Keep away from those Egyptian guys (Magdy and Mina). Bought a 2002 Lexus from them for $7650 that appeared very clean and perfect condition, after 2 weeks I noticed oil leak from the engine with a loud sound and very low mileage per gallon (15/Gallon) , then I went to 4 different mechanics to get the best price to fix it and that was $1800. Then when I called and told them the full story and it's just two weeks since I got the car, SUDDENLY, the very nice and polite person Magdy changed into a gangster and cursed me and told me I don't wanna hear again from you and ganged up the line while I was still speaking. Really the worst car dealer I have ever seen. Some friends also after that told me stories close to mine...... I'm not the only victim. Please advice your friends also to keep away from them. read more

Mina, Henry, and Felix were all helpful in my search for a Mazda Miata MX-5. They offered me an amazing deal that I could not find anywhere else. They never pressured me and were very respectful and kind. This was my third car that I have bought and it was by far the best experience compared to the big Honda and Toyota dealers. I would definitely recommend people to give them a try. They won't be disappointed! read more

See all

We just bought a 2010 Honda Ridgeline from Mina. I drove a long way to see it and it was better than what he described on the phone, (he told me to trust him and I'm glad I did). He was also very transparent by showing me pictures of a dent it had before they painted it. I appreciated that. He also gave me a Carfax report that checked out perfectly. He stocks a good selection of very clean used cars. He knows what he is doing. If you see something he has I recommend you pay him a visit. read more

Bought a used truck from Henry and Magdi. I feel like they treated me well and gave me a good deal. Mina was also very helpful. I identified some issues with the truck during a test drive and they offered to take care of it before I purchased it and they gave that offer in writing as well. The truck was fixed at no cost to me and it has been very good so far. I would recommend this dealership, but with any car shopping make sure you do your research and get any dealer offers in writing. read more

I'm so glad I found this dealership on Cargurus.com. I love my SUV! Thank you Henry for your honesty and integrity throughout my purchase. I hope many others will have the same experience as I did. read more

So me and my girlfriend went to St. Mina today to pick up her first car and let me tell you, they don't have the best dealer award for 5 consecutive years for no reason. The car we picked up was a steal! A good priced car with good miles on it. Henry, the sales manager, was very helpful and clear with the process of getting the car. He hooked us up with a great deal and did a fine job at explaining everything. All in all the process itself did not take that long. I will for sure be contacting Henry to help find me my next car and purchasing from St. Mina again. read more

EXCELLENT experience today buying our new truck from Mina. We looked and looked for a loaded F150 and finally found one at St. Mina. Not only was the purchase price the best, Mina gave us the most for our trade in with no shady deductions. His customer service was unparalleled. He was honest and forthright; he even installed new tires on the truck while we were driving down...without us asking and without charging extra. If you are looking for a great deal and an old school honest, easy buying experience go to St. Mina Auto!!!! read more

Great deals and service at St Mina Auto Sales. It's been one month since the purchase and so far so good. Always a little wary of used car dealers but I completely trust this one and would definitely buy from them in the future. read more

My review is really belated, because it's based on my purchase with them that I had 6+ years ago at their previous location. These guys are great if you don't want any high pressure car sales. They come over to talk to you, but leave you be to look. Very unobtrusive in the shopping aspect. I paid for my car in cash, so I can't speak for any financing experience, but they were honest and refunded me the difference with the estimated DMV fees, which was sweet. My car was fabulous and I loved it. Which brings me up to my second experience. It came time to retire my car, and I had been shopping around. I'd had such a good experience with St. Mina, I took a look at what they had available that I could be interested in. I stopped in again last weekend to take a look and the owner remembered me!. I took a look at the car I was interested in and took it for a test drive. Unfortunately, I wasn't sold on that particular model, but thanked them for their time. No pressure or pushy car sales tactics, just like I'd experienced 6 years ago. If you want to support small businesses and want a much more relaxed experience, I'd highly recommend trying out St. Mina. They've been consistent with competitive pricing and the customer service is excellent. The owner is a total sweetheart and I hope they continue to thrive as a business. read more

Just bought my car from Mr Mina. Great experience and I have nothing but praise for this dealership. Lives up to the 5 star reviews. Straight forward and MORE then fair. If your in the market for a used car don't pass up having a look around this lot! read more

