We had a great experience with Ericson Auto! I had been having car trouble for the past few days and my Toyota Camry recently started dying at stop lights. I needed my car repaired in a timely manner due to working in Ames on an evening shift and I was worried of stalling on the interstate late at night. Dayton had my car fixed within hours of calling and was so easy to work with. He explained what he was fixing and the reason for it in a way that was easy for me to understand. He went above and beyond and made my car run like new! Great customer service and reasonable prices!

I bought a Nissan Maxima from him and got completely screwed. The car stopped working the second day. A/C was working fine during the test drive did not work after the second day.

The dealer is a complete cheater. He did not support me with any of the problem and started talking bad with me. Very rude person and very hard to deal with.

Some tips for the buyer (if you are still planning to make a visit to this dealer despite my heads-up):

1. Know that this dealer buys problematic cars and sells them at high price. Therefore, you should be careful.

2. Generally, in Iowa, the demand for a good car is very high. In my experience, any good car in Iowa gets sold within 2 or 3 days, sometimes even in 5-6 hours. If the dealer has the advertisement of the car on his website for more than 5 days, it is a strong indicator that the car has a lot of problems. This particular dealer usually has his car lying there for months.

3. Always perform thorough mechanical test, even if it costs more than usual. You will be at lesser risk.

4. Try to pull out the carfax report too, as you can see on the comments that this dealer does not like talking about previous accidents on the car.

I hope you don't get screwed over by this dealer.

Have used him for a couple of years now for basic maintanence and bought an air compressor of him. I'm an army veteran and he is as well. I' describe him as honest and trustworthy. He'll give it to you straight without BS'ing you. He at times told me info I didn't want to hear about my vehicles but was right, honest, and reasonable with the prices. Definitely cheaper than most other places. Plus, I'm a loyal veteran and respect other vets. Especially those who don't sugar coat news r try and BS me. I've grown to respect him and don't even haggle with him anymore because he's worked with me and has gained my trust. Bottom line is with him your money is helping a trustworthy American vet who is a positive part of the community.

Erickson auto helped me out when I needed help the most and set me up with a new tire and polished my rim. Great place to also buy used vehicles for friends and family!!

Didn't even buy the car from this man, just called to inquire about a vehicle my husband asked what accident the car had been in because the website that we searched on through cars guru stated that there was one accident reported, so my husband asked and The dealer stated well it's "2500 bucks what do you expect" but then wanted to know where we got our information and how we knew that it was in an accident so my husband explain to him that it was on the website that there had been an accident reported. My husband expressed that he was very rude and he came back saying "well you're kind of accusing of the worst"  again my husband said no I was just trying to find out what kind of accident that it had been in since it had been reported that there was one.  And he still did not tell us what kind of accident the vehicle was in. Very rude was willing to pay cash on anything under $3000 yes this was a cheap vehicle for 2500 we expect that there may be an accident so we were just inquiring about what kind of accident. We would never ever do business with this individual and I highly recommend no one else does.
