My Honda Odyssey had 205,000 miles on it and I was thinking about buying a new car. I'd test driven some vehicles and knew what I wanted to buy. But I kept procrastinating because I couldn't stomach the thought of going to a dealership and spending too much time with the back and forth haggling....Then I read a post on NextDoor where someone raved about using the services of an auto broker named Branco Motors. So I thought to myself, "Why not try them out"? instead of going through the Costco buying service that I'd been contemplating using. I spoke with Grant Ruthenberg and told him the model I was interested in. He explained the he receives a fee from the dealership but he'd be working to get me the best price. He got back to me the very next day with what I was looking for. Ever the skeptic, I ran his proposal and the invoice through ChatGPT and asked if I'd gotten a reasonable deal. ChatGPT answered, "FINAL VERDICT: This is a fair, clean, and pretty good deal. You could spend weeks calling dealers and possibly not do better. You're not being overcharged. The numbers match reality. And the transparency is excellent." So who was I to argue? I told Grant to go ahead with the purchase and he told me the car could be delivered the next day. I was informed about the ETA of delivery and given a more precise ETA as they had more info (the car was coming from Riverside and I'm in Bonita). Grant had me sign the paperwork and explained what I was signing when questions arose. I gave him the check and then we went out, sat in the SUV and he explained all the new features. He set up the Apple CarPlay and paired my garage door opener so that I no longer had to use the remote. When I no longer had questions about the Palisade he graciously moved my very heavy dog crates to the new car! Above and beyond! This is the best car buying experience I've had in my 71 years and I will be recommending Branco Motors to anyone in the market for a new car. read more

We worked with Grant to buy our new car, and he was fantastic! My husband and I hadn't bought a car in years, but with new twin teen drivers it was time. He made it very smooth, transparent, and stress-free. He handled all the details, kept us updated every step of the way, and even had the car delivered right to our house. We got the exact car we wanted, in our preferred color, with a discount, and within the time frame we were looking for. Thanks so much! read more

Grant made car buying enjoyable! I am beyond grateful for the time and effort that was put into finding the exact vehicle I desired. For as long as Branco Motors is around, they have a loyal customer here. Thanks again for making this possible! read more

Branco motors does a fantastic job! Grant found a car for me within days and delivered it right to my house. They're responsive and helpful, updating me with every step and answering all my questions. read more

Spoke with Art today and he is literally the kindest and most informative, honest and caring person I have ever met in the car/sales business. I have a 1996 bmw z3 that holds great sentimental value and it's come time to sell her. Art explained my options and what I'm responsible for as a seller. He also referred me to a great place to get it smogged and it passed with flying colors. Thank you Art for being such a cool person! read more

I worked with Grant on purchasing a new Volvo. I've decided I will never buy a car from a dealership again. In light of Covid it was nice not sitting in a dealership lobby for hours on end dealing with the back and forth pressure from every manager at the dealership. Grant made it so easy. I told him what I wanted and he found it. He delivered it straight to my door. Thank you, Branco Motors, for my new wheels right before Christmas. read more

Branco Motors - Car Dealers Near Me - San Diego, California

These guys are the consummate professionals! I truly cannot say enough positive things about my experience with both Mike & Grant. These gentleman helped me navigate my lease buyout. I am so thankful that I know that I no longer have to deal with a dealership...no hard sales, broken promises, and bait & switch just EXCELLENT customer service and results! read more

Just loved working with Branco Motors...Grant was exceptional!!! He found the exact car we wanted in less than a day. We had a real time crunch to be able to sign the paperwork and the car was coming from LA which made it more difficult. But within less than an afternoon he managed to have the car here for us. He was even able to buy my old car for more than CarMax offered. You won't get that typical car sales person push here...just honest and responsive assistance in what is normally a long & dreadful experience. I can't recommend them more highly!!! read more

Only amazing things to say about these guys. Truly and simply they are honest and good people. They bent over backwards more than I knew was even possible to make sure I had a positive experience with them. Grant, my main point of contact was responsive, extremely reliable, honest, and overall a really awesome guy. Branco is a true 5 star family business. read more

