Went to their store to look at a used GMC truck , the sale price looked good but it took forever to get a breakdown of the final price , what I had figured was a thousand dollars less then they had . I had my own financing setup but they still kept badgering me about filling out a credit app. I kept telling them I didn't want my credit dinged. Finally when I was going to walk they gave me a breakdown. They wanted $1000 for an alarm system they insisted I had to take , they said the bank required it. I reminded them that I had my own financing. Finally when I was out the door they offered to take the $1000 charge off the right up. Pretty sleazy way of doing business. Oh and I walked read more

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!! If you need a used car go elsewhere this dealer is absolutely horrible they will sell you a piece of crap! For double what's it worth and they will rip you off with a down payment and pretend like their doing you a favor! . The warranty that they sell you only covers what they would like it to cover not what it says on the brochure it covers . We took our car to get fixed at the garage that works with them only to find out its own by family of the people that own that dealer . That same garage does all the repairs on all the cars that the dealers sell they do a quick fix me up and then they sell those cars "like new" they are big Time scammers . Try your luck elsewhere please. read more

I tried to get an OTD price from these guys for three days, the fourth salesman finally called me back and told me there would be some BS additional price of about $2500 for their "bonus" LoJack/ELO security system, which you can't decline. Says that all of there cars come with it. Buyer Beware!!!! read more

After years of buying junkers and riding them until they croaked, I decided that it was time to invest in a newer car. Having been pre-approved through my bank, I don't have great credit and was excited about the chance to reestablish my credit and having a reliable vehicle. The rep I initially worked with was not there. The person who WAS there, Mr. Chavez, was a complete asshole. He didn't have any of the initial information collected from me by the first sales person and was agitated when inquired about the reason. I needed to replace my CA ID, but brought my passport and my roommate; who is licensed to drive. This was a problem that did not come up after my initial visit but after I made the 1.5 hour bus ride to Pacoima with my down payment. I communicated with both the sales rep and the finance managers TWICE. If one of these clowns had said to me, " We cannot process your application using the passport but need a valid CA ID or license". I would have taken steps to get that info before taking two buses to the shitty, desolate town of Pacoima. When I realized that I'd just wasted 2 hours of my life, I was very upset. the response from this crappy, 2nd rate dealership was complete indifference. They didn't give two shits about whether I bought the car or not. The finance manager, Chavez even had the nerve to send a mocking text message to my phone after I'd walked out of the dealership. A real class act. There is a recent NFHA report about racial discrimination at auto dealerships. I am a black woman. The thought occurred to me after this experience. Most likely this group of ball-scratching latino men are just a bunch of assholes but I wonder if that's better or worse? read more

They came right out the gate trying to up charge me. The day after i bought the car. I needed to get the oil changed. And they gave me a dead key. I would describe them as negligent inconsiderate and selfish. Go anywhere else. read more

I went to Karplus with my friend to buy a white BMW for her, she has been dreaming about this car for a while! It was a special day for us, when we got there a young man Amir greeted us and we explained him what we are looking for. He was so quick and helpful finding us the exact car my friend was looking for. He also treated us like VIP, he made us laugh, got us a great deal. Overall our buying experience was great! it was fun to work with him he definitely made it easy and enjoyable. My friend is so happy!!! read more

I found a car online and contacted this dealership to see if the car was on the lot. At first they were helpful and said the car was on the lot and I could have my mechanic take a look at the car. They said they would send a message to confirm that the car was in fact on the lot as I would be driving from Simi Valley to see the car. I received a message stating that the car was there and I could ask for Gustavo the next morning, and if the car was not on the lot, Gustavo would let me know. I got to Karplus and was informed that Gustavo was not there and the car was not on the lot as promised. I was given the run around being told that they did not know why the car was not on the lot. Finally they said the car was taken out for service, but they could not say why the car was being serviced. I will not be coming back to this dealership. Encontré un automóvil en línea y contacté a este concesionario para ver si el automóvil estaba en el estacionamiento. Al principio me ayudaron y me dijeron que el auto estaba en el estacionamiento y que mi mecánico podía echarle un vistazo al automóvil. Dijeron que enviarían un mensaje para confirmar que el auto estaba en realidad en el estacionamiento, ya que estaría manejando desde Simi Valley para ver el auto. Recibí un mensaje que decía que el auto estaba allí y que podía preguntar por Gustavo a la mañana siguiente, y que si el automóvil no estaba en el estacionamiento, Gustavo me lo avisaba. Llegué a Karplus y me informaron que Gustavo no estaba allí y que el automóvil no estaba en el estacionamiento como se había prometido. Me dieron la vuelta diciéndoles que no sabían por qué el auto no estaba en el estacionamiento. Finalmente dijeron que sacaron el auto para el servicio, pero no pudieron decir por qué el automóvil estaba siendo reparado. No volveré a este concesionario. read more

