Reviews of Auto King Motors (Car Concessionaire)

Ruth Cox

Let me just say, "this isn't my first time at the Rodeo" and I have bought 45 to 50 personal vehicles in my life (own 5 right now). Late July 2014 my wife told me that we were in the market for a reliable used car for her (happy wife... happy life). I spent 4 nights checking out ALL the used cars on ALL the dealers' lots in town (this is when pushy car salesmen are at home). I narrowed my "wish list" to 10 cars in the price range I wanted. Returning home late the last evening (prepared to buy one of these cars the next day), I stopped by Auto King Motors and wandered through his lot to see two great cars my wife would like, at very reasonable prices. The next day I returned to meet the owner/salesman Dean King. He impressed me as being down to earth and trustworthy so I decided to take out a beautiful Nissan Maxima (no accidents) that he had just maintained and safety inspected next door at Willow Point OK Tire (very reputable mechanics). Dean King's asking price was 20% below what any other dealer in town would have expected. The car was a great deal at his recently reduced price (I would have paid him the "original" asking price... the car looked and drove that nice). With the successful test drive/inspection over we retired to his office to talk. Sincerely, he asked "what would make you happy?". Respectfully, I placed an envelope full of cash (a fair offer) in the center of his desk saying "at this time the amount which I am offering (I specified) is my best offer and includes the tax". I anticipated one of two probable responses; one, he'd make a counter offer or two, he'd take my cash and shake my hand to seal the deal. Dean King, unlike any other car dealer I've known, gave me HIS option #3. He said "I know what I've got into this car, and you know how much I've paid to bring it up to safety standards (earlier he showed me the substantial maintenance bill), so here's what I'll do... I'll accept your cash offer, and I'll give you back $200". Yes, you heard me right; he had cash on the table... his for the taking (and I would have been VERY happy) and he didn't grab it, or ask for more, he gave me a "more that fair" deal! Don't expect what HE did, at any other dealerships anytime soon. Will I make Dean King my first stop for my next vehicle? Heck Yeah! I'd even be OK with my wife or daughter dealing with Dean "on their own". By the way, the Maxima still drives and runs like a dream one month and one summer vacation later. I know vehicles, and I would take Dean King's Maxima from Campbell River to Halifax and back (15,000 km) tomorrow without any fear of breakdowns. This car is the best vehicle for the price I have ever bought; add to that, Dean King is the best and most reputable car dealer (with great value cars) that I have ever dealt with... hands down!

Dean King is no stereotypical used car salesman. On the contrary, he is a straight shooter who backs his word and his vehicles. Dean cares about his customers. My wife and I would not hesitate to do business with Auto King Motors again. Yours Truly, Tim Miller.

Dean King is the king of used car salesman!! He went over and above what I expected when I needed to get a new vehicle. He taught me how to go about selling my current vehicle for top dollar and got me into a great truck for a very reasonable price! I have been very satisfied with the level of service and professionalism from Dean, go see him!!

Mark Cote

We needed a used car. Stopped by Auto King motors ..on our way to another lot. Met Dean King. Got along immediately. He showed us a vehicle that caught our eye. We had a test drive liked the car. Brief and friendly banter on price. We both won! Happy with vehicle. It needed a small repair, again, quick easy discussion, it was done. Good guy, no pressure. We highly recommend Dean if u are looking for a stress free fun buying experience.

Just talked to Mr King himself. Dean is a no bull kinda salesman. I have not bought a car yet so I will probably be back down there shortly.

i've had the opportunity to do business on 3 occasions with Dean from Auto King Motors ... his no-nonsense & honest approach is a breath of fresh air -- a level of customer service & straightforwardness that stands out & above what i've experienced with other car dealers ... on all 3 occasions Dean delivered what he promised and in each case, met or exceeded my expectations ... if you value honesty, integrity, & are looking for someone whose goal is to make your car buying experience enjoyable & stress-free, i'm confident Auto King Motors will make that happen for you and can't recommend them highly enough ... paris, courtenay, bc

I bought my car and am very happy with the excellent service and quality of follow up service . I've never been treated this good any where else . I'm retired and have had a lot of cars from different places , and have never recommended any of them .

S Bradley

ONLY car shopping place for a extra clean used car and if you're looking for a special car or SUV Dean King will find it for you and your budget.

Burk Quintrell

We just had the pleasure of buying our fourth car from Dean at Auto King Motors. The entire experience from finding us the right car to having it delivered was perfect. You can trust that the approach will be a breath of fresh air and stress free. Thank You Dean and the Auto King employees.

