I'm updating my yelp review, due to hopefully putting this whole situation behind us, we stood in front of a judge today, my faith & prayers were answered and this mega mind in ripping people off has been answered, Mr. Roberts has to pay for the repairs to our vehicle. People get the word out and stop this crook from staying in business DO NOT BUY CARS @ CARMART in National City,Ca. It has been a nightmare to work with this man. Thank you in advance for everyone who took the time to read & share. What could I say, I wish I was updating this review to tell you that there was a positive outcome, that Mr. Ben Roberts was willing to do the right thing. The night I wrote the first review he reached out and said to let's try to figure something out. That maybe he could get an approve to go 50/50 to have the car repaired, and I agreed to do it cause I wanted our repaired. But days went by and nothing. So I spoke to the auto repair shop where the vehicle has been and ask them to get me an estimate in writing so I could present to Mr. Roberts. So I reached out him again, and again til finally he reached out to me. I shared with him what the auto shop had given me. And they are had said they could repair the car with a used motor for $6,200 give us a year warranty on the motor and he declined and said "NO" we had to go through people he knew. The estimated he had was for $7,500, but didn't want to share where, how many mileage the motor had and won't provide nothing in writing, and he declined and starting yelling at me that I was too demanding and he was going to do it his way. ..and my response was that why we're in the situation were in because we trusted you the first time around with taking care of noise that the car had.(we didn't need in writing, we had his word) And his responded was it was out of courtesy. Lol. So I reached out to a place that would be willing to mediate between the two of us, because I could not tolerate how this person wants to continue to be disrespectful and pushy. I could not handle it anymore, along with mourning my loved ones (a niece, my grandfather and a very special family friend)...I didn't have the strength to continue basically begging him to take care of what should be done right the first time. And he declined working with them. After he declines he messages me again about the story of us racing the car home, on freeways we don't need to take to get home, shady of him and his so call call Mickey Mouse mechanics...I will definitively give you guys a update because this situation will have to be escalated to the next step...I hope people stay away from this place and hope there is a positive outcome for us like there was for them when we handed them a 14,500 check.....ty for taking the time to read.

Super fast and great experience. I love my ol truck and we have been through a lot. Good times, bad times, fun times. Road trips, drive ins, picking up all my drunk friends being an uber driver before uber existed. Don't think my truck qualifies as an uber though. Too many band stickers on the back and it's dirty, and there's a dent on the side that I refuse to fix. Anyways, enough about my truck that nobody cares about, it's out with the old and in with the new, and this was the place to do it. I came here and got a very good price, good service and they even recommended an insurance company. The owner Ben knows what he is doing and he is very helpful, sometimes he is there, and staff is great as well. Maybe I can actually uber now that I'll have a snazzy new car :)

See all

A friend of mine recommended that I go to this place because I was in the search for a new car! I ended up buying a 2008 Jeep Commander. I had such an amazing experience here! The employees were so friendly and helpful and really made me feel so comfortable! They aren't pushy whatsoever, which is something that always bugs me at dealerships. I really felt like my car salesman had my best interest at heart. They got me such an incredible deal, I seriously don't think I could have gotten a better deal anywhere else. I will now recommend this place to any friend I know that is looking for a new car! :) read more

I recently just moved to San Diego for college and realized that you definitely need a car in this city. I went to several places looking for a car that would satisfy my needs, with a good price and mileage. CarMart has a great variety of cars, in fact it is a little bit too crowded but I knew what I was looking for. I bought a 2007 Honda Civic and I'm super happy with it. I recommend it! read more

By far one of the best car buying experiences I've ever had the finance department got me approved and I was able to get my car. As soon as I got to the dealership I was greeted by a friendly informative sales associate that didn't pressure me into anything. He let me describe what I was looking for and showed me the inventory they had available. From there once I chose a car the financing was quick and easy i even got a low interest rate. What I really liked was how i never felt like I had to haggle I pretty much just went in there and told them what and how I wanted my payment and interest rate and lease term to be and they gave me the car and deal I wanted. Definitely coming back here in the future. read more

Hey I'm Bella! On New Year's Eve I crashed my beloved Kia Sorento. I was without a car for a while because my credit wasn't right nor did I want to be stuck with high payments. Then all my dreams came true when I heard about Car Mart. A friend of mine had recently bought her car from there and got a really good deal! The employees at Car Mart are really helpful. Their customer service is wonderful and they quoted me a great price for payments and even worked around my not so well credit. I'm currently interested in the Kia Optima they're selling with low mileage. Doesn't get better than that!

