The Service Dept., most especially Mel Santiago was our favorite Service Advisor. He explains each & every service that the vehicle needs. If the total repair will cost thousands of dollars, then he will prioritize which one are needed immediately & which one can wait & he will give the best estimate mileage when to bring it back for the rest of it to be done. This is my motto: You will only meet & get to know the Sales Representative once when you're buying a car but you will get to know & deal with the Service Advisor for years to come as long as you own a Honda. Cheers to Service Advisor Mel Santiago, you are so nice, soft spoken & treats customers as family!! More power to you!!

UPDATE: Sheriff Demetri, the manager of El Cerrito Honda, is a great guy. He took time to sit down…read moreand talk to me about the problems I was having getting defective material fixed in my Honda. Honda has a District manager named Larry O'Brien. His actions nearly lead to litigation. He denied a claim and refused to provide any substantial evidence to support that decision. If everyone at Honda were like Larry O'Brien, I would never have anything to do with the company. In addition, my contacting the main office in Torrance, California, was one of the most frustrating experiences I've had in a long time. I got such a runaround from them. I'm happy that I decided to go talk to Mr. Demetri. Fortunately, I think the problem will be resolved satisfactory due to him. Because it's not yet finished, I'm only giving four stars. Check back in for an update to see if I'm as enthusiastic in a couple of weeks!

It's rare to describe a used car dealer as DELIGHTFUL, but Sam is delightful. I highly recommend Sam and Auto import Sales.

I don't often write one star reviews, but I wanted to share my experience to caution potential…read morebuyers to have any vehicle offered by this dealer checked over by an unaffiliated qualified mechanic. This dealership did not describe the condition of the car accurately, and allowed a test drive of a vehicle with apparent mechanic and safety issues. Called the dealership and made an appointment to test drive a 2009 Maserati Gran Sport. A close friend of mine wanted to fly in and drive the car home so I agreed to check it out and be a part of the transaction. Spoke with Matt on the phone who assured me the car was in 'mint' condition and that there were no issues with the car. I originally planned to view the vehicle within 24h, but was told the car was at another dealership being shown, but would be 'back soon because he had five other people inquire about it'. No problem, I had expected that maybe a car of this age/caliber, even with a low 51000 miles on it probably needs some work before being offered, and was willing to accept the car with some flaws if the price was right. Showed up two days later with my GF, about 30 mins late to my scheduled test drive (I appreciate the flexibility on a Friday). I was greeted and did a walkaround of the car before going inside. Noticed the under dash panel was missing from the driver side, a cluster of buttons were broken on the dashboard and sunken in, and a parking sticker from the previous owner remained on the window. Ok, maybe it was in for service? The Check Engine light was still illuminated, however Neither Matt nor the salesperson who went on the test drive acknowledged the other person, my GF, with me. It was like she was invisible. Rep made some questionable comments about women while we were on the test drive. Made us raise our eyebrows and ask "what year is it again?" The rep on the test drive talked the entire time - was hard to concentrate on the vehicle condition but did quiet down after I asked him twice. What I was able to discern: the car sounded awesome. It is a Maserati after all, but had been in at least one front end collision. The alignment was off and the car pulled to one side. The rep on the test drive told me they fixed it at the shop. Fender and hood did not line up, front bumper and grill had visible damage, and distance sensors were going haywire on the test drive. Between this and the CEL, I expected this maybe from a $5000 car on Craigslist, but not a $30k car being offered by a business with such a high Yelp rating. Got back to the dealership to talk to Matt, find out what the story was with the damage and perhaps make a deal given the flaws of the car. Went to park the car, and the parking brake was not functioning. Major safety issue, and probably the final straw. Matt was first very dismissive when I told him of the issues with the car, insistent that it was in reasonable condition. When I pressed Matt, while remaining courteous, about the accident damage and apparent effects on the radar/distance sensors up front, he became very combative and rude. He did not offer to look at the issues I mentioned and raised his voice. Because of their unwillingness to accept responsibility and put a potential customer at risk in a vehicle with apparent safety issues, I cannot recommend this business and would caution anyone in the market for a European automobile to purchase elsewhere.

If you plan on buying a used car, the first place to check out is Wholesales Motors. Below are the…read morereasons. 1-No used or new car dealership has a lower overhead than Wholesales Motors. It has one employee, Frank Bent, who owns the dealership as well. Unlike other dealerships which try to mimic five star hotels in appearance, Wholesales Motors has an office which can accommodate one customer at a time. 2-Frank Bent is the sales consultant, assistant sales manager, vice president, president, and owner of Wholesales Motors. So when you are negotiating the price of the car, you will never hear, "I need to speak to the manager." Frank does it all, from selling the car to the paperwork. 3-Wholesales Motors offers a discount on cars bought for cash. 4-Frank is very easy to talk to and is honest, more so than Abe Lincoln. You will never hear Frank say, "You look like nice folks so I will give you the manager's discount" "OR " "what will it take for you to buy this car?" You will have a very pleasant experience at Wholesales Motors whether you buy your car there or not. Try it, you'll like it."

Luay spoke with me and I was impressed by his frank appraisal of the car and general attitude. I showed up at 10 AM and Luay was ready with the key and had the car prepped and looking good. This car is a 2016 Honda Fit with just over 98k miles. It has some cosmetic imperfections, as any car that age does. But after a thorough test drive, i felt that this car would serve us well. Luay and I reached a deal quickly, and i drove the car home. I bought this car on the 9th, but wanted to give it some time in case any issues arose. None have, and I am super-pleased with our new vehicle. And even more -- this was one of my best ever dealings with a car dealer. When you're looking for a good used car, give Luay a call. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. I know I wasn't!

Did not buy a car from them. Their pricing is unrealistic for the market…read more Was shown a used 2019 Subaru Impreza Premium. There was visible extensive unfixed body damage on the car on the rear panels with dents, scratches and rust from accidents not reported on the Carfax. It would have required several thousands of dollars of bodywork if I had bought it as is for $16k. I was told the car was a California car when I asked. It was not. It was originally from Washington state. I asked for lower price and tried to negotiate a lower price. They were not flexible on negotiation. I don't want to pay $16k for a car with damage from 1-2 unreported accidents, even if it was fixed. The long term value of the car will be impacted if I go to resell. They reacted like their prices and services are special and don't have to be inline with the Carfax and the market. As a woman buying a used car, I found them condescending and arrogant. I am the one who makes the big money, manages it and makes big purchase decisions. Not my husband. The thing is I can easily find a comparable car elsewhere for the same or lower price with no accidents and damage and buy it. It's called the Internet. If I'm buying a $16k car from a national brand dealership, I am expecting a car to be in good condition ready to go out the door with no repairs. I don't wish to be inconvenienced by costly repairs and wait times. So I will not be buying a car from Albany Subaru. I was also looking at other cars there, I had a budget. I don't feel like they are upfront with their customers, flexible nor truthful. I am unsure of the their cars at the same $16k price point -- as if they might also have similar issues. I don't feel like wasting my time.
