      I bought a car from there they said that they would correct the problems the next day. the problems were unsafe tires and sealant around the upper third brake light, Went back the next day waited for about 9 hours and they did not correct any issues with the car. They are a bait and switch dealer.

      Car I purchased had serious mechanical issues and dealer cant provide any service records prior to sale. Refused to fix the car, and refused to allow a return. They changed the price of my trade-in which was verbally agreed upon, and added an unwanted tracking device and charged me for that too, then refused to correct both on the sales paperwork. Wont return calls. Probably the worst experience Ive ever had purchasing a car, and the worst dealership Ive ever dealt with.

      Dealer will not return phone calls regarding update on vehicle status. Car was left for service for 3 days. I called from 9am to 5pm several times speaking to multiple people just to be shuffled around with false claims to call back regarding car. I spoke to ****, ******, ******, ******** and three other people who didnt give their names. Still no resolution as to update on vehicle or status of repairs being done.

      DO NOT BUY YOUR CAR FROM HERE!Check engine light shortly after leaving dealership. Called and was told it must have been something i have done to the car. They cleared codes on this car to not display the *** and sell this car. I have never dealt with a less professional dealership. 0 stars should be possible for business like this.

      Such a bad place to buy a car. They are nothing but bullcrappers. They sold me a car that I found roaches in and they damaged my rim when they changed the flat tire the car got while in their parking lot. The seat belt was broken and the alarm didnt work, theres this electrical issue in the dash board and it glitches, I cant see the miles or my gas percentage. I took it in at 9am picked it up at 5pm and they did such a bad job at detailing it. Im pretty sure it did nothing for the ***** I saw in their. Left cribs from the previous owner. The seat belt still hadnt been replaced. I was told I have to take the car back in another week and a half. The car was there for 8 hours and they did absolutely nothing to it. The dash is still having issues. I argued with ******* about the car and she was just so full of it. Saying they detailed the car and according to her it looked great. She knew that they did a bad job but thats how used car dealerships like this are. I wish I would have listed to my dad and waited to get a car at a better place. Im sure others had a good expirience but mine was not/has not been good at all. I put $10,000 down on this car and my interest rate is still thru the roof. Please do your research before purchasing your car here. My red flag at this place was when they asked to hold something of value when I went to the bank to get a cashiers check. That was so weird and desperate that I should have seen the sign, but I was so excited to be getting the car and I had already been there for 3 1/2 hours I was not thinking straight.

      I would like to take the time to acknowledge ******************* has been the most helpful. This is my second time buying a vehicle with him. Each time has been an easy transaction. I like the fact he is not pushy but instead, he relates to the consumers. I appreciate working with ppl like ****** who are willing to access the situation and work out the best deals. Thank you ******! It was a pleasure to get your help with purchasing another vehicle.

      DO NOT BUY YOUR CAR FROM HERE!We purchased a car from these guys and was not registered in the required time frame, every time we called they would pass us to different people and never responded to our complaint. The car still at this time in the condition of not having received the California registration in line with California LAW. They should not be in business and report to BBB should be launched
