I scheduled a 1:00 PM appointment yesterday online to view a specific vehicle and drove from Daly City to Gilroy specifically for this car. However, upon my arrival, I was informed that the vehicle had already been sold just an hour ago. When I questioned the staff regarding the lack of notification, the response I received was unprofessional. He went on to show me other cars and said you should have called, we don't see those AI appointments. It appears that appointments are being set for vehicles no longer in inventory as a tactic to draw customers to the lot to sell alternative vehicles. I find this practice to be misleading and a form of FALSE ADVERTISING. This is how they conduct their business, BE AWARE of their appointment notification process to prevent other customers from experiencing similar inconveniences. read more

Absolutely pathetic experience from start to finish. We pointed out a horrible burning smell coming from the car during the test drive, and instead of responding like a competent professional, the salesman immediately became defensive, hostile, and started talking over everyone the second we questioned the condition of the vehicle. I've driven enough old cars, junkers, and barely-alive beaters to know exactly what overheating coolant, slipping transmissions, and burning fluids smell like. This car felt like it was actively dying during the test drive. The transmission dragged, the engine smelled cooked, and the entire vehicle gave off the energy of something one hard acceleration away from a tow truck. What's insane is they still wanted over $7,000 for it purely because the mileage was "low." Low mileage means absolutely nothing when the car drives like it's moments away from mechanical failure. Putting lipstick on a breakdown doesn't magically make it reliable. The attitude was honestly the worst part. The second I started pointing out actual mechanical concerns, he immediately started talking down to me like I couldn't possibly understand cars because I'm a woman. Sorry, but some of us actually know what a dying transmission feels like, and screaming over customers doesn't suddenly make your inventory safe to drive. This place operates like they're hoping buyers are too inexperienced to notice obvious problems before signing paperwork. If this is how they behave before taking your money, I can only imagine the nightmare afterward. I genuinely would not trust these people to sell a bicycle, let alone a car. read more

I had called a week ago to inquire about a car listed for sale. I spoke to Jeff and I asked the basic questions because the info was limited on the site. I asked if they did in-house financing and he stated no. I thanked him for his time and told him I wasn't interested. After that from that day til now (a week later) I have been receiving multiple txt msgs and emails harassing me about purchasing a car. I responded multiple times I am not interested and to remove me from the marketing list. It didn't work. I decided to call and politely asked to be removed from their marketing call/email list. Jeff was the person again I was speaking to. He was extremely rude! He said whats the big deal its the way of the future...all I needed to to do was reply STOP! I said it is a big deal because I didn't agree to be harassed. He said there was no way to remove me. I was wasting his time. I said it should be a big deal because if I ever considered purchasing from them in the future I wouldn't due to his poor customer service. He said big deal and why is he wasting time on the phone with me! I would never go to them or refer them to anyone looking to purchase a vehicle. He puts the SLIM in Slimy used car salesman!!I had called a week ago to inquire about a car listed for sale. I spoke to Jeff and I asked the basic questions because the info was limited on the site.

I called ahead to confirm the mileage since it wasn't listed on the post. When I arrived, the car had over 20,000 more miles than what they told me. When I asked questions, the staff didn't know anything about the car and just said they had "a report." I reviewed their report and compared it to the CARFAX, and it showed accidents they didn't disclose. When they handed us the paperwork, the guy just sat back down on the couch and didn't say a word until we got up and asked something. No effort to explain anything, no professionalism. Overall, very poor customer service and not transparent about their vehicles. Even if the price looks good, it's not worth the hassle or the dishonesty. The guy with curly hair made the experience even more uncomfortable. read more

Incredible prices, incredible people, incredible selection, sent all my friends and family, just a hidden gem

I was interested in a vehicle I saw on CarGurus so I reached out through that app requesting info. A couple days go by and I hear nothing. I go to their site and submit an inquiry through there, with no response back. I tried giving them a call at the number from their site and never got an answer/call back. It's a shame because I was ready to buy as I knew the car already but just left in the dark. 2 weeks later I get a notification the car is sold. Onto the next one but the customer service, or lack of, is... just that. read more

