I decided to go here cause I went to a few other places that said guaranteed to get everyone financed and lied to me. I called these cats and told them my situation and they said they would be able to help me. My past is pretty bad due to a couple bad jobs so my credit is horrible. I just picked up my 2013 Ford Explorer yesterday and I'm loving it. Don't fall for the other dealers BS about guaranteed you will get a car. This is the only place that really took the time to help me..

Don't be fooled by the places that say everyone approved. Southside Motors was the only car lot with decent vehicles that was willing to help me. I got a 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee with only 68,000 miles with a 2 year warranty. This place doesn't even do a credit check and you don't need to prove your income. I have had my Jeep for almost a year and haven't had any problems. Another year and it will be paid off because the Rent To Own program is only a 2 year term.... I love these guys..

Southside motors has been a life saver for me. I recently went to a divorce and lost everything I've worked for my entire life. As I was starting to get on my feet I gave them a call and explained to them my situation. They were so nice and understanding, so the next day I went in and sat down with the owner Guy and I told him I only had $2500 and didn't want something that was going to break down all of the time. To my surprise I was able to get a nice four wheel drive trail blazer with only 72,000 miles on it and a low payment with a great 2 year warranty. I've only had one issue with the vehicle which was a small sensor which they had actually fixed for me. I HIGHLY recommend Southside Motors! Thanks!

I read all these reviews on here and have to say that 98% of them are true. My father and I went here because after my divorce my credit went down hill. We were amazed at how many vehicles they had and that they didn't have over 100,000 miles on them. Every other car lot we went to that helped people with bad cedit had cars with over 100,000 miles on them. The vehicles we looked at all had newer inspections and were newer. We are so impressed with this place that we made up a little advertisement for our church members to see. When we told Southside Motors about advertiseing at our church they said that if anybody comes in and says they saw the advertisement at the church that they would donate $100 if they buy a car. So far 2 other people from our church bought cars from them and they sent the church $200. These people are so different from the other car lots we went to. Save yourself a lot of time and frustration and just go to Southside Motors first...

I just got my second vehicle here last week. I bought my first one about 21/2 years ago and was so pleased with the way they helped me with the rent to own finance deal they have I decided to go back to them. I got a 06 Chevy Cobalt the first time and really didn't have any problems with it. The rent to own finance is only a 21/2 year term and after you make the payments you own it. I did have to pay around $200.00 to transfer the car into my name but heck I paid that with no problem. I gave this car to my girlfriend and went back in and told them I wanted to get a SUV this time. I ended up getting a 2007 Chevy Trailblazer. Now I know I'm paying more then if I could do reguar finance but I tried to get a car financed from 4 different places and they all told me they couldn't help me. I think I ended up paying about $1500.00 more but when you consider the fact that you get a 2 year warranty with it and the payment includes tax and everything. I'm pretty sure this is the only place in the Pittsburgh area that does the rent to own finance with no credit checks. This place has nice vehicles and decent miles on them and nothing over 100,000 miles on them. Most of the ones I looked at were around 50,000 to 70,000 miles on them. I would say if your having trouble getting a nice car or suv because of credit problems you should give this place a try.

I always take time to investigate a business before making a big purchase. I think I read 20 sum reviews on Southside Motors and could only find 2 bad reviews. I decided that after reading how this place helps so many people that this is the place I want to buy from. I stopped on a Sunday afternoon because I work all week and on Saturdays. I figured I would see what kind of cars they had and go in over my Christmas vacation. When I pulled into the lot there was someone coming out the door and he came over and said hello to me and ask if I had any questions. I told him I didn't want to bother him on Christmas Eve. It ended up being one of the owners and when he saw that me car had a bad inspection sticker he said that he didn't want me to get a ticket and he would help get a new car even though they were closed. This guy dropped what he was doing and spent a hour with me until I found the car I wanted to get. Ohhhh!!!! I did ask him about the bad review and he told me that the person was using there car as a taxi service and 3 different times did not have car insurance. After he told me about them using it for a taxi service I realized it was my EX brother in law because he got a car from this place also. I can tell you that Southside Motors worked with him on several occasions to get insurance and he never did. I know for a fact that he used the warranty 2 times and had no problems. One time after he had the car for 8 months the transmission went bad and the warranty paid for it and the next time after he put 14,000 miles on it the power sterring pump went bad and the warranty company paid for that to. Trust I know him and I'm glad he is my EX brother in law. Don't believe the scum ball this place is great and they really do want to help you. Not like most car places.

At first I thought it was to good to be true when I saw the television commercial. I ended up going down and checking them out and I'm glad I did because these folks are great and really took the time to work with me. I will say after reading the other reviews on here that this place is for real and if your at a bad spot in your life and need a little help you should check them out. I give this place 6 stars..

I wish I went here before driving all around to 3 different places because they say you only have to put $499.00 down and they guarantee credit approval. The one place wanted me to get a 1999 Ford Taurus with 110,000 miles on it and put $499.00 plus tax and tags down witch would be roughly $1500.00 down. Then they wanted me to make 48 payments of $300.00 a month. I would have to be a fool to do that. I finally went to Southside Motors and found a 2005 Chevy Cobalt with 69,000 miles on it with only $2000.00 down and I got a 2 year 24,000 mile warranty. This place didn't even do a credit check and I was in and out in about 45 minutes. I swear I sat at Pittsburgh Auto Depot for over 2 hours only to be told I could get a 1999 Taurus. I should of listened to my brother and just went to Southside motors first..

I just want to take a few minutes to let people know about how good I was treated at this car lot. I told them about my job loss and that my credit sucked and they told me not to worry because they didn't even check credit and that I still would be able to get a good running car. I have had my car for 8 months and only had to take it back one time and all it was was the radio plug came out. These people are great and will go the extra mile to help you.

I can say that this place did me right. Like most other people with bad credit I went to a bunch of car lots and even that JD BYRIDER place only to be screwed around and have someone tell me what kind of car I could get. I saw SS Motors on TV and figured I would give them a shot just to see what they could do for me. I'm soooo glad I did because they are the only place that would help me get a dependable car that looks fly. I didn"t have to settle for some old crappy car that I know would probably break down on me in a couple of months. So far everything is going great with the car. I have had it for almost 11 months now and really haven't had any major problems with it other then the one tire kept going flat and I took it back to them and they fixed it. I would say that if you have bad credit and want to go to a car lot that doesn't check credit do yourself a favor and go here. Plus you get a 2 year 24,000 mile warranty. Nobody eles gives you that.

They were great people

They really helped us get a nice 03 Dodge Durango with only 52,000 miles on it . Thank god they didn't check our credit because we would not have even bin approved for a bike let alone a really nice car. This dealer is awesum. You got to check them out. When you go there tell them the spider man told you to go there. I have spiders all over my arms and the one owner said he thought they were really cool. I recomend these guys
