Valley Dealer Exchange

Big dealer feel — got a great civic today, got financed and a warranty in a couple of hours. Couldn’t be any happier with the service and certainly would look here first for my next car. A real hidden gem outside the brand boulevards for cars highly recommended

Sold my old Porsche Boxster to George in 2014. Was more than fair in the purchase price and very helpful. This year I bought a used Honda minivan from him (found specifically for us). Met all our requirements, is immaculate and sold to us much below blue book. It’s rare to find someone who is upfront and bases their business on integrity. Even after he bought the minivan we requested, he told us we were under no obligation to buy it from him. Truly the best car buying experience I’ve had!
Found Valley Dealer Exchange from friends who had bought cars from them and were very happy. Has my highest recommendation!

These guys are great! Sold me a nice, clean car. Pleasant to work with. There was a small rubber piece missing from the vehicle, and they went out of their way to rectify the situation, above and beyond my expectations. Next time I’m in the market for a vehicle, these guys will be on my radar!

juan and greg were great, bought the extended warranty as well. can’t be more happy :)

I had been searching for a prius for a while, I just needed someone who was willing to work with me and understand that buying a car is a big deal, and that I don’t do it everyday so it needs to be understood that I’m looking for a good vehicle at a good deal. That’s how it is for anybody not buying new off the lot but wow, most used dealers that I visited previous to coming here were just really really really not in tune with the market.
I knew what I wanted, and had done my homework through and through. Almost every other dealer was annoyed that I knew what I could expect re: interest rates and warranties and all that. George welcomed and appreciated my kind of neurotic approach.
These guys remind me of my small town dealership, straightforward, honest, no pressure. All my anxiety addressed and questions answered. Went the extra mile to walk me through the credit process. Stayed late in the office to wrap it up. Sold me a car that I love. And followed up with me on the little details afterwards.
I suppose for 5 stars the question is: would you, without hesitation, recommend Valley Dealer to family and friends? the answer for me is no doubt a huge yes, and in fact I’ve already sent a couple friends their way.
Thank you guys, I really appreciate how painless you made it, and I LOVE my car.

Drove all the way from Corona just because this seemed like a promising place from the reviews, and it did not disappoint! Completely satisfied with my Prius that I got from George, for a fantastically good deal too!
Even when a month was up and the battery died (it was about time, really), they changed it for me, free of charge! It truly did make my week!
George is fantastic, helpful and knowledgeable, made the entire experience extremely painless! I will definitely recommend any of my friends looking for a car to come over here. Keep up the good work, guys!

It’s now been over a year and we are honestly so happy with the car and deal we got with Valley Dealer Exchange. George (I think his name was) was responsive on questions, gave us a great deal, and sold us a car in EXACTLY the condition he described.
Thank you for being so awesome and bucking the trend of used car dealers!

Had a great experience at Valley Dealer Exchange! After a long day of high-​pressure used car salesman George was a breath of fresh air. He’s honest, trustworthy and he really listens to what you need in a car. Today he texted me a picture of a car for my daughter. Great follow up. I’ll be back for my next car and I’ll tell all my friends to buy here.

These guys are the best … hands down. I’d put off buying a car for a long time because my previous car-​buying experiences were such a hassle. There was none of that here. It was quick and easy. A really good experience all the way around.

Very upfront and honest, I did not trade my car with them but they were forthcoming and honest in advising my best options. I’m sure they would offer a fair deal when buying used cars too! They deserve to be contacted, happy and friendly consultants to meet your automotive needs (cheesy tag line but the interaction inspired it) keep it up :)

Buying a used car can be a daunting task. I have purchased cars in the past only to find out that the seller was trying to hide something, or wasn’t being totally honest about something, so I decided I was going to avoid private sellers all together. My wife found a car online at one of the big name dealerships that she wanted to see, so the next morning we went over to see it in person. I won’t go into details about that experience because that’s not what my review is intended for, but I will just say it left me incredibly frustrated and wanting to escape from the ruthless used car salesman.
I proceeded to google «trustworthy used car dealerships in LA» and Valley Dealer Exchange was the first to pop up. I then came across all of the positive Unilocal reviews and knew I had to check them out. I browsed their inventory online and found a car I was very interested in. I went over to see them the following day. I happened to catch them on their lunch break, but they were kind enough to come back to the dealership just so I could look at a car. I liked it as much as I thought I was going to, but wasn’t ready to make a decision just yet. I never felt pressured into making a quick decision. George told me to think about it, and make sure my wife had a chance to see it as well. We both came back the following day and decided we were going to purchase it and we were all able to agree on a price.
I never thought that buying a used car could be such an enjoyable experience. I very highly recommend George and Carlos at Valley Dealer Exchange to anyone who is in the market for a used car. I would definitely go back to them in a heartbeat to buy another car. Thanks so much, again!

George and Carlos were extremely knowledgeable and above and beyond on their service. Carlos was accommodating for my busy schedule and worked and fought incredibly hard to get the rate most advantageous for me. I would absolutely refer friends and family here and come back for future purchases. The experience was personal and genuine caring from this dealership. thanks again guys!

