    Art Sanchez took my phone call and made sure the truck I saw online was there and available for a test drive. He showed me several options once I arrived and after the third test drive on a different vehicle I was able to make my final decision. He is patient and very nice, I would work with him again.

    Them not selling for advertised price

    Deceptive sales practices and false advertising ! BUYER BEWARE they listed and advertised a truck for 15900. I wanted it and went with cash plus sales tax. They refused to sell it. They sneakily are trying to add 2500 in "fees" and call it mandatory lojack and clear coat. Such BS. Don't waist your time these folks need to go out of buisness

    Look at the fake add ons.new car dealers do this now low ends too?

    They advertise a price then try to charge 500 bucks for those 3M door edge strips u can get for $12 on amazon and instal in 10 minutes. The loojack scam $999 and a bunch more.

    Went in to purchase a vehicle, at first everything seemed good but the vehicle was making a banging sound every time you'd stop and go. I was told it would be fixed so I decided to move forward. Filled out credit app, had money down and was told that it was declined almost immediately. No bank ever ran the credit except them in house, immediately they asked for 60% down and when I declined communication ceased. Text messages and phone calls not returned. Nice cars, but sales skills and customer service suck. Check your car for defects and mammals sure you get everything in writing. Went to another dealer and was immediately approved with little down for another Range Rover at a higher price and a decent APR.

Allison was so patient with me, and she really worked with me so I could leave with a car that I really wanted! She let me test drive pretty much any car I wanted, and let me drive it around for pretty much however long I needed too, and when it came time for me to find car insurance, she even took the time to look around and even got some quotes for me which was so cool of her to do! 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! Im so grateful for all your help Allison, I don't think words could describe how thankful I am for all that you did for me!

I've had the car a couple weeks now and I can honestly say this was the best decision I've made when buying a car.

They answered all of my questions, were transparent throughout the process, and gave me the time I needed to make an informed decision. They were also accommodating when I wanted to have the vehicle inspected before purchasing, which gave me additional peace of mind. The paperwork was straightforward, and the entire process was smooth from start to finish. I've been very happy with my Corolla so far, and I appreciate the excellent customer service I received. If you're looking for an honest dealership with a friendly and helpful staff, I would definitely recommend giving them a visit.

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.

    This was the absolute worst car buying experience I've ever had…read more Nick and Candace had me totally convinced that I was getting this great car and that Enterprise only sells certified preowned and that they are inspected. Then if they don't pass, they get sent to other used car dealers so they only sell the top of the top. So I trusted Enterprise. I needed to get a new car because my old car was falling apart and would not pass smog. At the time I had horrible credit so I had to finance with a company with high interest rates which I had accepted. But the whole reason I needed a new car was because I couldn't afford large amounts of maintenance and car repairs. Less than a month after getting the car, I had to replace both cabin and engine air filters which ran just under $60. After months of calling and being told, they would call me back and them failing to do so, I finally got a hold of someone and they sent a reimbursement check. But man did they make me practically beg for it. They also told me that I had a one year warranty, which in fact was true, but only powertrain nothing else. Well, surprise surprise 6 months into owning the car, the check engine light goes on. So I take it to a shop that I trust and they found the problem which altogether was about $2400 worth of repairs. The Assurant warranty only covered $1500 of it. So I am out of pocket about $1000 for repairs on the car that I haven't even had six months. On top of that, I had to do a transmission fluid flush, which was just under $300 because it was so gunky. It looked like it hadn't been inspected in a year. When I called back to talk to them about this, they said "you should've gotten the warranty. It would've covered all this." I was told I could add the warranty up to a year after I got the car. When I called to add the warranty they said I had to do it within 90 days after purchase. They said they were going to have the branch manager call me back well surprise surprise it's been 2 weeks and crickets. No call nothing. I'm so fed up at this point that I'm just done. They fooled me once and I will never be buying a car from them again. All I can do now is write this scathing review so hopefully nobody else goes through the same thing as I did.