Hands down the most stress free and straight forward car buying option. I'm a repeat customer and again, Branco/Grant has proven they're going to get you the bottom line best deal they can. read more

I have not checked in for a while - but have now bought 3 more vehicles from Branco. I have also consulted with Mike and Art at Branco regarding purchases where they were not the best choice (my motorcycle purchase) and they advised me of the best way to go. I am now starting my first company vehicle purchases through Branco Motors and getting the same amazing advice and service as always. So if you see the company cars for "SAGE IT SYSTEMS" (with the Owl Logo) on the highway ... they came from BRANCO! - (Branco is not responsible for my driving, just the awesome looking cars.) I don't even start looking for a vehicle until i speak with these guys. read more

I cannot express my satisfaction enough in buying a car from Grant Ruthenberg of Branco Motors. I want to start by saying that I rarely ever write a review about anything online, but felt the need to express my satisfaction for this wonderful transaction. Grant is a true professional, and Branco never sells cars that overpromise and underdeliver. In fact I waited a few months to write this review, just to make sure there were no issues with the car, though it is 16 years old - but OUTSTANDING condition. Grant took care of every issue on the car, and even had a small service done while I was there - at his suggestion... He only sells PERFECT cars. Grant also sells new cars and often has long-term relationships with his clients, who turn-in older cars when buying a new one. In the sea of cliche and mediocrity within the Car business.... Grant is someone to trust and provide the utmost satisfaction when doing a car deal. Bravo! read more

Grant was very polite and professional and found us the exact car we wanted in a short time. And he was a really nice man. I highly recommend him. read more

I worked with Art on my new car and it was one of the best experiences I've had. I knew I didn't want to deal with a dealership directly so I found an auto broker. Art was honest, trusting, and straight forward with everything throughout the process. He even went above and beyond to help with some after-market upgrades on my new car. I wish I knew more people buying a car so I could send them their way! read more

My wife and I were planning to sell her car and weren't really sure how to do it, or if we wanted to do it ourselves. We called Mike to find out if he was interested in buying the car, which he was, and he talked to us about the process and value of the car. He shared with us that the best way to get the maximum value in the sale was to actually sell the car without him, because he would have to give us a slightly lower price in order to allow Branco to make money on the resale. My wife decided that's what she wanted to do. Mike then taught us how to sell the car, what to look out for when dealing with potential buyers, and gave us the docs we needed to complete the sale to someone. He went out of his way to help us, even though we did it ourselves. Selling the car turned out to be a hassle, but we eventually got a good price using Mike's recommendations. Thanks Mike. When we BUY our next car, we're not going to go through the whole process again. I'm just going to call Mike and "get'er done"! read more

I recently sold my car to Mike at Branco. He made he entire process easy as could be, and gave me top dollar for My car, more than CarMax. The next time I am looking for a car, I will look no further than Mike at Branco. read more

What a seamless, easy, and trustworthy process! Grant and Branco Motors absolutely delivered (pun intended). They did all the leg work to find a perfect vehicle for me and made the transaction seem like a breath of fresh air! read more

Exactly 3 years later, Art has gotten me another car of my dreams. Regular dealerships can't bet his pricing and service. Imagine never having to walk into another car dealership and/or dealing with one of their pushy sales people ever again?? Well, you don't have to anymore! Art delivers the car to you and you fill out the paperwork in the comfort of your own home. Don't worry, you still get a full training on all of the features of your new car too. I've done the research and I promise you, you can't beat his pricing. Thanks again Art!! read more

I met Mike about 5 years ago in our BNI chapter. Throughout those years I had heard many people rave about their experience with Mike when it came to buying a new car. I knew when the time was right that I would use Mike as well. Sometimes there isn't a right time to buy a car. My car died sooner than I had wanted but I knew I could call Mike to help navigate me through the "what to do now" process. He offered me advice on cars and helped choose the best car for me. I couldn't be happier! Mike delivered my brand new Honda Civic on a trailer to my work. He went over all the paperwork line by line. He was so thorough! Then he sat with me in my new car and explained every bell and whistle. Whether the time is right or not to buy a new (or used) car, don't exhaust yourself with the process. Call Mike at Branco Motors and he will do it for you! read more

