Technicians -- Do NOT perform a full inspection. The top gasket leak was previously repaired by the Chevy dealership few months ago.
Md B.

I had some doubts, so I called my friend Abraham--who has been a mechanic for over 20 years--for a second opinion. He did a full diagnostic on my 2014 Camaro LT this Thursday because my instincts told me something wasn't right. This location had my vehicle for 24 hours and charged me $1,100 for replacing spark plugs, repairing the back side-marker wiring, and replacing the license plate bulb, yet did not provide any 24pt. inspection report or reset the the system after repairs completed for the issues. I was also given a $2,300 estimate to repair the automatic roof, even though there was no issues with the opening or closing of the roof. Most importantly, you expect honesty from the technician working on your vehicle, but there should NEVER have been a gasket leaking issue in the first place--especially considering the recent work done by the dealership and screws missing in the back of the engine. Please be honest to your customers relying on your technicians & dealership to maintain higher standards of safety & services.

I was dreading engaging engaging with car salesmen but this business is different. Felt very above professional and above board end to end. Great communications overall and great purchasing experience. Nelson is awesome.

This has been the best hands down the best experience with a car salesperson. We've walked out of many dealerships because they tell you one thing then it's something different at the end. I was very skeptical when my husband told me about the deals and made a bet with him that it was going to be like all the others. I know most of us don't enjoy dealing with salespeople but I'm pleasantly surprised and impressed with Jason, he gave off awesome honesty vibes and he came through for us. The deal was even better in person than was told on the phone. Well, that was a first and opposite that previous experiences. We purchased a 2024 Chevy Blazer EV. I cannot begin to say what an absolute redeeming experience this has been. Please go to Chevrolet Capitol and see Jason Cardenas if you're in the market for a great purchasing experience and great deals.

Texts from Andrew the sales manager.

TL;DR Lazy and unpleasant customer service, incompetent (don't know how to conduct an out of state sale), rude, passive, and will ghost you. Go to any non-DGDG owned dealership anywhere else and you're guaranteed a better experience. I've had several bad experiences with all of the DGDG owned car dealerships along Capitol Expressway. The Chevrolet dealership in particular has especially poor customer service. They refuse to sell a car to anyone who plans to register out of state. Doesn't matter if you live in CA now but are moving and so want to register it elsewhere or if you're an out of state buyer. They will not sell to you. This is what happened to me. I saw a Camaro for my dad who wanted to buy out of state. I was told while I was there that they don't usually do out of state sales because it takes so long to get the paperwork done "and it's not a good customer experience." I told them we've done out of state buys many times before, we know what to expect, and we do not want the paperwork to be the reason they won't sell us the car. After seeing the car, I actually got ahold of the sales manager Andrew who said he WOULD make an exception and sell the car to us. But after three weeks and several phone calls from both me and my dad, multiple voicemails, and partially unanswered texts, Andrew ghosted me (see screenshots). I have called repeatedly since the texts in the photos to no avail. You can see in the texts how I've been strung along as if they're willing to sell the Camaro to us but they won't actually start the process. I wish I could say I'm surprised. I'm not. I have a Buick and have had the disappointing experience of getting it serviced at DGDG's Buick location before. They always try to overcharge for services, lie about what my car needs, and create a very unpleasant customer experience. They truly do not care to put in a little extra effort to sell a car because I'll register it out of state. Sounds to me like they just don't put in the effort to train their staff on how to do an out of state sale.

Check engine light
Michellle M.

I went into this dealership, so excited to look at this car that I found on car guru everything was going good super excited until two days later my check engine light comes on. I reach out to Jason Cardenas the one who sold me the car told me to come back. They took care of that problem. Then my check engine light turns on two days later and my battery is completely shot alternator out. Jason Cardenas does not reach out to me. I pay for a warranty on the car thinking it was gonna cover everything as he mentioned to me or I didn't need to pay it as you know it's optional to pay for warranty come to find out the warranty does not cover anything that has to do with check engine now I'm a mom of four kids trying to figure out how I'm gonna take care of this car fix it and continue making the monthly payments. Worst experience at this dealership ever Jason Cardenas should not be allowed to sell cars when all he does is lie to the customers and when I try to reach out for help completely ignores. Within two weeks nothing but problems with the car. I haven't even had it a full month and problems. Continue to happen.