A Rollicking Review of Gilroy Motorsports: A Gleaming Gem in the Wacky World of Car Dealerships Tucked away on Monterey in the garlic-scented heart of Gilroy, CA, Gilroy Motorsports is a sparkling oasis in the often-dodgy desert of used car lots. Walking into their office is like stepping into a futuristic auto spa--think gleaming chrome, plush leather chairs, and a vibe so warm and new-car-scented you half expect a sports car to offer you a cappuccino. It's the kind of place where you'd happily sip coffee and debate the merits of a '92 Chevy truck versus a sleek sedan, all while basking in the glow of automotive dreams. The lot itself is a delightful paradox: rows of meticulously cleaned cars, their paint jobs winking under the California sun, interspersed with a few "oldies but goodies" that wear their patina like badges of honor. These vintage beauties--think a '90s OBS Chevy with a manual transmission or a classic Mustang--add a nostalgic charm, whispering tales of open roads and simpler times. The staff at Gilroy Motorsports is where the real magic happens. The owner, a beacon of integrity, runs the show with a disarming blend of honesty and humor that could charm the rust off a fender. The team, including the stellar salesman Will, works hard to secure fair deals, making you feel like you're haggling with a favorite uncle who just happens to know everything about cars. Then there's Luke, a kind young man whose earnest smile and genuine enthusiasm make you want to buy a car just to keep him employed. And let's not forget Oso, the detailer extraordinaire, whose wizardry with a buffer transforms every vehicle into a showroom stunner. The man could make a '78 Pinto look like it just rolled off a Milan catwalk. Now, not everything is perfect in this automotive Narnia. There's a nosey, rude neighbor who seems to think the lot is their personal complaint department, poking their head over the fence to grumble about everything from engine revs to the audacity of sunlight reflecting off a hood. But the Gilroy Motorsports crew takes it in stride, deflecting busybody barbs with a wink and a chuckle, keeping the vibe as polished as their cars. I've heard tales of a phone operator with a snarky streak, but my experience was all warmth and wit. Gilroy Motorsports isn't just a dealership; it's a step above the rest in the oddball world of car sales. It's where clean cars, a pristine office, and a team with heart and humor make you forget the occasional mechanical hiccup. If you're looking for a ride with character, a laugh, and a deal you can trust, swing by and let Oso's detailing dazzle you, Luke's kindness win you over, and the owner's integrity seal the deal. Just don't mention the neighbor--they might overhear. read more

Beware of this place! Just best to NOT buy your car here. Bad bad bad experience, extortion, junk vehicles and constricts. read more

Great service with Will who is cool dude to deal with. I will buy again and I only Honda and Toyota's.

FIVE STARS!!! I was a little scared reading the reviews but I saw a Toyota so thought I'd take a chance and I'm so glad I did!!! They were very nice and had great customer service! I was so stressed out trying to find a car and these guys were so knowledgeable and helpful and made everything easy. They worked with my budget to find a car.. after shopping around the whole Bay Area, I can confidently say- save yourself some time and just go here first. Don't let the reviews scare you away, I'm glad I didnt. read more

Well let me start by saying I was trying to buy a car and I went to 6 different places and they all gave me the run around so I called Gilroy Motorsports and they asked me just to come in and they would help me get in a car of my choice so I drove from Salinas and as I walked in they treated my wife and I like family so we felt like this is the place And that day in least then 30min we drove home in a car we wanted. We are so impressed and so happy with the service they gave us . We thank you for your service. read more

Gilroy Motorsports - Car Dealers Near Me - Gilroy, California

Second car I purchased from them and it was a very good price and the car runs great. The service was excellent and it was easy to make the purchase, I recommend this place to anyone read more

Employee was rude when he answered the phone! All I wanted was a simple question asked and he had a snappy attitude with a snarky response.

