All I can say is wow. These guys are professionals at not being truthful. Buyers beware. Oh and the warranty they push you to buy doesn’t work at all either. Save yourself a headache and drive to the next dealer
We unexpectedly needed to buy a vehicle. We had what I like to call a champagne taste on a beer budget. I went in and spoke with Dave thinking I wanted the Acadia or Traverse he had on the lot. He got an idea of what we wanted/needed for our family and pointed us to a couple vehicles that would be even more ideal. Those didnt work out for us but he kept my information and within a week contacted me to inform me of a Honda Pilot he had coming in. We worked with Ken as he was working that day. He was just as honest as his brother. They were upfront, no BS type of people. I didnt feel pressured and I felt like they were fair with their pricing. I even used their credit union for financing. It was a super quick and easy process and the rate was great!The market isnt great for used SUVs lately but I feel like I got a decent deal for what I wanted. Ill update my review after Ive had my vehicle for a while but Im under the impression that they dont sell junk! And if there are issues they disclose them. Ill likely bring my vehicle back to them to get detailed in the future and will definitely do business with them again.
My daughter purchased her first vehicle with Diamond Auto today and the experience was very pleasant. Ken was great to work with, the SUV that she bought was in excellent condition and the financing was a breeze!Thank you for making this a great experience for us. We will definitely refer our friends and family to Diamond Auto!
Friendly salesperson, but both vehicles I took for a test drive had issues. Both vehicles had cracked windshields in the lower right corner and the person was going to sell us either vehicle with the cracked windshields. The crack on the Honda Pilot was the size of my fist. The Buick Enclave had spongee brakes and made clunking noises as I pulled out of the lot. If you want a vehicle that you dont have to take to get repaired right after buying it, dont bother coming here.
We visited Diamond Auto Sales of Ramsey on 10/31/20 and met with Ken who seemed like a knowledgeable and friendly salesman unfortunately we later learned that wasn’t the case. We were there to help our 16 yr old son purchase his first vehicle using money he had been saving for college but now needed for a vehicle so he could get to work. The vehicle he was interested in was 2006 Explorer with very high miles for $3997. We were concerned about the high miles but there wasn’t much in his price range with lower miles and the overall condition of the vehicle and “great” maintenance report that Ken told us made us feel the miles wouldn’t be an issue. This vehicle wasn’t in our son’s price range of $3000 but with the trade in it was closer to what he had although he wasn’t looking to empty his whole college savings. Ken assured us this vehicle would be a great vehicle for him; 1 older male owner and a CarFax Report that he said showed maintenance every 3k miles; however Ken failed to tell us and didn’t get the CarFax hardcopy until after we purchased to notice the vehicle hadn’t had a maintenance service in over 7k miles which is probably why we experienced the issues the day after it left the lot. We traded in a vehicle that had its share of issues and we did disclose those issues (exhaust, fuel pump, stalling), which was why Ken said he could only give us $400 because it would be junked. The next day, we noticed it was leaking antifreeze and oil in our driveway, so we took it into our mechanic where he found a cracked thermostat water housing assembly, loose water hose, rear axle issues, the rear main seal was leaking, and the exhaust manifold had broken bolts which at some point would need to be repaired which is another costly repair. Our estimate to repair just the thermostat housing, rear main seal and rear axles would be $1600. Even though this vehicle was purchased “as is” we reached out to Ken to see if there was anything he would be willing to do. We quickly learned that would not happen nor would he even apologize for what he sold our son. Ken only offered us that if we paid $3100 in repairs on the trade-in vehicle (the vehicle he was going to junk), then he would look into seeing what he could do for us on the vehicle he sold us. We declined his swap of repairs and paid $1000 to fix just 2 of the immediate issues; however 58 days later we were hit with another expense. The timing chain and tensioner broke and we were looking at another $3000 in repairs. At this point the vehicle isn’t worth putting any more money into it since we are already out $4700 in less than 60 days. We called Ken again and he only offered for us to talk to Dave the owner, whom we have since learned is his bother. Dave was just as rude and kept sticking to his “As Is” sale. How about you actually have your vehicles inspected before you sell them, then you can stand behind your “As Is” contract. Dave’s only solution was to use his mechanic which he stated could possibly get the repairs down to $2000 pending an actual view of the vehicle, but we would need to have the vehicle towed there for a quote and if not fixed by him then another tow charge to bring it back home, so in the end there would be no savings. At this point we are just hoping to sell this to a mechanic for parts to recoup some money. This was a hard lesson for our son to learn and even more devastating for us that we fell for the deception and now he is out all his savings and doesn’t have any money to fix the vehicle We will never recommend this dealership to anymore as we hope no one ever has to experience what we have. 2020 was a horrible year and this was really the icing on the cake. STAY AWAY!!
