    Scratched wheels
    Alan W.

    Roger over at detailing is great, but service was awful. 1) Service scratched the crap out of the inside of my wheels when they were removing the old wheel weights. They told me it was normal. Sure, maybe one scratch, but I might've been able to do a better job with a screwdriver. 2) The balance on all my wheels was 0.5-1 oz off. 3) None of the lug nuts were torqued. Not as big of an issue, but still noteworthy.

    I had my wheels, tires, and headlights changed and installed here. The service was quick and efficient. The mechanics (David and Peter) were knowledgeable and experienced. They answered all my questions in detail and gave me advice. I will definitely come back.

    Wheels, headlights.

    Got my wheels, tires and headlights replaced and installed here. Very quick and prompt service. The guys here (David, Peter) are very knowledgeable and experienced. They answered all my questions with detail and gave recommendations. Definitely a repeat customer here.

    Tires

    Highly recommended if you're looking to get some new tires, couldn't be happier with the fast shipping to their store. Don't hesitate to contact Tony Wu. I ordered 2 sets of Falken tires from him and never disappoints.

    The best car buying experience I have ever had by far! Entire process from initial contact to…read morereceiving my car was frictionless and effortless. Excellent communication, service, and timely replies. I received a significant discount on the OTD price, even when including the BuySide Auto fee. On top of that, I NEVER had to step into a dealership, talk to a salesperson directly, spend hours playing the "let me ask my manager" game, or have to talk to a Finance manager and repeatedly say NO to unnecessary options. All communication was easily done through email and text, although phone and in-person contact was also available. Process starts with completing a convenient online request. From there, Kim contacted me to fully understand my wishlist, range of optional requirements, and any non-negotiables. After reaching out to their dealer network, within a day she provided a list of potential matches with estimated OTD prices, which included some in SoCal available for transfer to the Bay Area and cars still in production with estimated availability dates. I had a lot of questions and some requests and Kim was very responsive and instrumental in relaying them to the dealer and advocating for me. Even my request to remove all dealer installed options was negotiated by Kim and granted by the dealer with no hassle on my end. I paid the BuySide Auto fee to reserve the car for purchase and when the car was available I opted to pickup at their office in SF. Home delivery to SF is also currently no charge, while delivery outside of the city is available with a modest fee. Upon first contact, I asked if weekend pickup or delivery was available, since their normal hours are on weekdays. Kim made note of it and remembered my preference even after the sale was completed. Chris was able to make himself available for Saturday pickup! We took a walk around the car took a look inside. We spent no more than 10 minutes reviewing and signing paperwork, received my keys, and I was off with my brand new car! Both Kim and Chris were great to work with and I have no hesitation in working with them again for future car purchases.

    Chris was an excellent resource and provided me with too shelf service in buying a new Mini. Super…read morepatient, very responsive and provided a seamless experience. Absolutely worth it.

Never received a call. I called again and was told to bring it in first thing Thursday, so I arrived at 10am and no one knew anything. I called the owner and let him know he said he would communicate to his team and I also inquired about a error code I am getting for my left low light/high beam that has been there since I purchased the vehicle even after changing out the light bulbs, and was told again he would communicate to his team and have them check it out. I then let the guys in the shop about the detailing. I tried to ask the tech about bringing in my other vehicles for oil changes and again no information other than there hourly rate. Once the office was opened around 10:15 I was asked the same information I gave the tech about my vehicles I wanted oil changes on and he proceeded to leave it with the same tech to give me a quote. I am literally jumping through hoops trying to get information to spend money with this dealership and now will most certainly not return. Oh and the owner pulled up as I was waiting for an answer regarding checking the light and not a care in the world he walked right passed me without even acknowledging me. I was then told to come back when I have an appointment for a diagnosis. It makes sense how his staff is acting if that's the vibe he carries around. So all in all very poor customer service.

    1-Star Review I had…read morea very disappointing experience at this dealership. The vehicle I was looking at was advertised around $22,000. I told them I could put $5,000 down, and the financing worksheet they presented showed $514.05 per month for 72 months at 17.84% APR. That means 72 payments would total approximately $37,012, and with my $5,000 down payment, I would pay approximately $42,012 total over the life of the loan. I understand that interest is part of financing, especially depending on credit, but this was far more than I was comfortable paying for a $22,000 vehicle. The worksheet also included a $1,547 maintenance agreement and $1,095 GAP insurance. I told them I did not want these optional products and wanted them removed. I did not feel that my request was being respected or that they were interested in structuring the deal the way I wanted. What frustrated me even more was when I asked to keep a copy of the estimate/worksheet that had been presented to me. I was told it was private dealership paperwork, and they took it back. As a customer considering a major financial purchase, that made me very uncomfortable. I came prepared to buy a vehicle and put $5,000 down, but I walked away because I did not feel comfortable with how the financing and optional products were handled. My advice to other buyers: carefully review the sale price, APR, amount financed, optional products, monthly payment, loan term, and total amount you will pay before signing anything. Don't focus only on the monthly payment.
