bought the F150 and within 2weeks, I've spent $4000 trying to fix an engine problem. even though I bought the truck as is, which is how they all get away with these lemons. I tried to buy a warranty but they refuse to call me back. Thanks Sonny and Dyneeka or whatever your name is.. I guess Carb will be my next contact read more

These people are terrible sold me a car with a terrible transmission, literally told me the mechanic look at everything before sold terrible people here I have to spend 3 grand for a new transmission now. read more

Doing business with A1 cars was great! Jay was absolutely amazing! She got us the best deal and down payment on the car we purchased!

deceitful place. they will lie to get you to come ins saying you're approved then when you get there you're. it and they need more money. they violate financial practices and ask for under the table payments. Franky is who I encountered. no accountability. they do. or care about you. they care about their money, no matter how they make it. legal or illegal! they will back up your prices too. deceitful. stay away. read more

The first time I went by, Sonny was at first very defensive and a little condescending about my trade in value. Honestly treated me like a moron. This changed when I matched his condescending energy by correcting some of his more blatant lies as he spewed them in real time. Its cars so I get it. Sonny was dishonest and cold in general-in hindsight. He'll try to convince you your trade value is flawed, or undesireable. Telling you that its features actually diminish its value. Insulting to say the least. He underestimates the intelligence of his customer base and gets flustered by any inquisition into his applied logic. This is likely as he has admitted engaging in predatory lending practices with Westlake Financial as his only financing option. I imagine its literally his business model to sell cars to those in dire straits and credit disrepair. Basically a glorified chop shop. Auction cars with bs issues getting wheel tire combos to sell to young inner city kids in a predatory manner. In trying to get something for my 16yo he admitted this. Had I not been recovering from my own credit murder via divorce Id never set foot in these despicable establishments. They seemed explicitly designed to exacerbate the financial struggles of those with little to no financial literacy. Sonny seems to revel in this manipulative game. The combination of his condescension and general over valuation of his auction cars leads me to believe Ive made a very serious judgement error in trusting this family with my auto needs. Im sure hes very succesful financially with this method. His family seem nice... I should note the car I purchased 3 months ago from A1 Carz and Sonny in particular has these new issues. Breaks are failing. Alignment is bad. Electric windows have 75% failure rate. Rotors are bad, 3 of 4. AC control module failed. Found aftermarket spacers installed at rotors without proper torque. Slipping Transmission. Overspray... So anyways stay away if you want a decent car place to do business at. There are better options out there I suppose for those trying ti repair their credit. Sonny give me a call or shoot me a line. read more

Went to look at a BMW convertible hardtop they wanted half the price down and there were warning lights on the computer

An employee by the name of Sunny very unreliable. Bought a car there a while back and never received a lien release once the car was paid off. Since I live about an hour away asked if they could mail it. No problem they said. Waited about 2 weeks and never received anything. Long story short, reached out to them about 10 times each time they said paperwork in the mail. It's been over 3 months, still no paperwork. Lost a sale on the car thanks to the negligence of the company! Would rate a 0 if I could. read more

I've worked in the car dealership business for 5 years. I know how these places usually work. I was surprised to find that I was treated well and respected. No games and they were very helpful all through out the process. A+++ from my experience there with Ali and Sonny at A1 CARZ. Not to mention the car I bought was in very immaculate condition for the price. Clean car fax and all! read more

Was in the market for a good truck and Sonny sold me a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab!!! They made the experience easy and fast. We did run into a problem with the truck (used, of course there will be issues), and Sonny took care of the situation backing his name and company!!!! Will definitely be going back for other vehicles in the future. read more

THEY ARE A SCAM!!! ALL THEY SALE ARE LEMON NS! After 7 days of having my new car it stalled on me!!! The car was shaking and when I press the gas it wouldn't accelerate. So like anyone would do I took the car back to the place that I bought it from A1 cars and he went and he checked on it but within 10 minutes brought it back said he change the spark plugs so I asked for a video and all he showed me was something that he was trying to blame on me saying that I poured water on the engine. Which I didn't, he was very rude he he was very rude and unprofessional please take your money some where else he is a scam.fuck him! read more

