I came in earlier today for a smog check. The employee, Melvin, was pleasant and helpful. I also happen to overhear a conversation between Melvin and another customer. The gentleman had some very unreasonable demands however, Melvin stayed calm and assisted him as best as he could. I was able to use the $50 smog check coupon I received in the mail. The Smog Check itself was incredibly fast and I was in and out within 15 minutes. Great value and fast service. Highly recommend! I will be back to support this local small business.

If Yelp allowed negative stars, this place would earn them…read more I waited over 1 hour because they didn't even have the correct filter for the vehicle ahead of me. Instead of informing customers or managing the delay professionally, they continued servicing cars in the other lane while I sat there with zero communication. No update. No transparency. No basic courtesy. That alone is poor management. What happened next was worse. When I asked about the delay, a staff member named Mike came over with an immediate attitude. There was no apology. No attempt to take ownership. His solution was to tell me to leave if I didn't like it. That's not customer service -- that's arrogance. Telling a paying customer to leave because they asked a reasonable question about a 30+ minute delay is unacceptable. It shows a complete lack of training, leadership, and professionalism. I had my 4-year-old son with me and chose to stay calm because I refuse to model bad behavior in front of my child. Unfortunately, the staff member had no such restraint. This business doesn't just have poor service -- it has a culture problem. When employees feel comfortable being openly disrespectful instead of resolving issues, that reflects ownership and management. There are far too many reputable shops that actually value customers to tolerate this kind of treatment. Avoid this place unless you're comfortable being ignored and then told to leave for speaking up

Overall, my car-buying experience here was quick and straightforward. I was at the dealership for…read moreabout two hours total, with the longest wait being for the car to be detailed and gassed up. Negotiating the price was simple, and I appreciated working with Hamid Hassan. Final paperwork took about 20 minutes, and communication before the purchase was great. Unfortunately, communication after the sale has been very limited. Within two days of purchase, I noticed a braking issue where the car would shake at speeds around 25 mph, which raised safety concerns. I contacted the dealership less than a week after purchase and explained that the front brake rotors needed replacement. I was told I would need to speak with a manager regarding reimbursement, but that never happened. I replaced the front rotors myself within a week of owning the car @ a cost of $380 due to the safety concern. Despite multiple calls and emails over the past month, I have not received a response. The lack of follow-up on a safety-related issue has been disappointing. AP

They charged me close to $1000 for my first service for my Bronco with 7000 miles on it. The Ford recommended service was ~$150, they added on about $800 worth of completely unnecessary dealer service items. I asked them to keep the filters so I could inspect them, and as I suspected, they were very clean and didn't need replacing. There were a bunch of other such completely unnecessary work done. Will never be going back to Livermore Ford.

Owning a Porsche 911 has always been at the top of my life bucket list, and it took quite some time to make it happen, from patiently searching for the perfect one I had always dreamed of, to finally finding this little monster. Vlad was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and patient throughout the entire process, and always made himself available every step of the way. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to find this car and to work with Vlad and the team. I highly recommend Porsche Livermore to any future owners. What I thought might take much longer was made possible here, and the entire experience was smooth, professional, and genuinely enjoyable.

I've purchased multiple new Porsches from this dealership & loyalty will get you nowhere with Porsche Livermore. The service department even managed to damage my brand new 911 during a PPF install. Leaving knife cuts directly in the paint across the entire front end. I had hoped things were improving under the new ownership group & gave them the benefit of the doubt... but nothing has changed. I continue to get the runaround, and I'm exhausted by the games the dealership will play with customers who genuinely care about the Porsche brand. I own aircooled 911s, and sadly the best era of Porsche feels long gone. What was once about engineering and passion now seems driven by shareholder value and squeezing every last dollar from customers. I strongly recommend taking your business to a more reputable Porsche dealership.

I don't think he was being malicious, and as I stated earlier, he was understaffed that day - but competence is paramount when I am paying full value for a service.
