Todd and Shane were amazing to deal with! I bought a used 2014 Chevy crew cab truck for my business. From start to finish, I knew I was dealing with people who cared and really were being helpful throughout the entire process. I feel like I got an amazing price on a vehicle that fit all of the needs that we had. No arm twisting! No high pressure! just good old fashion service which is so uncommon today! I would highly recommend this dealership and these individuals to anyone. As a business owner, I know how hard it is out there in our current business environment and these folks just really went the extra mile for us. What's really cool about them is they have all kinds of vehicles including classic cars and a really special and unique show room where they showcase the classic cars inside. read more

See all

I had two interesting experiences trying to buy a Ford F150 this past week. The first was a dealer in Montana who had the perfect truck. I called him and he let me know a potential buyer had an appointment on Friday at 4pm to look at the truck. I said I wanted to buy it and asked to make a deposit and would fly in on Saturday to purchase it. He told me he could not do that because of the potential client with the appointment. A few minutes after 4pm he called to let me know the truck was sold to the client. This was a respectful and ethical dealer. The second experience was with Sabeti Motors. They had a Ford F150 on their website, just posted. The truck met all of my expectations and I contacted them via messaging. They promptly called and I made an appointment for 11am on Saturday June 8th. Repeatedly I messaged and phoned them to confirm my appointment and desire to buy the truck. The day before (Friday) I called to let them know I made arrangements for a mechanic to meet me there to inspect the truck but would only get there at 2pm. Again I confirmed my desire to buy the truck, On Saturday morning Sabeti Motors left a voice mail telling me they sold the truck the night before. Quite a different experience. The dealer in Montana has my business. He is looking for a truck for me and I am certain I will be pleased with the experience, just as I was impressed with his upstanding approach to selling the truck he had on his lot. read more

do not buy a car from here!! they take advantage of young people !! my daughter just bought a car yesterday... her first "mom" car (she has 3 kids) . so excited to get home and take the kids for a ride .. unfortunately , as im following her home, clouds of smoke start coming out the back... she calls them, and is told they will call her back in 10 mins. noone called. my boyfriend took one look at the car , under the hood, and said it was most likely a blown head gasket that they covered up by putting a mask of some sort in it... now they are closed today! they screwed my daughter out of $3000.00 dollars that she works very hard for!!! wish we would of read all these reviews beforehand. this business needs to be shut down! i don't want to give it any stars but for some reason you have to give it at least one to be able to post your review so just so they know they haven't even earned one star a half a star no stars! read more

I just yesterday had a great experience buying a used car from Sabeti Motors. I've purchased several cars over the years from Sabeti Motors and my latest purchase was a beautiful silver Audi Q5. They had quite a nice selection of cars to choose from and I worked directly with Art the manager and Shane the owner. I was in and out the door in maybe 45 minutes and I hope to buy again in the near future. read more

Sabeti Motors - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

They sell vehicles with known issues and lie to customers. As soon as your off the lot the vehicle may fall apart 20 minutes down the road. This is what happened with the crap vehicle they sold my son. They refused to give him his money back and he had to pay yo get it towed. Mechanics do crap work and just try to cover up problems. read more

Shane and Anthony were very helpful and took great care of us. We loved our experience and the car we purchased. Thank you

Go here if you want to drive a money pit. Worst service worst cars worst waste of money I could have imagined in my life. And at the time I bought my car they sold it to me with no insurance or license at the time but I said I'd get one. Not sure if that's legal or not but I would never go back for a dang thing! I got hustled pretty good out of my money and learned a great lesson. Stick to craigslist if you're even considering this place read more

Visited Sabeti today to check out a Nissan 350z that was in their lot. The salesman that helped didn't know the car was even there (another salesman had to point the car out to him) but when we got to the car he acted like he knew all about it (saying it's been here for a month and talking about the old owner etc.) The car was an '03 and I told him I was looking for an '06 or newer but that I hadn't gotten to drive one yet and would like to test drive this one. After suggesting several other cars that I wasn't interested in I asked the salesman to test drive the Nissan and he said "well if you were in a closer position to buying I would say lets go for it, but it sounds like it's not the year you want so I don't think so. Check our website though and if we get a newer model in you can come check it out." Now I understand not wanting to waste his time- I definitely wasn't going to buy that car. At the same time, I obviously am in the market for a car that's more expensive (a newer year) and if he had let me go for a test drive I might have come back and bought one from them if they get one in. I felt as though after he learned I wanted an '06 I was just a waste of his time, why not invest in your customers for repeat business? I won't be going there to buy any car. read more

