I have nothing but amazing to say about the dealership and everyone involved! I had been searching for a used Rivian for a couple months waiting for the right one to come up. I live about three hours away from the dealership and they were so happy to answer questions, send videos and photos, help me in whatever way. I have nothing but great things to say about Cesar and Julie. They made the process easy and seamless! Can't recommend enough!

Wow! I'm so impressed with the quality of service provided - not just by my amazing sales guy, Jim - but the whole team is superb. And that is coming from a fellow career salesperson who is notoriously picky about service. We spent a very long day (my fault, not theirs) test driving and viewing about a dozen different cars. I walked in and was greeted by Jim and was honest that I didn't really know what I was looking for. My tastes usually outweigh my budget but I wasn't going to settle. Jim was an expert on all the features of both the gas and electric models. My top choice was a little too far out of my budget - that's when Jim and Blake (manager) came in to help me really focus on the needs and wants I was looking for. And poof! Just like magic my beautiful, perfect new etron revealed itself. It had everything I needed and wanted - at the price I could stomach. Blake did a great job helping me with the financing portion and Kyle (finance manager) made the paperwork portion as fast and easy as possible. While we waited for numbers to be ran we had a great conversation with Jackie. Her energy is amazing! Diane pitched in to help explain the tech components. Everyone was a joy to work with. Jim reached out the following day just to make sure I was still in love with my new car. It really was a great experience. He stayed late to help finish the job and never expressed any impatience with me - no matter how picky I was. I could tell that he genuinely wanted us to leave happy - not just make a sale. This is exactly the type of service that brings repeat customers. I will be back when it's time to upgrade and have already recommended this dealership to my co-workers. Great job, Niello! Jim is the best - five stars all around.

Okay... I waited 2 weeks before I post here to see if I still feel Niello Audi is 5 stars andddd yes, still 5 . I inquired at Elk Grove Audi and I did not get the any information after I was asked to take photos of my car etc. I am actually excited to thank Elk grove for the lack of response and bad sales tactics cuz without them... I would go to Niello. Long story short, one Saturday morning after brunch, we stopped by Niello Audi. Went to "stop by" to check if I would like the Q4 Etron and we were greeted by Dianne. She was chill and did not sound like the other dealership with "commision breath" . If you work in sales, you know what I'm talking about. We had specifics of what we want and we have a year old suv. Do we need a new car? Prolly not. But, we're here.... No going back. Dianne was attentive, friendly and not salesy and I respect that. I work in sales too. Test drive (dangerous cuz this car is great) and we decided to take a look at the numbers. Steve Tracy is a gift from the heavens with his patience as we did the whole back and fort like Sharl Tank, minus the Shark aspect. No pressure, we didnt need the truck, but yes, we wanted it. Long story short, Steve made it "make sense" and off we go to meet Jessie for the finance aspect. Same vibe- let's talk what makes sense and he made the tedious and not so exciting part of the process easy and seamless. 5 stars for efficiency 5 stars for the not the icky car salesman attitude 5 stars for Steve's snacks 5 stars for Dianne's follow up. 5 stars for Jessie's perfect hair that day 5 stars for David's knowledge and nuggets on the Q4 5 stars for the follow up and overall great experience.

blatant lie on what their mission is they are definitely not unyielding integrity the complete opposite

