  Took a flight from California all the way to Portland just to buy a truck from this fine business. This man is honest and trustworthy. He has been a God send for us. Our truck is running strong and it was CLEAN! You won't find many business who run with the honesty this man has.

  The owner of this dealership has no problem selling you a car with problems and trying to charge you to fix them later on. He was very rude too. I came to this car lot because of a lexis rx 300 I saw an ad for on craigslist. The owner was very rude, didn't seem to care much about me or the questions I had about the car' The OBVIOUS things about the car that weren't working he sort of shrugged off; Not all of the door actuators worked, air conditioning didn't work, and a couple of other easy to fix issues. I felt uneasy about his attitude but he agreed to fix some things and call me when they're done. After more than a week went buy I called to check on progress of the car and he was very rude on the phone. I decided I wouldn't do business with him. A few weeks passed however and I couldn't find a better car within my price range. So I called back and His wife assured me they were sorry and glad to have my business. He and I agreed to a price and I bought the car a few days later once all the work was finished. I drove that car for a few weeks, 10 mile daily work drive. nothing crazy. I ended up blowing a head gasket and needing that fixed. I called the owner of Columbia sales and service and he assured me he'd take care of it. I had the car towed there and he "fixed the issue". However, when I showed up to pick up the car once the worked was finished(showing up completely unannounced) his wife informed me that she "couldn't find the keys" for it. ok, well in the mean time while they scrambled around looking for them the owner called and had wanted to speak to me as he unfortunately had step out for the moment.(oh darn) He went on to tell me about the work they did in having the head rebuilt and installing it and the cost for him was around 2000$ He wanted me to pay for half of the repair because he felt like I should be responsible as he had no idea whit I had done to it!? Umm no thanks. I had noticed when my car died that it was WAY overfilled with oil, I had not even checked the oil as the car was literally just out of his shop and I was trusting. This is pretty likley what caused it so. When I told him no his wife popped up with my car keys (which felt like a move they made to stall me so he could try and charge me even though they knew they had no right to)and I said good bye. He said "well good luck". In an ominous way as remember. I went to jiffy lube and had the fluid levels checked. cool. A few months pass doing my regular daily drive, a beach trip, nothing too crazy. Maybe 6,000 miles were put on it. The engine seized up on me on the side of the highway and now the engine needs to be completely replaced. There was obviously more wrong with this car than I was informed of and I would guess that him and his team knew about these problems and tried to not only pass them off as my fault but charge me for them. I would never trust this sleaze ball If I were you. By the way.... this is the very first review I have EVER taken the time to write.

  This dealership was amazing! We just bought a mini van from them and our bank made a few mistakes so we had to keep going back and forth. The workers were so patient and kind. Very friendly and accommodating! For our next car purchase I would return!
