123 Car Buying - 2019 Toyota TRD Sport with 3381! - Auto Repair Near Me - Upland, California

Don't buy cars from here their warranty is a joke as they pick and choose what they want to cover and since they have a body and mechanic shop they charge for what should be covered under their warranty. Also their work causes more car problems than I originally had with a car I bought from them. Do not buy a car from these clowns read more

I took my daughter to buy a Mercedes from this used car sales / automotive repair shop. After we had purchased the car we had noticed that there was an oil leak , we took the vehicle back to the owner and he repaired it at no cost to us even though it wasn't a cheap fix. I appreciate that the owner was a good enough person to fix the car even though by law he didn't have to. read more

So much appreciation for them. I can't begin to explain how grateful I am for this shop. I was in much needed guidance after experiencing such horrible overpriced experience at another local mechanic shop. Feeling defeated and overcome with worry I prayed and was guided to call this shop. From the first phone call they were welcoming, friendly and very professional. I have extended warranty on my vehicle and well, they are great to have I also understand they are also a pain and can be demanding working with a third party; not only did they work with them they also did the non warranty part for not even half of what the other shop was asking for. I was out of town and not familiar with a lot considering I don't know much about vehicles. They communicated well with my insurance and husband and guiding us truly to the best, honest, ethical options. Shops and customer service like this, sadly, don't exist anymore, let alone the honesty of work. My sister lives nearby and I will always bring my vehicle to this shop when I'm in town. I trust them fully and I am so appreciative. Thank you All! read more

Wow. Can't believe I bought a car and was treated nicely and... got the car I wanted and it has no problem. Got my Toyota Camry 5 months ago. I've waited to leave a review. You just never know. They were super nice. Car is clean, drives great(still) and really happy. Hard to believe. Thanks. read more

Totally trust this place, specifically James and the value is the best around. I had a clunker for years and after hunting down affordable mechanics for years, they are hands down the best. Thank god I have new car now, but if something happens I'm definitely calling James before Toyota. read more

I was looking for a Lexus GS 350 F Sport on the Internet, and came across 123 Auto. I live in Thousand Oaks, so it's quite a drive to Upland, but I'm sure glad that I made the trip! I can't express how much of a pleasure it was dealing with Ed. He went out of his way to complete necessary repairs and when the repairs were more expensive than expected, he covered the cost. I found Ed to be very honest and a man of his word. When I am looking to buy my next car, my first call will be to 123 Auto. read more

My car took 1 month to be fixed. I took all 3 of my cars there and at first it was great then all of a sudden stuff started breaking that we had never had problems with. My new mechanic told me that there were holes in my oil pan. Tiny holes that someone drilled in! Then the oil plug was bent and only half way in. James told me that it was going to cost $900 to figure out where the oil was coming from. WORST SCAM AUTO REPAIR AROUND! Run and take your car with you!!!! read more

Awesome service these guys are the best ED is very helpful in any questions you have and gets u the best deals for parts services and repairs awesome customer service you guys are great read more

We honestly just had the best buying experience we've ever had. With over a dozen vehicles purchased in our lifetime (including 4 or 5 through Mercedes Benz dealerships), Ed and Elie were bar-none the best. Not only were they consummate professionals, they were honest, knowledgeable and highly EFFICIENT. We were treated like family. Our financial institution vetted their dealership and has added 123 Car Buying onto their approved platform list. We will gladly drive to Upland and use them again and again!!! read more

This guy sales on offer up place a price on the ad make n offer the text me back two days later then tells me he cant do won't make no money two days later he drops the price lower then what I originally offered him no way to run a business just beware before you deal with them read more

The guys here are amazing! This is my second time bringing in my car and they always take really good care of me and my vehicle. James will always try and get you the best deal and provide a fair price. It's hard finding some where that can take care of your vehicle right away right now due to covid but they squeezed me in. Thank you guys so much! read more

Great customer service and car service. Came in for a Smog Check and was seen immediately. Smog Check was done quickly. Waiting area was very comfortable and welcoming. read more

Great place. I will continue taking any vehicle i have to James, hes very patient and honest. Recommend it %.

