Just used Jonathan again for the fifth time. He got us a 2026 Toyota Crown hard to find exterior and interior colors. He brought the car to our house and we signed the papers in our kitchen. Highly recommend him. read more

Yes. We highly recommend Jon for your car buying needs. Very professional. Organized. Prompt. Follows all covid 19 protocols and procedures. It's our first time going with him and my daughter is very pleased with her car purchase of a Lexus Rx 350. Again, thank you so much. Should we need a new car which will be very soon. We'll definitely comeback. read more

Jonathan is a 5-star money-saving wonder! He made car shopping an unbelievably easy, quick and enjoyable experience with home delivery. I admit, I was skeptical of the process, but he patiently talked me through it, was in close consistent contact and always called me back promptly. The end result was a COVID-safe, quick, efficient, home delivery of a spectacular car with a monthly payment that was almost 25% less than the payment I had been offered when I approached the dealer on my own. He made every effort above and beyond what I expected to be sure the final product was exactly what I wanted. I completely recommend giving Jonathan a try if you have a good idea of the kind of car you know you want. And even if you dont, his wide knowledge of the auto business can be an asset if you have questions. The Auto Connection and Jonathan truly offer 5-star service, two thumbs up!! I will be a repeat customer for sure... read more

The Auto Connection-New Car Wholesale - 2020 Kia Niro LXS hybrid - Car Dealers Near Me - Mill Valley, California

This is the second car I bought through Jonathan. Both experiences far exceeded my expectations. compared to dealing with the dealerships. Just like the other reviews said no ups selling with Jonathan, he gives it to you straight just the best deals. I saved $400 a month on my lease with Jonathan compared to the dealer. I must say that Markus the IT guy he works with goes above and beyond to make sure you know all the features of the car. They make a wonderful team at auto connection!! At the end of my three-year lease, I will be looking at using them again for a new car lease!! Thanks again Jonathan and Markus! read more

This is the second time around with The Auto Connection. First time, Jonathan had the perfect Prius v5 with all the options I was looking for. It was the easiest, most pleasant car buying experience I had ever had. Four years later, I can back for a different hybrid. He went above and beyond to find me this very specific car. He did his very best. It was not in the cards at this time but I will be using him once I take a break, reevaluate and decide on another choice. Jonathan is great at what he does. EASY, and no pressure. I give him again... 5 Stars! Thank you Auto Connection for all your effort. See you next time. read more

Auto Connection was able to negotiate with Toyota for a 2018 leased Rav earlier this year. Spent 8 hours at the dealership on a Friday. As a woman, I brought along 2 different men to sit in on the negotiations. The dealer did not budge. I heard about Jonathan at my hair salon. Connected on a Friday late afternoon and relayed the make, model and color I wanted to lease. Jonathan saved me $ per month on the lease. Jonathan delivered my 2018 Rav 4 to my door the next day. I highly recommend his services in lieu of the stressful time I experienced at the dealership. Professional, easy going and honest. His colleague spent time familiarizing me with features I would not know existed without his patient guidance. read more

I went through Jonathan at Auto Connection for my 2009 Subaru WRX purchase. In the past, our company had used him to get a Lexus and he was able to broker a really good lease for a LS460L Executive. This was the first time I used him personally. If you don't like dealing with pushy salesman and even worse (and often forgotten), contract/finance guys, going with an auto broker is the way to go. Unlike other brokers, there's no fee going through Auto Connection. His incentive is directly paid by the dealer. You might think the price of the car will be more because of that. Not really. I got my car at invoice plus tax/license/extended warranty. The key is to know which car you want: make, model, trim, color, options. Once you have that, you give it to Jonathan and he'll find the best deal for you. You just have to sit back and wait. The car gets delivered (driven or on a flat bed, your choice) to his office in Mill Valley, where you sign all the contracts. After that, he gives you the keys and you drive off. Very simple, streamline process for buying a new car. No haggling with dealerships over prices or warranties. He does it for you. read more

Excellent service! My wife and I have leased five cars through Jonathan over the past 15 years. Helped me buy a new Mercedes last year. The wife wanted a new 2014 Honda Accord; Jon was the first person we went to. Jonathan worked with the Fleet Manager at Marin Honda and got a great price that beat other dealerships by hundreds of dollars (I had already checked via email). Jonathan bought my wifes 2006 Accord coupe with 42,000 miles. Picked up her new Accord sedan at Marin Honda after fifteen minutes of paperwork. Life is good. We highly recommend Jonathan at the Auto Connection. The wife's happy - I'm happy! read more