Gilroy local who picked up a car from these guys about a month ago. Never met any of the employees or the manager prior to this experience, but they treated me with utmost respect and hospitality. Like a friend and an equal, they weren't just trying to make a quick buck off of. There was some complications on my part and the manager Will helped walked me through the steps and really figured it all out if I'm being honest. As someone whose purchased a many of cars from both dealers and through private sellers, this was hands down the best experience I've been dealt. Shoutout to Will and Luke for all the help! read more

If I could give a 0 star I would. The customer service is horrible. Picked up the phone and had an attitude as I spoke kindly. For what? I don't know but this is definitely not the place for business. Treat potential customers better. read more

I bought a car from Luke and it was hands down. The best experience I ever had purchasing a car from beginning to end. It was easy. They explained everything clearly had me in and out quickly with the paperwork. I would definitely recommend any of my friends or family to go buy a car there and I know where I'll be buying my next vehicle Gilroy motorsports five stars read more

I bought two cars from Gilroy Motorsports. A Ford Taurus and a Mercury Sable both had low mileage and were in excellent condition. It was a excellent transaction along with a excellent price type. I recommend them highly to all my friends and was a wonderful experience all around-Rock read more

First let's say that in desperation you do stupid things. Mine was buying from these guys. I should have known better. The manager said he'd try to make good on a few repairs. One of the two things was fixed, the brakes (totally dry rotted). The heater core on the other hand has now turned my story into a version of Alice In Wonderland. It in fact WAS NOT REPLACED, and now after months of endless repairs my f'ing car is in need of a NEW TRANSMISSION. Moral of the story. It's better to walk than buy from these guys. read more

Person answering phone seemed bothered by my question on mileage then told me the truck I was looking at on their add didn't exist. Super rude lying guy not sure how they expect to run a business like that. Would give less stars if possible. If he's like this on the phone I could only imagine when they have u trapped on their lot read more

I went to get a car , because my car crap out ! Came in walking from the freeway Came across Gilroy auto sports Drove out in a Chevy Tahoe Couldn't believe how easy it was! Paid cash because they only take Credit cards or cash read more

Horrible service, when I arrived. Saw owner inside sleeping on his chair, and had to knock on the door to get his attention. I went primarily to find a vehicle but the lot is so packed and unmaintained it so hard to even look at cars. The only other employee there was a older man, younger than the owner though, but during covid, neither person wore masks, and the younger man there was smoking in front of me. ... as for the cars, the place might as well be a parts lot. Most of the vehicles are covered in dust and dirt, and don't look appealing at all. The vehicle I was interested in was a complete disaster. Poorly maintained and not cared for what so ever. Problems I found with the vehicle (oil was FAR over the max line, transmission fluid was beginning to look a little brown, HORRIBLE vibration in steering wheel when at idle, engine ran really rough at idle; whole car vibrated, and shifting wasn't as smooth as it probably could be.) The car was screaming red flags everywhere I looked. And to top it off, the car was priced firmly at over $6,000 I spoke with the owner, and he laughed when I tried negotiating. He told me the car ran fine and it's a good deal. Your money can go a long way somewhere else, STAY AWAY from this nightmare dealership. read more

listen to what people are saying in their reviews. I had the same experience, they sold me a car that was so full of corrosion, and they covered it up. I had no idea now I'm stuck with a seriously unsafe vehicle because of the corrosion. There is so much more about the shady dealings of these people but that would be a novel. read more

Hey everyone, so I am writing a review for the first time ever. I read the other reviews prior to writing it seems most are old. I'm also thinking that people are confusing this place for Mike's Auto which is in the front of Monterey Rd easily seen. So, mabe people are confusing that there are two separate dealerships. So, before your review be sure of lot. I purchased a car from Luke at Gilroy Motorsports. This vehicle was for my daughter sweet 16 Birthday gift. For her protection I won't tell you which one. We had a great experience her older sister left her her perfectly great functional car, however she wanted something a little smaller. I traded my other daughters car and the gave me a fair amount as I wanted to do a straight trade as much as possible. For being younger Luke was very knowledgeable and just a nice young man. He worked with me and allowed me to negotiate in a timely manner as I had kids in car and it was raining. Due rain and time he allowed me to drive the car home and leave my trade with a deposit and most of paperwork done. I had to come back next day with my Pink slip and extra keys and one more document. I meet Will this day who was also very nice and knowledgeable Love his curly hair. Lol. Will took care of anything else that I had questions about and walked me through the document one more time so I was not confused as this is a two part transaction with trade. I haven't traded in 20 years. The car is spectacular. His cars are older so remember no car is perfect used from scratches to minor things. I believe he is truly honest to include willing to negotiate the advantages of a smaller place. The big dealerships don't negotiate and seem to always do something shady. Please come give it a chance as did we. My daughter and I are in Love with car, experience and just old classic honest human interactions and sales. God bless them. read more