I found it quickly. It was unlocked so I was able to sit in it and inspect it closely. Shane and another sales associate were inside the building. They both greeted me and welcomed me to the store. He got the keys for me and let me take it for a test drive. Upon return I decided to purchase the car. I had been looking EVERYWHERE for a affordable Honda Civic in good condition. We negotiated and agreed on a price and made the deal. I had a unique situation; I live in Stockton and had no way to get the car home that day. He allowed me to keep it on the lot until the next morning. Shane and his team are not stereotypical sleaze bag used car salesmen. Customer service and a welcoming atmosphere are a priority at The Car Store San Jose. They've been in business since '77 for a reason. They suit all budgets and I will be recommending The Car Store to my friends. 5/5 Stars

This is a family owned business and it shows in the way they treat their customers. When you buy from Slipstream, you are buying from the owners themselves, Nathan, Val, and Darwin. Nathan addressed all my concerns when shopping for a reliable car for my daughter. He listened to my input and asked relevant questions to understand our needs and meet them. The buying process itself was quick and problem-free. Nathan was flexible and met me at the office after hours to sign the papers. I highly recommend Nathan at SS to anyone looking for a quality used car without the "used car" sales routine. She's been driving the car for two years now and it continues to be a reliable and good looking ride. Thank you to the team at SS Motors for being honest brokers.

Well i had someone drive me from Livermore to San Jose just in case i did walkaway with the car since those were my intentions. Their site says they open at 10 am. we got there at 10:30 and the gates were still locked. so i called to make sure they were indeed open. The guy on the phone said Yes,and that the person opening up would be there soon, but that he was running late. That he had already spoken to him saying he was definitely on his way there it would only take ten minutes. So i waited, and waited. then i called again at 10:50 and again he said only five more minutes, to just wait. Well of course i waited i drove all the way over here, i wasn't just going to walk away. i even walked to car lot across the street and tooka look at those used cars. Then 11:15 or so came around and still nothing. and they have yet to call back to apologize or anything. Great reviews, i was hoping i would walk away with a cute new little car, but the level of professionalism and disrespect just made me turn away. i guess ill keep searching for a new car somewhere else.

This is one of the worst-operated businesses I have ever dealt with. We had the unfortunate…read moreexperience of having to visit this location not once, not twice, but three separate times because of repeated errors and negligence by the staff. On our first visit, we dealt with Juan, who is apparently a manager at this location--which, based on our experience, doesn't seem to mean much here. Juan told us that we only needed one legal document signed and provided no clear instructions on how the paperwork needed to be completed or signed. When we returned for the second time, we learned that Juan was actually supposed to provide us with an entire packet of documents and instructions necessary to complete the sale. Because we had not been given the correct information the first time, we were denied the ability to sell the vehicle yet again. Not only did this waste a significant amount of our time, but the delay also caused our original vehicle appraisal/offer to expire. That led to a third trip to this location, where we then had to spend another two hours having the vehicle reappraised and going through the entire selling process all over again--all because the process was mishandled from the beginning. The lack of communication, attention to detail, and accountability at this location was incredibly frustrating. You would expect significantly more competence from someone in a management position, but unfortunately that was not our experience. I would strongly recommend avoiding this particular CarMax if possible. Based on our experience, I would choose virtually any other CarMax location over this one.

The best car buying experience I have ever had by far! Entire process from initial contact to…read morereceiving my car was frictionless and effortless. Excellent communication, service, and timely replies. I received a significant discount on the OTD price, even when including the BuySide Auto fee. On top of that, I NEVER had to step into a dealership, talk to a salesperson directly, spend hours playing the "let me ask my manager" game, or have to talk to a Finance manager and repeatedly say NO to unnecessary options. All communication was easily done through email and text, although phone and in-person contact was also available. Process starts with completing a convenient online request. From there, Kim contacted me to fully understand my wishlist, range of optional requirements, and any non-negotiables. After reaching out to their dealer network, within a day she provided a list of potential matches with estimated OTD prices, which included some in SoCal available for transfer to the Bay Area and cars still in production with estimated availability dates. I had a lot of questions and some requests and Kim was very responsive and instrumental in relaying them to the dealer and advocating for me. Even my request to remove all dealer installed options was negotiated by Kim and granted by the dealer with no hassle on my end. I paid the BuySide Auto fee to reserve the car for purchase and when the car was available I opted to pickup at their office in SF. Home delivery to SF is also currently no charge, while delivery outside of the city is available with a modest fee. Upon first contact, I asked if weekend pickup or delivery was available, since their normal hours are on weekdays. Kim made note of it and remembered my preference even after the sale was completed. Chris was able to make himself available for Saturday pickup! We took a walk around the car took a look inside. We spent no more than 10 minutes reviewing and signing paperwork, received my keys, and I was off with my brand new car! Both Kim and Chris were great to work with and I have no hesitation in working with them again for future car purchases.
