I am highly disappointed ! I had the car delivered and thy delivered almost dark! the tires are peeling rubber! I cant even drive because its roaring and sound horrible! The supervisor said they passed inspection! I have called about 20 times or more only to get a negative response! Im contacting the media if they don’t correct this very soon! I can’t believe they would actually let any car leave their lot with such bad tires! Im about to make some serious noise!!
Carnova took a down payment of $2000.00 then sent paperwork over the phone. It was e sign. After all the paperwork was done I realized the dealer changed the selling price to $12999 and then added warranties, gap and a huge delivery fee. When asked why I was taking a loan out for over $16k they couldn't give a straight answer. They agreed to send the down payment back but took almost 2 weeks for the check to arrive. I deposited the check into my bank account and my back is stating, "doubtful collectibility " meaning it was probably fraudulent. Still waiting to see if it actually deposits into my account. I do not recommend anyone use carnova
Carnova seriously knows how to take care of people. I pulled up expecting the usual,
and instead got treated like VIP from the jump. Quick, professional, and super friendlyâ
these guys donât miss a beat. The whole process was smooth and way easier than I
imagined. Big love to the Carnova team for making it all effortless. Yâall crushed it!

I didn’t go here in person but this dealership was very communicative about the car I was interested and kept in touch too make sure I was doing okay and if I needed anything from them
I was happy that they work with nationwide deliver but the clear details of cost to deliver need to be discussed prior to a deposit give to hold the car. Did not buy cause delivery was to be free and then when I got the purchase contract the delivery fee was extra since I was outside of the free delivery area. This needs to be discussed first when the buyer says they are out of town. Otherwise they are a good dealer but just not the right time for me.
BUYER BEWARE! Sold us a piece of junk with numerous problems that they did not disclose..claim they have free shipping policy when they indeed charge you...they charged us $1300 for a "processing fee" to ship vehicle, then we had to pay $1500 to return the vehicle...we are out $2800 bc they chose to ship us a piece of used junk for a price tag of $21,000 and now refuse to give us ANY of the money back after returning the car! Car was wrecked, airbag disconnected, missing pieces in engine, underneath spray painted to cover massive rust, chrome rims painted black to cover rust, backup camera didn't work, charging port broken, right wheel veered towards right and said it had one owner when it had two...excuses, no return phone calls, horrible customer service when this dealership CHOSE to try and deceive us, now refuses to make it right and pocketing almost $3000 in their little game! We want our money back!! BTW, car up for sale again on their lot!!
Rob was a great help. Very responsive, and was eager to help in any way he could. I would highly
recommend this dealer. Due to me being halfway across the country and having a trade-in to contend with
which I was upside down in, I couldn't make it work. Rob was very knowledgeable and had several
suggestions that made the process much easier with very little stress.

Amazing! This was the best car buying experience I ever had. I applied online by the next day I received a call advising me I was approved. This was the easiest experience I ever had in buying a car. I highly recommend Car Nova. The manager stayed in contact with me the entire process to ensure I was getting the best service. No. 1 in my book!
Feb 11, 2024
Very friendly and responsive.

Dealer called and texted me regarding the vehicle. They happily provided all information I requested including additional photos, videos
and a carfax. I bought the vehicle and it was shipped to me by the dealer and I am not disappointed at all. Everything on the vehicle was as
described. This car purchase was easier than actually visiting a dealer. I would definitely buy another vehicle from CAR NOVA!
Jan 31, 2024
Rob is very helpful. He answered all my questions
and took the time to send me pictures and videos
of the vehicle, even though I haven't purchased as
yet. It's a great distance between us, so I needed
to see all under the vehicle to be satisfied. Thank
you Rob.

Good communications
Oct 15, 2023
Grateful they didn't over do it and pester me with too many emails
Aug 10, 2023
Good attitude, and very detail oriented.
Carnova truly surpasses expectations as a used car dealership. With their exceptional service,
vast inventory, transparency, and unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction, they reign
as the ultimate choice. From the outset, I experienced attentive assistance and expert
guidance. The comprehensive vehicle details empowered me to make well-informed decisions.
The purchasing process was seamless, complemented by competitive financing options. Even
after the sale, Carnova's remarkable customer care persisted. For an extraordinary used car
experience, Carnova is without a doubt the top choice.
Car had to much oil in it. An inch over fill line. By the time we got the bolt off to drain oil and drive it. The transmission won’t shift to the gears goes 1 then 2 and 1 and no 2 never 3 wines out RPM don’t shift. Bought car that’s completely junk. Dealer had to have known about transmission. The worst buying nightmare of my life got screwed for 13500

