"""WARNING""" DO NOT BUY A CAR HERE- Emil Manesh is a complete FRAUD. He will rip you off! Just like previous reviews---intentional fraud. I recently bought a 2012 Honda civic here in Jan 2026 and paid 11k for it because it had low milage (72k miles). The only real issue I saw at the time was the driver's seat had a tear in it but no big deal I bought some seat covers to cover it up. When I left the car lot the car seemed to drive fine but within 2 weeks the car started making funny grinding noises when braking. I took it to the mechanic and he said all the mounts needed to be replaced. Had to replace the engine mount, transmission mount and the torque mount. $1k to replace all the mounts. After the mounts were replaced, the car was still making grinding noises. He said the right hub assembly was bent and needed to be replaced. This would cost me $350 to fix. The hub assembly was replaced and the car was still making grinding noises. Took the car back to the mechanic. He found out the brakes that were used were cheap metallic brakes and they needed to be replaced along with the rotors. That is why the car was still making grinding noises. During the inspection they said the struts, shocks and sway bars were in bad shape and needed to be replaced as well. This service would cost me an additional 2k. The mechanic also found sludge in the oil and transmission fluid and air filter was caked on black. $350 to replace those fluids and air filter. The mechanic said the person who sold me the car knew about these issue before selling me the car because they were obvious problems any mechanic can see. But wait there is more!! During this whole process the check air bag keeps turning on and off. The mechanic couldn't diagnose the check airbag light. I'm 100% sure this car has been in a car accident and stolen at some point because the 2 front headlights don't match. The blinkers are different colors and one is old, the other one is brand new due to car being crashed. There is a gap between my windshield and body of the car also due to the card being crashed. I didn't obviously notice these issues right away. There are scratches all over the inside of my door and a huge gap/tear between my driver side window/door where they jimmied the door open and all the steering column covers are missing (plastic on the bottom of the steering wheel). So far what I spent within 3 months of owning the car. Out of pocket repairs: $1000 to fix the mounts $350 to replace the driver side hub assembly $350 for the fluid changes. $450 for new brakes and rotors $1500 for new struts, shocks and sway bars. $50 floor mats. $3700 in repairs so far within the first 3 months of owning this car. I looked in my trunk couple months ago and there is no spare tire in there. Just an old rotten tire. The car has cheap hub caps on it as well. I noticed this when I bought the car but overlooked this. Finally, it turns out the bottom and top of my steering collum covers are missing. The plastic piece that goes on the bottom of the steering wheel is missing. He put a leather flap on the top of the steering column cover to hide this so when you pull it back you can see the engine from inside the car. THIS IS A HUGE HAZARD! You shouldn't be able to see the engine from the top of your steering wheel, inside the car! Things that still need to be fixed. - The check air bag light- can cost me another $1000+ - Missing/broken steering column covers $1000 - New Hub caps/Rims another $800 -Fix interior and seatbelt -$1000 -Body work-$1000 -new spare tire $300 Another 5k+ in repairs that still needs to be done. Basically, So far I spent $15000 on a 2012 Honda Civic. After all the repairs that need to be done it will cost me close to 20k for a 2012 HONDA. Save your time and money! STAY AWAY from this place!!! He also charges you 3% to use your credit card which is ILLEGAL!! I CAN POST ALL MY RECIPTS OF REPAIRS DONE EMIL!! You have been WARNED! read more

Beware of scams! This tiny dealer that looks like a junkyard sells salvage cars with a clean title as if it's clean cars. He showed me painted cars with uneven panel gaps and body flex! He even tried to sell me an SUV that had a permanent suspension and alignment irregularities.. I worked as an auto damage adjuster for insurance companies for 20 years, and I can smell a nasty car a mile away. Woah, you all be careful dealing with this shady dealer! read more

Posting again because it didn't post off my actual yelp account. My friend and I went to this dealership the other day to look at cars. We had a few options in mind. We spoke to Emil upon arrival. He was very nice and helpful. My friend and I ended up staying at the dealership for over 3 hours due to weighing all our options. Emil was VERY patient with us && very accommodating to us. He definitely went out of his way to make sure we got what we were looking for as I have been trying to find a vehicle for a few months now. We test drove a bunch of cars there. Emil was extremely helpful when it came to assisting us and getting us a very good deal on a car. He did not make us feel rushed and I'm very happy. Also purchased the extended warranty. Thank you :) read more

