I bought a used Toyota Solara from this dealership on June 1st, 2025. I was told the car had been inspected by their in-house mechanic and had no issues, or at least none they were aware of. Since it’s a June 1st, 2025. I was told the car had been inspected by their in-house mechanic and had no issues, or at least none they were aware of. Since it’s an older vehicle, I wasn’t expecting perfection, but I did expect it to be safe to drive. Just four days later, I took it for a third-party inspection. What my mechanic found was not just disappointing, it was dangerous: • No functioning brakes — no brake pads at all, and the rotors were worn way below safety speak • Slipping transmission with black fluid and large metal debris • Severely leaking radiator • Leaking oil pan gasket • Worn suspension (control arms and sway bar links) • Completely missing window regulator and motor on the driver's side — the glass was held up by a single screw The mechanic literally asked how I made it to his shop alive. He said any competent technician would have caught these obvious issues. Which means either their in-house mechanic was incompetent, or the dealership knowingly sold me a dangerous vehicle. I accept that it was naive to trust the salesperson without getting my own inspection first — but this goes beyond optimism. This was negligent and potentially criminal. They let this car onto Washington public roads for test drives, fully aware that it was unsafe. Someone could have been killed. When I raised the issue with Steve Guiberson, who said he was part of management, he questioned why I didn’t tow the car back to them for repairs. I may be naïve, but I’m not stupid. I wouldn’t trust the same people who sold me a deathtrap to fix it, how am I supposed to have faith in your business after you let this vehicle leave your lot in such a condition. Unless you have the time, money, and skills to completely rehab a used car, avoid this dealership at all costs. And if you still consider buying from them, get a third-party inspection before you even test drive, because they clearly don’t disclose critical safety issues. More

Curbside motors went above and beyond to help me get my new used car. The car had set for a while so the battery was dead and they called and had a new one delivered while I was there. They were helpful th new used car. The car had set for a while so the battery was dead and they called and had a new one delivered while I was there. They were helpful they got me through the financing and I can't say enough about how great they were. They made me comfortable while I waited for the financing to come through and they treated me with dignity and respect. I would recommend them to anybody looking for a used car. More

Found myself walking onto their lot on a Sunday afternoon. Not really hopeful after seeing what was available on a Sunday. But I found the perfect little truck! Ray was able to negotiate a very fai afternoon. Not really hopeful after seeing what was available on a Sunday. But I found the perfect little truck!

I found Curbside Motors through car search sites, looking for specific vehicles. I worked most with Ray and with Rafeeq when Ray was out. They were great and very helpful in answering my questions and did no for specific vehicles. I worked most with Ray and with Rafeeq when Ray was out. They were great and very helpful in answering my questions and did not engage in any high pressure salesmanship. Scheduling a pre-purchase inspection with my own mechanic was a hassle-free experience and was a critical aspect of my decision to buy the car. I worked with Janet to pay for the vehicle. She was also great and provided very clear explanations of the terms. I knew I was buying a used car without a warranty (they do offer aftermarket warranty options) and I didn't have any false expectations. Everything was very clear and spelled out. My experience at Curbside Motors was a pleasant and very professional one. I would recommend them to others. More