DO NOT GO HERE. I am currently suing them. They do not do safety inspections on their vehicles which is mandated by federal and state law. Avoid this place at all cost. read more

They are scam artists and liars! They were really nice in the beginning before I bought the car. I worked with saleman Jacob who told me they got the car from a auction and that they would fix anything wrong with the car. I test drove the car to find out the brakes needed to be done ,the ac/ heater made a loud noise , the passenger seat wouldnt go back and the car needed a new key! They agreed to fix all the things so I purchased the car only to discover it wasnt fixed! I called the next day and they said I had to wait til the next week due to the shop being booked! I dropped my car off Sunday night picked up Monday night! Only to discover my car wasnt fixed , I called them , they have ignored my calls and havent called me back! I tried to reach the manager Simon who is the owner Shane's son. No return calls from either! read more

Before my daughter bought her car from Sabeti, l read lots of online reviews. They were all over the place, from glowing to scathing. I decided to wait and see before l wrote a review, and I'm glad l did. Sabeti Motors will rob you blind. My 24-yr-old daughter wanted to start building her credit by financing her purchase. Sabeti did not tell her that the in-house financing would not apply to her credit rating. She paid every month on time, and it won't even help her get her credit started. When we test drove the car they had chosen, the engine was smoking a little, and there was a burning smell. The salesperson told us it was brake fluid burning off, as they had just replaced the brake system. People, if a used car dealership tells you they have done specific work, get it in writing. Within 6 months of buying this car from Sabeti Motors, it was driving so badly that my girl had to take it to my mechanic. The list of things that were wrong with this car was a whole page long. The mechanic wrote on the list that this car was completely unsafe to drive! And at the top of the list was that the brake system was shot and needed to be replaced. They took advantage of a young woman who had worked very hard for the money for a down payment, who is truly trying to build a grown-up life and be responsible. Now, she is out a lot of money and has no car, and has to start over. They didn't care about her, or that they were selling her a heap of junk. They just wanted the money. They took the car back, and will most likely foist it upon some other unsuspecting person after fixing the bare minimum of the problems, just enough to get it to run for a test drive. I wish l could warn them. I wish l could post a sign on the front if their building. Sabeti Motors confirmed for us the long-time urban myth that used car salesmen are dishonest and shady. We're going through a reputable dealership this time. It's a true shame that my daughter had to learn this expensive lesson by being fleeced by Sabeti. DO NOT buy a car from Sabeti Motors!!! read more

My son bought his first car here today. Easy to work with. I feel like we got a good deal too. Would definitely buy from them again.

They are not upfront about any documentation costs that they're going to tag onto the cost of a vehicle ($160). To boot, the sales manager, Shane, said I'd be getting a refund of the $160. Still waiting for that. Don't trust these guys. They don't tell you the whole truth then they lie. Not great way to do business. read more

Screwed us on a vehicle. Brought it in to get fixed. They took the vehicle and the key. Then told us that we had to come up with another down payment, then talked down to us. Rude and unprofessional read more

Dropped by to look at one car, ended up buying another. Troy, Art and Bubba were awesome. Fast process, very willing to dicker.

What seemed like a fair price on a classic car ended up being a nightmare. Bought the car just to find out that the rear end was shot as well as the transmission. Don't fall for the "We have a shop in the back and we will have them check it out before you leave the lot with it". I would not consider purchasing any vehicle from Sabeti Motors again. read more

So I got a beat-up used car from them, and they seemed to really go out of their way to help me out especially when I was in a bad way. But on the day that my payment was due, they had a tow truck come to my apartment to drag my car away. Seriously? It was 12:33 in the AM and I'm pretty sure I had till they closed that day to make the payment. Think I'll go to someone else next time. read more

