I would give a 0 stars if I could! STAY AWAY! DO NOT EVEN GO NEAR THIS DEALER!! They sold me a broken car and then said they fixed it (they lied) and it cost us THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. We bought a 2004 tahoe and within a few weeks we had the sunroof leak, that was a $200 fix. Then we went to have all the fluids changed, they were all so old and had not been well maintained, another $600 to tune the car up. Then a... view more few weeks alter we had a problem with the 4 wheel drive--terrible grinding noise. A & B said they would fix it and pay for 50%. (That was part of the purchase agreement). They had it for almost a week, when we got it back, guess what? It wasn`t fixed! Still made the horrible noise and didn`t work. Took it to our mechanic and he said there had been absolutely no work done on the car, there was so much undisturbed grease and dirt there was no way they fixed it. We had our mechanic take it apart and order all new parts for it--Tahoe parts. When the parts came in the mechanic tried to install them and they didn`t fit. When they took the entire front end apart they discovered someone had put a 2000 suburban axle on our 2004 Tahoe. We ended up spending over thousands and thousands to fix it! So either A & B had their mechanic install a 2000 suburban axle on our 2004 tahoe, or they lied that they fixed it, and either way that is beyond not acceptable, to completely ridiculous. We are currently investigating our legal options.

STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS!!!

I would give a 0 if I could! STAY AWAY! DO NOT EVEN GO NEAR THIS DEALER!! They sold me a broken car and then said they fixed it (they lied) and it cost us THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. I would give 0 stars if that was possible. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. We made the mistake of buying from them and the lemon they sold us has cost THOUSANDS in repairs. STAY AWAY!

Only honest dealership!

I bought 2009 Cadillac (salvage) for about 12k cheaper then I shouldve because of the tiltle but they told me everything I need to know about the damage before and the car is in amazing condition never gave me any problems! I love this car. I don`t know what issue (careful Buyer) had but it`s definitely isn`t the dealer. They were great! the sales guys are very helpful!

A & B Motors is DISHONEST

A & B Motors is DISHONEST. Don`t be tempted by low prices. The prices are lower because they sell DAMAGED cars. They have been in accidents and in many cases have not been fully repaired before selling them. They buy junk from auctions and try to make the car appear nice. I looked up the VIN # of a car they were selling. The car history showed it had been in a serious accident. When I asked them about it, they tri... view moreed to tell me that Carfax service is not reliable information and I should not believe it. Then, they removed the Carfax link form their web site so no one else could see the information. They are truly CROOKS and should have their business license revoked.

Salvage JUNK!!!!

They tried to sell me a salvage G35 at RETAIL PRICE!!! Are you frickin kidding Me!?!? THe carfax showed the Airbag was deployed, and the mileage did not add up. I wonder if anyone else experienced being thrown around like I did. BUYER BEWARE!!!!

Crooks & Liars

These guys told me that car had damage only to the left side of vehicle. Now I am finding out it was a lot more than that. They were able to hide a lot of real damage. Do not buy from these people 310-800-5134

Not so sure We WILL SEE.

I was told that a car I was about to purchase had rear end damage. When I took it to the dealer to have them check it out, they said they found front end damage. The dealer said they found a few minor issues. A&B promised to complete those repairs. When we noticed that not all 4 tires were good, we asked them to replace 2 of them. They tried to charge us for half of the labor. Now 1 week after purchase, my 2007 ... view morehybrid won`t start. We will see if they fix it properly.

A&B Motors Gets a Thumbs down, big time.

I bought a car from A&B Motors and have been slowly finding out that a lot of the repairs were not done properly or safely as they had assured me. Bumper absorption pad was not replace, wires were incorrectly hooked up, paint started flaking within weeks and the list goes on. I would not buy from A&B Motors again and would advise others not to buy from them as well. They should find another line of business because t... view morehey are not very good at this one.
