DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE!!!!! THE GOOD REVIEWS ARE FAKE. They sold us a car, Ali seemed trustworthy. In the contract/disclosure they write that everything they say to you cannot be taken seriously and can not be taken to court (because they are lying) The cars engine completely broke down within a week of purchasing it. It's clear they tried to cover things up. They completely deny anything (saying we did smth to it) and now we have to go to court, as well as pay tons of money out of pocket. DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE STAY AWAY!! As you can see several people have had the same exact issues throughout several years. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. Stay as far away from this place as possible. This has been the worst car buying experience I've ever had, and the worst review for any company I've ever posted in my life! Ali appears to be nice and trustworthy but he is not. He sold me a 2011 Subaru Forester with a bad engine gasket and a broken axel. Three mechanics clarified this right after I bought it. I am now stuck with a car that I have to go thousands of dollars out of pocket to fix. Thank you so much for all the time and money you've taken from me, American Motors. read more

These people are not to be trusted, they hide the poor condition the car is in and don't disclose any issues you will have to spend money on to fix. Your car will break down in a month read more

Great selection of cars and excellent customer service. Ali was helpful and very informative. Very honest dealership!

Be careful doing business with Ali. This is a shady shady business. He had me come 60 miles and the car previously did not display defective pictures for the car. He is a shady shady business owner. React as if they are a big large beautiful dealership they are not their dealership of 2 to 3 people with old cars and a waste of your time. They are shady. Remember shady. I am very very disappointed. They don't care about customers. read more

A real diamond in the rough--but a diamond still. The truthfulness and honesty from Mr. Ali is greatly appreciated. A good place to do business. read more

Easygoing staff. They made the sales easy and felt no pressure at all. Ali is the man to talk to. Quality cars and he's been doing it for awhile! read more

I came here on a listing they had put online on Autotrader.com. It was quite a different experience than I am usually used to with car dealerships and aggressive sales staff. I believe Samir was the name of the associate that helped me out, I told him what car I was here to see and he got the keys, pulled the car out, and then totally stepped back to give me my space to do my all around inspection of the car. I really appreciated that he gave me all the time I needed to check everything out until I was ready to start asking all my questions, all of which he was happy to answer. Listed pricing of my car was very competitive, within Kelley Blue Book values, and came with a clean CarFax report. The paper work process was a breeze and the fastest purchase I've ever made from beginning to end. If you've purchase at major dealerships, you know what I'm talking about. Just the paperwork will take you half the day. Overall it was a great car buying experience and am glad I gave American Motors a chance to do business with me. read more

Excellent!!!! I was online and needed an affordable car that was nice to work in for my new sales job. My credit isn't the best and I had a specific budget and type of car I was interested in. American Motors had what I needed, I stopped by, and test drove the car and applied online thru their website. American Motors did all they could to keep me in my range and found a finance company that would help me, by the afternoon. Test Drove @ Noon drove home at 5:30 pm the same day. NOW THAT IS SOME GOOD SERVICE!!!!! Great job guys!!!! read more

I live in San Diego and I was searching for a late model Mini Cooper Clubman. I came across a beautiful Mini at a great price. I messaged American Motors though the website and a short time later Ali reached out to me. The next morning he called me again and I agreed to drive up to Stanton. When I got there I was very impressed with the quality of his cars on the lot. I drove the car and loved it. I had a trade in and Ali agreed to give me what Cramax offered me. Then Ali arranged financing for me at a local credit union. Everything he did in the deal was for my benefit. This was the best used car experiences I ever had. read more