I found this dealer at carguru. Yes, first it was sketchy. However, I'm open minded and wanted to check out their inventory. Really great inventory with variety of great vehicle. Of course before visiting i wanted to call to make sure the car i wanted is still available (toyota 4runner). Joel was the person to help me and was able to make everything smooth. Showed me the car once i got there. Car fax was presented right away it was great. Joel made sure that what I'm getting is what i really want. He showed me other cars, although i was already set on the 4runner. He made my FIRST buying experience really good. Once financing comes up i thought to myself, "man this will take long". AJ handled our finance. He answered all my questions, he made the signing very fast. Also big respect to both AJ and Joel for handling me and my father. read more

F this place. Went once to look around, and someone "helped" me. After I shared how much my budget was (which was not bad), he walked away like my money wasn't worth his time. I thought maybe this salesman sucked so I decided to give it a 2nd chance and go back to look at a particular vehicle. I get there, park and saw a couple of salesmen walking my way....and they stop to talk to each other instead. I step out of my car and wait for 5 minutes while they look at me like idiots and still dont ask if I need help. I'll just take my business somewhere where someone actually wants it...it was a cash deal but oh well. read more

Do not go here. They tell you you're getting a certain deal and then they sneak a different one into the paperwork. Read your contract because they will pull a fast one on you! read more

They lure u in w low prices on vehicles that are not available when you go in to see them. They're still in safety check, or being cleaned, or at the warehouse; but they'll be happy to show you these very similar vehicles that are just a few thousand more. Complete bait and switch. From reading their reviews here and that Google review place, this bait and switch technique is a common practice. They do similar things when discussing financing. You won't get the deal you were promised in the end. Stay away. read more

We just got a Mercedes benz for my wife,nice ride she loves it THANKS JD for take care of us!!! If you're planning to buy a car ask for JD!!!! read more

This place is great! Mark Pedroza helped me get EXACTLY the car that I wanted and was very helpful! I sent him a text earlier in the day to make sure I was able to drive off with a Q50 sport since I lived about 3-4 hours away. His responses were fast ! And, this guy actually took the time to learn about the car and was able to answer all of my questions about it. Uncle Armen is also amazing! Made me and my family feel like home. They will forever have my business as well as well as my family's business. Exceptional service here! Don't waste your time somewhere else! read more

I just want to start off by saying thank you KARPLUS for making this possible for me to get a car! Not only did I get a car but I also got great customer service and a great experience. A special thank you to Eli Landaverde for greeting me as I walked in to the dealership and through the process of purchasing the vehicle! We ended up leaving here in with 2 cars. If you need a car and a good sales man come here you won't be disappointed! read more

It's funny that Rey feels the need to reply to my review. I did, in fact, speak to him in the phone the day after I walked off the lot. When I explained the situation to him, his words to me were the exact same as the salesman's, defending the fees. It's not until I posted on yelp that any sort of "miscommunication" was mentioned. It's ok, Rey, you guys do have pretty good cars and prices - my review isn't going to hurt you! As I mentioned before, even after the "fees" the mustang was still a great price - I just wasn't willing to accept paying another full third of the advertised price. read more

