This dealer is the best they are very nice they help u as much as they can highly recomend!

Ojo con este lugar! Fuimos a ver un carro y llevamos a mi cuñado que no habla español pero lo entiende. El señor mostrándonos el carro nos explicó que según el primero inspecciónan los carros antes de ponerlos a la venta y mencionó que incluso los que reciben de fuera del estado no los venden hasta que no"estén listos". Mi cuñado, mi sobrina, y yo escuchamos lo mismo. Mi cuñado al preguntarle si el carro que estábamos viendo era de otro estado el señor se puso nervioso y negó haber hecho el comentario. Mi cuñado en frente de el señor nos explicó que muchos dealers de reventa traen carros de otros estados con daños causados por agua que causan muchos problemas. Los tres escuchamos lo que dijo el vendedor y al negarlo nos dio mucha desconfianza. Encima de eso por ser mujer tratando de negociar la tratan a uno como si no supiera de lo que está hablando. Guarden su dinero y vallan a otro lado. Y no compren carros de otro estado. Be careful with this place! We went to see a car and we took my brother-in-law who doesn't speak Spanish but understands it. The man showing us the car explained to us that, they inspect the cars before putting them up for sale and mentioned that even those they receive from out of state do not get put out for sale until they are "ready." My brother-in-law, my niece, and I heard the same thing. When my brother-in-law asked him in English if the car we were looking at was from another state, the man got nervous and denied having made the comment even after I repeated the question in Spanish and his comment. My brother-in-law in front of the man explained to us that many resale dealers bring cars from other states with water damage that cause a lot of irreparable problems. The three of us listened to what the seller said and when he denied it, he lost our trust. On top of that, because you are a woman trying to negotiate, they treat you as if you don't know what you are talking about. Save your money and go somewhere else. And don't buy cars from another state. read more

Ah y cuando les mencionas todos los malos reviews que tienen acá "juran que no es de él dealer de ellos" SON LO PEOR read more

The worst used car dealer ship that my husband and I have ever dealt with these people are con artists and we regret every day purchasing our vehicle through South Gate Motors. I would NEVER NEVER I MEAN ABSOLUTELY NEVER RECOMMEND this car company to anyone even if they're on their last leg. Take it from me I most certainly learned my lesson. I can definitely see that they won't be in business for long. read more

Worse place to purchase your car. They give you rundowns and worse of this, they want you to pay your monthly payments but yet they wouldn't be able to fix your problems. Bought two and both had defects almost at the same time. The car I was driving, I almost got killed cause the passenger's side wheel came off and luckily I was on the street about to enter the Fwy. It also had a leak on the coolant and make noise. The sales person who I called name Nelson i told him about the faults it had and just laugh and said, "at least you didn't die" in a sarcastic laugh‍. On the other car it stopped suddenly and when we called again Nelson did a remark and said "did it burn or something." That's been unprofessional and heartless NEVER WILL COME OR RECOMMEND CARS FROM HERE AGAIN. read more

Bought my car here less than 3 months ago, already been in the shop in total about 3 weeks due to a bad transmission, I've spend over 400 dollars on Lyfts and Ubers as they will not cover a rental or give me a loaner, this is my only car, I'm a full time student and employee so this has set me back very much. On top of that, they tried to charge me $1500 to replace the transmission in this car that I just bought. You're way better off going to another dealership, this place is a scam. Tony and Nelson are the worst people to do business with. Watch out even the gas cap that came with the car was not properly fitted to the car, had to replace it myself. This place is a joke, I highly advise that anyone buy anything these people are selling read more

Please do not purchase a car from this dealership. My daughter was in Los Angeles and purchased her first car from this dealership. She was so excited. The cars check engine light came on right away and the dealership declined to make any reports. My daughter had been making her payments on time and the dealership repo'ed her car today due to her registration being behind. They broke into her locked parking underground garage. She showed them her receipt that she had paid for her car note and they still will not release her car. They refused to tell her where her care is, but are 1,500 dollars for her to get it back with out no explanation. I have already contacted the Better Business Bureau. I am planning on filing a class action law suit against South Gate Motors if anyone interested. My new goal in life is to put these con artist out of business. They should be ashamed of themselves. read more

If you are planning to buy a car here please take your hard earned money somewhere else. You will regret buying a car here. Just read all the other reviews. I wish we would of. Save yourself time money and disappointment and don't buy at South gate motors. read more

