We just bought our second vehicle from Sur-Motors. Walter helped us with the transaction. I have to say this is a fantastic place to work with. Yes there are negative reviews.... .But buyer beware. You must do your homework and know what you are getting. Walter encourages you to bring your mechanic / auto body, whoever you want to check it out. He answered all of our questions and even suggested places to get parts. The process is easy-inventory changes quickly so don't wait if you see something you like. You won't be disappointed. read more

I was trying to pick up a car and I've never met anyone more unreasonable. Tried to force us to bring our semi into their yard which was going to be a huge problem. They had us go there for no reason and forced us to cancel the load. Do not go here for business or purchase. Super arrogant and horrible treatment toward our driver! read more

This is not a dealer, they buy all cars from auction and cover up the negative flaws. Whatever damage u see is actually more than what you think. They have mechanics working around the clock to hide the damage to not make it look so bad. No test drive, you need to tow it once u buy, plus they will keep asking for u to pay in full and they will ship the vehicle from another state. If you would like to see how much they raise the price without fixing,. Just Google the vin and u will see the real photos and how much money there making OFF YOU :) SHADY WAY TO DO BUSINESS RIGHT?

They buy junk cars and cover big damages and try to screw people up buy externally making the cars look less damaged. STAY AWAY

Worst fake dealership ever. All crap cars and even worse employees. Bought a BMW with thousands of dollars cash, sold with no key. Once asked for the readily or proof of ownership to receive a new key from BMW the employee got attitude like I won't touch that little guy. Fact of the matter is this is a shady dealer, and will make promises to help until they receive the money and then it becomes a lie. Do yourself a favor don't shop here. I'm turning them in for bad practices to the DMV today. read more

Don't buy from Sur Motors! They are rude and fraudulent. I purchased my first Vehicle from them and the Engine was completely blown out. They broke the key inside of the Vehicle so you couldn't even attempt to start it. Advertised the Vehicle as Clean title and Good. Tried to give them a second chance and they are talking crazy like they don't have the option to submit offers read more

Had a great time with Adam and finding just what I wanted. Guy seem knowledgeable. I will be going back to see him when I need another car. And I received a great deal. read more

Jose and adam and the gang at Auto Exports pretty awesome bunch of guys we drove 4 hours from Vegas was not diappointed bought a dodge 2500 diesel and a nissan pick up very satisfyed read more

Stereotypical low-life used car salesmen at this business. The damaged parts on the cars are pulled and straightened to look good for the photos so it looks like the damage isn't as bad as it actually is. Also, they never give you a good close photo of the damage under the hood, they always slightly cut it out. These are not your friendly neighborhood dealer types. I bought a car from them assuming the worst, and it turned out to be even worse than that. There is NO turning back once they have any money from you either. I know the new luxury models with a price in reach are very tempting, but please take a breath, sip your coffee, and look somewhere else knowing you averted disaster. Your Welcome, Kansas City Chris read more

I bought a salvaged pickup from Sur (Jose and Adam) exactly one year ago. They were a great help and I saved thousands on the purchase. The truck is exactly as advertised and I'm extremely happy with it. Keep watching their website for the car of your dreams! Chuck read more

The most rude customer service ever. When we walked into the office there was no "good afternoon" no "hello" all they say is "what car do you want" and in the most rude tone ever. They say that they take offers but the least they'll go down is $100. read more

Honestly f*** these guys . Bought a car off them and they hid the keys . Turns out the engine is blown ! In the pictures it shows it's running with mileage and all and when I go there they say "it doesn't run because there's no key" they were rude and they know what they are doing do not buy from here ! read more

Hello everyone, here is a Perfect example of what they do go to Coparts web site enter this lot #** 31273967 than go back and enter #** 46095037 you will see it is the exact same car they got it at the action and covered up the damages and put it back in the action as a working car with some damages. but if you go to the coparts yard and ask for the key to the car, the car does not even turn on and when it is on all of the light on the dash board light up like a Christmas tree. they make it look like its nice and shiny from the outside but inside is a junk like this company SuR Motors read more

Be very careful with these guys do people dirty. They get Car from auction. they straighten out the body and then they make it look like the damage is not that bad. Warning don't deal with these people. This is the type of business the government need too shut down. Straight up ripoffs read more