Our family has bought 3 cars from here, and I just financed my first car with Dave. He made the process very quick and easy. Always great quality cars for very nice prices!
Dave was awesome to work with. They waited two weeks for my tax return to come back when Im sure other people would have bought the car.They got me approved for financing even though (after Discover card) I have terrible credit now. The car drives perfect and we found no drama with it. These guys are great in my book, they got me and my wife our dream car.
I was embarrassed when I dropped off my car to be detailed because of how dirty it was. 2 kids and a lot of neglect will really show over time. I expected the car to look better when I picked it up but I was absolutely blown away by what I saw. They were able to get all of the stains out (light interior shows everything 😳) and they cleaned every inch of the car. Goey stuff in the cup holders? Gone. Dirt stains from dirty hands? Gone. Salt rings built up on the carpet? Gone. I don’t think it looked this good when I bought it brand new. 10/10 in my book!! I highly recommend Dave at Diamond Auto!!
Nice guy just wasnt the vehicle we were looking for.
Bought a Honda CRV here 6 months ago, still in love with my vehicle and no major issues outside of minor upkeep. Great experience!
Diamond Auto detailed my car inside and out yesterday and I am very happy with the results. They did the job in a timely manner, at a fair price, they were very polite, and the car looks as good as the day I bought it. I would highly recommend Diamond Auto for your car detailing needs.
Awesome experience, in and out in 45 minutes. Very nice and clean car! Also, the warranty offer is one of a kind!
I have brought my car to Diamond for detailing for several years. I wont go anywhere else because Dave and his guys are the best. Ive never been disappointed. Precise, personal service. The BEST.
I bought a Hyundai Tucson back in July of 2018. Dave was great to work with! Wasnt pushy at all. Knowledgeable and helpful. Genuinely a nice person. I will check them out in the future when I need another vehicle. Definitely recommend.
Our experience with Dave at Diamond Auto was exceptional. We never felt pressured, he was kind, informative, had a great sense of humor and made our buying experience enjoyable. We were amazed at his honesty regarding the vehicle we were looking at, as we had done our research on the vehicle and knew its value/reputation. He was right on track. I would HIGHLY recommend that if you are in the market for a vehicle, stop at Diamond Auto. If they dont have the vehicle you are looking for, they will find it for you! Thanks, Diamond Auto, we LOVE our new (used) truck!!! Well be back again.
Stopped by to look at and test drive a 2017 Sprinter 4x4. Dave was very helpful and easy to deal with. We set up the visit via his website text service and heard back from Dave in minutes. Not sure if the Sprinter is right for us. However, we wouldn’t hesitate for a second to do the business with Dave at Diamond.
Dave & Ken are incredibly honest & make the buying process smooth and easy like it should be. I would highly recommend doing business with Diamond Auto.
I brought my car in to be detailed today- wow! They did an absolutely amazing job!!! My car looks better than it did when I bought it! Thank you guys SO much!
Sold me 2 Lemons. Nice guy tho
Fast and Friendly Service! Best car buying experience ever!!!Update: SUV had a couple issues. Brought it back and they resolved them, with no hassles!!! I will be back for my next purchase! Thank you Ken!
I recently bought a SUV from Dave. He was very professional and had a great experience.
My experience with Ken and his brother at Diamond Auto was excellent. I have never had such an easy transaction, which included financing, and they were both very accommodating to the fact that I was making a 2 hour drive to see the vehicle. It was even Kens day off, and he made it all come together for us, and my kids and I are so happy with our new Suburban! It was immaculate inside and out. I would highly recommend this company!
Very fair and well run business. I got a great car at a fair price. All you can ask for. Check them out.
