Blue Knob Auto Sales

Gratitude Bought a Nissan today at Blue Knob. Had to junk (took a loss) on an 8 yr. old Hyundai (well maintained by us in the short time we owned - only 70,000 Bought a Nissan today at Blue Knob. Had to junk (took a loss) on an 8 yr. old Hyundai (well maintained by us in the short time we owned - only 70,000 miles). Long saga short, Cochran lied about this car's damaged, rusting frame and Hyundai customer service is the worst. Three expert opinions later, we were told the car was a liability. So, it was GRATIFYING to shop at Blue Knob again! Foolish we didn't go there in the first place. But, this trip offered the opportunity to share our experience and discourage them from purchasing Hyundai products. A lesson for Hyundai and Cochran -- unsatisfied customers will talk about their unsatisfactory experiences and that only hurts you. Now as for BLUE KNOB, this is our third purchase and we learned a lesson--BUY ONLY AT Blue Knob! From Pittsburgh it will take an entire day but worth the hike. We spent several hours window shopping and test driving about 8 different vehicles -- all on our own. No pressure or sales gimmicks. Financing has always been a relatively quick and efficient procedure but when its busy, allow for patience and time. It also helps to do a finance app on line before arrival. You shop there with the understanding there is no haggling. Blue Knob sells cars below KBB. Their sticker price is what it is. Some pricing seems better than others but there is option and plenty of choices. My only criticisms: If you call ahead and ask them to hold a particular vehicle until you arrive, they will do that. Once there, you can have one set of keys/vehicle for each test drive. If you are stuck on your decision, they won't hold any vehicle in reserve. Sales volume is high and cars go quickly. The unwillingness to hold what may be the customer's final contender could mean that you lose that vehicle to another customer. We drive from Pittsburgh so they could be holding a vehicle for us for several hours until we arrive as opposed to holding one vehicle while we are there and our decision would take less time. We know another couple had an interest in the car we ended up buying so we made our decision in the nick of time! Another criticism is that the sales person you are assigned is responsible for the dealer plate you are provided. Apparently there is an inside joke with sales staff where they take the license plates for ransom. Once we made our decision we parked the Nissan in lot. We left the license plate on it since we were done shopping. That plate went missing from the car. Our salesperson questioned if it could have fallen off or if we forget and left on another vehicle. The questions were not asked in an accusatory way but we are conscientious and worried we faulted. After our salesperson walked away, they came back saying it was recovered. That is when we learned about their inside joke of holding plates for ransoms (i.e. buying each other lunch). It's nice knowing the employees share a good rapport and can joke and gist with each other but admittedly it made us feel like we did something innocently wrong. As for the car buying experience and longevity of vehicle reliability and care, Blue Knob can't be beat. It was mid-month and they had already sold about 640 vehicles. I think that number speaks volumes for customer satisfaction! We have always been satisfied and will never shop at a local dealership again. More

Prepare to come up with extra money They completely messed up paperwork on taxes. I was told by salesman that according to state laws they had to withhold all sales taxes prior to sellin They completely messed up paperwork on taxes. I was told by salesman that according to state laws they had to withhold all sales taxes prior to selling the car and i would receive a check to pay the taxes so i could get plates and new title. Then the check came they did not take out the right amount of taxes and I had to come up with 1200.00 within 14 days to get tags. After 4 days there only response was for me to drive back the 9.5 hour trip and redo the loan. Horrible customer service. Bottom line if you don't live in Pennsylvania don't buy a car from here!!!

