep work whatsoever. Just a cheap can of paint slapped over failing metal. Interior Leaks & Floor Holes: There is a literal hole torn straight through the driver's side floor vinyl. Worse, mystery fluids are actively leaking into the cab, leaving the fabric lining completely saturated like a filthy sponge under the floor mat. My hands were covered in oily residue just from checking it. The second you start doing a real, systematic inspection and calling out these blatant red flags, Slava shifts into a high-pressure, fast-talking deflection routine to push for a quick close. Slava is an absolute fraud of a salesman running an amateur-hour operation. They are putting band-aids and cheap spray paint on dangerous, rotted-out mechanical nightmares and lying about it to your face. Save your time, save your money, and go to a reputable dealer.
I purchased a cargo van for my business from this place and had a great experience. Slava assisted me throughout the entire process, and everything was handled very professionally. He clearly explained how their vehicles go through both technical inspections and document checks, so there were no surprises at all. Everything was transparent, honest, and straightforward — no hidden issues or fine print. Slava prepared all the paperwork and double-checked that everything was in perfect order. The entire process was smooth and stress-free. If you’re looking for a vehicle for your business, this is the best place to go. Slava truly helps you choose the right vehicle based on your needs, not just what’s available on the lot. Highly recommend.