Too bad you can't give no stars. If you're buying a vehicle from these people make sure they never had it in their auto shop. When I did have issues with the vehicle they did half ass work and the head mechanic rushed us out so we couldn't see what he was doing. These people sold me a vehicle and installed the fuel pump with the cap missing (which means open hole in the top of the fuel tank) and as soon as I filled the tank gasoline was pouring out everywhere. Bad cv axle,multiple oil leaks. Motor mount also incorrectly installed, which I pointed out, (no nut holding it down) as well as I pointed out the oil filter housing and oil pan were leaking. I'll paraphrase "it doesn't really need that, gravity is just as good" the owner of the shop tells me. He also told me multiple times that they did a full leak down and put a bunch of work into which is complete bulls***. Funny how 5 miles out the door and down the road the motor mount blows up. Also bad camshaft position sensors and bad oil pressure sender. The intake was missing a hose and they had overfilled the oil as well, probably so when I checked it it looked good. The salesman I had was very friendly and I don't think he was in on the scamming. If you buy a vehicle from these people take it to at least another shop and have a second opinion. They knew very well that once I picked up the vehicle I had a 2500 mile trip and had to fly in to pick it up and still sent me out with a very unsafe vehicle even though everyone there was aware of the situation. In my opinion these people should be shut down until a competent person takes over and the entire shop is restaffed. Will never recommend this place to anyone ever. Please stay away from them. -1/10 for this review and the shop owner was one of the most involved people on the deal, which goes to show this is a terribly poorly run and operated shop. Thank you for your time I hope no one else get ripped off by these jokers, as I'm now stuck in Washington waiting on the car to be fixed by a competent shop. Update* the timing job that was done was also done improperly. read more

I was referred here by my cousins (I know they wouldn't send me to a bad dealership) and they were all so nice and able to work with me even though my credit is shot but I really needed a car for work and my children so I took what they had to offer which wasn't bad. Mike English was funny and cool to work with. I would recommend anyone to get a car here and would definitely come back for another car. read more

Great place!! Ahmed Imran showed excellent service and experience I can rely on. Im treated right with professionalism. Always will consider them when buying a car! Awesome selection!!!! read more

Highly recommend this place. All the cars are nice and reasonably priced. My dealer was Joseph(Joe) Fanelli. He was nice and was a no straight pressure dealer, which i liked, Ive had to deal with this in the past and hated it. So make sure to ask for him if you're deciding to shop here. My overall experience was great, I told them what i wanted to pay a month, the process was very relaxing and calm. Never once did i feel like i wanted to leave, like i do at when i do most of the time at other dealerships. again great place A++++. REMEMBER TO ASK FOR JOE. he'll hook you up. Oh, another thing was what i REALLY liked was that, I noticed a cracked windshield, nearly bold tires, and needed a AC charge. They offered to fix all of that for me with the purchase free of charge which was great. read more

I am thoroughly disgusted with the service and the car we bought from the GM Art Munson. This man is a lot of hot air and your typical shady used car salesman and is the reason we will NEVER do business with the company or any other company associated with them in any way in the future. In February of this year we bought a 01 lexus is300 from him and the car hasn't driven since due to the bad key they gave us. The key was broken and needs to be completely reprogrammed for car to work for any length of time. We contacted the office on several occasions and we're told "oh well, as is ya know". Well that's all well and good as far as parts go, but how about giving us a key that works properly and is not broken. I was tired of the run around and went with my son, who I bought car for with cash, to talk with Art my self in person. After explaining problem he sent us to Guardian locksmith making it sound like if we found out problem he would help us out. So locksmith was unknowledgeable and rude and basically tried to tell us that the key was fine and that we should go home and try the key and if the red light came on and then turned off that meant that the key was fine. Well we did exactly that and the light came on and went off so we assumed that the locksmith knew what they were talking about and figured okay then there's something wrong with the car and it's not the key issue as we suspected. So once again we had to have the car towed for the second time to a shop who then in turn told us that they were unable to work on the vehicle to send it down to their other shop on 6th Avenue so then we had it towed from Parkland to 6th Avenue in Tacoma. After going over the car they said that the computer in the key was dead and that it needed either a brand new key made or to have the chip reprogrammed. Then we were informed that the only one that could do that is the dealership so here we are now we're going to have to tow the car from there all the way to Fife three tows in two days. So now that we found out that it's definitely the key I Tried getting hold of art who did not return my phone calls then I called the office told them I was trying to get a hold of art they said that they would call him and have him call me he never called. So then the next day we made a trip down to see art in person again. After him standing there talking a bunch of BS, trying to say how his phone was broken but yet in front of us was making and receiving calls, talking out of the side of his neck, it really came down to the fact that he wasn't going to help us in any way. He came up with all kinds of excuses telling us this and that and oh how he had to have the owner's permission but yet he's the general manager and that the owner wasn't going to allow it which is all bunch of b******* so basically they sold us a car and gave us a key to the car that doesn't even work and won't even honor that. I have never dealt with a business that would not at least try to compensate in some way. I use to sell cars for a 5-star dealership and I can tell you if we sold a used car yes it was as is, but I can also guarantee you if you came back to us and told us that the key that we gave you to the vehicle you just bought doesn't work we would take care of you. This Automotive dealer is a rip off, a sorry excuse for a dealership and Art Munson is nothing but a liar, and the reason good car salesmen get a bad name, do not do business with this man or this company. Spread the word, we sure are!! read more

