They buy all their cars at auction Avoid this place at all costs. Everything on the lot is bought at auction. Usually CarMax auctions. So CarMax has taken these in and decided they are not good enough. I bought a car that had at least 3 things wrong with. One I saw immediately the air bag light. They offered to fix it. Upon driving it home we discovered there was no heat and bad breaks. I had to fight like crazy to let me pick another car but it would cost me $500.

I didn't feel comfortable so after many phone calls and then pressuring me to keep the car we decided to just show up and demand our money back. They reluctantly agreed but gave me $1000 less than I paid. total loss was $1600 with tax and title. Only 3 days had passed. Never buy a car here. You have been warned!

Hetts Auto Sales is a very nice family owned business that has been in Oswego for years. They are an honest and fair dealership that goes the extra mile for their customers. My wife and I have purchased 2 vehicles from Ed, the owner and have been happy with the entire purchasing process.

Looking for a sweet used ride? This is the place to go. These folks are good people to do business with. Matt and Ed make the buying process a comfortable experience. This is our 2nd purchase from them and we are more than satisfied. The vehicle is solid and the price was right. When you go to Hetts, you can expect Honesty, Courtesy and a Fair Deal. I definitely recommend this place.

This is my second time visiting Hetts to get a vehicle. Had great luck with the first car i got with them. Ed and Matt are friendly and upfront in answering questions. Not only that but they are a staple business in downtown Oswego and have been around forever. I highly recommend using them!

Wonderful people to work with, they are very nice and not pushy just to make a sale. They found me a car with a payment I could afford. I have bought cars from them in the past and definitely will buy from them in the future. Highly recommend them.

I had shopped around for 6 months before finally settling on a car. The Hetts boys are fair and were actually very transparent with me from the get go. They do things the right way in my opinion. I got a very fair price for a great vehicle. Yes! it took some negotiating, If you don't like the art of negotiation, then go buy your car at a vending machine or carmax! I would buy from them again in a second!

Second off Anyone who commented on this dealership and said they didn't give me, "Kelly blue book pricing" should take their comment down! That statement is laughable! Go buy your cars at carmax please! Ed and Matt are stand up guys! You have a life long customer! Referrals are on there way soon my friends. I you nothing more than continued success. I wish I could give you guys 10 stars! Dan

Just bought a new car a couple of weeks ago. Ed and Matt were great. Low pressure salesmen and very easy to talk to. Also had no problem with me taking the car to an independent mechanic to have it checked before I bought it. I would highly recommend Hetts Auto for anyone looking for a good, affordable used car.
