Best experience ever buying a car - silvia

Best experience ever buying a car. Normally a woman would go with a male friend, husband or partner to look for cars. After reading the online reviews, I decided to believe what I read and I went alone. I left the place with my dream car: a manual Black Camaro. One of the owners, Kevin took care of me, and he made me feel comfortable, and made the process of purchasing a vehicle very easy, specially because I dont have any experience and I went alone. I am very satisfied with the service that Kevin provided me with. He comes across as a very trustworthy salesman. I highly recommend Carsmith Motors for anyone who is looking to buy a car. I will certainly go there again!

11/15/2010 I was looking for a BMW 3 series wagon and found one on Craigslist. It was listed by http://DriveBid.com Great, detailed pictures and detailed information about the car plus contact information. I called on the spot, made an appointment with Michael Salido, the owner and drove there to see the car the same day. You know the proverbial used car dealer? Nothing like that here. Just a friendly handshake, a smile and relaxed conversation. You like it you buy it, you don't like no problem, no pressure. Michael is the friendliest car dealer I've ever met and regrettably I have met a few. I drove the car, decided to buy on the spot and did all the paperwork right there in his office including the DMV registration, very openly and honestly. He also worked with me on the price. All this on a beautiful Sunday when most people would be relaxing at home. Later had a small issue with the car, no problem Michael took care of it in no time flat. He makes absolutely sure that your experience at his dealership is the happiest one you've had buying a car. Bottom line: You want to be abused, go to a big dealership... You want to be pampered, go to Michael and have a friend for life. Thank you Michael!

Alex and Kyle are terrific; kind and professional describe them perfectly. I got a beautiful, reliable car at super reasonable price, quickly. This was, by far, the best car buying experience I've ever had.

This place literally sold me a linen with extended - realitysounds

This place literally sold me a linen with extended warranty and won't cover anything with the warranty! They sold me a car that had something wrong with it that will cost over $5,000. I haven't even had it for a month!!!

Definitely a great experience, the seller and the manager - ramoshenryr12@gmail.com

Definitely a great experience, the seller and the manager help us to get the vehicle we were looking for , definitely I would recommend this dealer

I was skeptical about this dealer after reading some of the other reviews. I decided to drive to San Diego yesterday to look at a BMW 328i they had advertised since it had everything I was looking for & I was unable to find it elsewhere (6 speed manual with the premium package including navigation). I figured if the car checked out via a test drive then I could determine if there was any merit to some of the negative reviews I read about these guys. I found, contrary to some of the reviews, that they were very professional and easy to deal with. Actually a great group of people. I am very pleased with my purchase and I would definitely buy a used car from these guys again. I am glad I was not negatively influenced by some of the other reviews I read about K&S. Check them out for yourself - I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Ben do help you get cars but please be careful when - aingram20

Ben do help you get cars but please be careful when purchasing it. When my car has problems, he ignores your call and won't get back to you. I haven't been driving it more than 30 days and constantly having problems. Do not get your car from here unless you want to deal with car problems

Alfonso Fuentes was my service advisor. - margaretirvingre

Alfonso Fuentes was my service advisor. He went above and beyond to ensure my concerns were taken care of efficiently and in a timely manner. In my case, a few different issues arose that needed extra attention and Alfonso (Fonzie) wasted no time in resolving these issues. Alfonso is incredibly pleasant to work with, plus he was thorough when describing in detail the service that was needed. I give Alfonso 10 out of 10 stars. Overall I have had very positive experiences at both this service center in Kearny Mesa and in Poway. I highly recommend.

Bought an Alpina B7 from these guys, real easy going and pleasant to deal with. Tires were worse than I realized and they quickly stepped upand offered a generous resolution. I would not hesitate to purchase again!

Straightforward and responsive! - xpernc

I live two hours away from Sunset Car Co and they had a hard-to-find minivan I was interested in. I made several calls and emails to German who answered my questions and helped me to make a decision. I'm sorry we were not able to make a deal this time but I very much appreciated German's time and patience while I did my research. Thanks again!

Bought my leased Benz with amazing experience with Robert W. - Firouzeh.G

Walked in to Walters on Saturday 11/25 to purchase my leased 2015 GLK 2015. Robert connected with my husband and I super professional and presented a well Benz representative. I wanted to say he did not even to pressure us to trade our car with another one because that what we did not want to do. Everyone is afraid of going to dealers and getting pressured but Robert He absolutely did an a WOW job and went above and beyond. I just want to say. that Walters and even Mercedes Benz should be HONORD and proud to have an employee such as Robert working for them. We just met this guy for like 3 hours and he made us his client that we want to come back for sure. That what a sales representative looks like. He deserve a recognition. Thank you

Fast and Helpful - Griff

By far, the most enjoyable car purchasing experience I've ever experienced was made possible by Benia Mangini and Billy McGill. They paid attention to my needs and exceeded expectations.

Brandon the sales manager is a very mean, disrespectful... - tianfengz

Brandon the sales manager is a very mean, disrespectful and unrealiable perosn. I was in talk with him and John via my cell phone which starts from (312) Chicago #, because we never changed since we moved to California 3 years back. He called me and questioned me why I was using 312 phone #, instead of CA area code. I told him all our friends knew this nubmer for years so we decided to keep. I also tried to provide my office phone # which starts with 626 but he didnt listen. He ended up the call saying "I would pass on this opportunity and please Never call us back, because I don't believe what you said that you are buying for your family. I think you are exporting to other country". I am so furious on this and felt so much insulted. We looked all around in LA, San Diego, Thousand Oaks area, but cannot find a vehicle matches our need: R350 Bluetech, non-black interior, 7-seat, parktronic. And they have one and I called them. Never thought I would be treated like this. It is so unfair and I cannot believe this is how they treated a customer like this. Never go to this dealer, especially this Brandon guy!!!