On 11/19 Ali texted me requesting that I send him $134 via Cash App, Venmo, or Apple Pay for registration fees. (Mind you, I paid for my car in May. My car was registered in August. It is now November. Therefore, it seems like he is mad about the negative Yelp review and is attempting to retaliate against me.) Nonetheless, what Ali is attempting to do is UNPROFESSIONAL and ILLEGAL. First an foremost, the appropriate and professional way to request money from a customer is via an itemized invoice. NOT through a text message. Additionally, any charges should be accepted via a legit method (i.e. cash, credit, check, or money order -- not through a Peer-to-Peer payment app!) Secondly, and most importantly, American Motor's/Ali's attempt to collect the difference in registration fees is in my opinion, ILLEGAL. Here's why: The difference in registration fees was caused by a DMV late fee. The late fee was accrued through untimely submission of fees and documents by the dealer. When I purchased the car in May, the May 2020 tags were either already expired or were about to expire. American Motors SHOULD HAVE submitted the DMV registration paperwork immediately to avoid fees/penalties, but they didn't. Instead they waited until AUGUST to register my car. Now they are attempting to pass down the fee penalty to me. Below are the following laws that I believe American Motors has broken: Per Cal. Veh. Code §4456 (a)(2) "If the vehicle is used, the dealership has 30 days from the date of the sale to submit the registration application, which must be accompanied by all fees and penalties due for registration or transfer of registration. Penalties due for noncompliance are to be paid by the dealership, and THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT CHARGE THE PURCHASER FOR THE PENALTIES." Per Cal. Veh. Code § 5753(c)(1). "The dealership must turn over the title to the vehicle no later than 15 business days after the dealership has received full payment for the vehicle. The payment can be made by the buyer or the buyer's bank. The dealership must mail, transfer, or deliver the title to the buyer who is lawfully entitled to transfer of ownership." Per Cal. Veh. Code §2982 (a)(2) "Dealers and lessor-retailers are responsible for itemizing and collecting the proper fee amounts from the buyer and dispersing the fees to the proper agency....Buyers may be charged all fees due to DMV, including fees for duplicates/substitutes and fees/penalties that accrued prior to the vehicle entering the dealer inventory, UNLESS THOSE FEES/PENALTIES ACCRUED THROUGH UNTIMELY SUBMISSION OF FEES AND/OR DOCUMENTS BY THE DEALER." That being said, now that Ali is requeting $134 from me, I have opened up yet another BBB complaint, and have reported American Motors to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) (for attempting to collect on a debt that is not legally owed to them), the Department of Consumer Affairs (DCA), and to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Furthermore, I have contacted a lawyer who has stated, "You are responsible to pay the amount required to renew or transfer the registration. However, you are not responsible for any penalty amounts." read more

Worst experience ever DO NOT BUY from these people Ali is a con purchased a vehicle Audi Q5 in March 2020 two weeks exactly it started to leak oil. Called Ali had me take it to his mechanic his own mechanic told me the car had turbo issues and was burning oil. I let Ali know this and all he had to say it is a used car. Which I agree that sometimes you buy a car with the dealer not knowing what is all wrong. But in this case the oil leak had to have been known and the fact that the car was burning engine oil is also something he had to of known about. Long story short the car is now non operable. Needs a new engine. After it's been in the shop 3 other times since I bought it now. The engine needs to be replaced. I've always bought cars from used dealerships. Never an experience like this. The most dishonest people. I don't wish anyone this experience I intend to file a case with BBB read more

I did most of my car buying research online, before I ever arrived at the dealership. I knew I wanted a Fiat and American Motors had two at reasonable prices. My emails were answered in a timely manner, my questions answered to my satisfaction. I arrived at the dealership thinking I wanted the yellow Fiat. (It's really cute and has a sun roof.) A picture of my driver's license was taken and the keys given for an immediate test drive, alone! Who does that in this day and age? It felt nice to be trusted by a stranger. These guys were very kind, considerate and helpful. While waiting for paperwork to go through, I returned home but could not get the green Fiat out of my mind. The next morning, I offered a cash price, on the green car, it was politely declined. Their prices are fair and so rock-bottom, I don't blame them for not coming down on the price but I had to ask. So, I went back and purchased the green Fiat for cash. My car was washed and prepped while I waited for the paperwork to be finished. These guys are great! Social distancing and the customer's comfort are a priority here. It's a small place, but if you are looking for a great car at a fair price - check these folks first. A stranger is simply a friend you haven't met yet. read more

I was specifically shopping for a used Leaf with a full 12-bars of battery life. American Motors provided a free CarFax report, a promising sign that there is nothing to hide in the car's history. I was happy the Leaf that American Motors advertised online looked exactly the same on their lot. Used cars are more scarce than a few years ago, but in comparison shopping with several other dealers, American offered a relatively excellent value. I encountered many dealers who did not include a photo of the Leaf's battery life, and who did not return phone or email inquiries. American was transparent in representing the car's outstanding condition and prompt in contacting me. Both the salesmen working there were knowledgeable, polite, and experienced in completing car sale documents and registration, making my purchase as simple as possible. They also sent a digital copy of all the forms to me for my records. I love my new gently-used Leaf, and highly recommend American Motors of Fullerton. read more