So, my daughter's temp plates expired yesterday. It's been 7 weeks since we purchased the car. I emailed the dealership a week ago and never received a response. Husband stopped in yesterday, and they not only had the plates, but we owed an additional $80. They never called us to say the plates were in and I have never owed money on the registration after purchasing a car. Also, they didn't bother to tell us there was just one set of keys until after we signed the paperwork. read more

DO NOT BUY A CAR HERE! Salesperson named Art sold me a Pontiac Vibe 2003 and as I was driving back from the dealership the heater broke. He said he would replace it and never did. Moreover, They never gave me a front plate for the car, but worst of all after two months my shifter cable snapped and when my mechanic looked at it he told me that both were connected with the equivalent of cloths hanger wire with the picture to prove it. Art claimed he knew about the cables but then in Small Claims court lied about it. $1000 in repairs. Deceptive, dishonest personell read more

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!!! We placed multiple calls and each time the owner was busy, either in a meeting or with a customer, so they told us they would take a message and have him call back. However, when we were sitting down with the owner, he felt it was fine to take a phone call from a customer and interrupt our discussion. He never did. We went to check in on the car and WITHOUT telling us, they had moved the car a few miles away to a different mechanic and then they were reluctant to give us the address for the mechanic. We were confirming the price with the owner and he then quoted us a different price so we told him the price he originally quoted and he said, yeah, sure that's fine, whatever. We went to go get the car and at the end he didn't say goodbye or thank you or anything. So we sat there for 5 minutes because we didn't know if we were finished. This is how you treat your paying customers??? Awful and I hope everyone reads this before buying a car there! read more

I think I would rather take my chances in a back alley than ever go here again. They made the buying part easy, but collection on the promises they made was an entire different story. Mike English was nice and easy to work with, but the finance guy and everyone else who go involved are absolutely awful. They promised me a spare tire in writing, 5 weeks, 3 trips to Tacoma, and countless phone calls later they tried to hand me off a curbed up, chrome flaking wheel with a FLAT tire and the best part was it wasn't even for my car, this is what they consider making due on there promises, the mechanic fellow on duty then tried to "school me" on how it was a good tire and just needed a repair, the finance manager after that told me the owner was not interested in spending any money to make a customer happy and that they would give me a whopping $125.00 for the $700.00 combo. After that I got to wait for my new temp tag as they wanted to wait until the very last minute to send that out, the best part was I never even got it. In the end, I would never go back or refer someone here, Mike was a nice guy and I don't believe his intentions were bad I just think the company is run by some shady people up higher than him. read more

Buyer beware, I bought a car last summer from them and I have had nothing but problems. One week into owning the car I had to replace the "new" tires that they said it had after two of them couldn't hold air. Right after I got the car out of the tire shop, the check engine light came on & the car wouldn't idle properly. I had to have it taken in and replace the O2 sensors & plugs. After about a month and a half of thinking "the worst is over" I had to replace the throwout bearing and clutch, my ASE certified mechanic friend said it was "one of the worst" throwout bearings he has had to replace in his career of 20+ years! He also cautioned me about the timing belt & drive belts considering the miles that the car had and a concerning bearing noise he was hearing from the engine. I replaced the drive belts & examined the idler, but the bearing noise only got worse. It continued to deteriorate and I had my mechanic replace the timing belt just last week, he informed me someone had already been in there and replaced parts with the wrong bearings and the idlers were completely shot. Another BIG repair bill for a car i've barely had a year. I haven't put more than 6k on the car and i've had to shell out $3000+ for repairs on this car. These crooks patch up abused auction cars to leave the lot in one piece and give you the shaft once you leave. I also suspect the "carfax" reports they hand you are doctored and do not reflect the actual history of the car. DO NOT let the smooth talking, courteous sales people fool you, most of their inventory is junk. I picked "one of the nicer cars" they had on the lot and its been nothing short of a nightmare. The bimonthly emails they send you are a nice punch to the stomach while you are dealing with their junkyard specials. read more
