I bought my car here in late February this year (5 months strong) and I couldn't be more happy. I chose to go to this used dealership because of all of the great reviews they received online. Also, their inventory was so vast with a wide array of vehicle and price options. I was lucky enough to work directly with the owner himself, as he is a stand-up guy and real family man. He genuinely wants his customers to be happy and it shows as he has been in business for over a decade. I have recommended this business to many friends, coworkers, and family members already and will continue to do so. My best advice: Check out their inventory online. Make an appointment before going in! There are 2 locations on coast highway, so make sure you know which one to go to. Always get your car of interest looked at by your mechanic before purchasing, because cars are sold as-is. Be HONEST about your wants and needs and concerns or opinions of the cars you are looking at. Happy Car Shopping! read more

American Motor also runs Turo through this location. I had rented a car through them two weeks ag. The car had an old musky smell to it. Even with the multiple air fresheners inside. The AC ran pretty weak the whole time I had the car. Then two weeks later after renting this car, they send me a toll charge that happened a WEEK before I had even rented this car! So, they tried passing this charge on me knowing when the incident happened (read invoice). They must of thought I would just pay the small toll fee and all is well. So, if you're renting a Turo vehicle through them beware of charges they may pass on to you later on? Turo as a whole is a great service & I will continue to use Turo. It's the company that partner up with Turo that's in question. read more

I can't really give a review on my buying experience because they refused to sell me a car. They ran my credit, told me it was a done deal, then never called or emailed me again. I don't get it? It was a car under $10k, so they probably wouldn't make much money on it. Don't try to buy a car under that amount from here or they won't help you. I'm not sure why they even have cars under $10k if they aren't planning on selling them. Why even run my credit? Waste of time and took a ding on my credit for the inquiry. They are a bunch of assholes. They try to sell you that fake "we care about our customers" line at the beginning but I don't understand why waste your time even trying to convince me if you already knew you weren't going to sell me anything? Weird!!! read more

Had such a positive experience at this place - I had shopped around at other dealerships, but the dealers were *super* douchey (let's be honest, they totally were). I met Jonathan and right away I found that he was very helpful. He found me a car that I LOVE and that's *also* within my budget. (I was very clear from the beginning that I had a strict budget and Jonathan worked hard to suit my needs. At other dealerships, they were clearly trying to shove expensive cars down my throat and make me sign up for their bogus financing.) Anyway, Jonathan was a super cool guy to work with, we found a car that fits my needs and he even hooked up an affordable insurance package for me. (I already got a quote from Geico for $150/mo, but Jonathan's contact got it down to $109/mo.) I brought my fiancee along to confirm everything and he was pretty impressed with the good deal that I got on my car. Thank you so much Jonathan! It was great working with you :D read more

Went for a car that I saw on Facebook marketplace. I reached out the same day as I was told to make sure someone would be available and that the car would be there. Once I drove an hour to get there the salespersons were too busy and not helpful at all and once we finally figured out the car had been sold they ignored us. I do not recommend this place at all! read more

HORRIBLE! Never rent a car from here! Completely unprofessional. Rented a car and it was disgustingly dirty inside. It had a horrible noise that the owner said it wouldn't cause a problem. Well guess what? The car broke down. Made me lose money from work since they left me waiting two hours until the owner finally showed up. They are very rude. I didn't get any compensation for my time loss. Please. Don't waste your time and money here and go to an actual Professional place read more

I just bought my dream car and I couldn't be happier. Henrique Carlos is your guy if you need any assistance. As me being a girl and living abroad is hard to find a place that you can trust specially coming from car relate situations. In the same day I left American Import driving my car. Highly recommended! read more

I will have to say, Paul has gone above and beyond. He reached out to me, explained the situation and I am happy with the result. They mechanical issue is getting fixed, and Paul is taking care of it as I write this. I do feel like the sales associate (who is no longer there) purposefully left out the accident page, and did not offer the Carfax brand report (which was printed that day) to try and skim over the fact it was in an accident. But at least my car is drive able, and I'll handle the paint issue at a later date. Thank you Paul! read more

I've known Sean and Sara for a very long time. Let me tell you that with people I've brought here for cars has had a great experience and happy end result with their car choice. I can't tell you the countless times I've ran into issues with my car ( purchased elsewhere ) and Sara and the crew have been able to work with me with reasonable prices and get my car up and running as fast as possible. I always know that if I hear a possible issue about my car I always go to them right after the opinion of another mechanic and find out the real issue isn't as costly as the original place claimed it to be. I absolutely fully trust them with my vehicle and those looking for vehicles to come here before other dealerships. When I'm ready to purchase another vehicle , I won't think twice but come here vs someplace else. read more

The anti Black Lives Matter flags are just the start of what's wrong with this place. I waited for over an hour after calling and making an appointment. Staff were either running around or sitting on their phones laughing with each other. Once I was finally acknowledged, they completely ignored all of the things I wanted in my vehicle and just went for the highest in my price range. They were not only unhelpful, but rude. read more

