Abe may be open only an hour a day, but he is available by appointment and is very cordial in his business dealings. He is also very open about the vehicles he sells, sharing service histories and what he has done to make the vehicles sellable. His pricing is very realistic. He offers to find any type of vehicle you desire for a very reasonable service fee. Need commercial vehicles? Go see Abe. read more

weird car agency . . . one hour per day office hours, even then nobody. Went by to look at vehicles . . Called, mail box full, asked a question on the website, no response. would you spend $20 - $30K on a used vehicle with this lousy and unreliable upfront face to the world? no way. Get a life! wasted my time, Abe! read more

Abe, At Excel Auto.,was extremely efficient and cordial while assisting me in every aspect of my qualifications. There were a lot of things I had to fix and also obtain for me to be able to get into a vehicle and Abe was very clear, which helped me time-wise. Felt much better dealing with someone I trusted rather than the typical car salesman. Trust is everything now a days! Thanks Excel Auto. read more

even ONE star for this Shop is too much !! I wish I could give a negative rating. I will be straight : this car dealer, called "Abe", is probably the most useless intermediate car dealer I ever got to deal with. And I came to the conclusion that he is a *Crook*. I would advise *any customer to avoid* his business; avoid this individual at any cost. He's not a person you should ever do business with. What happened to my friend is unbelievable. She made the mistake to close the deal with him because we couldn't guess that it was even possible to end-up in such a mouse trap. Normally, when customers go through an intermediate dealer for used cars, the purpose is to get his expertise on finding a reliable product. My friend wanted to buy a utility Ford car for her Artistic job (paintings). Her budget was tight : $10000 max with taxes. Obviously it's hard to find something decent at this price. But at least our assumption was that car dealer's job is about *filtering* the products and making sure the cars are at least in a decent shape. One of the car available turned-out to be a decent choice : the papers of the Ford Transit showed that the whole transmission had been replaced recently ! As a "funny" anecdote, Abe faked being positively surprised by this information ("Oooooh, this is your lucky day, madam, look at this paper about the transmission... Ooooh, luck day" :-) ). He acted like if he didn't know... which sounded odd, given that he's supposed to know his used-cars... But she got trapped in his game : feeling it was a good sign for a used car to have a rather new transmission. Unfortunately, we discovered few days later that this car was a wreck : - the transmission *never got replaced* : instead, some dude messed with it and did some amateur job of trying to fix it - the transmission papers that Abe happily used as a *bate* to make my friend buy it were *fake* ! - the garage that supposedly did the job doesn't exist anymore and was far away (Nevada City) - the identification of this car by DMV seemed complicated : the origin of this car was "fishy"... not a good sign Last but not least, few small other stupid issues happened, too : - dashboard maintenance lights started to blink a week after the acquisition - tire pressure lights blinked a week later - we discovered too late that the roof of the car had lost its paint on huge areas (The problem with Ford Transit is that the roof is so high that it's difficult to notice it without climbing on a chair or so). Besides, we would have expected the car dealer to mention it ! Aren't dealers supposed to check what they sell ? We think so. Abe probably omitted this detail on purpose. So, my friend ended-up buying him a car that simply *fell appart* almost right after the signature : although we didn't notice any serious problems, while testing it at Excel Auto, the car started to behave in a dangerous way (gear box) on the Freeway. My friend freaked-out and didn't even dare to drive back the 2 hours to get back to Excel Auto, feeling that it could be dangerous. In conclusion, It didn't take more than 72h for this car to start falling appart ! Abe had guaranteed a 72h transmission warranty... however, while the transmission already showed serious weakness during these 72h, it took my friend a little more than this duration to have a real diagnostic : the mechanic close to where she lives couldn't work faster. So, unfortunately the mechanic realized that the transmission was a mess and the replacement a fake, but after the 72h Abe's warranty. My friend tried to get back to Abe with the argument that she realized the problem and notified Abe (over the phone) about the transmission issue before the 72h limit. Useless to say that Abe totally refused any sort of negotiation, arguing that she exceeded the 72h limit to officially notify him. Conclusion: she spent $10k + additional costs of checks and repair (~$2000) for a car that she cannot trust; cannot resell; cannot use for work : the car transmission is so bad that additional repairs are required ! But don't get us wrong : it is *OK* for a used-car to have issues. And it is not really the responsibility of the car dealer if it happens. But let's be honest : at least the car should work more than 2 days after buying it ! Thank you Excel Auto ! Thank you Abe. Your business failed to do what the customer expected from you. I hope nobody else will fall into this mouse-trap. PS: My friend assigned Excel Auto, Abe, to court. But because this guy is a "pro" and because he has well crafted arguments, she lost. But yeah : I think we are partially responsible. We should have been more suspicious and more accurate on the checking... but not everybody is competent in cars. And we made the mistake of thinking that we could trust a car dealer in his first round of quality assurance on his product. Never again. read more

Really badd communication. Made an appointment the cancel me 1 min before the appointment. Waste of time. Really wanted to get a Ford Transit....

