Thomas made what could have been a stressful new car-leasing process feel effortless from start to finish. He went above and beyond to help us find the exact Calligraphy model we wanted in a very specific color combination, and somehow even made sure everything was completed in time for our big trip. He came highly recommended by a family friend, and he still managed to surpass all of our expectations. Not only was he incredibly professional, responsive, and patient throughout the entire process, but he also secured us a better deal than we ever expected. It's rare to find someone who genuinely cares about their customers the way Thomas does. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, dedicated, and willing to go the extra mile, Thomas is absolutely the person to see. We couldn't be happier with our experience! Thank you again, Thomas & Motive Auto for making this such an exciting and memorable experience for our family. We truly appreciate everything you did for us and will be recommending you to everyone we know! read more

After seeing all these positive reviews, I decided to contact them. I emailed them about my interest in a leasing a 2024 Mazda cx 90 on 9/9. No response. Went to a different leasing company that also have 4.9 reviews on google like this company, and got a response within minutes of inquiry. I am sure they are a great company based on reviews though once you get the ball rolling with them. read more

great service. been coming here for years and their the best in Nassau. came in recently to get an oil change after I purchased a new ride and they did it quickly and efficientl. thanks guys, again. read more

I got my car here. They were so helpful and knowledgeable! Everything turned out in a timely manner. Highly recommend!

Was referred to Thomas by a friend and definitely don't regret reaching out! He made this the easiest process. I was extremely wary of how this would work... but blew my expectations out of the water! Super helpful in terms of determining what car to buy. Tries to find the best deals for you. Don't need to deal with car salesman and all the ways they try to add extra costs by making it sound like you're getting the "deal of the century." Gives option to pick up and drop off new car as well as pick up and drop off your old car. He even got my lease payments waived for the final couple of months (and this was him working with 2 different dealerships for the sell and car return). Tries to make the paperwork process as EASY as possible. Answers promptly. This is probably the first time I ever thought "too good to be true" didn't fit here, because it really was that good...and it's the truth! Have been and will continue to recommend him to all my friends and family who are in need of a new car! read more

As my lease was up was looking into a particular model which last time around i missed out on. Went with Motive as a friend recommended them and they did a great job attaining the car for him. It was quick and easy. Contacted them by phone and by that afternoon a representative Anthony got back to me. Motive and Anthony had great customer service from start to finish. Very reachable and answered all my questions. I had a particular model and color and package scheme i was interested in and they came through. From attaining the DMV process and going through credit check and insurance i have been very satisfied. Prices were great. Definitely hit on all cylinders. Would highly recommend them. read more

I like when people treat my people special. Both my mother and sister have leased cars with Motive Auto and loved their experience! To be honest- I'm jealous my mom is driving like she had someone "pimp her ride" (MTV age). Anyway... No sitting in the dealership for hours on end, no lemons, and no awkward personalities trying to capitalize off your ignorance. From start to finish, the process was quite seamless. Sooo... here I am leaving a review, saying thank you in advance! It's my turn and I know I'm in good hands. Update to follow! read more

I reached out to Motiv Auto and am working with Thomas to find me a new car lease, who I believe is one of the owners. I've been looking for a new car for quite some time and Thomas has been helping me find the perfect one. Motiv came highly recommended by one of my best friends after they found him a top of the line Lexus coupe for literally three hundred dollars less a month than what it typically goes out for. I'll admit, I'm probably not the easiest to work with, as I gave him several different types of cars that I was interested in and have specific items on my 'must-haves' list. I have probably texted him several times a week and he has always getting back to me super fast and within minutes. This is such an easier experience than shopping around at dealerships (although there are some great ones on Long Island, that's for sure!) and not having to negotiate or getting taken advantage of. He's still looking hard for me to find a great deal and I hope to update this review in the near future with a picture of a shiny new car. read more

I just recently leased the 2020 audi a4 through Motive Auto. It was the most convenient and stress-free way I have ever had when getting a car. My rep Thomas was very knowledgeable and professional. He took the time to go through any questions I had and went above and beyond to try and find the best deals available to me. I let him know what I wanted and he tailored his offers to what I considered to be important. I would stronly recommend others to Motive Auto. I'd definitely come back to Motive Auto for my next car. read more

