DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM THIS PLACE…read more They told me everything was fine with the vehicle, but I started noticing problems immediately. The windshield washer fluid system doesn't work, the tire pressure was low, a light bulb was out, and the car shakes at around 65 mph. There is also a whining noise coming from the rear, the wheels vibrate, the transmission slips when slowing down, and the muffler sounds loose or abnormal. I returned to the dealership the very next day--I hadn't even had the car for 24 hours. I had put down a $3,000 deposit, and they kept $700 of it when I brought the vehicle back. In my experience, they were not honest about the condition of the car. I feel misled and would strongly caution others to inspect any vehicle thoroughly before doing business here.

DONT BUY CARS FROM THESE THEIVES. My daughter purchased a…read morecar and was in love with it. It ran so smooth with a clean and perfect engine. Nothing wrong with it at all. the only minor stuff wrong was the tear in the back seat and pealing on the door panel. So the car company agreed to bring it back and they would fix it for her. So we brought it back and she was told to leave it a few days and then by Monday it will be fixed. So by Tuesday she came back to get her car and they took parts off another car to put on her car from under the hood. to top it off they verbally told her that's what they did. She had said from the begining she felt uncomfortable to leave her car that long and the lady said and promised her car to be safe. so don't come here unless you wanna be robbed. I don't know why I had to post a star to get this review out but this really doesn't deserve any stars.

At last! An honest used car salesman!…read more Found a car I was interested in online, and called to see if it was still available and to get a sense of the dealer and the vehicle. Luay spoke with me and I was impressed by his frank appraisal of the car and general attitude. I showed up at 10 AM and Luay was ready with the key and had the car prepped and looking good. This car is a 2016 Honda Fit with just over 98k miles. It has some cosmetic imperfections, as any car that age does. But after a thorough test drive, i felt that this car would serve us well. Luay and I reached a deal quickly, and i drove the car home. I bought this car on the 9th, but wanted to give it some time in case any issues arose. None have, and I am super-pleased with our new vehicle. And even more -- this was one of my best ever dealings with a car dealer. When you're looking for a good used car, give Luay a call. I'm sure you won't be disappointed. I know I wasn't!

This is now the 4th vehicle i've purchased via BuySide Auto/Roadster. Chris Gross is awesome and…read moremakes the process certain, fun, informative and low stress. I just leased a BMW i4 with Chris after sitting through 2 agonizing weeks of terrible follow up from a sales rep at a BMW dealer who couldn't commit on getting a car for me. I didn't argue over price, I said my one criteria was just assure me you get a car quickly for me. No returned phone calls no follow up with me after we agreed on price/terms. Sad. Maybe everyone has hammered dealers for so long for being too aggressive, now they don't seem to really care if they follow up and get a deal done. Weird. Anyway, happy that BuySide Auto exists, is serving their clients well and has been a great partner.

Sadly, the car ended up having a number of problems in the first few weeks after I bought it. I didn't buy the warranty, but Michele kept on fixing everything for me regardless.

Michele and Showcase did everything they could to make things right. They get two thumbs up from me.

UPDATE: Sheriff Demetri, the manager of El Cerrito Honda, is a great guy. He took time to sit down…read moreand talk to me about the problems I was having getting defective material fixed in my Honda. Honda has a District manager named Larry O'Brien. His actions nearly lead to litigation. He denied a claim and refused to provide any substantial evidence to support that decision. If everyone at Honda were like Larry O'Brien, I would never have anything to do with the company. In addition, my contacting the main office in Torrance, California, was one of the most frustrating experiences I've had in a long time. I got such a runaround from them. I'm happy that I decided to go talk to Mr. Demetri. Fortunately, I think the problem will be resolved satisfactory due to him. Because it's not yet finished, I'm only giving four stars. Check back in for an update to see if I'm as enthusiastic in a couple of weeks!

My wife brought our 2019 Honda Accord to El Cerrito Honda for warranty work, not because the car…read moreneeded maintenance. We have a trusted personal mechanic who services all of our vehicles. Instead of simply addressing the warranty issue, the service department tried to upsell several maintenance items, including a coolant flush, automatic transmission fluid (ATF) service, tire rotation, and battery checks. Since our mechanic keeps up with the vehicle's maintenance, these recommendations were unnecessary and left us feeling like they were more interested in selling services than taking care of the customer. To make matters worse, we've repeatedly asked to be removed from their mailing list, yet the promotional mail continues to arrive. It's frustrating that such a simple customer request has been ignored. Honest service and respecting customers' wishes should be standard. Unfortunately, that wasn't our experience, and because of it, we won't be returning.

Sam was friendly from the first phone call, educated me about the market, kept me informed about what cars he had coming soon, and then even acted as my "advisor" when I found the car at another dealer. It's rare to describe a used car dealer as DELIGHTFUL, but Sam is delightful. I highly recommend Sam and Auto import Sales.