My daughter purchased a Honda Civic in January from this family-owned dealership. The overall buying experience was real positive. The St. Mina Auto staff was professional throughout the buying process, and their vehicles are priced very competitively. Coincidently, my son was in the market for a truck, we referred him to St. Mina and he ended up buying a Honda Ridgeline the following week. Two thumbs up! read more

This was my fourth experience buying a car from a used car lot, and it was by far the best! I have no doubt that I would return in the future to purchase another car, and will highly recommend this lot to friends and family in the market for a used car. I love my new (used) car! I bought a 2003 Nissan Altima in mid- October from this car lot, after much research and searching for the right car online via Autotrader and Cars.com. My previous car was totalled in an accident so I had been without a vehicle for approximately three weeks prior to coming here for this particular car. I had already gone to look at multiple cars before this one, but was constantly dissapointed when I actually saw the cars in person compared to the descriptions and pictures. This was most definitely NOT the case for this lot! The website shows more pictures than most other car lots that I had checked out, along with the free Carfax report, so there was no surprises when I arrived to test drive and purchase the car. Also, I had called ahead and spoke directly with the owner Mina regarding final pricing after all fees and taxes. He was clear and straight-forward, and all my questions and concerns were answered. So the next day, my husband, 2 year old, and I went to see the car. I like the fact that they let me test drive the car without a salesperson accompanying me; just a photocopy of my drivers' license, and off I went! My husband and I both took it on a separate test drive so as to not have to transfer the carseat just to test drive, and again, they had no problem with that at all. At this point, the actual buying process began. It was surprisingly fast and efficient. No unexpected charges or haggling. The price was exactly as Mina and I had discussed over the phone before coming down. I never felt like Mina was being pushy or dishonest in any way at all. He offered the warranty only once, and when I declined, that was it. No lecture or persuading after I said no. That was a first in my experience! I bought the car outright, so I have no input as far as their terms for financing. At the end of the purchasing process, Mina even gave my 2 year old son $10 back out of what I had paid in cash for the car, which was a nice gesture for sure! A couple weeks later, I had not received my DMV registration or pink slip, so I called Mina and asked about it. He was still very prfessional and polite and assured me that it had been placed in the mail the day prior. He told me if it did not arrive within a few days to call him back to fix the matter. Sure enough, it arrived in the mail the next day, along with a refund check of overpaid fees! Woohoo! All in all, a great experience, and my car is running perfectly, as I had no doubt it would! read more

This will most likely be a long review, so I'll state my conclusion up front: St. Mina's is great. I really can't say enough good things about them. This was my first time buying a car, so I was nervous. Super nervous. I think I'm a pretty savvy person and I can tell when I'm being scammed or strung along. But at the same time, I don't know a whole lot about cars, and all that comes along with them (loans, payments, etc). I was getting some advice from family over the phone, but at the end of the day, it was my responsibility to do the work. I drove the 40 miles to St. Mina's based on the ONE yelp review before mine. Almost every other car dealership I looked up had terrible reviews, so I was willing to drive a ways to hopefully have a good experience. At St. Mina's, they never tried to pressure me, or use any weird sales tactics, or trick me into buying a car. Most importantly, they didn't treat me like an idiot because I'm a female. I brought my boyfriend with me for moral support, but when I told them the car was for me, they addressed me and not him (I had read that many places will talk to the guy, no matter how many times you make it clear YOU, the girl, are the one buying the car). I decided to do my financing through the dealership, and that was painless. They set me up with a credit union that they said is really great and I will most likely be able to use again in the future. The guys at St. Mina's were totally transparent and willing to answer every one of my questions--and I had a lot of them. Again, I never felt like they were trying to trick me just to make a sale. They were honest with their pricing and double checked all the numbers with me, once the deal went through. I'm so happy with my experience with St. Mina's. Buying a new car will never be super fun for me, but they made it about as easy as it could possibly be. I highly recommend them--even though it's a bit of a drive for those who live in LA, it's so worth it to be able to deal with honest people. read more