Bait-and-Switch at Niello Porsche Audi on Auburn Boulevard I want to share my frustrating and disappointing experience with Niello Porsche Audi on Auburn Boulevard in Sacramento. In December, they contacted me with an offer of $47,000 for my pristine Jaguar, which has always been garaged and covered, with only 12,000 miles on it. They assured me they would buy the car on the spot if it was as I described--which it was, in every detail. The car was in perfect condition. Based on their offer, I turned down two other individual buyers because Niello assured me they really wanted to buy it and were offering the price I wanted. I took a full day off work and brought a friend, who also had to take the day off and drive separately, as Niello said they'd buy the car immediately. We traveled an hour and a half to get there, expecting a straightforward transaction. Upon arrival, they inspected the vehicle, confirmed it was in excellent condition as described, and initially expressed enthusiasm. However, their manager returned with an offer of only $32,000, a shocking $15,000 less than the original promise. When I asked why they wouldn't honor the $47,000 offer, they claimed "the market had changed." This excuse was baffling since less than two weeks had passed since they made their initial offer. I showed them the text messages from their salesman clearly stating the $47,000 offer, but the manager dismissed it, saying, "It's not my responsibility to honor the promises of a salesman." This approach felt sneaky and unethical. I spent nearly two hours negotiating with four different managers, trying to make them accountable for their offer. Finally, as a last-ditch effort, I worked with the Used Car Manager, Chad, and he was uncooperative on all levels. Despite their assurances and the fact that the car was exactly as described, they refused to honor their commitment. Ultimately, I walked away, frustrated and betrayed. I immediately contacted CarMax, and within minutes, they offered me $44,500 for my car--no games, no stress. Their team was professional, efficient, and a pleasure to work with. For context, I've purchased three vehicles from Niello over the past 12 years. After this experience, I will never do business with them again. Life is too short to waste time with a company that doesn't value its customers or stand by its word. If you're considering working with Niello, I urge you to think twice. My experience suggests they operate on bait-and-switch tactics and have no problem wasting your time or treating you disrespectfully. Go somewhere reputable, like CarMax, where you'll be treated fairly and with transparency.

Over spray

I recently purchased a Certified Pre-Owned Audi Q7 from Niello Audi in Sacramento. It had only 10,000 miles and looked brand new -- both inside and out -- which was reflected in the premium price. The only flaw was a small set of scratches on the tailgate beneath the Audi emblem. The emblem itself and the black trim below it also needed replacing. They agreed to fix everything, so I moved forward with the purchase. The sales process was smooth, and the salesperson was great -- no complaints there. The problems started when they sent my vehicle to Vivid Auto Body for the due bill repair. The night before the appointment, I thoroughly detailed my Q7 and documented its pristine condition with multiple videos. I even recorded a final walkaround at the dealership when I dropped it off. They also performed their own check-in documentation, so there should've been no confusion about how the car looked beforehand. About a week later, I was told the car was ready. But when I arrived, the vehicle was soaking wet -- as if freshly washed -- which immediately raised red flags, since cars with fresh paint aren't supposed to be washed for at least 15 days. But the real frustration hit when I inspected the tailgate. There were scratches and what looked like polishing compound or overspray smeared across the brake lights. Even worse, I noticed runny, dried paint near the taillights -- areas that weren't even part of the original damage. The black trim was still scratched, and now the paint didn't match. Why they painted the outer edges when the original issue was in the center made absolutely no sense. It looked sloppy, rushed, and careless. I was furious. I take great care of my vehicles, and now it looked worse than when I dropped it off. I should've just left the original scratches alone. I told the service advisor, "T," that I didn't want that body shop touching my car again. I also emailed both the sales manager, Alex, and the general manager, Aaron, outlining everything. Neither of them ever responded -- no apology, no explanation, no accountability. The only reply I got was a short text from my salesperson, "C," saying the sales manager agreed the work wasn't acceptable and that they'd "take care of it." The following week, I texted the service advisor again. She said they were waiting for their detailer to evaluate the car. Days later, I followed up again, and this time I was told someone from their team would inspect the damage and figure out a plan. Finally -- and with no details -- I got a text late on a Friday saying the car was ready. When I asked what had actually been done, nobody could give me a straight answer. I was told the overspray had been removed, the runny paint "addressed," and they sprayed it with clear coat again -- in the parking lot. I never received any documentation or work order confirming what was done. I picked the car up, and while it looked slightly better, the job was still unacceptable. There was still overspray, the trim was still scratched, and the paint on the driver's side of the tailgate didn't match. It was obvious and cheap-looking. At this point, I'm taking it to a professional detailer to clean up the mess they made. The quote I received for proper overspray removal, clay bar treatment, full paint correction, and fixing the tailgate paint? $3,000. I told the sales manager, Alex, and he offered me $300-$500 toward the cost. I accepted a $600 check -- which barely makes a dent in what I now have to spend to fix their poor-quality work. I trusted Niello Audi to stand by their product and deliver on a basic repair, and they completely failed me. Instead of replacing the damaged parts as promised, they cut corners and reconditioned them poorly. Communication was minimal, follow-through was nonexistent, and I was left feeling like no one cared. This was my second Audi purchase from Niello -- but it will absolutely be my last. I will never recommend them to anyone again. What should've been a simple fix turned into a weeks-long ordeal and a $3,000 out-of-pocket nightmare. If you value your time, money, and peace of mind, do yourself a favor: shop elsewhere.

