I would like to offer up a shout-out to Jose who does the auto detail at BK Motors in Half Moon Bay. He is a true gem who has done high quality work on every vehicle we have had him detail, in particular those vehicles that we have put up for personal sale. He is meticulous in getting to every nook and cranny in the vehicle and finishes it all off with an excellent coat of wax. Please give him a try if you are in the Half Moon Bay area and need to have a vehicle detailed. You will not be disappointed! read more

The detailing on my car made it look brand new. Everyone so cordial, friendly and professional. Plus - my car wouldn't start and they were so helpful in getting it towed, especially Bob. Great service. Can't say enough good things about this outfit. Thank you! read more

I have had my cars detailed here and also sold a few cars with Bob. Overall he's a very honest guy and his detail team are the best in the buiness. I have been going here for many years and they are very trusworthy. They are not as cheap as say a car wash but they do work that is well beyond what a car wash will do for you. read more

I had a unique issue where water came into my car and it was a mystery as to where it came from. Bob and his team took his time with a diagnosis, went the extra mile to get to the root of the issue, and fixed the leak along with cleaning up the damage. The car looked in peak condition after the work and communication throughout the process was impeccable. The original quote was the exact price I was charged so appreciated the transparency. Really happy I found a local shop that I can trust to do great work. read more

With Portuguese heritage, I had to try out the Malasadas at Tex. They were very good. My dining companions had Malasadas with chocolate cream, another had them with apple filling, mine was enjoyed with only sugar. Everyone reported them to be delicious and a nice morning treat on our way to Hilo from Waikoloa Village. read more

Hey all, I recently got my 99' Suburban done by BK Motors and I can't recommend them enough. The time they spent detailing my vehicle was shocking, they cleaned & painted my wheel wells and even waxed and detailed my bike rack on the back! Weather you live on the coast or over the hill coming here to get your vehicle detailed is worth your time. Bob and his team are really great to work with. read more

Talk about a great guy you're talking about Bob K He straight up, I bought a vehicle there two years ago the things still runs like a champ.Ive had to sync some money into it only because it's the best off-road 4 x 4 four-door vehicle out there it's a 2005 GMC 6.6 Duramax with a banks turbo done by half-moon bay auto and I have never been so impressed or had so many people love on that truck. As long as you keep this truck up and fine-tuned it'll run to 1,000,000 miles I've already been told that by two mechanics great vehicle thanks Bob hope all is well!!!! read more

Very friendly business, def would recommend! read more

We met Bob yesterday when we came in to check out the cars and also look into selling one of ours -- B.K. is a consignment dealer. Bob is super friendly and great to talk to. He obviously knows his stuff and has a very comprehensive set of guidelines for anyone considering selling their car through his business. His prices seem more than reasonable and he also takes steps to ensure all cars sold on his lot are checked out ahead of time in order to protect everyone involved. It's a great system and I think we'll be signing up once we get our car serviced (anyone in the market for an '06 Mustang??)....Plus, an added advantage for anyone selling a car is exposure. Bob's lot is right next to the busy intersection of Rtes. 1 & 92, so there is a TON of traffic throughout the day. Your vehicle is bound to get noticed fast. My favorite thing about our visit though was the resident KITTIES!!!! Lambchop and Missy live on the premises and are super sweet & adorable. Even if we decide not to sell the Stang, I'm pretty sure I'll be a frequent visitor anyway so I can see the small fuzzies!! read more

Just bought a used car from BK Motors. Great price, clean car and the vehicle that suits or needs at a fair price. No pressure, no BS. Just excellent service and respect. Could not have been more pleasant and easy. Bring your checkbook so you don't have to pay Visa/MC fees. Nice doing business with you Bob and great photos on the walls and good stories to go with them. read more

I have to update my review to 5 star. He did follow up and send me the new sticker, but I still wish they can return all my phone calls !!!