Called gilroy motor sports to ask about the mileage on a SUV, salesman stated one number. I checked the car fax app and the mileage was much higher, almost 60k higher. I understand you have to get people in the door but don't deceive people. read more

I'm not normally a reviewer but I have mixed feelings about this dealership and wanted to post to help others. I had been looking for a 90s OBS Chevy truck. I found a 92 they had that was a manual transmission and had years worth of maintenance for. The previous owners put in a new engine, clutch, catalytic converter, and completely re did the interior. Minus the paint job being pretty crappy, it seemed to be mechanically sound. I traded my 2013 escape for this truck. Mind you, the sales person, Will was very kind and helpful and got us a good deal on it. I've had the truck less than a week. And I have put over $700 into it after breaking down 40 miles from home. I'm questioning what a "new engine" means because once I took apart a bunch of stuff, things are very worn, rusted, damaged, etc. After replacing the fuel filter, TPS, ICM, Distributor cap/rotor, plugs, wires, and battery (which they also claimed was brand new)....truck still won't run. My next step is a fuel pump. They also lied about the mileage on their ad, which wasn't an issue for me considering the "new engine only had 30k miles" I'm now stuck without a vehicle and I'm a first responder which makes this incredibly frustrating to have to deal with. Unfortunately I signed an as is contract, and I have a feeling they new this truck has underlying issues. I haven't even began to look at why there's oil all over the top of the engine, but I'm scared to find out. Take a mechanic with you when you go. They don't finance so I'm out cash on this truck now. They allowed me to pay $1300 over the next 60 days, but truthfully, until this truck is running, they won't see a penny of that. Matter of fact, let's take the cost of my parts and subtract that from my $1300. I feel scammed and taken advantage of. I feel like there were many lies told about this truck. And now I'm the only paying the price for it. Make this right Gilroy Motorsports! read more

If i could give negative stars i would. I came in with $4000 down he talked me into a car. I paid cash up front. I asked I'm not going to be coming back with buyers remorse he said oh no I guarantee you'll love this car. Not 3 days later I was stranded with no way to pick up my babies. The next day I contacted Will he said he could fix it when he had time. With no other way to get around I paid out of pocket to fix it myself. To only find more problems and absolutely no oil at all. How long was it driven with no oil? He couldn't tell me. He also said I can not return it. " it's not furniture you can't just return a car" "there is no such thing as a lemon law" I explained to him in a single mother and need something reliable. "There is nothing I can do your stuck with it" even though he charged me a cancelation policy fee and agreed he would fix it. read more

When I went in here I told him that I was looking for a car for my son. So, I wanted a car that was reasonably priced and dependable. When I drove the car - there were warning lights that he said he would take care of. I was sent to a house outside of Morgan Hill. He didn't fix all issues promice. I have had to spend $1500 to make car legal and good to drive. Don't be deceived by this man. He will try to give you a good deal but be careful what you are buying. I have a younger daughter and I won't be going back to purchase again. read more

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME. I had called ahead to make sure the vehicle I was interested in was still available, letting them know I had to rent a car and drive way out of town to come see it. There were TEN THOUSAND miles more on the vehicle than it was listed for and when I asked about it and about negotiating the price the employee was insanely rude and did nothing but tell me that 'ten thousand miles is nothing and it's a great car' and refuse to comprise on the price or even apologize for the miscommunication. Wouldn't let me talk to the owner. This is the first review I've ever bothered to write but I'm LIVID about how much of my time and money was wasted on this place. Look elsewhere. read more
