The Dealer

Swindlers. We drove 90 miles to buy the truck after agreeing on a price, when we got there he wouldn’t sell us the truck for even $ 200 more than the agreed on price BAD BUSINESS!!!

Hahaha… Please take a second to look at these obviously fake reviews. Everyone of these people giving five stars all have like one friend. Also, everyone of the 5 star reviews look like they were written by the same person. One of them has just been copy and pasted from Livermore Toyota. Ha wow! Anyhoo, these lowlifes sold me a lemon. When I called to have them handle it they simply said get a lawyer. That’s when I started looking at their Unilocal reviews. Look at all the 1 star reviews, they are all the same, lemons. DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM THESE CREEPS! They are shady liars that have to resort to fake Unilocal reviews to mask their awful business practices. When i took the car to a mechanic he told me that the transmission was on its last legs. He said someone had definitely got i their and turned off the service engine switch. Hmm? I wonder how that could have happened? Do yourself a favor and run from these jokers.

Thank you Livermore Toyota! I bought my Highlander last weekend in Fremont; brand new. Today, my son’s backpack got stuck in the hatch door. I couldn’t open it. I called Livermore Toyota and explained to them what happened. They were very kind on the phone and told me to bring my car to the Service Dept. (even though I didn’t purchase it from them).
When I arrived, a man walked over immediately to me. I explained what happened, he got a tech; boom, they opened my hatch. There was another gentleman with the tech. They were both very kind. They opened it within minutes and we had a few laughs.
THANK YOU AGAIN LIVERMORE TOYOTA! Your service is appreciated. I’m sorry I didn’t purchase my Highlander from you.

For my first experience here, the staff was really friendly and helpful. They asked questions was what car you’re looking for and didn’t rush like other dealers out there. I came here to look at a lifted Dodge Ram SLT but I found out it was sold before I got there. So I found a rare find that I used to have interest in, which was a 03 Nissan Sentra SE-​R. So when you step into this lot look for CJ, he will help out with what you’re looking for. Funny and out going salesman, very straight forward and no lies behind tte cars history. Recommend this place!

Hello,
I have been looking for a car for a while, i knew i wanted a 2 door BMW. I searched for months an couldn’t find the car i liked. I finally saw a 2005 645 CI at The Dealer and went down to check it our. CJ and his team pulled the car out for me and let me go for a test drive. I took it on the freeway and through town to make sure i was comfortable and i enjoyed the ride. I spend a solid amount of time going through this car. He did not mind nor did he force me to buy and told me to take my time. Even gave me options to look at other cars and told me to come back or look for something else if i didnt like it, which made it easier for me to make my decision. The price was a little high but CJ worked with me to get me financed and i couldn’t have been more happy. The car is my dream car. It is a BMW so it comes with its fair share of wear and tear (just like every used car) but i expected that when looking at BMW’s.
The customer service hear was pretty good for a used car dealership. They seem very busy and know what they are doing and what they are talking about.
Always do your homework when buying a used car because no one want to feel like they got ripped off. After all no one really knows what happened to a car before they bought it.
That being said, my experience here was wonderful and should i or someone in my family need a used car, id recommend The Dealer.

Bought a car with 150k Miles from this dealer about a year ago and I thought I was getting a good deal for it, but I didn’t. I bought the car and drove it home for the first time and the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT came on. I called him he said to not worry and that he would fix it.
I went to my mechanic and my own mechanic told me the car needed an overhaul. I told the dealer about this and he said that wasn’t the problem. So I let the dealer convince me that I didn’t need an engine overhaul because he told me that I shouldn’t believe in what my own family mechanic said because he has be doing this business for many years. How unprofessional of him to say that!
At first I thought the spark plugs were the problem because the car had random misfire in the cylinders. After having the car for about a month I checked the oil and I found out it was empty. At this point I knew the car had oil problems.
Later on he took it in for maintenance at his own mechanic and it seemed fixed for a day or so and then the CEL came on again! While I was at his own mechanic I talked to the guy and he said that the car always had an engine light problem and they thought it was fixed before they sold it. I didn’t have a lot of time to go back and forth to the shop and a month or so past by and I called him again.
This time he took it to another mechanic to get it fixed. The mechanic had the car for a week and they told me they fixed the problem. Apparently the labor was $ 1000. He told me it was the last time he would help out. So after this I thought the car was fine, but it wasn’t. The CEL came on after a week and the oil was still leaking. I didn’t want to get an overhaul at the time because of financial issues and I was sick and tired of dealing with this guy.
I went to a car dealership after owning the car for 6 months to trade in this horrible car and I found out that the car was leaking oil inside the engine the whole time I had it. They didn’t want to buy the car at all, but then they needed sales so they bought the car for $ 1000, knowing that they will lose money.
So Im conclusion, I learned my lesson to never trust used cars at all, please have someone thats good with cars check the car first before buying.
Don’t trust the dealer because all they want to do is sell you an overpriced car they bought for cheap.