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SORRY EXCUSE OF A BUSINESS I'm a student and this company took my money, while feeding lie after lie. New 5 speed transmission $1500 labor $500 New clutch $400 New door latches and locks and main switch $300 labor $700 Two alignments and suspension adjustments $550 New Intercooler (hole in intercooler) $200 Broken bolt removal in turbo $100 Both Catalytic converters $1100 labor $175 Also had to pay $300 for transportation. The car was a 3 days late. "GRAND TOTAL $5825 OF COLLEGE TUITION AFTER SELL OF CAR" So before you think about buying a car from these folks. Ask yourself if you're a mechanic or have thousands of dollars to invest in a car. I told both salesmen/liars that I was a student and was in need of a car that I could use for the next step in my education. Both salesmen/crooks told me and confirmed that the car was reliable just had a gear missing, and the missing gear could be fixed with a new clutch. Needless to say, the car didn't steer properly. The car wouldn't shift pass third. I give a basic list of parts and labor that I needed to fix the car and get it into operational condition. Do not buy from these individuals it is a chop shop and will put a car together in the cheapest Frankenstein way possible. I'm starting the process of looking into an attorney and CA statutes involved with buying cars from people like this. I have saved every email and text sent. Will move forward with the process. PLEASE DON'T THINK ABOUT BUYING A CAR FROM THIS SAD EXAMPLE OF A BUSINESS. read more

SCAM!!!! Stay away. Advertised a car as clean title but the vehicle was salvaged. After the vehicle finally cleared it came back salvaged. A lawsuit is in order and is headed their way. This place won't be open for long. Be very careful if you try to deal with them. Karma is coming around. read more

My recommendation to anyone that is thinking about buying a vehicle from this outfit or any place that sells salvage cars is to do a simple google search on the Vin#. That will usually bring up the car and the pictures in the state it was in before these guys did their magic to hide real damage. Buyers beware !! read more

Second time here, dealing with Jose and Adam. Bought another car and had a great experience. Transaction went smooth and they were very professional. Overall a perfect experience. I highly recommend these guys! read more

go somewhere else!!!!! biggest scam ever !! info on site is nothing compared to what the actual info in a car is, car had a set of wheels, when i got there they had changed them all and took the spare tire as well (yes in the pics it showed the spare tire) they also cut the battery cables making it seem like it had no airbag light on, car had air bag light on and check engine light !!!! they also said "it was a clean title car" and once i got to the dmv they said it was salvaged avoid this place as much as possible, go somewhere else !!! they just do " quick fixes" and "clean" it oh and worst part of all, it had a piece of skin/muscle with blood hanging in the back of the truck !!!!!!!! not sure if it was animal or human but that was disgusting !!!!! read more

Extremely rude customer service, I will never do business with these people, they are very pretentious, it almost seemed as though they were doing me a favor by listening to an offer I had placed on a vehicle, asking me to not waste they're time. Thanks again sur motor cars ;) read more

I only have a good experience wit them. Good cars for good prices. Of course you buy a car that you need to spend some money on , but that's what you pay for. You wanna cheap new car?? Then expect to do some work on it! read more

1) Bought barely a year old plug-in hybrid car, after repairs i had to jump start it 3 times as it becomes completely dead at times. couldn't understand if the problem was with chargeable battery or with starter 12v battery (on the meter 12v battery showed good strength when not in use / engine not running). One day i happen to check on the trunk that has 12v starter battery installed with running engine, battery was extremely hot and white smoke was coming out, as it was about to catch fire. I Immediately Installed a new replacement battery. Clearly the seller has swapped out original car battery with this bad one thus causing me stranded couple of times, as it is difficult to troubleshoot because of hybrid system and hybrid battery involvement, and the car could have gotten fire, had i not happen to check on the battery with engine running. 2) This year old car, had 3 different type of wheels installed (out of 4 only 2 tires were same on the driver and passenger side behind driver). All 3 types had different tire numbers and different manufacturers with different thread design and depth / age. 3) They Hide the big damages on car to make it look small. I am inclined to say that these are not good examples of an honest business acumen. read more

