I just bought a new car from My Kia. I've now bought 4 cars from them over the years. When I go…read moreto buy a new car, it's the only car dealership I've even gone to buy a new car. I like cars made in Asia and think they make the best cars for your buck. I've never to have a major repair done on any of the cars I've owned made in Asia. And I've owned 8 of them. My salesman, Mike, was cool. He never once pressured me to buy a car. if he had said, 'What do I have to do to get you into this car today?" I would have walked out. But he didn't. I've never been in sales, but I do know about that "Always closing" selling technique. I stopped by about 4 times to ask questions about the car when I went to Home Depot or Kohl's on an errand. I first saw the K-5 about 4 years ago and thought it was the best-looking car of the similar cars made by other car makers, but I wasn't looking to buy a new car then. So, when I decided it was time to buy a new car, the K-5 was my first choice. I'm well aware they sell cars across the street. I went home and figured out what I would be willing to pay for the car. I went back; test drove the car and made my offer. Mike took my offer to somebody, I've never figured out who they are, and within 15 minutes, they accepted my offer. I was satisfied with the deal and assume they were too. Then it was on to all the extended warranty stuff. Tino was cool too. He knew I was interested in that and didn't push me. He just did his job. If I didn't think this was going to be a good dependable car, I wouldn't be buying it. At 77 years old, this is may be the last car I buy. But if I do buy another car, My Kia is the first place I'll go.

I'm new to the area and I've had to tough time finding my new go-to local mechanic shop that rivals over-inflated dealer parts and labor prices. They're located in Salinas, and absolutely worth the trip.

After spending hundreds and hundreds of dollars trying to solve an ongoing check engine light issue…read moreat other shops, we finally found the team that got it right. I can't say enough good things about Michelle, Hank, and the entire team at Cars LLC. From the beginning, they genuinely cared about helping us solve the problem instead of just trying to sell us unnecessary repairs. Their honesty, experience, and commitment to customer satisfaction really set them apart. Our check engine light kept coming on because of the mass airflow sensor. I had replaced it myself at least a dozen times using a sensor purchased from a local auto parts store, but the problem always came back. Michelle's years of experience led her to suggest that the issue might be that the replacement sensor wasn't an OEM part. We took her advice, installed an OEM sensor, and the problem has been completely resolved ever since. Sometimes it's not about replacing more parts, it's about having the knowledge and experience to diagnose the problem correctly. Thank you, Michelle, Hank, and everyone at Cars LLC for going above and beyond. You've earned our trust and our business, and I highly recommend your shop to anyone looking for honest, knowledgeable mechanics who truly care about their customers.

Jose and His Team Saved Me From Costly Repairs!…read more When my trusty 2002 Ford F150 Lariat started acting up, I was at a loss. It had been running smoothly until a few fuses blew. I thought I could handle it on my own, so we replaced them at home the next day. However, despite my best efforts, I couldn't shake the feeling that something was seriously wrong with the transmission. I could have sworn someone had tampered with it; it felt like the whole thing was about to give out. Confused and a bit panicked, I turned to my brother for advice. Without hesitation, he recommended Jose, proclaiming, "Jose is an honest man; he'll do right by you." Given my brother's track record for quality recommendations, I decided to take his word for it and got my truck towed from Hollister to Castroville. (Stay tuned for my next review on that experience!) I dropped off the truck at Jose's shop on a Monday morning at 9:15 AM, shortly after the shop opened at 8 AM. When I arrived, I was immediately struck by how busy he was. There were three cars already on lifts, a customer at his desk, and another on the phone. Despite the chaos, Jose was on top of everything; he walked out to greet us while still talking on the phone, listening closely to my account of the issues I had encountered. As I recounted the sequence of events--from the pre-fuse change symptoms to the post-fuse change rollercoaster ride that felt like my transmission was in freefall--Jose's attention never wavered. He took note of every detail. After a thorough diagnostic, Jose identified one additional faulty fuse that had escaped my notice. He promptly replaced it and cleared out the bad codes, which was part of the repair and inspection process. What impressed me most was not just his efficiency but his commitment to transparency. Jose took the time to explain ensuring that I understood what was going on with my truck. Thanks to Jose and his team, I dodged what could have been a costly repair. I left his shop feeling relieved and grateful. Jose truly lives up to my brother's recommendation; he is indeed an honest man who does right by his customers. I highly recommend his services to anyone facing car troubles--trust me, you won't regret it!
