    Do your homework and take it to your mechanic before you purchase any vehicle from them. I would recommenced getting the car fax report.

    Adventurous Autos - One of the vehicles I've bought from Sam.

    Damian and his brother Sam got me in and out in 15 minutes on a 2005 Chevy Tahoe that I had been…read morelooking for four weeks prior. They kept the process really simple. Customer Service - 5/5 Knowledge - 5/5 Integrity - 5/5 Trust Worthiness - 5/5 Sam upgraded my tires and fixed my wheel alignment concerns and did an excellent job of down selling me because I wanted to buy a $50,000 Harley Davidson Ford F150 that I didn't need ! Adventurous Autos is going to be my first stop when it comes time to buy my son a vehicle for college!

    So, had to help my daughter find a reliable AWD vehicle, and we actually INITIALLY had a very good…read moreexperience here. I messaged Sam about a particular vehicle and said we'd like to come look at it, and he also pulled out several other similar vehicles for us to look at. He told us to take it for a test drive, and take it wherever we wanted. There was absolutely no pressure to buy. My daughter really liked the first vehicle, so that's what we ended up wanting to purchase. Just use extreme caution with this place if you don't know much about cars or how to look them over. These cars come with zero warranty. He's just buying them at auctions and flipping them. Also, Sam told us he would send in the paperwork to have the car registered so we wouldn't have to hassle with that. Great. Ok. We knew there's some risk to this. After we purchased the vehicle, we drove it home, and the second we get home, it starts pouring coolant all over the place. It had a cracked radiator cap, but upon taking it to our mechanic, it was an additional $2000 to make her road worthy. Two or three weeks after our purchase, then Sam messages my daughter and gets her to Venmo $495 for registration. Seems high, yes? Yes. A couple months go by, (we purchased on Feb 6th), I see that my daughter's temporary plate is going to expire on May 7th, so I message Sam about the registration on April 21st to inquire. Here begins a month+ back and forth. He always responds to my messages, and says he will get back to me, but then doesn't do anything or get back to me. He's always nice, but nothing ever gets done. Two days ago my daughter and I go to the DMV and I message Sam on the way, to which he says that won't do me any good. Well, the DMV let me know that the fees were posted, but no paperwork was ever submitted! I forward this information to Sam and I quickly get a PHOTO of registration (at $337, mind you--a slight difference from what he charged my daughter), but a photo isn't going to do us any good. I asked to have it overnighted to us, but nothing yesterday, and nothing today. So, if you choose to buy from him, definitely do your own registration. Because it's been more than 90 days from purchase, the DMV said we have to open an investigation. Do I want to do that? No. But what choice am I left?? I mean, at this point, unfortunately, zero stars, really. This has been such a headache and hassle that was completely unnecessary. And STILL unresolved. Like I said, purchase date was Feb 6 and it is currently May 29.

    As a follow-up to my earlier review, I wanted to share an update…read more In addition to the cosmetic issues I originally mentioned, which were promptly addressed, I later discovered a discrepancy between the tire standards reflected in CarMax's public-facing 125-point inspection and the measurement process being used in practice. That is something I believe should be clarified for future customers. After I raised my concerns and provided supporting documentation, including Tesla's official OEM tire replacement guidance, management approved replacement of all four tires. Of course, I would have preferred brand-name replacements, but I felt this was a fair resolution and decided to move forward. To their credit, Manuel, Brandon, and the service team at CarMax Burbank handled my concerns professionally, and I appreciate that management ultimately chose to make it right. My constructive suggestion is simple: CarMax should clarify the tire standards listed under its 125-point inspection so they accurately reflect the measurement process being used. That would help prevent unnecessary confusion for future customers. I'd also strongly recommend that anyone purchasing a vehicle take detailed photos of the car on the day of purchase, and again before any service visit, in case questions come up later.

