I had already done quite a bit of research and had spoken with another broker before contacting…read moreModern, so I had a pretty good sense of the market and what I wanted. What stood out from the beginning was the transparency. Modern's fee was clearly explained upfront, and Z took the time to explain how the process worked and what he would handle for me. I was also very specific about the car: an IONIQ 5 Limited RWD in Digital Teal with the Dark Green interior, with no dealer-added accessories. At a time when buyers in other parts of the country were reporting waiting lists for this model, Z found the exact combination I wanted at Riverside Hyundai. Just seven days after my first contact with him, I got the call that my car was available. He also negotiated a deal I was very happy with and structured the lease with $0 out of pocket at signing, with the available Hyundai and California incentives covering the drive-off costs. What I appreciated most was that Z didn't disappear once he found the car. He stayed involved through the credit application, contract, and delivery process. Before I signed, he gave me the exact numbers and terms I should see in the contract so I could make sure everything matched what we had agreed to. He also prepared me for the finance conversation and told me to contact him before agreeing to anything additional if something changed. That made the whole process much less stressful. Instead of trying to decipher a lease contract and dealership finance conversation on my own, I had someone knowledgeable in my corner who already knew exactly what the deal was supposed to look like. Z was responsive, straightforward, and easy to work with throughout the process. I would definitely use Modern Auto Brokers again.

Basically my dash board lit up like a Christmas tree. It was time to find a new reliable car that was within my budget. Full disclosure, a friend of mine gifted me Z's services, however now having been through this experience, I do not foresee ever getting a car without Z. I was hesitant about it at first--it seemed too good to be true. But after speaking with Z, he immediately put us at ease. He is genuine and he really cares about his clients and making sure it's the right fit for them. He helped us identify what we wanted right down to the color and trim. He even introduced us to some options we never would have imagined for ourselves and it turned out to be the perfect match for us. Z even went as far as walking us through the financing options and weighing whether it would be better for us to purchase or lease. He spelled out the numbers and guided us to make the decision that was truly in our best interest. And then he even held our hand through filling out all of the forms. Things we would have been apprehensive about at a dealership, he simplified and allayed all of our fears. And as if that weren't enough, not only did we never step foot in a dealership--he had the documents delivered to us electronically and the car delivered to our home - same day!!! Once we identified exactly what we wanted, he negotiated a price we never thought we could have had and had it delivered to our door. It was unbelievable. I've shopped for and purchased cars before and the process was miserable and I always walked away wondering if I could have done better. This without a doubt was the best process ever. Not only do I have no doubt we got an unbelievable deal, but also, we got more options than we ever could have hoped for. We are so thrilled and grateful every time we drive. And there's more! Z even helped me get quotes to sell my old car and guided me to get the best rate. I was blown away by how much I got for my old vehicle. It was way more than I had imagined and was higher than the KBB listed value! Even after I've had my car, Z made it clear to call him first if there are ever any issues. I did and again, it was like magic--he had a solution and it was way better than had I not called. Z is a true gem. I wish there were more people with so much heart, passion, and caring as him. The world is definitely a better place with Z in it! If you have any doubt, don't even think about it--enlist Z's help in finding, buying, or leasing your next car--SO worth it!

DO NOT RECOMMEND DOING BUSINESS HERE!…read more Sergio made our FIRST-TIME car-buying experience absolutely awful and humiliating. From the beginning, he was rude, dismissive, and extremely loud while discussing our personal financial information. Other customers were staring at us, which was incredibly humiliating/embarrassing and unprofessional!! He repeatedly stated that we had a repossession and kept mentioning something about a Capital One account. We have never financed a vehicle before, so this information was completely new and confusing to us. Instead of taking the time to listen or explain what was going on, he announced these personal matters loudly enough for everyone around us to hear. Sergio was also extremely belittling, continuously cut us off, and would not even allow us to speak. He repeatedly told us there was nothing he could do for us without giving us a fair opportunity to ask questions or understand what was happening. AGAIN! As FIRST-TIME car buyers, we expected patience, professionalism, and BASICS respect. Instead, we left feeling humiliated, frustrated, and completely discouraged. This was an exceptionally poor first-time dealership experience. Based on how we were treated, I would strongly advise others to take their business elsewhere!!!!