The last time I needed to get my car smog certified I found a coupon for this place. Went there and they got me in within 15 minutes. The car passed, but they also informed me that my BMW valve cover gasket was leaking (which I already knew I had an oil leak), and my rear brake pads were getting low. They quoted me a very reasonable price, but I wasn't comfortable not knowing if they had the experience working on BMWs. Fast forward a year, the oil leak was getting worse, so I went to my regular mechanic and asked them what they would charge me to replace the valve cover gasket. His answer was, we'll checkout the vehicle for $70 and let you know. Based on past experiences with them, I already knew they won't apply that $70 toward the repair because the last time I dealt with them I told them that was absurd - but they already had my car so I had them repair it. Mind you, I've spent thousands of dollars with them. So THIS time, I decided to give 123 a try. I had them replace the valve cover gasket, replace the rear brake pads and rotors and perform an oil and filter change using the best synthetic oil and filter. I received the car back the same day, the price was very reasonable - and it ran great! I've also waited three weeks to write this review as I have been checking for oils leaks in our garage every day since the repair, and I'm happy to report they did a great job on everything and I'm very pleased. Now I have a go to place for smog tests, oil/filter changes and I will always give them first consideration for repairs.... They are a no-nonsense, honest repair and maintenance business. Try them.....you won't be disappointed. read more

For a little over 2 years my car had been shaking when I would come to a complete stop & sometimes it was an intense vibration. I used to always take my car to the dealer to get maintenance done. I took it twice to the dealer they never could figure out what it was despite me paying for a diagnostic & spending hundreds of dollars. Then I took it to a local shop who claimed all the work they did would solve the issue & wasted another $700. After these 3 occasions I was hesitant to take it anywhere because it was simply wasting my money & nothing was being resolved. I finally decided give it another shot and to go 123 auto center because my uncle recommended it. I wish I would have came here from the start! Right away I explained the problem & even drove the car with a mechanic so I can explain & demonstrate what the car would do because sometimes it would only shake on very specific occasions. They figured out what was wrong with the car and the issue has since been fixed! I definitely recommend this place to anyone who needs repairs done. They are very honest, have good customer service, are not over priced & most importantly they actually resolve the issue. I also appreciated that they send you your invoice thru text & you can approve or decline the work online. read more

Best auto body shop in the area that I've been to. Jamie treats you like family. The owner, Ed, is also super friendly. Fast service with a smile! read more

I'm always happy with the care and service I receive. I drive 30 miles to come here! James is the best!

Stopped in to look at a car listed for sale. Met James Schooley who took time on a Very Busy Monday to answer our questions, show us the car. discuss options for purchase. All this as the phone and his cell are continuously ringing. James works extremely well under pressure And he's very pleasant! My grandson was surprised he took so much time with us. Very positive experience!! read more

My first time here was a pleasant experience. I came on a Saturday morning for an oil change and battery check. James helped me out, and I appreciated his honesty and sincerity as he honored a quote that he previously gave me over the phone. The waiting room was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The oil change and battery check was much faster than I expected, and I definitely appreciated the prompt service. I found that the prices were very reasonable and there was no pressure to get unnecessary repairs done. I will coming back and recommending this shop to others! Thanks to the entire team! read more

Bought my first car from this location ! Best and most comfortable place to buy a car. Ed was SUPER proactive in the process as well as helping me with insurance . Initially went for a Hyundai Veloster, but came out with a Toyota Matrix. Any issue that surfaced, it was immediately handled and dealt with. I been looking for a car for 2+months obsessively. Buying a car from this location was the greatest luck I've had!! read more

If you live in Claremont or Upland area and your car or truck needs service or repairs, you need to go to 123 Auto Center. I've brought all my cars there for the past 6 years for regular maintenance, smog tests and needed repairs. The staff is really good about not trying to upsell you and will always let you know when you need additional services. James is always helpful and willing to accommodate your requests. They have good, fair and reasonable prices. Give them a try next time your car need something done. read more

