This place is the actual worst! I was helping my friend with the purchase of a vehicle and asked them to list me(the buyer) as the lienholder and my friend as the registered owner of the car until she could pay me back. They struggled over this for quite some time and still ended up screwing it up. Not only did they mix up the registration and lienholder information, but they also listed the address incorrectly. So plates, registration, and title were sent back to this dealership. After all the paperwork we had filled out, you would think they'd attempt to call the phone numbers we had given, but nope... the plates just sat around until I stopped by looking for them. Then, I got home to find out all of the registration info is incorrect. Called them twice. Was hung up on twice and told that I insulted THEM and that I would have to figure out how to fix it myself. Buyer beware.... this place suckssssssss read more

Went in to either finance or completely purchase a truck, was told that if I wanted the truck for the cash price I'd have to bring the entire amount which is understandable, the boss himself had written the out the door price and said he'd honor the price for us the next day so we called off work and got there first thing in the morning to find out they raised the price on the truck by just shy of 4 grand not including lic/smog/doc. Everything seemed fine the first day but when we returned the next day cash ready we learned that they aren't trustworthy and we're just wasting our time. read more

Crooked as hell. My son bought a car from them and the sales person agreed to fix the issues with the car. When my son went back to talk to the salesperson he conveniently was no longer there. Needless to say he ended up at a reputable car dealership and got a new vehicle. This crappy crook changed the name of the business and still operates it. Sheet head read more

Another one of those if I could give zero stars, I would. Let me start off by saying, please go to another dealer. Save yourself the time, headache, and most importantly your sanity. There are plenty of other dealers. Do your homework and don't take bad reviews with a grain of salt. Whoever Jose is, perhaps some free online courses on customer service. They're free buddy, consider them. This "salesman" isn't used to dealing with customers who have done their homework. They prey on the ones willing to sign their life away with little to no knowledge of a good deal. He'll turn you away as soon as you question. Find a better dealer! read more

I originally stopped by J&M to check out a Chevy traverse I had been eyeballing for a little bit. I was helped very quickly, and I decided to look at a ford flex first. I ended up purchasing the Ford Flex (which is an absolutely amazing car) and the service was quick and helpful! The whole process was maybe 2 hours between looking, test driving and leaving the lot with my new car. They have a great selection of cars for everyone there, and they're great to work with. Our next purchase of a used car will more than likely be at J&M! read more

My wife purchased a highlander in January and they didn't want to give her the actual plates for the car cause they where having issues getting them and she was paying monthly on time so they told us to come in and if we wanted to choose another car so we chose a truck a Canyon they didn't allow me to test drive it but one or 2 miles. I thought it ran good when I got home I went to the store I started having transmission problems we brought the car back they supposedly fixed it. The owner himself sent me a bulletin board on canyons on how the torque converter goes out so much and how the transmission needs to be changed as well so often,so after I didn't want to deal with the truck after driving it for two days and it was messed up We went back to the dealer and we chose a Camry The owner told me was a Bullet and a good car as we proceeded to do the deal, he started telling me and my wife that we tricked him cuz we drove the truck all weekend and that he feels dazzled because he feels like we tricked him ahhh no you're not gonna get away with selling a truck with the messed up transmission and expect us to want to keep it so we brought the Camry home now and now the check engine light is on it as well make sure you guys test drive the cars long enough to see if it will give you issues or not but from my personal experience, I do not recommend anybody to come here for a dependable car and there mechanic doesn't really fix what he's suppose to do YOU GUYS BEWARE CAUSE THE OWNER TOLD US This will be the last time. I will be switching out your car but it wasn't our fault in the first place on why we had to return the Highlander one of the worst experiences I ever had they also beg you to do reviews for them before they sell you a car, even if you have not drove the car long enough. word of advice start selling better cars not cars that give issues or check engine light a day after buying also before we left with the Camry, we noticed the brakes were sinking all the way down when u break. they said their mechanic would fix the brakes but I really really doubt it. I believe he was probably in the back acting like he was doing something I think they need a professional reliable mechanic not a random guy who says oh I'm a mechanic they need a professional because I didn't see no difference breaks are still sinking down and even worse and check engine lights on 2 days after leaving this dealership PLEASE BEWARE read more

Would give a negative star if available! First off, manager Manny, became rude, condescending and sarcastic when he thought I was trying to find things on the vehicle to negotiate a lower price (2010 Honda Element). Seller Renigged the accepted offer once I returned with my mechanic and he found an issue that the vehicle needed fixed for safety (motor mounts). The dealer was given an opportunity to get item fixed but now refused to sell me the vehicle even when I offered to go half on the costs to fix the issue since we had an agreed offer. Instead, the dealer just kept the vehicle listed for sale but just lowered the price but did Not disclose the discovered the safety mechanical issued pointed out on the listing. I would beware of making deals with this dealer because apparently they want to hide important Known safety issues when discovered - makes you wonder what else they know and hide! The manager Manny and owner Mohamed need to have honesty and transparency an upmost priority over profit! This is an integrity issue that is Important! read more