Diamond Auto is hands down the best dealership I have ever been too!! From the moment I arrived, they respected my space to view the cars, answered all questions honestly and straight forward. In fact, they pointed things out I didn’t even see, something you don’t normally see from dealers trying to make a quick buck off of a buyer. I never felt forced to purchase a car. Once I was working to finance, Dave went above and beyond to ensure I would get the best rate available and to get me into the car I wanted. I appreciated my experience so much that I guarantee I will be back at Diamond Auto next time I am looking for another vehicle!Please check these guys out! You won’t be disappointed!
Great place, people, and cars. They were very helpful and kind, allowed me to test drive at least four cars in order to find the exact one I was looking for. (Johnny was so kind in allowing me to take my time). Ken, one of the owners, was beyond helpful. Without his help I wouldnt have ended up with such an amazing car. I didnt have the pleasure of meeting the other owner, Dave, but my father did and said only the same great things about him. Thank you to everyone at Diamond Auto!
Best service car wash. Been going since I bought my first car and all my family goes.
Had a great experience with this dealership and the gentlemen we worked with Ken. He was not pushy and let me and my wife talk things over and inspect the vehicle on are own. But also informed us of all the little features we may have been unaware of.He was honest and forthright about the vehicle we were interested in and was very helpful with are perchus. I would have no problem in the future purchasing a vehicle from this dealer.
Kenny and Dave were so nice and helpful to work with when looking for my new SUV! I needed something bigger for my growing family and they found me the perfect fit! The paperwork process was so easy and stress free. My husband has purchased two vehicles from them as well. We always tell people we know to go see them if need a new(used) car!
Our experience with Diamond Auto Inc. was nothing but professional. Not a high pressure sales pitch. Ive told several people about your great service and fair pricing.
Bought a car from them, it had issues the same night. They said it wasn’t their problem and didn’t have to help with the cost, but would pay for half 900 dollars later. On the other hand staff very nice.
Just bought a 2013 GMC Yukon Denali and out of the 30+ years of buying used cars this was the best experience i had out of all of them. Dave was so nice, friendly and straight forward. I had no issues with any part of the process and all the paper work was a breeze. And all the cars were very well detailed in cleaning, it looking like it was brand new inside. I am definitely going to be buying more used cars from him in the future.
Please take the time to read this!!!!Have purchased two vehicles from them within the last year and a half. (2003 Pathfinder, 2009 Audi A5) They took the time to ask me what I was looking for and what I expected to pay. They also got me in with a Credit Union that I am very happy to be using. Its hard to complain when you drive off the lot in a used Audi and have no immediate service needed besides oil changes... for 6 months!!!!(knock on wood) She runs like a champ! And @ 130K miles now I am still all smiles. Because YOU are buying a USED vehicle make sure YOU take the time to look it over. Not blame them. Dave and Ken have been more than helpful with my vehicle purchases. I highly recommend their lot. Any questions on my review or of the company please dont hesitate to shoot me a message on here.NO paid promotion here. Just a happy customer.Thanks Dave and Ken!
I dropped off my well-loved by 4 children car to Diamond Auto and was more than happy with the results of the detailed cleaning. It looked like a brand-new vehicle! I gladly recommend them for auto detailing.
Diamond just finished the inside and outside of my 2008 300, Wow never thought it could look like new again! No BS!!!! Best detail job Ive ever had you can tell they take pride in their work!
Nice clean car. Friendly,helpful staff, reasonable prices
All of the light gray fabric seats, door panels, and dashboard of my F150 super cab (used for fire investigation) are clean and bright again! I have no idea how they got the soot and char out, but they did. Amazing care was taken during the interior detailing of my truck. Will I take my truck back to them again? ABSOLUTELY!!!
Hey Even if you are not looking to buy a car here they offer a great detailing service. My Wifes car that hauls around 4 of the messiest kids alive and Dave and his crew managed to make the car look literally brand new. In my opinion the price was more than reasonable too.
Ken is easy going and doesn’t pressure you to buy a vehicle. The dealership is a small business that provides a personal touch to the buying experience. Ken is honest,!trustworthy, knowledgeable. If you are looking to buy a vehicle check with Ken first on CarGurus.
Check the vehicle over carefully
Great job on the car detailing
Ken was great to work with; a very easy going guy. Never felt any pressure any of the times we were there and we were there quite a few times. Thank you for your patience and the great deal on the Mercedes!!
