Great first time buying experience they were polite straight to the point no bait and switch enjoyable stress free experience
I purchased a car through SoCal Motorcars and it was a very stress free experience! Jay was easy to talk to, extremely transparent and helpful while I looked at the vehicle and test drove it. He answered all my questions honestly and even let me take the car over to the local mechanic to have something looked at before I purchased. If you see a car you like I would highly recommend checking this spot out, its not like youre typical used car dealership, so refreshing.
Dave is a great resource of information, very friendly and not in the least bit pushy. His inventory is full of well maintained models at competitive prices. The entire buying experience was smooth and enjoyable.
After shopping for a used car it was a refreshing experience to find Dave and Jay at SoCal Motorcars. They possess a rare quality in that industry. Integrity. The car I bought was better than represented at a very fair price.Robert
I bought a Subaru Outback from Dave. We was extremely nice and easy to work with.
Working with Dave at SoCal motors was great. There was no pressure to buy and getting to test drive the car I was interested was easy. Price was great and fair I had came in with my own financing so once I decided to purchase it was simple to sign paper work and drive away in my new ride. Thank you Dave. I will definitely recommend my friends to you if they are in the market for a car.
I can’t imagine a better auto buying experience. Dave was up front, honest, on time and made the experience fun. Like dealing with a friend. Sounds corny, but in this case true. The car was exactly as advertised, he gave me all the time I needed for a test drive, no rushing me at all. I had the oil changed a few days after the purchase and the mechanic confirmed that I had just purchased a super clean, well maintained car. I can fully recommend this company and will for sure go to them next time I’m in the market.
We love our new Jeep! They were very friendly and kind. Great people to do business with!
Dave was recommended by a church friend. He specifically went to auction(s) to find me the right affordable 🚗 car; as soon as possible!;) I get so many compliments on the color paint job, etc., already.. And I just got it. He also came back to work special, to meet us, since we were driving from Banning... When we forgot to confirm, first, that we were on our way!Thx Dave, nice meeting you... We appreciate everything & will refer you!! (P.S. ID still love to trade in for an SUV like my totaled one, if ever possible!)
Thank you Dave for making my car buying experience such a smooth and easy process, I will definitely recommend SoCal Motors to others!
Great Car purchasing Experience. Dave was friendly and honest. Answered all the questions I had and didnt try to pressure me into a sale like you would get at a large dealership.
I recommend Dave to buy a car with. He knows cars and he deals in an honest way with people. Seems he aime to to please not just like the typical car dealer. Good cars, Good guy! a
Dave was a pleasure to do business with. Love my car, it is clean and priced fairly. I’d recommend So Cal Motors to anyone, very convenient and easy! Great cars and trusted service, thank you!
We are in our 80s. Bought alot of cars in our life. Things have changed since we bought out last car 15 years ago. Jay was very straightforward and honest with the car we bought, and explained the whole DMV process on what and when everything was going to happen. Most importantly, he followed up after the sale to make certain we got the new license tabs and new title. Most people would just assume everything was ok. Jay went the extra mile. We are 1 million percent satisfied!!!
My husband & I had been on the hunt for a new vehicle for a few months, & finally came across and AWESOME deal on a great car. We live a ways away so I spoke to Jay over the phone before we made the drive. He was so honest, and helpful! When we got there, we also met Dave who was also very straight forward with us and helpful as well! Overall a great experience, & will be recommending them!
I would just like to say what a pleasure it was dealing with Jay from SoCal Motorcar. I needed to find a reliable car for my son who is stationed at 29 Palms Marine base California. The trick was that I’m in New York so I couldn’t look at the car. This man went above and beyond to help us out and make us comfortable with the purchase from 2700 miles away. In the end, we got a great car. I would just like to thank to Jay and his team for their great work and support.
The sales guy here is a real jerk. He only helps the people he deems worthy of his time. Way over priced junky cars. Dont waste your time.
Awesome Customer service, couldn’t have been much easier to purchase a vehicle. Very straight forward, and very friendly!