Me and my husband decided to try this place after finding a car we liked on truecar. The only issue was it was over our budget but decided to see if they could work with us. We weren't even in the office for more than 15 minutes when Charles agreed to our budget. We were able to get the exact car we wanted that fit in our budget. I still can't believe we got that deal. This was the 1st time, buying a car was easy. read more

Did not buy a car here because of the bad service over the phone and because of the lies. I called about a GTI that they had listed online, the guy was really friendly and when asked if this was a salvage title the guy got upset and said "we dont sell cars like that... only car we buy from people who dont pay" which seemed good to me. A month passed and the car was still up for sale online, so I decided to drive to Riverside from Whittier. I checked online and the website said they closed at 8pm so I left my house at 6.30pm but traffic was bad. I called right after I passed the 15fwy from the 91fwy to let them know I was almost there and I was coming from LA county to see the GTI they had and to ask how far I was from the 91 and 15. The guy who was a different person from the first time said "you are 15 minutes away" and this was at 7.48pm and then he said "yes we still have it but we close at 8pm". I then asked him if they closed right at 8pm and he said YES. I then said "well thats too bad I might be 5 mintues late and if you are closed ill just check out the car and go back to LA" and he said "OK"... never have I seen a more unenthusiastic sales person. I got there at 8.10pm and they where gone. I looked at the car and it had a huge gauge on the rear door and the front driver door had a huge gap, my first thought was that it was probably broken into. Or at least an attempt to break into car. I go home quite disappointed, but still try to give them one last chance since I really wanted a GTI. I call them back the next morning and ask if the GTI was still there and of course they said YES. I asked if it had any problem and he said NO, then I told him I had seen the car the previous night and noticed a gap on the driver door and the sales guys tells me its because a air bag had gone off but it was no problem. I ask are you sure because it looks like someone tried breaking in.. and he says "NO NO NO just an air bag went off... O yeah and the rear door has a crack but that is it" and I tell him that the gap is really big and he still tells me no its perfect, not bad. Then he says well the door has frame damage because of an accident.... at this point I was upset at the lies and took my business elsewhere. read more

Bought a car, customer service could have been a lot better. When I picked up the car, it was very dirty from sitting on the lot. Gas tank empty. They never smogged it, I had to do that as it was missed. The Title was in transit per Stella for many weeks. Registration was not paid to date and they didn't charge me for it initially, I then paid it, ok.. The purchase/errors kept dragging on and on. Over-all I love the Jag and feel I got a reasonable deal although they told this was a great deal which is why it was dirty & no gas when picked up, Huh??? Really?? Very disorganized at J&M Auto Sales in my opinion. read more

I have bought many cars, but never had I had someone be honest !!! The best buying experience I have had a long time. I got the car I wanted for the price I wanted the payment I wanted I couldn't be any happier !!! Thank you read more

I wish there was a negative rating because this is By far the worst experience of my life. Sold me a truck with a transmission that needed to be fully rebuilt with no disclosure of that and also filled out the warranty form "for me" and told me the truck was as is. The sales rep kept saying the phrase as is as is like the warranty was not an option. Called the owner Manny and he would not answer and finally got a text which is insanely unprofessional and was told on the phone they don't offer every customer a warranty and when I heard that I instantly realized what just happened, a rip off. These guys are not here to help you and I can't stress enough that these guys shouldn't even be in business. I hope I save someone the devastation I'm experiencing. read more

I looked at a 2007 Jaguar online and was very interested. So, I contacted the dealer and they asked me to fill out the credit app. After completing it, I let them know. I waited for a day and a half before contacting them again. They finally contacted me and told me I would need a co-signer! I've not used a co-signer ever! I knew my credit wasn't the best and I let them know that before I filled out the app. The dealer also advertises that they will get you financed if someone else turns you down. I guess that works for everyone else but me! Poor customer service and false advertising! read more

Tony instantly got to work with me &' worked out a good deal! Im glad i came here &' would for sure recommend to a friend.