Awesome place, beautiful cars. Ask for Radd. He's willing to go above and beyond to get you into a…read morecar

My experience buying a vehicle from Grand Motors was, for lack of a better word, fine. There was…read morenothing exceptional about the actual sales process. I test-drove a 2020 Range Rover HSE with nearly 80,000 miles and spoke with Rod, who assured me the vehicle had been inspected by his team after being acquired at auction. He also reassured me that the warranty I was purchasing would help protect me against major repairs, which was important given the age and mileage of the vehicle. Unfortunately, within two weeks of purchasing the car, I began noticing suspension-related noises that were impossible to ignore. During the test drive, I drove around the dealership area and on the freeway, but after driving on rougher roads, it became obvious something wasn't right. I contacted Grand Motors and brought the vehicle back. Rad told me his mechanic looked at it and found nothing wrong. I was essentially told that maybe I just wasn't used to driving a vehicle this heavy. No diagnostic report, inspection findings, or documentation were ever provided to me. Trusting my instincts, I sought a second opinion from a warranty-approved repair facility. Their inspection was thorough, professional, and fully documented. They identified multiple suspension-related issues that required significant repairs. The total cost was nearly $4,000, and the warranty only covered about $1,000. I ended up paying over $2,100 out of pocket on a vehicle I had owned for less than 30 days. To make matters worse, the vehicle sat in the repair shop for approximately three weeks while the warranty company sorted out coverage issues. During that time, I was already making payments on a vehicle I couldn't drive. The independent inspection also revealed that the rear brakes were at 2 mm or less. In my opinion, that is something that should have been identified and addressed before the vehicle was sold. As a parent with a young child, vehicle safety is not something I take lightly. To Grand Motors' credit, Rad did agree to replace the rear brakes. However, communication throughout the process was poor. I was never provided photos, detailed findings, or clear explanations regarding what was being replaced. Everything felt vague and reactive rather than transparent and proactive. What frustrated me most wasn't that I bought a used vehicle and encountered repairs--that comes with the territory. It was the repeated dismissal of legitimate concerns. Being told "nothing is wrong" when an independent mechanic later documents multiple issues doesn't inspire confidence. Instead of feeling heard, I often felt like my concerns were being minimized. I want to be fair and mention that Rick was always pleasant and professional to deal with. My criticism is not directed at every employee. However, my overall experience with management left me questioning the thoroughness of their inspections and their commitment to transparency after the sale. Today, the vehicle still has noises and issues that will likely require additional repairs. Looking back, I would not purchase this vehicle again, and I would not purchase from this dealership again. If you're considering buying from Grand Motors, I strongly recommend having any vehicle independently inspected by a trusted mechanic before completing the purchase, regardless of what assurances are provided by the dealership. . Caveat emptor -- buyer beware.

From the initial phone call until I picked it up, the crew at SB Autohaus explained everything they found, the work they needed my approval for to move forward and the detailed pricing that I should expect to see on the invoice. My car sat in my driveway for a couple years bc it was just cheaper to drive my Honda. When I took it in there was some type of leak, the brake fluid was sludge, my wipers were cracked and crusty. They kept my car for two days and replaced all the tubes and fluids that needed replacing. I was pretty adamant about getting new brakes but they said no, drive it around first because there was still a good amount of padding and I wouldn't need brakes for a while still. No upselling, no pushy "you might need this and this and this" like other places, just a clear and concise description of what needs to be done and a checklist of what to look out for in the future. After this experience there are two things I do know - I will probably buy another Benz bc of it's reliability and once it's out of the original factory warranty, I'll take it to SB Autohaus for Service A & B and whatever else needs repair.

However, my car started displaying battery warnings, and both AutoZone and my Mercedes-Benz advisor confirmed that the battery needed to be replaced as well. Since I was already planning to come here for the pads I decided to have both services done here. I dropped my vehicle off around 2:00 PM, and it was ready by 9:00 AM the following morning, which was a very quick turnaround. My only concern came after reviewing the invoice. The total seemed higher than I expected, and after taking a closer look, I realized I had been charged a diagnostic fee for the battery. When I mentioned the warning messages, the staff said they would "check it out." Had I been told they would do a diagnostic to confirm and charge for that, I would have declined it and simply proceeded with the replacement. That said, this experience would not stop me from returning or recommending this shop. The service was professional, the staff was friendly, and the work was completed quickly. My only suggestion is that if you already know exactly what service your vehicle needs, make that very clear upfront so they don't run a diagnostic that is not needed.