I don't usually leave reviews (this is actually my first) but after the exceptional service I received from Josh at motive compelled me to do just that! Josh worked with me for about two weeks trying to get me into a car that fit my needs and budget. He was courtesy, patient, and professional the entire time. Not one time communicating with Josh did he ever talk to me like a gimmicky salesperson (which is a pet peeve of mine when car shopping) He was extremely friendly and non pushy. I became discouraged initially because I didn't think I'd get an affordable lease for my "dream" car Jeep Grand Cherokee because of my not so great credit but Josh and his manager worked diligently to get me a great deal! He delivered the car to my home and to top everything off, he even surprised me with a few gifts for my daughters and I inside the vehicle! I highly recommend these guys (specifically Josh since I personally dealt with him.) in fact my girlfriend will be working with him for her new car in a few months. read more

This was the best car leasing experience I've ever had. Besides a test drive on a new vehicle there is no reason to ever have to suffer through the car dealership environment ever again! Working with Anthony from Motive was awesome, super nice guy who was so transparent with our lease. He answered all my questions without any hidden pop-up fee's or pressure. Motive sincerely cares about their reputation, so they will try their best to go the extra step to make a customer happy. I am very thankful I went with Motive ! They do excellent work getting you the ideal lease that fits you. Oh ONE MORE THING... nothing beats you getting your new car dropped off to your house. easy. read more

I have been working with Ted from Motive Auto for the past months and it has been such a pleasant experiences shopping for my first car. I initially went to different dealerships but I ended up getting really disappointed because the sales people will raise the price and its such a pain negotiating with all salesperson. I almost wanted to give up buying the car until I got to know Motive Auto through a friend and i am so glad I made this decision. Ted was able to get me the price I want within three days and close the deal within a week, without me talking directly to the dealership. He helped to manage every single step of the process, and delivered the car to my door. Even with all the after-purchase follow ups, he has been extremely patient with my questions and make sure everything is taken care of efficiently. I would highly recommend Ted and Motive Auto service to everyone who is new to the car purchase since it really helped me a lot! read more

No more stress when it comes to getting a new car!! As my lease was coming to an end, I was dreading the idea of going to multiple dealerships and all the paperwork but Joseph made it as easy as it could be. After just a few phone calls, it took less than a week to have the car of my dreams to be delivered right to my driveway!! Now my family is looking to get another car through Joseph because the service was that perfect! Thank you for all your help Motive auto! read more

Motive Auto - Santa Fe 2020! - Car Dealers Near Me - Oakland Gardens, New York

With all the positive comments I really was looking forward to have Motive to get me a new Honda while trading away my old car. But I don't know what to say about this experience. 1. I tried to email and it was immediately returned to my email Bc the info@motive address was no longer working. I then called and got Ted, who was very attentive on the phone. I emailed him and listed what I was looking for on the same day (7/15/19) 2. Ted emailed me about 2 days later and asked me to let him know about the condition of my trade-in car. (7/17/19) 3. I emailed him back within 24 hours (7/18/19) 4. I emailed him again to see if there was any updates (7/29/19) 5. I emailed him again a week later (8/5/19) Until today there Hasn't been a response (8/17/19) and I have gotten a new Honda Civic. Maybe Ted has left the company or maybe I should've called. But if I have to chase after people when I'm told that Motive is such a client centered company, I would've been contacted. So I'm very disappointed with this experience. read more

I was very satisfied with leasing 2021 Sonata despite first time leasing a car with Young. Having a light credit myself & chip shortage, I was worried that I couldn't get a fair deal. However, Motive Auto was able to get me good lease deal and perfect hand over. All communication was done thru e-mail had no hassle. Thank you! read more