They deleted my review. But Back in 2021 I was desperate for a car. I was 3 months pregnant at the time too. Nelson was the one who helped me, I ended up buying a car from there. The day I drove home everything was good, the next day I went to work and it shut off on me, I called them and they sent a tow truck guy and they took it and the next day they said everything's fine now. I went to pick up with my father because he had told me it was a lemon car by all these reviews I had just read.. we spoke to the boss on the phone in NELSON'S office and he was so rude didn't even care I was pregnant either, he was fine with us taking him to court. He said it him self, so I was stuck because they didn't want to give me my 3500 dp back. So I was stuck with this junk. The next day AGAIN IT SHUT OFF! This time I called crying and just doing the most to get my money back or some type of help. These people have no feelings, they don't care! AGAIN they sent someone to pick it up again, and this time they gave me a loaner for 2 days. I didn't even have the car for more then a week, and when I got it back it was fine for a couple of hours... till me and my boyfriend were driving back home and it shut off causing a ACCIDENT with another car filled with kids and a baby..... these people don't care. My insurance ended up buying my car, they kept my deposit. Then they canceled my contract. DON'T EVER GO HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RUN! THIS PLACE SHOULD BE SHUT THE FUCK DOWN!!!!!!!!! I will be getting a private investigator to close this shit hole down! read more

Ceaser was the best! In and out pretty quickly and was able to get a nice car! I am glad I came read more

My Institutionalized Brother brought a car from here along with a Co-Sign, good luck geia car payment, they'll let anybody buy a car

Worst place to buy a car ever ! Bought a car here and it's been nothing but problems since day 1 and they don't help you they do a Mickey Mouse on all their cars and sell them do not buy from here !! Stay away unless you like getting scammed by a bunch of morons read more

Warning!! DO NOT BUY HERE!!! Bought a car about 3 months ago and since day one, the check engine light turned on. Also the car felt a bit accelerated. Took it back to the dealer and supposedly they took it to fix it who knows where. Check engine light was off for about 3 days. This place is a complete joke. They just reset the check engine light. When you go back they give you attitude and they make you wait. But when is time for payments they're on you. Took the car back 2 other times and again same thing. They said my car had a recall, and the transmission needed to be replaced. But they said it had already been done once so the dealer didn't want to do it again for free. They made us buy the warranty for 5 years and now we have to take it to one of their shops to get the transmission replaced. But we don't trust them anymore. I wished I would've read all these reviews before we bought this car. They should be out of business, not professionals at all. Please don't buy at this piece of crap dealer. read more

I bought a truck cash for $12,000.00 and 2 days later the check engine light came on and also the the air conditioning stop working, within those few days i think i used the truck twice. So i took it back to ask them to have there people look at it and fix the problem cause i shouldnt be having any problems. They wouldnt do anything for me cause i payed cash, so its my own problem now. Horrible service dont buy your car there read more

Never and I mean never buy a car from this ripoff wanna be dealer, you will just end up buying a salvaged car with a illegal generated paperwork. The staff is terrible, the so called unlicensed mechanics just do Mickey Mouse service to sell the autos, the so called manager (owner) is nothing but a weasel. The receptionist is nothing but a failed x dancer with no class and certainly no professional skills needed in the customer service world. This company is under the Perusa business name! Stay away unless you like being robbed and sold garbage! read more

I got an Audi A4 2011 from them I had to put oil in the engin every week for the first year after that it was every two day I ask for a new engine they tried to make me pay for the engine I threaten to sue them they gave me my down payment back fuck this car lot read more

Terrible service. Talked to the manager first and let him know I was financing. He shows me the car I came to look at and tells me the price. Run my credit to try and come to a deal and he comes out with a price that's 50% more than what I was originally offered. Tried to claim the original offer was the cash price even though he knew from the get go that I was financing. Not to mention the first price was above blue book value. Terrible business. Terrible prices. 0/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND! read more

Bad service nothing good to say about this dealer never buy a car with them the sake cars that the engine light turns on after u buy it and they don't do anything to fix it at all but for the payment there on top officials and when wang to talk to supervicer never there or he is to busy to take cares off business my friend just bought a car with them they sold the car without the right mirror and some other problems and they want to charge him of his shit cars they have be careful with that who ever goes there to buy a car not good idea it it anywhere but not there read more

Highly dissatisfied/disappointed. They have some nice cars, but are worse than useless to deal with. - Salesman didn't know anything about the car, including simple features. - We weren't allowed to test drive until we talked price (extremely odd). Price sheet they provided for an 11 year old car included more fees than I paid for a new car in 2008. Seller would not negotiate on price (which was listed well above blue book and, although we wanted the vehicle badly, it wasn't in as great of shape as it should have been even to ask for blue book) and never did allow a test drive. This would have been a cash deal for them. They simply did not seem interested in making the slightest effort to sell a car. read more

This place is a joke, I bought a car about 6 months ago and the minute I was arriving home the check engine light turns on.. I called the next morning and they said to just bring it back they will look at it.. when I got there I demanded another car to use so they gave a loaner.. I live close by so I would drive by almost every day for 2 weeks and my car was just parked there at the same place I left it.. so I decided to call and see what was going on.. no one new anything said that the mechanic was waiting on a part from the dealer.. blah blah blah.. to make long story short the owner Cesar said he wasn't the owner he would always hide, the peruana with the big pony tail will always say he wasn't available.. they gave me the car 3 weeks after and the engine light still kept coming back on I made about 4 payments I requested a credit report from Transunion and they never reported it to the credit Bureau.. so I went back to the dealer with my phone recording everyone demanding my money back, all the payments I made plus my deposit.. and I told them that I have an investigator already on the case and if they didn't give me back my money they will have no legs to stand on at court.. so the owner Cesar came out with a check book and wrote a check for $6700 I told him nooo.. I want cash just exactly how I would make the payments.. so he sent the peruana to the bank and she brought my cash and I walk out with all my money.. don't trust this POS dealer.. read more

