    New car!
    Ariel J.

    The staff here are amazing and I can't thank them enough. Huge shout out to Caleb for making my dreams come true and being SO patient with me. You guys are awesome. My only complaint is that after I bought the car I did have to spent about $900 in parts (plus several hours of my own labor) on Intercooler hoses, alternator, and belt tensioner within the first week. But after that, the truck was solid. I had an idea while I was checking out the engine bay but I didn't realize I'd have to immediately drop that much money. Overall, service is great, but if you come here please bring a handy friend or mechanic to inspect the vehicle before you purchase.

    My husband and I had a fabulous experience with Carmen on purchasing our Tesla through Manic Motors! She took her time showing us many different options and different models including letting us test drive several different vehicles until she found the one we fell in love with. She was extremely sweet and wanted to ensure we drove off the lot with the vehicle we love. Thank you Manic Motors and Carmen for a great experience all around. 10/10 highly recommend!

    **Day2 It's very telling that instead of resolving this matter privately and professionally, Rick, the owner of Manic Motors, decided to take over my review and publicly "defend" the dealership. In my original post, I included copies of my email communication with Brock, showing every attempt I made to handle this situation respectfully and directly. Rather than acknowledge those facts or take accountability, Rick chose to respond publicly with excuses and half-truths, which only makes the business look unprofessional and defensive. A reputable dealership would have apologized and followed through on its promises instead of trying to argue with a customer online. His public response doesn't solve anything, it only proves how unwilling Manic Motors is to take responsibility or do what's right. After seeing Rick's public comment trying to "resolve" my complaint, I want to make the facts clear. You have had possession of the vehicle since August 20, 2025, after it suffered a complete engine failure only a few weeks after purchase. The engine seized due to no oil/ low oil pressure caused by a spun piston, which was diagnosed by your own mechanic. Despite that finding, no repairs were ever completed, and the vehicle has remained in your possession. You also initiated and completed a loan buy-back with Westlake Financial without my knowledge or consent. I discovered this only after contacting Westlake directly. Even after that cancellation, you have continued to withhold my down payment and now publicly admit that you are conditioning its return on me signing a "hold harmless" or release agreement. To be clear, I have never refused resolution. I've simply refused to sign away my legal rights or accept terms that are neither lawful nor ethical. I have already filed formal complaints with the California DMV Investigations Division, the Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division, and the Better Business Bureau, who are now reviewing your handling of this transaction. I stand by my experience and the facts. I hope this situation serves as a reminder that consumers have rights and deserve to be treated with honesty, respect, and fairness. Day 2 for Yelp. Updated photos with email messages with Manic Motors. Below are the actual email exchanges between myself and Manic Motors. These messages are copied exactly as they were sent and received, nothing has been edited or altered. They clearly show how the dealership handled my situation, including their written statement threatening to "treat it like a repossession without refunding any money," even though they had already canceled my finance contract and kept possession of my vehicle. I'm posting these so there's no misunderstanding about what was said or how this situation was handled. This is my real experience as a consumer, backed by direct written correspondence.

    My mom is 83 and needed a car . Not great credit, These guys hooked her up and she's very happy .

    We were there maybe an hour bought a truck and got full coverage insurance all in one transaction. Thank you Paula

    Drove up from the central coast to check out a few cars as soon as they opened. I appreciated they…read morehave a covered/outdoor area for customers to wait because of how hot Modesto can get. The customer parking was a bit off to the side in a rocky area but I'm guessing it's because they just have a massive amount of cars in their inventory When we talked to some of the staff we quickly were able to test drive a 2019 Subaru Outback that we were looking for which was awesome. They pulled it up for us and gave us a map that showed you where all you go for your test drive. The test drive is really just a giant circle around the block which has varying speed limits so it's a bit short but also just enough to get a feel for the car. I also appreciate that they don't feel the need to sit in the car with you so you can just focus on the test drive. We told them we were interested in the car but there were a weird issue where the window control panel on the driver side only was able to roll up/down the driver window but none of the others. They said they would immediately take It over to get it fixed and did just that. The prices are non-negotiable which we'd read online but the cars they have in their inventory are actually in really great condition. They all had brand new tires, cleaned thoroughly inside and out, and they repair any issues that previous owners didn't want to. They defintiely put time, money, and labor into each of the cars and when you compare across other dealerships, Robert's Auto cars are in better condition. When we were talking through the price they were immediately able to show us what the costs were out-the-door with the exact breakdown of fees which there are no "surprise fees". They only charged for what was required (title/taxes/registration) and THAT IS IT. We told them we'd come back with a cashiers check and did exactly that in 30 mins. We spent maybe an extra 25 mins to sign paper work and by that time the driver side window control panel was fixed and they had prepped/washed/polished the car inside and out which was awesome. In total we spent maybe 2 hours from when we first pulled in, to where we drove off with the car and I really appreciated how transparent and chill the staff was. Cons: My only incredibly minor complaint/observation was that none of the cars that I saw have floor mats. Which is more odd than anything. If I see I car I want there in the future, I would definitely drive the 4 hours back just because I know exactly what I'm going to get. I'd highly recommend their team! We're all human and miss things but the difference is that they're willing to pay out of pocket to get it fixed before you drive off and even give you 5 days to bring it back (I think) and a 30 day dealer warranty. If the car you want has CarPlay then make sure you bring a USB cable Here's a list of things I like to check: Lights: turn signals, hazards, high and low beams, fog lights Interior: speakers (check to make sure none of them are blown out), all seat controls on driver and passenger side. Make sure they can move forward/back/up/down/etc. Check seat heaters, check the AC works, check window wipers/+rear, check that all of the window controls on all of the doors, check the back up camera. When test driving: check the blind spot detection indicators Overall, 10/10 car dealership!