I attempted to contact B K about a a car they had for sale. I called on a Wednesday early afternoon and got an answering machine. I left a very detailed message about the vehicle i was interested in and left my call back number. I did not receive a call back from the dealership, so the following day i again called the dealership to inquire about something i had seen on a Carfax that was not the same as the details listed for this particular car. This time i spoke with Bob and told him about the difference in the information. Bob said he would get me a copy of the work order about the information listed. I gave Bob my email address and phone number, he said i would get the information the same day. Here we are two days later and crickets. (no response, via phone or email.) So either Bob is not being truthful about the cars condition or he is not a very customer service oriented sales person. In closing he might be ok for someone who walks onto the lot, but for someone who might want to buy a vehicle and is 150 miles away he is TERRIBLE with follow up. Thats it for now, good luck with this dealer and Bob! read more

I sold my Infiniti convertible using BK Motors as Bob Kay is totally honest, conscienctious and upfront about every aspect of the transaction. He is absolutely NOT your "typical" car salesman. Everything went very easily and quickly. I received the agreed upon value of the car. There is a reason this business has successfully functioned for 40 or so years, and that his business is 85% return business. read more

My husband called Bob (owner) to inquire on the cost for cleaning a very dirty and old car in preparation to sell. My husband asked for the max price we may have to pay (very dirty). We didn't want to drive to HMB (30 min each way) if the price was not right. He told us that the max would be $295. We made an appointment and drove there (2 cars, since we were leaving one car there and had to go pick it up). Once we got there, Bob changed the price to $450 even though we asked him for the max price on the phone. He said he told us that he needed to look at it when he gave us the price. But that is incorrect as we would not have taken the car to him if there were any doubts on the price. We didn't give him our business because I believe that if you cannot trust a person's word, you should not deal with them. read more

Bob detailed my horse trailer recently and it looks terrific! The trailer had been sitting outdoors for several years, unused, so it had a significant layer of grunge. Bob's folks were careful with the power washer but got the trailer very clean, made some small repairs and figured out the appropriate wax or protectant for the different trailer finishes. Thank you! read more

Can I give it 10 stars? For my birthday my wife got me an auto detailing at BK motors. At the time, I have to say, I thought What is the point? My truck is a beater -- but wow what a difference. It looks so good now, I honestly drive it a little slower, out of new respect for this truck. I thought detailing meant cleaning, but here it meant transformation. Thank you! read more

A trusted source recommended Bob to me and I had mixed feelings about our interaction. On the plus side I think he is a nice guy and gave me a solid number when discussing what he'd pay for my car. On the minus side he gave me a lowball, wholesale figure which I was not interested in at all. Granted, that is the name of the consignment game, right? He's buying at wholesale and selling at retail. But what really made a lasting impression on me were the things he said during our discussion about selling the car. He was very fear-based, almost as if he thought he could scare me into selling my car to him. He said, "Well you just keep plugging along then. You know the value will just keep dropping. Be careful you aren't trying to sell this car next year...." as if I were trying to sell a 1973 Pinto. I wasn't. I was selling (and have since sold!) a 2008 Infinity G35S with 3 out of 4 premium packages on it! This car was loaded with features and was in exceptional condition because I loooooooved the car and took good care of it. Luckily for me, I am not fear-based; I am strategic. And I talked to different people in my own network who I thought would be interested in a gently used high-performance sedan. Good thing too as I now have $3000 more than I would have if I consigned the car with Bob. That said, there is a time and place for consignment. If you just want to sell your car, and price isn't really that important but convenience is, Bob was the nicest guy I met out of all of the consignment shops I visited. Selling a car is not for the faint of heart and you have to stick with it to close that sale. I personally like a challenge and to keep more money in my pocket when I am selling a gorgeous, well-maintained vehicle. Most importantly, I know what's what and there is no reason to give away a very valuable car (despite what someone might say to the contrary!) when you can just put in a little more effort and reap the rewards yourself. read more