Update - July 22, 2025 ($5040 in repairs) After having my case reviewed, it's confirmed: Emil Manesh sold me a salvaged vehicle without disclosure and went to great lengths to hide the damage. Legal steps will be taken. Original Review Dishonest. Dangerous. Deliberate. I bought a 2010 Lexus ES350 from Emil at Hunters Automotive. What I received was a dangerously rebuilt wreck--held together with glue and lies. * Day 1: Car reeked of smoke. Side mirrors fell off--glued on. * Day 4: Front bumper detached--also glued. Hidden collision damage. * Day 8: Car shook on freeway. Needed CV axle, control arm bushings, tires. $1,920 * April: Emil offered to "fix" the bumper. Glued it again. Took two trips before a poorly sprayed replacement was slapped on. * May: What seemed like a minor tire sensor issue turned out to be four cracked rims, causing constant deflation and major safety risks. $1500 * June: Rear bumper started falling off--also glued. Out-of-Pocket Repairs: * Mirrors: $640 * Rear Bumper: $980 * Suspension/Tires: $1,920 * 4 new rims: $1500 Total: $5040.- This wasn't a mistake. It was intentional fraud. Stay far away from Hunters Automotive and Emil Manesh. read more

The SUV I purchased about 2 years ago still runs well. I've never had any major issues with this Hyundai. I've only had to change the battery and the tires once. I really Like this SUV; I hope I can find one similar when I go back to find my next vehicle. Staff is super friendly and always assisted me when I needed to change my tires and everything. Excellent buying experience. read more

quite literally the worst dealership I ever dealt with. I bought a car off of them roughly 8 months ago. it was in and out the mechanic with miscellaneous problems that weren't that big up until a couple months ago. check engine light comes on. I take it to a mechanic and the engine is blown to hell. wasn't kept up with the maintenance it needed as the water pump gave out and the water leaked into the engine causing it to overheat and eventually fail. now I'm stuck with not only payments but a nice 2500$ tab to repair the engine. PLEASE don't ever deal with these guys as they have not a clue what the hell is going on 95% of the time. read more

Best car buying experience ever They were very professional & kind Got a great deal,happy with my purchase Thank you! I recommend them read more

I made an appointment with Arbi to view a car that was listed online. The appointment was set for the next day. However, the morning of the appointment he told me that the car had already been sold. Highly unusual business practices that take place here and eerily similar to other reviewers' negative experiences. There is definitely something not right about this dealership. Save yourself the trouble and shop elsewhere. read more

Norvik was pleasant and thorough. Great car at a great price. Thank you!

Had a really good experience with the staff here, all the way from the salesmen to the owner himself. Found pricing to be very fair and perfect for what I was looking for. Thank you so much guys! read more

Please don't buy from Hunter's Auto. They will scam you into buying an awful car and their warranty is useless. I bought a 2015 Nissan Versa Note and it's terrible. When I bought it, they didn't inform me that it needed a new battery. I took it home and it wouldn't start. I called and THAT's when they told me. Granted, they covered the battery but it was such a hassle to get fixed. Now that's not the only problem, this dealer didn't inform me that the transmission was faulty. I've never owned a Nissan so I was unaware of their existing transmission related lawsuit, but I wish Hunter's Auto informed me about it. This car is a complete piece of crap and I'm already considering my options regarding legal action. I may be out of luck though, but I want to see if there is anyway to make this problem of mine any easier to deal with. Long story short: look for a car somewhere else. DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH Hunter's Auto!!! read more

I just bought my used car from Hunters Auto and am very happy with it! I was able to take the car to a mechanic prior to purchasing it, and pretty much everything checked out! Positive reports about the car from the mechanic included recently replaced battery cells, good transmission, good brakes, and no oil leaks (I took the car to Pacific Motor Center which I will also rate 5 stars). Hunters Auto ensured that they were selling me a safe and reliable car. There were a few minor cosmetic issues, a hubcap was missing, the fender needed fixing, and the rear view camera was absent, but Arby (who helped me purchase the car at Hunters Auto) discounted the cost of the car to make up for those repairs. I got a great deal on the car which should give me some financial security in case there's any major repairs needed in the next few years. Prior to finding this car at Hunters Auto I had test-driven and done layperson diagnostic testing (I had researched how to do this for used cars) on 8 used Priuses in pretty good condition as well. However, with the discount and good mechanic report, this car became the winner and my car for hopefully years to come. read more