This company is worse than what I hear from everyone. - Yung

This company is worse than what I hear from everyone. My DFP light came on and brought my vehicle to the Cardinale dealership. They said that I need a new DFP system. It cost me $2,500. The light comes back on again within 4 months. I didn't want to go back to Cardinale. So I took it to a reputable mechanic in town, and the fault code was for Cardinale to update the software of the DFP system they put in 4 months ago. I took it back to Cardinale. They are telling me I had a check engine light on and I need a new thermostat. Which I did not have a check engine light on when I brought in. That cost me $1,700, and they even charged me $400 for updating the software. Then, 2 months later, the DFP light comes back again. This time they are telling me that I need a new Catalytic Converter, and it will cost me $3,700. They are so unprofessional. It's hard to believe they are a dealership. They don't return your messages. They don't know the previous services they performed. It's a mess. At this point, I had a feeling I was getting scammed. I towed my vehicle to another dealership 50 miles away. The DFP regeneration is costly at a dealership, but I got it done with $864. And nothing was wrong with my Catalytic Converter. I heard so many people complaining about this company. It really is all true. I recommend everyone to stay far away from this place.

Carmax is great it’s the 2nd car I’ve bought from them. - JenZ

Carmax is great it’s the 2nd car I’ve bought from them. It helped doing a trade in. Hulen location everyone was great all the way through process.

Worst experience!!!!!!!! They sold me a Jeep Wrangler... - jjkondrot

Worst experience!!!!!!!! They sold me a Jeep Wrangler overheated on the way home and the next day the brakes went out while coming to a stoplight and MATT COLLINS (owner) would not give me my money back. Shooting yourself in the leg is a better idea than buying a vehicle at Collins Motor Co.

Friendly, Courteous sales team - SC_39

Ethan was very great. He showed me 3 different cars and did a great job explaining each one. He was very patient and helped me run all the numbers for all the different options. Never felt any pressure from him or his team to buy. Only downside is that their price was not the most competitive of 3 comparable bids. I gave Ethan last look to match but he couldn’t. I appreciate the honesty and efforts. BTW. This Mazda dealership needs more customer parking spaces!

Customer Service is GREAT! - lulyr962

Customer Service is GREAT! Beyond my expectations...! Daniel Torres is helpful, friendly and he made sure I had a very good experience buying my car. I highly recommend Corona Motors Direct!

I am so happy with my new 2022 truck I would not have pulled the trigger if not for Chad...He is best salesman that I have had the pleasure to meet. He goes all out to make you feel like you got the best deal possible. Chad thank you for going all out and keep up the good work.

The left tailight of my car can't turn on. - tripusa

The left tailight of my car can't turn on. I bring the car to Fremont Hyundai repair dealership to fix it. The car stayed there for one week, but they can’t fix it well. Diagnosis fee will be $1300. I took my car to Giant Bull auto repair shop, they only spent one hour and fixed it well. Only charged $185.

What a nightmare. - RainyThatsMe

What a nightmare. I have said it before&I will say it again. I will never buy a Kia again because of the service centers. I love my car but the service centers are incompetent. They had my car for a month. Kept saying that my warranty company was denying a repair but when I called the warranty company they told me no repairs were submitted. I contacted corp and they tried to contact mgmt&no response. Twice I asked them to pick me up&was told someone would call me no one did. Finally got a ride there. When I walked in Dennis the mgr is who i spoke to. They called the warranty right in front of me. The clerk was only informing the warranty company of part of the repair. When they had the whole story it was covered in an instant. When I picked up my car my sun roof opened less then it did when I dropped it off. I brought the vehicle back and they first tried to make me pay ANOTHER diagnostic fee and they are stating that the warranty company won't cover the entire time for the repair. I called the warranty company&they cover the manufacturers suggested repair time plus 40%. The dealership service center says they cannot repair it in the covered time. Do not take your vehicle here. They are a nightmare. They literally caused the problem with the last repair and want to charge me to fix it. I'd upload video proof if allowed.

Clean, and efficient. The space was cold, sales people in knit hats. Sales guy was good

Had a lemon, carmax refunded our money - mkirk

We bought a subaru outback from Carmax a few months ago that ended up having some emissions control problems that were caused by additions put on the car by a prior owner. Carmax management admitted that they should have recognized the problem and never sold the car to us. They decided to buy our car back from us for full price. It was great not having to get stuck with a broken car with 6k plus in repairs, and allowing us the opportunity to buy a higher quality car. Because they were so willing and easy to work with us on our broken vehicle, we bought another car from them and will be happy to continue buying vehicles from them in the future. I highly recommend this dealership and their service department. They were very honest with us and willing to make us happy. Definitely consider buying your used vehicle here if you're looking.

Friendly, Helpful, Great People - R. Smebye

I went to CarMax to sell my SLK280. Kelly BB said it was worth $12,450. The dealer where I was buying another car said they'd give me $9,800! xxx! So someone said go talk to Josh at CarMax. Since I had nothing to lose, I went there and met Josh. The most earnest, honest, helpful guy I've met at a dealership. He took my keys, and 10 minutes later came back and said he thought I'd be happy with their appraisal. Boy was I ever! They offered $15,000! $5k more than the dealer, and $2.5K more than Kelly Blue Book had said. Josh helped me get the stuff out of my car and then took me to Maurice in the business office and he got the check for me. Friendly, honest, amazing. I had never been to any CarMax dealer before, and honestly for some unknown reason had a low opinion of them. BUT my personal experience once there was terrific. I don't know about the other CarMax locations, but this one offered literally world class service to me. I'm forever thankful to Josh for helping me. There was no xx, no negative comments about the car, it was great. Anyway, can't say enough good things about my experience there.