Just purchased my first 7 series! A BMW 2008 750LI! After months of searching and talking to Abe over the phone, he was able to find me my dream car! Abe and his team did an incredible job at not only finding the car at the price that worked for me but also help secure financing. I was referred to him by a friend who had purchased two cars from Abe in the past. He def came through on his word! He also gave me a free oil change card!! Thanks excel auto!! read more

I had an excellent experience with this car dealer. I have nothing but kind words to give Abe. I got into a car accident a couple months ago and have been looking all around for cars, and a payment plan that would fit my budget and expenses. He went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable in the car I chose and helped me make the best decision! Also was very flexible with payment. And communicated extremely well. His hospitality was great as well! Thank you for helping me find my new car. :) read more

Bought my GMC Van here Abe is great sales person. I can easily say this was one of the best experience I had dealing with auto dealers. Abe is very fair and well-flexible person. I only bring up to this point because there is a lot of places In Bay Area overpriced but when I see Excel auto dealer Abe he is a very good person and understand others and he willing to negotiate and accommodate based on their needs. If you are looking to buy your next vehicle I highly recommend go and see Excel auto dealer Abe he is great!! read more

Abe is the best! I've bought now two company service vans from him and Excel Auto as they are my preferred supplier in NorCal.

Everyone at Excel Auto was exceptional and informative. Especially Abe, the guy who actually sold me the car. He made the entire process of buying a new car so easy and taught me a few things in the process. Not only was he able to answer all of my questions, he also provided great customer service. He is very VERY patient and tries his best to help you in anyway possible. Very happy with my purchase. read more

I highly recommend Excel Auto for anyone looking to buy a fleet truck! I was out of luck with my old truck and I needed to find one fast!

He made the experience of buying a car a pleasurable, and rare experience. I am ready to go back to work and I haven't missed a day because I was able to,replace my work vehicle in one day! I recommend Abe and Excel auto to anyone needing to replace a fleet truck fast! read more

Great place, Abe treated me like royalty. Bought a a great car and was in and out in no time. Great place to buy a used car

I recently purchased a vehicle from Excel Auto and the staff was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. All the vehicle information was provided online, so I was able to review all the information about the car prior to test driving, it made it extremely helpful when trying to buy a vehicle. The staff at Excel Auto was extremely diligent in their work. During the car buying process, everything was extremely thorough. Excel auto had a third party mechanic inspect the car, and I was also given the option to take the car to my mechanic if I wanted to, it was so nice of Excel Auto to allow me to do that, they are extremely trustworthy. My mechanic inspected the car, and the car was in great, clean condition. During the car buying process the staff was extremely helpful, it made the experience painless! Today, my car is running great and I am so happy! I am so happy I purchased my car from Excel Auto. They went above and beyond to make my car buying experience great and I ended up with an amazing car at a great deal! Thank you Excel Auto!! read more

I purchased a car from Abe today and my experience was excellent! Just like it was when I purchased my first car from him 3 years ago!! He is very helpful and wants to help people!!

Last week I've got a Volkswagen Beetle 2004 from this place. I'm happy with my car and service that I've got. Abe is nice gentlemen and good businessman as well.

Abe gave us a great price on a beautiful 2004 Jeep Liberty for my girlfriend. He worked with us until we were both happy on the sale and was a man of his word. I would definitely buy from him again in the future. Thanks!! read more

Thank you Abe for a great deal on my 991! Abe was very easy to work with, very responsive and honest. I checked out the car and he answered all my questions and provided all of the history.

