Crooked Mechanic/sales man. Be Careful. Ariel is a POS! I came to get my rear shocks/Struts replaced. Ariel worked on my car and when I got my car back I noticed a squeak or tapping like sound coming from the rear. I paid no attention and thought maybe they need to be broken in. I paid over $2,000 and about 4 months later the sound got noticeably louder but only when I went over speed bumbs. I went back to his shop and said I still have this weird noise when I drive over speed bumps. Ariel asked if I had my recipe as he couldn't "FIND" a record of one in his system (sure buddy) . I didn't think I needed it, since we both knew he worked on my car at his shop. He said all warranties are voided since it was over a year. I should him that I called 9 months ago and that's how long ago he worked on my car. I told him if it's something else I'll pay for whatever else needs to be worked on. He said he would lift my car and check it out. 30 minutes later he said he didn't see nothing wrong with my vehicle and that his work is good (sure buddy). He said let me show you what the sound is. In his parking lot, not on the lift. He started kicking my exhaust very aggressively and (was talking to me very aggressively as well) said when u go over a bump that's what's making the noise. I said OKaaaaay, whatever bro and left since he was being very None professionally. I went on a trip to Solvang with my family in my car and started noticing my car didn't feel stable on the highway. I figured maybe I needed to get new tires, or change my brakes and rotors. I replaced all that and took a friend to Solvang as I had such a good time 2 months prior. My friend noticed the sound and how my car would feel unstable/shaky. Solvang is a 4 hour trip, which I did twice. I took my car to the dealership to check everything including my suspension since something hasn't felt right and the sound never went away. You will see in the pictures that ARIEL did not bolt my stabilizer bar and the sound came from it bouncing off my dual Exhaust Pipe. He knew that's where the sound came from cause he was kicking my exhaust to show me where it was coming from. I don't think he even put it on the lift. This guy is playing with people's lives. He buys cars, mickey mouse fixes them and resales them. DO NOT TRUST THIS SHISTY MECHANIC. The dealership put the bults in for free as they said this was very dangerous and at higher speed could of been bad. Especially, being rear wheel drive. They also said the Struts in the rear that World Motors worked on are starting to leak. I don't even think he put in new Struts. I gave every opportunity for Arial to find what was wrong with my car. I was cool and collective when he was being an azs and unprofessional. It took everything in me to not confront this peace of work after finding out what he did since I had my family in the car and felt my car fishtail a few times. He's lucky nothing happened. Ariel is lucky I don't tell Sebastian and Ursula. read more

When you bring cars back in, that have to be repaired for some reason or another they'll partially repaired. They won't do really what it takes to do the job and I noticed that after I put my car in the shop that I purchased from them and had it checked out so be real careful going there that's all I can tell you when I recommend it read more

Hi everyone, I hate to be this person and feel like I'm the bad guy at the end of the day but my silence is over with and I feel like the world needs to know that there are some terrible people that fix cars and sell cars and people who don't not even need to own a business. Please take my advice and go somewhere else, do not get your car fixed here or even buy from this business. I had purchased a 2016 Audi a3 from the owner . And I trusted him and everyone made him out to be a good person, in the beginning our relationship was good everything was fine . I have bought used cars and when you get a used car it has a few issues because it's not new but when somebody is telling you the car is fine you believe it's fine but in this case it wasn't, the car was a ticking time bomb . I bought the car left and the car literally told me it was low on oil but I thought it needed an oil change.... But who sells someone a car and doesn't change the oil for almost $11,000 . I called they said bring it in I paid $145 for it got it done thinking it was fine . The car told me it needed oil every 2 weeks or less. Car finally misfired I took it to another mechanic. The other mechanic said there was a bunch wrong with it costing to get it mechanically sound almost $6000. Ariel lied to me. That is the owner. He told me to my face at his establishment that there was nothing wrong with the car that I was just anxious. Enjoy the car it's gonna last me for a while boom got my second opinion third opinion and found out he was a liar please learn from my mistake. Thanks to anyone who read my review. I didn't even own the car for less than five months. read more

Very honest and reliable mechanic. great prices and easy to deal with. These folks are like family.

