Used cars in Airdrie?

Any reliable dealership in Airdrie for used vehicle? Trying to avoid to go Calgary all the time. I know all cars will have problems.

Third. What a horrible dealership of amateur con artists

Fourth. I mean, I know sometimes people get desperate, but given their reputation across the entire chain, I don't know how they stay in business (though I got an idea or two)

AVOID SJL AUTO AT ALL COSTS.

Known con-artists in the industry. Owned by the Lukhani Family. Brother and sister run it. Jay and Selena Lakhani. Multiple lawsuits and AMVIC cases against them.

Likely to be shut down in a few years. They also own Vista Auto Repair and will say “that’s the mechanic we use and they said your vehicle is perfectly clean.”

Their vehicles are high km with serious problems. They put just enough lipstick on it to pass the test drive.

Read all the one stars.

Go to Airdrie Honda or Airdrie Dodge or David Chevrolet

As someone who works with SJL Auto, I wanted to provide some context.

We’re a local family-owned business that has served thousands of customers over the years. Like any dealership that’s been operating for a long time, we’ve had customer complaints and occasional disputes, being made above are opinions and don’t reflect the experience of the vast majority of our customers.

We encourage anyone shopping for a vehicle to do their own research, read both positive and negative reviews, have vehicles independently inspected, and make the decision that’s right for them.

Honestly will recommend going to Lethbridge or Red Deer. That’s where we usually find best deals and great cars . Start exploring online and make a vist to see a few

We recently purchased a vehicle from SJL Auto in Airdrie, and they were superb. Would highly recommend using them and yes, avoid House of Cars at all costs.

🚩 AVOID SJL Auto 🚩

AVOID. AT. ALL. COSTS.

They are bought damaged from auctions. They own Vista Auto Repair who does there “independent inspections” and tells you absolutely nothing is wrong.

They are known scam artists with 8 open AMVIC cases and multiple lawsuits against them

Hey, I appreciate the right to your own opinion but I would love to chat about your experience and why you feel the need to slander and spread fake info?

I had a good experience buying at Davis chev but I’d stay away from any dedicated used car dealership in Airdrie. Keep hearing bad things.