I don’t write many reviews, but this one is well deserved! After visiting several dealerships, I was frustrated with the process of buying a used vehicle. I eventually visited Valley Dealer Exchange and they have proven to be the best and most ethical dealership I have ever purchased a vehicle from.
I truly enjoyed the process of purchasing my vehicle! George was beyond professional, personable, honest, customer-​service oriented and I felt no pressure. He listened after asking me what I needed in a car. He worked with me in obtaining my goal of finding just the right car for me within my budget.
George and his business partner Juan, made the loan application process very smooth and I was soon on my way. Not only did I get the vehicle I truly desired but absolutely enjoyed the process of my purchase!!! This was huge to me and I will always buy all future vehicles from Valley Dealer Exchange. I have recommended this dealership to several people and would encourage ANYONE considering a vehicle to visit them! A+Mazing! Thank you George for a wonderful experience and keep up the good work!!!

Great service, it’s two employees only so you may have to keep trying contact. Car buying experience was smooth.

I recently bought a MINT 2007 Toyota Prius from here and it was one of the best car buying experiences I have had. I walked in and Juan Carlos was very attentive and courteous. He didn’t try to «sell» me on anything. I told him all of my specifics and he accomplished them all flawlessly. He held the car for me until the next day and when I purchased the car, George took me through every detail of the Prius and was very helpful and generous with his time. I would and will recommend these fine gentleman for your car buying experience. Thanks gentlemen!

Never go anywhere else but here for your car buying needs!
I drove up from San Diego looking for a car after mine was deemed «totaled.» After George sat with me and we found out that my APR rate would be 21% due to horrible credit, I was back to square one. I drove back to San Diego that night, and then two days later, George contacted me with a great deal that I could not pass up. Knowing my time constraints (on the third week of renting a car), he made getting the car ready for me his number one priority, and even stayed open late to get me back on the road. He has been completely honest and helpful and compassionate, all traits that are hard to find in a car salesman, let alone many people! After I rebuild my credit and save money, I will definitely go back to him for my next car!

About 2 months ago I purchased a car with Valley Dealer Exchange. A friend of mine referred Patti telling me that she could find the car I want for the price I can afford. That sounded too good to be true because my budget was quite limited and I thought that I will end up with a car that is older than 10 years and has over 100k miles on it. It took us a while to find the right one but eventually I bought a 2005 Chevy Aveo LS with 81k for the amount I had budgeted.
Patti was great. She was not only searching for a car for me but also supported me when I was looking for a car on my own and had questions. She was super responsive to my calls, texts and emails. Everybody working at the dealership is very professional and eager to get you the best car for the price you can afford. And while doing my own research I had my share of sleazy used car dealers who try to talk you into bad cars. Not so at Valley Dealers. The way Patti evaluated my option after our first talk made me trust her immediately.
If you are on a budget and are searching for a reliable used car, Valley Dealer Exchange is the place to go. They are trustworthy and honest and I will definitely buy my next car with them again.

I love Valley Dealer Exchange. My family has purchased 3 car here. Service is amazing, patty, George, and Jose treat me like family!
I trust them and know that they are not trying to sell me a lemon.
I would send anyone here! GREAT service and Great cars!

My Name is Marty,
I found these guys on the Internet looking for a express van. After getting the run around from a couple of other dealers, I was shocked when they talked to me. No pressure, no gimmicks, just straight forward guys. I traveled over 300 miles to do business with this car lot. Carlos stood behind his word and a little old school. A hand shake with these guys means what it used to back in the day. (I stand behind what I say and I am a man of my word.) I would recommend any one to do business with them and the next car purchase I make will probably through them.

Never in a million years did I imagine buying a car from a «used car lot.» All my previous cars were purchased from name-​brand dealers, because of their quality, care, knowledge and reliability. However, this place blew my expectations out of the water!
My first impression talking to George over the phone was that this salesman knew his stuff. He answered all my questions with grace and clarity. That motivated me to visit the car lot in person to test drive a 2010 Prius package five.
Upon arrival, I met George and once again peppered him with questions about the car. Let me say at this point that I did a lot of research myself, reading car reviews and online customer forums. Even still, the salesman blew me away with his knowledge of the car. Little did I know at the time that George had been an ASE-​certified mechanic working for Lexus prior to opening his own car lot. To say George knows his vehicles is an understatement! He even gave me pointers on how to drive and maintain the car well.
One thing that surprised me about the Valley Dealer Exchange was the quality of cars on the lot. Each has a Carfax sticker indicating it had «1 Owner» and a clean title. Later, George explained to me that the cars he buys at dealer auctions have to meet his very high quality standards. In other words, his business model, unlike other used car lots, is to resell high-​caliber cars at an affordable price.
Part of what makes that work is very little overhead. The car lot isn’t fancy. In fact, it struck me as a bit rustic. You won’t see fancy furniture or art on the walls. Everything feels straightforward. And that includes the stuff that happens inside the office, like negotiating the price, which was very fare, and purchasing, which also happened smoothly. I drove off with my new Prius in a few hours, and I love my new car!
Would I recommend the Valley Auto Exchange? Absolutely. In fact, I’ve already referred a friend. And I’d personally purchase again from George in a heartbeat. If you want a great car at a great value, then go to the Valley Dealer Exchange. They even have children’s toys, if you bring the family, like I did!
