Bought a used Toyota Prius which turns out to be a great car. The whole process was smooth and completed within 2 hours.

As an out-of-town buyer, I was skeptical about making such a large purchase (~$80K) without seeing the vehicle in person. However, George and his business partner Julia completely eased my concerns, even answering my late-night questions. George walked me through every step of the process and did several virtual showings, being very honest--even pointing out tiny interior scratches most people wouldn't bother mentioning. I really appreciated their sales approach--never pushy, just focused on making the whole experience pleasant. I had originally planned to fly in and pick up the car, but due to the cost, I decided to have it shipped. George and his team went the extra mile, coordinating with the shipping company (even on weekends!) and teaching me a few money-saving tricks as an out-of-town buyer. George was extremely thorough, taking tons of photos as the car was loaded onto the delivery truck to ensure no damage. The car arrived exactly as described, and I couldn't be happier. Thank you, George and Julia, for making this such a fantastic buying experience--I'm absolutely loving my new car! I'd definitely purchase from SV Auto Sales again when the opportunity arises.

Started off as a curious interest given the nature of a natural car enthusiast. No pressure no feelings of obligation or the need to by being professional or courteous but in my own time when I m ready. The team @ sv auto sales were always prompt in delivering answers, providing the ideal customer service/support, and left a everlasting impression of how liberating and innocent the whole car buying process should be and if standards was mandatory, then their business model would be mandatory & implemented as a standard. I came in highly anxious and stressed on no part of their own faults and was anticipating that uncomfortable feeling or as If you absolutely will not find a better deal so don't walk away or the endless back and forth negotiations with side bars of bad mouthing competitors and of course the guilty conscious of well, I did it again and managed to fool myself throwing my time away and including sales staff all for the sake of just once getting over on a dealership or better end of the stick and let's not forget the hidden gem we all long for while not leaving our pockets empty but a savory taste of joy and victory post bargain of a lifetime deal. The seller was a little old....you get the picture. Unread all the above. Fresh clean slate. Your review will be posted after visiting sv auto sales. Cheers! read more

SV Auto Sales - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Orangevale, California

We had a fantastic experience purchasing a car from SV Auto Sales in Orangevale. From start to finish, their team made the process smooth, transparent, and pressure-free. We first visited SV Auto Sales on a Friday, where we met with Emil, our sales representative. Communication was clear and timely, and what stood out most was the relaxed, no-pressure approach. Emil handed us the keys to the two vehicles we were interested in and encouraged us to take our time checking them out--no hovering, no sales tactics. After spending about 90 minutes looking over the cars, we decided to take them for a test drive. Emil only needed a copy of our daughter's driver's license (this would be her first car) and, unlike every other dealership we visited, he let us take the test drives alone. That freedom allowed us to speak openly as a family, and we truly appreciated it. When we returned, Emil answered our questions but never pushed for a sale. Instead, he emphasized the importance of our daughter finding a car she felt great about, no matter where we purchased it. His honesty and transparency left a lasting impression. Both cars were in excellent condition, especially considering their age (12 years old). While they had a few minor exterior blemishes, the interiors were immaculate--like new. Both vehicles were also very clean and ran and drove great, which was impressive for their age. Pricing was very fair, sometimes even great, depending on the online pricing tool we checked. We also had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners, Georges, who was friendly and welcoming. Throughout the process, we communicated with Julia (his wife and co-owner), who was incredibly responsive, clear, and courteous over email. After visiting a few other dealerships on Saturday, we called Julia to see if we could come back for a second round of test drives. Even though they were scheduled to close in under an hour, she welcomed us without hesitation. When we arrived, Emil was just as friendly and helpful as the day before. Our daughter was deciding between the two cars, and the second test drives helped her make the right choice. Long story short, we purchased a vehicle and couldn't be happier with both the process and the outcome. Thank you, Emil, for letting us shop on our own terms and making this such a positive experience. SV Auto Sales is truly a gem, and we highly recommend them! read more

This family owned Car dealer was great! Met the owner Julia, very helpful not pushy like other small car dealers Made me and my family feel welcomed. Also the Sales Rep that helped us (Emile) was very honest and straightforward with us. The day we arrived to purchased the Truck Experian was down so we weren't able to do a credit check. Mind you I did live 3hrs away, he offered to get the truck delivered to us free of charge. So we wouldn't have to make two trips. It was a very great experience! Will definitely recommend other that are looking for a vehicle check them out! I bought a 2005 ford f250 for a great deal from them! read more

Great service by George. Very helpful and seems to have very clean, low mileage cars ready to go.