I'm really glad you guys made a new yelp. It's story time…read more Here's my money-pit I purchased on the Korski Auto lot a few months back, little did I know I was buying from "Zz Motors". One thing I should note is during the test drive I did not push the car as hard as I should've, because nearly $4000 later on the drive home I noticed smoke coming from the hood and a really gnarly burning smell in the cabin. Another mistake I made was not purchasing the give-back fee for if you felt like returning the vehicle, this resulted in Oscar ghosting me (He's not a bad guy tbh). So another $2000 later, I've had to replace the timing chain gasket, valve cover gasket, oil pan gasket, and the big one the exhaust manifold. Some might say this is to be expected on an older high mileage vehicle but I disagree this is something they likely knew but chose to sell the vehicle regardless. ‍ It is incredibly unsafe to drive with oil seeping out of a cracked manifold, my meantime solution was cleaning it weekly with brake cleaner. I should also add my transmission fluid was extremely low, which unknowingly caused a hangup in third, I didn't notice this but it came up in a diagnosis, however I did notice a jerk when changing gears. My point is, these guys do NOT do any maintenance to these cars aside from detailing and switching out oil filters, so bring a mechanic and OPEN UP YOUR WALLET. Buckle up because your A to B car is going to cost you your wages and a little overtime. In all seriousness, overall I don't regret the purchase, the vehicle after all of the money spent on mechanic work, drives and handles extremely well. Forgot to mention Nick Korski from Korski Auto contacted me after I left a bad review on their Google page, he hooked me up with a great mechanic. That's the saving grace. I definitely could have got something better for the price though, and to anyone reading this YOU could probably find something better on a different lot, maybe even Facebook. Be careful doing business with these guys (Check the license plate cover in the Korski lot) and if you do for the love of god get a pre-purchase inspection. You might end up like me, a "scorned lover" type of customer. Love the car, not the biggest fan of the guys that sold it to me. Have a fantastic day/night, and Oscar if you're reading this you did me dirty man. Good one! (DO NOT CONTACT ME) $6000... I really could've bought ANYTHING else. GG ZZ MOTORS. You won.

A buddy of mine recommended this place to me. He bought a 2009 Honda Civic that was just too true to believe. I just got a job as a driver, and I don't really want to put miles on my new GT86. At first I hit up every major dealer in the area, from Honda to Ford and everything in between. Even WITH my good credit (hate to brag but 760 baby) they were shooting me offers that were wayyy to high. I figured it may be because I'm trying to buy it, so I opted out for the leases. They were still too damn high. I figured eh, why not just get a used? It's gonna be a work car anyway. Showed up there at about 12 noon, took about 3 spins around the lot till I finally settled on the 2010 Corolla. The car was great, great shape, great low mileage, the interior was terrific. Just over all perfect. We ran my credit, and with only a 1,000 down I got the best deal possible. I literally got a better price on a buy, then I was offered at other dealerships to lease. Spent the whole day there, not my favorite part. Just for that I was borderline considering in giving them 4 stars. But the more I look at my car the more I fall in love with it, so screw it, 5 stars it is!!!!! read more

Im very thankful for this place! I had to drive to San Diego from Boston for work and was having car issues shortly after leaving. By the time I got to there, I had to take my car into the shop. They quoted me a price for repairs that left me very discouraged and unsure how I was going to make it back home. The thought had never even crossed my mind of getting a new car until I was almost in tears over the situation and walked passed CarMart. I was greeted by some very nice people at the door and told them what had happened, and the price I was quoted to have my car fixed. And just like that, I had a new car that ran good, and for even less than what I was quoted to have mine fixed. :) It has been three weeks now, made it back with zero problems, and it still runs great. In-fact I like it better than my other car! Thank you CarMart for being there right when I needed you!~ read more

I had the pleasure of being helped by numerous gentlemen down at carmart which came highly recommended by a close friend of mine. I had the pleasure of spending some quality time getting solid advice from multiple gentlemen. Ernie was the first gentlemen who answered some of my questions. Throughout the following few days I crunched numbers with Ray and another gentlemen...not once did I feel the sense of being mislead and being detoured away from my goal of finding a vehicle that would fit my budget as well as the style I prefer. I could go on and on about this establishment but I just want to emphasize the amount of professionalism that was displayed by the 4 or 5 gentlemen who helped me. Keep up the great work read more