Such a great experience!I absolutely love my car it’s in great condition!I was able to get an appointment quick, Dave is the best!
Dave was a pleasure to work with. There was no pressure to buy. I would highly recommend Socal Motorcars.
Ive been through two cars in 2 years and was dreading going through the whole looking for another used car thing, especially after messaging with some shady people on Facebook marketplace. Thanks to Dave, I now have a reliable Honda Civic. Its old and cute and I actually have to roll the windows up and down with the crank on the door(gasp!) Old school, but I safely get to where I need to go.The price was good and the whole thing was easy. It was actually really fun. We had a great time talking to Dave and will absolutely visit SoCal Motorcars first the next time we need a car.
Very easy to deal with. Highly recommend this place as car buying usually isn’t this easy. Thank you!
First time car buyer, I bought a Mercedes from socal through jay specifically and I have nothing but good things to say highly recommend these guys!
Dave was awesome and very knowledgeable on the vehicles he had in stock. He was straightforward and honest. Price was perfect! He handled everything from start to finish and made buying this car very easy and worry free. We love our MINI Cooper and will visit him again when buying our next used vehicle.
I was in need of a good sturdy used car and had been searching for a month and then I came across SoCal Motorcars. From the moment I meet the owner, Dave, I knew I was dealing with a kind, knowledgeable and honest man, who would give me the truth about his inventory. There was no “smoke and mirrors” with Dave. He told me the pros and cons about each car and let me take each of the cars out on a test drive. Dave’s cars have clean titles and have been well maintained by their previous owners. I can’t tell you how pleased I am with the purchase I made and will be sending everyone I know to SoCal Motorcars when they are in need of a good used car! Thanks Dave!
Great people to deal with! They couldnt have made it any easier to buy a great car! I highly recommend this dealership when looking for car! I give it 10 stars out of 5!
My experience with Dave at SoCal Motorcars was beyond great. I found my Infiniti G37 and lived out of state. He was really informative answered all my questions and put me at ease in the buying process. He helped me through each step. He put me in touch with a carrier that transported my vehicle. I’m truly pleased with my purchase and would recommend him to anyone in the market for a vehicle.
Found a great late model 3-series here. The car was perfectly represented, I was able to take a test drive, and I was able to negotiate a fair price. It was an easy buy even though I drove two hours from San Diego on a late Saturday afternoon. Thanks for a good experience and a smooth transaction!
Got my 2014 Fusion Hybrid with fairly low mileage and in good condition. Owner came and picked me up too. And the license plates came in less than two weeks. Thank you!Update: Owner told me not to waste my money on the warranty. The car made a squealing noise by 2nd week. Had it towed to Ford after stranded on highway; went completely kaput and needed a whole new transmission which costs more than the car.
I highly recommend SoCal Motorcars! They are honest and upfront. They have excellent customer service and go above and beyond for their clients. Jay is amazing. I love my new car!
Dave at SoCal Motorcars is excellent!! I can not rave enough about this used car dealership! From start to finish the entire process was seamless. Dave provided information, inspection, vehicle test driving, and patience while I obtained my financing. I bought a 20 yr old Ford Explorer with only 142,xxx miles! Top of the line with all the extras, excellent mechanical and physical condition of the vehicle! When I test drove it, I knew immediately, this was the SUV. Having retired from automotive manufacturing management, I know what to look for, Dave doesnt need to sell his vehicles. Obviously, the quality is there, at a reasonable price. I feel this is the best used vehicle purchase I have ever made! I was living in Palm Springs, CA when I purchased the truck November 2019. Three months later, I am visiting family & friends in St. Louis, Missouri! That truck drives like a dream! Carried me cross country from California to Missouri without stopping for anything except gas!! Still running perfectly in these frigid temperatures here. It is truly the best vehicle I have ever owned, & Ive had new cars. David is the best car dealership owner, Ive ever met. So glad I trusted him and SoCal Motorcars!!