I was looking to get another work truck after mine was totaled. I found a nice Silverado 2500 Duramax here and got a great deal. Super nice people and very straight up. Very helpful. I highly recommend them. read more

Why 5 stars when (so far) I've not bought a car from them? Their remarkably friendly attitude, they're accommodating my test drive and the low-pressure, honest way they dealt with me. It's rare to leave a car dealer feeling like you want to take them to dinner. Really nice people trying to help you find the right car for you. Give them a shot! read more

Great service. Happy kid. Got a great deal on a 20 year old, pristine Jeep. Such a great car that dad keeps stealing it from his 16 year old! read more

Georges is FANTASTIC!! I test drove one of his Priuses on my own and thought the MPG was a little low, so he offered to drive the car and give me tips as we drove through the streets of Santa Clara. He's also such an incredibly nice and generous guy who helps you beyond any sale. I couldn't buy that Prius in time (it was sold that night), and yet he's still offering to help me find a car I like either through him or someone I found through Craigslist even if he gets no money out of it. You can tell he really takes care of anyone he meets. He's a great human being. read more

I recently just purchased a vehicle from here and I was beyond impressed not only with their service but their product great Prices on your vehicle I will be returning .. read more

Horrible service. Made an appointment to view and buy a used JEEP on Monday. I was told i could not look at it because it was being fixed. They scheduled an appointment for me on Tuesday to view and purchase. On Monday night i was told that someone else walked in without an appointment and purchased the vehicle. Where is the integrity in that? I would not recommend these people. read more

They are a trustworthy dealer to transact business with. Car buying is not the most enjoyable experience in general but when a dealer makes sure you as the customer are treated fairly, honestly and in your best interest it makes you confident in your purchase from them. This is how they act. I purchased a car that had some issues and even after they sale they fixed things right up and I'm extremely happy with the way I was treated. I would do business with them again anytime! read more

My wife and I bought a truck from George and it was so easy... The man was very easy to work with and very honest !! Hard to find someone or a business that has the integrity that he and his business as shown towards us. If we could give him more than a 5 star rating we would !! That being said if we can buy another car in the future we will be looking him up first.. Thank you George for the fine experience! Good luck in your endeavors. Kind regards David and Patti Nelson. read more

Was able to get a 5 year old Toyota with only 22,000 miles on it! Looked, drove and even smelled like a new car! The purchase took less than 45 minutes for all paperwork. They don't have a huge selection of used vehicles, but I was very, very pleased with the car I bought! read more

We bought a used Honda Civic from these lovely focus and are very pleased with our experience. We found the car through their website and had a family member who lived near by check it out first. We then went in person and they allowed us to take the car to our local mechanic for a full inspection. When we purchased they were kind and thoughtful while negotiating. They included the repairs our mechanic thought and had them completed that day. They also took car of registration on the spot. I'd definitely recommend! read more

We just purchased a Jeep Wrangler for my son that's going to college In Santa Cruz from Silicon Valley Auto Sales, Georges was so easy to deal with, no BS. We got the jeep at a great price and my son he's been very happy with it. It's a small shop but they have clean cars at great price! read more

Highly recommend Silicon Valley Auto Sales! I got a Subaru from Julia and Georges, who are so kind and knowledgeable, and spent a long time with me helping me choose what kind of car fit my lifestyle best. They have a nice variety of cars to choose from that are affordable and reliable. I ended up with a Subaru Forester and am so happy with it! I took it on a road trip to Montana and visited my family in Southern California for the holidays and had no problems whatsoever! At some point, I was struggling to figure out how to hook up my bluetooth to the car and called them up for help. They took the time to help me and were so friendly and patient (even when I probably sounded like an idiot) and told me to call back should anything else arise. I would definitely check them out - they made buying a car such a pleasant experience. read more