I bought a car with Albert and he made the experience exactly what I wanted. No miss leading info no false offers and saved me so much time. He communicated and coordinated everything as I wanted to by text and email until I could make it in. After wasting time at other big corporate locations I was not looking forward to car shopping. A1 has everything I needed for my purchase. Highly recommend. I'll be using them in the future. They are so accommodating and really got me the best deal. Better than I expected. Albert even sent the car to such a nice tint shop near by "Unique Car Shop " which also had great service, quality work. I get so many compliments on the car and it has such low miles. Thanks again Albert, I'll definitely continue spreading the word. read more

I recently purchased a used car from Sonny. He made the process completely easy and was very nice and treated me and my wife very well. I did not have the best credit, but he was able to work with me and put me into a vehicle I really wanted. An issue came up with a check engine light a few days later. Not uncommon on used cars. I called Sonny and told him about the check engine light. He asked me to bring in the car. Within a couple of days, Sonny had the problem taken care of! Buying a used car is not always a good experience, but I highly recommend A1 Carz and Sonny! He is simply the best! read more

I really love my 2011 Ford Fusion purchase from A1 Carz. It's a nice addition to my rental Fleet. Service at A1 Carz was prompt and attentive. The purchase process went with ease with minimal haggling. Score of the new battery and the price I can afford. read more

Ali was friendly and professional when I was looking for used replacement car for my son. They even delivered my car to San Ramon for me. A! Carz went above and beyond with my sale. Thank you! read more

This place is a joke literally joke of a business it's a scam. First they buy cars from auction and "fix" them up it's mostly cosmetic fixes to make the car look nice on the lot. I found a Subaru Impreza I liked there seemed fine at first but I took it to a Subaru dealership for them to inspect the car and there was a butt load of issues on it. Bushings are bad, timing belt needed to be replaced, leaking head gasket and so on. If I have bought the car I would spend up to $4000 just in repairs. If you you buy a car from there beware they sell lemons and that used car you buy from there will have guaranteed issues the next day. STAY AWAY FROM THERE THEY'RE SCAMMERS. read more

Awesome experience. Zero pressure and very friendly. I do not enjoy visiting dealerships but this was definitely a positive experience. Found our son a nice used car that will hopefully take him through college and beyond. Highly recommend. read more

I am in love with my car! And more so given that the experience of purchasing it was much easier than I imagined with A-1 Carz. I purchased a 2014 Hyundai Tucson and had it inspected after, with no probs. Albert is genuine, super helpful, and even made suggestions to help me find a better rate than with my credit union. I walked out a few days later with the car I wanted at a lesser price than what I thought I'd pay, an extra key he made, and new tires that he had installed. Thanks so much Albert!!! read more

Thank you A1 Carz! We searched for so long and after almost giving up we stopped into A1 and I was blown away by the excellent customer service, knowledge and just comfort that the team here provided us. We bought a 2007 Acura MDX and I love it! If you're looking for a car go see them! read more

Can't say enough good things about this place. I had been looking for a very particular truck and not only did A1 have it, they were the only ones who worked with me after being turned down at multiple other dealers due to my trade in. The truck I got is in great condition and I'm very happy with the service they provided for me. They returned calls quickly and everyone there is nice. I'd recommend A1 Carz to anyone I know looking for a new vehicle! read more

I just bought a car from them today and the service was excellent! Albert treats you like family , no pressure in to buying ! made buying a car easy ! read more

We purchased a 2007 Lexus ES 350 in January and it has been a great car. A1 carz worked hard to fit our needs, and got us into a great car at a price we could afford. Our salesman wasn't pushy and Sunny the sales manager was amazing he got us decent interest rate. Friendly people and Great customer service. I recommend this dealer. read more

When I contacted this company June 1, 2019, I spoke with Albert, a sales rep for the company. I stated that I wanted a car my disabled mother would rely upon for transportation, specifically stating I didn't want something breaking down on her leaving her stranded on the side of the road, especially in 100 plus degree weather. Upon further discussion, he stated that the 2005 Honda Civic that I was interested in was unquestionably reliable and had been kept up on maintenance. I proceeded to make arrangements to buy it and have it transported up to her residence for her birthday on June 6th. Not two weeks later, she's calling me broken down on the road, being towed to a local mechanic because a coil went out. Contacted Albert, whom stated he would make it right and never did. Once that was paid for out of my pocket, and less than a week later, she's broken down again on the freeway in the middle of summer. Come to find out, the car is devoid of all fluids! This time indicates that the car was never serviced by them! Also, this means even more mechanical damage as in a cracked block and complete motor replacement! I've been sold a lemon and am extremely upset that my mother and I have been lied to! Kim Briggs read more

