I’ve been in the market for a car for a few months now and I’m glad that I came to this dealership for my purchase. Shout out to Frank for getting the deal done and working with me to make everything happen. I’d recommend coming to this dealer if you’re in the market for a pre owned car.

Joshua Monroy sold me a beautiful 2019 Alfa Romeo, he was insanely patient, kind, helpful, and urgent when it came to printing up all the paperwork for my contract. Josh was insanely professional, respectful and informational. Definitely going to come back in the future. Id say he deserves an A+ and 10/10 for the experience, he worked through all of the intricacies of my situation and did his best to make sure I was getting a good deal on the car. So, shout out to Josh, and Jessie, (the finance manager) !

I was helped by Andres and had the best experience I have ever had purchasing a vehicle. He walked me through the whole process and made the transaction painless. He was very friendly and personable. He followed up a few days later to make sure everything was ok and I was enjoying my truck. Excellent customer service and I would recommend Andre’s and this dealer to anyone

The Vehicles could be kept cleaner and better maintained, however the service from the workers is great! I was helped by Jose, and he was very kind, helpful, and did not pressure me at all! I recommend this dealership if you are looking for a used car at a very fair price!

I had a wonderful experience with Justin Villalobos, he never pushed me to get the extended warranty or a higher price vehicle, I decided my own car payment and term length and they were okay with it I felt like I rob this place with the deal that I got.
