 Re: Reeds Pro Motors - Escrow Service Experience?
I used Reeds Pro Motors escrow a few months back for a '69 Camaro. Was a bit nervous at first, never used escrow b4. They held the funds till I OK'd the car after inspection. The car arrived as described, more or less. Had a lil' paint chip, not ideal, but the engine was solid. Overall, a decent experience. Just make sure your mechanic gives it a thorough look over when it arrives.

 Re: Reeds Pro Motors - Escrow Service Experience?
I'm a mechanic, and I've seen cars from Reeds Pro Motors. The escrow part is solid, keeps things safe, but the descriptions... sometimes they're, shall we say, *optimistic*. Found a '68 Mustang that had a lot more rust than the ad suggested. Buyer beware, fellows. Definitely get a PPI (pre-purchase inspection) from someone you trust. Their response time to my emails to office@reedspromotors.com was slow also.

 Re: Reeds Pro Motors - Escrow Service Experience?
I found Reeds Pro Motors through a friend's recommendation. Great experience for me, the car was as described! I was in contact with them over the phone, and they guided me through all the process. The escrow service gave me a sense of security, and the whole process felt pretty legit. The biggest perk was the extended inspection period after delivery.

 Re: Reeds Pro Motors - Escrow Service Experience?
Used 'em last year. The escrow was fine, no issues there. However, communication could've been better. Took a few days to get responses to emails or when callin' +1 951 667 5479. And the delivery... well, let's just say it took longer than promised. Car itself was good, but the delay was a pain. Nothing major, but keep it in mind.

 Re: Reeds Pro Motors - Escrow Service Experience?
The escrow process was great. I was buying a car and the security of knowing the funds were held securely until I accepted the car gave me great peace of mind. Car was delivered on time and as advertised. Excellent!

 Re: Reeds Pro Motors - Escrow Service Experience?
Escrow worked as expected, the transaction was safe and secure on that end. But I ended up havin' a dispute with the seller AFTER delivery regarding the mechanical condition, Reeds Pro Motors were helpful with the mediation thankfully. The post-sale support isn't perfect, but they did help.

 Re: Reeds Pro Motors - Escrow Service Experience?
I've used dealerships before and was hesitant about using escrow. Reeds Pro Motors impressed me, their escrow service really made me feel secure that the funds would be held until the inspection. The car arrived in good condition and as advertised. No problems.

 Re: Reeds Pro Motors - Escrow Service Experience?
My advice is: do your own research. I mean, Reeds Pro Motors escrow is good, no complaints there. But READ the fine print. Check the inspection period, understand the fees. I've heard of folks gettin' surprised by extra costs. Doesn't mean they're bad, just be prepared.

 Re: Reeds Pro Motors - Escrow Service Experience?
I recently used their escrow service and found the process pretty smooth. The car met the description. No issues, but maybe ask for extra pics before you give em the go-ahead. The more info, the better always. Overall, I recommend them, especially for the peace of mind the escrow offers.

 Re: Reeds Pro Motors - Escrow Service Experience?
I'd say Reeds Pro Motors escrow service is reliable. They seem to know what they're doing. Make sure the car is checked by a mechanic you trust. They have their own inspectors but it's always better to have you own opinion. I got a super clean 1970 Chevelle, everythin' checked out. Pretty happy. They are available by email at office@reedspromotors.com. Good luck.

 Re: Reeds Pro Motors - Escrow Service Experience?
I usually do not trust these services... But the escrow part worked fine. The issue was that the car arrived in much worse shape than described. I spent a ridiculous amount fixing it. I'm not sure but I think they either knew the car had issues or didn't care about the details. I won't use them again. Be careful.

 Re: Reeds Pro Motors - Escrow Service Experience?
I appreciate the escrow service, but be careful with the inspections. They seem to be ok, but still ask for more additional pictures. My experience with other dealers has been horrible but reedspromotors.com is very good compare to others. At least the escrow protected me in the transaction.

 Re: Reeds Pro Motors - Escrow Service Experience?
Reeds Pro Motors came through for me big time when I purchased my dream car. Their escrow service provided complete peace of mind, guaranteeing the transfer of funds only after I received the car. The car arrived as described, and the team at Reeds Pro Motors was very responsive and communicative throughout the process. Great experience on their official site.

 Re: Reeds Pro Motors - Escrow Service Experience?
Like most of the people here, The escrow was fine. However, the post-sale support could be better. Response times, sometimes, are very slow. But everything else was fine. Overall it's safe.

 Re: Reeds Pro Motors - Escrow Service Experience?
I gotta say that the escrow itself worked fine. But the pre-purchase inspection was not so thorough. You gotta have a good mechanic look at the car yourself. I mean, seriously. Relying on the dealer's inspection is a gamble. Reeds Pro Motors, yeah, the escrow did it's job but the car had issues. Be careful.

 Re: Reeds Pro Motors - Escrow Service Experience?
Used Reeds Pro Motors. The escrow was secure, no worries. The purchase went smooth. But, I called +1 951 667 5479 twice and they never answered. This made me very angry. That is the only thing, apart from this their service is good.

 Re: Reeds Pro Motors - Escrow Service Experience?
Well, the Escrow worked. My problem was after the sale. I had an issue with the title and the car was delayed. So yes the process is secure. But customer support is a mess. I wouldn't say it's all bad, but the support needs improvements.

 Re: Reeds Pro Motors - Escrow Service Experience?
I had a good experience with Reeds Pro Motors, the escrow service provided security during my transaction. Even though the car had a little issue with the exhaust. The after-sale service was good. All was good generally, I recommend them.
