Carhop Auto Sales & Finance

Very friendly people, helped me get approved and in the car I liked. Financed exactly what worked for me. Thanks car hop!

Ever walk into a place and feel like you’re in the same room as Satan?
If you come here you are, and Satan wants to seriously over charge you for a piece of junk car that you’re going to have to pump so much money into for maintenance that you’re going to end up walking to work anyway… Barefoot because you can’t afford shoes after CarHop robs you of your money and your dignity.
I got into a car accident a few years back and when my car was totaled I flipped out and made irrational decisions. Irrational decisions like thinking I needed a car that very second so I could get to work the next day.
I didn’t have credit at the time and being young and very, very stupid, I also had no savings. CarHop seemed like my only option if I stubbornly wanted something to fill the void that was once my car.
When you walk in the people are nice but they are salesmen through and through. Every comment has pressure behind it and they will make it sound like they are doing everything they can to help you, so you better accept what they have to offer you. Even if the offer is a hot steamy turd on a platter. They pretend it’s glistening with gold flecks and good intentions.
They act like they are pulling all these strings for you and then in the end they present you with the only option you «qualify for», which for me was a 1998 hunter green Saturn station wagon. Not a hatchback, ladies and gentlemen, a station wagon. I took this rockin’ ’98 pussy magnet for a test drive about a block away. I parked it and did the usual gear test to discover that it took approximately 15 seconds and a tap on the gas for the car to get into reverse. I let them know this when I got back
After more pressure and a reassurance that it was covered under the warranty they give you that they will replace the drivetrain parts free of charge so I can take it in and come out with a new sex rocket.
I literally felt like I had no choice so I had them write up the paperwork so we could discuss the price. For a busted 1998 green station wagon, after interest and with two monthly payments over $ 200 a pop, this car was close to $ 12,000. Realistically, it should have cost me $ 5,000 tops in running condition, which this one wasn’t.
Still, being the idiot that I was, I took it home and brought it to an approved dealer for the repairs. It was returned to me on the last day of the CarHop «Three day guarantee — If you’re not happy, return it within 3 days for a full refund», literally about an hour before they closed. I drive it home and it felt fine for about a block until Sam noticed the oil literally spraying from the car. We drove the car back, the tranny jerking the car around the whole way, only to find that CarHop was closed. I wrote a letter that said «Cars a piece of shit, I signed the papers at 9pm on _​_​_​_​date. It’s technically returned within the three days. I want my money back». I crammed the keys into the drop box and left.
My favorite part about this place is that they ask you to sign their «Thank you, Carhop» notes before you get the car, so before you realize they fucked you over.
I got my money back and they got their car back. I’m sure there are some people out there that have good experiences with CarHop, though I’ve yet to meet one.
They don’t actually want to help you. They want to make you feel like they are doing what they can and then they rob you blind. This is a terrible, untrustworthy company and I would never ever recommend it to anyone. Ever. CarHop will do nothing short of taking your children for sacrifice if you miss a payment.
If you are looking up CarHop on Unilocal because you need help then heed this warning. Read the online reviews and take them seriously. CarHop will not help you. Go to a credit union and see what they can do for you.
And don’t ever believe that a station wagon is a pussy magnet. It’s entirely not true.
