E & J Motors

BEWARE!
This was my first car lot vehicle purchase ever. I had came in with knowing how much I was getting from a settlement from my previous car as it was totaled out in an insurance claim. I wanted to spend around 2500 dollars and I made this very clear. I was pressured into buying a car that was sold to me for 9,000. I later found out the car was only worth about 6,000 even though I saw a KBB that the guy showed me it turns out they Kelly blue booked it wrong to express a much higher value for the vehicle. I also while test driving it asked about a problem and they passed it off as if it was normal. I found out later it was the rotors were badly warped. The vehicle also came with a stereo installed very half ass (FALLING OUT). I also had to take the vehicle to a mechanic when I had to renew the tags several months after I bought it and it turned out that the Check engine light had been disabled and it had a bad catalytic converter! I was young and 18 they knew I did not make much and still sold me a CAR well outside my budget and screwed me with all the repairs! They are high pressure salesmen and the vehicles are not sold ready to go. They also take advantage of young FIRST TIME BUYERS!

Buyers beware: Dishonest sales tactics at E&J Motors.
I test drove a 2008 Toyota Prius with E&J salesperson Gilbert Guerra. The car seemed good, except for two broken door actuators, which Gilbert assured me they would fix at no charge. I asked Gilbert if they would accept $ 8,500 for the car. Gilbert went next door to talk with manager Jamie Newman. Jamie entered the room to say he would accept $ 8,500. I immediately noted the two door actuators needed to be fixed (Jamie reluctantly said he would take that cost out of Gilbert’s commission since he didn’t mention it) and my mechanic needed to verify no major mechanical issues with the car. Jamie huffed and puffed and complained about my mechanic checking the car. (Why would he fear me paying my mechanic to check out the car?)
Jamie left the room and I asked Gilbert if we still had a deal. He assured me we did. I clarified three separate times with Gilbert that if I took the car to my mechanic and no major mechanical problems were found, that we could then finalize the purchase for $ 8,500. He agreed and assured me that Jamie was «an honest man» and «a Christian man» who would honor the price to which he had agreed.
So…I took the Prius to my mechanic immediately after they opened, paid $ 100 for a pre-​purchase inspection, they found no major mechanical problems, and I immediately called Gilbert with the good news.
Then the bait and switch. Gilbert talked with Jamie and reported that I would have to pay MORE than $ 8,500. I recounted our prior conversations and agreement, but they would no longer honor the accepted price.
Since I don’t spend money at dishonest businesses, I dropped the car back at E&J Motors. I would much rather pay my honest mechanic $ 100 more to inspect a second car from an honest seller, rather than pay a dime to E&J for their bait-​and-​switch tactics. Buyers beware.

I have bought 6 used cars in my life so far… More than half stopped working soon after purchase.
That’s not how things are at E & J motors!
I struggled to find a car in my price range for months until coming to E & J. They had a good selection & the prices were right!
I negotiated a few in-​house repairs & we worked things out so everyone is happy! How rare is that?
That is really the key here — they won’t stop until you are satisfied. So refreshing!
I think if you go to a bigger dealership you’ll pay several thousand more for the same car — and the only difference we found is better detailing. Save the big money & get your car detailed elsewhere for the best bang for your buck!

wow!!! Seriously man. Let me start off by saying I came in here last week and spoke to Wayne about buying a certain Suburu. They started getting pushy but quickly backed off. Im from Oakland Ca and that slick fast talk we read right through. Nevertheless, I came back in 3 days later to take the car for a ride. I had cash in hand was ready to buy it straight cash as long as the car was up to par. As I was walking through the lot some dark skinned latin guy came out. Not Jaime in the picture with the girl. Some guy they had in the second lot. He started getting smart the minute I asked for the car. He said «Im not going for some donkey ride» He said you can look but Im not taking you for a ride. I said «Whats a donky ride». His co-​worker said «oh thats a Mexican thing. I said whatever. His co-​worker said Ill take you. Than I said to myself. Im about to give you $ 7000 grand and your disrespecting me like that. So I asked that guy again whats a donky ride. He said its when I take you out and your not gonna buy nothing. I laughed in his face and told him Im gonna take my business somewhere else. He started getting all smart with me. He must of thought I was some young punk. So i pulled out my envelope from Bank of America and flashed $ 7,000 and gave him the time of day. He started following me through the parking lot. Than he see’s me hop in my classic car I was driving that day that was worth more than any car on that lot. He tried to compliment me. Man, your a joke and you deserve to be fired for that!!! Im not into hating on people but this guy was soo out of line. He was acting like some high school bully. But Im from the bay area friend and I say your tactics are corny. Tell your friend Wayne Drake your welcome for loosing his sale. Way to screw up my day, I was just trying to buy a car for my family and get home after work.

Was super skeptical about buying from a traditional dealer, but trusted the previous reviewers on this site. I knew the car I wanted and knew the price I wanted to pay. Walked in, no pressure, accepted my offer and was in and out in 45 minutes. I’m still elated on how easy it was. Jorge was great, and the GM Jaime just seemed like a solid guy. I can’t recommend these guys enough. I would imagine even if you just wanted to browse around you wouldn’t face too much pressure or deal with the car sales «dance» that I have endured at other places. Good luck with your car shopping!

This place sell honest and trustworthy cars. The staff is respectful low pressure. My wife and i have bought 5 cars from here. We recently bought subaru. Its a great company.

So glad I decided to come here! Was looking for my first car: something cute, safe, in good condition, and affordable. Jamie (owner) is a family friend, and even though I had never met him before he worked well with me and helped me to find a car that would be good for me. Since I was spending my own money, finding something great was really important to me and it was to him too!
He let me drive 3 different cars to see what I liked, was so personable and when I finally found one he was willing to fix up the tiny little things it needed with no extra charge!
This used car lot has a lot of great people other than Jamie too and they never pressure you, only help. SO happy with my experience and everyone should come here if they want a similar experience.

These guys are great. If there is a prob they jump right on it and get you happy. We have purchased from EJ six times and will do so again. Don’t let the location scare you they really are different from the rest.

E&J is by far the best used car lot in town! It’s family owned and has been in the same location since the 80’s, they’re in this business for real! The staff is more than helpful and never gives you that creepy used car salesmen vibe. The owners are Christian family men with good morales and take great pride in their product.
I used to work at a finance company that financed deals for E&J. Our customers were always pleased with the customer service and quality of the vehicle and in the event something ever did go wrong they were always there to help. I’m on my second vehicle from E&J and my husband just purchased his first from them. E&J is the type of dealership you continue purchasing vehicles from.
I would more than highly recomend checking them out when in the market for a «new» used car!

I’m surprised this place doesn’t have any reviews. While nobody I know is exactly excited to shop for a car, and used car dealers don’t have the best reputation, I vouch for E&J.
Friends recommended E&J when i was shopping for a «new» car, and so I would upI trading in an old Saturn sedan once it cost too much to maintain and got a 1995 Honda Odyssey back in 2006. I put 100,000 additional miles on it and was repeatedly shocked by how well it survived what I did to it. When it finally gave up, I recently traded it in for a newer model.
My salesman, Wayne, was more helpful than pushy, acted more like he worked in customer service than sales, and allowed me to have the van checked by my mechanic before I committed to purchase. It’s only been a week since I took the newer van home, but so far everyone I know is shocked by how easy the transaction went and how great the van is for a used vehicle.