My family bought a used BMW 328i from ST. Mina auto sales, and we had the best experience we have ever had from a car dealership. One of the best things about their staff is how they don't pester you like their life depends on it; they are some of the most polite and considerate and honest people in the car sales business. the sales men were intelligent and knew each car quite well, even aside from the general knowledge that anyone could gain online, they knew about most of the cars history's and were honest about each vehicle. When we first bought our car they said it had been inspected by a mechanic before and it was in great shape; but to be safe we brought it to a mechanic just to double check, and he said the same thing they said: "the car is in great condition"; St. Mina Auto Sales provides a wonderful car buying experience we love our car and I would suggest them to any one who wants to buy a car read more

I purchased a Volvo S60 T5 from St Mina, they were honest and strait to the point, not pushy. The car was by far the cleanest Volvo from San Diego to the Valley,. I drove all day looking at beat up Volvos in Los Angeles,about to give up and pass this last stop I decided heck check out one more. The car is clean, by far the best and for the best price, plus its a T5. Joseph was great salesperson! These are good Christian people, with a cross in the window when you drive up, highly recommended!!! read more

Our recent purchase from St. Mina Auto Sales was an experience worthy of posting this positive review. Their lot is stocked with top-grade previously-owned vehicles, and their impressive website presentation of each vehicle is comprehensive. They advertised an exceptional example of a model we were interested in, so as we were from out of the area, I worked directly with Mina Tadross to plan a suitable course of action, including my arrangement for a pre-purchase inspection. I found Mina to be a gentleman - straightforward and accommodative - and our plan went off without a hitch, resulting in a successful transaction for a very nice car. read more

My wife and I recently purchased a Lexus from St. Mina Auto Sales. Our buying experience was top notch start to finish. They hand pick their vehicles with high standards, so if it's on their lot, you know it's a quality vehicle. The website provides excellent information about each vehicle (including free Carfax) and numerous high definition photos. No pressure sales staff were a pleasure to work with. The General Manager handled our purchase and all DMV paperwork with utmost integrity at a fair price. We will gladly return to St. Mina Auto Sales for future car purchases and suggest you do the same! read more

I bought my beatiful Honda Civic here. it is perfect! I am a foreign students here and you know without family here I need to find some dealer really reliable and trustful. I search the Internet a lot to find a good reputation place. I know you guys will think the good talker are all actress, but you know if every body keep highly recommend one place , the place must be really good. I came with my american friend Sue. By the way, Mr. Mina`s father, Sue is very interesting with the driving work you guys metioned two month ago, kind of drving the cars you bought from other place way back, she voluteered to be the driver. Ok., BACK to the car, I find the Honda Civic with a really good price, and then I found out it is not far away from us, so we come by. Mina`s father is there, with another sir seemed also very nice. I drive the car, and perfectly drive feels. so. I am going on with a lower price, kind of hard to make the price going down alot. They told me they are kind of the family business using the same house and brand for over 10 years. and if there is anything wrong, they will help me. They really helped me a lot. with the registration work, you know, you can never get the mail.... so I called mina`s father, and he is really nice, he said: ok honey, I will check for you as soon as possible, and call you back with a answer. Mina helps me with the radio anti-theft lock. God know how I made it locked, and mina helped me put the pastword on the glove already when I bought the car. Now it is already 2months and nothing wrong with any parts of the car. I need to change the oils, yeah? LOL. time flies..... All in all, Mina and his father are really good people with really good car, maybe you will find lower price from other dealer, but I think the car is definately not as reliable as theirs! Just prepared well to deal with the bargueing with Mina`s father. Lol.!!!!!!!Good luck, find your perfect car..... read more

My experience at St. Mina Auto Sales was completely stress free. They are a family owned business, which is why you will get an amazing experience buying a car from them. I drove two hours to get to there lot because I read so many great reviews. They want you to be happy with your purchase. Max (the owner) is the nicest man, honest, caring. Best experience ever and they have a great selection of cars to choose from. There prices are very reasonable. On a rating scale one to ten, I would give them a twelve. Its unfortunate that here I can only give them 5 stars. They really are passionate about selling cars and helping you to find the right car that will bring you joy. Thank you Max, your the best. read more

Just purchased a 2013 Nissan Leaf at St. Mina's. This is the third vehicle I have purchased and this has been by far the easiest and most professional experience I've had. The financing was a breeze. The owner never tried to play the "what can you afford a month?" game with me. He gave me the best offers right off the bat. No one tried to make me buy any crazy insurance or worthless security systems. I received excellent service from the moment I stepped onto the lot. I will definitely return in the future. read more