I always come here for any major vehicle service needed. I recently had a new radiator installed along with transmission and rear differential service done at a price that couldn't be beaten. Ariel is a class act businessman and provides quality work for a fair price. Highly recommended read more

Got great service in fixing my car front damage . The owner is very knowledgeable and professional

My family and I have been brining all of our cars to World Motors for years.. in all honesty the only place that I can 100% completely trust.. the mechanics are great, they work fast and are super reliable. The owner is amazing, there's nothing this guy DOESNT know about cars. Even with a simple explanation over the phone he'll tell you exactly what most likely be the issue, 9/10 he's usually on point before examining the car. 100% trustworthy, they don't play games, they'll tell you exactly what you need and don't need. There's a reason why they have been in business for so many years. Thanks for all you guys do, WM!! read more

I take all my olds bmw here.. my step dad told me about this place I have bought to cars and take my classic here if I don't work on it my self read more

went to World Motors today. I had been told by my dealership that I needed new brakes on all 4 wheels. Ariel inspected my vehicle and told me my brakes were fine and wouldn't need replacing for approximately 20,000 miles. so I left with peace of mind and having saved a lot of money. I will return to them for all my automotive needs. thanks Ariel and thanks to RJ for the recommendation! read more

UPDATE- My last brake job ended up not being even close to the same service. TBH- I ended up having to pay for another brake service almost immediately after. No one checked my rear brakes. I'm not even sure what they did with my brake job because it continued to GRIND. read more

I bring all of my vehicles here and refer everyone I know that needs service on their vehicles. Knowing that you will get an honest diagnosis and a reasonable price is, well...priceless. I won't take my vehicles anywhere else. Thank you! read more

This review was hard for me To write cause I honestly liked the owner. My son Purchased a truck in cash . The truck Was clean and listed at a great price . Truck was listed at $13,900 yet the paperwork says the truck was sold for $ 8500 . I get it you want to pocket that $5,900 cash ... but it made me Question his honesty & ability to Conduct business in truthful manner . Pros- great guy ! Very kind and easy going & they take care of the DMV paperwork Cons - -Fog lights don't work ( which I was Told would be fixed before the transaction went through) - brake pads were thinner than a slice of Lunch meat . So I repaired them on day 2 of owning the truck - both rear tires were bald ( metal wires exposed ) another purchase of things to fix on day 2 of owning the truck . Those are repairs I would Expect should of been done by world motors since they have mechanics on hand . - they forgot to give me the license plates so I had To Drive 60 miles one way to go pick them up On day 4 of Owing the truck . - Everything inside the truck was broken . Opened the console and the latch was broken , someone glued it on and opening it made it break off and it stayed open . Same thing with the change drawer. Two More purchases on day 5 of Owning the truck. Got a fix it ticket on the tint on day 6 so I paid $200 to have it removed (( there was two layers of tint on each window, took off the old stuff and replaced it with something lighter )) so far everything mechanically looks Ok with the truck . So I guess it could Of Been worse . Like I said I just wish those things would of Been taken care of . read more

World Motors - Car Dealers Near Me - Ontario, California

World Motors, Inc gave me a chance to purchase a nice car at a fantastic price; financing was handled in-house and I didn't have to sign away my life. Ariel and his partner Carlos are wonderful, went way above and beyond to get me the car I wanted at an affordable price, and it was my first car. I live in Orange County so it was a little far but in all honesty, it's so worth it. Their customer service is impeccable, the repairs, if you ever need them, are honest & credible. They know what they are talking about so you can trust in them 100%. Ariel Verna's passion for cars & extensive knowledge tell you he knows what he is talking about and there is nothing he doesn't know. This is a full stop shop and I highly recommend them; I will never go anywhere else! read more