Thank you for the smooth transaction and a great deal! read more

I had a GREAT experience with Abe's Excel Auto. I'm now a proud owner of a Porsche Boxster (white w/blue leather and convertible top)! The price was recently reduced to a bit less than blue book, and condition was excellent :-). The simple interest financing he secured me was helpful enough for me to now establish even better credit. Abe took the time to devote to all my needs and questions. A truly positive experience. Thank you Abe! read more

Looks like my first review was deleted so here I go again. This guy is a crook, I was a first time buyer so he took advantage and sold me an overpriced car. I blame myself for not doing research but the car broke down 3 days after I bought it. He knew there were problems and didn't tell me! Instead he filled it with coolant so it didn't overheat and he had the audacity to deny it. read more

Abe is a long time family friend. His work style is you want it you got it! If you want to get exactly what you are looking for quickly and thoroughly. He will go through all the trouble of finding the car and making sure it has the quality to last you. He makes buying cars simple and easy. If you or your loved ones are looking to make a purchase especially around the holidays he has some gorgeous vehicles at decent prices. I hope you find this gem of a lot and get to enjoy good business. read more

Dont go here. This guy is a scum and sales broken cars. I test drove 2 vehicles both had problems. The Chrysler started POURING coolant as soon as I was done with my test drive and they still had the audacity to ask me if I wanted to apply for credit to get the car. Second car was a Cadillac STS and while accelerating it would vibrate and the check engine would flash then turn off after a couple minutes. When we told them we weren't interested he told us to leave. Go elsewhere if you know what's good for you. read more

I received one key when I purchased however the key stopped working for the car two months after having it it cost me over $300 to replace.

No problems here with our purchase of a very nice "used" 2000 Honda civic for my son. We live in Boulder Creek and the first test of the vehicle was driving over Bear Creek Rd. All good. The owner and sales lady were very friendly and worked with us on the price and we were out the door in minutes. Happy with this transaction, worthy of a good yelp review. read more

Lied to my face. I bought a 2002 Nissan frontier 6 weeks ago, and we worked out a deal to where they would give me the parts to fix my tailgate. I was told the parts for an older and I would have them in a couple of weeks. 6 weeks later now they won't return my calls. Forced to file law suit, small claims pending. read more

When our family's Mazda5 was totaled in a car accident after we'd had it less than 3 months, we were devastated. We knew that we wanted to buy a car similar to what we had, so we started looking around the bay area. We visited several lots before happening upon Abe's. Of all the cars we had looked at, the one on his lot was the cleanest, best maintained, & had the lowest mileage. We immediately called to schedule an appointment to meet with Abe & test drive the car. He responded in a timely manner, & offered to help us with financing in advance so it wasn't something we'd have to hassle with the day of (which is much appreciated when you're car shopping with a toddler in tow! ). When we met with Abe, he had thorough paperwork on the vehicle, including a mechanic's inspection & dmv history on the vehicle. We bought the car yesterday, & we're absolutely ecstatic! Abe even gave a follow up call this morning to see how we were liking the car. We couldn't be happier with our little car, & Abe's service was well worth the drive from the east bay! Best of the bay here, folks! read more

Went in for a car and got the car i wanted smiling ear to ear !!#!! they've help me big-time hassle free

Bottom line about this place is that Abe is NOT a good sales person. Look, it is the car sales business so there will be alot of negotiations going back and forth and the customer will most likely not buy the car. Abe takes it very personal and becomes very offensive and RUDE when you say you will think about it. When my girlfriend said she will think about it Abe threw the key holder blanket on his desk and threw a big fit!!! The woman that works with him even had a slight look of...wth is going here...when he was throwing his temper tantrum. When we walked out to go to our car he followed us out and literally was yelling at us saying that we wasted his time and would not buy regardless of the price. Big dealership or family owned used car dealership...Abe, from one salesperson to another you cannot be rude to your customers because in the end you won't have your car sold and a review like this will be posted for your business. We were not rude to you at all and you were 100% rude to us!!! My recommendation for this business is that you do NOT deal with Abe! Terrible sales person. Terrible! If you DO decide to come here, then please talk to the woman. I forgot her name, but she is a LOT friendlier than Abe. Abe, if you want your cars to be sold, then do yourself a favor and don't show up to your business! Let people who KNOW customer service sell the cars!! read more