Response from current dealership:
Hello Nicolas, We do tell our customers and encourage them to put a deposit down to secure the car when it is a hot car. We mentioned that to you and you declined.
I was to receive a call back from Sky so that we could do a walk thru before I pur hated this vehicle. It never happened. I called multiple times and finally 4 days later I reached a man who told me they just sold the car I was literally trying to buy. Very unprofessional and no way to do business.
Jan 18, 2022
Outstanding service and helpful, would definitely refer anyone I know looking for a quality vehicle.
Jul 10, 2021
Very helpful salesman.
Jun 21, 2021
Don't trust them they ran my credit then afterwards said they sold the car I wanted and tried to get me to get another vehicle. Stay away.
May 24, 2021
When I arrived to pick the car , I was a little disappointed because it was an outside lot and the car was dirty and there were some cosmetic imperfections not seen in the website, but after addressing these issues, I was given an adjustment on the price and the car was cleaned and it looked great. I would purchase another car at CarNova again
Apr 12, 2021
I contacted them about test driving a BMW. Upon entering their car lot I noticed they had quite a few cars but they were ALL dirty. The car had a few issues with that I noticed during the test drive...issues that I was willing to fix if the price could be lowered. They stop responding when I asked to take $500 off....they seem shady and just money hungry. Cars were FILTHY
Cars for sale appeared to be dusty & dirty. Dealership sits right on Jefferson Davis Hwy. They probably should wash car's prior to showing them to a customer. Musty odor's on inside probably from not being ventilated periodically. Was given a vehicle for a test drive. When I got in to vehicle and drove off, I noticed fuel tank was on empty and indicator light was on. Made a U-turn back to dealership and asked them to address problem, which they did. It seems as if no one is interested in presentation of vehicles anymore at some of these used car lot's, staff appears to be more focused on pushing a financial product 1rst, cars second.

Easy to work with
Feb 8, 2021
We did not buy the vehicle due to personal preference. But with that said,
the customer service is top notch. They maintained in contact by text,
they were not âpushy sales peopleâ, giving us time to review the vehicle,
and test drive it without them. Very kind sales people who truly want to
make it a positive experience. I am very impressed that they are willing to
do MD inspections, a huge plus for us. Again, our decision not to buy the
vehicle had nothing to do with the customer service or this dealership. It
was not the vehicle for us. But, I would tell people to not hesitate to go
look at their vehicles, all very well priced and good values.
Dec 18, 2020
The staff were very nice and and helpful. I love that they even sanitize the cars before going on test drive!! Loved everything about this dealership!
Nov 20, 2020
The Dealer Salesman was very polite and patient!
Oct 27, 2020
Great Experience!! They really addressed all of my concerns. They made me feel very comfortable. I will be back.
Oct 23, 2020
The dealer contacted me right away , I asked to have options on purchasing this car and I was never contacted again. I contacted them twice
and the only time I herd from them was at first. Seems to me a 15 year old car with 118k miles on it I a least deserve the courtesy of a return
call with options to purchase.
Oct 2, 2020
Cristina was very helpful on the phone
Sep 27, 2020
Drive an hour and a half to see beautiful car pictured. The car has been wrecked and
they told us we should have noticed it in the pictures. The pictures didn't look the same.
Scratches and dents were everywhere. The red car looked like a four year old played in
red fingernail polish while trying to cover up every scratch and dent. The passenger side
floor board was soaking wet. The brakes, calipers and rotors were rusted. Not to
mention oil was dripping from underneath the car. We had seen enough. We didn't even
bother to test drive it. Lesson learned, we will buy local from a dealership or private
owner.
Sep 9, 2020
A wonderful team. Very helpful, professional yet friendly. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Jul 27, 2020
Awesome People! Awesome Experience! The
professionalism was utterly impeccable!