Great experience!! I want it to get a new car but just thinking to go to different dealerships and deal with pushy sale representatives just gave a headache. A friend told me that now there were car brokers, something I never hear before, so, I searched on yelp and found 4 different companies. I contacted Motive Auto because of the great reviews they have, nobody recommend them to me. First I email them through his main website, but it seems it's not working properly, because they didn't get my email. After 2 days with no answer I call the main office, the manager took my number and told me a sale representative will contact me soon. Anthony call me the next day. He was very attentive and clearly explained me the process. He reassure me that his main job was to find me the car I wanted for the best price. He told me since the beginning he would be very honest about the price he would get to me because he wanted to honor the offer and not just give a low price to run my credit and then come out with something else. He was able to find me a blue Chrysler Pacifica with a great rate, get a good price for my trade-in, get me the insurance and make the transfer of previous car's plates. He managed to do all the transaction in 1 week and delivered my beautiful Chrysler Pacifica to my house last Saturday. I couldn't be happier. It was a bit difficult to trust in people you don't get to see until the end of the transaction but it was worth it. For sure I'll work with them again, I will recommend them to every person I know. I didn't give 5 stars because I believe they need to improve communication through their main website, but for sure it was a pleasure to work with Anthony read more

I found Motive Auto on Yelp while searching for options to lease a new car. Like a lot of other people i was tired of dealing with the lies/negotiating tactics of the dealerships. Initially, i was skeptical with all the 5-star reviews Motive Auto had received. I reached out to Motive Auto via message on Yelp. Within minutes i received a response back from Joshua. Joshua was willing and able to speak with me even outside of normal working hours (Sunday night) to start the process of getting my next lease. Joshua was super attentive and responsive to my needs and what i was looking for in a new car. Took my needs (type of car and budget) and found the cars that fit my criteria. Joshua even found other cars of a similar class that had good deals. Joshua took care of the bargaining and presented all the offers that were currently available (without any persuasion or pressure to choose). Once I chose the deal that worked for me Joshua took all the steps to get the car delivered right to my doorstep. Joshua delivered the car to my house and had me fill out the paperwork in the comfort of my own home. In addition, Joshua took precautions to lessen the risk of my family or i from being exposed to COVID-19. Joshua took care of every single detail. Joshua and Motive Auto provided truly first-class service. If you are tired of dealing with the dealerships i highly recommend reaching out to Motive Auto and seeing what they can do for you. I know i will be back to Motive when i need a new car in the future and will recommend them to my family and friends 5-Stars all the way. Thank You Joshua and Motive Auto. read more

I had such a hassle free experience with changing my lease over to a new and improved Honda HR-V this past month thanks to Motive Auto. Thomas and his team (Kevin) were so accommodating and professional in the way they helped me understand what I was getting for my buck and really took into consideration of my budget. Having very little experience with the dealership world, I know that this company can provide a more positive experience for anyone looking to trade in or finance a car! Thank you Motive Auto for your services! I will definitely be coming back! read more

My wife and I needed a new car fast due to our current lease ending. We worked with Thomas and he is unbelievable. The process was so easy and convenient. He is the most honest and professional person I have dealt with in my years of buying cars. My wife and I love our new X7 and we already recommended a few of our friends his way. read more

Motive Auto - Car Dealers Near Me - Oakland Gardens, New York

I am a very cautious buyer, especially when it comes to cars; I like to take my time, and do research on cars(Which dealers try to rush you into buying aggressively..I don't like that), and make sure I fit in the car. I'm only 6'4",yet I wasn't able to find that had a decent head space. I looked into so many mid sized sedans, full sized sedans, mid sized SUV, mid sized trucks, full sized trucks. I can probably tell you the specs of the headspace in most of the cars at this point... and my struggle is on point, because I went to a Nissan dealer one day, and tried to sit in ALL OF THEIR CARS. The only car I managed to fit in with an inch and a half left on my head was the Armada....and that car was way out of my budget. I kid you not, the sales person was baffled how I couldn't fit in any of the cars. He scratched his head and sent me off telling me to try visiting Jeep... I went to the Jeep Chrysler dealership, and what do you know...enough head space...sbjilgfhdjgnhdfkjgndfkjgnfdklg ANNNNNYYYWAYS, that's just an example of the frustrations I had to go through looking for a car... Overall experience with Paul from Motive Auto: Paul was very helpful and patient with me in finding the right car at the best price! I literally texted and called him regarding the cars that I was looking into, because I had to change the agenda everytime I found out that I don't fit in the car I was looking into. he was verryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy patient...like very very very patient. and verrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyy helpful...like very very very helpful. If you are wondering which car I got; I got the 2018 Hyundai Tucson Sport. even though its only a mid sized SUV, it had the most headspace and best bang for the buck. read more

