Hertz Car Sales Pasadena

Jerry was phenomenal! I just bought a Nissan Versa here today and couldn’t be more grateful for the support, help and guidance Jerry offered. From the beginning, he wasn’t pushy and I could tell he had my best interest in mind. I came in by myself and he helped me look around. When I decided I needed to come back with my dad before I made a purchase, he wasn’t scared of me walking away. Previously I had come from two dealerships where the salesmen were too forward, and tried to push me into a decision without consulting anyone else. Thankfully Jerry was different. He was wonderful to work with and part of the reason I bought the car was because of him. I would definitely recommend him if you are looking to buy a car. My dad and I both thought he was a great guy! Go see for yourself. (:

Looked at cars online, came to look in person on Monday (Memorial Day). I knew they had likely sold the cars I was interested in, but I wanted to look anyway, and wanted to get a feel for the prices and their policies and figured if they got something in like I wanted they could let me know.
I was with my mom, and the name I was given for the first guy who helped us was «Gerardo», but in looking through the reviews, I’m guessing he goes by Jerry. This guy had an attitude right from the start, I’m guessing he thought we didn’t look like we could afford a car. I told him what I wanted, a Nissan Versa Note, had to be in the peacock color. He said they didn’t have that, and then he said «I guess we’re done here» because I said I was set on that. My mom and I were both taken aback by his attitude and rude comments. We came all the way to Pasadena, we wanted to look around and had more questions. I asked him how much a similar car was (Toyota Yaris), and he rudely said «Can I ask you a question? Why do you want to know the price if you’re not gonna buy it?»…Again my mom and I were shocked, I asked him to get someone else to help us.
Another salesman, Jesse came out. Asked him what the hell the other guy’s issue was. Told him we suspected he thought we couldn’t afford a car, pointed out my mom had just paid cash for the Nissan Leaf she had just bought the previous weekend. Anyway, Jesse was nice, and helpful, patient, and answered all our questions. I would consider going back, but I would steer clear of Jerry/​Gerardo. Never met a more arrogant and unhelpful salesman; who ironically works on commission.

Jerry is the real MVP.
I have been searching for a car for the past two weeks, and the other dealerships were sharks. From the first phone call, Jerry has been the best. Never once did I feel pressured. He was great at effective communication and made me feel like I was a friend rather than a client. There were two other salesmen at their own desks who also joined in on our conversations and made me feel very comfortable. Despite a few bumps, I had a smile throughout the entire experience-​a huge contrast to the places I had gone previously.
I bought a Nissan Versa SV and am loving it so far. As a young woman, I felt very respected by Jerry when I asked questions about the car. I would 110% recommend this place and Jerry if you are interested in finding a car.
P. S. Jerry, come to Buffalo Wild Wings and I’ll make sure to hook it up!

This is our first time buying from Hertz
And I have to say Mr. Dave is outstanding at this, he was great, the whole process went real smooth so we will definitely be back and I will let my family and friends know. It was a great buying experience
We got the SUV we came for and it was better than expected, very clean and in great shape.
Thank you
David and Guillermina

This was the fifth and final car dealer in my search for a used car and, I have to say, what a breath of fresh air.
You walk into the door and you know its a different kind of car dealer. There’s no fancy show-​rooms. No polished floors. This is a tiny, no-​frills office with three or four cheap desks where the sales crew sits, but don’t let that put you off.
I dealt with a salesman named Fred and found him to be a nice, personable guy who seems to enjoy his work. I told Fred about my recent annoying experiences with traditional car dealers (search my Unilocal reviews to read about the worst one). He said his sales philosophy was simple: «We have cars. If you like the car, you’ll buy the car. If not, you’ll go somewhere else.»
I was still skeptical, but it turns out Fred was a man of his word. There was no hard-​selling. No attempts to steer me to something more expensive. No attempts at pretend-​affordability through financing flim-​flam. He didn’t even go on the test drive with me. It was just me and the car to form my own opinions about it.
Now, these are rental fleet vehicles so I was skeptical about that as well. I saw two cars advertised online and worried that when I got there the cars would be much more beat up than they appeared online.
Nope. The cars were very clean and in great shape. Of the two cars I looked at, one was «like new» and the other was almost as nice.
Yes, the mileage was high for a car of its age, but that was stated clearly in the online ad. Further, the car is certified and automatically comes with a 12 month warranty, which offers some great peace of mind right out of the box.
I did opt for an extended warranty, which was much more reasonable than what I was finding at other dealers. I also opted for financing and got a better rate than the other dealers were offering.
Ultimately I purchased the car and am quite satisfied with the entire experience. Thanks to Fred and the rest of the team for making it easy.

