Bouman Auto Gallery Ltd

I have bought 2 vehicles from bouman in the past the one i just purchased had some suspension issues i told walter about the issue and was told to bring it back and it was repaired no questions at their cost now you tell me what used car dealer other than BOUMAN in Nanaimo would do that they are the best I highly recommend them

Have bought 2 vehicles from Bouman motors and looking for a third. The 2 vehicles were well priced and reliable. No pressure sales, which I like, compared to the sleazy feeling big dealerships. I recommend Bouman for lower priced, older vehicles that still have lots of life in them.

Purchased my 2006 Rav 4 here this month and I am so pleased! Great price, Walter was extremely respectful and accommodating. My vehicle is perfect, and I am happy. Will definitely refer friends and come back in future. Thank you!

My wife and I had a very positive experience shopping for a good used car. Both Bouman brothers were very informative and patient. They also have a great selection of vehicles. We finally found the right car for us. After shopping around, none of the other dealerships could even get close in price.

A wonderful experience! Insurance was called, paperwork filled out and on my way in less than an hour. The cars on the lot are impeccable and cleaned so beautifully. I am very happy with the service and professionalism. Both Walter and Chris are great! Highly recommend going there for a car...

Went here over the weekend to help my friend purchase his first car. Although I have never dealt with Bouman Motors before, I have dealt with many new and used dealers over the years. I found the selection of vehicles quite varied and the price points very diverse. There really is something for just about everybody here. The vehicle quality was fairly hit and miss though I must say, so I'd suggest taking the time to look at a few different vehicles before settling on one. We were able to find a vehicle quite easily. A car within his budget with quite low kilometers, very clean and well maintained. The son of this father/son team is who we mainly dealt with and although not overly personable, he was easy/laidback to deal with and forthcoming with the carfax and inspection reports. Both him and the father were very low pressure and not at all pushy, something I have never experienced while dealing with a used dealer which was very refreshing. My friend is very interested in learning to drive a manual transmission car, but has not yet fully learned, and the son was totally understanding of the situation and allowed me to test drive the car with my friend as passenger. All in all, the process from start to finish was very easy, quick, understanding and we experienced ZERO pressure. The son was also very open to negotiating the price down a little bit on a car that was already priced fairly reasonably to begin with given the Make, Model, Year, KM's and Condition. Bonus that the lady they have doing their insurance is very knowledgeable, friendly, and also very helpful. She was patient enough to thoroughly field every question my friend had regarding the insurance process and policies as this is his first time dealing with them. Pleasantly surprised by this dealership and after our experience, I would definitely recommend this dealer. And my friend is very happy and totally excited with his first vehicle purchase.

Used to be a decent place to buy a car. I bought a car here once and it was a predictable used car experience. But be careful going now - the son of the owner Chris Bouman is adamantly anti vaccine. Be cautious during this surge of covid cases and take precautions to protect your health!

I bought a 2007 Suzuki SX4 1.5yrs ago and it's the best car I've ever had. We bought other vehicles from Bouman and never had any issues. Great service, dropped the price, and they're not even paying me to say this, lol

I read the reviews of this company before I went up to buy a vehicle. I would have to say the negative ones do not fit with the experience I had. Both Chris and Walter were great to deal with. I dealt with Chris more than Walter and have only good things to say. They accommodated my requests and though we did not meet on the price I wanted to pay for the vehicle, I feel the price I paid was acceptable. Thanks Chris and Walter.

We had a bizarre experience with Bouman Motors. We were ready to buy a nice looking SUV but for an independent Prepurchase Inspection. Strangely, Chris and his “boss” had a disagreement with our mechanic and both sides claimed the other had been rude. Bouman Motors refused to allow our mechanic to inspect the vehicle, claiming he would lie and give a negative report. The sale was lost. Beware of stubbornness that blinds all reason. We definitely won’t be back!