My husband and I live in Buffalo, NY and were real skeptical about buying a car 2500 miles away. I contacted Jay and he was very honest about the 1998 Cadillac ElDorado and answered all my questions. Jay took a video of the car and actually pointed out the flaws in detail. Straight up people that you dont find anymore. Very Happy with out deal!!
Simple and flawless car buying experience. Dave was great helping with my daughters first vehicle purchase. Thank you. Steve
It first seen like it was going to be a great experience with this car dealer but it was not. I tested and bought a convertible Mercedes Benz, I was happy with my purchase, until a WHOLE year when by and No Car Title.I called Dave and let him know that it’s been more than 6 months and I still had not received the Car Title. He supposedly got on the phone and the problem was resolved, according to him. Two month later still not Car Title! I called Dave again and this time is was not has nice! Again he made his called and now was telling me that I needed to get some paperwork from him and I needed to get it notarized..??! WHAT??? WHY??? I decide to do it myself and when to the DMV, 2 weeks later I had the Car Title in my hand! Hard to understand why this was a big mess for this dealership! It’s usually so easy to request a car title to be send to the new car owner. This was a bad experience for me.
Thank u Dave & SoCal Motorcars for all your help & for making the purchase (2007 Tiburon) a very pleasant one for me & my family! Well most certainly be referring your business to everyone we know & will be back to do business with u again in the not too distant future. Best regards & take care! Elias
Bought a car on eBay. Highly communicative, friendly, and helpful. Salesman went out of his way to go into great detail on the vehicle. Vehicle exceeded expectations. Can’t recommend highly enough! 11/10
Came with my sister to drive back the car she bought. David was very nice and pleasant to talk to. I would definitely be here when Im ready to bye my next car. No hassle to buying a car here with David. All of Davids cars are checked by a certified mechanic before he sells them. That would really be, peace of mind for the customer.
Best Car Buying Experience Ive ever had. David specializes in low mileage upscale cars. The 2009 RL I purchased was in great condition and worth every penny and time I spent driving to Palm Desert. He knows his cars. Highly recommend SoCal Motorcars. Call before going.
Dave was very pleasant, easy going and friendly. The facility is neat and clean. All the cars looked to be in excellent condition. I would buy from SoCal Motorcars again.
Very nice and very honest. Dave made our car buying experience stress free. Absolutely no pressure and gave us all the time we needed to test drive and look over everything. I will be back soon for another purchase and would deffinentelly refer Dave to friends and family.Thanks Dave 👍
After you read all the paid reviews put on this persons business page 10 months ago...check out this real one. Also, take a minute to look at SoCal Motors reputation on Yelp...it will make you yelp. Dave is a liar. He will lie to your face and sell you something he does not own. Then he will get confrontational with you on the phone when you try to fix the situation...like getting a pink slip for a car paid for upfront and 100% in cash. If he says the car has had an oil change, better schedule one asap, because it is a lie. If he says getting the title will be no problem, plan on going to court, because that is a lie. LIES...LIES...LIES. Why would you buy here? Do yourself a favor and keep looking for another car.
Over all I am very happy with my purchase from SoCal Motors. Their communications were good. They were very helpful assiting with the transport across the country. The only thing I was not thrilled about is the bottom of the drivers mirror is broken. You cant see it unless you are driving the car so they might not have known it was broken. Anyway is was an above average experience dealing with SoCal Motors and I am very happy and would buy from them again.
This dealership has provided exceptional service and the staff is very friendly. If you are looking for a dealership in this area to visit, this is the one to visit! Thank you for all your help!
I bought a nice Nissan Altima cash very expressive and the transmission is bad Im a single mother struggling it took me months and months to save up I sacrificed so much for junk! Thats my experience.
SO CAl Motors took such GOOD care of us ! It was soo awesome to have to NOT deal with the hug corporate care sales style. We found Dave to be such a joy to work with and his integrity and honesty was evident in ALL ways. I would highly recommend coming HERE to buy your next car over ANY place in this valley.
We love our new car! Excellent experience, from first inquiry to driving off the lot, to the aftercare.Thank you Dave!
