I've purchased 4 vehicles from Art so far, and without exception, my experiences with his service…read morehave been excellent. Working with Art is like having an industry insider working for you. Actually, that's exactly what happens. I consulted with him on what type of truck to buy for a particular towing situation; on what type of car to get for the new driver in our family; about lease vs purchase options when an SUV lease was up; and again when I knew exactly what vehicle I wanted, and just needed to find the best deal ASAP. I always felt like I got great advice, exactly the right vehicle, and at an excellent price. Of course I am happy to save the time and hassle of going into dealerships, by using Art's oh-so-convenient service. But what I value the most is that, because he's a broker and not beholden to any particular automaker or dealership, I know he's giving me unbiased information. I was a little hesitant to use Art's service the first time, because I'd never used an auto broker before, and I didn't really understand how it worked. But as you can tell, I am now a raving fan. He can get any vehicle, any brand. He helps figure out what best suits my needs of the moment -- and I love that there's no reason not to lay all my cards on the table when talking with them, because he's working FOR me. Using Art doesn't cost anything extra (he gets paid by whichever dealer has the best vehicle for my situation), and I save so much time and hassle by using him rather than going to dealerships, that the choice to work with him is really a no brainer. And the peace of mind is...priceless.

My experience with Art with The New Car Company has been exceptional! I have purchased 2 cars…read morethrough Art over the years and have referred him to several friends. His customer service is above and beyond. Art knows the car buying process can be a little tricky when trying to understand what car is the best for you and what are the best deals. He also knows this is a big purchase for you so he goes out of his way to make sure you are very well informed about your options and you get what you want, no surprises. He guides you step by step, with no pressure on what or when to buy. When the process is over, he is standing at your doorstep with keys to your new car. Thank you for all your support, Art. Looking forward to the next car.

The description is a lie. It hasn't been fully restored!!! Its an oil leaking rust with bondo throughout the entire body, the white 2 tone isn't even paint, it's a vynal wrap. The rust has also been painted over. Thr guages in the dash do not work, the turn signal isnt even present on the steering column and the AC does not work. They were forced to take it back and give my bank the money back because I refused to transfer it to my name. Tom discouraged me from coming out there to pick the truck up myself because he knew I wouldn't buy it if I had seen it 1st. My mistake for taking his word, he is 100 percent a lier !!!! Do not buy anything from them without seeing it 1st hand and in person. Inspect every aspect of the vehicle from top to bottom before you give them a cent !!!! I will follow up on every site that allows me to give an honest review from one end of the internet to the other to warn people of this shoddy scam artist. Also.... read the Google reviews, I was not their 1st victim!!!!!!!!!!! Below I have provided the photos from their website and the photos of the truck from when I recived it. Also the vehicle description from their website. All lies. It's relisted at $55,000

By the following day I decided to return to buy the van, it was fairly priced and very nice. I got a good vibe from Sam, which also factored into my decision. It turned out to be one of my best vehicle buying experiences ever! It was a transaction completely free of drama and BS. I have now had the van for a few weeks and it has been great, but even better was being able to buy it without any of the crap that so frequently goes with a vehicle transaction. Thank you, Sam, I really appreciated that! If and when the need arises, I will be back, and will refer friends if they are looking. There is no better recommendation than that.

Also visited during COVID era... everyone wore masks, gloves, stayed 6 or more feet away and there was hand sanitizer galore. Bottom line, great mechanic. Great shop. Great guy.

Today, May 17th, I went to Marvin K. Brown GMC, and from the start, it was one of the worst…read moredealership experiences I have ever had. I stood outside in the parking lot for about 10 minutes, and no one came to greet me or ask if I needed help. I then walked inside the showroom floor, and two employees made eye contact with me from their offices and still did not acknowledge me at all. I went back outside and waited until I finally found someone. That person was already helping another customer, so he contacted someone else to assist me. Eventually, I received help and test drove the 2026 GMC Sierra 1500 TurboMax. Honestly, I loved the truck. It was exactly what I was looking for, and I was genuinely interested in purchasing it that same day. However, once we got to the numbers, everything changed. I made it clear from the beginning that I was a cash buyer. Compared to other dealerships, they were only discounting about $4,000 off MSRP, which already was not very competitive. I understand that GMC is currently offering strong Memorial Day incentives on the GMC Sierra lineup, including the $3,500 trade-in assistance and other rebates. However, those incentives are being offered across the board at multiple GMC dealerships, so that is not something unique to this dealership. The main difference came down to the actual dealer discount. Other dealerships are discounting these trucks by $7,000 to $7,500 before incentives, which made this deal much less attractive. Then I noticed an accessory fee of $2,290 added to the invoice without any real explanation of what it even included. The biggest red flag was the $5,495 service contract they added without me ever asking for it. From what I understand, that was an extended warranty. In the 15 vehicles I have purchased over the years, I have never bought an extended warranty because I usually trade in or get rid of my vehicles before they even reach 50,000 miles. There was no reason for that to automatically be added. On top of that, I had my 2021 Lexus IS350 F Sport with only 25,000 miles appraised at another GMC dealership just three days ago, and they offered me $39,000 for it. Since then, I have only driven the vehicle about 35 more miles. This dealership only offered me $35,000, which was a $4,000 difference and honestly felt like a very bad lowball offer. Obviously, I was not going to accept that deal. The only reason I did not already purchase a GMC Sierra at the other dealership was because they did not have the color I wanted. Otherwise, I would have already bought the truck at Honor GMC. Overall, the entire process felt full of hidden fees, lack of transparency, and pressure tactics. It honestly gave me a really bad feeling throughout the deal. If I could rate this experience a negative 1, I would. I was honestly disappointed because, living in San Diego, I wanted to support a local dealership and buy the truck here. Unfortunately, because of this experience, I will now most likely have to drive to Tustin GMC or somewhere in Orange County, where I have consistently had much better experiences and pricing. It sucks having to take my business somewhere else, but if it is going to save me money and provide a more transparent buying experience, then why not? I just wish the customer service, honesty, and transparency had been much better because I truly wanted to buy this vehicle today.

Brown since it was the closest dealership in my area, and that's where I met Joseph Bates. Right from the start, Joseph was professional, personable, and easy to talk to. Throughout the entire process he has been nothing but kind, honest, and trustworthy. He treated me like a friend and treated my truck as if it were his own. He helped me from beginning to end and made sure every issue was addressed. Another person who deserves major recognition is Charley, the technician who worked on my truck. Charley was incredibly honest, knowledgeable, and determined to get my truck running in top shape. After bringing the truck in multiple times, he could tell how frustrated I was, and he made it his mission to make sure my truck would run better than ever. Joseph Bates and Charley -- thank you both so much for your patience, your hard work, and your dedication to helping me through this. I'm genuinely grateful I met you both, and you absolutely deserve recognition for the way you take care of your customers.

Parts department rep on the phone advised he could not tell me the size of the rotors because all they can see is the part numbers. I figured, ok that's fine, but when I asked if I could provide him the VIN and he give me the part number so I could find it on my own, he refused to give me the part number. Rep was not helpful and was rude on the phone. I ended up calling a different Infiniti dealership in San Jose and they also advised they couldn't give me the measurements but requested the last 8 of my VIN and then ended up providing me the part numbers. Will not be using this dealer moving forward.