Great Deals
I called about a convertible MINI that was listed with an inoperable top. My wife was very interested in the car,
which was over 5 hours away from our home. After 5-phone conversations with 4-different individuals, one
being the manager, requesting their technician's assessment of the top's issue and no responses back, we
gave up. I had the money ready, the insurance in place, the hotel paid for, the days off from work to make the
journey, but after the last guy I talked to said he would ask the technician and call me back in 5 minutes and
never called back, I threw in the towel. They have been sitting on this car for several months and don't seem to
care if they sell it or not. If ran my company the way they do business, I would be out of business.
Apr 23, 2020
Car Nova wasnt quick to respond to my inquiry so I contacted them. Sales manager was extremely helpful and got straight to the point ( thanks ). Rebecca was here name. She tried all options and got me the best deal possible. Unfortunately upon her leaving for the day the vehicle was sold . Disappointed had a cash deal. Thought we had numbers and deal worked out and they sold car the same day. The Infiniti G37 X Coupe was a lovely car. Thanks for your help. Thankful I was about to find E350 Coupe with same miles 55,279 at lower price 13,500 OTD . I would recommend this dealership but please go in if you are looking to purchase a car. 4 stars for Rebecca, 1 star for response to after original inquiry , 3.5 stars price/quality and 1 star communication
( Overall Experience 2.5 )

Did not get to dealer but he was very helpful on the phone
I called to purchase a car and spoke to like 4 different people and they all told me something different. If toy ask what is the cash price of the car why would they send u a buyers orders with the same price of the car. I have the cash i asked the manager would he come down on the price he told me yes and when they call me back about the car rebecca told me she could take a $100 dollars off a $11,695.00 what kind of deal is that. Then i ask was the manager in she said that he wasn't available.
Dec 15, 2019
Fast, easy and very friendly. Highly recommend them. Love our car!!
Nov 17, 2019
Great experience ! Took really great care of me. Valued my time and money ! Thank you car nova! Enjoying my car ( 2 months later )!!!!
Sep 28, 2019
They did reply to me right the way,
Sep 18, 2019
It does not matter if the seller is good if they sell defective cars, like the one I bought here. A week after I bought the car, it had to be in the mechanic for another week, and the
dealer did not take the car to pass the emissions inspections, so I had to do it too to get the plates. Smiles and free sodas don´t cover my losses.
Sep 4, 2019
Nice people
Jul 20, 2019
Christina was very helpful.
Jun 10, 2019
Poor experience. Filled out credit application online, but no one contacted me. Sale rep started to ignore my messages about the car after a while.
May 28, 2019
Great Personal contact and plenty of good information
Apr 4, 2019
Mark good dude, very helpful hope we can do business
Dec 20, 2018
I wanted to go in & buy the car asap...did the credit app...but after I did the credit app, no specific reply to my email, they just keep emailing me about my interest in the car. That sorta kind of throws me off about the professionalism...butttttttt I still haven’t been to the actual dealer so my 1 star isn’t personal, it’s more as a disappointment through communication that’s all
Sep 29, 2018
2008 Dodge Charger with 116317 miles. Very nice an respect full people. However they do not negotiate at all and they want vehicle have been In accidents for full value which isn't how things work. Also on the dodge charger 2008 red it need all new tires breaks and probably suspension. If you have an question about car value check nada guidelines before you buy a car and remember if it's been in an accident it's not worth the mark vaule. THANKS AND HAVE A GREAT DAY
Sep 27, 2018
Was contacted by the dealer will go this Saturday to see the car and see if a deal works out
Sep 19, 2018
Thanks you so much Mark!! You were so patient and awesome!!
Aug 29, 2018
Honest sales stuff , I bought a Chevy Avalanche
from them last Saturday.
Very quick responses and follow-up to date, but no additional photos or other requested information as per my E-post. Mo (internet sales Mgr.) seems to be very willing to answer questions and offer test drive of this Rover. Still curious about some issues as i live around 135 KM from their location, but I'll probably give them a chance to do business with me with regard to this vehicle on offer.
Jun 28, 2018
Responded almost immediately.
Exchanged emails and discussed the car. Took a drive down to their location
last weekend. Very friendly staff, had car ready to test drive and we took it
out for a long drive with no pressure just nice conversation. Ultimately the car
was a little more worn than I would prefer and did not have the navigation
package or the back-up camera. Looks like it sold to another buyer this
weekend. I'd go back if they had exactly what I was looking for...
They were great in communication however the sales person did not know much about the car. No problem for me. The car is listed accident free but found some Bondo cracking on front fender. All wheels were hevily curbed to a point where you could feel a shake while driving. Drove four hrs for this. When I mad an offer I was told that they could take a few hundred off but not what I was offering. Bit disappointing but glad I did not put money down on it. Did look like they had a few nice vehicles on the lot.
Dec 3, 2017
They responded to my first couple of emails. Then when I asked for pictures of the car since they had none posted. I never got a response back. I called them and some to someone. They said the car was out at the moment and they would take and send pictures too me, but never did. Then they just stop responding to me and wouldn't return my calls or emails.