However, I followed up a couple weeks later asking if a certain date worked. I even explained that I had been busy and said the only time I'd have to bring in the car would be the following week. I paid $450 for this wrap and an extra $100 for the wrap itself. When the first job was done poorly, I went back to the shop to address the issues and they said they would fix it. I texted on a Tuesday expecting a response, and I waited until Sunday to follow up again. Instead of Lisa taking accountability, she told me I "did not reach out," which is extremely unprofessional and untrue. I had apologized for being busy, and I did reach out; she just did not respond. When I reminded her the job was poorly done and how there had been no response, she took zero accountability and tried to use my words against me. Lisa ignored my response when I explained how the situation should have been handled and how she failed to reply in a professional manner. As the customer, I should not have to teach someone how to treat me correctly or how to run a shop professionally. I wasn't trying to start problems; I stated the truth about the situation, but she did not like that. I went back because I had already paid and just wanted the work corrected. I dropped my car off again on Monday around 11:30am. The shop texted me claiming the wrap "wouldn't adhere," which I knew was an excuse. I told them to proceed because the material was fine, and if they couldn't install it, that was their shop's error. The rest of my car's wrap was perfectly fine. To double-check, I contacted the previous shop, who confirmed this shop was making excuses, saying, "The wrap sticks just fine. It sticks on the rest of your car fine. They're talking nonsense." I knew they no longer wanted to service me, and I no longer wanted their service either. I paid a good amount of money for this treatment. I made sure the job would get done. The shop told me the job would be done by Wednesday late afternoon. This was the second time they confirmed a deadline and failed to meet it. I made it clear from the start that I have a busy schedule and cannot afford delays, yet they did not respect that. Removing and rewrapping a front bumper is a 1-2 day job, it is not like I was asking to wrap half the car. I set a boundary that if it was not ready by 5pm Wednesday, as they confirmed, I would request a refund. My whole car was wrapped, had parts added, brakes caliper color change, and badges blacked out in about a week. I took it to another shop before taking it here. (Dependable Guys in Santa Ana) I am not a professional, but I am not stupid. There were no photo updates either, I had to ask for them. When they finally sent a picture, the wrap looked freshly slapped on two days after I dropped the car off. The day I dropped it off, they said the wrap did not adhere. It looked like my car sat there for two days until I asked for the photo, or it took them two days to remove a month old wrap and throw on one big piece lol.. My car is a small sedan, a CLA, not a supercar or SUV. Her words were: "Ok we will remove all the wrap and give you your money back. Come and pick it up today." She added, "You are demanding the refund so come get it. We cannot accommodate the time frame for you. Thank you we will be gone by 5 so please make it in time so we can process the refund." However, Mark (the installer) had reached out to me and told me him and his co worker would come into work early to finish the job. This was the second time they broke their own deadline, and instead of taking accountability, she tried to flip it back on me. Lisa took everything personally when this situation should have been handled with professionalism. I never asked them to remove my wrap; I just wanted the job done properly. The installer Mark was professional, but Lisa was disrespectful, dismissive, and extremely immature in how she handled the situation. I told them to leave the wrap and keep the money. This was their mistake, which took up the free time I rarely have. Even after I explained my situation, reminded them of prior mistakes, and was patient with the delays, they still couldn't get the job done on time. I didn't want or need the money back; I needed my car back lol. It was clear they didn't take me seriously, and I was forced to escalate this further, which she didn't like either. This was waste of time and caused unnecessary stress. I was frustrated because I had to deal with unprofessional and immature behavior. All I got were excuses, missed deadlines, and poor communication. This business does not stand on its word or its service. Don't bring your car here. Many shops in OC offer far better service and professionalism. I recommend Dependable Guys in Santa Ana! It turns out the wrap sticks just fine and clearly they were making excuses... 3 weeks no issues.
