A friend of mine knows the owners personally and recommended them to me. Ive always bought cars from the big dealerships thinking I would get better cars and service.....boy, was I wrong! These people are fantastic. They went the extra mile to make sure everything went perfectly and when I came to pickup the car I bought it literally took 15 minutes or so. Ive spent up to 7 hours at other dealerships waiting for them to get all the paperwork ready for a car I bought.
We bought a car a couple years ago from one of the places down the street and got taken when they jacked the price of the car up without us catching it on the paperwork. Used Car Factory was a much different experience. The sales guy was wonderful, very informative and helpful and explained every bit of the paperwork as we went through it. Dont buy a car anywhere else.
Greg was fantastic at answering all of our questions and helped us every step of the way. He is thorough, yet concise, and very friendly. They even bought me lunch while I waited as they knew I had to go straight to work afterwards.
It was a really great experience from the get-go. Very friendly and kind all the way around, without being pushy like so many other dealerships. God Bless!
The guys at Used Car Factory went above and beyond to help me understand the car-buying and financing process. My mom works for a local bank and did not think they could get me financed. Not only did they get me financed, but I got a good rate and my payment was lower than I expected.
My husband and I stopped in here to look for a car for a relative and we ended up leaving with two cars…one for the relative and one for us! They are great people that truly care and take the time to go over all the details. You never know what to expect when going into a dealership, but these guys were excellent.
Greg is the absolute best. He made sure I was taken care of every step of the way and explained the process better than any other car dealer Ive dealt with in 52 years of driving. He made sure I found exactly what I was looking for, arranged financing through a local credit union at a much lower rate than I was quoted, and even put new tires on the vehicle before I drove away. I will be back the next time I need a vehicle.
They treated me like family. I highly recommend asking for Greg as he will do everything he can to make sure you get into a car you love. Really appreciate the service I received.
My husband loves his new truck. Ill be looking for a new summer ride soon and will be back to see these guys. Very helpful and informative.
They are great to work with - super honest and friendly. Its very apparent they love their jobs and it shows!
My wife and I purchased a beautiful new truck from this place and cannot recommend them highly enough. Everything about the experience was exceptional and they were able to get us financed even though we were turned down at another dealership. The process was quick and efficient - - the last time we purchased from on of the ‘big dealerships’ we were there for almost 5 hours. Greg finished the whole process from start to finish in 30 minutes or so. The same day we bought our truck another couple was there buying their 8th car from this place - - that says a lot about the fantastic service they received over the years of doing business there. We will definitely be back!
Greg is a wonderful person and a pleasure to work with. I took my daughter to buy a Subaru from Greg and 5 months later brought my son back to purchase an Audi and while there found a Mini Cooper that I couldnt leave without! We have been treated fairly during every visit whether it be the pricing posted on the vehicles or the warranty plans offered to the short amount of time taken to process the transaction. I give this place 10 stars and will recommend it to all my family and friends when looking for another vehicle. The finest characteristics about Greg are his honesty and integrity and it shows in how he treats his customers.
Very pleased with my experience at USed Car Factory. Came in with an old Tahoe and left wtih a mint-condition Land Rover! Greg worked hard to get me financed with nothing down!
Used Car Factory is the best place to buy a vehicle in Traverse City. The owners are great to work with and believe in putting customers first. If they don’t have the vehicle you are looking for, they will find it and special order it. Whether you are looking for a car, truck or SUV, stop by and check out their awesome selection and even better service. Highly recommend!
Very nice people to work with. Cant recommend them highly enough - far better than the other used car dealers weve been to in Traverse City.
I love my new Lexus! One of my kids is on the hunt for a Subaru and well be be bringing him by here later this week.
Why can I give them 10 stars? Simply the best!
The people at Used Car Factory are simply the best. They go way above and beyond to help their customers and genuinely want to help you find the best options. There is ZERO sales pressure, its very laid back and they make the financing process very simple and easy to understand. Great job - I highly recommend!
These guys are fantastic. First-time buyer but I will definitely be back!
My wife and I have bought several cars here over the years and they never disappoint. We only had 1 minor issue come up with one of the vehicles and they took care of the problem right away. Its the first place we look for used cars in Traverse City.
There’s nothing like buying from and supporting a locally/family-owned business like Used Car Factory. They make the buying process enjoyable and efficient. Even meet their customers after normal hours to complete the sale. Try getting that type of service from on of the franchise dealerships.
Cleanest inventory and best service in town - - way better than dealing with the big dealerships.
As someone who has bought a lot of cars over the years, I simply could not be more impressed with the service I received at Used Car Factory. I initially was not sure what to expect from a smaller dealership as I have always went to big ones but this experience reminded me why it is so important to support local small businesses. From start to finish the process was actually enjoyable instead of nerve-wracking. Well worth the almost 2 hour drive for me to get there.
Wonderful place to buy a vehicle! Great selection of cars at great prices! Fantastic customer service!
Had a great experience! Greg was very patient and had great customer service. I highly recommend buying your car here!
We have been around to all of the dealerships around town and this place stands above the rest. They are not the biggest lot in town but their cars are cleaner and better maintained than any of the other lots we looked at. We eneded up buying a like-new Toyota Tundra and couldnt be happier with it.
Greg was very welcoming and helpful. I drove through another dealership down the road and they were like vultures, to put it mildly.
Make sure you have someone look over the car personally and do your car fax. Bought a car from them in September almost left us stranded a couple weeks later in the middle of the Upper Peninsula. Had to drive slowly back to Traverse with about 1400 dollars worth of repairs to come. Valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, pvc valves, brakes all around. Also two oil changes on the way back home from the massive oil leak coming from the valve cover gaskets. I lost about 2 quarts in 225 miles nothing on the dipstick. Was puffing out white smoke when you were at 50% throttle so we couldn’t go over that accelerating. Not sure what kind of damage is done to the engine. Posting this now because I lost my job and can’t afford it anymore and no one seems to want to buy it with so many fender benders on car fax. Just make sure you do your research
Great place. Great inventory
Will be back when my daughter needs a car this fall.