[Edit] 8/19/15 - "Mini Cooper, one too many problems" I hate to give such low rating, but I am very disappointed. I'm us very understanding but this was absurd. I never have felt so cheated. My car started having problems less than a month. If he told me honestly from the beginning that there are parts that need fixing I would be fine, but no. What gets me the most is that I needed a sturdy car because I will be traveling to LA a couple times a month and he knew that. Couple days before my trip my battery light went on. At first I thought, "okay, I just go to the mechanics myself and change battery. No problem" but then my steering wheel was locked as I was driving! Scared the shi-crap out of me. Then the abs light was on...so I parked on the side(didn't know I wasn't suppose to turn off the car when its low battery) so I ended up being stranded and had to call tow truck. When I got it towed to a nearby autoshop, I did a battery change and it turns out that acid came out and was all over the bolt and when they replaced a new battery in, it wasn't charging....finally after a day later it was the alternator that had problem....I felt like I was cheated and Mr. Abe sold me a defected car. I tried to reason with him because I got this car LESS THAN a month and he wouldn't pay for the fixing. His response was simply because I had bought the car and is not his problem..okay, I get that but my unsatisfactory was before he handed me the car he clearly stated everything was thoroughly checked. Yeah, so thoroughly checked that they missed the alternator? Please. What he ended up doing was told me to get my car towed to his known autoshop in San Jose (he didn't pay my towing fee either). I ended up getting the alternator (I was told it was new, but I'm very skeptical of his work and the people he introduced me) for $500. That, I do think it is cheaper than outside market...anyways, at first he said the autoshop can give me a discount price at $350 and himself will pay $250 max. Okay, that seems fair that I pay $100 out of pocket, but I shouldn't even have to pay a cent in the beginning if they had checked it thoroughly. Anyways, Mr. Abe took back his word and only paid $150. Didn't want to pay half of the replacement fee. He said if I try to push any further he wouldn't pay at all, what kind of service is that? I am still your customer. He didn't even want to meet me in person...shady AF. Never again do I want to purchase from a private dealer. I rather pay a little bit more next time than to spend extra time to deal with frustration. Overall, I personally wouldn't purchase from him. He may seem all friendly at first but I wouldn't trust everything he say, says an older gentlemen I sat next to while waiting for my car. This whole process took about 3 days. For 3 days I was carless... Learned my lesson. PS, the autoshop that Mr. Abe told me to go to is USA Auto Tech & Services. The mechanic who helped my car was Tom, I think he was probably annoyed of me complaining cause he had to be the middle person between Mr. Abe & I. But I still thank him for helping with my car. Also this guy name Bihn, I liked him the most. I ended up getting a new battery even though he said my exploded battery still work...who knows how long that old battery will last. Last thing I wish is to be stranded on freeway, no thanks. Bihn ended up charging me $120 for new battery and labor included. Oh, if you purchase an alternator from them is lifetime warranty and battery is a year. Hope this helps(: [Original] Mr. Abe is such a sweet man. Even though we insisted on sharing a bottled water, he gave each of us one. His service was excellent, I felt like he treated me as if he was my own uncle didn't cheat me or anything. I actually imagined this auto place a bit bigger, but there were probably 15 cars? Honestly, I wasn't going to this shop originally but the listing for a mini cooper disappeared from another dealer...another plus was that Mr. Abe made all the corrections I had asked about the car. Before he handed the car to me, he went over the headlights, fender, AC & brake to make sure everything was just I had asked for. So far I haven't found any problems and I hope not to. Thank you Mr. Abe(: read more

I had a horrible experience at Abe's shop. I understand I am younger and might not look like I could've bought a car, but that doesn't make it acceptable to be so rude to a serious buyer. Abe still showed me all the paperwork for the car I was interested in (I don't remember how updated the papers were that he showed me; everything was shown very briefly and I hardly had a chance to look at the documents) and he came along with me to test drive the car. I was expecting to do a full test drive but Abe only showed me around a 5 block radius - and only through a quiet neighborhood! How am I supposed to gauge a car's quality with so little time?! The whole time I felt rushed and my serious questions I had about the car were brushed to the side. The lot is full of "reasonably" priced beautiful cars. He told me that he sells his cars for wholesale value to push them off the lot as quickly as possibly. Now I can understand why because apparently, from these other reviews, most of them have problems! I am so happy I found my dream car at a different dealership. It seems that I avoided a whole lot of mess. read more

We found a very nice looking car, kinda pricey. My mistake was after we bought the car my mistake was not driving it. It was a week after that i bought it that i drove it and it started over heating. By that time it was too late to return it since he had given us 3 days. We went got the car fixed. But that wasn't the end of our problems. About two weeks later it started overheating again and this it was a much bigger problem. It cost us about 1 thousand to fix it! He sure as hell wouldn't pay for that. He had said everything was fine. I shouldn't have believed him. So if you want to waste more money than you intend to, come on by read more