Love my new 2022 Tucson! Dealer wouldn't budge on price because of demand these days but motive beat the dealer by $75 a month! They picked up the car from Long Island and delivered it to me. Never buying a car from a dealer again. read more

Motive Auto - Car Dealers Near Me - Oakland Gardens, New York

Getting a car was not stressful at all. They guide you every step of the way with simple explanations. They work with your budget and give you multiple options to get you the best deal. Super friendly and professional service. You get your ride with Motive on your side! Thanks Motive! read more

TL;DR: No more dealerships, get your car here. Going to the dealer and playing games with the salesman and manager is exhausting. I tried for a week before a friend told me about Motive Auto. The entire process at Motive was done via phone and text, and at the end the car was delivered to my front door. I got an amazing price and couldn't be happier with the lease. Tom and Joseph were excellent. They were upfront and responsive, and really went above and beyond with their service and research (I'm moving to Chicago with the new car and they filled me in on Chicago tax laws..!) I wish more people knew you could get cars this way. No more giving the dealer a fake number to avoid getting hassled. My friends and I will be back, and I recommend anyone looking to get a new car to skip the dealer and call Motive. read more

Had a lot of difficulty leasing a car for a reasonable price at dealerships with the current market and chip shortage. I reached out to motive auto and Thomas was able to get me the car and trim I was looking for at a fair price, without the hassle of going to the dealer. Definitely recommend using their help to lease a car. read more

Tony was beyond amazing he was patient in explaining many questions we had about different cars, comparing brands and was very knowledgeable in different aspects both financially and mechanically that would impact our decision on purchasing a car. It was our first time here and we were thoroughly impressed in the proactive demeanor. For those looking for expert guidance who would treat your time and business like family this is the place for you. They are definitely a client advocate and would not try to sell you on anything your not comfortable on purchasing. Tony personally brought our new Infiniti in the exact model, color, trim and package all the way from NJ to my house in Brooklyn. He found the perfect match for us with an attractive financial package. He took his time to go over the car and describe everything in the contract we were signing off on. He was professional, courteous and prompt in his response. His service was phenomenal and we loved it so much that my aunt also ended up getting a car from him. He personally followed up to see if we had any issues after the delivery of the car and to see if we had any questions for him. To top it all off he returned our leased Acura back to the dealer for us! It was the best price we were quoted, hassle free and overall a very pleasant experience. I highly recommend motive auto Tony to anyone looking to finance or lease a car. Would definitely recommend to all my friends! read more

I had the pleasure to deal with John Bak with getting me out of my current Audi into a newer lease. He definitely took the time and patience to find what I wanted and the price I was comfortable with. He even beat what the dealer was asking for and he didn't give me a headache like the dealers normally do. If you want someone to handle all the paper work and find you the best deal. Speak to him. John even went above and beyond in getting me something the dealer missed after the purchase. He really does look out for his clients. Thank you and hope you guys have the best experience like I did. read more

I got introduced to Thomas at Motive through one of my friends. I knew about Motive because a lot of my friends got their cars from them and I already knew how reliable they were! If you're bad at negotiating like me and say yes to everything, you definitely need to come to Motive. Thomas took the headache out of car searching and negotiating, and communicated with me very often and promptly. I felt taken care of and I was glad I didn't have to go to the dealership myself! From our first meeting to discuss what kind of car I wanted, to our last meeting of picking up the car and signing papers, I think both visits together totaled 40 minutes? So much better than the hours I spent at dealerships in the past! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! read more

My family leased 3 cars through Motive Auto and it was the most convenient and stress free experience we've ever had. I always hated dealing with dealerships because they always say one thing and by the time you speak with a finance manager the price has increased but with Motive Auto it's straightforward and they do everything for you. I worked with John and the whole transaction went smoothly. It's great we didn't have to go into a dealership during these times. They returned and delivered the car to us. I highly recommend Motive Auto. read more