We dealt with Ken on our purchase, he was very easy going and not pushy. He lets us look at the vehicle without any pressure. Once my wife and I decided on the vehicle, he helped us with the paperwork and we were leaving with our newer vehicle.
Great deals, I bought a Cadillac here with 53,000 miles and only Paid 11 grand now thats a bargain thanks again guys😊
If we could give zero we would. Single worst car(s) buying experience EVER. We purchased 2 vehicles from Diamond Auto of Ramsey MN. Both vehicles turned out to be unsafe to drive immediately after purchase. 1st vehicle needed all new front end steering etc...$1100. Second vehicle has catastrophic motor problems pre-existing to when we purchased (we have only put on 1200 miles since purchase and we are unable to drive). Diamond Auto not only hides behind the AS IS condition they demean their customers and urge you to take it to their mechanic to pay for repairs out of your pocket no matter the circumstance. BUYER BEWARE!! There are many dealerships out there we will never step foot on the Diamond auto lot ever again. Pretty sad when a business operates this way.
Had my girls suv detailed and it looks great. Only reason for a 4 star is because there was a couple little spots they missed but overall it was a good job.
I take our few of our fleet vehicles here a few times a year. They do an awesome job detailing my van and make my bosses car look new again, he spends a lot of time on dirt roads, not an easy task. Thank you Diamond Auto. I look forward to having my Harley done by you as well.
Nice guy. All of his vehicles were reasonably priced and looked really good.
Kenny went above and beyond for me. he was honest and upfront which gave me comfort while buying my vehicle! very happy.
Very nice people, we just bought an 09 yukon Denali from them, good price and a nice ride!
They did a FAwesome Job. Fair price and Chad was great dealing with Chad.
My detailing experience has been amazing. I have used them a dozen times between cars and boats. I strongly recommend this company!
Ken is awesome...he worked hard for us and found my mom a great car. Thank you for the great service. 👍
Fantastic! We had our SUV detailed by Diamond Auto and it looks like brand new. Awesome result and at a good price. Would totally recommend.
I bought a vehicle here. If there was a zero I would pick it. I bought a vehicle from them, and the next day after it broke down. I had the vehicle for total of 8 months. I put more money into it than I spent on it. THEY, attempted to fix in 2 times then they told me I was on my own. When they did bring me to their back yard mechanic... they gave me a rental... I pulled out of the lo,t and the check engine light came on. I called them right away, and they said I did something to their car. Come to find out. Their fleet is all FLOOD damage. For being a christian company they sure are not trust worthy.
Kenny and Dave are great people!! My truck is very nice!! Thanks fellas! This is my 4th vehicle I have purchased from Diamond!!
Promise x amount of money then getting paid way less than promised. DONT deal with Dave. Ask for his brother
If I could I would give diamond auto ten stars. Ken and the rest of his team are the best! I highly recommend diamond auto!
Dave was down to earth and straight forward with me. Really nice guy and very helpful with deciding on my Jeep. I would definitely go back here instead of dealing with another dealship!
Before I start, I am not paid or tipped reviewer and I am yet to get a vehicle by the time I write this review but the kind of response I am getting is encouraging me to write one.So like others, I do read all the reviews but I believe more in experiencing than believing in words so I took a ride to Ramsey. On my way I did call Diamond Auto and Ken picked the call. I inquired about the vehicle condition and I was humbled by the gesture that Ken got up from his place, went to the car to tell me over call everything about how the car condition was. I was so impressed that I continued my journey. I got a very casual reception which I loved. I dont want 3 people running towards me ( feels like to rip me off). Its been 3 days and Ken is getting the vehicle ready. He just told me that he wants me to have a good experience with him when I own and drive the car which was something any car owner would love to hear.Okay, so I will add to my review after a few months if I get the car as still I need to get the finial inspection done but still I admire Ken for his time and help he is extending. To the readers, its not bad to make a visit before just calling off reading reviews. If want to play safe, call and ask about the vehicle and if want to be lucky, ask for Ken :-). And (whisper to the ladies), he is an eye candy as extra perk for you ;-).Well thanks and hoping for a good experience with car after a great service. Good luck to me!!**After a month update**So I got my car(Audi) and I am still happy with overall deal. The car has some hiccups but I cant blame the dealer as I bought an old one. The good part is that Ken always welcomes and helps me out with questions and suggestions which is great when you have no idea who to reach out to. Finally, I recommend Diamond Auto for Car needs and for the reader, dont just believe blind but talk to them and ask questions. I am pretty sure asking wont hurt. Hope I will continue to enjoy my Car and thanks to Ken!!