HORRIBLE!!! Purchased a vehicle from this guy and he stated "the car is ready to go, a little wash and she'll be good" LIAR!!!! 2 weeks later car broke down AT THE BANK trying to get the money for the next months payment. Also, taillights did not work and when replacing the bulb, there was a bottle holding the light. Odd ?!?! The car was down more then it seen the road. Fuel pump was bad. Spark plugs were bad. Coil packs were bad. Do I need to continue. More over, when you speak to "Ariel" on the phone, he does not speak professionally. He is rude and has no care in his customers needs. If you are looking to buy, Please I encourage EVERYONE to take the vehicle to an ACTUAL mechanic and have it get inspected PROFESSIONALLY. At the same time when you think about it, it's like "I just put X amount of money down, AT A "DEALER", WHY do I have to do all that??" 10 out of 10 do not recommend. read more

Great people, Great service, and Great prices. no one gives you a better quality deal than Ariel. 10 years plus...as long as he's not going any where, he'll always have my business. read more

Had my daughters car towed to World Motors to have the alternator replaced after receiving a recommendation by a family member. They received my daughters vehicle from AAA towing around noon and by 5pm they called me to tell me that it was ready. Talk about excellent customer service. Everyone was friendly and professional, prices are very fair and I highly recommend World Motors. read more

Great people, Always gives the best prices and good work and very honest, I always recommend people to fix their cars here and I stand by it! read more

A couple months after getting my oil leak fixed, it was leaking again. :( I called and talked to the manager. He was very nice and asked me to bring my car in as soon as I could, so I did. They checked out my car and fixed it the same day at no charge. It is now running better than ever. Thank you once again, World Motors! read more

Ariel and his crew are AMAZING. I was referred here after some janky dealership repairs and wish I had known about them sooner. They fixed a potentially dangerous brake issue that Ford couldn't even figure and conned me into replacing a $2000 part that likely didn't need replacing. Ariel is honest, knowledgeable, friendly and timely. I won't do anywhere else from now on! read more

I bought my first car here when I was 18 years old. No scam. Helped me through everything. Had a battery problem since it had been sitting for so long so I called him and he took care of it with no charge or anything. His customer service is great. He will sit and talk with you about EXACTLY what you want and need to know. I then sold that car about a year ago and bought an 07 corvette. I continue to take that to him and have only had the best experiences with Ariel and Lucy both. These guys are the most trustworthy, kind and genuine people out there. This guy knows anything and everything there is to know about cars and if he isn't sure he will find out! As a plus they will get your car in and out fast as hell! read more

Ariel (who runs the whole place) is kind and knowledgeable. I purchased a car from a dealership and quickly encountered problems. I brought it to him and he told me exactly what I needed to know to have bargaining power with the dealership, including the multiple laws they had broken by selling me the vehicle in that condition. He received no money for looking at the car or giving me his advice and time, but instead did it out of the goodness of his heart. I cannot explain how much I appreciate his expertise. I would recommend him to anyone seeking a mechanic or used car dealer. read more

The only mechanic you will ever need. What separates this place from anyone else is that the mechanics get paid hourly, NOT commission. This means that they will not try to rip you off by overpricing parts and recommending service that is not needed. It keeps their employees honest and their prices low. How low? I needed a lot of work done on my car after hitting 100,000 miles. Ariel's price was about 1/3 of what the dealer wanted to charge me. I will never go to another mechanic ever again! read more

World Motors is outstanding for vehicle purchase and repairs. Great customer service, honest, and high integrity. I'm a 20 year customer and I would not take my vehicle anywhere else. They have done 4x4 modifications to custom car work. The work is top notch. Johnny read more

Ariel and his staff are honest and awesome to deal with. My family has bought 6 vehicles from him. He is the best. I recommend him to everyone that I come in to contact with.