I love this place! I recently purchased a new BMW from here last week, and previously a year before purchased a miata and BMW 325 last year from cj. The owner CJ is a great guy and he’s easy to deal with, he has no hassle prices and his staff is friendly and helpful. it’s very easy process to get a car through this dealership and I recommend anyone to come check this place out. I’ve had no issues or mechanical issues with any of my cars purchased here. Thanks CJ for my cars over the past few years!

Great help, great service and they made the transaction very easy. There was no pressure to buy. These guys were honest/​truthful about the vehicle I purchased through them plus they even gave me a brief history about the car. I am completely satisfied with my purchase, I would recommend this dealership to anyone who is looking for a honest business.

I called 3 times today asking for a vehicle with cash in hand, someone with a bad temper told me I’ll call u back and hang out on me, after emailing as the last attempt no answer, i work in the auto industry and i know how this works but it seems to me the crew on Sunday doesn’t know and understand customers are always first, good luck

Horrible dealer, and the information given on the vehicles through the website are incorrect and dealer had horrible attitude. I’m pretty sure those who gave a 5 star rating have some kind of close connection to this guy they seem fake if you ask me. I literally had to sign up for Unilocal just give a bad review about this place because their service was so bad. Don’t go here.

I recently bought a Mitsubishi Eclipse GT, I love it, Its beautiful the engine is quiet. The car had Low mileage. Great quality Vehicles! Very Helpful with the whole process it’s was quick and easy! I Highly recommend everyone to Visit for a great Deal.

I’ve dropped in twice to see a car. The first day I called after noticing there office was closed. When the gentleman answered he said he would be back in five minutes I waited for 30 minutes to have nobody show up. I showed up a second time during their posted business hours and the same deal. Very sketchy joint.

Okay I’ve been procrastinating in posting a review of my experience with this used car dealer since I bought my car in September 2012 (over a year and a half ago).
The car I bought was already 12 years old at the time with over 100K miles on it. I did have to deal with some minor cosmetic things like the leather on the driver’s seat which is typical of a car of this age and a leather interior. I saw the potential to have the cosmetic things taken care of especially for the price I bought the car for and comparing the price on other similar cars. Since I’ve owned the car I have taken it on several trips to LA to visit my family for different occasions and I never had any problems with the mechanical operation and reliability of the car. If you’ve driven to LA either on 101 or 5 you definitely don’t want to break down and be stranded in the middle of nowhere! The only thing I’ve had to do since owning the car is get a new battery since it was time to replace it after the usual number of years that batteries last.
I would not hesitate to get another car from this dealer in fact I just saw one on their website that I’m interested in and will be giving them a call to see if it’s still available since they seem to sell their cars pretty fast!
Overall I’ve been very satisfied with my car purchase and with their customer service and I would not hesitate to buy another car from them and refer others to check them out.

These guys are AWESOME! I bought my 2007 BMW X5 From them. A while back I went in looking for an SUV knowing I wanted an X5 3.0SI. CJ let me test drive the 3.0Si that he had and didnt pressure me into buying it. He let me Drive the V8 4.8i that he had as well. After talking for a while he suggested that the for me, I’d be happier with the V8, and after driving the V8 I agreed. The One he had was not in the color scheme that I wanted, So I didnt end up buying the one he had. He didnt seem upset by it. Just told me that if he comes across another X5 He’d give me a call.
About 3 weeks later I got a call from him saying he came across A black X5 and if I was still in the market I should come take a look at it. I went in and bought the Car that day. He even offered to do in house financing for me so that I didnt have to go to my credit union and apply for a loan and wait for funding, etc. I’ve bought several cars new and used from different dealerships and this was by far one of the best experiences I’ve ever had purchasing a Car. I love my Car and i’m glad i waited to buy the right one and didnt force myself into some of the ones other car dealers were pressuring me to buy.