We have bought 3 cars using the services of Branco Motors. Art has been great at listening to what our needs & wants are in a vehicle and then finding exactly the right thing. He also bought one of our old cars, and it was an easy transaction, leaving us with a new car and not having to hassle with selling the old one. If you're in the market for a new car, call him. He saved me $3000 on my new Nissan Rogue. If you're in the market for an older used car, he'll find it! They also get used cars checked out mechanically, which is really important and they detail it for you before you drive it away. Every time we need a car, we'll be using Branco Motors for sure. read more

Working with Grant was truly a pleasure. He is honest, professional and easy to work with. The whole process was seamless from start to end. Would absolutely work with him again and will recommend him to anyone that needs his services. read more

Can't say enough good things about Art, Mike and their team. I needed to sell two cars, a motorcycle and a tractor fast. I spoke to several companies and people and decided to go with Quick Cash 4 Cars aka Branco Motors. I was expecting to deal with a sleazy, shady people and got the opposite in Art and Mike. Art came to our property, checked everything out, was a straight shooter, personable and made us feel comfortable. Our situation was a little complicated and to Art, it was no big deal. He just rolled with everything. On haul-away day - which was the day after we made the deal, totally awesome - Art, Mike and their crew of strapping young men took everything away. My husband and I were amazed. In fact, Art is so honest that days later he followed up with via email to let me know the DMV charged me too much in fees on one vehicle and he was sending me a check. Who does that? Branco. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell their vehicle fast. read more

I recently was in an accident and lost my car. After talking to Mike at Branco Motors, I was able to maximize my settlement and also make a good choice for a new car. He helped me decide on a new car and took care of all the details including delivery of the car to me. This was the best car buying experience I have ever had. He saved me thousands of dollars. I highly recommend Mike and Branco Motors!!!! -Matt D read more

Art @ Branco Motors is the best in town. He will deal with all the dealerships for you, give you bottom line info, and get you the best deal. I will not buy or lease a vehicle anywhere else, and anyone would be wise to go through him for any vehicle needs you have. Nice, honest, fast, and no BS. You're missing out, losing money, and putting yourself through torture if you don't deal with Branco on your next auto transaction. read more

Art is the best by far! He helped my husband and I to purchase a new NX Lexus. WOW! Red carpet treatment! Seriously, not only did we get the best pricing ever, but he delivered the car to our house, had a rep from Lexus there to show us how to use the car, and then followed up with an email a few days later to check in. This is the only way to ever buy, or lease, a car! I highly recommend ART! Thanks Art!! =) Kathy C. read more

I called a number of car buying companies today and none of them wanted to buy my car as it is too old and needs a very specific market. However, Art at Branco Motors spent a lot of time with me on the phone, offering suggestions as to how I could sell the car and even looking up some going prices for the car to give me an idea of what I could get for it in other markets. If Art was this helpful and kind to someone that he knew he wasn't going to be buying from, I can only imagine how helpful he is to his actual customers. I will keep Branco Motors in mind if I have need of their services in the future! read more

Hands down this is absolutely the best place to get a car from. Art made my car buying experience so easy and quick. The paperwork probably only took 30 minutes, he didn't pressure me into buying a car and was so knowledgeable about everything which made the whole process a lot easier! I went to multiple other dealerships including large well known places and nothing compared to the experience I had at branco motors with art! He is the nicest and most honest person ever and it's hard to meet a lot of friendly non-pushy car salesman. I will definitely come back for any car buying needs I have! The whole car buying process can be difficult and boring at most places but here it is actually a great and easy experience!! If I could give an extra star I would! Highly recommend read more