Wow great place to get vehicle of your choice great service very polite timely manner

Clean showroom. Zero pressure. Really nice cars. I did not buy as I was checking them out, but I may be back.
This dealership is great. I contacted them on a Friday afternoon I spoke with Sonya and I asked about the vehicle I was interested in. I also asked if she could send me more pics so that I could really check out something before my husband and I decided to drive to Virginia to see this vehicle. Sonya said sure and she took more pics and sent them to me within 15 mins. I then sent them to my husband and the car was perfect so we decided to take the trip. I called Sonya back within the hour and told her that my husband and I would be very interested in coming to look at the vehicle and we would be coming 3 1/2 hours away. Sonya said great I will get them to clean this vehicle up for you because we’ve had a huge pollen issue she also asked if it was anything else I was interested in and I said yes.. she said cool I’ll get them both cleaned up. I then told Sonya that we should arrive by noon on that Saturday and if interested we would be trading in a vehicle. She said great I’ll have my people on point. My husband and I arrived exactly at noon and as soon as we pulled up I seen the two cars we were interested in sitting there cleaned up and ready to go.. when we got out and looked around this place was busy but we were greeted very professionally and promptly by Rasheed and he knew exactly who we were. He said that he was glad we made it safely and very glad to have us and he knew we had been riding for awhile so go in and use the restroom and get a beverage and we will start our day. He then turned around and asked this lovely lady named Rebecca to assist us and she did.. we went on in got refreshed and came back outside and we looked they had one car pulled and up and ready for the test drive. Rasheed rode with us and explained this vehicle had a lot of power and I could really see it if I hit the highway but it was my choice. I decided not to so I cruised on back to the lot kinda testing the vehicles power on that main strip. When we got back they had the other vehicle ready to go Rasheed asked Rebecca to ride with us on this test drive and she did.. my husband took the back seat and we took off. Rebecca was great and she tested the vehicles passenger seat options and was blown away. Her and I tripped out and I asked if we could hit the highway and she said sure.. we did and wow I got excited.. this car was very very very nice and was giving me everything I expected and more.. about 15-20 minutes later we pulled up at the lot and Rasheed greeted us and asked us what we thought. I told him I liked it and he said great... Ima give you two some time to think...he left us with the keys and my husband and I was comparing the two vehicles.. we took about 30 mins and then decided on the one that initially caught our eye... we noticed a couple of minor issues inside the car and we spoke with Rasheed about them and he said no problem I can get those taken care of. He then took us inside and we began to handle our business. About 10 mins later this little dude named Mark came in and he started to assist us. This little dude is a mess.. very funny but professional at the same time.. he went out and checked our trade in vehicle and came back and gave us an amount and my husband and I was like seriously can you do better..it was approaching lunch time and Rasheed said we’re ordering pizza.., I swear it seemed like that pizza got there in 1.9 seconds... Mark said let’s eat some pizza and let me think some more.. so we took a little lunch break and then we jumped back into it Mark came back and increased it the amount by $500... so we took the deal. We were dealing with our own credit union from out of town so I had to make a couple phone calls and do some faxing... that was a very lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnng process but it was on our end my credit union took all day to get stuff right...needless to say we stayed there until close but we cut up with everyone and enjoyed ourselves.. Rasheed got the minor issues fixed and they got the car cleaned up and gassed up for our trip back home. Rasheed was even so sweet to give us a gift card and he told us he wanted to do it because we had been up there all day and was very patient and kept a good attitude the whole time. We thanked him so much for that. We then looked and here comes Mark.. he said let me take y’all’s picture by your new car... we took the pic and thanked all them for a great day and we took off on our 3 1/2 hours drive home. My husband and I are enjoying our 2011 S550 Mercedes Benz. We will definitely do business again with Carnova these people rock.
Oct 20, 2017
Good
Aug 16, 2017
They responded quickly. Due the vehicle having had a previous accident, I wasn't interested in the vehicle any longer. Not necessarily a reflection of the dealers services.
Aug 11, 2017
they didnt have a lot of answers on the truck,and it was not what the photos showed. hood needed painted,door panels were broke,rubber was loose and hanging,radio knobs were worn off.
Aug 10, 2017
Very kind, and fast.
Jul 26, 2017
Very good, nice informative people...liked the experience.
Jul 18, 2017
They focus on performance cars (though they had many family cars also.) Bought the car I went to look at and had a good experience.
Jun 22, 2017
Mark, the salesman who assisted me, was very professional and did not beat around the bush. If he couldn't answer my questions, he did not hesitate to tell me and directed me to the folks who did. I recommend this dealership to anyone and very thankful for this beautiful truck they put me in. Kudos to Mark and staff at Car NOVA
Apr 13, 2017
Was quick in response,set up day and time to come to dealer to test drive and look at vehicle, let in touch.
Mar 1, 2017
Got there and salesman i spoken with was with
another customer so someone else came out to
help me. Was inquiring about a car and wanted
to know what i could get if i traded off my
car..was very insulted by his response so was
not interested in the car i was inquiring about.not
a good experience.wont recommend anyone to
them.
Feb 16, 2017
I did not go with this vehicle but the sales
associate that I worked with we very helpful and
kind.
Jan 19, 2017
Dealer asked $1500 above listed price
How did I violate terms of use and what more do you wish me to say. The dealer advertised the vehicle for $16495 and when I wanted to buy it they wanted $18000. I thought my review was spot on. I am sorry I didn’t candy coat it and say how wonderful they were and after having a pleasant conversation with two people they tried to bend me over for another $1500 bucks.
I am supposed to be buying another vehicle from another seller this week. We shall see how that works out.