I bought my 2007 Ford Escape Hybrid from Joe at 123 Car Buying about one month ago. I was on my way out to see another car at a dealership in Rancho Cucamonga when I found this car on my Cargurus app, which is a great app, by the way if you're looking to buy a used car. I decided to stop here since it was on the way and never did make it to the other dealership. 123 Car Buying is a small, family owned and operated lot. They had approximately 25 cars on the lot at the time I stopped in. All seemed to be in above average condition, clean and decently priced. The sales person, Joe, who happens to be the owners son in law, was above and beyond helpful and accommodating. He encouraged my friend and I to test drive multiple cars, which we did. I knew I was only interested in the Ford Escape but the service was so good that my friend actually considered trading in her Dodge Magnum for one of he Mercedes she test drove. I explained to Joe and the owner, Ed that I had a budget I absolutely had to stick to and they were more than willing to work with me and make the deal work for everyone. I was shocked at how easy and pleasant the entire process was. There were a few minor issues I had with the car, like a crack in the front window, but Joe and Ed assured me that they would take care of it at no extra cost. I purchased the car and picked it up from the lot a couple days later after they detailed it and replaced the windshield. I am now helping my boyfriend find a new truck and I've contacted 123 Car Buying to see if they can help us find exactly what were looking for at the price we are willing to spend. I have no doubt that this second car buying experience will be just as good as the first. I will recommend 123 Car Buying to anyone who is looking to buy a car. The experience has been the best car buying experience I've ever had. read more

This place is amazing. James always takes time to work issues out without upselling or overcharging. He's committed to building a base of satisfied customers who return and refer business rather than take advantage of people who need a repair. Highly recommend and amazed that I can say I have a mechanic that I trust 100%. read more

I originally Took my 88 Ford F-150 in because another shop failed to do their job correctly. Wasting my time and money! 123 auto repair did the opposite of that and offered me excellent service. Gave me the exact break down of what the issue was and also showed me what needed to be replaced. All the repairs were done in a timely matter and everything was done to perfection! The Work was nice and clean and noticeably. I was able to notice a difference Rite away! I can't thank James & Edgar enough for taking care of my truck since originally it came in running horrible. Baby came out of the shop a new truck. Also thanks for taking care of the Nissan Sentra the following week. That lil thing is running great and smooth with the new tune up and added suspension. Next up is the Prius I'll be giving you guys a call soon. Thanks once again! read more

Great service and low prices. James is so honest and helpful and takes great care of his customers!!!

First, I have seldom had a positive experience with mechanics but my home attitude changed when a client referred me to 1-2-3. Wow, honesty and integrity is what you get. Not only did they identify the problem, it cost me a fraction of the price the dealer quoted me. Within 2 days I had my car back. I waited a month before posting to ensure everything was working and had no trouble. Already have referred my family and friends over. Thank you Ed and James. read more

Ed is very professional and answered all questions. He text me the car fax info in minutes . He is very honest and polite . An old school kinda guy.v valdez US ARMY Veteran read more

Ed is a good businessman, but services are awful, James is very unprofessional just because he can't answer our questions and asking when can we can get our car he hang up on us, as a customer you have the right to ask questions regarding the car that is in service, beside we bought our car to them and for just a week, we already have problems, we had been back and forth fixing the same thing over and over again. Nobody wants that, hope they will learn how to deal with the customer right. read more

One day about 3 years ago I was driving down Foothill Blvd and I saw a sign that said smog check $19.95! I made a u-turn and went in. I met James! Since that day I have sent numerous people to this shop! They do good work at fair prices and in a timely manner! Go in and ask for James, you won't be disappointed! read more

When I came in to buy a car last year right before coronavirus hit. On the initial visit I got great service. Within a week of my purchasing the RAV4 2006 it started running hot. I called the owner told me to bring it in they thought it was the thermostat. Found out it was a blown head. The owner of the shop was very belligerent rude and he was using words such as you people always trying to get over. I don't know much about Motors meaning that I didn't know that there is two parts upper and lower. Well they did the work but they didn't complete the job. Now after I purchase the car and it was in the shop initially they had to keep it longer because of the coronavirus that shut down a lot of businesses. So in actuality I've actually had my car for less than a year. I need to replace the entire engine that was supposed to be in fixed. No I would not recommend this place because not of the Shady job they did but because of the rude attitude. Also im still paying on my loan. read more

Great place to come for all car questions and repairs. Oil changes are affordable and done quickly. They are honest and reliable. I am so glad I found this place. Open on Sundays as well which always helps. I came in with so many questions and they truly helped me. My fiancé and I come here now with both of our cars. If you come here you won't be disappointed! I have always been hesitant to come to car repair places alone but not here! If I could give it more than 5 stars I totally would!!! Ed helped me today and I am so happy and leaving very satisfied. read more