I ended up with a really good deal through a friend of a friend. Turns out it was still $150 above what I would've gotten if I had just went with The Auto Connection. So if you need a friend who knows a guy (or gal), Jonathan is that friend. Imagine this, I spent one week wheeling and dealing every single day. If I wasn't at the dealership, I was online dealing. I grew stressed out and was done. I got the deal I got through a friend. Maybe I could've gotten it anyways through the internet and haggling, I don't know. If I had just went with Jonathan from the beginning though he would've landed me at a better deal and I could've saved myself a whole lot of stress, time, gas money going to dealerships..... Even if it ended up being slightly more overall, it would've saved me a week of my life!!! Next time I will probably just go straight to The Auto Connection, go surf or do whatever I want that day, and then check my phone later for a good deal that was accomplished with no stress and was also expedited. Stupid me. Oh, I forgot to add too that he spent over 20 minutes on the phone with me later in the evening just talking cars and deals. He knew I had found him late in my journey and that I was dealing on my own, so he educated me on what to look out for, intricacies of the game, and warned me of scams. I basically got some free advising. I am also thankful that he gave me some of his knowledge about the reliability of the two brands I was looking at. He has been doing this for 20+ years and I really appreciated hearing about his experience and that of his clients with the two different brands. read more

The prospect of negotiating a new car totally stressed me out. Time was of the essence since I blew the head gasket in my 2002 car and was in a car rental. A friend referred me to Jonathan. I told him what I wanted and the features and in 1.5 days, he not only found it but with even more features for less. He picked me up drove me an hour to the dealership and stayed through the whole process to be sure all went well. He then followed up a week later to be sure I was happy with the car. It was a wonderful experience. NEVER buy a new car on your own again! Call Jonathan and take the stress out finding what you want and...save thousands of dollars in the process. I love my new 2020 Subaru Crosstek! Way to go Jonathan; you're the best! read more

Jonathan is as professional as they come. We did a lot of shopping around and knew what we wanted and what we expected to pay. Within a week, the new car was delivered to our driveway, exactly what we wanted, and beat the prices we were able to find by a couple thousand dollars. All the paperwork was completed and ready to sign, the financing deals already arranged on our behalf. It was the easiest experience ever. When it's time to buy another new car, this is the only way I will go from now on. Thanks!! read more

I can not say enough good things about Auto Connection and Jonathan Liff. I just bought my third car from Jonathan. He makes the experience of buying a new car absolutely painless and he gets the best deal possible for you. Jonathan has been doing this for years and knows everyone in the business. He is the consummate professional. He is courteous, professional, very conscientious and he really truly cares about his customers. The process is quick and efficient with no muss and no fuss. He found the car I wanted in Southern California almost immediately. He negotiated an incredible price and he made sure the car was shipped to Northern California (Mill Valley) in a covered enclosed truck for my peace of mind. He then washed it when it got here to make sure it was absolutely perfect when I picked it up. He had Marcus, his associate sit with me for as long as I wanted to show me absolutely every technical aspect of the car. Marcus spent 3 hours with me but he would have spent all day with me if I had wanted. Marcus did all the research on the car before I got there and help me set up my everything including podcasts, audible books and navigation with my Samsung phone and innumerable new technical aspects that came with my new Audi. Jonathan sat in on the training session also. This is all done no charge. Marcus and Jonathan are both incredibly patient and kind. They are true gentlemen. As a single woman who knows very little about technology or cars- I appreciate this service more than I can say. You don't have to deal with a salesman in a dealership. You get all the help you need setting up and understanding the car when it arrives. You get the best price possible. This is all done with attentiveness to detail and concern and regard for the client. Jonathan truly cares about about his customers and takes pride in his work. This is the kind of service you didn't think existed anymore. Don't buy a car on your own. Call Jonathan. You will be so happy you did. Elaine E read more

My experience with Jonathan at Auto Connection was excellent. He was very easy to work with and always available to answer my questions. He delivers as promised and saved me 2.5% on the interest rate of my loan. I bought a 2010 Lexus RX450h and saved thousands on the purchase of the car and he provided full disclosure of his cost. In addition I added chrome wheels that would have cost me a lot more through the dealer and sold them to me for his dealer cost. He is very knowledgeable and reliable. It was an easy process to order the car. I gave him a list of items I wanted and color and he located the vehicle in few days. It was delivered while I was on vacation and with a full tank of gas. I recently purchased a maintenance warranty for almost half the price of what the dealer charges. Jonathan helped me to buy a warranty for the interior that covers the car for 7 years. He provided this service for his cost and picked my car up at my house and delivered it back to me when they were done treating the interior for warranty. I also had a minor car accident last week where my side mirror was hit by a truck and needed to be replaced. He went up to the dealer and got the part for me and delieved it to a shop that he works with and they installed the mirror for $60. The dealer was going to charge me $150. He saved me $220 on the cost of the part and the installation. He has done so much for me that I felt it was only right to share my experience with others. Last time I bought a new car from the dealer I never received even close to the amount of service he offers. I do enjoy getting my car serviced at Lexus and this is why a bought the maintenance warranty which covered all the maintenance up to 50k mile however, it nice to have paid $1300 vs. $2450. Save money and the hassles of dealing with a dealer and call Auto Connection. Jonathan's service is excellent and I highly recommend purchasing a new car from him. Regards, J Campbell Sausalito read more