I filled out an app to see if I’m pre-approved for a loan. I did let one of the gentleman there that I would have money put down once I know if I’m approved. I was promised to get a call back on Monday about it. No call to follow up with my status. Don’t judge someone based on what they wear thinking I don’t have the funds. It’s okay I guess I’ll put my money else where. How are you going to get buyers if you don’t follow through what you say if you are talking business. Just shred my application smh.
Nice vehicles!!!
If you are young looking they will pre qualify you before you step in the door, disappointing.
Bought a pick up in February of 2018.Left the lot no problem.Next day... smfhIve put over $3000 in to an $8000 truck.“Previous owner was a diesel tech”My ass.It’s now April. And they haven’t bothered to register the truck to my name. By law supposed to be done in 10 days. It took two months and multiple phone calls.And hey don’t read their kbb ads they put on their vehicles, they mark them up $2-5000 to make it seem like you scored.This company is a joke.
Traded my truck in Ken and Dave were great to work with and I love my new wheelsI would go back for sureThank you
Dave was great to work with, very friendly and helpful, and didn’t pressure us with anything. I’m so happy with my purchase!
I recently purchased a vehicle from Diamond Auto and was very pleased with the service I received. I wasnt heckled or pressured in any way. I know that when i have to look for another vehicle the first place i will go is Diamond Auto!
Bought a 2011 Cadillac CTS from Ken and the whole process went very smoothly. Couldn’t have asked for a better car! Thanks Ken and Diamond Auto Inc!
I bought a Pathfinder from them and Dave(co-owner) worked with me on everything. He was upfront with everything and it was the way a car should be purchased., Stress Free and no gotchas.
If I can give this business a ZERO I would! Apparently it’s popular to sell lemons to single mothers & the public! By the way the BBB is a bunch of BS! That was given falsely! I brought a vehicle that only lasted 6 days then blew up. David said to me well what do I want me to do? I replied I want my money back! He stated I can’t do that! So let me get this straight he sold me a lemon & refused to do anything about it. He will write a review stating that he contacted me that also is false! He is false& so is his so called business! DO NOT purchase anything from him as he is s crook! Find another business!!
I love giving good reviews to companies that deserve them but cant even give this place any stars (except it requires me to click on one to post a review) as I recommend avoiding it at all costs. There are very unethical practices here and this is exactly why salesmen in general get a bad reputation. We got the ol bait and switch after heading there to buy it with cashiers check in hand. But thats ok because they clearly didnt want us to go through with a vehicle inspection so Im glad we didnt end up with a lemon. I dont appreciate being treated like Im naive or would fall for this trickery like an idiot. It was so bad that we thought maybe we were on an episode of Ashton Kutchers Punked show. We feel bad for the person who did end up buying this vehicle without an inspection. Wish it could have turned out better but hopefully we can help others to avoid a costly mistake.
Worst service ever. Not even nice people. They dont care about their customers they do nothing wrong ever. Will never recommend to anyone.
Went to get my car detailed here and was left with an unbuffed car and some of my things stolen/missing. A waste of money.
Id give them 0 stars if it were possible this man is a theif!
Please please save your self the time and trouble and avoid this place at all costs. They are exactly why used car salesmen get their sad reputation.
Got the truck and the battery was dead, needs brakes and rotors, headlights out, engine lights on. I would stay clear of this lot as much as you can.
Dont shop bought Denali was told as I was leaving it was for sure as is now week later needs a motor
Good
Great business!
Would never do business again, check engine light was on when I bought a truck from them he said it was a sensor ended up having to put a new motor in it $7,200 later, bunch of liars !!!
I work for them for a week as a detailer it was a joke they tell you how much money you will make and never give you any cars to clean but make you be there 9 to 5 i had to find a different job and I gave them all my information and they never paid me for the week I was there
Great place for all accessories
If i could just give -20 stars for this business lol worst!
Not a good selection
Good deal
