    The whole transaction went well starting from the first phone call I made to auto connections. Tony R was very informative and very friendly. We went to see the vehicle I was interested in, Tony greeted us gave us the keys and the allowed us to do our inspection, he was not overbearing, but very helpful to any questions we had. the transaction went smooth and did not take all day , to be honest from the time we walked in to look at the truck and drove away it was probably about a little over an hour and we came home with our beautiful truck!! I recommend auto connections, Tony R was very patient and explained each and every paper that needed to be signed he was honest and upfront about everything!! we were treated with much respect!

    Nick was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He made the process very easy and helped with financing options, explaining every purchasing detail patiently. Auto Connections has a great selection of vehicles, each in very good condition and at impressively competitive price points. We will absolutely be recommending them to friends and family and using them for future car purchases.

    Tony! He's the man. Real and straight to the point. I see why everyone walks off the lot with a car when they just come to look, I ended up leaving with a Subi when I originally came to just look.

    Amazing experience like no other place I've bought a car. I spent some time researching cars and places to buy them. The personal, family like treatment was great. No pressure, here's the keys and have at it. No hovering, high pressure salesperson. Smooth test drive process too. Don't wait long for trucks that arrive here, they disappear quick. I've missed on a couple, a testament to their quality and honesty I suppose. I seized the moment and got something I've been waiting for quite awhile. We had credit union pre-approval so we had an idea of how to buy the car. Interesting that Tony recommended the very credit union we already had! He specifically said they have some of the best rates. (They do!) Integrity! They are members of the Better Business Bureau with an A+ rating. A big plus in my book. Thanks to Tony and all the people at Auto Connections, you are a blessing to everyone. Tony, get your travels in! Enjoy those grandbabies!!

    I had a great experience buying a used SUV at Auto Connections in Orange. All of their inventory looked to be in great shape and they gave me a great price on the Qx60 that I finally decided to buy. They were friendly and the service was top notch. As a small business owner, I really appreciated the way they dealt with me and the efficiency with which we closed the deal and finished up the paperwork. When it is time for my next used vehicle I will definitely come back to Auto Connections!

I had a friend recommend B and J's automotive to me and I thought I would give them a chance-it's odd that my first real job was at B&J's burgers in San Dimas. First, I have to say that there was no pressure that you would normally find in small lots or even large dealerships. The cars are priced well; it appears that the B&J owners make sure that their employees are honest and care about the people coming through the doors. I worked in professional sales for 10 plus years before I became a professor. I can tell when people are genuine and when they're not, and these people are genuine. I was looking for a car to meet my son's needs, and I found a nice 2013 Toyota Corolla. It was in very good shape for being that old. Yes, you're going to find little scrapes here and there and possibly little minor defects but unless you go back in time and bring that car with you, you're not going to find something as clean as this one. This is an honest dealership. There are no hidden markups, no added tinted windows or security devices that you see in many other dealerships. Many dealerships will offer a price that seems enticing, however they have many add-ons like an upgraded stereo, upgraded wheels, upgraded tinted windows, upgraded sound system, upgraded security system and so on. NOT HERE. There is only one person that you need to ask for and that is Brian Ponce. He is the quintessential salesperson, and I'm 61 and I know salespeople that are good because he listens and he doesn't try to talk over you and tries to oversell. When you go there ask for him if you do not, you'll be doing yourself a disservice this is not to say that the other employees are poor workers, because I didn't meet them, but my experience with him was so intense that I can't imagine doing business with anybody else. It is a small dealership and usually I don't even go to these places. Again, because I was recommended by a friend, I did so. The car's outstanding I already had my mechanic check it out and of course there are a few minor things to do to it but nothing major the engine was great, the brakes are great the transmission's great the interior is great and again you can't expect everything to be perfect because it's thirteen years old. I am not a professional Yelper; I'm a normal person who tells it the way it is. Make an appointment with him and be on time and he respects that. I respect that someone values my time and is ready for me. I know there's a lot of unscrupulous people out there, but this place is not one of them. I'm going to send you a picture and you can see me in the picture. I'm a teacher, I don't have a lot of money to spend, and I believe in value and honesty, and this is where you'll find it. I hope you have an opportunity to speak with Brian and find a car that you like but to be honest I mean you have taxes and fees on top of everything you see and that's not the salesperson's fault, that's the state of California's fault. No matter where you go, you're still going to have to pay those same taxes so why not go to a place that will treat you justly, and with respect.

Working with Juan Salgado and Benjamin Fernandez. The vehicle was advertised for $14,999, and I made a $10,000 down payment toward the purchase. One of the primary reasons I felt comfortable proceeding with the transaction was the dealership's representation that I would have a 48-hour period to review the transaction and return the vehicle if I disagreed with any aspect of the purchase or was dissatisfied for any reason. Relying upon those representations, I completed the purchase believing I would have a meaningful opportunity to review all transaction documents and associated charges. However, I was not provided copies of my paperwork until after the 48-hour period had expired. Upon finally receiving and reviewing the documents, I discovered that the total cost of the transaction had been significantly increased by additional products and charges, including $1,936 for a Tire and Wheel Protection Plan and $3,399 for a theft deterrent product (Starguard), which i was originally quoted $20 per day. These charges materially increased the overall cost of the vehicle and were not expressed to me at the time I entered into the transaction. My current balance on the car is $12.360.55, after putting $10,000 down on a 14,999 car. OC Motors is a total rip off! Had I been provided the complete paperwork immediately following the sale, I would have been able to review the documents during the promised review period and make an informed decision regarding the transactions. But apparently thats how this company operates. After discovering these charges, I made numerous attempts to contact the dealership to discuss my concerns and obtain clarification. Unfortunately, my efforts were unsuccessful. I was repeatedly transferred between offices, informed that I was contacting the wrong department, and, on multiple occasions, my calls were disconnected. I also sent emails seeking assistance and clarification but did not receive any response. I further learned that the vehicle had a prior damage history reflected in the vehicle history report. While vehicle history information may have been available, consumers should be provided with complete transparency regarding both the condition of the vehicle and all financial terms associated with the purchase. I'm documenting this to caution other consumers to exercise diligence when purchasing a vehicle. Prospective buyers should carefully review every document, verify every charge, ask questions regarding all add-on products, and ensure they receive copies of all signed paperwork BEFORE leaving the dealership. I wouldn't recommend them at all but if you do purchase a car from this dealership, read everything, even the small print, they are very crafty- they try to "legally" scam people. In my opinion, the manner in which this transaction was handled lacked the transparency and customer service that consumers should reasonably expect when making a significant financial purchase. No matter how good these cars look or the prices, do not trust this company I hope that by sharing my experience, other consumers will be better informed and able to avoid similar frustrations. *They will reap what they sow* Blessings to all

And check engine light came on driving back from picking it up here we are now a year later and the car has giving me nothing but problems.

Another awesome thing she did, is when I didn't have the full amount for the down payment, she worked with me so I could pay it off before my first car payment, and still got to leave that day with the car! If you're looking for a new car I HIGHLY recommend this place, and if you do go, make sure to find or ask for Allison because she will do whatever she has to do to make sure that you have a good time, answer any questions you may have, and most importantly leave with a car that you love! Even after buying a car, Allison makes sure that you know she is only a phone call away!
