Gig Harbor Motor Company

My car was totaled, so I had to replace it fairly quickly. I contacted Dan at Gig Harbor Motor Company, and although he didn’t have what I was looking for in my inventory, he communicated with me, and took the time to narrow down what I was looking for. You just don’t get this kind of attention from most dealerships. I wanted to shop local (Gig Harbor) as I like to support local/​small businesses. When I asked Dan if he could recommend another dealership close-​by (on this side of the Narrows Bridge) in case he didn’t come into what I was looking for by my deadline, he provided the name of a dealer, which, as it turned out, had the perfect vehicle for my needs today. I made sure I let that dealership know where I got my referral, and they knew of Dan, and had good things to say about him, too. Although happy with this deal, I’d still check Dan’s website the next time I’m shopping for a used vehicle first!
Thanks, Dan!

I purchased a used Ford Edge from Dan at Gig Harbor Motor Co and can’t stop smiling! Dan is a top-​notch, warm and genuine business owner. It was a refreshing car-​buying experience and I really felt taken care of. He did repairs prior to the sale and happily offered the Carfax– I love my car and highly recommend that you check out his dealership prior to purchasing elsewhere!

I was quite pleased with my experience with Dan here. I should say that I’m generally very skeptical of small used car dealerships due to the variety of horror stories out there of people getting ripped off. It’s unfortunate, though, as there are honest car dealers out there. Anyway, back to the point.
I saw an ad for a Tundra that was posted on craigslist that caught my eye. I sent an e-​mail with some basic questions and found Dan to be quite helpful. I asked if there would be an issue with taking it to a mechanic (see my Mackert review) and he was very receptive to that idea. He informed me of the things the truck needed for maintenance.
The front brakes needed replacing, which he was planning on having done the next week, but gave me the option of a discount if I wanted to do them myself. I told him I was fine with just having him do the brakes — a job that was confirmed to be done at inspection.
We ended up buying the truck and I would definitely look there again for another used car.
