The Kia I was interested in had just been sold but Richard helped me find a Hyundai Tuscon that was perfect for me. Mileage was great, price was very fair. 100% would recommend and would stop here first if looking for another vehicle in the future.

I asked the a specific on the car and the person emailed me in all CAPS “IF YOU WANT TO SEEN IT WHY DONT YOU COME HERE” completely rude. Hard pass!!

Great

One of the best experiences when buying a car. Richard G was great to work with
King Richards is the best dealership Iâve dealt with in Rhode Island. They provided
me exceptional customer service and made me feel like family! I would
recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a great deal. Richard is the best
sales man Iâve dealt with. I would give them 6 stars if there was an option!

Dealer was helpful but the car was too small.
Once I submitted my inquiry I was contacted immediately the following morning. Rich always got back to me quickly or picked up the phone to answer my questions. I was a little skeptical based off some of the negative reviews I read but I decided to take a ride up to check out the car. I was assured over the phone how clean the car was and when I arrived it was out front ready to be test driven per my request. The car was everything that was described based off the pictures and phone conversations. A quick hour later the deal was done and I was driving home. I’ve dealt with a lot of shady used car dealers but King Richards is not one of them. They went above and beyond for me even though they were short handed on the particular day. I’d been looking for this particular car for a while and was pleasantly surprised how well this one presented. I will definitely be using them for my next fun car and I will be recommending King Richards to my friends as well. Disregard the negative reviews

This is the second time Cargurus assisted in finding vehicles and subsequent purchases.
King Richard's Auto Center offered a friendly buying experience. No high pressure...down to earth car buying!
Our salesperson Lou was very knowledgeable; demonstrating his many years of experience in the automobile industry. He was upfront about the used vehicle and handled the sale with professionalism and integrity!

Jan 22, 2021
Been driving the car for about 5 days. So far so good and I am currently very pleased with the vehicle. Louie was a doll. Called me back after inquiry. Not pushy or anything. They are taking care of everything for me. No wiggle room on price. Overall, will be back and am satisfied. Thanks guys!

Checked car gurus again. Car sold. Salesman never bothered to call, txt, or email me back. Definitely would NOT waste my tome dealkk in my with them again.

Great follow up
A+++++++++++++
Sales Representative Jay provided me with exceptional customer service excellence!
I purchased my first BMW at King Richard’s Auto!
Their vehicles are pristine as well as their reputation!
My transaction was seamless!
Being in the business of sales myself, I have a strong work ethic and knowledge of details. I was extremely impressed with the outstanding service of Jay and F&I Manager Armando! I informed Richard, the owner of my great experience from his hustling employees to get the job done!
A+++++++++++++ across the board!
I was helped by Amandio Gomes throughout the whole buying process. I was in a tough financial spot and he was able to get me financing with a great rate for someone with little credit history and a not so good credit score. That was after being turned away at two other dealerships. He was also very patient with me when I was indecisive about which car I wanted to purchase. This was my first time financing a car and he made a it a great experience!

They did not respond to emails but once I called, they were great to work with.
Jul 16, 2020
very good services
Salesman was nice until he discovered it might take some work to get me approved.Owner is extremely pushy,a bully to be honest.I had put money down on a vehicle and it took 5 days for them to credit my account back.Aggressive with phone calls after I decided not to purchase the vehicle.I did get the loan approval but the owner’s behavior towards me,talking to me like I was ignorant,made me decide not to buy from them.I gave 2 stars because the loan approval was quick and I was treated very kindly when I first arrived.After that it was all downhill.Horrible experience.
Sep 29, 2019
Car had noise starting up, waste of a trip to get there and not be able to drive it.
Salesman was alone and wouldn’t allow the car to be test driven unless he went, since he was alone-we would have to wait until the other worker came in
Sep 23, 2019
Eric was fantastic. Went above his call of duty. Very pleased with my purchase.
Sep 21, 2019
Maybe a one-off but thought it was highly unprofessional. I arrived, test drove the car, and negotiated a sale price. Come time sign the PS, I was told by the manager that they didn't not have possession of title of the vehicle and could not sell me the vehicle. Highly suspicious of the circumstances, but it was a vehicle I had been searching for a while. So I told them to call me when they've cleared up the issue. Even placed a deposit to hold. A week later, they called to refund my deposit. Fine. Still, call me as soon as its ready. Next week, called to check status. Again, same issue with no details available. I stopped calling. After about a month and a half later, the car was listed as sold. I was never contacted again. Whatever reasons they had for not completing the sale with me, fine. But at least be transparent. I will never do business with these folks again.

Amazing! I was able to apply for financing over the phone. Once I was approved I put a deposit on the
car. I am a very busy person with 3 kids and a business to run, they were very helpful and
understanding of my limited time. When I went to pick up the car, it was gassed and ready for a test
drive. I signed paperwork and gave them the down payment. Very simple and easy! never in my life
have i dealt with such an easy transaction! I will purchase from them again.

Quick response, waited past close to answer any questions I had. Still trying to decide what to buy. Will go back to see the car again if still available when the time is right.
I was able to get an appointment quickly but the car had non working features that shouldn’t have been advertised (bluetooth, cigarette lighters)
Oct 13, 2018
Response from current dealership:
Krista, the vehicle you inquired about and was shown was equipped with Bluetooth phone prep, as advertised. Not sure about the lighter concern but we can surely address that if you'd like.
junk.. bad transmission... hard shift and down shift into second... was
told it was a stong v8 thats why it did that ... sales kid was excellent ..they
said i could take as is for 4500
Sep 11, 2018
Response from current dealership:
Appreciate the review but at the end of the day, you didn't purchase the vehicle and more importantly, we quoted you that AS IS pricing, which was thousands less then what it was advertised for without us fixing it.
Unfortunately the vehicle sold before I was able to get there but I received quick responses to all my questions.
I’d Would be willing to do business with them in the future.
