Godwin Motors

A 2-star review because we don’t finance vehicles under $5,000? That’s a little wild. To be clear, almost nobody finances $5,000 vehicles anymore. That’s not a “Godwin Motors rule,” that’s just the reality of the car business in 2026.

The average used car price nationwide is around $26,000, and many customers put $5,000 down as a down payment — not as the entire vehicle price.

Financing requires a vehicle that meets lender guidelines, value requirements, and minimum loan amounts. A car under $5,000 simply doesn’t qualify for most programs a

So let’s get this straight—you gave us a one-star review (and said you wanted to give us less than one star) because… we’re not open on Saturdays? Really? That’s what qualifies as “terrible service” these days?

We haven’t been open on Saturdays since 2020. Our employees deserve time with their families—kids have ball games on Saturdays, families go to church on Sundays. That’s called work-life balance. Crazy, right?

Our site says “by appointment on Saturday”—and that’s not a guarantee, it’s a court

Our site says “by appointment on Saturday”—and that’s not a guarantee, it’s a courtesy. Our salesperson even asked you several times to work with them on finding a time. You refused. And somehow that makes us the bad guy?

Let’s be honest: giving a dealership a 1-star rating because they aren’t open on your preferred day is ridiculous. Do you also give Chick-fil-A one star for being closed on Sundays? Would you expect us to show up at your job after hours because it’s more convenient for us?

At the end of the day, we’ll be fine without a customer who thinks respecting our team’s personal lives is worth “zero stars.” Thousands of happy customers over 40+ years would probably disagree with you anyway.

We’re sorry to hear about your frustration and that your recent experience didn’t live up to the many positive ones you and your family have had with us over the years.

It’s true that we’ve had to make changes in our financing options and staffing levels. These adjustments were not a shift in our values, but a reality of today’s market and resources. We still pride ourselves on treating customers with fairness and integrity, but with fewer team members, we aren’t always able to answer calls as quickly as we’d like, and we know that can be frustratin

A one-star review suggests dishonesty or poor treatment, which we don’t believe is the case here. The truth is that our way of doing business has had to evolve, and while it may not look exactly like it did when you purchased your previous vehicles, our core values have not changed.

We appreciate your past business and hope you’ll give us the chance to earn your trust again. Less ...
