Rhoades Automotive in
Columbia City (IN)

They did great work detailing my Pilot!!!

Stop by and check out the Rhoades Automotive Team there are #1 team with friendly/fast service. Bought my Honda CRV 5 years ago from Lamont , and James and his crew have been servicing my auto ever since.Very reasonable to.Thanks again!?

This is an excellent dealership. Inventory isn't large, but what they have is quality and good business ethics! I highly recommend Rhoades Automotive. With a service center just across the street, they'll get you rolling in something nice that fits your needs!

We had so many electrical issues, and the masters at Rhodes was honest, quick, and great to work with. I appreciate the easy fix we were baffled on, and you didn’t take advantage of us. Thank you so much! I highly recommend them for service on your car!!

Purchased a Ford Ranger in July. Was told by the salesman, and these are his words: "This truck is PERFECT except for some rust" and he went to great lengths to tell us that he knew the history of the truck, it's prior owner etc etc. The day after we purchased it we found out that the 4WD didn't work, the check engine light came, the O/D Off light and one other error light came on. It is highly unlikely, at least in my mind, that one day after purchase all four of those sensors failed if those codes didn't exist beforehand. It seems far more likely that the codes were cleared hoping that someone would purchase the truck "As is" and then not notice the lights until it was too late. When I contacted them they begrudgingly agreed to evaluate the error codes and we took the truck back to their service bay. They fixed several things and we paid for half of the repairs. Again, these are all error codes that magically appeared one day after we took ownership. A month later the truck died, just shut off, in the middle of a busy intersection with my son driving and his brother in the passenger seat. Back to their service shop the truck went. Now, four months after purchase the transmission has failed and I'm going to have to pay more than $3000 to have it repaired/replaced. And there is some reason to believe that the O/D off light flashing could have been an indicator of some larger issue in the drivetrain. I didn't know this at the time because I'm not a mechanic but they acted as though it was no big deal. Seems like a lot of failures for a truck that is "Perfect except for some rust" and every time I've pointed out these errors I've been essentially blown off. I understand that when you buy a used car you assume risk but you would hope to get more than four months out of an almost $10k car before a catastrophic failure occurs. Or, at the very least, maybe don't tell people that the vehicle is a shining gem when there is plenty of reason to believe that they knew that it wasn't. **Update** Once the transmission and torque converter were replaced, ALL of the dash lights went off. That means that the check engine light and the O/D off light were both related to the transmission or torque converter. That also means that if they had connected an ODB/2 reader like they said they did and checked the error codes, as they said they did, there is no way that they wouldn't have seen that there were transmission issues. So either they saw the error codes, cleared them and ignored them or they never checked the codes in the first place.

In 2013 we used Rhoades Automotive car finding service to get the exact SUV our family needed. Rhoades Automotive has provided service for that SUV the entire time we have owned it. Fair pricing and the staff doesn't give you the run around. If you do not want to utilize Rhoades Automotive car finding service, they keep great used cars on the lot. We just bought a 2000 Porche Boxter off the lot. The car is in excellent condition and a blast to drive. We got a great price too. We will continue to use Rhoades Automotive for service and our next used car.

I really feel comfortable with taking my little Juke to Rhoades Automotive. I have used their service's a couple of time and never felt let down. The cost is great along side of Friendly and efficient.

Have had my cars in 4 different times with different issues and have been satisfied every time. They are fair and Jim at the service desk is knowledgeable and friendly. Will recommend them to anybody. Richard

Excellent service! I was in a bind and needed my car looked at right away. They were able to work me in. Very knowledgeable and and explained everything in layman terms. Will be using them from now on.

Second Ford Edge they have found for us with everything we wanted and a great price! We won't buy from anyone else . They are friendly, trustworthy, and dependable.

Really nice staff and no pressure on buying. Nice vehicles. Prices have went up though. Other than that great place to go with plenty vehicles to choose from.