This is probably the best dealership I have seen in my life, professional team, nice cars, clean titles. you can find $2000 car and you can find high luxury car in here ,big inventory and honestly good prices, I just bought Toyota Corolla 2018 from Karplus and my salesman was Max he help me to find the right vehicle, he were very helpful and patient, we test drove three cars and we decided to go for the 2018 Corolla, I definitely recommend this place to family and friends, make sure to ask for Max, thank you Karplus read more

Beware this dealership that uses below market pricing to get you to come to the dealership, then when it is time to buy they add $1495 (to force you to buy a security chip). We discovered this fee when securing financing & we left the dealership fast. read more

Worse place ever!!!!!! You check the car via market place, decide to go and take a look and they can't find the car, make you drive from one site to the other one blaming each other, so unprofessional!!!! And I was planning to purchase the car cash.. worse place ever! read more

I bought my car here at Karplus last month. The sales representative Mo Kadkhodazadeh was very helpful and honest and friendly , no pressure and he tour me and Dad to the place. Lon Aquino also help us and explain how everything works.

My father and I where greatly satisfied with the exceptional service we where provided by Jesse,Allen,and A.J. We would definitely be coming back to buy another vehicle in the near future for my daughter once she gets her driving license. read more

Initially, we were helped by JD over the phone. His politeness towards us during the phone call won us over! We had spoken to other dealers in the area and they were very rude and seemed annoyed by our questions. When we arrived at Karplus, we were met by Joel (JD was already with another customer) and he was very pleasant. The only downside is they didn't have a lot of the cars that I liked from their website. So it is best to call ahead. But I did find end up with one of my choices which was a 2013 Kia Rio. Everything was just as advertised. Joel was patient with us. We were also helped by Lon with the paperwork, terrific guy! Finance managers they have there, from my observations, were very hard working and really helped everyone they met with. Overall, my experience with Karplus was great. Will definitely come back here for our next car. read more

Very nice customer service and friendly staff. Lon and Puya and Eleazar are all fantastic! Had to come back to re- fill out paper work because they used the wrong county's tax rate which is my only complaint but we were in and out fast. Other than that, good service and great car. read more

I knew you guys were going to low ball me on the trade-ins. That wasn't the deal breaker. But just so you know, I'll never ever buy a car from a place that installs 3rd party security systems and other crap that you have no choice but to pay $1500-plus for. Reputable places do not do this. read more

People please beware. Don't waste your time or money with this place! They are selling bad cars to people. Biggest regret was coming to this place. If I could have put a negative zero I would of. read more

Karplus, what can I say; but awesome service. We came her pretty late and got my Honda I was eyeing online. I was super happy with my purchase. Alex B. Helped make this purchase smooth. He got my husband a really low rate. If your looking to buy they have tons of cars to choose from. They will work with you, everyone here was super nice! THANK YOU ALEX, DON, REY, AND ALLEN. You guys were awesome! read more

Be careful, they always add over $2,200 for gps and security that you don't need nor want. Terrible place! The good reviews are probably from karplus employees themselves. Trust the 1 star reviews, they are accurate. Hopefully covid-19 will cause this dealership to go bankrupt. read more

Man, all I can say is typical shady dealer... I called on a vehicle last year (October 2016) went and looked at it, found out it was a branded title (lemon law buyback) which is not as bad as salvage but not much better. Today, they still have the same car listed, slightly reduced price from then, but they still aren't disclosing the branded title status! I called and spoke to a different sales guy this time, asked him how long have they have had the vehicle he replied "like a month" so immediately a lie... they want you to come in and waste your time hoping they can pressure you into buying... the vehicle I am talking about is priced about right, if it were clean title! As it is they want about 4K more than it is worth. Buyer beware as always. In response to Below: I don't "use yelp" to get back at anyone, this is over a year ago now, I barely use yelp at all, when a business is particularly shady I feel it is a good tool to inform others. You said I made a low offer, the sales guy pressured me to make an offer, I didn't want the car with lemon law buyback, but I offered 11,000$ because that's what I'd have paid... after 20 minutes the salesman returned and tried to push me up to 13,000$... read more