On July 9, 2020 went to look at a 2015 Mazda CX5 (JM3KE2CY0F0546451) they had on their website on…read moretheir lot. When we got there, they said the Mazda was just put on the lot and was getting refurbished. They then took us up the street to the maintenance lot, and they were able to find out the car was sent off-site to get reupholstered, as the previous owner had a dog that "ate the backseat", and to come back the next day to see the car. Next day (July 20,2020) rolls around and go back. The car was there, it had not been cleaned up or anything, and had a "wet dog" smell to it which was attempted to be covered up with heavily sprayed floral scent. Test drove the car anyway, and otherwise it was in good condition. Was told I could come back in a few days when the car was detailed to see it again. Arrived back on July 12,2020 and the car was cleaned up, still had an overpowering floral scent. The price was in budget and decided to purchase the vehicle. After getting numbers and paperwork in process, 2 other women showed up to look at the car. At this point I was signing the paperwork agreed on, and they still allowed them to drive and test the car out. I've never been to a dealership that even pulls something like that. Cont. on to finance dept up the street and got official paperwork and be on my way. Come Thursday July 23,2020 I get a phone call from Edgar, Finance guy I signed my paperwork with. He told me that I needed to come in and re-sign everything. I asked him what was going on, and he told me, the car was now 12k (not the listed 14k, and what was on my original paperwork), and couldn't tell me why all of a sudden it dropped and also that my "paystubs I provided were fake and made in Microsoft Word". Now this is where things continued to get sketchier and sketchier. I don't even think that's legal to say to a customer, which Naval Legal will be looking into this part, and beyond insulting. The new magic car price and my "new" payment terms where completely different from the original signed paperwork. I asked him who/what/where/why, and he told me he had to call me back. That night no return call. Friday rolls around (July 24,2020), and I called him 2x with no response. He called me back a few hours later, and still no exact details needed but still wanting me to go in and re-sign new paperwork. I told him I didn't feel comfortable with that, with no hard details and blindly going into a situation, On top of being told I'm making my own paystubs. I told him he could forget it and take the car back, and give me my down payment back, and that all of this sounded very sketchy and unethical. He told me he would call back. I told him I would bring the car back at 5:30PM. I get a text that another person, Diego, would meet me at finance and help me from there. When Diego arrived, he asked what was going on and I told him everything and how I would take my business elsewhere that's appreciated. He mentioned that no one else in finance/dealership there wanted to help him because they didn't like him, or like helping each other, so he didn't know what was going on. Things just don't add up, they accuse you of things, and no one likes each other at this place? They need to get their act together. I'm not one that will accept being treated in this manner or be pushed around/taken advantage of. There were 0 apologies from any of the accusations they put on me or anything. Take your values, ethics and business elsewhere.

"Buy your car from Hadi. Period. Don't bother looking somewhere else because Hadi already did all…read morethe homework for you." I wish someone had said THAT to me. I would have saved myself money and heartache. This is my story. I have been shopping for a used car for a long time because I want to avoid the monthly payment that comes with a brand-new car. There is a HUGE CATCH: I know nothing about cars. And I don't know where to start. I have been lost in the used-car-shopping desert for over 40 days. A friend of mine [Hadi's neighbor] told me about Hadi, who agreed to do a pre-sale inspection. However, through a series of miscommunication and mis-expectation between this particular friend and me, I ended up buying, not from Hadi, but a questionable third-party seller. Hadi went out of his way to make sure this transaction works out for me. Please note -- he is not the seller! He did every task conceivable for me -- who knows nothing about the car buying and registration process!! Trust me -- you will not find another dealer/mechanic who is willing to donate his time and energy and thoughtfulness for free ----- just to make sure your vehicle works out for you. Words can't express my gratitude towards him. Yelpers -- we all heard those awful jokes about used car salesmen and mechanics. They are inappropriate because an honest and caring and amazing used car owner does exist. I wish I could give Paykan TEN STARS but since I can't, I am doing the next best thing which is -- SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF HADI!! Do yourself and everyone you know including strangers a favor and join me!

Paykan Auto in San Diego? Oh man, buckle up, because you just asked for the…read moreyou-can't-handle-the-truth truth about these guys. Most mechanics in SD see a car with a weird noise, a dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree, or something that's been Frankenstein-ed together from three different continents, and they immediately hit the panic button: "Nah, too complicated, take it to the dealer," or "That's gonna cost you an arm, a leg, and your firstborn." They run faster than you do when someone yells "free In-N-Out." But Paykan Auto? These legends look at that same nightmare job--the timing belt on a 20-year-old import that's been babied by someone who thinks "maintenance" means prayer, the transmission that's been slipping since the Obama administration, the electrical gremlins that make your car randomly play polka music--and they just crack their knuckles and say, "Challenge accepted." They've been fixing cars (and selling solid used ones) at 5486 El Cajon Blvd for years, with reviews screaming honesty, fair prices, and straight-up wizardry. One person literally said their family has used them as mechanics for 15+ years while buying multiple cars there. Another called Hadi and the crew "THE BEST!!!!" They tackle the stuff that makes other shops sweat: weird European mods, beat-up daily drivers on their last legs, you name it. It's like if Jack Reacher was a mechanic--quiet, no BS, gets the job done right, and leaves you wondering why everyone else is so scared of hard work. You roll in thinking your car's doomed, you roll out thinking, "Wait, that was actually affordable AND it drives better than when I bought it?" Truth bomb: In a city full of mechanics who ghost you harder than a bad Tinder date, Paykan Auto is the rare shop that doesn't flinch. They handle the repairs everyone else runs from... and they do it with a smile, fair pricing, and zero drama. If your car's throwing a tantrum that would make a toddler jealous, take it to Paykan. Just don't blame me when you become one of those people who starts every story with, "These guys at Paykan fixed my [insert horror story here] like it was nothing." (Pro tip: Call ahead--Hadi and the team are busy saving San Diego's sanity one scary repair at a time.)