As a first time car buyer, I was super anxious about the whole ordeal. Thomas made everything much easier. He was available and patient throughout the entire process. He also found a great deal in a limited amount of time. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with how everything turned out and would recommend to anyone who wants a seamless car buying experience ! read more

This is my 2nd lease thru Motive Auto. Thomas went above and beyond to get me the car that met all my needs. Always professional, always courteous, always a pleasure to work with! I highly recommend Motive Auto to anyone who is looking for a reliable, friendly and trustworthy team!! Thank you, Thomas - you are a rare find!!! read more

I needed to help my mother-in-law lease a new car in the middle of a pandemic and Thomas Byun of Motive Auto made it happen stress free! He was nothing short of incredible throughout the selection, insurance, and vehicle pickup processes. Thomas worked with all of my mother-in-law's specific requests and found the car she wanted at a great price. And so quickly! He also kept us both updated constantly while working around our personal schedules. When we got the vehicle, Thomas even spent an hour helping her understand how to connect her phone to the vehicle and work the navigation system. That made her very happy and really helped me out! Buying and leasing cars can be very confusing and often feels like a huge gamble, but Thomas and Motive Auto made sure that was never the case for my family. I could not recommend them more highly! read more

I've gotten two cars here. Both experiences were superb. I did not feel buyers remorse like I have felt with prior vendors. They offered me a competitive price, without the middle man sales guy and the calling of the manager and games that dealerships play. No aggressive add ons like warranties and superfluous packages were pressed on me. Paul exceeded my expectations. The customer service is matchless IMO. They brought the "dealership" to me. Never again will I waste time waiting hours in a conventional dealership. I'd rather call Paul. Repeat customer. Will repeat again. read more

Joseph and his team were excellent all around. They helped me get the exact car I wanted (sonata limited in hampton gray). seamless paperwork, very responsive, and works around any issues you may have. Car shopping/insurance buying process can be extremely exhausting but the motive auto team gets it all done at the best price in a timely fashion. thank you fam! god bless. read more

Worked with John to get our car and it was the best and easiest shopping experience ever. We told him what we wanted and our budget and he located the car and had it delivered to our home within a week. We also switched our car and home insurance over to Farmers through him and are saving a couple hundred dollars a year for the same coverage. I highly recommend this company- all in one service. Doesn't get much easier (or better) than this. read more

So I stumbled upon Motive by googling "best car dealers" and I'm actually thoroughly impressed!! I walked in here on a Saturday and my family and I were immediately offered coffee and bottled water by Joseph, who was the one who also helped me throughout this entire process. Since I walked in right before closing time, we didn't get the process started until Monday but that was fine because I never had to step foot back in the office, everything was handled by phone call/text message which I loved. Despite a few snags in the road on my end, Joseph was patient with me and able to get me an incredible deal on a brand new 2019 Honda Accord (which he then delivered to me at work - best customer service EVER!!). I didn't even have to go to a dealership, I am going to tell everyone I know about Motive! read more

I have been dealing with Tom for over 6 years now, and he is very attentive really works hard to fulfill your dreams or expectations on any vehicle, goes over an beyond to get you the best value! Service is exceptional! I highly recommend Motive Auto! read more

The worst part of getting a new car in my opinion, is haggling with a car dealer and trying not to get ripped off. I have been stressing about getting another car, since my end of lease was nearing. I definitely did my research and calculated the absolute best price, I could get. I went to several different dealership with no luck of getting the price I was looking for, I had given up. Until I found MOTIVE AUTO! It was literally god sent :). I sent Thomas the price I wanted and he was able to get me a even better price !! I only had to meet him once to sign ! All I did was drop off my previous car and I drove off with my new car, everything else was literally taken care of! Their whole staff was also sooo helpful, patient and willing to give you the best top of the line service !! I will never go anywhere else ! You won't be disappointed, I promise you !! Ten thumbs up!! ^_^ read more

Motive Auto is amazing! Joseph was so easy to work with, he helped us get a lease on the car we wanted, a Honda Pilot, at a reasonable rate. It was so easy and painless, and a huge timesaver; no haggling at a car dealership, having to make phone calls, or even having to pick up the car. They do all the work and deliver it to your doorstep! If you are in the market to purchase or lease a new car, use Motive Auto, you won't regret it! read more