My family has purchased a number of cars over a 26 year period from Hertz. First, like any rental company, you don’t know if the auto was in an accident unless it was major. They do their own body work. So that is a real unknown. They list accidents, but that is not really an outside verification since they may not report it.
But you are getting a car with 2 – 3 years worth of mileage, and while it may have been driven by a crazy person, it wasn’t that long for that one driver. I considered that a wash.
The actual car usually is the lower end models, but the discount is usually very good and it usually has some of the original warrantee left on it. Please Hertz offers a 12 mile, 12 month warrantee you do get the assurance that Hertz has kept up on the oil changes and since it was under manufactures warrantee, other things are usually fixed.
Twice we were warned to purchase extra 100,000 warrantee’s, and twice we used those extra cost items for transmissions. Both salespeople warned us on that fault on both the models and advised use to get them. It seems honest, because other cars they didn’t recommend such a extra cost item.
Benefits are also a good chance to test drive and really, no pressure. Also, no price changes unless the mileage is more than listed.
The first one I bought had a tire fail 45 days after I bought it. I called them and they said replace it and send them the bill. We did and they paid it promptly. That was impressive and why we keep going back.
Sometimes you can rent them to really get the feel of the car and have it checked by a mechanic, and they let you do a 2 hour test drive free.
They don’t carry all kinds of cars, but usually the cars have gone through their first 2 years of depreciation, which usually makes them a very good deal.
one of the best things is they are all over and list their cars and prices online! I saw one car listed and went to the dealer. He had one 3 years older, with more miles for a higher price. Yes, he might have come down, but that is a lot of work.
My cars were purchased in Riverside and Pasadena.
Finally, they have mostly small cars and lots of them. So if your are looking for something large with every bell and whistle on it, then you may never find it on Hertz.

A GREAT BUYING EXPERIENCE!!! At 1^st i was very skeptical and dreading the process of buying a vehicle but lucky JERRY BANDERAS help me out (i made an appointment over the phone). Its a no haggle price, which I loved and was assured it would be the lowest price (and after research it sure was!) The sales associate JERRY was very professional, patient and was very knowledgeable about the vehicles i was interested in. He thoroghly explained to me the rent to buy program/​process. The best thing he was never pushy and made me make the ultimate decision on what best fits me. After 3 days with vehicle i decided to make the purchase. (the process/​financing was quick and swift.) Never thought a car buying experience /​process would be so easy. Thank you Hertz. And I would definitely recommend JERRY BANDERAS to any friend or family. ask for JERRY.
I love my Car!

Who would have thought to BUY a car from Hertz? (East Colorado-​Pasedena CA) Great place to buy a vehicle. The only place that has NEVER pressured me to buy/​finance. Dave was my salesman, very professional, honest and consistent— Miguel, wrapped things up for me & with NO negotiation I was able to have low payments and a low interest rate— Thanks Hertz– Sincerly!

Excellent car buying experience at Pasadena Car Sales. Someone else said this Hertz location is a «hidden gem» and I think she is right.
This is our second time buying through Hertz car sales and both experiences were good. The first experience was buying directly off the lot in Ventura. This second car buying experience was our first time buying through the Rent 2 Buy program. There are advantages and disadvantages of buying through the Rent 2 Buy program. In the finale, Dave Bomberger handled the final paperwork on the Rent 2 Buy program at the Pasadena Hertz Car Sales and he did an excellent job.

