Review of Mohawk Auto Center in Schenectady NY

I unexpectedly found myself in need of a new vehicle last September, and my daughter suggested I go to Mohawk Auto Center, which is located in Schenectady NY. My daughter is on her 3rd vehicle through Mohawk Auto, as she has traded in and upgraded her vehicles. She really loves this dealership. Mohawk has a great selection of vehicles to choose from, cars, trucks, jeeps, SUVs and vans. They get new vehicles in all the time, the inventory is always changing. You can also visit their website and see all the vehicles they have in stock, and the vehicles are listed with all the info and price of the vehicle.

I did not have a lot of money for a down payment, and my daughter told me they had a good selection of vehicles with only a $500.00 down payment. There are other down payment options available as well. She took me to Mohawk Auto, and I looked at all the vehicles, I chose a 2000 Ford Explorer XLT. This truck is in awesome shape. The body has no rust, the tires were almost brand new, everything works on it, runs excellent, ( I did have one little problem, which I will explain a little later in the review ), it is great on gas, and it does not have any weird quirks. My salesman was very helpful, knowledgeable, and really patient with me. He explained everything in detail when it came to financing, payments etc. He also asked me if I had any questions or concerns, and he answered all my questions completely.

My salesman called me the day after I picked out my truck, and I was approved. I had my truck in 3 days time.

They are a buy here - pay here dealership.

*** Pay weekly, bi-weekly or monthly, right at the dealership.

*** All vehicles come with a 30 day Warranty, you can get an extended Warranty, but I am not sure of the cost, as I don't have it.

*** The girls in customer service are nice and friendly, and helpful. The payment receipt has all the info you need on it, plus your next payment date.

*** The guys in the service department are great, and assist you with all your car care needs. All the vehicles are totally cleaned and inspected before they leave the lot. They will help you with all you car care concerns and questions.
About three weeks after I got my truck I went to the service department to ask them what a couple of knobs with no writing or picture on them did. They gladly looked at them and told me what feature they controlled.

A few perks at Mohawk Auto center:

*** If you make all your payments for 6 months on time, you will get a free week, which means you do not have to make a payment! That includes every 6 months until your vehicle is paid for.

**** Every time you refer someone to Mohawk Auto, and they use your name, Mohawk will give you $50.00 ! So far my daughter has gotten $150.00 for her referrals.

**** Okay I want to mention a little something about Repo here, This is for people with bad credit or no credit. So for the most part they don't come get your vehicle. What they do with you is when you get your vehicle they give you a little device with numbers on it, and every time you make a payment they give you a code to punch into the device, according to how many weeks you have paid for, ( this is for people with bad credit ). You aim the device under the drivers dashboard. If you can't get out to them by your payment day and it is the weekend, there is an emergency code that you can use. Otherwise you won't be able to drive your vehicle. Also there is a drop box for payments made after hours and on the weekends.

I mentioned earlier that I had a minor problem with my truck, the check engine light had come on, so I brought it in to have it fixed without an appointment, as I was there making a payment, and they let me wait for my truck to be fixed, as the dealership is not really close to my home, and I would not have transportation home. Oh by the way, my 30 day warranty had expired 2 days earlier, and they did not charge me for the work that was done on my truck, as they had to replace" 2, " O2 sensors. If I paid out of pocket it was like $375.00. So I was really happy they helped me out.

I am very happy with Mohawk Auto and love doing business with them! If and when I decide I need a new vehicle or just want to upgrade the one I have, I will definitely deal with Mohawk Auto!

They really work with you, they help put you into a vehicle that you can afford. I pay under $300.00 a month for my Ford Explorer and it fits nicely into my budget. I can't ask for a better deal.