Very friendly and professional! Only great quality vehicles at SoCal Motorcars in my opinion
I bought a 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac XLT and had an amazing buying experience! As a woman in her 20s, it can be a very intimidating process to buy a car from a dealer. However, I have nothing but good things to say about my process with SoCal Motorcar. Dave, the owner, was very accommodating and trustworthy. As an out-of-state buyer, I was weary of how the transition was going to play out to get the registration and title taken care of, but it couldnt have been a smoother process thanks to Dave. I would definitely recommend this dealer to family or friends looking for a reliable used car from a dealer who is truly honest and helpful!
Great experience, Great Car. Dave is just the best !
Dave was very responsive to my phone calls and inquiries about the vehicle. The purchase of my daughters first car went smoothly and flawlessly, and I loved that the transaction didnt take all day like other dealerships.
My wife loves her 10-year-old Saab, but it was getting to be time for something new. She wasnt that excited about any new cars, so I started a nationwide search for a low-mileage Saab. When this one popped up a couple hours from home, it looked like a good option. Dave turned out to be great to deal with. Hes an enthusiast who knows what hes selling, particularly Saabs. He didnt try to oversell the car, and priced it fairly. I got the sense that he buys and sells cars he likes, and he definitely didnt bother with any of the used car dealer schtick. Even his location was unlike any used car dealership Id ever seen. Its basically a small warehouse in an industrial park, with maybe a dozen cars, all parked inside. I bought the car within about 30 minutes of seeing it and drove it 120 miles home at pretty high speed.Im compulsive about maintenance, and it is an eight-year-old car, so I dropped it off at my experienced Saab mechanic before even taking it home. He gave it a very careful inspection and proclaimed it to be a solid car, with nothing broken or nonfunctioning. Yes, I did some maintenance items since we didnt know the history, but I admit Im compulsive. A lot of people would have just driven it. I also had a chunk of the car painted, since the clear coat was burned from the sun. Once again, Dave hadnt tried to hide that fact, but had priced the car accordingly. With a bunch of maintenance items the car didnt absolutely need, and all the paint work done by a pro who wasnt cheap, I still have less money in this car than any of the east coast cars I looked at would have cost me. Most importantly, my wife is beyond thrilled.Buying used cars, especially ones this old, is always a gamble. That said, this was the best experience Ive had with one, and got a good car.
Extremely nice and professional to do business with. Honest and straightforward transaction
Dave was very helpful bought a truck. Buying experience great.
Ive never bought a used car in California. Was told of all the scams.Then I met David the Owner of SoCal Motorcar. He came across so Sincere and Honest that I trusted him when he said the car had never been in a accident and was Safety checked. That it was his policy to Never sell a car that he wouldnt let his wife Drive.So I bought the used Audi A 4. Well was I wrong. 1st the Carfax didnt mention that the car had been in a accident. Drivers side was partially fixed and poorly painted as pointed out to me by a Body Man when I brought the car into a Repair shop to fix a cracked CV Driveshaft, Engine Manifold Gasket and more. $1500 so far and now the Engine light is on and who knows what that means in new costs of repairs. He sold me a GWC Warranty thats suppose to cover everything but wear and tear. So far the warranty people refuse to cover anything. $2,279.00 for nothing. GWC offered to cancel the warranty and Refund my full payment of $2279.00 I had to beg/Fight with Mr. berhoff and in the end. I only got back $!990.00 Short by $289.00. When I called to ask for the rest all Mr Berghoff said was GOOD LUCK ITS MY HANDLING COSTI could go on and on. Instead Dont believe or trust what you hear about SoCal Motorcar. I wish I could Sue for false information etc.DO YOU REALLY WANT TO DEAL WITH SOMEONE WHO PULLS THESE KIND OF THINGS. BE WARNED.UPDATE: Finally got rid of the car TOTAL REPAIRS IN 1 YEAR $3,890.00Remember SoCal responded but just as he misrepresented to us when he sold the car, Again he is Misrepresenting the facts.
Nightmare experience. Manager has Anger issues and doesn’t do well with people