    If you are bringing your vehicle to CarMax Riverside for service, please be aware. My experience…read morewith this location has been the most unprofessional, frustrating, and careless service I've ever dealt with in the automotive industry. I picked up my transfer vehicle and immediately noticed cosmetic imperfections. CarMax chose to treat them under warranty, but once I got home, I found pinholes in the paint, a broken left taillight, and the start/stop service light on. I sent photos, and they scheduled me for the following week, saying they needed to "verify" the damage because they didn't trust their own service department. After inspecting the vehicle, they told me the taillight was on backorder, even though another dealer had it in stock. They insisted they had to use their local vendor. I dropped the car off the following Thursday. By Tuesday, they called saying the part was defective and needed to be reordered. They also said they couldn't handle the cosmetic work and would have to sublet it out. When I picked up the vehicle, the service advisor, Steven, gave me an excuse--but I immediately noticed they had installed a broken, used taillight. They scheduled me again. When I returned, they said the sublet shop had taken care of everything. That was not true. Upon pickup, I found new scratches and a dent. Steven said he would notify a manager. I called back and spoke with Bryan, who claimed he had multiple vendors who could fix the scratches and PDR the dent. I told him the scratches were too deep, but he insisted someone could handle it. I trusted him. The next day, I picked up the car--nothing was fixed, more damage was added from poor workmanship, and now my check engine light was on. I contacted corporate. Ariel promised a call the next day. No one called. I escalated to her manager, Dani. I told them I wanted the vehicle repaired at a certified shop because CarMax clearly didn't know what they were doing. They kept insisting I bring it back to the same location that kept damaging it. I called again and spoke with another manager, Rick, who said he could take me in--but not for nine days--even though I had already been there three times. He also admitted Steven and Bryan only told him about the warranty issue, not the damage their shop caused. Corporate was no help. I eventually reached the LGM, Tony. I explained the situation, the poor communication, and the fraudulent behavior. He said he would speak with Rick. They called me back and asked me to bring the vehicle in so they could "see the damage"--a full month after I purchased it. When I arrived, there was a man standing with his arms crossed like loss prevention. It turned out to be Bryan, the same manager who ignored my calls for five days. During the walk‑around, Rick immediately took an arrogant tone and told me, "It's a used vehicle, it will have scratches." I explained the damage occurred while the vehicle was in their possession. He claimed they had signs saying they weren't responsible for damage--signs meant for customers browsing the lot, not for service vehicles. He then asked how I knew the damage happened there. I asked why they attempted to fix it if they didn't cause it. He said it was "a courtesy." Their "courtesy" caused even more damage. When I tried speaking to Tony, he stayed silent while Rick dominated the conversation. Bryan then inserted himself, accusing me of being aggressive. When I told him he needed to be demoted, he became hostile, breathing heavily, and had to be physically held back by the other managers while threatening me. In the end, they told me I could either drop the vehicle off again for the check engine light or pay my deductible and go elsewhere. It has now been a month, and no one has called me back regarding the damage they caused, despite promising they would. CarMax Riverside has shown zero accountability, poor workmanship, dishonest communication, and unprofessional behavior from multiple managers. Rick needs training or demotion, Tony needs to retire, and Bryan should not be in a management position at all. Bunch of clowns.

    Skyline Auto Group - Leaking brake fluid on Genesis

    Bought a Genesis coupe 1 year ago from them. Went to…read moreinspect it and everything seemed fine. Did notice the wheel locks on the vehicle and I was told the lock was inside the car. Decided to buy the car the next day and did mention the lock again to Jawad , the person who attended me. I was assured that the lock was inside the vehicle. It's my part my fault for trusting them with it and not looking myself but there was in fact no lock. Had to pay to get them removed which was the first issue. $50+ per tire so total of 200$ to get em removed. 2 days later after having the car parked , I was going to take it out to use and noticed the brakes were not grabbing like the first day I bought it. Checked the brake level and it for some reason was not existent. There was none in the reservoir. Filled it up again and almost had a close call later that day. Checked again and all the liquid was gone in the matter of 2-3 hours of it parked. A vehicle with less than 20 miles of being bought had brake issues already ??? Had it checked out and the reservoir was leaking all the oil out. The reservoir was not original which means it was replaced before and they didn't install it correctly. They assured me as well that their in home mechanic checks every vehicle to make sure they are in working order. My life could have been ended due to a fault vehicle bought from their dealership. $300+ for that job... The wheel lock was not much of an issue but brakes .... Total paid in the first 3 days of owning the vehicle was $500+ dollars for stuff that shouldn't even be an issue if they do what they say they do. Don't buy from this dealership if you admire your own life. Don't trust their lies. Not worth it.