TLDR: No-nonsense dealer who was an extreme pleasure to work with!…read more We purchased a lightly used EV from Zen Auto last weekend and it was a smooth, simple transaction from start to finish. Easily one of the best car buying experiences we've ever had. Amir sent me an out-the-door pricing sheet over text (very straightforward, no extra bs fees). There was no haggling or excessive back and forth... he just gave me a great price on the vehicle I wanted and a competitive offer on my trade-in (via pictures.) We made the trip up to Sac to do the deal. As we pulled into the lot, we saw Amir and his crew detailing and charging our new car. Amir was super friendly, gave us a quick tour of the vehicle, and encouraged us to take the car out for a test drive. When we got back, he had all the paper work ready to go and all we had to do was sign. He was very patient with us, answered all of our questions, and made the process a breeze. He even bought us lunch afterwards which we really enjoyed! Before this, my last few car purchases were direct-to-consumer Tesla buys and I didn't think I'd ever go back to buying from traditional dealerships again. But dealing with Zen Auto was an amazing experience and I'd definitely go back to them when I'm in the market again.

I brought a project to them and they handled it with no questions asked. Might have been seeing…read moregreen for a couple months after, sorry for that. I would recommend them for anything you think can't be done! Thanks all!

Hi Roman, I'm going…read moreto respectfully disagree with your response because we never even got to the point of sitting down to complete paperwork or process payment. The reason the deal stopped was because the vehicle developed multiple serious issues during my test drives. On the first and second test drive, the vehicle triggered: * Check engine light * Battery charging malfunction warning * Engine overheating warning * Limp mode, limiting the car to under 1,500 RPM After returning to the dealership, I personally inspected the vehicle and found the main pulley had failed/separated. What concerns me is that the vehicle was advertised across multiple sites as being "fully inspected & serviced by our state-of-the-art top-rated service department." Based on the condition the vehicle presented in during my visit, I do not feel that statement reflected my experience. If I wasn't serious about purchasing the vehicle, I would not have: * Sent a $1,000 deposit * Booked a flight from Southern California to Sacramento * Planned to drive the vehicle 7-8 hours home At no point was I unwilling to buy the vehicle due to paperwork. The transaction never progressed that far because the focus became the vehicle's mechanical condition and drivability concerns. My review was based entirely on my actual experience at the dealership. I also have photos and videos documenting the warning messages and condition of the vehicle during the test drives. I wish you and your team the best moving forward.

