The hype is real!! San Jose Car Store is good! Excellent choices, price range, and attitude. Perfect size lot, not too big to feel overwhelming, or too small to feel trapped. Plus awesome people running the lot!! Car shopping is intense, and San Jose Car store made me feel relaxed and comfortable with a feeling of still being in control and excited. What I was looking for they had, and they allowed me to test drive the car without worry, as well as letting me go over it for about 2 hours!! And never trying to upsell or move me to something I didn't want. The cars on the lot are not only priced fairly, but looked after and cared for. None of the vehicles look like they're just sitting, moved often enough to keep them stable. The interiors of the cars on the lot are impressive as well. Even cars you wouldn't exptect to look good for the age, are near perfect. Far better than most Craigslist finds. Do yourself a favor by calling San Jose Car Store if you're interested in a pre-owned vehicle. Solid place.

This place is a gem! They truly stand behind the quality and value of their vehicles. They had upgraded a major part in my car just before I bought it from them, and the part failed four months later. I asked if they could do anything about the situation, and they had the part replaced for me; within a week of the failure, I had my car back in working condition again. They did all the heavy lifting and were very pleasant throughout the process. Other than this one issue, my car has continued to run reliably and without incident.

Shane is an excellent businessman, and very caring. I still have my vehicle bought from them about 1.5 yrs ago. I've always thought that after-sales service is just as, if not more important than pre-sales. This business was a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. I've even recommended a co-worker here, who found what they are looking for. Small is truly beautiful. Shane and team will work with your situation. They've been in business long enough to get it right.

I love this car lot I bought my first car here in California from them and it was a great vehicle. I refer everyone who is strapped for cash and needs someone to work with them a little to this car lot. I just took my brother there and they are willing to work with him to get him in a vehicle that fits his needs. If you are looking for a first time vehicle or just trying to rebuild credit I suggest The Car Store to you all.

You brace yourself going into a car dealer. Prepare mentally for the oncoming “pushy salesmen.” And then… they don’t come. Instead, you get wonderful people who don’t try to “push” anything on you. They’re accommodating, they’re helpful and they listen. That was my experience with the Car Store and I would highly recommend them! Tim and Butch were really helpful! Wont be the last time I purchase a car from them! :)

  • Ragavon

Burt is an amazing sales man who will do everything he can to pair you with the car you need. Friendly, helpful, and a good selection of cars. Will be back next time I'm looking for a car. Edit: I did indeed go back for my next car. Once again recieved service that went above and beyond. All the staff are amazing and the prices cant be beat. Will be back for my next car

Butch was such a kind and wonderful person. I purchased my first vehicle from the Car Store. It was a great experience, there were no hidden fees or "salesman" pitch to guilt us to buying add-ons etc. My car was under $5000 and great quality. Support your local business!

  • Candyman

Wow, this place was great. Very friendly staff and good selection of cars under 10k. We bought a nice 2003 honda accord and love the car. Would highly recommend the car store to all my friends and family. Thanks Rudy and Shane for making this purchase a great experience.

  • chris brotherton

Traded a Honda Accord back to the car store for my Honda Odyssey….. accord was sold at an auction and new owner racked up $420 in citations…. Thanks to tim not removing my name from the title prior, all fees came back to me. Own up tim and pay the fees you caused.

  • Adrian Aguila

Picked up my Honda Fit 6 speed from the car store 2 weeks ago, wanted to leave a review after a few weeks of driving and the car has been great with no issues. Butch and Shane made this a great experience especially since I had to fly from Socal. Thanks guys.

  • Eric Wilde

The manager here, Shane, really helped my elderly mother find the right car for her - not the car that would net him the most cash. He has continued to help off and on through the months since the purchase as issues arose. I'd shop here again in a heartbeat.

  • Leslie Guinnane

I was somewhere else and they didn’t have the car they said they would have and the guy wasn’t there . Then I went to the car store and had barely any money down and no credit and I drove away with a car
