We have bought 5 vehicles from ONG over the years. ONG is affordable when comparing with comparable vehicles and they are reliable. Oleg operates with integrity. We have recommended them often. The cars have a salvage title and they are all used so every car has things that happen. However we have been very pleased.

I bought a car from ONG the end of Sept, 2023.
I live out of state, so maybe this contributed to the service (or lack of) I have received after purchase.
I understand a “rebuilt” car is not going to be a museum piece. However, upon purchase I noticed that my car was missing an air inlet tube, had a cracked airbox, missing the battery hold down, missing a hood seal and hood labels. I pointed them out to Oleg. Oleg agreed to send me a battery hold down, but the other items I needed to repair myself as they were “personal preference.” Not sure how the air box and inlet tube are personal preference as they are functional parts for engine performance.
While I expect a “rebuilt” car to have some issues like paint that isn’t perfect, mis-aligned panel gaps, and a few odds and ends that I may need to address, I didn’t expect the nightmare I have experienced after buying this car. After a month, I still had never received the battery hold down. I messaged Oleg a few times, but he never responded. Here’s where it gets worse…..
The car always had alignment issue, so since Oleg ghosted me over the battery hold down (which I purchased myself) , I decided to take the car in for a wheel alignment on my dime. It was found that the frame was poorly repaired, and the left upper rail was still buckled. I left a one-star review on 10-20-2023 for ONG Auto.
Almost instantly, Oleg called me and said he was sorry for not sending the battery hold down and that I could bring the car back for the alignment / frame issues. I agreed to remove the review and send Oleg pics of what was found with the frame.
On 10-21 I texted Oleg the pics of the frame damage with a text asking, “is this safe to drive?”
Oleg never answered my question or got back to me after I sent the pics. I had no choice, but to find a different local shop to address the alignment.
The car was able to be aligned after a few adjustments and calibration of the steering angle sensor.
The car also had poor wiring repair resulting in the driving lights constantly blowing bulbs and fuses. I continue to find other issues since my purchase. With the poor frame / structure repairs and buckles still found in the rocker panels, I am amazed this car passed a salvage inspection.
Don’t do what I did. If you are interested in a car at ONG, pay a reputable body shop to inspect the car before you buy it. If you strike a deal, make sure all issues are corrected before you buy.
Update- The first subzero degree day, the poor quality "new" radiator that was used in the repair developed a massive leak. Unfortunately, I have discovered that most of the aftermarket parts ONG used on the rebuild are well below industry standard and poor quality. Cheap isn't good if you plan on longevity.
My opinion is ONG could have chosen better quality parts to fix the car and still made plenty of money. A quick, low cost rebuild for not much less than a clean title car is what I got. After all of work I have done, and still need to do, the deal wasn't worth it.
I will be surprised if the repairs to hold up. That's my opinion, but you do you.

I purchased my Toyota from ONG Auto. Oleg was a pleasure to work with. 5 years later and I’m still rocking with this car! Quality restoration and the financing was reasonable.

If i could give no stars i would the workmanship on their car's bodywork is below average at best and you point out the flaws and try to barter and the guy doesn't. The owner is a Ukrainian guy seems nice enough but will not barter in my case he was selling a car for 16400 that he paid 6700 for at co-part the local auto auction place. This car had little damage and they couldn't even get that right the lines were all wrong pay attention to the fender lines and the hood lines his cars have huge gaps everywhere and he wouldn't take a dime off buyer be ware.Update this guy decided to review my business that's been in Forest Lake for 30 years with all 5 stars satisfied customers as a pay back for a bad review. Instead of getting better and doing things right you decide to do payback for a bad review very pathetic. People are going to see I'm in Forest Lake an hour a way and wouldn't work there. However I would drive that far to buy a car for my child only to find out you do shotty work.Update here is a car he's selling for 18K he paid 5K for and would you want to be driving that after he repairs this .More coming everyday if you don't get your BFF Sergie to remove his post