My wife and I went in looking for a first car for our son. Albert met us and showed us a Scion that we liked. We couldn't agree on price, but felt Albert was being very straight with us. Genuinely a nice person and seems very trustworthy. We ended up back a couple weeks later and Albert was just as nice and straight forward with us. The experience was a great one and we ended up agreeing on a price this time. If you're in the market for a used car, Albert will take care of you and make you feel good about dealing with them. Thank you Albert! read more

Horrible place to buy a car from first of all they sold me a car with a bad engine and lied to me saying the car had no problems when they know it did I went to return my car a week later and they made me sell it back to them so they wouldn't have to give me my 1500 down payment back when it was suppose to be a return they were getting loud and yelling getting in my husbands face very unprofessional and that was the only option I had to return the car if your thinking about buy a car trust me this place is not trustworthy at all take your money your loan you can do that anywhere and RUN they will rip you off and cheat and steal from you they should be sued and I am having my case reviewed by a lawyer because it clearly says in text it'll be a return and when I got there they made me sign that I sold them the car for x amount so I wouldn't be able to get my down payment back and I only had the car for 1 week there are so many laws they broke DO NOT BUY UNTRUSTWORTHY!!!!! All there cars are lemons so beware will work fine at first but has so many engine and other issues they don't tell you and it's illegal for restocking fee to be 1500 that's why they made it seem like I sold the car back to them read more

This business is great. Sonny is a total boss and the employees are awesome. I bought and financed a 2009 Toyota Corolla from here that looks great but had a few unforeseen problems (old belt & tires) which I didn't notice when I bought the vehicle. Sonny took care of my tires for me without question and he was absolutely professional about the situation, if I were to recommend a dealership, I would do well to recommend A1 Carz on albatross, because I would know they would take care of anybody. They took great care of me. Thanks for the car! read more

Quick easy and simple! Awesome buy and great services all around all stars.

The seller is arrogant and high price. Seems suspicious too. Told us the car is in good condition when it's not.

Literally the best used car dealership out there. Such great people working there, they were so nice and negotiated a great price with me. They also continued to follow up after I left with the car in regards to how it was running and how I liked it which made me even more comfortable with my purchase. My bank loan took longer than hoped to finalize and they were understanding and even allowed me to leave with the car with just a deposit down while we waited for my bank to process the loan. Needless to say, I got a wonderful car at a great price and would 100% buy from them again. read more

This guy sold me a 2002 Subaru outback and 2 months later we had to have the engine, Transmission, catalytic converter, and the entire exhaust system replaced. This guy's is just trying to scam you, don't buy anything here. read more

Buyer beware. Everything they told us they had done to the car was untrue. 2 different mechanics commented on the poor work done. Basically covered up poor mechanics to make the sale. Also we had to call 5 or more times to get our tags. Terrible. read more

Just drove my son's car home and so excited! We got a great deal on a super nice vehicle ...

Tryed to inquire about a car. They acted like we were bothering them. Have the same car for over 2 months. They claimed its been sold for the past 2 months yet they still keep advertising it. Tryna pull a bait and switch. Stay away. They are crooks and need to be locked up. Liars and thieves a1 carz is in sacramento read more

Purchased a 2005 Toyota Camry for my son, and Sunny was fantastic! !! He made sure my contract was to my liking, got me the lowest premium. Anything wrong with car, he will fix it! I highly recommend him, and will go back for my second car read more

So glad I found this place! I had been looking for a nice family car for weeks when I came across this place. At all other dealerships I was tired of being chased around the the sales staff and not able to just look around myself and see what I liked. This place was amazing! The sales man was great! After greeting me he allowed me to browse the cars at my own pace and was always there when I had any questions or concerns, I didn't feel over whelmed by the fact that I was being forcefully convinced to buy this car or that. In the end I found the perfect vehicle and the process was short and easy. Everything was done in a timely manner. I recommend this place to everyone. HUGE VARIETY of vehicles and AMAZING customer service! read more