Since these two lots supposedly belong to the same people as the Volkswagen dealer, it will be convenient to return the car to the VW dealer and shop the two lots. I spent some time at the lot next to the VW/Hyundai dealer and no one came to see me. That's odd. I've been to car lots where I would only be halfway out of my car and someone would be there to greet me. In any case, prices are clearly marked. Some of the cars are previous rentals, so they should have had all scheduled maintenance. They list which cars were rentals on the web site but not on the price listing. The other lot, next to the Nissan and Dodge dealers is somewhat mixed with the new vehicles and it's a bit confusing what is used (excuse me, pre-owned) and what is new. On a previous visit, a salesperson was quite helpful. This time, a salesperson stared a me, as if to figure out whether I had money or not, and then, went about his business without a word to me. I really don't want to buy a car now, but the mess is forcing this. If the sales people don't want to bother, what incentive do I have to shop there?

A 1997 SC2 with 111K on it and 1998 SL1 with 137K on it. Let's start with the basics. Doran the owner lives and breathes Saturn's (Saturn's are what he sells) He does more than just inspect them for resale. He goes through them completely and then sends them out to a reputable shop to have the mechanics looked over and makes all necessary repairs. He's a family guy. We bought these two cars for our two teenagers and he swore to us that he wouldn't sell something he wouldn't let his own kids drive or ride in. That's the type of guarantee we were looking for as parents. The cars both run and look terrific!!! I made an appointment to see the cars and he made sure they were freshly washed and presentable before I got there. I had to beg the dealership I bought a minivan from to wash the dam thing before I drove it home. If you have a problem with it down the line, call him first and he'll attempt to repair it first. Since he is a true Saturn aficionado, I find that to be the best warranty ever for a used vehicle purchase. I ran Carfax's on both vehicles and everything he said checked out and he did not misrepresent a single thing. Both vehicles had clean title no accidents. I can't recommend Ott's Auto Sales enough. The money we had to spend went a long way and I feel confident that we spent our money wisely.

We visited the dealership a few times and Luis always treated us with a great smile and attitude. When it was time to pick up the car Luis was out for the day but Mary helped us with our delivery. Mary was the nicest young gal and has a love for cars like no other young woman I've met. She had us test drive the car and demonstrated the ins and outs of the infotainment system and electronics of the car. She assisted us with all our paperwork which was a seamless process. I can't say enough about Mary, she was just so nice and bubbly and it's obvious she loves her job and people. The finance manager was also very friendly and efficient Kelly did offer us some extra warranties but was never pushy or anything. Usually when it's time to go see the finance manager you know that's where the hard sell is and the payment isn't gonna be what the other sales people told you. In our case that was not so. We got the exact payment and down payment we discussed and never felt any kind of pressure. In fact they didn't even want a deposit or credit report from us while they were doing the dealer trade. we left the dealership feeling like a part of the family.

I was told that the knocking sound was most likely due to my negligence in oil changes, a bias imposed on me, despite getting my oil changes religiously every 3k miles (with documentation). Essentially, my car falls under warranty for a new engine when it has failed bearings. Despite the predisposed prejudice from the service desk, I requested to do a test drive with the mechanic (who was actually very kind). During the test drive he mentioned hearing the noise and validating my concerns, but mentioned Hyundai will not honor the warranty until my vehicle is in a more dangerous, failure to drive situation. Because I do my preventative oil maintenance and took my car in for the noise PRIOR TO possible engine failure, it is not bad enough to warrant a replacement. When I asked, what if this poses a safety risk between now and the "constant knocking" required for the warranty to be used? The question remained unanswered. Wow.