I have purchased and sold my car with BK Motors. Bob Kay, the owner, is such a nice guy. I know that shocking as he is a car salesman, but it's true. BK Motors is a consignment car dealership. You can get your car detailed and bring it in or they can do it for you. The average price is about 200 bucks and includes a full detail, paint touch ups, popping out dents, etc. His consignment fee is ridiculously reasonable as he does everything for you. Everything. If you have a car loan, he takes care of paying it off. If your car is from out of state (which mine was), he takes care of all the paperwork (and you would be surprised by the paperwork required to sell a car). Bob Kay is a small business owner who lives in the bay area. He is honest and straightforward (which is why he gets so many repeat customers). If you need someone to deal with selling your car and all the extra time and details that go with it, I highly recommend him. In addition, he has some great deals on cars and the prices seem to be really fair. read more

I've been taking my vehicles to BK Motors for about a year now. My brother bought a car from him years back and he was happy with the experience. I got my parents 93' Volvo 960 detailed there as a mother's day present. It came back looking like it had just rolled off the showroom floor. I did it while they were out of town and had difficulty working out the transportation after I dropped off the car and picking it up at the end of the day. Bob gave me a ride in the BK car both times. I get my car cleaned there every so often. The $30 hand wash. I drive 100 miles a day for work and my car gets dirty pretty fast. After taking my Christmas tree to the dumps there were pine needles all over the interior. After they cleaned it, my car was perfect. Inside and out! Bob is a pleasant, honest, upfront person. He's also very intelligent. I've sold vehicles off Craig's List. For every legit email I got, I recieved 10 from people trying to con me. When it comes time to sell my Masarati I'm going to have BK Motors do it for me. Zero stress, zero wasted time. It's totally worth it. read more

What can I say; Bob Kay at BK Motors is great. My wife and I have had him sell one of our cars and we have bought two from him with great ease. He is professional with a small town feel. BK Motors also does detailing. I've got to say one of the better detailing centers in the bay area. I have a truck that I put in shows and they do a top notch job. The complements I get from people says it all. Buy, sell, and auto detailing BK Motors is the place to go hand down. Thanks Bob, we are sure glade to have a company like yours in Half Moon Bay. read more

B K Motors - "Twitches" 2000 Ford Lightning - Car Dealers Near Me - Half Moon Bay, California

So, I brought my sister's car in to be detailed. This was not an ordinary job: She lives in the middle of a field, has multiple animals ("multiple" hereinafter defined as "think of a reasonable number of animals for a person who does not run a shelter to have, then multiply that by a number between 3 and 5"), and transports all kinds of things in her car. The car was filthy outside and every interior surface was covered in dust, hay, and innumerable random items. These included, but were not limited to, seven pieces of clothing, six random weird things [swim goggles, a bow tie, two sets of binoculars, expired food], five types of lip balm, four ancient notepads, three useless squeegees, two broken brushes, and a check register from 2013. Hum it to the tune of the Twelve Days of Christmas . . . We had some excellent reasons to suspect that there were mice and/or rats living somewhere in the car . . . I made an appointment, apologized for not emptying all the stuff out of the car first (I didn't even attempt to move or organize anything) and dropped it off. The next morning I picked up a completely immaculate car. Not only was all the hay and other questionable filth gone from the interior, but the contents had been separated into clothes-type items and other stuff, one bagged and one put in a box. Every inch of the car was spotlessly clean. Not only that, they took it upon themselves to pound out a large dent and fill some of the other dings on the exterior. All for less than the price I used to pay at Ducky's to detail my already by comparison ridiculously clean car. I am absolutely a HUGE fan for life. I should have taken before and after pictures, because this detail was truly epic. read more

I've had Bob sell a couple of my cars over the years and really makes the process effortless. However today I stopped for a detail. His staff does an unbelievable job. The car looks brand new! Bob loves what he does and it shows. read more

I stopped in to see if I could get a quick car detail. I met the owner and he was a really nice and approachable guy. I stopped 8n late in the day and although he could not fit me in as a walk in I will be back. The place is clean and organized...yhe bonus is a few of the vintage cars he has for sale on consignment that are fun to look at. A place that makes you want to come back after leaving is a place worth patronizing in the future. read more