Was looking at a 2005 PT Cruiser they have for sale at a good price. I took it to a shop down the street for inspection before buying and they found loads of problems. The shop wiped down the engine with armor all to hide the fact that the oil is badly leaking. They unplugged the battery to reset the computer so the check engine light wouldn't be on. Problems would've costed several thousand to fix, and the car would've broken down very shortly after purchase if those issues weren't taken care of. A huge waste of time and money. These guys will smile, shake your hand, and lie to your face. But from somewhere else, or at least get any car you buy from them professionally inspected before. read more

I wanted to Yelp about my experience with American Motors. I purchased an SUV cash with all fees included or so I thought... First, I purchased the SUV on August 22, 2020 and today is November 10, 2020. I have not received my vehicle registration or tags. I am driving around with expired tags or it seems so. I had to call several times about my car registration, they washed their hands of this and just said "call Carmen our DMV liaison." I called Carmen on October 16, 2020 and my car after 2 months had NOT been registered yet. I felt as if this was outrageous and extremely unprofessional. I received confirmation October 28, 2020 that my car was registered however I still do not have my registration documents or tags. Then, I received a text message today from American Motors charging me the difference for the (DMV registration fees). I have purchased cars in the past and have never been charged the difference. I bought this car cash with all fees included. I told them I was not going to pay the difference, we agreed on a price and I paid my fees completely. Ali then went head and threatened me with "I will send you to collections." This has been a bad experience on my end, this is not how you should do business. Donna read more

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE (CALLED AFTER CAR VIEWING) This idiot who's name might be Amin kept on calling me while I was at work to complain to me about a review I didn't leave. I finally answered his call only for him to yell at me and tell me about a review he received about himself. I didn't even leave the review! He decided to YELL to me about it. I DIDN'T EVEN LEAVE THAT REVIEW and he KNEW it wasn't my review because that wasn't even my name and when I answered I told him it was me and he STILL kept on yelling about it. Super UNPROFESSIONAL and DISRESPECTFUL. I literally had to block his number because he wouldn't STOP HARASSING me for something I didn't do. I hope he gets fired for harassment. read more

WORST DEALERSHIP EVER! This guy literally tried selling us a broken car! He showed us the 2012 teal Ford Focus we wanted and told us it had just been inspected thoroughly and it was in perfect condition but the transmission makes a funny noise sometimes but his mechanic said it was perfectly normal for that model. We took it for a test drive and had it inspected by a mechanic down the street and turns out the transmission was completely done for! We then went back and showed him the error message in the vehicle dashboard coming from it's own computer and he decided to lie to us and change his story stating he knew it was messed up! I told him there's no way it's legal he could sell me a car that isn't going to make it home and he started yelling at me saying that he could and that other people have done the exact same thing we just did and we're quoted way higher than $3,000 for a new transmission! I still tried to make an offer asking him to deduct atleast 2/3rds or at least half of the cost of replacing it with a used transmission which would've been $1,500 discount and he argued that he would only discount $200! The large middle eastern man was literally spitting in my face and arguing with me! We saw other cars after that one and we notice another for focus in his lot had a broken A/C and wanted to let him know about it, and he angrily yelled at us saying no it wasn't and we don't know anything about cars! Definitely steer clear of this place this guy is literally going to try and rip you off! He will lie through his teeth to try and sell you a broken car! Most rude car dealership I've ever visited! read more

Best dealership in OC. Anyway great upfront and already have bought two cars within 3 years. Fully recomended.

These guys had my back from the moment I walked through the door. I purchased a 2014 Mustang Convertible from the lot. This was my first time financing a car and it wasn't always an easy process, but Amin and everyone else was understanding and helpful until the day I drove the car off the lot. Great guys. read more

My car buying experience was great at American Motors. Ali was extremely helpful and the whole process couldn't have been easier. I found the car online and decided to come by to check it out. I usually stay away from smaller dealerships, but I'm glad I didn't this time. The car was in amazing shape, the interior was spotless, the engine bay was so clean, and everything checked all the boxes I was looking for in a commuter car. I knew I wanted a diesel, and Ali informed me that with the huge diesel scandal, a lot of cars got recalled and have a 4 year 45k mile warranty. I looked this up, searched the VIN on Audi's website, and confirmed this was all correct. There was never any pressure into buying a car, I never felt rushed, and Ali even held the car for me with a deposit because I was closing on my house and needed some time before returning. All in all, great service and great little selection of cars. I'll be sending my friends over if they see a car they like. read more