Terrible service. Whoever their receptionist is has a very bad attitude. She's rude and disrespectful. They put tracking devices in your cat without telling you and the so called manager is incompetent and rude. Don't buy cars from here. I learned the hard way. read more

Worst car dealer ever recommended stay the Fuck. Away they sold me messed up car with engine. Making noise and didnt have the car 5 months before engine blew read more

This place is absolutley a no no! They advertised a car in autotraders, they put the price of the car on its windows. We wanted to test drive the car they said first see if we can agree on the numbers. So we sit down and sales person did the paper work and went to the manager. The manager add 1000 dollars to the advertised price on the car . When we said why it is more than adverised this is the reply we got" you guys dont want to buy extended warranty we have to make money so we increased the price" We just left. This is a rip of place. Just be carefull with the pricing . read more

Purchased my first ever car from them December 24th. It was my Christmas present to myself... Left the dealer with just enough gas to get to a gas station. It took me around 10 minutes to put $30 worth of gas. The nozzle kept ejecting. I didn't think much of it, thinking maybe the pump I chose just wasn't working. 6 days later, I went to a different gas station to pump gas, and it wouldn't let me put more than $8 worth of gas, though it needed gas. I thought it was strange, then again thought maybe the pump I was using just wasn't working so I moved to a different pump and this time it wouldn't let me put more than $2. I took it to the Nissan dealer and they said the tube where you add gas was damaged. The next day the engine service light turned on and my brother, who is mechanic, ran a code check, turns out a new transmission is needed too. I'm returning the car tomorrow. Not worth it. read more

Dam I drove by this dealer few days ago when I was in la visiting family and seen a Charger I thought I was going to go get, but shit after reading all the reviews I really would be a fool to still go back lol...I mean not even 1 good review SMH read more

Do not I repeat DO NOT do business with this dealer! Long story short we purchased a truck from them and in less than a week the check engine light comes on. The vehicle was still under warranty so after many and I mean many calls to the salesperson , manager and owner they agreed to look at the truck and claimed their mechanic didn't find anything wrong. I had to take it to my personal mechanic and had him do a diagnostic and only then they "fixed" the issue. Guess what, the egine light ended up coming up again! We then came to find out that they gave us a ridiculously high interest rate when the one the salesperson gave us was much much lower. When I asked what the high number was on the contract they claimed it was the APR reflecting all the one time miscellaneous fees but our true rate was lower . This was in-house financing so we thought we would be able to come to a friendly solution with the owner because his own salesperson told the owner she did indeed tell us the rate was lower, he refused to go by it and he never responded to any of my calls. We ended up returning the vehicle because there is no way we will give our money to a person who doesn't conduct an honest business. I wish I would have found these reviews earlier as I went through all of this ordeal while I was 8 months pregnant and still working so imagine how inconvenient it was to have to make so many attempts and not be able to come to a solution. Places like this should not be in business! read more

Never ever again.. I spoke with there receptionist and told her I will take my payment Friday and the said okay that's fine I was only a week late, and in the evening sent someone to come and get it.. I will definitely call in the morning and raise fckn hell.. That's not right the receptionist should have told me its not okay instead of agreeing with me.. That B! read more

i bought a dodge caravan and the dealer stated that this van has no problems and it has been blessed the the lord and the pope and even had me sign a ford stating that the van has no problems. on the 3rd day it got the check engine light. i txt the dealer the pic and when i showed up he went into actor mode, giving me the stressed out, oh im panicked BS......stated that his boss is demanding $500 dollars more up front and $1,000 dollars more as a down payment. I told him i barely have $100 dollars on me and i am not able to give him the money, he took the van back immediately and said then you have no car. and i had boxes i had to deliver still in the van, he stated he has another van that might work better for me, i tried it and took it to the mechanic when the engine started shaking and the engine light came on. I went to the mechanic he stated it had a bad rack & pinion. they fixed it, so i went to pick it up and that same day i asked the mechanic, is it working now and he said yes....drove my kids home and a block from their house the car completely died. He takes it to another mechanic in compton and they stated it was the transmission. and this comedian of a dealer is blaming me for it, states that i drove it on the wrong gear and i burned the engine. And wants to charge me $500 of my $1,000 deposit because i drove it and destroyed the car. read more

I called on a truck and this lady put me on hold for 8 minutes and did not even say sorry. So rude and they lost a sale over her. I called back and told whoever it was she transferred me too so I told him that he lost a sale because of her. He was also rude and these people have no kind of customer service skills what so ever and like I said did not one person apologize. Don't go ever here these people couldn't even answered my question about what I was looking for, I do not see how they are opened being rude and unknowledgeable. STAY AWAY read more