From the start to the minute I received the keys to my new car, the entire process was seamless solely due to Grant Ruthenberg's incredible efforts, tremendous patience, skill, integrity, professionalism, communication, negotiation power and true care for his clients. I was very indecisive about my next vehicle and Grant went above and beyond to be patient and give me the time and space I needed while simultaneously assisting me in finding the right vehicle for me and my growing family. He was exceptionally responsive whether it be after 8pm, early in the morning or on weekends. As an attorney who works long hours, this made the process even more easy. I cannot say enough about Grant or Branco Motors. I have already sent other family members his way and I am highly confident he will take the best care of them, in addition to all friends I refer as well. I now drive the most amazing car, which is so safe for my family and young children thanks to Grant. He is the best of the best and you will not be disappointed from start to finish! read more

The process of buying a car can be intimidating, especially if you're a first-time buyer like I was. But working with professional, friendly, attentive, honest dealers not only provides some peace of mind, it also makes the process go much more smoothly. Branco Motors did this for me. I needed an affordable, dependable, economical car. I searched several websites (Craigslist, Autotrader, etc.) and stopped by a few dealerships, ultimately deciding against buying any of the cars I found, for a variety of reasons. Either the cars seemed to be priced way higher than their worth, or the dealerships carrying them had terrible reviews. Then I found a 2007 Toyota Matrix carried by Branco Motors. Great gas mileage, reasonable low mileage, great price (compared against Kelley Blue Book), lots of space to transport people or large items. This could be perfect! First, Art went out of his way to come meet me at their location on a Saturday to show me the vehicle, let me take a test drive, and answer several questions I had about the vehicle. I liked what I saw so I found the best deal I could to finance the vehicle and called him back a couple days later to get the ball rolling. He attended to all the paperwork quickly, and was very patient in answering all the questions that a first-time buyer had about the process. When everything was ready to go, he went out of his way yet again to deliver the vehicle to my house after I got off work (I believe we met at about 6:30pm, an hour and a half after their posted daily hours ended). We went through all of the remaining paperwork and he handed over the keys! It was SO much easier than I expected it to be, in huge part because he dealt with all of the DMV paperwork- HUGE plus, in my opinion. Again, buying a car is rarely easy. But these guys make it easy. If you're looking for a vehicle, I highly recommend at least talking to them and seeing what they have to offer. I can assure you that next time I'm in the market to buy a vehicle in SD, I will certainly be checking back in with them. Thanks again guys! read more

I highly recommend Mike and Art at Branco Motors! They make the often stressful prospect of purchasing a vehicle as simple and relaxed as possible. They have helped me purchase and lease a few personal vehicles for myself and my family. And they have helped my company acquire some hard to find Mercedes fleet vans, including working on a very tight schedule to make tax deadline. I appreciate all the knowledge and experience they bring, and I love the 'no hassle, no pressure' experience! I will continue to refer my friends and family to Branco Motors. Thanks guys! read more

I bought my car through Branco Motors. Art Boyan is so knowledgeable about the car buying process. I was kind of scared at first because it was my first time buying a car. He took me through the process and explained it to me on Lehman's terms. Afterwards, it all made sense and he got me a great deal! ... I compared it to other dealerships and his price beat everyone else's. HIs follow-up after the purchase was impeccable. I strongly suggest everyone to check out Branco motors before they go anywhere else to buy a new car. read more

I researched BMWs for over two months, test drove nine cars, and found Mike's offer to be by far the best. Mike believes in straightforward, haggle-free, honest, ethical business. Thus his offer was below the competition, even though the car was in the best condition and was fully loaded. I am absolutely overjoyed with my new car! Mike's a consummate professional and a great guy to work with. Hopefully you have the privilege of doing business with Mike as well. read more

Mike is a great asset to the car buying industry. I was in search of another car and he educated me on the pros and cons of each car I was looking at. In the end the whole car buying experience was easy and without any stress. I will never go to a dealership again as Mike and Branco Motors makes the buying experience pleasant. read more

Art came over and evaluated my car. His demeanor, attitude, advice and tips were all great. While he seemed honest and sincere, his offer on my car was $1,500 less than Carmax and $1,700 less than the dealer ultimately paid me. Also, he was not able to get me a better deal on the new car I wanted or better financing terms. It appears to me that Art would be awesome for the person who does not want to do the needed foot work to get the best deals out there. He can save you lots of time, effort and aggravation if you let him do it all for you. However, if you do it all yourself, you can get the best deals. read more