I loved this place and had a really good experience. I came to test drive the vehicle. They gave me the keys and I drove around the block. I wanted to test drive another vehicle, same process. I also like that they didn't ride in the car with me so that I can really do my own assessment without someone else in my ear. I decided that I wanted the car, there were a couple things that needed to be fixed, such as the door panel and the rear brake light being out. But he has a mechanic around the corner and it got fixed right away. The loan process was super simple and I had zero issues. Would highly recommend, love my crosstour! read more

American Motors is EXCELLENT. I have never ever said that about any car dealer before in my life. They are HONEST, KIND, and NO B*LLSH*T. We were in and out in like 20 minutes. There was no upsell whatsoever. We got an electric Fiat to replace the leased one we just turned in. The Fiat dealer wanted $20k for that car but we bought one here for just under $9k. SAME CAR. SAME MILEAGE. I can't recommend this dealership more!!! read more

These guys are the nicest people ever. The two guys that work there are the sweetest and nicest car business people in the whole world.

I Didnt buy a car from American Motors but I came here twice to test drive a BMW x6 and I left hesitant about the car it self . But twice I received a great, and a friendly welcome from Ali the sales manager (or the owner). Every time we go to a dealership, salesmen pressure and annoy us with so much info to speed up the transaction, and move on. But here they were friendly, patient and more importantly welcoming . This 5 star review is for the service, & Friendly attitude Ali showed us, every time we walked in . Even tho we didn't buy the car. And I must say for a private dealership, they keep a great choice of cars on their lot . Thanks Ali read more

Even though I didn't buy, yet, I'm still giving Ali and his American Motors 5 stars! He was honest, fair and helpful. He was responsive via email and we had a deal set, but I wanted to make sure my wife was 100% good with the vehicle I found at American Motors, but it didn't work for us. Still, this is a good place to buy a good used vehicle at great prices. Thank you, Ali, for working with me. If we decide to move forward, I'll be back:-). read more

Came to this lot particularly to look at a Truck that we found on CarGuru. Both Ali's were helpful and were able to work with us to take it home. We did purchase a 3 year warranty for $2k that covers bumper to bumper ( including engine, transmission and more) .Just to be on the safe side o my because you never know what can go wrong with the vehicle in the future. read more

Great example of an honest no-pressure deal! Ali was great and we drove away with a great deal! What a contrast to the high pressure tactics and hidden fees at the big dealers. Great little lot - highly recommend read more

I was looking for a car for my teenage daughter. I found a VW Beetle, the perfect first car for her, at a reasonable price and extremely clean. I was leery about the purchase because of an experience at one of the major dealerships trying to buy a different used car. This major dealership listed the price in the AutoTrader (a reasonable price), but they added nitrogen to the tires, added a GPS theft recovery system, and a paint protection film. All of their add-on's added an extra $3500 to the advertised price. American Motors did none of these deceptive tactics. The price advertised in the AutoTrader was a fair Blue Book price and the price that they sold the car to me. There was no high pressure, no underhanded/deceptive sales tactics. I would definitely buy another car from them and would wholeheartedly recommend American Motors. read more

Small lot with some really nice cars. Very friendly and the staff is covid safe. Ali didn't budge much on the price (it was already pretty good to begin with), but I still had a positive interaction with this dealership. Highly recommended. A++ read more

(Car is not even a year old yet from them) They put coolant sealer/thickener in the coolant system in my Car to seal a Leak by the heater core. Because of their brilliant quick fix to sell a car.... The inside of my whole coolant system looks like an egg (perhaps that's what they used) My Radiators are only working at 40% capacity and heater core is clogged along with my whole system Please do not trust this sketchy place like I did. (PLUS- They know the guys at the dealerships around so don't bother for a PPI like I did) Thank you American Motors read more

I just drove my new-to-me Fiat 500e home from this small used car dealer. I had been looking for this car for months knowing my lease was ending. The original asking price for the mileage was a superb deal. I drove into Fullerton from San Diego to see it. Ali gave me a break on the price, was willing to work for financing at a payment I could afford. The car was immaculate and so was every other car on the lot. This isn't a typical car dealership with arrogant manipulative salesmen. I highly recommend them. I'm really happy with the car I got and feel great about the entire purchase. read more

Mechanic said don't buy this car numerous problems including motor mounts rusted, air bag off light for passenger seat, cylinder had been pulled off at some point. It was leaking oil. Too many things to mention. Asked the mechanic would you buy this car for your daughter, he said never. So as I said buyer beware! read more