Ok, After you get passed:1) They don’t offer water, but there’s a water fountain, 2) the building is totally outdated, 3) all the salesmen are in this tiny, tiny, dirty looking office. So nothing you say is private, 4) The sales team look like they have been beat to death (#GETSOME_FNENERGY#_MONSTER), you dismiss Jesse the salesman…
You find Juan. He is the best! Juan helped my niece buy her very first car today. Went there yesterday picked out a car. Needed some paperwork so we couldn’t take the car home yesterday, but we went back today and it took less than 1hr to complete all the paperwork (yes I timed it). The cars are better here, ask for Juan.
We also saw John C. Riley (He starred in the movie Step Brothers and was the voice of Wrecking Ralph). He dropped off a car on a Sunday when they were closed. But he was a star and got special arrangements! That was cool… Too bad he looks better in movies. No biggie. So do I. Lol!

Had a great experience, purchased two car from them. Great service and great people. Great times

Purchased a Dodge Caravan there yesterday. It was my first time ever buying a car and it was a hell of a day! Allen, was my car sales rep and he was kind, personable, and very thorough. It was a great experience! Thank you for all your help! I’m in love with my car and I named him Albus. :)

I like the no haggle philosophy because right away, I knew what the price would be. I appreciated that the sale person Jerry was not pushy and respected the fact that it took me a week to shop around at other dealerships before eventually returning to them. When I did return everyone was helpful and authentic. I bought a Toyota Yaris that I love but the next day I noticed a very minor scratch on the window that I didn’t notice before.
I immediately called and they told me to bring it back. Without any hesitation, the manager Kenny said they would replace it. I honestly was expecting a hassle but there was none whatsoever. They replaced it right away and the entire experience was very easy going.
Much much better than going through a typical dealership!

Super easy buying experience. They stick by their «no haggle» but the prices are fair and it takes the stress out of dealerships, where you have to put up a fight just to avoid getting swindled. Test driving was super easy, paperwork was straight forward.
Make sure to check their website for any deals they might have in place.
The only thing you have to «haggle» or decide whether to pay them extra for is warranty.

We came back after getting a car for my Fiancée. My car had been falling a part for years and we needed something decent for a good price. You cant beat price here, its great, but they are rental cars.
I picked up a Certified Pre Owned Sonic, and I love it, except that I had to take it into the shop a week afterwards and have extensive repairs done to the Air Conditioning which had previously worked. Luckily I had the warranty, so I only had to pay the deductible. I’m sure this was a one time thing, but still not ecstatic about having to fix a «Certified» car.

For a first-​time buyer, this place is an absolute hidden Gem. Allan Strong was my salesman. No BS, no pressure, very welcoming and friendly. Helped make my selection a breeze. Allan is the Best.
This place is nothing like other car dealerships, where you feel like they have a gun on you to make a decision. Absolute dream, cars are in wonderful shape, nice selection, ZERO BS.
Look for Allan. Paul in financing is a pure gem to do business with.
If you need a car, this is the first and only place you should go to.
It puts all other dealers to absolute shame! Kudos, Hertz.

We loved our car shopping experience with Hertz car sales. We went through the «Rent to Buy» program, and it was a good way to see if we really liked the car we bought. You can rent the car for three days, and if you like it, you can purchase it. The rental fee goes toward your purchase.
Dave and Kenny really took great care of us. Top notch service! They went above and beyond to make our experience great! We love the car we bought, and it was the easiest way to buy a great used car. I highly recommend anyone looking for a used car to try them out. They also have a surprisingly wide selection. We will definitely buy from them again!

