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.

See all

We were communicating while he was out of town and I would have gladly bought a car from him. Instead I bought a car from somebody who will say is just basically I got screwed. And Chris is going out of his way to help me even though we have never done business. That is such a rare quality that I can only hope that anybody with enough sense would see this and buy a car from him. He has been overwhelmingly supportive, offered his help as best he can wherever he can, and even stayed in touch just talking back and forth about how badly things have turned on for me with the purchase of the car I made from somebody on Craigslist who is also a wholesaler kind of guy. Anyway five stars aren't enough. I'm sure whatever products he have or quality products. But beyond that the integrity, the kindness, the actual caring far beyond what must anyone would be used to or think possible. In fact I'm trying to find a way to get rid of or get out of what I bought and get something from him. I begun telling everybody about him. Anybody looking for a car. Again what an incredibly beyond professional professional doesn't describe it because he's beyond professional what an incredibly kind thoughtful and helpful human being

I did and ours is still running fine.

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

But, in a market where cars are in high demand, supply is drastically low, and are selling for $10k+ over MSRP... thats as good as it gets. We were referred to Arkady through a friend. Hubby has a long history in retail sales, so the car buying experience has always been... eventful, as everyone knows. But now with 2 toddlers in tow, we weren't able to dedicate the months-long research, wheeling and dealing, and multiple dealership trips all over the Bay Area to get what we wanted. So we decided to give Arkady a try. We told Arkady what we wanted. SPECIFICALLY what we wanted. Down to the T. A brand new Platinum Highlander Hybrid in Pearly White. A special order color, in a very sought after trim level and combination. Arkady looked and found us a few, but we weren't ready yet. So we waited. And the aftermath of COVID was in full affect. The dreaded chip shortage. Dealer lots were empty, cars were being bought up like no other, and the market is now flooded with buyers willing to pay top dollar from a supply pool that would disappear with a sneeze. Unfortunately for us, we just couldn't afford to battle with ballers, so we waited, hoping Arkady could find us a deal. Luckily, Arkady was able to place us an order with the Toyota Factory for our specific car, in our specific trim. We waited a few weeks, putting our trust in Arkady, and we finally got the call. The vehicle had landed and was ready for us. Everything we wanted, as we had requested. Even in this market, he was able to get us below the MSRP, which is absolutely mind blowing. He promised, and delivered in spades. His cost of service is worth its weight in gold. The process was painless. He was prompt with his communication and was always straight forward. On delivery day, we met at his office and spent no more than 15 minutes doing paperwork.... to buy a car... that was tailor made to our specification.... at a deal we were more than happy with... We cannot emphasize at how valuable his services were to us, and our family thanks him greatly. Remember the kids? They didn't even have time to even THINK about throwing a tantrum before they were buckled up in the new car and we were on our way. Arkady runs a no-joke, no-frills, get-it-done business. He saved us a lot of time, stress, and yes, money during the car buying process, and has a customer for life. Thank you, Arkady, for all that you've done!

The entire process was also incredibly quick and efficient. From signing the contract to picking up the car, everything took less than 30 minutes.

He also does window tint and PPF at his company, and all of this was completed before I picked up the car. He's honest, professional, and very easy to work with. Next time we buy or lease another car--no matter the brand--I'll definitely go back to Steven. Highly recommended!

Steven is honest, straightforward, and very easy to work with. He doesn't pressure you or waste your time. One of the biggest advantages is that he can even deliver the car directly to your home, which saves so much time compared with spending hours sitting at a dealership. After buying three cars from Steven, I can confidently say that his service, pricing, and overall experience are better than any other dealer I've worked with. Highly recommend Steven to anyone looking for a smooth, honest, and hassle-free car-buying experience!
