Alex Auto Sales

Alex will rip you off blind! He sold me a car knowing it had blown headgaskets. He had a temporary head seal put in. He stole from me 1500 $ I took him to court and lost because I signed the as is contract. I found 13 other people he has done the same to. BEWARE

Attention Unilocal new users! In case you had not noticed it, when somebody only has 5 stars reviews and 1 star reviews, he’s probably paying for some of them. Now you guess which ones.

Stay Away. I went with my friends to buy a car for a lady (i was there to take care of her and her deal). Hossein and Alex showed good respects however while we were in their office to sign the contracts I said hello to David and he didn’t reply. I was speaking with Hossein and we were agreed if we re seeing any leak for a week we will come back for fix. David asked who is the buyer and my friend replied. David said that guy worked hard on that car, funny, obviously i answered him this people worked hard for this money. I asked him why you showed bad attitude to me?! and he said i’m the owner and hossein doen’t have anything to do after. And he was pissed off, wtf where is the customer service!!! He went out and Alex came back to room and i told him your owner showed me very bad attitude and Alex told me i’m the owner!!! Who are we dealing with!!! David came back to office and shout to me and use f-​word and he throw the paper in our face. My friends and i scared and we walked out. I was about to call 911. David was a threat and he threaten me and my friends. He doesn’t even know how to respect the customers even a Lady.
NEVER buy a car from this dealer. Don’t go.

Alex and David really made this entire process as easy and comfortable as possible. they gave me a better deal than they probably knew they had to and was just an overall great guys to deal with. If I’d met them in another setting, I would never have guessed in a million years that they was a used car salesman. Best experience buying a used vehicle ever for me, I will send my friends there and go back to them the next time I need a vehicle. they even brought the car to my home for me. A++++++++ all around. Thanks again guys.

Regarding the person who wrote the unhappy post, there is a dealership next to Alex and yes, they were trying to sell me a lemon as well. However, when I wandered into to Alex Auto Sale lot (separated by a chain) I was greeted and treated with high respect. I bought a Toyota Camry and it is in great condition, inside and outside for a very good price. My daughter was just hit by a drunk driver that totaled her vehicle and took off. Needless to say, I will be going back to Alex to get a car for her.

I bought my Mitsubishi Montero from Alex he was so nice guy and the price was perfect for me so I recommend for every body need a nice used car to buy from Alex auto sale

I met David after viewing the Ads in Craigslist. I tried for two weeks to find a good deal in the 3−4k range and no sellers would take my money??? I went to Alex Auto Sales, and the had a great selection in the 3−6k range. They are like a typical dealer getting trade-​ins and impounds at auction. So some of the comments below are unrealistic. Anyway they made me a good deal, under bluebook with Tax and Licensing.
They also let me pay 75% down, take the car and give them the remaining 25% 10 days later. That was extremely cool, and made it easier for me to get a nice car that I actually wanted. When buying any used car you need a little luck, and they were helpful and honest. They even advised me not to get an 8 cylinder because my commute was 44 miles.
I had a great experience, paid under Blue Book. I recommend them!

Was looking for a car under $ 6000 for 3 weeks on craigslist and autotrader, didn’t find anything in good condition. Stopped by this place driving on my way to a different car lot, found a nice jetta and the engine was in good condition. Small coolant leak but I just needed to tighten a hose clamp. Cosmetically not too pretty but its nothing but a little bit of dust you can brush off yourself. Their cars are sold at low prices. Kelly blue booked the car at $ 4900 and I bought it for $ 4400 out the door.
David is a great and friendly guy that may at first seem like a regular salesman, but over time after talking to him he was an honest guy that just wants to make customers happy while making a living. He admitted he wants us to leave satisfied but he would also like to make a few hundred dollars after we did some long negotiating.
overall, I had a good experience. just go with a mechanic friend and understand that used cars are never sold perfectly. some people expect an amazing car at a low price. Minor problems are expected at all used car dealers.
I bought several used cars in the past.

Friendly greeting by «Dave» when I got there. Looked over the car I called about… lost interest as definition of «super clean» must mean something else to the dealership. After I told him thanks, but it’ not what I am looking for, he became rude, asked what I didn’t like about the car, I said «it really doesn’t matter»…he persisted for an answer, so I told him it’s a little rough… He started yelling at me and said «what do you expect for this price» and stormed away to his office.
Anyway…stay away unless 1) You have low expectations for condition and quality of a car, 2) prepared for rude behavior if you are not interested.