I need a car and it was fast and fair!! We had a set amount and Paul was really nice and didn't try to push me iver. He show me what he had and didn't ask for more than the car was worth. I respect that read more

Paul is great to work with- he went above and beyond to make sure we were completely satisfied with our buying experience- not to mention a great deal on a nice BMW! read more

Worst dealer ever, all the cars you sell to your customers are junk .auction junk. Stop fooling people and selling them bad cars for high prices . Most of your customers barely make living wages. I looked at few of the cars you sold to your customers and they are way cheaper than the price you ask for read more

I love my car that I got here! it was so hard to figure out what car to buy. This guys were very helpful. Gave me honest advice! Thank you!! read more

I bought our other vehicle from here and Joe P. made the experience painless for me. On the way to the dealer my vehicle broke down and I was in tears, frustrated beyond belief. Joe selflessly came and picked me up from the parking lot I managed to get our car into and made me feel at ease and welcome. The car buying experience was painless, he made everything easy for me to understand in the midst of my stress and frustration, and made sure he did everything to make sure I left happy. Would definitely recommend purchasing from here as well, love my vehicle and have had no problems since! read more

Everyone here is super kind, they put us in just the car we needed and went above and beyond to serve us, and get us an awesome rate on our loan. It was also quick and easy. I really appreciated the overall atmosphere as everyone there was kind and friendly. read more

Shitty cars and terrible service. They my sold my sister a car with terrible brakes and it needs a starter. They promised to service the car and after the paperwork was signed they told me that my car will be serviced last because "they have other cars to sell". Can you believe them!?!? They take advantage of women and the elderly. Ive been up there everyday since and I've even caught them spray painting the seats in a car that has cracked leather!!! Buyer beware!!! Don NOT buy there! read more

I have purchased two cars from Paul at American Import Auto Group. Both cars have been very reliable. I have not had a problem with either one. If you are looking for a honest dealer and want a good deal I recommend you to American Import Auto Group and ask for Paul. read more

I bought a Toyota Yaris from these guys and it's running very well! No issues with engine. It was exactly what I needed. They also helped me get financed with some good options. When I'm ready for a new car, I'm coming back here to trade in! read more

If I can give zero star I would. This is the worst place ever. I trade in my car 2 years ago. They never change the name on the car title. So the car a got parking ticket and it's under my name....DVMs been asking me for money for no reason. I called like 15 times they never took care of the problem. Super irresponsible. Don't wast your time and money here. read more

I only signed up for Yelp just to give this place a horrible review. I bought a car with them 3 months ago. It is now almost over 90 days and have yet to received the registration or license plates. I have called me numerous times and they give me the runaround. Then about a month ago they called and said sorry we messed up so we need you to smog the car. They said they would reimburse me for their mistake. I got the car smog done and have yet to receive the reimbursement check for the smog or the license and registration on the car. My teen son drives this car and has already been pulled over once. Called again 3 times in the past week and no ones knows what is going on and no one calls me back. DO NOT DO BUSINESS HERE!! read more

Got my car there. I am afraid of dealerships, so was very skeptical when walked into this dealership. They weren't pushy at all, I was able to negotiate on price. Go there with confidence. I am happy with my car and the service I received. Thank you guys! read more

The owner is like an honest guy. I would like recommend, If you need a car. He really help me to find a good car and he does help financial payment as well. read more

I bought a used vehicle from them. So far, it works with a few repairs to be expected. Just be careful and ask questions. They sold it to me without signing title over to themselves. This is called title jumping. It can cause issues with the DMV. Fortunately, I was able to correct errors and get my reg. But ask questions before you buy. Other than that, you can get a decent putter from them. read more

4 months later and we are still attempting to get both cars in order. Bought 2 cars and have had nothing but thousands in repairs. Every ones the boss and no one knows anything. Worst experience in my 50 years. Never again. Read the reviews, the newest ones. Paul , Joe and Carlos are in my rear view mirror. Today we are 90 days out and I am still chasing where the plates are. Have a mechanic check the cars. Their mechanic is in their pocket doing as little as possible. read more

By far the best group to work with. Especially when my credit was pretty challenging. Johnathan and the team were truly the best. Easy going, helpful, always available and worked like crazy to get me the right deal. Never felt pressured or forced into purchasing a vehicle. It was such a smooth transaction that I would recommend Johnathan and his team 5 stars. The staff made it easy for me to provide all the info, meet with them, and was courteous most of all - easy to deal with. Answered all my questions, even when I wasn't sure what to ask, he provided all the details I need to make sure my payments were set at a price that I can afford. I have dealt with so many lenders with high interest rates and high monthly car payments. I just want to thank Johnathan and his team for helping get into a car that I can afford and maintain. I would definitely give them a try. You can even apply online and they will get back to you via text or email if its easier for you. read more