Great prices but pushy finance department I found a 2013 Mustang GT at Blue Knob that was the best priced one in the area. I filled out my finance app. online and got a call back from Zack st I found a 2013 Mustang GT at Blue Knob that was the best priced one in the area. I filled out my finance app. online and got a call back from Zack stating I had been approved and he talked to me a little bit about the car and sent me the Autocheck report and everything checked out. I went up the next day, test drove it, and decided I wanted to purchase it. Everything was good up until this point. I get in the room with the finance guy, Cory, and we're talking like buddies about cars and what not. He then gets to the extended warranty portion. I had to tell him I was not interested in the extended warranty no less than 6 times before he let it go. He said things like "You don't know why that guy traded this car in" and "it's a used card it's not if it's going to break it's when". Telling your customer that a car he is buying from you for $25,000 is DEFINITELY going to break isn't exactly a good strategy in my opinion. He would not let me respectfully decline the extended warranty without saying no over and over again. Also, he was trying to sell me just a power train warranty. This car is still under the factory power train warranty for another 2 years! His entire demeanor changed after this and it's like he didn't even want me in his room and I was a burden to him at this point. Before you let him hard sell you a warranty you don't need, check the status of your factory power train warranty and be prepared to say no at least 5-6 times and stick to your guns. Otherwise, Zack was great and the price couldn't be beat. More

Blue Knob doesn't honor their word or website prices. This is the first car review that I have ever written, but felt it was very necessary. This dealership does not honor its word or its prices on their This is the first car review that I have ever written, but felt it was very necessary. This dealership does not honor its word or its prices on their website. About 2 weeks ago I looked on their website and saw a 2013 Nissan Rogue AWD for $ 14,498. So I called the dealership to make sure everything on the site was right and that they still had it on the lot before I made the 3 hour trip. I talked to one salesman and went over everything to make sure it was right, and it was. The salesman gave me the total price, so I could go to the bank before I came up there. I had him to check to make sure it didn't have a smoker smell before I came up there. This salesman was not going to be there when I got there so he passed me onto another salesman, which is Ok. Another salesman called me back gave me the smoker information, so we went over everything again to make sure to make sure everything was right, and he said is was. He also gave me the total price so I could go to the bank to get the money $ 14,498. You would think I had done all I needed to do wouldn't you. My wife and I made the 3 hour trip one way and tried out the car and decided that we wanted it. We sat down we the second salesman that we had talked to and completed the paperwork and ended up around $ 14,667 without state sales tax which was Ok. Then he sent the paperwork to the finance dept. for us to pay and do the title work. We had the money so we didn't finance anything. A 1/2 hour later the salesman comes to us and says their is a small problem. He said that they marked the car wrong on the website and that it should have been 3 thousand more up to $ 17,498 and that he couldn't sell the car to us for the price the 2 salesman had given me before I made the trip up there. He said if we still wanted the car the manager would knock off a couple hundred dollars from the $ 17.498 price. I said that they should honor the price I was given by the two salesman and what their website said. The manager never came out to talk to my wife and I. It looks like false advertisement to me. I understand that anybody could make a mistake, but they should have sold the car for what their website and salesman said and what we agreed on before I went up there. They need to have someone double check for mistakes from now on. I covered all my bases before I made the trip and they didn't honor their word and the price I was quoted by 2 different salesman. Be very careful when dealing with that dealership. More

GREAT !!!' First time buyer and experience was GREAT! Sales rep Rosmary Nipps was a "Gem". Vehicle was as described. They were going to put in a new rear widow First time buyer and experience was GREAT! Sales rep Rosmary Nipps was a "Gem". Vehicle was as described. They were going to put in a new rear widow due to factory defect but auto glass people brought the incorrect glass. We purchased a. 2015 Ford Explorer. We spent a total of 3.5 hrs there and came home with our Explorer. They put 1/2 tank of fuel in it, the completely detailed it and changed oil. For those that have had a bad experience, I guess maybe you expected too much. Words of advice for first time people to Blue Knob (1) if you are trading something in you will get rock bottom trade in price and Non negotiable (2) although we had no issue as to finance but to get in/out quicker have it done before hand and yes, they will take a bank draft, electronic transfer or a personal check and (3) don't visit them on a Friday or Saturday as we were warned by others cause they average 60 - 70 cars those days so you can see that those two days you may experience some slight delays. You won't beat the straight buy no trade price. Being there was a defective rear window and it did not get replaced before we took delivery, the service department made arrangements for the window people to come to my home. We purchased the vehicle on a Thursday and the next day, Friday afternoon the glass people arrived at my home as promised and in 1 hour the window was replaced with a new one More