Justin has been great in giving me information on a car I am looking at . Very personable . Thx
Oct 13, 2016
It has been two weeks since I since i sent in a request. The day after I got a email with just the CarGurus link to it. I then requested for more details and photos. They responded they will get it to me shortly. Now it'd been 13 days and since and still no info.
Jun 15, 2016
Very nice to work with, did everything they could to help me get my car.
Apr 18, 2016
The car had been sold the day I contacted them, and they still took the time to reach out to let me know. Thanks guys!...now let's find me another red 3-series!
We never got a chance to work a deal due to a few factors unrelated to the
"deal." Overall, I felt good about this dealership and would entertain the
possibility of purchasing a car from them in the future. The sales person I
dealt with seemed very knowledgeable about the used car business
however, he aggressive nature was somewhat disconcerting.
Mar 24, 2016
Good deal
Feb 18, 2016
Great
Sep 6, 2015
All cars are detailed exquisitely and are very clean. I ended up
purchasing elsewhere but this used car dealer is worth
checking out.
Very happy costumer"
Had great quality service with ali from the
first second, we were approached with
friendliness. He was very knowledgeable in
what he was explaining about the vehicles.
He also was very clear that he was there to
make us happy on what we needed
exclusively. Asked us on or paying range
and of course was clear on what he could
do for us. He was absolutely on our side on
trying to get us the best deal. If you ever go
there I recommend you ask for ali he will be
patient in answering any questions you
have. Got a truck in one day! thanx carstar

Great details on vehicles
Jan 13, 2015
They were great. Shah my salesman was so honest and easy going.
Great collection of vehicles
Dec 2, 2014
Found a nice Ford Escape online called the dealer they were very
nice on the phone. Shaw emailed and sent me a video of the
vehicle inside and out. I came they showed my son every detail
of the vehicle. Test drive was smooth and paper work was easy
and fast. Shaw was even nice enough to buy my son some lunch.
Very sweet young man. Thank you guys at carstar appreciate
everything. Andrew loves the car.
Oct 19, 2014
Exceptional.
Oct 9, 2014
Wanted dealer closer to home.
Oct 8, 2014
All vehicles I checked the oil
levels were 1-2 qt over filled.
Jun 12, 2014
Quick response, could not agree on price.
Jun 11, 2014
Got back with me quickly but
bought another car before I
went there.
Dec 22, 2012
There was a discrepancy btween yhe dealer reported mileage, and the
Carfax reported mileage. The dealer said it was a CarFax typo and he
would have it corrected in a couple days . Five days later ......no
coreection. I suspect odometer fraud.
Dec 15, 2012
It was a shaddy place. They wouldn't budge on the price. The parking
situation is horrible.
Jul 21, 2012
OK
