A simple Answer TO yOUr Question

Can they charge me for dealer prep on a used car?

Yes, but it's still junk. Used cars need reconditioning (detailing, minor repairs), but that's a cost of doing business—not something they should charge you separately. Push back: "Dealer prep is included in the asking price. Remove the fee or reduce the car price."

Such a wonderful experience with Sean and his team at Vantage Auto Group. Imagine not having to sit at a dealership for several hours. That alone is worth the 5 star review. Add to that how knowledgeable Sean is, how he actually wants to get you the best deal, and how little stress you'll experience throughout the entire process, and 5 stars just aren't enough. I would recommend Vantage Auto Group to anyone!

Had an Amazing experience with Vantage Auto Group & David Alessio! This was the first time using them. I didn’t have a clear Idea of a car we wanted but needed to stay inside a budget. I was referred by a friend to not waste my time with going to multiple dealership to play the negotiating games. David gave us some recommendations, did some pricing and then came back with an amazing find and deal right under budget. 24 hours later they delivered the car, I signed the paperwork & everything was seamless. They returned my old lease and plates to DMV. Door to door service with no hassle or dealership games. Will def use again in the future! Thank you again!

From start to finish, purchasing my new Jeep was seamless and refreshingly honest. Every question was answered clearly with zero pressure, and I really appreciated the straight talk. An easy, smart decision all around.

Sean was just fantastic to work with! We secured our new Volvo lease through him, and he was attentive and friendly every step of the way. He made the experience great and answered any questions we had in a timely manner.

I wish I knew leasing a car could be this easy years ago! I still can’t believe how seamless my experience was with Sean. He was extremely responsive and got me the best price compared to other dealers I had been talking to. The delivery of the car was on the exact day and time I asked for, even though it was a national holiday. I have already referred him to so many of my friends and family. So glad someone referred me to Sean. All the stress that comes with buying/leasing a car is now a thing of the past!