St Mina Auto Sales - Car Dealers Near Me - Montclair, California

I wish I could give St. Mina Auto Sales more than 5 stars! I recently bought my 2010 Honda Accord from there and my experience was nothing short of incredible! Mina, the manager was not only able to get me the car and color I wanted, but he also gave me a FANTASTIC deal! Both he and his father really went above and beyond for me. I never felt pressured and they made the financing and registration process a breeze. Both he and his father are very honest, trustworthy, and friendly! If you're looking for quality cars and quality people, I highly recommend that you pay them a visit. Thank you Mina and Mac! I LOVE my new car!!!! read more

I bought my car from St. Mina Auto sales and i will give my honest opinion. They have a very nice inventory. The cars are in very good condition and some are in excellent condition. The staff are really honest, they will tell you everything about the car, all the pros and cons. They give a really fair price in comparison to the rest of the dealers. They don't overprice. Overall my experience with them was a really good one and i recommend for those looking for a used car to go and take a look. read more

I just bought a Mercedes ML 350 from here that was in cherry condition. Not only is it a small family business, which I love to support, but they treat you like family. They were friendly, honest, and not in the least bit pushy! They definitely have their customers best interest at heart and work to get you what you want instead of just selling you any car. It was by far the best car buying experience I've ever had! read more

Bought my last 2 cars from St. Mina Auto Sales. Great place with great owners. They are very honest and love to help. I get honest trustworthy opinions about all the cars and prices. Not once did I feel cheated out of a good deal. These guys know what they are doing and they have great customer service. I have recommended them to family and friends. Hard to find good quality honest dealers nowadays. Great family owned and run business. read more

I never write views but this place deserved it. Mac made us feel welcomed as soon as we arrived. He gave us space to look and didn't pressure us like other dealers. He was nice enough to make me a hot chocolate while we signed the paper work. Overall, excellent customer service look forward to making future purchases. read more

This place is everything a used car lot shouldn't be. Bought a car from them a little over a month ago and I am still amazed with the car and the experience at St. Mina's. I felt like I could trust them and they really had my best interests in mind. Mina went above and beyond to make sure I got the car that I wanted even when I was being somewhat of a difficult customer. If you're looking for a car and dont want to deal with shady car salesmen, go to St. Mina's Auto Sales. I will definitely recommend this place to everyone I know. read more

Updating my review because we just did business again with St. Mina Auto Sales. We had browsed through their website online and found a car that we loved and went to test drive it today and decided to go with it. The process could not have been easier. Mina was fantastic! We also had been in contact with Mac over the phone couple days before. Both of them were so helpful and explained the whole process and made car buying a wonderful experience. I would definitely recommend coming here if you are looking for your next car. They have a great selection of cars. Thank you guys!! read more

They had a Lexus RX350 I liked that was cleaner than most of the others I had seen and at a reasonable price. They worked with me on it a little and the paperwork only took about 30 minutes. My favorite thing about this dealership is that there was absolutely no pressure. read more

I got my car here few months back, the manager ( MINA) was so helpful & so honest. I was never pushed to buy the car..he answered all my questions .He's not your typical salesman that keeps nagging . But he will make sure that you are 100% satisfied with everything. Honesty and professionalism..I highly recommend that place read more

We just purchased a 2007 Honda Civic, and the whole experience was great. Went to look and test drive the car one day, got paperwork going and a couple days later came in and made the deal. It was fast, easy and comfortable. Thanks St. Mina Auto Sales, it was a pleasure doing business with you. read more

This is by far the best experience I have had at a car dealership. As soon as I got there I had two cars in mind, I wanted to test drive both of them. I did not feel pressured at all when at dealership the salesman were very friendly people. I fell in love with the 2nd car I drove that's when I went inside and spoke with Mina. He is a awesome person that was very courteous and did everything he could to help me get the car. He was giving me advice that no other dealership has given me to help me boost my credit score. He made sure that I got the best deal possible and made sure the car was clean before I left. Thank u Mina and his team members for all your help and I look forward to buying more cars in the future with you guys.. read more