I have purchased 4 cars to date from Bob, and we still have them all. I have purchased a 2003 convertible Cobra, 2003 Audi RS6, Chevy Volt, and Subaru Outback. As you can see he sells all sorts of cars, and he stands behind each one. Buying from him is a breeze. He is a low-no pressure salesman and is transparent and honest with all cars he sells. He also runs a top flight detail shop captained by Jose, who genuinely cares about making each car you bring look its best. I look forward to future dealings with BK Motors! read more

While chaperoning a field trip, I had a 9 year old get car sick all over the interior of my 4 year old Subaru, even on the console, radio, steering wheel...I know, gross... - I had seen BK Motors signs and called to see about making an appointment. Bob returned my call immediately and was able to take my car in the same day. He explained the options for detailing and I decided to have the exterior done as well - what a great decision - the car looks absolutely new! The exterior is so smooth you slip if you try to lean on the hood! His detailer got every scratch out - I never imagined it could look that good Even the engine is now spotless! More importantly, the interior smells remarkably brand-new and there is not a trace of anything left behind. He took out the console to clean every part of it, and I can't believe how he got it so clean and odor-free. The leather chairs are back to being soft and supple like when I bought it. The price was very fair and so worth it - I'll be coming back to do business with Bob again at least once a year, or possibly after the next field trip ;-) So worth the money! read more

Great place to buy a car. I bought a Ford Transit van, the vehicle was perfect, and Bob walked me through all the details smoothly. Bob is excellent at what he does. I could make this a longer review and list all the details, but short and sweet, I'll come here first the next time I want to buy. read more

I purchased a Mazda Miata from Bob just a few weeks ago. It was, by far, my best experience in purchasing an auto. Most sales guys are smarmy and pressure you to buy; not Bob. He was honest, polite, quick and friendly. The whole transaction took almost no time at all and the car is AWESOME! I have a friend who is looking for a car and I have already recommended Bob! You won't be disappointed. read more

I have to say Bob is by far the only person i trust when purchasing a car. Over the past 5 years my mom and i have purchased a total of 4 cars from BK Motors. Two mini coopers, BMW and recently a Honda CRV. All the cars have been amazing. The customer service that Bob gives is above and beyond the call of duty but he is HONEST and upfront with any question, concern and the purchasing process is a breeze. Being a local for decades i will never go any were else for a car! Thank you Bob and your lovely Dad for all you have done for my mom and I. YOU ARE AWESOME**** read more

Bob is great to work with, very friendly and straightforward. I was delighted to learn that he sold gift certificates, so I got my hard-to-buy-for husband a full detail on his truck for his birthday. Jose and his colleague did an amazing job. This old truck that had been outside for years and that had never been cleaned looks almost new now! read more

I'm a Bay Area native of 57 years with 4 years living on the coast. Bob of BK motors is also a Bay Area native and knows what it means to be ethical and at the same time provide a great experience. I had my 2012 Jeep detailed before I was going to sell it. Bob and his team did such a good job it made me second guess selling the Jeep. It came out that nice! I'm meticulous as they come and can even be pretty anal but Bob and team exceeded my expectations when I picked up the Jeep. There's a reason he's been in business as long has he has. And Half Moon Bay is a small town and word gets around one way or the other. In his case, it is all good! We need more people like Bob on this planet. read more

I will start by saying that I DO NOT BUY NEW CARS! Also, I am very leery of small, "FLY BY NIGHT" car lots. I work on the coast and drive by BK Motors several times a day. So, when a friend told me he bought a car at BK Motors and how happy he was I was somewhat surprised. Then I started to pay more attention to the cars for sale at BK, because I too was in need of a new one. Then it happened, my car gave out and I gave in. I pulled in to take a look and I left in a 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. WOW!!!!! Bob Kay was, without a doubt, ANYTHING but a "CAR SALESMAN" and his dealership is ANYTHING but "FLY BY NIGHT!" Bob is very personable and easy to talk to. The car sold itself, as Bob is very selective of what he takes in to sell. I feel I got a great car at a great price. Squeaky clean does not begin to describe the amazing detail work done by Jose! He is a credit to his profession! Would I buy from BK Motors again?? ABSOLUTELY!! Thanks again Bob for the service you provide! read more

