    Just purchased a 2008 Bmw 328i Sport Pkg from Ivan. The car is in perfect condition and still under Bmw CPO warranty. Ivan was extremely easy to deal with, kind, trustworthy and gave me a few hundred off on already the best deal on the market and waited for 3 days before I could get my finances together. I felt very comfortable buying from him, as if I was buying a car from a long time friend. He is an independent dealer and has a really small office, but he finds real gems at super competitive prices, because of his low overhead. After all we are buying a car not an office)). I recommend anyone looking for a car to consider Kivano Inc for their future purchase. From what I've seen, Ivan carries everything from budget cars to high end luxury units. He is truly a very good person. Give him a chance!

    2008 BMW M3 Convertible

    How many times have you dreaded buying a used car because you didn't want to deal with high-pressure, slimy used car dealers? Well, try Kivano and you'll rethink those ideas. I had been looking for a used BMW M3 convertible for a while when I came across one for sale at Kivano. Ivan made himself available to show the car and pointed-out any known issues. We agreed quickly on a price and he took care of a few small items prior to the sale (fixed wheel scuffs and installed a new battery). The car, although six years old had only 28,000 miles and was in very nice condition. I've seem a couple other cars he's had for sale and those also appeared very nice. On the day of the purchase, Ivan drove from the valley to my house in the southbay to pick me up to finalize the paperwork. This saved me from needing to find a ride; how many used car dealers do you know that would do that? I would definitely buy from Ivan (Kivano,Inc.) again and would recommend him to my family and friends.

    See all

    I have to say that at the beginning I was very hesitant to work with Ivan because I didn't know him at all.

    Bought a used ev from them 11/2025 for my wife. Was told 1. the license plates would arrive "in a…read morecouple weeks". We received the title and the registration in a few weeks. A month goes by, no plates. 2 months, no plates. 3 months, no plates. We had a windy spell and the paper plate tore in half and my wife got pulled over for it, and a ticket for not having permanent plates. During this time I tried texting the salesperson, emailing the salesperson, calling the salesperson... no response. Tried contacting the dealership through their contact form on their website, no response. Called the DMV and they had no record of plates being ordered for the car, and said the plates should have been on it when it was bought so I had to order new plates, which now don't match what's on the title. 2. I noticed the front didn't have a plate bracket on it and when I asked about it the salesperson said "LA county doesn't require front plates on EV's." Which I thought was wrong and I checked when I got home and yeah, he was wrong. All passenger vehicles operating in the entire state of CA require front plates. 3. The charging connecter was broken. The nub that clamps down to secure the connection to the car. Not a huge deal, it still charges fine, but still. 4. Not a big deal but was promised one of those leather key fob covers. The salesperson said he'd call when he got it. Never called. This salesperson clearly was just after the sale and once it was done, wiped his hands of it. Got an OK deal on the car (1 star) and the service people seem ok to deal with so far (2nd star). Those are the only positive things I can say about this place. The post-sale experience with the salesperson (ie: non existent) and the communication with the location in general were frustrating and make me sigh in annoyance when I have to take the car for service. Luckily the service department is a better experience.

From the moment we connected with Danny, he was professional, transparent, and incredibly responsive. He took the time to answer every question we had, walked us through all of the numbers clearly, and made sure we understood every part of the deal. There was zero pressure, which is rare in car sales, and instead it felt like we had someone genuinely advocating for us to get the best possible deal. What really stood out was Danny's communication and follow-through. Whether it was sending over pricing breakdowns, explaining lease options, or helping us compare trims and payment structures, he stayed on top of everything and made the process smooth and stress-free. He was patient while we evaluated different scenarios and never made us feel rushed. Thanks to Danny, we drove away in a new Bronco Sport, and we couldn't be happier with both the vehicle and the overall experience. If you're looking for someone who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely focused on taking care of the customer, Danny is the person to work with at Vista Ford.

    Very disappointed with my experience…read more I brought my car in for a recall, an oil change, and an electrical issue that was causing the vehicle to go into battery safe mode. The advisor who initially helped me was very nice and recommended additional service since I was approaching 60,000 miles. I specifically asked about the cost and was told around $500-$600. The written estimate showed $528. When I came to pick up the car, the bill was suddenly over $900. The original advisor had already left, and the person at the counter seemed uninterested in helping. When I questioned the charges, I was told the estimate "didn't include parts." He wasn't joking. On top of that, the electrical issue I originally came in for was never addressed. I was told the battery was fine, and the guy at the counter had no idea what I was talking about. He explained that electrical problems are handled by another department and not by maintenance :-) They even got my name wrong. I ended up paying $844, my issue remains unresolved, but hey, they washed the car ! Poor communication, unexpected charges, and unresolved issues are not what I expect from a dealership service department. Lesson learned -- I won't be back.

Before meeting Jeremy and Sofia, I visited two other Porsche dealerships in California. Unfortunately, those experiences left me feeling overlooked and discouraged. I felt like I wasn't being taken seriously. The interactions felt rushed, and I never got the sense that anyone was interested in understanding what I was looking for or helping me through the process. That all changed when I connected with Jeremy. From our very first conversation, he was patient, responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping me find exactly what I wanted. He was actually recommended by another car sales representative at another brand! Sofia was equally incredible and helped make the entire process seamless & personal. It felt like she and I were achieving a milestone together. Everyone who owns a Porsche knows you're not just buying a car, you're investing in a new lifestyle. What I thought would happen a few years out, was made a reality by these two! Thank you, Jeremy and Sofia, for helping turn a dream into reality and for making one of the biggest milestones of my life such a memorable experience. I'll be recommending both of you to anyone looking for a Porsche.

First off, Cadillac of Calabasas, thank you for not outsourcing your service dept customer service to another state, it was so nice to speak to an actual live person to make my appt. And to let the person know exactly what I need. Second, you have the BEST Service Director on your team. I've known Carmen since 2009 when I used to go to Cadillac of Thousand Oaks for my Yukon's, Escalade's and now Vistiq. Carmen took care of me and my cars. To know that she is at Calabasas, all it well and perfect!! I will be notifying many of my friends and families with their precious Cadillac's to go to Cadillac of Calabasas. I recently wrote a scathing review for Cadillac of Thousand Oaks and I will not recommend that service department to my worst enemy! Cadillac of Calabasas will treat you the way you deserve as a Cadillac owner. Thank you again, Cadillac of Calabasas and especially to Carmen. She took care of me as always.

    I had a very disappointing experience with this dealership…read more I am currently 8 months pregnant, and when I first visited the dealership, I found the car I wanted to purchase. After making my decision, I contacted Alex, the sales representative, and promptly provided all the required documents. My only request was that the process not take an unnecessarily long time because of my pregnancy. Alex then transferred me to Maria, and unfortunately My experience changed completely. From the beginning, she spoke to me in a disrespectful and condescending manner. At one point, she even told me that I probably didn't understand things because of "cultural and language differences." I found that comment extremely offensive and inappropriate. No customer should ever be made to feel judged or stereotyped because of their background or language. I decided that Im not comfortable doing business with a dealership that made me feel discriminated against, so I chose to purchase the same vehicle elsewhere. I hope the dealership takes this feedback seriously and ensures that every customer is treated with professionalism, respect, and dignity.