I read the other reviews but decided to go down to take a look at a car they have posted online. I walked up to find a salesperson. One was busy on the phone in another room obviously working hard and talking to a customer, but two were relaxing on their phones. I asked if the car I was interested in was available and, evidently, it was already sold. I asked if they had another vehicle like it. Instead of getting up to introduce themselves and show me around, they just told me to walk across the street to the other SUVs and they would send someone out. I looked and waited 10 minutes and nobody came out. There were ZERO other customers on the lot. Too bad for them. I have cash and am motivated. So, I can corroborate the other bad reviews about poor customer service and uninterested in taking the time to discover a potential customer's wants. I won't go back. read more

I purchased a pickup truck three years ago from J&M. The model I was looking for and got was a somewhat difficult one to find. But J&M had one and was relatively close to me. When I went to look at it, there was one guy working the lot. He was not very friendly and was hard to work with. Unfortunately, at the time we had a newborn at home and I didn't feel like I could keep looking far and wide for this model of truck. So, from the start, I had myself in a bad position for negotiating. Ultimately, he came down a bit on the price, but it was still quite a bit higher than market value. Regardless, I agreed to it and we started the paperwork. Initially, the truck came with a 3 month warranty but, when we were almost done, he said he could no longer include it due to the "low" price I was getting. I balked, but ultimately caved when he showed me a list of services their mechanic had just done including new brakes. Fast forward 3 weeks. I was pulling into work when suddenly the brakes failed. Thankfully I was almost at a stop when it happened and was able to completely stop by going up against the curb. I had the truck towed to a mechanic. He looked at it and said that one of the front brake pads had been replaced, but not the other one. The older, thinner pad had fallen out of place and caused the caliper to go in all the way which is why I had lost brake pressure. The total cost for the repair was $380. Had this happened at a more inopportune moment, the results could have been disastrous. I never tried to recoup the $380 from J&M. I doubt I would have gotten anywhere, but who knows. So I can't really ding them for that. Other than that, the truck itself has been great. The model is well rated in terms of reliability, so I doubt this is a reflection of where/how J&M sources and services their vehicles. As far as positives: the lot itself is relatively clean and in a decent area. The cars all looked pretty nice (no obvious clunkers). The paperwork process was very fast. Maybe, three years later, somebody else is working the lot and their service has improved. That's all I got. Overall, J&M did nothing to change my perception of used car lots. If I had to do it all over again, I'd allow myself to walk away if the negotiation didn't go like I wanted it to. I'd also have the vehicle inspected by a 3rd party. Really, this should apply to any used car purchase, but I'd be extra cautious with J&M. read more

We had been shopping for a new tundra for over a month! We had been to numerous (lost count) dealerships looking for the right truck. We were so concerned with what we could afford per month since we are on a single income, it was becoming difficult to find what we desired within our budget! Let me tell you guys, as soon as we got out of the car, JC was awesome! He gave us full reign to do a complete checkout of the vehicle and also allowed us to drive it around for a bit by ourselves which I thought was awesome! He was never pushy, never unprofessional at all, never made us feel uncomfortable in the slightest bit, and even accommodated us in our loan process beyond words after a snafu with our credit union! JC was VERY understanding and went above and beyond to find us a payment and terms to make this truck work for us. We could not believe the service or how quickly the process was! We drove away with the truck of our dreams and an hour later had to drive it through a blizzard back to Big Bear (yes that's right....a blizzard in May) and the truck did AMAZING!! A sincere THANK YOU to JC and staff for customer service and business excellence! We will DEFINITELY recommend these guys to everyone we know! By far the quickest and easiest vehicle purchase we've ever experienced!! Thanks again! - The Anderson's read more

JC took care of us from the very first phone call to walking us out the door to my new (used) car! Very professional and easy transaction, would easily recommend doing business here.

MUST READ: Do not solicit this business... After purchasing cars from them in the past without any issues, I went to purchase a car for my daughter. Their finance manager, Eric, inflated income on my daughter's application, told us the car was approved, gave her the vehicle, and then a week later, called and said they were going to repossess the vehicle because they were not able to prove her income. When we tried to call and figure out what was going on and why all this was happening, we were met by accusations and threats from Stella and Eric. I am livid to the point that I'll be seeking legal representation to contest this. Nonetheless, do not purchase a car from these people. They illegally spoke to me, my husband, and my father-in-law without even consulting my daughter for permission, they sent threatening text messages to a young adult, and they lied and inflated income on a credit application. They definitely did something wrong to try and make a sale, and do not respect customer privacy. read more

A great place to shop. Mohammad and angel were pleasure to work with. I would buy here again.

Thanks guys for you help on my new vehicle purchase experience was great, I would recommend this place to anyone who is interested on purchasing a car read more

I had been looking for an old 1991 big body Benz, and saw on an advertisement that there was one for sale at J & M Auto Sales. I called a few times inquiring about the car and spoke to various Salesmen who took my name and numbers and stated they would get back to me with a price quote. I called 3-4 times and never once got a response/call back. I would not do business with J & M Auto Sales. From the other reviews, this seems like a place where they try to rip you off, and have poor customer service. The price of the car I was interested in is close to double what it is actually worth. Not to mention, it has basically had the same amount of miles from 2006 until now, so who knows what type of driving condition it is in. I was able to find a similar car in even better condition for less than half of what these guys where trying to charge. I would stay away from this place. I do not normally write negative reviews, but this place really frustrated me, so I had to share my experience. Beware. read more