We just purchased a vehicle from Karplus and had the pleasure of being assisted by Alex. He provided wonderful customer service. He went above and beyond to make us feel very comfortable and taken care of. He even waited with us in the cold and made conversation. It made the whole process very pleasant and friendly. We only wish he could have assisted us the whole way through. Thank you Alex for all your help! Definitely will be coming back for another car because of Alex. read more

I'd been looking into buying a VW Passat 2013 car for some time. I planned to search on the internet but one of my friends suggested that I get a quote from Karplus first. This turned out to be a great suggestion, because I found the car I was looking for with unbeatable price. I stopped at Karplus and spoke to sales consultant Ken, who explained everything with patient and not pushy at all. Within an hour the process was finished, and I drove out with my 2013 Passat. Very happy and thanks to my buddy Eddie to recommend Karplus. Very nice sections, very friendly staff. Thank you karplus read more

I was traveling for business and decided to purchase my beautiful 2010 Audi S5. Tony was very easy to work with and was asking if he could be of assistance before I even got out of the car! Lon was also very helpful in purchasing the car. He talked me into getting an extended warranty on the car and initially I thought it was an silly purchase but I'm glad I did in fact buy the warranty. Once I got home I had some cylinder misfire issues but Allen was good about making sure this would be covered so that's a huge relief! Over all a good experience. Thanks for everything Tony. Especially following me and bringing me back from the rental car place! read more

I'm a potential buyer and I called to check the availability on a van. Than I offer a price in cash that was 2000 dollars less than the out the door. He literally answer me that unless I was Donald Trump that price was absolutely insane. Now... he could just say no to my offer. Worst dealer I ever experienced. The prices listed do not even cover the optionals of the vehicles! They added couple of thousands dollars for the optional of a cargo van, like what radio and speakers because that was all it had. Plus registration, taxes and license. UNBELIEVABLE. read more

Don't bother if you have challenging credit, they will ask for 30% Down payment!!! I was looking to purchase a car selling for $6883 & Steve, the stupid (thick accent) sales guy said they needed 30% down... which in his little mind calculates to $3000. I said "no, 30% equal to about $2000, why are you asking for $3k" Without thinking he responded, we need $3000 because you have challenging credit. Rude & unprofessional Don't shop here unless you have good credit or pocket full of cash. read more

I got a great car at a great price for my daughter. Great service, good people, good vibe. I have the pleasure of thanking Allen, Leon, Eli and Javier for assisting me in finding the right car at the right place. Would recommend to friends. Awesome! read more

We came here looking for a reasonable priced truck in the $10-15k range. They showed us a $18k truck and as we left to look at a few more places they offered to "cut us a deal" if we bought now for $12k instead. It's listed on their website for $12k. That's $6000 they attempted to add to the price. read more

From the moment I got there I felt good about the place. I was greeted by a gentleman name Marcos who was kind enough to help me find my new car. I felt no pressure from them. Ryan who helped me with finance and paperwork explained everything very well and made it a pleasure to buy my first car!!! Thanks karplus team!! read more

Amazing place to purchase a car. They will truly work with you! Hooman is the man to see!!! Fast quick and to the point!!!!