Doesn't get anymore convenient or professional when dealing with St. Mina Auto Sales when it comes time to sell off your used car! Worked with them last week because I was getting sick of waiting around for CarGuru, CraigsList and EBay responses to my used car listing. Why wait around weeks on end when you can negotiate a very fair deal with St. Mina Auto Sales to purchase your car, take over title and clear you of the headache of an old used car. I've been to CarMax a few times in the past and each time I left with a bitter feeling in the pit of my stomach and a ferocious anger in wasted time to get an extremely low ball offer that makes you think your better off donating your car to goodwill than giving it to a company like that. This was absolutely NOT the case when it comes to St. Mina Auto Sales. It was a real pleasure working with them and they will be my first stop next time I'm ready to sell a used car. Thanks guys! read more

Nice used car and new cars dealerships these guys were great. They make sure you have a good experience and make sure you leave happy. They will go out of there way to help you. They offer to help me so I got my car finance through them. I had a really awesome experience and I will definitely go back in a heartbeat. Thanks Mina!:) read more

I bought a 2009 Honda element here 2 years ago and I am absolutely in love with my car. I flew in from Arizona to get my car and Mina went above and beyond to accommodate me. They cleaned and buffed my car so it was in beautiful condition when I arrived to pick it up! I've had no major issues with the car in my two years of ownership and I want to say a heartfelt thank you to Mina for his excellent service. read more

Wonderful buying experience - highly recommend buying your next car here. I located the car I was looking for at St. Mina's and it was offered at a very reasonable price. Met with Mina and discussed the car, felt no pressure at all to make the deal. I asked to take the car to a dealership and body shop to have it checked out. Mina agreed and Magdi spent several hours with me having the car checked out before I decided to purchase it - again, no pressure. I have had the car for three months and made two trips from LA to Vegas - no problems. I would not hesitate to do business with them in the future. read more

The price of the 2007 Honda Fit I bought was already a pretty good deal in comparison to any other dealership in the SoCal area and while I didn't walk away with a great steal, I did walk away with a great deal as well as the joy of supporting Mac and his son's livelihood. He was kind, fair and shared with me facts that most other dealerships don't share when purchasing vehicles. There is a slight crack on the lower left corner of my windshield that he said he'd fix for me at no extra cost were it to get worse and he also processed all of the DMV paperwork for me so that I wouldn't have to go in myself and deal with what we all deal with upon entry to the DMV. I wasn't pressured at all and Mac was so friendly. I definitely recommend and it is worth the drive if you live outside of the area! read more

My husband and I drove 45min to return to St. Mina's....and buy our 2nd Ford Econoline van...Honest, helpful, fair....Our second vehicle from them, because the service and prices are great! read more

They had great service and all but the car they sold me was complete junk soon as I drove off the lot a check engine light came on and they told me to take it to the dealer to get it fix but I had the diagnostic tools to fix it had so many trouble codes and parksensing didn't work have to replace module, I wouldn't recommend by a car from here unless you know what your doing.. EDIT: Mr.Herny gave me a call today (had me surprised) asked me what was going on. So I explained to him what was going on with the car and told him it's already giving me issues like major issues, so he told come back to the dealership and we can fix this, so I did and I got to meet mr.mina himself and both of these fine men offered me a deal I couldn't refuse because I didnt want to have problems with the car a few months later and waste more money than the car is worth. I would definitely recommend these people for first time buyers and if you are buying another car. read more

Don't buy from these people. They ripped me off on the trade-in value of my car and sold me a car they knew had tons of issues that were not on the car fax report. I've already spend over $1200 with repairs that should have been brought to my attention before I made the purchase. Also, after the car was bought he then brings up that the car I just purchased was in an accident....wtf!? This is the first time I've ever been so upset that I've written a review about any business. I suggest you take your business elsewhere. read more

St. Mina Auto Sales sets the example that all used car dealerships should strive to follow. I couldn't be happier with my experience here. The owner, Max, and his son make excellent, honest salesmen. They are complete straight-shooters. If you have any hesitations about buying from dealers, St. Mina's will absolutely assuage your worries. They sold me my '05 Accord in immaculate condition, for a very fair price, and complete with all of the maintenance records going back to when the car was new; truly remarkable for a dealership. I put a deposit on the car and then looked around at a few other places for the next two days; not a problem. They held the car for me, and when I came back and decided to purchase, they were very courteous and didn't question my hesitation at all. They answered every question I had, and encouraged me to take my time on a solo test-drive to make sure I got a feel for the car. These guys are upright and honorable. I am very happy with my purchase and I hope their business continues to do well. read more