I highly recommend Bob at BK Motors for the purchase and sale of your cars. He went above and beyond when it came to selling our 2006 BMW Z4. For starters, the detailing shop made it look like new. And, Bob took it upon himself to source the best mechanic with the lowest rate to fix a couple of items that needed fixing. In addition, he spent his own time researching a better price for what would have been a very expensive part and got it for us for a fraction of the cost. When the car sold the new owner realized the A/C wasn't working properly and Bob took care of it. He is honest, ethical and can be relied upon to take fantastic care of you. Look no further when selling your car - he took ALL the hassle out of it for us. read more

After driving by BK Motors multiple times and seeing a regularly changing inventory of well maintained cars for sale, we decided to sell our BMW X3 over BK Motors. Bob (the owner) is easy and fun to work with and has a lot of experience in selling used cars. The mandatory detailing was absolutely worth the money and our car sold within the estimated time frame of 2 weeks. Bob and BK Motors kept all their promises and our experience was absolutely stellar. I highly recommend BK Motors! read more

I have known Bob Kay for 2+ years we have lived in Half Moon Bay. I rented an outside storage space for my car hauler for several months which is how I got to know Bob. After a recent road trip of over 5K miles to Illinois, Wisconsin and Wyoming, my new F-250 was completely filthy and the front covered with bugs. I talked to Bob about detailing and he of course said they could do the job and it would look like new. We agreed on the cost and due to my having foot surgery and that I live around the corner, Bob picked my truck up from my home. That evening he returned my truck and it was as good or better than he described. My F-250 did indeed look as if it just come off the showroom floor and not a spot was missed, inside and out. If you need a thorough and professional detailing B & K Motors is the place! read more

I just sold my second car with BK Motors. Last year I sold my BMW X3. I had just moved here from the East Coast and had Ct. plates and registration. Before I took the car to BK, I did all the running around: went to DMV and did all the paperwork and paid for new registration, not realizing that if I brought it to BK Motors they would have done it all. Their fee to try to sell your car is reasonable considering all they do to get your car sold: detailing, advertising, exposure of car in a great place (Hwy 1 and 92). Aside from the ease of selling your car, the owner Bob is great. He takes a personal interest in you and tries to make the deal equitable for himself and the seller. I so enjoyed doing business at his office. His dad is there most of the time, such a nice gentlemen, and the office is filled with fascinating pictures of his father when he was a pilot. Also being a cat lover, I got to meet the two friendly resident cats. This may seem like foo foo stuff, but it really made selling my cars a real pleasant experience. So as I mentioned earlier, I just sold my second car through Bob. My son was with me when I went to pick up the check for the sold car. My son may be in the market for a used car in the near future. Bob gave him some excellent advise and said he would do his best to get him what he is looking for when he is ready. I wouldn't go anywhere else for a used car. read more

Bob has great deals and is very easy to work with. I am definitely buying my next car from Bob. I do all his smogs and let me tell you I have never had any issues with any of them. I cant believe how many deals come through my smog bay just wish they hadn't sold before I saw them. Very honest and he goes above and beyond to make his customers happy. read more

I have just had a wonderful experience having Bob at BK Motors sell my car. This is the first time that I have had anyone sell my used vehicles. Bob is very personable and very FAIR. He gave my wife and me more than we could have haggled from a prospective buyer. If you take care of your vehicle, keep service records and don't want to risk getting ripped off by Craigslist abusers, let BK Motors sell your vehicle. read more

Over the past decade or so we've bought 3 cars and sold one through BK Motors. Bob has consistently dealt with us fairly. The car we purchased most recently did have a number of problems which surfaced in the month after we bought it. The repairs came to about 20% of the price we paid for the car. We told Bob about the problems we experienced, and he proposed a very fair settlement where he paid a substantial portion of our repair expenses. He was under no obligation to do this, and we certainly appreciated his desire to make our transaction a positive one. read more

Bob is a super nice guy, honest, straightforward and trustworthy. We recently bought a used BMW from him and the whole deal was pleasant and painless, just how buying a car should be! I would recommend buying from him in a heartbeat. We love his kitty as well! read more
