If you're looking at a car here, bring a mechanic and a scanner--the "no-issue" claims don't match the reality under the hood. Flew from LA to Davis for this 2018 Scat Pack after being told it was a car that was very well taken care of. As a tech, I took it for an independent Pre-Purchase Inspection (shout out to MIDAS!) the results were a disaster: * Active Oil Leak: Oil pooling under the intake manifold from the upper back engine corner. * Bad Suspension: Failed lower and upper control arm bushings; car pulls hard to the left. Mechanically unfit for a long drive, let alone a performance car. My boy stayed with my $500 too which is fine id rather lose that vs 32k . #ShadyMotors

Lazy at best. Deceptive at worst…read more I found a car listed on Facebook Marketplace and then googled to find GT Auto Sales' website. It had a clean Carfax and was within my price range. Having worked in auto repair for over 15 years, I arranged for a pre-purchase inspection (PPI) through a local shop before committing. The inspection came back decent, so I sent a $200 deposit to hold the vehicle until I could make the trip from Reno on Saturday. My husband, our two kids, and I drove 142 miles, 2.5 hours each way, to buy the car. We spotted it immediately in the lot, and our excitement quickly plummeted. First, an 18-inch streak of damage on the driver's side. Then, a deep dent and a six-inch gouge. Scratches across the hood, stains on every seat, dashboard damage, a ripped driver's seat and center armrest, a missing chrome trim piece poorly painted silver, and even coffee spills running down the side of the passenger seat. It was a mess. We still took it for a test drive, but I told my husband I was shocked at the condition. He summed it up, "This car is a piece of shit." I started to wonder what else hadn't been disclosed. At that point, I knew I wasn't buying it. When we returned, I told Patrick that I was disappointed. I pointed out the damage, stains, and general filth, to which he responded surprised and said, "We had it detailed!" There were literally crumbs in the cupholders. To their credit, they refunded my deposit without issue, and we left. Later, I looked back at the photos on their website. Every shot was taken at an angle, out of focus, or in lighting that concealed the damage. This wasn't just laziness -- it felt intentional. The summary: * 284 miles round trip * $60 in gas * A full Saturday lost * $15 cashier's check I now have to void Maybe not all their cars are like this. But if you're coming from out of town, look very carefully at the photos and ask for close-ups of the body and interior before you commit to anything. Better yet -- don't waste your time.

We also bought an extended warranty and were told it would cover repairs, yet I still paid over $850 in August/September to fix sensor issues that caused the car to stall while driving. I've now discovered the car had two different size tires and all four are cracked. Clearly, there was little to no quality control before this vehicle was delivered. The most upsetting part is that this car was for my twin teenage daughters. I needed something safe for new drivers, but between the tire problems and sensor malfunction, this vehicle has not been safe at all. I do not recommend this dealership unless you know cars very well and can thoroughly inspect any vehicle yourself before buying.

Located in Davis off Chiles Road, Auto Gem shares a building and lot with Sac River Auto (visible…read morefrom I-80 East). We were looking for a used car for my teenage son and originally came to see a few cars at Sac River Auto. When we pulled into the parking lot, we were actually greeted by employees of Auto Gem. They did tell us that they shared a lot with Sac River Auto and a directed us in the direction of the cars that were interested in despite not being their cars for sale. Auto Gem did not try to solicit any business as we were originally interested in the cars at Sac River Auto. Unfortunately we were not interested in the cars at Sac River Auto, but fortunately I decided to just go next door to Auto Gem and see what cars they had available. They have a banner that says "Best Cars Under $10,000" and guess what, they did have a good amount of cars under $10,000. Moe (General Manager) who runs the Auto Gem dealership was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. After looking at a few cars, we ran across a Chevy Volt which we decided to test drive. When we came back we decided to look at a few more cars, but my son seems to gravitate towards the Chevy Volt. Moe was very transparent with the cars and disclosed what is known about the cars. CarFax reports were shown upon request for each car. While we were deciding to purchase or not, Moe told us to take the car out for another test drive if we wanted to (which we didn't, but was a nice offer). While examining the car, I pointed out that the passenger side door hinge was not working properly and that there was condensation in the taillights (1 had a crack with water inside) and Moe offered to replace both taillights and door hinge at their expense if we purchased the car. We decided on purchasing the car. They offer $200 off the price of the car if paid cash, check or credit card (3% charge if you use credit card). Since they were going to pay for the taillights and door hinge, they were not able to offer the $200 cash discount. We took the car home and a few days later, I got a call that the parts were in and I could bring the car in to have the parts replaced (by the mechanic shop next door) which is why I'm back here today. The repairs took about 1.5 hrs (we waited in the office on comfortable leather couches) and we were on our way. If you want an affordable car from a dealer that provides great service and is not pushy, you should definitely check out Auto Gem! The paperwork was done very quickly (~30 minutes)! The General Manager, Moe is great! This is one of the best auto buying experiences I have ever had!

After checking out this car on-line, I then contacted AutoGem first using email to confirm the car was still available and then shortly thereafter I called on the phone and talked with "Moe" ... turns out that he is the owner/manager of AutoGem. I made arrangement to come in for a test drive. The test drive went great ... everything seemed to be working as expected and the car was in pretty good shape for a 2014. This car had 97,000 miles on it and other than a few scratches and some cosmetic flaws on the inside it was in great condition. Moe also had a pretty good price on the car --- $11,000. I previously had a Mercedes C350 2014 that I loved but it was totaled in wreck regretfully. I was now looking to replace it with either another C350 or a E350 or E400 --- I wanted older version (2014) Mercedes that had the dashboard controls that I liked. The E350 is a little bigger and more roomy than the C350. I was feeling pretty good about getting this car. I took it for another test drive and then we noticed the Blind Spot detector on the drivers side was not working good. The Blind Spot detector on the passenger side was working good. I talked to Moe about this and he assured me if I bought the car that he would get the Blind Spot problem fixed at no cost to me. I really wanted the car ... so I put my trust in Moe and bought the car that day. Within 2 weeks we figured out what the problem was with the Blind Spot not working. I took the car back to AutoGem and Moe's mechanic was able to get the the Blind Spot working again. All is well that ends well !!! Many thanks to Moe helping find a great car! I highly recommend AutoGem for anyone looking for car.