This place is nothing but a bunch of schemers trying to get whatever off their lot. At first glance, you will see many attractive looking cars, but you will only find that once you leave the lot 3 weeks later the car you spent way too much money on in the first place ( $5500 for a 2002 Honda Civic with 150,000 miles) - has a blown head gasket and now I'm having issues with the catalytic converter . Seriously, and when I told the owner he hangs up on me mid-conversation and I could not get a hold of him after, until I bombarded his cell phone. At which point he told me, that since I purchased the car and its' off the lot there is nothing he can do for me. Okay, I am a broke college student, who spent my whole savings on this car, and he wants and cares nothing to do with helping me on the lemon of a car he sold. Then, after bugging him again he agreed to helping "20% only if I go to HIS mechanic" who his mechanic is the one who passed the car only with an inspection saying it was okay, why would I want to go to him? Anyways, I ended up getting it fixed for $700, which was the best deal I could find. I am still left with the catalytic converter issues ( another $500) so I have spent $6700 on an old car. DO NOT go here, the owner does not give two shits. Horrible business. *** DO however go to Delta Auto Sales he ACTUALLY cares about his customers. read more

Don't be fooled by the no frills location! Sunny and his guys are great and provide a good used car at a fair, no haggle price. We bought a 2003 Mitsubishi Eclipse over 5 years ago and it is still a great little car at 120,000 miles now! Had to do some usual maintenance on a car of this age last year ( new clutch on the manual transmission and had to replace one of two the catalytic converters were the most major repairs and we did the cat). Sunny even installed new brake pads and rotors, and tires when I had concerns about them when we were buying. I would not hesitate to recommend to everyone and/or buy another car from him. read more

The day after buying my vehicle, had I written a review then, it would have been 5-stars. Albert was extremely helpful and I did not feel I was being pressured at all. Unfortunately, 2.5 weeks after buying my vehicle, my head gasket blew and now a sweet deal has turned into financial ruin. When I look back on my process of buying the car, I realize that they knew the vehicle was faulty. As I was opening my car door to drive away from A1, Albert said, "Oh yeah, and we didn't change the oil, you'll want to do that soon." I should have backed out and torn up the contract then. As a previous auto-glass technician that worked for used-car lots, I know that oil changes are one of the first things that are completed by car lots. If they hadn't done it, it was either complete incompetence or they simply didn't want to expose that they knew there was a problem at all. There were other shady business practices displayed that day from A1, including talking badly on other car-lots nearby, telling me that to drive the vehicle to my auto-shop would go against their insurance coverage, and even possibly pocketing $400 of my down payment while telling me to lie to my lenders about my total down-payment in order to cover a "fee" that I never received a confirmation for. I recommend that no one spends a dime there. A1 Carz is a terrible, untrustworthy company. read more

I purchased a 2008 Lexus IS250 from Sonny and Ali last month. The car looked great in pictures and online. The price was one of the lowest, especially for a Lexus IS, in a 500 mile radius...so I was optimistic I might get a good deal. When you drive up to their shop, it doesn't look like much....but remember, "QUALITY" first, and "don't judge a book by its cover"! I was motivated to buy, and I had my finances and money in order, so it was only a matter of agreeing on price. I was pleasantly surprised that Sonny and Ali really do care about my business and bent over backwards to try and accommodate me. After a little back and forth, they came down even further (on a good price). In no time, I was out driving a beautiful Lexus! The service I got was great and I felt like I got a fantastic deal. Sonny is now looking for a Truck for me, and I hope to buy from him again in the next month. Give A1 Carz and Sonny a fair look...you won't be disappointed! read more

Lie that car comes with 30 day powertrain warranty after I bought it about a 4 days check engine came on brought back and they refuse to fix or return money read more

After doing my homework from FLORIDA and lining up appointments to buy my HS grad her first car, I flew into SAC and hit the ground running with test driving cars for her. ALBERT at A1 CARZ is absolutely AMAZING. We needed to look no further once we met Albert and it was clear that he truly wanted the same thing that I was looking for and that was to put my granddaughter in a SAFE vehicle. He kept us within budget and got her into a reliable, safe, and clean auto. We heard a little noise the next day, and he immediately found the minor issue and fixing it without hesitation. This guy {ALBERT} "gets it" and his genuine heart sheds a beautiful light on the stigma that many of us think about used car dealers. It was because of his reviews that I went there in the first place and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable used car. Thanks for everything Albert. We will definitely go back when the time to buy again presents itself. read more