I would trust Ariel with my vehicles over anyone else. Thank u Ariel u r awesome. In the future we plan on more vehicles if needed. read more

World Motors is a place I always recommend to anyone that is looking for a great and reasonable place to get your car repair, I always know that Ariel will always be honest and only fix whatever my car problem is, he will always give you a super deal and never over charges, first time I took it was for breaks he gave me the estimate, and when I went to pick up my car was far less then what he had quoted me, it sure was a great surprise, I had never had that experience before, I have been taking my car to World Motors for 10 years and will continue to do so. read more

this place is the best! I've been bringing my car here since i got it in 2002 for maintenance and repairs and its still running great! They do great work; my car has been through quiet a bit and still looks pretty good. read more

Buyer beware!!!!!! Use caution when doing business with this company. My relative who is new to the US knows very little about car values. They sold him two cars within the last twelve months. - One was a 2004 Kia Optima for $4300 cash. We checked the Kelley Book value and it came in at $2400. They made a $1,900.00 PROFIT!!!! - The other vehicle is a 2004 Hundai Santa Fe purchased for $4,900. The Kelley Blue Value came in at $2,915 through private party. They made a $1,985 PROFIT!!! On this vehicle, my relative paid $3,000 cash and the balance in 3 payments. No receipt was provided for the cash payment at the time of the transaction. Total profit made from an innocent consumer = $3,885!!!! We met with the General Manager, Ariel, last week to attempt to negotiate a price adjustment. Ariel immediately began to call us profanities and kicked us out of the property. When asked for the receipt for the $3000 Hundai down payment, he refused and denied receiving the money. In addition, the company lied on the purchase contract by reducing the original purchase price. They have a Better Business Bureau (BBB) sticker on their entrance door and when we threatened to go to the BBB, he laughted and stated that the BBB had no oversight power over the dealer. In closing, please make sure you research the value of their cars, carefully review their contracts and always, always ask for your receipt. At the end, my relative had no choice but accept the fact that he was a victim and learned a valuable lesson. Which was DON'T DO BUSINESS WITH THESE GUYS!!! read more

Ariel and Lucy are great they give great customer service ! Ariel knows cars and take great care of my car it was fixed so fast and was taken well care of thank you again I would definitely go to him again ! read more

Because I'm a woman, I've had car repair shops in the past try to scare me into doing work or tell me I need something fixed when I really didn't . Definitely NOT from World Motors. In them, I finally found an honest place to take my cars if they need repair. I've been going to World Motors for many years and Ariel and his staff are great. They know their cars! I have also bought three cars from him, all excellent vehicles with no issues still to date. Ariel always gives me the truth about what's needed and let's me decide what I'd like to do. Work is always done in a timely manner and always done correctly the first time. I will continue to refer family, friends, and strangers to World Motors. read more

Rip Off Report ..... On June 2, 2012, Gary & Vanessa Fortson purchased the [2001, Saab, 9-3 SE] from World Motors Incorporated in the amount [$4,300] . When my family and I arrived at World Motors Incorporated, I Gary Fortson test drove the 2001, Saab 9-3SE. I noticed that the fuel gauge indicated empty. The owner (Ariel Verna) indicated to my family and I that he was driving the car from his home to work daily and it was a good car. I asked Ariel Verna if there was enough gas in the car to make it to the nearest gas station and he replied "yes". I drove the car to the nearest gas station. I gave the gas attendant $40 to fill the tank. But, to my surprise the 2001, Saab, 9-3 SE only took $10 to fill up the tank. Despite repeated attempts to repair the car by [World Motors Inc.], Frank's Transmission & Auto Repair and AAA Auto Repair. The 2001 Saab 9-3SE remains defective. The 2001 Saab 9-3 SE was sold with the fuel gauge not working, electrical problems, motor leaks and transmission leaks. Note: I (we) would not have purchased the 2001 Saab 9-3SE if World Motors Incorporated had disclosed all of these problems to us read more

Very nice in person. So-so on the phone. I took it in to have my car horn fixed on my Ford Explorer Sport. My horn was kind of a loud, heavy horn. They took it out & replaced it with a toot-toot horn, then it died the next day. The woman I talked to on the phone put me on hold & told me they didn't change the horn, but I know that a Ford Explorer Sport has a loud, heavy horn & the sound that came out after I took it to World Motors in Ontario was VERY DIFFERENT. Sigh. Now I'm once again on the hunt for an honest car repair shop. How exhausting. read more
