Don’t ever buy a car from here. They sold my brother a 2017 with low miles about a month ago. He’s had so many problems and now his transmission went out. If I could give them a zero stars I would. My advice would be to never buy a car here!!

Nice people, great service. I've bought a couple vehicles from Cartiva and highly recommend them. If you're looking to buy or sell a used vehicle this is a great place to do business.

Patrick and his brother provided me a great car buying experience. It was my first time buying a car and I had been to many dealerships but it was clear to me from my first conversation with Patrick that he was extremely knowledgeable about what he was talking about and also very honest with the imperfections of the vehicles he was trying to sell. He would rather talk you out of a car by being too honest then trick you by talking you into one and I respect that. His prices were very fair and the process was seamless. Would definitely recommend to any of my friends in the area. Thank you for the great service!

I just purchased my Kia from Cartiva!! I am very happy with this purchase. Patrick was very helpful. I would 100% buy my next car here if I'm in Minnesota!

Charlie and Pat were awesome. We were in desperate need of a quality vehicle, and Cartiva essentially took the shirt off their backs to provide us an amazing ride. Cartiva equals quality, integrity, & service before self!

Literally the best place to buy a car. We were looking for a first car for our 17 year old. We were put off by other city dealerships by the pushy salesman and the feeling of being obligated to buy before we even test drove. We decided to look outside city limits (19 miles away) and I'm so happy we did. We found a 2012 hyundai santa fe gls with low miles and decided to take the drive to see it after speaking with Patrick and getting the basic info and carfax details. We realized the key fobs were missing but even before seeing the car Patrick called the dealership and had them ordered along with a new tail light that got water inside. When we arrived later that night Patrick was welcoming and showed us the car. He was respectful and gave us space to freely look over the car. He gave us truthful info on the car and was very upfront with the slight scratches etc. We knew not to expect perfect for a 9 year old car but it was the fact he was forth coming and we didn't feel he was "hiding" anything from us or "talking up the car". We test drove and when we came back we looked over the car again and tested out the Bluetooth connect and Patrick helped us out since we couldn't figure it out (new feature for us but was a must have with a teen). Ultimately it was our sons decision and once again Patrick was respectful in giving us space as a family to decide and talk it through and if it was in budget. Making the decision to buy involved alot of different factors: the cars condition (being 9 years old I'd rate it as very good), how the car ran (like new for its age), how we were treated (with respect & dignity), within the family budget, dealer knowledge of the car (he knew alot but quickly found answers if he didn't), extended warranty info was clearly explained, One family issue we have was my husband has a drivers license (I only have a permit) and my son currently has a permit so figuring out how after buying the car how to get it home. We only currently have a large carge van which is just too big for our son to learn in and it makes him nervous to drive this was why we needed another car. Patrick knowing this offered to deliver to car to us once the new key fobs were programed solving our how to get it home issue. Patrick was also very patient with our son making his first car buying experience less stressful and confusing. He went above and beyond making my son feel included. Very impressed and very grateful for the service we received. My son is looking forward to learning to drive in his own car and the lasting memories that he was a part of all this process from the beginning. We will be back when its time for another vehicle but in the meantime we will be recommending Cartiva to anyone who's looking for a vehicle. Thank you so much Cartiva for everything you did for us!

Over the years, we have purchase 5 vehicles from these people. Having a great experience with each car, we wouldn't buy anywhere else. Their after purchase care was remarkable. Believe you me, my wife is very fussy, but feels the same way.

We’ve purchased a couple cars from this dealership and have never been let down. The salesmen were upfront and honest. No disappointments at all.

The. Best. People. I bought a used truck and a used van this week. Definitely not the stereotype used car salesman. Vehicles in great shape, honest and transparent conversation, really fair prices. I've been looking for a long time and was thrilled to find both my vehicles on one place. Can't say enough. If I ever need another car will start my search at Cartiva.

2012 Dodge Avenger SE (BEWARE DO NOT BUY THIS CAR) So disappointed. Do not buy from this small dealership. My husband and I are looking for a used car for our daughter who will be driving soon. We spoke with Charlie on Friday, he went on to tell us that he only sells good cars on his lot and his been selling for 20+ years. Seemed honest and ethical, but we were wrong. We test drove the vehicle and heard rattling in the front end. Today 1/27/2020 we took the vehicle to our mechanic to get the car checked out because we were very interested. The mechanic told us the car is not worth the amount of repairs that is needed. No joke, these are the issues they found! Belt tensioner pulley out of alignment Air box tab is broken Front crank seal is leaking Front timing cover is leaking Right front axle seal is leaking Front tires are 0/32 on the inside Front sway bar links are making noise and not installed properly Hood rod retainer is missing Passenger window wash nozzle is broken To quote our mechanic "Something is not right with this car, I would not buy it." So, we went back to Cartiva with repairs report and Charlie's response was unbelievable. He told us, "This does not surprise me. What do you expect from a car that has 137,000 and is a 2012? He also said, I don't put money into cars for repairs that are around $5000!" I expect honesty! I was shocked that he said all of this because he told us he only sells "good cars." I explained to him how honesty is so important and how disappointed we were. Nowhere is it posted that this vehicle has all these problems. He is asking "Clean Retail Value" of $4901 for this vehicle. It needs about $1,000 worth of repairs. This should NOT have been listed as clean retail, nowhere did it say anything about mechanical issues. BEWARE BUYERS. At the least, have a trusted mechanic look at all used vehicles before you purchase.

I highly recommend Cartiva. They are honest and straightforward, knowledge, and friendly. I recently had to purchase a vehicle on very short notice. Patrick was very helpful and answered all the questions that I had. I never once felt pushed to buy the vehicle I was interesed in. He informed me of any service history his company had done or other items he knew had been done. To that point he allowed me to bring the vehicle to a third-party mechanic who agreed the car was a solid purchas . He also made the rest of the buying process very stress-free and transparent. The vehicle price was an excellent bargain. I would feel very comfortable returning here and highly recommend them.

Just Purchased our fourth car from this place.....Have always been pleased with the buying experience here. "Da Boys" have never been pushy and have allowed us to take the vehicle we were interested in to our mechanic. After the purchase, if there was an issue, it was resolved to our satisfaction. Easy going and and pleasant to deal with, the guys keep their word. It all must work for them, because here we are driving away in my wife's new (To us) car.

I bought a 2003 Honda CR-V here recently and had a great experience. Charlie kept in touch with me with regards to availability of the vehicle and I really appreciate him taking the time to do that. I would recommend buying from Cartiva.