I purchased my SUV from Rhoades. I knew what I wanted and what color. I told them there was really no hurry to find one since they didn't have what I wanted on their lot..within a week they found the SUV I wanted. I have had it for 6 years and have had little trouble with it...I take it to them for general maintenance, oil changes, etc. When I am ready to trade I will definitely go back to Rhoades.

Robert Salesman is one of the most trustworthy salesman you can do business with. I have known Robert for years and I highly recommend seeing him at Rhoades Automotive. Yes Salesman is his real last name.

Great selection Fair pricing Have known Robert for several years Service area is very good??

My Daughter was having a really hard time finding a dealership that would be willing and able put the time and money into a car they are trying to sell. At Rhoades Automotive they go the extra mile to make sure the vehicle you’re gonna buy is in the best shape it can possibly be in and the customer service is great, I can’t say enough good things about them great job!!! When you leave there with one of their cars you know it’s a good car.????????

I'm a firm believer that reviews are warrantied where deserved. I recently had the opportunity of working with Lamont, the owner, and dealerships and business of his caliber are far and few between. He was open, honest and extremely transparent about what he was offering for sale. There were no smoke and mirrors here like at a typical dealership. Our conversation was professionally pleasant. I would highly recommend Rhoades Automotive to anyone looking for a hassle free experience. Best wishes!

I went awhile ago and had great service since then but the last 2 times ive taken my car in I've not been happy. I had to have my car towed back to them after something they didnt tighten down came apart disabling my vehicle on my way to work. Making me miss a day of work. My husband recently took my car in giving them another chance and when the mechanic called me I asked if what they were telling me was everything wrong with my car because I wanted everything fixed. He said yea I then said what about the light and what about the noise ? Oh well uh what does the noise sound like he asked, well you should know if you drove it. Long story short I picked my car up after hundreds of dollars and it drove the same it did before. They did fix the leak but I don't feel the other stuff was fixed. I dont think they charged me for anything orher than the stuff they actually did do but i did ask for the noise to be diagnosed and fixed and anything else.I did not take it back or even call them because they didnt do anything when I had my car towed I wasnt wasting my time with them any more. Unfortunately I wont use them again but i do hope others have better experience. 06/11/2019 we now are having to put the car in another shop since the noise has gotten a lot worse.

?? TELL U THERE GONNA DO SOMETHING AND THEN NEVER DOES NEVER CALLS BACK WHEN SAID THERE GONNA Watch there gonna respond with something like O u gave us the wrong # or Ur voicemail wasn't set up witch it is or wrong this or that witch isn't lol Even tho I gave u my phone # 3 times in 1 week lol. ??? It's whatever you lost a customer GTFOH ??????✌?

My experience at Rhoades was exceptional. My needs were very specific, and Rhoades more than delivered. I’ve purchased several vehicles and this experience was by far the lowest pressure and most personal that I’ve ever had. Rhoades cares about its customers and truly treats them like family.

I have bought 3 cars from Rhoades and I won't go anywhere else for future used cars. Top quality used cars at a fair price.

Done good by me so far. Fair prices and good service.

Honest and friendly. When I bought my used vehicle I didn't notice the heater wasn't working properly. As one of the techs was finishing an oil change he noticed it. It was fixed free of charge, along with other small repairs. I think I'll be going to their service area for further repairs I can't handle, just because of the honesty. And I'm sure further vehicle purchases will happen there.

Rhoades has great cars with low mileage and is fair to deal with.

Fair prices. Friendly service and honest quotes for repairs. You can even place a custom order for your new vehicle.

Lamont the owner offers great service. His staff are an added bonus. If you are looking for quality and an honest deal look no further. I will be going back to purchase my next car.

Lamonte and his staff were and are very helpful! Listened to exactly what I wanted and steered me in the right direction, love my new car. Would highly recommend Rhoades to anyone I the market!

would highly recommend! i told them exactly what i wanted and they got it for me and its in amazing condition, might take some time to find it but well worth the wait. Also gave me a fair price for my trade in. Good communication as well.