I went to Deans dealership with hesitation as I have been burned badly from used dealerships before. I discussed with him what I was looking for and the price range that I was in. He was honest with me and the 'no bull' motto was so true. I walked away with a very nice car and was very satisfied with my purchase. Then my nightmare began to come true as in the past with other dealerships. The car that I had purchased six months before began having mechanical issues. I went to him with full expectations of re-living my poor experience before. Dean went a head and did everything for me, looked for parts and labour and everything was priced lower than at any of the mechanics shops I went to. He went above and beyond what I was expecting. I have never left a dealership or car lot feeling so relieved and driving a reliable car once more. If you have ever been burned by a car lot or dealership don't worry about this one. I have never been so satisfied with a purchase. I drive by now and honk a couple times " Thanks Dean, your the man!"

Mark Hallam

This was my first time buying a car from Dean at Auto King Motors and I couldn't have been more pleased. Once I decided on the vehicle I wanted, the negotiation process was very straightforward, quick, and respectful. Everything that was agreed upon before and after sale was completed in a professional timely manner. The car buying experience to me should be easy and simple. Many thanks for making this happen Dean!

wayne king

l purchased a used car from Dean and felt he went out of his way to make sure l was happy. Months later l received a follow up call to see if l was still happy with the deal. l am.There has been no surprises with this car,and it,s nice to know l feel everything he told me was the truth. You can never know everything about a used car but they have been more then fair with me.l good place to get a good deal.

Angela Perez

Creg is the most sincere, honest and knowledgeable person to get a car from. Upfront. No sales pressure. We got a car in pristine conditions, inside and out. It's been a month since we bought it and as he said, it's been a great car that we are enjoying. Very happy customers we are and we highly recommend this dealership. We will come back because the trust he gained from us.

Ian martinovsky

Best experience of my life in sales today, i have been in sales my entire life over 25 years and you will never find a more genuine auto buying experience then from this dealership. World class serive honest no pressure straightforward sales with a care for clients is super refreshing. Dean King really cares about people and wants whats best for you and your family. Very rare super great experience in car sales!

Binary Girly

My daughter's first car buying experience - thanks to Dean standing by his word and his product it was a success! We highly recommend King Auto - Dean will take good care of you !

Carson Porter

I recently purchased a 2013 Volkswagen Passat from auto king motors. Big shout out to Sarah and Dean for the excellent service. When I purchased the vehicle, it was assumed that the vehicle needed a wheel alignment, but when it turned out to need new tires Dean covered the cost of a full set of tires. The car drove beautifully for 2-3 weeks until the CV axel blew, leaving the car in an inoperable condition. Dean took the car in with no hesitation and got it repaired quickly with no charge, when he could have just left me to deal with the warranty company instead. I can’t thank Dean enough for tremendous help and service with purchasing a vehicle. Highly recommend going to Auto King Motors for your next vehicle.

I bought my car from Dean 3 weeks ago and am extremely happy with it. The vehicle is in great condition and I paid a very reasonable price for it. Dean had done all the background checks on it so I knew it hadn't had any major accidents or bangs, and he'd also fixed the brakes that needed attention. He had priced the car realistically- the price tag was what induced me to stop in- taking away the usual pain of having to bargain for hours. In my experience Dean stuck by his motto of selling good cars at decent prices, and was straight up, honest and pleasant to deal with. I recommend buying a car from Auto King Motors.

Dean is a very pleasant and honest salesman. I was very happy with my purchase and would go back to Auto King in the future.

I just purchased my second vehicle from Dean. I am very happy with the no pressure service and I'll keep coming back to Auto King Motors. Dean is a great guy to deal with, everybody should have this experience when buying a car. Thanks Dean!

Anoop Mangalassery

Bought a car from here broke down with in the 1st week asked to take it back he turns me down .Wouldn't recommend this place even to enemies

Nancy Meyers

My experience at Auto King was very pleasant and relaxing. I didn't feel any pressure to buy. I have been to the car lot many times and can see that there is a very good inventory. I am sure that when I do decide to buy a car for my daughter that Auto King will be the pace I will go to buy.

m Klein

Mr. King is a good guy, happy to do business with him.

Perry Miller

Great place and the cleanest cars.

Rob Draeger

Dealt with Dean while looking for a work vehicle to get to Saskatchewan. Dean had an excellent selection of vehicles at great prices. He hooked me up with an awesome low Km 4x4 at a even better price! Would highly recommend visiting Dean if you want a great low pressure experience.

shari drinkwater

Dean King is tops in my opinion. When I found myself suddenly without a car, and being a senior on a fixed income, Dean found me the perfect car within 24 hours at a price I could afford. I've bought a lot of cars over the years, and never have I had such service. Thanks Dean. Shari Drinkwater

Dean is a nice guy. Tolerant of additional inspection. Fixed item (minor) that didn't pass. Thru in floor mats n/c. Would work with him again.