There were several aspects of the visit that I appreciated:…read more* The facility was clean, and refreshments and donuts were provided * The undercarriage inspection video was helpful and informative * The cashier kindly allowed me to borrow a charging cord for my phone * My Service Advisor, Matt, was informative and did a great job explaining the available service options to help me decide which services to select for my vehicle However, I am extremely dissatisfied with the overall service experience and wait time. I scheduled my service appointment for 9:00 AM, but my Service Advisor, Matt, did not meet with me until approximately 9:45 AM. While he was very helpful during our discussion, I was quoted about an hour (possibly a little longer) for the completion of the service. By 11:30 AM, my vehicle was still not finished, and I had to ask the cashier to follow up with Matt for an updated ETA because he was assisting another customer. At approximately 12:00 PM, Matt apologized and explained that there was only one technician handling oil changes that day. He then advised me the vehicle would be ready in another 15 minutes; however, the service was not completed until around 12:30 PM. In total, I spent approximately 3.5 hours at the service center for a Service A appointment, which I find completely unacceptable, especially given the originally quoted timeframe. I understand unexpected delays can happen, but better communication and time management would have greatly improved the experience.

I contacted the dealership to notify them of the issue, and it took them over two weeks to respond to me. The salesman, Abdul, whom I had previously spoken to about the issue, reached out to me and asked if anyone in service had contacted me. I informed him that they had not. He informed me that this was inappropriate, and that he would reach out to me. He did not in fact reach out to me. And then contacted the service manager, Tom, and he told me to bring the vehicle in to have the windshield replaced. We took the vehicle in, and now I am being told that the sales department needs to cut the service department a check, or I will have to pay my deductible to have the windshield replaced. To add insult to injury, I sent my little sister to the dealership with a very next day to purchase a vehicle. She did not notice, but the very next day after her purchase, I inspected the vehicle, and there was a crack on her windshield as well. If you're going to purchase a used vehicle from this lot, make absolutely certain that you were going to inspect the vehicle meticulously. I now have to have the windshield replaced at my own expense. I will be reporting this dealership to the Better Business Bureau, and I will be taking them to Small Claims Court. The three pictures that I have provided are of the cracked windshield and of the text messages between Abdul and myself. See you in court, Mercedes-Benz of Sacramento.

I brought my BMW to Niello specifically because they were running a $450 battery replacement…read morespecial. Otherwise, I likely would have gone elsewhere. The communication was confusing from the beginning. The battery was the primary reason my car was there, yet after drop-off I started receiving messages about an oil change, inspection, filters and other maintenance items and had to clarify again why the vehicle was actually there. The work was completed and I was eventually told my car was "all set." I had been out of town for the week and had already told my service advisor, Zahan, that I would be back over the weekend. I returned Saturday night. On Sunday, I called because I needed the completed car for work Monday morning. I knew Service was closed. I was not asking anyone to perform service. I had a spare key and was willing to pay immediately by card or cash. John was helpful and actually checked for the key. Jared later told me that "sales, service, and parts are their own separate things." That statement pretty much sums up the problem. I then spoke with William, the sales manager on duty. To his credit, he initially went to ask questions. But when I offered to bring cash because he said he could not accept Service payment, he told me I was an "excellent salesperson." Later, when I questioned why Sales could accept payment to sell a vehicle but could not help accept payment to release my completed vehicle, he said, "I'm sure you can talk me into saying yes to just about anything." I wasn't trying to sell anybody anything. I was simply trying to get my own car back. I offered a spare key, card payment, cash, and asked whether Service management could be contacted. Instead, the conversation became focused on why the departments were separate. There may have been a legitimate policy reason the vehicle could not be released Sunday. I can accept that. What I cannot accept is a dealership operating like Sales, Service and Parts are separate companies instead of one business responsible for its customer. I did not leave my BMW with "Service." I left it with Niello BMW Sacramento. And if this is how the Sales Department treats someone who came in as a Service customer, why would I ever want to buy my next vehicle from them? A service customer today can easily be a sales customer tomorrow. This experience did the opposite of building that relationship.

Most of the cars are older, have high miles and are cars that certified dealers would not sell themselves. Do your research...ask for the Car Fax, have car checked with a mechanic and/or compare Kelly Blue book, before buying. It's worth the extra few thousand dollars to buy from a certified dealership, because you could be spending that extra thousands of dollars in repairs anyways, on a car from here. Don't end up in my situation!!!