Drove up from Cadillac to look at a BMW they had on the lot. It literally was being sold as I arrived, but they found me another one and even delivered it to mmy house when it arrived.
Nice cars and good service
My father bought a truck from used car factory. They didn’t have what he wanted on the lot so they found exactly what he wanted at auction within 10 days and had it ready to go at a very reasonable price. Great communication the whole way through the process. 50k miles later and the only thing it’s needed was normal maintenance(oil change, etc) great people to work with.
Purchased a Toyota Sequoia SR5 from them over 2 years ago. Car had 170 k miles on it. Now its approaching 230 k miles and runs amazing. All Ive done is brakes a few times on the ride. Drove to Tennessee and back a few times never had one issue with my ride. Definitely recommend them for anyone looking to get financed into a nice reliable ride.
Used Car Factory is locally and family-owned used car dealership specializing in high quality yet affordable import and domestic cars, trucks and SUVs. They provide exceptional service and are committed to doing business with honesty and integrity. Youll enjoy the no-hassle buying experience and friendly service.
Doing a car deal with Lyle, Brandon and Becky was the easiest car buying experience I’ve ever encountered. Every car I looked at was immaculate. Extremely professional, personable and helpful. Stop here before you go anywhere else.
Cool people
Purchased 2 vehicles from here, Lexus & a Porsche Cayenne. I had no problems within the 4 years of owning them. Great service from the moment I walked in. Highly recommend
I bought a car from Lyle (the owner) back in August and I also purchased the warranty he offered. I was told everything was covered 100% and they also covered rental cars as well. I go to make a claim on my warranty and am told I am responsible for tax, $100 deductible and I can be reimbursed for a rental if my car takes more than two business days to be fixed, none of this was discussed at the sale. This dealer is dishonest and will tell you anything to make the sale. I HIGHLY suggest going somewhere else to buy a used vehicle!
I purchased a Ford Escape about 12 months ago and couldnt be happier! The paperwork was fast and easy, and everything was up front, nothing hidden like the big dealers do. If you want a great experience and a great dependable auto, go see the great people at this dealership.
Willing to go that extra mile to help people
Great communication and loved the service! Quick and easy transaction. Wish all dealerships were this smooth! Excited to be driving this beauty
Bought an amazing Ford Explorer and have never had any problems. Great people and good communication help with finding a great car at a good price.
(Updated)I DO NOT SUGGEST BUYING FROM USED CAR FACTORY.I am 18 years old and I bought my first car from the salesman. I brought all of my high school savings with me and bought a 2005 Land Rover LR3 in August. The salesman swore up and down that Land Rovers are awesome and it would be a perfect car for me. They told me there were no problems and that it runs great! I thought it was a sweet deal. As soon as I drove it off the lot my check engine light came on. I took the car back and was told that it was just an emissions problem. Not even four months later my car is UNDRIVEABLE. I came to find that my Land Rover was used as a parts car by the Used Car Factory. My check engine light was really on because my transmission fluid was leaking into my oil. I took my car to a trusted mechanic that Used Car Factory recommended. The mechanic told me that he saw my car prior to my purchase, and told The Used Car Factory that it WAS UNSAFE TO SELL OR DRIVE!! Very few of my VIN numbers actually match and now I’m left with $7K+ in damages that were not disclosed to me! The damages are major as well, ranging from engine problems to my transmission leaking, my wheel bearings are about to go, faulty tie rods, major suspension issues. I was told that one of the only things that isn’t wrong with my car is there is 80% life in my front brakes. There is no way I caused $7,000 of damages in 4 months! My car is now sitting in my driveway and undriveable. Now I’m left with many questions. Did they take advantage of my lack of knowledge about cars? Were they were more interested in the money? Shouldn’t the top priority be putting a young driver in a safe and reliable vehicle?
Gave us a price added 3000 dollars to the price when we arrived then because we didnt buy it they ran 17 hard inquiries on my girlfriends credit dropping her almost 50 points on her good credit score of 690, down too 643.
Always a pleasure! We have purchased several cars from TC Used Car Factory & have had great cars & service!
Great experience purchasing a car. Very friendly.
Great cars, excellent customer service! Will definitely purchase from them again!
Sold me a lemon car. Rusted out oil pan and transmission pan. When I came to pick the car up the windshield was broken and he had me pay for half. Had a brake failure, putting me in heavy danger. Lyle refuses to take any fault for any of it and was extremely rude as a result. DO NOT BUY FROM HERE! SOLD ME A CAR WITH BAD BRAKES AND WILL NOT OWN UP!
Only reliable trustworthy dealer in Northern MI. Husband and I have purchased our vehicles there for years.
Dont believe anything in the description of the vehicle!! Took work off to drive up and buy a vehicle that they said was in excellent condition. After arriving, the vehicle had a major cracked moon roof, was filthy dirty, major dents and huge scratches through out the entire vehicle.They said in the description no noticeable dents or scratches, and that the vehicle was in excellent condition, they also said it was a non smoker who owned it before, it was all lies!
Wonderful people would buy my next car from them
Went to get my bmw and the wipers went out before I left the driveway,the module failed on the wiper motor and they took care of it and were very nice on getting it taken care of so quickly.
I got a great deal on a reliable car.
Great prices and amazing cars.
I bought a car from them and the transmission went out a month later and they did nothing about it very poor business would never buy anything from them again worst experience ever
Nobody there
BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!