An overall great experience. I highly suggest purchasing your car at Hertz Car Sales of PASADENA. Dave Bomberger and Kenny, the manager there were a pleasure to work with!
I had my eyes on one car and one car alone and yes — as I was told by many I was being just a bit to picky in what I wanted in my next car, I know. Well Dave Bomberger at Hertz Car Sales in Pasadena went over, above and beyond– even by Hertz’s standards I found out!
I was just in a terrible car accident at the end of July. I got hit by a kid who luck for me had good car insurance since my Honda Civic Coupe was totaled. Airbags deployed in which the passenger sides’ bag shattered the windshield! I am in very necessary Physical Therapy because of this unfortunate accident where the guy and his ins. accepted complete liability. But that’s another story.
So– when I was shopping around literally ²⁴⁄₇ and saw the exact car I was looking for; year, color, miles, trans, features, etc… but at a different Hertz car sales location, which happened to be impossible for me to get to and see since I was now without a car and to far to ask anyone for a ride.
Thinking Hertz is ‘Hertz’ everywhere; one and the same, they could get the car to a closer location for me since this was theee car I wanted– right?! Wrong. The guy at the ‘other’ location said without a second of hesitation, «Nope.» Apparently, according to him the lots are typically like franchises… who knew? Well after practically begging, all he had was a solid «No» for me. I just said, «Well I guess you don’t want to make a sale that bad then– thanks anyway.» Note: and to-​boot he did not stop calling and bugging me to get to his lot another 2 – 3 times which infuriated me.
Subsequently, in the mean time Dave over at Pasadena Hertz knew what I was looking for and had my heart set on, (since they just had what I was looking for but I missed it by a day and it was sold), he did not stop looking and finagling (sp?) and in less than 5 days– he did it! Dave went over and above and came up with how-​to-​get theee car for me –from the ‘other’ Hertz location by trading one of theirs for it. Dave had that car (my car), back on their lot in Pasadena before I could get my money together at the bank and find a ride to get there!!! Unbelievable! I was ecstatic! A rush deal on both ends. I could not thank them enough.

Purchased a car through the Hertz Rent2Buy program for my teenage son. You have 3 days to test drive a car you want to buy; not just 15 minutes around the block like what other car dealers normally want you to do.
Well, the price is already set. No haggling whatsoever so the «me-​against-​the-​dealership» price war has been eliminated. No more car dealership stress.
From here on the staff is always on your side, assisting you with any paper work that needs to be done. I got a two-​year old Mazda3 with around 42K miles for $ 10,800! The powertrain on this is still under factory warranty. Juan Hernandez in Pasadena assisted us from start to finish and he did a wonderful job. My wife would call him everytime she has a question during the multi-​day test drive and he’d dutifully answer everything that needs to be answered. I remember my wife would call from her office and from home with all sorts of questions and Juan would always have time to answer.
With the Rent2Buy program we were driving the car for a total of over 5 days even before we set ink on the car sale. Now that’s a real test drive!

Best place to buy a used car, hands down! No where else even comes close. Sorry carmax and over priced car dealers. Hertz Car Sales really hits a home run with this one.
You can specifically search online for the make/​model of the many, nearly new cars they have available. With Rent 2 Buy… you can rent the car for 3 days (test drive it, take it to your mechanic, etc) and if you want it… you buy it… rental cost applied to purchase. If you don’t.it’s just a 3 day rental… and you can try another vehicle. Prices below blue book, many still under warranty as most of the Hertz fleet vehicles are within a year or two old (with extended warranties also available)…no pressure car sales at its best. Only dilemma is… which car to choose.
Make sure to ask for Dave Bomberger. He assisted me with my purchase. They have a small, friendly and knowledgeable staff in Pasadena… and I think Dave is the best of the best! He’s knows how to make the whole car buying process quick, thorough and painless. I’m very happy he helped me. Dave and Hertz took the pain away from car buying and I will never buy a car anywhere else but Hertz Car Sales in Pasadena. You guys were awesome… Period. Thank you. A.
