Eric O'banionhad an amazing experience with Essence Autos! I just purchased my first car from Jose, and he truly is the best salesman. The customer service was outstanding-offering exceptional support, clear communication, and assistance throughout the entire process. Jose was incredibly kind and made everything easy to understand, ensuring a stress-free experience. The vehicle was exactly as described, with a clean title and a spotless Carfax report. There were no pushy sales tactics or hard sells, just genuine professionalism. To top it off, the entire process took less than 30 minutes-Jose handled everything like a true pro. I couldn't be happier with my experience!"Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
J MSo far so good. Jose and Komi did well to get some minor errors corrected before my purchase (interior light and door latches). Their mechanic did not have the parts in stock for the door latches, so I am going back this week to get them fixed. It's an old truck, 2024, but it was well taken care of and the few other issues are just because its an old truck. I am sure I will have some repair cost ahead of me, but so far so good. Em was very patient and helpful in getting the finances in order. Thanks Jose and team for being patient with me yesterday.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Antonio GonzalezGreat experience and explanation of any info. They were really kind and helpful. Edit review( almost 1 year later ): Don’t go to this place, the car was very overpriced and not taken care off, I have wasted over 2k in repairs. Horrible dealership and cars are not in a good condition.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