    Sold Me a Faulty Car - Zero Accountability…read more I purchased a Scion FR-S from Jawad Baloch at Skyline Auto Group, and it has been a complete disaster from day one. On the way home from the dealership, the rear bumper nearly completely detached on the freeway due to it not being secured properly. That should've been my first red flag. After returning the car for repairs, I received it back only to immediately be stranded on the freeway again--this time because the gas gauge wasn't reading properly and I unknowingly ran out of gas. This car has put me in unsafe situations multiple times now, and it was supposedly "ready to drive" when I bought it. To make matters worse, my license plates--which were inside the vehicle when it was dropped off for service--were missing when the car was returned. It's been a month now and multiple attempts to contact the dealership, and I have been completely ignored. No one is responding. I had to file a police report as stolen just for any hope to get my license plates back. As if that wasn't enough, the car now has a check engine light and multiple diagnostic codes, including: * P0455 - Large EVAP system leak (so far we know the fuel pump completely gave out and the car was rapidly leaking gas.) * U0122 - Lost communication with Vehicle Dynamics Control Module * U0140 - Lost communication with Body Control Module * U0073 - Control Module Communication Bus A Off These aren't minor issues--these are critical electronic communication errors that affect the safety and functionality of the vehicle. The fact that this car was sold in this condition is absolutely unacceptable. Do not trust this dealership. Their cars are unsafe, their service is nonexistent, and they take no responsibility once the sale is done. I wish I had never done business with Skyline Auto Group.

ERIC is a rude, incompetent, condescending, arrogant, jerk- with 0 customer service skills. Britney ( in the loan dept) was AMAZING, she helped all she could. The district manager was spectacular! Handled it all and even covered the rental Eric said was "impossible to provide". Eric should be fired for the way he handled this. I do NOT recommend dealing with Him in any capacity. If you must go there ask for BRITNEY- she provided wonderful customer service. Edited: Lisa if YOU would like to contact me, feel free to reach out- Contact britney she has all of my information. And she knows exactly who I am so it won't be too difficult for you.

We let him know we were only there for an appraisal, and he immediately got to work with no pressure to trade in the vehicle or purchase another one. He was efficient, professional, and respectful of our time. While some paperwork was being processed, we walked around the lot and noticed they had a great selection of vehicles; however, our main goal was simply to get rid of our car payment. We then had the pleasure of working with Ivory (I believe that was his name), who made the entire car-selling process incredibly smooth. He was professional, well-mannered, and polite throughout the experience. Enterprise ended up offering us more than what we owed on the vehicle, which made the decision an easy one. This experience also reinforced why we returned to Enterprise -- a few years ago, we purchased a different vehicle through them, and that process was just as easy, with no pressure or forced sales tactics. Every employee we interacted with was friendly and respectful, and at no point did anyone try to push us into buying a car. Overall, it was a stress-free and positive experience, and I would definitely recommend this Enterprise location.

The entire process was easy, transparent, and genuinely stress-free. Their no-pressure, no-haggle approach was a breath of fresh air. No sales tactics, no awkward negotiations, and no feeling like you have to earn a black belt in bargaining just to buy a car. Edmund was fantastic from start to finish. Friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly easy to work with. He made us feel comfortable, answered every question, and never once made us feel pressured into anything. That's a rare find these days. Then we met with Paul in finance. Having grown up with family in the car business, I came in asking probably more questions than the average customer. Instead of getting frustrated, Paul was patient, understanding, and completely transparent every step of the way. He took the time to explain everything, never rushed us, and made sure we were comfortable before signing anything. That kind of honesty and professionalism goes a long way. This was hands down one of the easiest and most enjoyable car buying experiences I've had. If you're looking for a dealership that treats you like a person instead of a sales quota, Hertz Car Sales Riverside is it. 10/10. Five stars. I'd happily recommend them to friends and family.

However, the rotors wasn't there so I had to wait until they arrived, when they arrived, I was told I would have to come back another day because they were closing in 30 minutes after I set for three hours.