**Be careful where you walk, there is poop EVERYWHERE!
Anyways, went here with a friend since she was looking to check out a car. We saw the car she wanted and went for a test drive. It all seems fine short term and it didnt look like there was any problem besides wear and tear.
The transaction was fast and the guy kept insisting we got the best deal etc etc. We were just screwed from there when she paid.
There was all sorts of problem after she got the car for 2 – 3 months. We called the guy and asked him to do some maintenance work on it since he said he done it before it was sold but we felt like it wasnt. He said we could but he will just split the payment. Fishy? YES.
Long story short. If it looks almost good to be true then its definitely not true. You can definitely go here to buy the car, but you will spend and extra $ 5000 to get it in good running shape.

so it has been almost three months since i’ve purchased the car, and i’ve been in and out of the shop. The reason isn’t because i’m fixing the same problem, but because a new code is thrown at me after one is fixed. this is just ridiculous. Also, like i said before, the dealer claims they inspect their cars before selling. THAT IS NOT TRUE! after my mechanic took the engine apart, BOY IT WAS NOT PRETTY! sorry for «yelling» but this is really frustrating. The car looks fine from just looking at it. (clean) unfortunately, that isn’t the case after it is taken apart. DON’T BE FOOLED BY THE APPEARANCE! lucky this isn’t my only car, and i’m not dependent on it. so far, i’ve spent a little over $ 2000 on PARTS! maybe they have better cars there, and i just unluckily chose the beat up car. i definitely would not recommend this place to anyone.
DISHONEST! do not go.
also, i personally believe the other reviews are typed by people who know the owner personally. not saying all, but a good portion.

i went to several dealerships while i was on a hunt for a new car, it was a hard process and i think we all know the stereo types for sales men. sleezy, money hungry monsters and this is how i felt when i entered the lot, from the start it was just pressure to buy a new car and i was very disgusted, now this review is a couple months over due and this all happened a couple months back. hopefully they have changed because i see they have pretty good reviews.
+2 stars — for having nice cars/​lot
— 1 star — for being sleezy
–1 star for pressuring me to buy a car i didnt even want
— 1 star — for not being honest with me.

So I came upon The Dealer and C J, the owner after researching cars on different car apps… After about 2 weeks, my car, my baby, was still on the list. thank god :) However, I was surprised to find out that I had been eyeing a car that was a manual transmission. I didn’t know how to drive one! lol. but I was determined to learn and after speaking with C J he told me, «You worry too much, I will teach you don’t worry!» Literally, he did help me before I purchased my Honda. I haven’t experienced this type of customer service in a long long time! So he is a rare find :) Anyways, I arrived there around 10am (he usually sees clients by appt. only so call ahead), but I called anyways since I noticed the office was closed. About 30 minutes of waiting he came back with another client probably as happy as I was about to be, and then after verifying it was me who spoke with him on the Wednesday before the Saturday I showed up, he handed the keys so I could test drive it. During the drive, everything was great with the car, and my best friend who was helping me learn had only one complaint about it, but it’s something that could be probably oiled up to be a smoother transition. After about an hour of practicing by ourselves, while C J was off helping another client, he showed up and then we got down to the nitty gritty. I walked away the same day with my baby and have been in love ever since! Since I have purchased my car 6 months ago from him, I have no issues except replacing two tires back in August and getting an Oil Change which helped me fix the «Maintenance check light» which came on 3 months after. that’s normal after the usual mileage of 110 – 115,000. I also had to get an alignment after the two tires which he hooked me up with his slew of mechanics he has on hand. Recently, I had a scare of my car being stolen so after calling him asking for some advice, he gives me a «Club» for free for my steering wheel so I’m at mental peace when I park my baby… In the six months I have known C J to be a man who treats me just like one of his daughters. He’s a funny, honest human being that understands how a woman feels about her first car buying experience, and the fact that she will already be on edge. He put me at ease and I highly recommend him to anyone because he is as good as it gets! He recently just moved down the street from his old location on Thornton Ave. as well. So go check him out, you won’t be sorry :). He’s also got a Porsche Carrera for $ 4,500 that’s super sweet!

we bought a car for our son in Dallas Texas we called and we spoke to CJ, the whole process was easy and the car was better then described.
They picked us up from the airport very straight forward and pleasant we drove the car back not a single problem even it was an as is sale and we cant expect a new car for the price .
thank you

We were looking for a used automatic car which would be a good starter car for a new driver. We needed one for my wife’s commuting needs. Our budget constraints were pretty tight to begin with. Even though the Suzuki Aerio we bought from CJ was a few hundred dollars over our budget, we didn’t think twice or even attempt to negotiate for a better price since it was already a killer deal.
We drove out the day we wrapped up the paperwork for the sale. The bank was delaying his payment but through all of that he was very understanding. He did a great job with the sale and working with the bank. It was a pleasure doing business with him and I will definitely visit him for my car needs in the future. He is by far the best car dealer I’ve dealt with. I will definitely recommend him to anyone.
P.S: The car was also good!