I bought a car through Jonathon at Auto Connection and the experience was as advertised: easy, friendly, and got a good price that I could not beat locally. The service did not cost me anything - he gets a referral fee from dealers. The car was delivered to my house personally and all the paperwork was done in my living room. While I MAY have been able to get a better deal by haggling, calling multiple dealers, etc. The stress is not worth it. And I asked the local dealer if they could beat the price I got from Auto Connection and they couldn't. read more

When I told a good friend at work that I was shopping around for a new car, he recommended that I call Jonathan. Jonathan advised me to call back when I had the exact car, color, trim and options identified. So, I took a few test drives and decided on a silver Mazda5 in the rare top trim with leather, and found a good no-haggle price with AAA's pre-arrangement with the dealership. This took a few weeks and I was actually pretty happy with where things stood. But then I called Jonathan back and within two hours he called to say that he could have the exact car delivered to my home for $500 less than the dealer's rock bottom price. That's exactly how it happened, and my wife is now happily driving her new car. Jonathan is an expert in his field and I believe he will almost always be able to save money on a car lease or purchase. With the Auto Connecation, everyone wins: he saves the buyer money, gets paid by the dealer, and helps the dealer turn inventory. To echo another review: "The key is to know which car you want: make, model, trim, color, options. Once you have that, you give it to Jonathan and he'll find the best deal for you." read more

I contacted Jonathan several times asking for a price on a new car, but he never provided a quote. I wish that he would have told me that he did not want my business the first time I called instead of wasting my time. read more

I am just now buying my third car from John. No hassle great pricing and no dealership drama. It is the only way I will buy a car. I suggest building your car on the dealer site, sending Jon the information and he will find the car and the price and the car and paperwork are delivered. Cannot say enough good things. read more

I just had a good experience with Jonathan even though it didn't turn into a sale. He was very direct and up-front and easy to work with. And generous with his time and advice. I ended up buying a car direct from a dealer after he had done some legwork on finding a slightly different car for me. He was surprisingly nice about it, helpful, despite not getting my business.. It made me feel like he is more interested in doing a good job by potential customers than closing every single possible deal. read more

I have bought several cars over the years and recently leased a new Kia Optima from Jonathan at the Auto Connection, when a good friend told me about his experience going thru a broker to lease and not a dealership. This by far was the best experience ever. I used to dread the car dealerships and especially the car salesman. Jonathan was as professional as they come, both patient and willing to go over the options and even took my last car in a trade. He made it pain free. I called the Auto Connection and told him what car I wanted, I did the paper work all thru email, Within 48 hours I had the car show up at my office, signed the papers and it was done. I don't think I will ever want to go and try to haggle at a dealership again, Love my new car. Thanks Auto Connection read more

Jonathan was super helpful and quick acting in the deal for my cute new car. He even picked me up to take me to the dealer that had my car (45 minutes away). It was nice to have him there to answer any questions and oversee the process. I think I got a great deal- thanks so much Jonathan. I will definitely recommend him to my friends! read more

I recently bought a Ford Transit Connect with a rare configuration thru Jonathan (only 2 cars of this combo in California). After the local dealer giving me the run around, I contacted Jonathan based on his Yelp reviews. Jonathan was expedient, professional and thorough in finding and securing the car for me. In addition, he gave me a fair price based on KBB's evaluation for my trade-in. He actually drove down to my place of work and home three times to bring me the paper work and to deliver the car. I must say that I enjoyed working with him and would highly recommend him to any of my friends. read more

I have used auto connection to purchase 6 cars over a period of more than 10 years. Jonathan has many connections to the dealers. You save time & money. i'll be back. Dr. Bob read more

I knew of the Auto Connection through friends for years, and always heard great things from Jonathan's customers. Recently, I went to him to arrange a lease on a new Subaru, and I'll never go anywhere else for a car. He was thorough, professional, and patient with my questions. What's more, he doggedly went after the best deal as if he were leasing it for himself. All I needed to do was bring him the make, model, and options; and he did the rest in a very short time. To top it off, when he had the car delivered to his parking lot, his very car-savvy helper sat with me in the car for nearly an hour, explaining its high-tech operations and giving me tips about how/when to use them. Plus, he left the door open for me to re-contact him if I had any questions down the line. Jonathan even called me a month after the deal to make sure I was a satisfied customer, which was a nice touch. All in all, as good as it gets. read more