I just spoke with this guy on the phone. I found a car they were selling online and that I knew was in rough shape but I thought it would be good for a track build. I asked the simple questions, does run (We are not a body shop), does it have frame damage (We are not a bodyshop), does it come with any more panels ext (Sir everything is on the description). Well all your discription says is "We are pleased to offer this 2006 Lotus Exige that is damaged as shown" and that is ALL. Then he tells me to read the FAQ - Well I did and the questions I asked had nothing to do with the poorly written FAQ that does nobody any good anyway. You are in the used cars business, you should be ready to answer the tough questions like "Does it start" and not get pissed about. If you don't want people asking your the same questions you should write better descriptions within your ad. Sur Motor cars - Setting the standard for cars sales men. read more

Bought a car from them and it was put together like clue its so bad of customer service and then i asked if they do financing on the car and he's like read the ad before calling us and he hung up in my face. yes there might be other salesman not like him nd probably make customers pleased as i see on yelp reviews but i honestly don't recoommend them eve if they have a good price on a car. was all ready to buy the car the next day and was excited.but honestly they are such bad customer service i don't even care about the vehicle...I would like a refund for the parts and for the towing ! read more

Horrible customer service. I guess I shouldn't have expected much more from a salvage car dealer, a man can hope.... Note that they won't answer any questions about the cars, they have a lot of reasons that they say, mainly because they sell too many to know about the cars. I have nothing against this as an approach, but it just kind of sucks. As for the horrible customer service and the 1-star rating - I didn't end up buying a car from here buy I sure attempted to. I emailed the company about a 65k car, which I would never buy for that since it's salvaged. I provided research and links and asked them if they would negotiate. Mind you I wasn't snarky, pretentious, or a jerk... After taking the time to provide them with the details I received their response email... "Take it or leave it then" That's the whole email. I have no issues with a company who doesn't answer questions that they don't know or take the approach of selling "as is" with 0 warranty, especially on a salvage car. However, I do have an issue when I take time out to do my research and am willing to buy a car from you and you can't take the time to say "Sorry, we don't negotiate" or "That's the lowest we can sell the car for". Note that the car has been on their site for over a month without dropping, so for a company who claims to need to get rid of cars fast from their FAQs, it's kind of strange to not say more then they did. This review is for the people who don't want to deal with bad customer service. Especially out of the gate. I hope that more people speak up about these people. read more

Tried to purchase a 2013 VW Beetle. I simply asked if it ran and drove. They said it does. When I asked how they determined that it did without a battery and radiator the guy told me I was wasting his time. I had a friend drive over an hour to stop by and see the car. I was in no was wasting anyone's time. I was very serious about the purchase. I made an offer on ebay and the offer was declined. They told me they would sell it for $6750.00. I made a new offer the next morning for the $6750.00 and they declined it. They raised the price up to $7450.00 and when I called to see why they declined my offer the guy told me that they are wholesalers and don't want to waste their time.

Like many others have stated google vehicles vin number before even thinking of making a purchase from this place. You will see that these cars should go to a junk yard for parts and not for sale. read more

Soooo.....I wish I knew about this place years ago!!! If your looking to purchase a luxury end car or decent car with low miles on the odometer for a great price (like Me) than "Sur Motors" is the place to be at....Seriously!!!...you avoid the inflated price and the aggressive sales tactics you see at most dealership. Their website list all the cars they offer from make and model. They have tons of pictures from every angle and the pics are dead on! They have staff on site to answer questions about cars they have and are very helpful and detailed in their response...I would totally recommend this place. Their office is neat, staffed well dressed, and show room very clean (no grease/oil on floors) and organized. The office allows you to see their cars, they turn them on for you and give you information about the vehicle itself and the damage it has. That is huge!!!! Their is this guy named Adam that works their in the Automotive department that was nice enough to jump start the battery for me when I visited...check him out if you do decide to stop by...he's a cool dude...guys guy!!! I owe him a beer for all his help! But yea....totally recommend this place...paperwork is a simple when buying...sign in office or e-sign...also if you can't pick up the car..they have people that can deliver the car to you....at a rock bottom price!!!! I'm so pleased with this company...check it out..see Lina...she will answer all your questions as well. Dave, Aka...first time Salvage title owner. Akaa...soon to be regular customer. Akaaa...best of luck to all!!! read more

scam artist. They buy really badly crashed cars from the auction and pull out the hit so it looks like the crash wasn't severe when it really was .
