    They were honestly the best. Walter helped me above and beyond. As a younger person I hadn't known what exactly i was looking at when purchasing a car, He gave me tips and helped me immediately. Couldn't ask for better service. I would highly recommend these guys, didn't had any miscommunication or anything. Amazing Dealership!!!

    Do not come to the shop THEY TRIED TO KILL ME. They put a bad engine and battery in my car and when I went to pick my vehicle they had broken my rearview mirror and previously they had broken my oil pan as well, My car was on fire due to the negligence and unethical behavior. They charged for a hose replacement purposely did not connect the hose and clap properly which damaged my 4 month old engine. They will break your vehicle then try to sell you one of the lemons that they have. I was ganged up on, and my car was surrounded by all of the employees and owner. They were banging on my window after they damage my property and was very unethical. I had to call the police. they don't not even want to fix the issues that are covered under warranty with the parts or labor. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY IF YOU WANT HONEST AND RELIABLE WORK DONE ON YOUR CAR!!!!! Please see photos of before my car went to then no lights no major issues and after they so called serviced my vehicle

Good morning, I purchased a grey Honda HR-V on 05/01/26. This SUV was returned on 05/19/26 due to concerns you each received in an email dated 05/02/26 (11:32 am). I would like it noted and I did call on 05/19/26 to speak with a Sales Manager regarding the excellent service I received from Robert and Wausaun, this portion of my experience was seamless. After receiving my new white Honda HR-V on 05/19/26 during my drive home the TPMS light came on. I called the Customer Service number and was notified that due to it being after 6 pm service was closed. I arrived at 7:28 am on 05/20/26 and was assisted by Ishmael. I explained to him the aforementioned and was met with the following: 1. He stated that my issue could not be resolved because I did not have an appointment. - I stated that I just wanted the air pressure checked because after I left on 05/19/26 Discount Tire Co was closed and on 05/20/26 they had yet to open as I stated previously I arrived at 7:28. 2. Ishmael also stated that I could leave the car and when Service had an opportunity the car could be checked. - I pointed out that I had to go to work, which he then stated I could receive a courtesy ride share. My position is itinerant meaning I am not stationary and need my car for work. Upon further prodding Ishmael took the SUV to check the PSI. Why this many conversational turns took place with no one in service that needed to be assisted is beyond my understanding. When Ishmael returned he stated that the PSI was low on the front two tires and overinflated on the back two tires. I asked "what was the PSI supposed to be" he proceeds to "mansplain" what PSI is WHEN THAT WAS NOT THE QUESTION ASKED. In lieu of listening to listen he listened to respond. He also stated that the TPMS light would go off after driving, which I understand because this is my 3rd Honda purchase from your location and second issue across 2 different cars with Service. I drove out of my way to ensure the light would turn off, it did not. I watched a YouTube video and recalibrated it myself. I am not employed by Carmax nor do I appreciate having to do someone's job had customer service been his priority this morning, it took a matter of 3 minutes. Again, no one was waiting in the service bay other than myself. Considering that Carmax is facing a challenging time and consumers such as myself still choose to do business with you because of Salesmen such as Robert, Wasuan and notable mention "Peter" who I purchased my first Honda from while in college is beyond me. I would like to know how the Service Department is going to rectify this situation? Thanks in advance,

I am naturally skeptical of any used car dealership even more so one that has so many high ranking reviews. I didn't initially believe it and thought they were fake. Boy was I wrong! Joad (Sales Manager) & Zuri (Sales Agent) do business the old school way. They stand behind their product, no B.S. Bait & Switch, and take care of their customers to no end! They offer a 7-day warranty on there vehicles and dont just sell you junk that you have to be worried about breaking down the minute you roll off the lot. They sold me a solid business van for my fleet, that had low miles and it was the cheapest priced vehicle online in the entire country. They are in business for the long haul and understand the importance of reputation. They treat people with the upmost respect regardless of price on car, like some other dealerships. Motors on Wheels went above and beyond for me to make sure I was 100% satisfied with the esthetics and mechanical integrity of my vehicle, which gave me peace of mind! Never experienced this level of customer service and professionalism from any dealership, not even the big manufacturer dealerships. They earned my business for life. I will be purchasing all of my future business vehicles from them!

Zaki was…read morethorough, answered all my questions, addressed the issues as requested, kept the process moving without making me feel any pressure. He made a few suggestions that put more money in my pocket on the sale of my existing car. He also showed me his research, looked at alternative cars I could consider, and explained his pricing approach. Not at all a typical used car buying experience. King Brothers is small enough for the personalized experience, but large enough to know what they are doing. Excellent experience!! And I love my new(er) minivan every time I drive it!

From the…read morequality of car and information regarding it to pricing that will have you leaving the dealership patting yourself on the back for getting such great value, King Brothers covers all the basics. We were concerned going to a smaller dealership that we would have issues finding financing that didn't cripple us. Not a concern here. If this wasn't enough, Zaki has proven that he has the goods to build a premier dealership as the personal care that he places on cars and customers is apparent from the time you meet. You will likely be taken aback by the way that Zaki balances being personal and professional, knowledgeable and compassionate. Unfortunately we had a situation arise causing us to not be able to purchase from Zaki (completely our fault) and he was more than gracious and understanding. While we didn't get to purchase from Zaki( this time), we will be referring all of our friends and family to King Brothers. I only write reviews that I am utterly compelled to, and after spending weeks going through the car shopping fiasco, meeting many wonderful and terrible people, Zaki was the star that outshined them all. I wish Zaki and King Brothers nothing but success as this is just the type of experience we need in the world. Whether you purchase from King Brother's or not, you can rest assured that this 5 star rating (at this time) is not a fluke.