I highly recommend SV Auto Sales. I am in the market for a diesel truck that can pull my travel trailer. Saw a notification that a Ford F-250 XLT was recently posted at this dealer. These small used car dealers are a mixed bag at best with poor reputations, but I assure you that is not the case with SV Auto Sales. I met Georges and he was friendly, no pressure. The lot and his office was very clean. All of the vehicles looked well maintained. Upon inquiring about the truck he let me know the details about it - the good and the bad. He had a CarFax available to check it's history. I took the truck for a test drive and it was solid. Strong engine, no turbo lag or whine. The brakes had recently been replaced and worked perfectly. The steering was true, no pulling either way. I did a visual check for diesel blow by and it looked to be functioning normally. I did notice a couple minor issues, but nothing out of the ordinary for a 13 year old truck. I spoke with Georges about the vehicle and told him I was very interested. He printed a final price sheet after a bit of negotiating. It was a very fair price for the vehicle, especially during these challenging times trying to find a vehicle post COVID. We came to an agreement but it was the test drive kept Georges at the lot after hours (I came in after work) so I let him know I'd return with my family the next day to complete the transaction when my wife and family could come and take a look. That evening, I ran the VIN to double-check the towing capacity and because it was the base model F-250 (an XLT) the capacity was a bit lower than I had expected (8300lbs vs 12,500 of the other models I had previously test drove - the Lariat package and FX4). Unfortunately, this was too low to manage my travel trailer needs so I discussed with Georges at SV Auto Sales the next day. He offered another vehicle on his lot with higher capacity in my price range but admitted it was 2WD but I need a 4WD. He said he would keep in touch with me about any future trucks he might get in. Although we were not able to complete the transaction Georges was honest and transparent through the entire process and let me know that he would be an open resource for me to discuss any vehicles I might find elsewhere. What a stand up guy! Again, I highly recommend SV Auto Sales. read more

I inquired about a vehicle on their website and their response was swift. I live in Solano County and Julia sent photos once the vehicle arrived on their lot. Also, this dealership stands behind their vehicles with a 3 month warranty. I didn't purchase the car because it wasn't the color that we wanted; however, given the high level of customer service and warranty - I wouldn't hesitate purchasing from Silicon Valley Auto Sales. So far, the best used car dealership I've talk to. Thank you. read more

Let me preface by saying that I'm not a huge fan of the whole car buying process. With that said, I can tell you that I had a very positive experience with Georges at Silicon Valley Auto Sales. Georges is a class act. He is knowledgeable, honest and truly values his customers. He sells quality used cars at a great price. He wants you to be happy with your purchase and have a good car buying experience. read more

Julia and George were wonderful to work with. I just bought my first vehicle with them and they were very accommodating, friendly, and I never felt pressured. I bought the car for far cheaper than I could have at any other used dealership and I couldn't be happier with it. read more

Great experience! Scheduling an appt. was very easy. I liked the car and the test drive went well. We noticed that there was an issue with brake pads and George went ahead and fixed the issue right away. He is very honest and genuinely wanted me to drive away in a reliable car. read more

So here's our story. My girlfriend needed a car asap since her younger brother took her SUV (you know how teens are). So we saw their ad online that had a Subaru for sale. The very next morning (Sunday) I shot an email to them expecting that I would not get a response until the next day. I was wrong. I was greeted by a pleasant email from Julia within the next hour and informed me that they had availability in the afternoon. So my girlfriend and I had enough time to grab lunch and head right over to them. The location looks like it can potentially be cramped during business hours, but we came during the weekend so parking was a breeze. They are located at the back right corner of a plaza of various auto related organizations. We finally met Georges, Julia, and bubsy (cutie dogo!). They are friendly and honest about their cars. Georges provided as much information as he can about the car and he even let us test drive the car on our own! Overall, we had a great experience with buying a car from them. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking to buy a used car for a fair price. I also want to add that we've gone through our fair share of bad experiences with used dealers, but these two makes up for all the times we had feeling belittled and unappreciated. They do not make you feel pressured into buying and they also make you feel very comfortable around them. Bubsy was just the icing on the cake since we're both hardcore dog lovers! read more

I had the pleasure of working with George and Julia for a specific vehicle they had advertised through carguru's website. I contact them via email and received a prompt reply from Julia. I listed some key questions and she thoroughly answered them to my satisfaction and we agreed to set up an appointment for an initial test drive. I met George who is as nice as can be and after going over the vehicle, I did a very thorough test drive. If you want a no pressure experience, you can't go wrong with George and Julia. The price was very fair based on Kelly Blue book as well as competitive similar vehicles on Craig's list though don't forget, you do have to pay the CA sales tax so you need to factor that in. Although we did not end up with a permanent sale/purchase, I would not hesitate for one second going back to George and Julia if another vehicle catches my eye. They both are warm and accommodating if you read the other reviews. I can't more highly recommend then for your business! read more