After searching for weeks for 3 cars to buy for my best friend and her daughters we car across Alex. We chose 3 cars, with the promise that he was honest and that anything that needed to be fixed would be. He claimed one car had an engine cleaner on it and it was burning off the engine when in fact it was a HUGE oil leak that had spewed all over the engine and they wiped the engine up and did not fix it, that same car had the back window fall into the door with a thunk, we took it back the next day, he took it to «HIS Mechanic» who supposedly fixed it and when it happened again we took it to our mechanic in Santa Clara who found the window was being help together by scotch tape and zip ties. Front struts were broken, and a few other issues. Other two cars had issues too. He did not tell us about 7 recalls on one of the cars, DMV would not issue the tags til it was taken care of. David at Alex Auto said he tried to call my friend several times to tell her about the recalls which he never did.
Alex sat in his office telling us that he would fix anything on the cars for a year. He said we might have to pay for it but it wouldn’t cost much. A week after we got the cars one of the girls went to the lot to bring something up that was wrong with her car and David yelled at her making her cry telling her they were trough with her and to get off the lot NOW.
I took Alex to small clains court. I had witnesses I had evidence I had $ 3500 in mechanic receipts and he sat there and tried to pull the AS IS clause. Thats all he said. He lied to the judge flat out. The judge found in judgement of me. Told Alex that the AS IS clause is being overruled. I paid cash for all 3 cars. NO Alex has the nerve to appeal which is his right, but now it goes to trial.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT AND I REPEAT DO NOT EVER BUY A CAR FROM THIS MAN. He is a thief and a liar as well as his partner David.

Ok, do yourself a favor and never buy a car here. I recently stopped in and looked at a few cars. There were in terrible shape, missing items, no air, cant pas smog, check engine light. All the owner said to all this was, «no problem»…well hello… t’s a huge problem buddy! They have zero customer service and had no care is me whatsoever, even though I was desperate to buy a car… and I found one through a private party on Craigslist. The place is a pit, plain and simple, you will be sorry!

I spent more than a month browsing through several craigslist posts, looking up carfax reports and visiting many dealers for test driving used cars. During that process, I visited Alex to look at a Honda Accord EX he had advertised on craigslist. I liked the car from its look. There were no scratches.
Alex was pretty cool and friendly. I told him that I cannot buy the car without my own mechanic inspecting it. Alex let me take the car to any mechanic I wanted. I got it checked and there were no issues. The tyres were bit old (since the car had 82K miles on it) but other than that, everything was perfect. I bought the car and all the paperwork was done by him on the same day.
I bought the car in Jan 2009 and am writing this review in March 2011. The car has been awesome since last 2+ years. I have not needed any repairs (except for the obvious tyre change) till now. Touchwood!
Now I need to buy another car for my wife and I would definitely go back to Alex and see what cars he has. I think he is quite nice and honest.

Lets just say… I went to test drive a car, it was junk… they tried to act like it was fine when it wasnt (major issues in a nice looking shell)! Long story short, I dont know who reviewed for them before me, but as the rating goes, I think not! This place has no good cars they are selling for a pretty penny… you guys should stop

Hello everybody!
We had a really good experience here.
We saw an ad in Craigslist for a vehicle that we were interested in, and upon speaking with Alex, the owner, we drove on down from foggy P-​town to sunny Santa Clara.
Located almost in the middle between San Tomas Expressway and the San Jose airport, Alex Auto Sales sits on El Camino Real on the south side of the street.
We were greeted affably by Alex, a knowledgable fellow. In perusing his selection of vehicles (mostly auction-​obtained, if memory serves), we found a darling little convertible that suited our needs perfectly.
We didn’t get the vehicle that day (we wanted to think about the purchase), and Alex had no problem with that. He mentioned that we could leave a deposit to give us first right of refusal. Of course, the deposit would be refundable if we didn’t choose the vehicle.
We decided to go with purchasing the vehicle, and on Monday we completed the transaction. All done quickly, professionally and in a friendly fashion.
The car had some minor repairs that were needed (the most important of which was the driver’s side power window regulator).
Alex promised that he would take care of the regulator, as soon as he was able to find the part.
About a week went by (no biggie, in our opinion), and we called Alex, and confirmed that the part was at his shop.
I drove on down there after work, and Alex’s mechanic took care of the installation of window regulator free of charge. We didn’t have to pay for the part or the installation.
Normally, I’m pretty damn leery of ANY car salesman-​type people, but Alex caused me to have a paradigm shift. Conscientious, honest and friendly are rare qualities in anybody, and I’m pleased to see that these types of values exist in business relationships as well as personal ones.
In short (or long, as I do tend to be verbose), we were really pleased with Alex and would recommend this place to anyone.
(I might even treat myself to one of the Mercedes convertibles that he has on his lot… HAH!)
:)