Worst place to buy a vehicle I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy after I took vehicle home engine light came on so I called Eric he said I had no warranty on the vehicle witch was a lie. The motor had bent lifters and rods so I fixed that out of my own pocket now the transmission is going out don't buy from them there crooks read more

I purchased a used truck and within weeks the check engine light went one, took it in no problem...2 months later again...same problem! Terrible customer service, they take your money, sweet talk you, and and soon as the warranty expires, they forget who you are. I have been asking for a detailed receipt on what was done to my vehicle from their so called mechanic and they won't produce one, but they want me to pay for the repairs. I think they run a shady operation and you should not trust them...or purchase anything from them!!! read more

We purchased a 2013 Volkswagen Passat this weekend from the dealership on Van Buren in Riverside. As soon as we got onto the lot we were greeted by a very nice gentlemen named Angel. He was very helpful and professional and patient as we looked at a few different cars. We decided on the passat because it drove smoothly, had low mileage and was a good deal. So Angel drew up the paperwork while we went to get something to eat. It was a very smooth process, we were in and out of the dealership with our car in 2 hours. It was the most pleasant experience i've had purchasing a vehicle. I highly recommend this dealership! Thank you Angel for all of your help!! : ) read more

Dont Ever buy a car from these guys. they are crooks and they sell junk . I bought a 17,000 truck .

These people are a big fraud. I purchased a veichle her and the finance company called me asking for a description about the car. These people added a luxurious model on the books and I had the basic model. The finance company found out, cut ties with J&M and when I took the car back they neglected to give me my down payment. They are a bunch of outlaws and scumbags. read more

I drive past this dealership every day on my way to work. Four times now I have stopped, practically holding cash in hand, ready to buy a truck, not once did a sales person ever come out. Even when I walked right in front of their office windows. So being someone that knows what they're looking for, and ready to buy, not to mention I was a car salesman at Carmax three years ago, it was kind of a letdown to see that they don't need my business. Another thing that disappointed me was more often than not the vehicles they are trying to sell, the trucks to be exact, are highly overpriced for what they are. One truck in particular that caught my attention was an 8-year-old F-350 with over 130,000 miles, and they're trying to sell it for 32 grand?? Get real. That truck should be no more than $15,000! I will be taking my money to a different dealership to find a newer, less used truck for cheaper, and it will be for sure thing that the customer service will be better since it can't get any worse than J&M auto sales. read more

I bought a car 3 years ago form J & M auto and it's been a great car and my experience was excellent. I would go back and buy from them again. read more

I just bought a subcompact Toyota here and the service was great. Applying online for credit approval made everything simple and I didn't have to waste hours in an office. They were quick to call back about an approval and helped me find the right car. The location was easy to find and their lot was clean and had tons of great cars for sale. Overall the service was quick and I really enjoyed my experience there. read more

The purchasing experience was great! The whole staff was so nice and helpful the only problem I had within a week my car started making these popping noises when I would turn any direction. I went to their personal mechanic that checked out the underpart of the car and said everything looked good. I took photos while it was up in the air so I could see what the underneath looked like since they would not let me in the shop due to insurance purposes which I totally understood. I noticed in my photos the underneath was rusted massively in may places which I googled later and found that the car was most likely in a flood when it was in a previous state from the east coast. Noticing the carpet had a white ring stain on the drivers carpet and both front seat bolts and tracks were completely rusted out. I loved my car just frustrated with the loud noises every time I turned either direction sounded like something was going to fall off! and the dealership telling me nothing was wrong with it. I had other mechanics take a look but 3,000 of work they said needed to be done and the dealership told me they were just trying to scam me that nothing was wrong. 6 months later the noises were getting worse and I was stuck with the car. I tried to trade the car into another dealership and no one would take it because of the possible flood damage they said after they inspected the car. Beware of what you purchase at any dealership, me being a woman never thought about flood damage cars and that was never mentioned on all the papers I was showed before the purchase.- Bummed Woman read more

Purchased a truck that I really wanted a couple months ago I thought the price was right unfortunately no warranty was available or offered, drove it home it so happens a week later the turbo on the truck goes out. I called the dealer for a Price on a new turbo $2600. It would not drive more than 10-15 mph I let the manager/owner know because they sent me a letter stating I owed $100 more on my registration and they had the tags so drove back to the location which was 45 min away from home and explained to them the situation told them I did not think it was fair that I purchase a vehicle that had mechanical problems not even a week after I purchased it. I was told I would receive a phone call the next day and have somebody sent over to my home to take a look at the truck never received a phone call and nobody ever showed up. I ended up purchasing the new turbo and having it installed in the truck spent over $3500.I'm very disappointed and upset I had to go through this,just be warned if you are planning on buying a used vehicle from this location to make sure you take a certified mechanic because you do not want to buy something and It break down within a week read more