BEWARE!!!! Every stereotype stems from the truth, and these people are exactly why used car salespeople have such a bad reputation...Amir and everyone here are the epitome of what comes to mind when you think of underhanded, dishonest, sleazy used car salespeople! I called yesterday and spoke with Amir about a specific S550 that I saw on their website. He actually seemed like a nice guy, so I drove 40 miles to meet him and look at the car. The first thing I did when I got there as walk around and look for the car I came for, and I saw one similar so I walked up to it, but it was a pile of junk, so I kept looking for the car I came for and couldn't find it. So I asked someone where I can find Amir, and I asked him where the car was that we discussed, and he pointed me back to the pile of junk that I saw when I first got there. The car on their website that we discussed on the phone had 90k miles, beautiful chrome stock rims, and appeared to be in prestige condition...the pile of junk he pointed me to had 103k miles, cheap aftermarket rims, and the buttons on the steering wheel look like someone's lapdog was chewing on them! Here's the kicker: the car I saw on their website and the pile of junk on their lot had the exact same VIN number! Amir's only response was a confused deer-in-the-headlights look, and his "manager" became extremely defensive and told me the "internet on my phone" was wrong, and that he was going to go check the "internet in his office." Interestingly enough, both of our Internets matched, and his only response was "if you don't like the car then don't buy it." That's when I told all of them that they're scum for blatantly lying to get somebody to come to their dealership. On my way out, I saw what appeared to be a very nice couple that was about to be taken advantage of by these crooks, and so I warned them that they're about to be taken advantage of and suggested to them they find a car somewhere else. This upset Amir to the point that he told that couple another lie: he had the nerve to tell them that I told him on the phone that I'm open to any type of Mercedes, and that I'm just upset because we couldn't make a deal happen! He couldn't even be honest about why I was upset! Attached are pictures from my experience, the left side is what's advertised on their website, and the right side are pictures of the pile of junk Amir told me I called about...those are actual pictures that I took myself. Just like I tried to help that nice couple from being ripped off, my hopes are that this yelp review protects all future honest, hard-working consumers from being ripped off by these con artists! read more

The business model for Karplus Warehouse Inc. in Pacoima is based upon misleading advertising at best and false advertising at worst. They post a slightly below Kelly Blue Book selling price hoping to draw consumers into the business only to ultimately attempt to sell the vehicle at a significantly higher cost. When you purchase a new vehicle from a dealership, you'll purchase a base model and then pay for additional options you desire from the manufacturer (i.e. base model, leather seats w/ heating, 3rd row seating, moonroof, etc.) and the manufacturer will customize the vehicle to your requirements for an additional fee for each option selected. This business advertises the vehicle for the base price and then mandates that you pay whatever options they decide were installed on the vehicle by the manufacturer and previous owners! THOSE ARE SUNK COSTS UNRELATED TO A USED CAR SALE! This business approach implies that the manufacturer charges Karplus Warehouse Inc. a second time for the overpriced options, and that they had to pay more for the vehicle by the previous owners. This is patently absurd. Say the first owner has an anti-theft system installed by the manufacturer and the second owner replaced the stock rims with aftermarket rims and added a supercharger to the motor. Why should Karplus Warehouse Inc be entitled to tack on fees in excess of the base price for everything that deviates from the base model as if they're extras I chose? I didn't choose an anti-theft system, after market rims, or a supercharger yet they'll add these costs when you're at the site as additional fees. They didn't incur these costs, yet they expect the consumer to do so. These additional fees not only significantly exceed the advertised price, they result in an overpriced (relative to Kelly Blue Book) used car sale. This is the first used car dealer I've seen operate under this business model. read more

I went here with my girlfriends brother. Knowing a bit about the business of selling cars from my best friend being in it. I was prepared for the shady business used car dealerships can be. - He needed a truck that same day, he found one he liked it was a bit beat up but whatever everything was fine, he choose a truck that he liked and assumed everything about it was fine except for what he could see. 2 hours go by of pricing and financing ( they're getting him excited about the truck making him think he's lucky for getting it whatever it's business right) Here's where the issues started . First thing they did and it's how a lot of used car dealerships do is give us a high APR the banks APR Rate was at-least 5% lower than what they gave us and I knew right off the bat ( one of the was they make a lot of money is by charging a higher APR than what the bank gives them) I understand it's part of the business. But they really shot a bit high on their profits right there. During the end they nearly cut the originally APR in half ( as expected) making the buyer (my gfs brother) feel really good. BUT THEN ONCE THEY MADE HIM FEEL AS IF THEY WERE HOOKING IT UP SOME HOW, AFTER TAKING UP HALF HIS DAY AND WHILE KNOWING HE NEEDED A TRUCK THAT DAY TO BE ABLE TO WORK! THEY LET HIM KNOW THAT IF HAD FRAME DAMAGE!!!!!!! . That's bad business and I can't respect that. If you can then this might be your dealership. UPDATE: There really isn't anything that can be done. The truck was bought already and finance through the bank. There's really nothing that can be done and I guess we found out why the prices are low, ( the car ended up having frame damage) read more
