Atlas Motors LLC stands out among used car dealerships in Portland for its solid reputation in the community, having been around for over 23 years.

They offer a wide inventory with over 150 vehicles across two city blocks. They have cars, trucks, and SUVs from popular brands like Toyota, Ford, and Honda.

Financing is another area where they shine. Atlas Motors is all about helping you find the right financing options that work for your situation. They really focus on making it a personal experience, unlike some places that might feel a bit cookie-cutter.

However, one of the customers we’ve talked to mentioned that he struggled after trading in their car for a Honda, as they didn’t remove the old car from their name. This led to insurance issues and a tow yard bill. 

The most amazing customer service experience I’ve ever had

“Luis truly gave the most amazing Customer Service experience I’ve ever had. I spent years in sales myself and to be treated so well was an inspiration to commit to future business. I appreciate all the hard work they did as a team effort with Luis and Alex was like a breath of fresh air after dealing with so many car lots and so many banks and so many failing to call us back however at Atlas they absolutely consistently returned calls quickly which was the biggest surprise thank you Luis for our amazing 2015 ford F250 quad cab 6.7 L beautiful truck.”

Genuine and helpful staff

“Honestly, everyone there just makes sure you are being taken and you don’t need anything, not in the pushy trying to go by their own agenda way but genuinely doing all they can do to earn your business. I went down the street to look at another vehicle on another lot after going here and left that place in under 5 minutes because how the people were already pushing me towards something I didn’t want. Atlas Motors and especially Alex and Johnathan from Atlas have won our business and our recommendation for business to friends. This is a business and people who took great care of us, kept us at our price point and made sure we had all the time and information needed to make a decision.”

If you’re on the hunt for late-model German cars, Freeman Motor Showroom is the place to go. We were impressed by their Porsche selection, including models like the Macan—ideal for those seeking high-performance luxury SUVs.

They offer a wide range of services beyond just sales. They offer full-service maintenance and have a repair shop staffed by ASE-certified technicians. They also provide detailing services to keep your car looking sharp.

The friendly and knowledgeable staff create a no-pressure buying environment, which is a refreshing change from typical dealerships.

With over 34 years in the industry and accolades like “Best Oregon Dealer of the Year,” they clearly prioritize customer satisfaction and excellence in service. 

Just a heads up: some vehicles advertised on their website weren’t available when we visited the dealership.

Best car buying experience ever

“Best car buying experience ever.  Brendan, David, and Colby all provided over the top customer service.  No hidden fees or charges.  No upselling.  Simply met my needs with 100% satisfaction.  Moving forward, I plan to buy all my vehicles from Freeman Motors.  Thank you for making the car buying experience fun vs painful.”

Such a relaxing and stress-free experience with them

“I’d like to thank both Lorraine and Brendon for making the car buying experience for me and my son both relaxing and stress free.  My son was looking for a decent used vehicle and we made our first stop at Freeman Motor Showroom.  Our plan was to spend a few days out shopping for a reliable used vehicle and once we landed at Freeman Motor Showroom there was no need to go anywhere else. There was no car buying pressure or intense negotiations from either Lorraine or Brendon and they made the total car buying experience both enjoyable and relaxing.  Brendon and Lorraine along with the Freeman Motor finance agent were all very helpful and courteous throughout the process and my son was very happy to leave with his awesome Volkswagen 2.0 Tiguan.  I highly recommend Freeman Motor Company for your car buying experience.  Curtis and Christopher Wilson”

IASPDX has a killer selection of vehicles, including some hard-to-find models and unique Japanese imports that you won’t see at most local dealerships, like Subaru.

Financing is also super flexible here. They’ve got various options to fit different credit situations and work with multiple lenders to score you the best rates. 

Plus, if you’re looking to trade in your old ride, they offer competitive values that make upgrading easier.

If you’re eco-conscious, you’ll find hybrids and electric vehicles from Toyota and Nissan that cater to green buyers. 

However, some customers we talked to mentioned that they had minor issues with the cleanliness and overall condition of the cars sold.

Got an amazing deal for my first Benz

“If you’re looking for a vehicle, Damon & Jake are your go to! They both were so kind & helpful when my husband & I came in to look for a car. They helped us get an amazing deal & answered every question we had. They helped me get my first Benz”

JD Motors is on this list thanks to their customer-first philosophy. Beyond the positive customer reviews, we can personally vouch for their commitment to honesty and transparency. 

They offer detailed information about vehicle specifications and financing options, all without any hidden fees.

When it comes to their inventory, JD Motors is all about quality. They hand-pick only the best-used cars in Portland. You’ll find a nice mix of vehicles there, like the 2017 Audi A4, the 2014 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and the 2016 Porsche Panamera. 

They also offer a bunch of helpful services to make the buying process smoother. They provide fair trade-in evaluations and offer warranty plans for peace of mind after your purchase.

Although many reviews praise the low-pressure sales approach, we felt that there was still an underlying pressure to make a decision quickly. That made us uncomfortable when we were visiting them.

Driving to Portland for them was worth it

“I recently bought a vehicle from them. I flew into Portland to pick up the vehicle, with the intent to drive home as soon as I could. I had been working with Anto, he picked me up at the airport with the car I planned on buying. I used the drive back to their business as a test drive. When we got there they had everything ready to work through the purchase as smoothly as possible. I was pleased with how they represented the car, how forthright they were with me about any potential issues they had found and overall how they respected my time and efforts to get the car and get down the road. I was very pleased with the service they provided and will gladly look to them again for any further vehicle purchases.”

Very honest and upfront, thank you!

“Came to JD Motors for a car and Anto helped me find a perfect SUV. Honest people and a family run business. Anto was honest and upfront with me. Never had a dealership treat me like JD Motors has. Definitely recommend this dealership if you’re looking to purchase a reliable vehicle. Thank you JD Motors for my ML, very happy with my purchase and would definitely be back for my next vehicle. Also thank you for the amazing customer service and care.”

North Port Motors really knows its stuff when it comes to cars, especially European brands like Volvo, BMW, and Mercedes. They also have a solid selection of popular Japanese models from Toyota and Honda.

When it comes to quality, they’re all about thorough inspections. Before any car hits the lot, they make sure it meets high standards. 

We also appreciate how the staff takes the time to understand what you need and what fits your budget, making the whole car-buying process a lot smoother.

While our experience here was great, we interviewed a customer who was in a different situation. He mentioned that despite multiple attempts to reach out to North Port Motors about a vehicle, he didn’t get a response until the car had already been sold.

Gave me accurate details of the vehicles

“Dan was great, he was also very accurate with the vehicle details and did not try to over represent. When the shipping company dropped it off, I was impressed with condition since there are always some items that could disappoint the buyer if not disclosed but nothing with the FJ. I highly recommend Dan and his shop.”

Will definitely be back with my wife soon!

“Had a wonderful experience buying my 2016 Toyota Tacoma TRD. Dan was very helpful and insightful during the whole process start to finish. At north port motors I clearly saw they prioritized my satisfaction and treated me like family. I will definitely be back when my wife will be upgrading her car!”
