Wow, I never thought I would say I had a great experience purchasing a car, but Sal and his family made it so pleasant. They were easy to communicate with and so friendly. I got an amazing deal on the perfect car for my local food truck business. Sal even helped me look for other cars to make sure this one was the exact fit for us. I felt completely comfortable as a female purchasing a used car, which says a lot about their establishment. 10/10 would recommend for anyone who is thinking about getting a used car in the Bay Area!
FIVE STARS ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ All the way! Exceptional service from start to finish! Thank you Sal and your brother for making this experience sooooooo smooth! Yama Auto Brokers are a class act family owned and operated business! My daughter purchased a Toyota RAV4 yesterday from them and we couldn’t be happier with our experience and the car!
I got the best deal online. To good to be true? Sal at Yama Auto Brokers is the best.I live in Northern California where the car dealers overprice cars, because we have to drive about three hours to get to the next dealer. I searched locally for a good deal on a used Honda Odyssey for months and visited several dealerships in my town. High miles and high prices. Finally, I started looking online and found my 2017 Honda Odyssey with low miles for an excellent deal at Yama Auto Brokers. Too good to be true. Thousands of Dollars below what I found locally. Honestly, I was afraid to buy a car online, but Sal from Yama Auto Brokers did everything possible to convince me that I was not going to get scammed. I had many questions, and he answered them patiently. He showed me every inch of this van on face-time. He did not pressure me at all, and I asked him questions several days in a row. After I told him that I am buying it, Sal sent the paperwork to me via FedEx and I returned it to him signed via the pre-paid envelope. It was easy. In the meantime, Sal had the van serviced by Honda and he had it detailed to look like new. He sent me pictures of the van being loaded up for delivery. The delivery driver sent updates and arrival time estimates. Long story short my shiny van arrived at my front door. Everything was exactly as promised. Sal was the friendliest car sales person I have every dealt with (and since I am up in age, I have purchased many cars already). Mike the delivery person was also very nice. I give Sal, Yama Auto Brokers, and their delivery person an A+. You can trust them to purchase your vehicle online.It all seemed to good to be true, but this transaction was good and it was true!See pictures of my shiny minivan loaded up and ready to come home.Thank you.
I had bought a Toyota highlander From Yama two years back and there was minor bumper fix to be done and Yama was happy to do take care of it when I bought it. But due to covid I was not able to visit him.Fast forwar to present I thought it was really odd to remind and go back to them to fix it. I anyways just gave a call..to my surprise Yama himself followed up and took care of it without charging me a single penny!please note its been two years and Car itself is in great condition! Highly recommend Yama if you are looking for cars!Thanks Yama!
Excellent experience! I worked with Sal and he’s just great. I learned about his family, he learned about mine, and we were even able to make a deal over the phone before coming in (which he honored 100%). I felt like Sal understood my situation, used as much empathy as a salesman can (haha), and definitely delivered exactly what we hoped to receive. The car is awesome, he had it detailed before we got there, the paperwork took less than 2 hours (no, really!), and the atmosphere was casual, stress free, and straightforward.I will literally never go anywhere else. Why suffer through the dealership experience when you can feel like you’re chatting with a friend?
I would highly recommend anyone who is looking for a used vehicle to come here. This family business is great. They gave a great price on a van I am now using for my growing family.Thank You Yama Auto Brokers!
Hands down, Sal and his family provided the best car-buying experience Ive ever had.This is the first time Ive purchased a car from Yama Auto Brokers, but I have already referred several friends to them and wouldnt hesitate to work with them again next time Im in the market.We purchased a showroom perfect Honda CR-V, got a great price, and left feeling super confident in Sal and in our purchase. I was never pressured or talked into buying at any step in the process. The entire process was transparent, and as Id never considered buying a car with a salvage title before, having full transparency with all the information available was critical to my comfort and confidence.Sal was straightforward and didnt hold back any detail. He went above and beyond to help me with small things after the purchase was complete (like finding an extra spare key and someone to program it, at a reduced price, and offering to help me source a cargo cover at a discount).Overall, this was the least stressful and most enjoyable car buying process Ive ever had and I would highly recommend working with this wonderful, family owned business, anytime!
Hello communityI normally don’t review places BUT this business is fantastic!! See, over the years I bought many cars; but the experience I had at Yama is really great, everyone there makes you feel at home and that they really care for you and that you are satisfied with your transaction. In my case I had Yama helping me and he was so committed to take care of me and he did!! We had to take my car to fix an issue and he called every single day with updates, not many places do that. And now is time for me to enjoy this awesome car.
Yama Auto Brokers is the best! They are super nice and very helpful. Sal is the man! He helped get get an awesome deal on financing! I would highly recommend them for your next vehicle purchase!
Very great and friendly assist to help me find the car I want
BEST PLACE TO BUY A CAR! Yama Auto Broker from the start has been extraordinary with every single part of buying a car. As for me, I had very bad experience with dealerships and other car places. I been searching and looking for cars for months, when I finally discovered this place. From the moment I walked in, there whole family greeted me with such genuine welcome; its unbelievable, Ive never had this kind of service at a dealership or other places. The car I bought was amazing; I fell in love the moment I saw it.They quoted me with a like the BEST PRICE EVER on a HONDA ACCORD 14 EX-L. Im truly splendid with the service I have received. Thank you YAMA for the GREAT service and making the process super easy. Keep up the Good Work and being truthful, it sincerely means a lot.
A great family run business, I got the car of my dreams after searching high and low for six months. I worked with Sal and was able to meet his brother and parents. You’re in amazing hands with this lovely family run business. Extremely fair and relaxed customer experience. Tell them Lynn sent you!
If i could rate 6 stars i would. My dad and I came in not expecting to but a car, but Sal was so incredible and gave us an amazing price that we just couldn’t turn it down! Out of all the car dealerships Ive been too, Yama Auto brokers has been the best in customer service and deals. Thank you for giving me my dream car and making the whole process easy and enjoyable!! Highly recommend Yama Auto Brokers to buy your next car! Thank you!!!
Easy, low pressure place to find quality used cars. I appreciate the good communication (and lunch recommendation) from this family owned business. Thanks Yama and Sal!!
Places like this are like a big breath of fresh air. So many car places i have been to or talked with, i feel like i have to put on armor to do battle because of the aggressiveness and dollar signs that cover the eyes of whomever i am dealing with from seeing me as a human being, not just a calculation. Sal immediately contacted me when i left a message about one of their vehicles. He was completely transparent, honest, and forthright, and helpful. It is so incredibly clear that this family cares about people. In this family owned and run business, i was made to feel like i as a human being mattered, and my needs mattered-- more than just getting a sale. i am telling everyone i know in the area to look for their car at Yama Auto Brokers first.
Very friendly but I believe they use that to their advantage to reel you in. Listen carefully to what they sell you, I wasn’t told about a dealer fee when confirming my loan. I agreed on their 2,500 deposit and was told to only state to the bank that I put down 1,500 to later find out that the dealer used the other 1,000 to pay a fee they were responsible for so I got screwed on my deposit for them being crooked. Most of their cars are branded title for “theft” so be careful and listen to every detail if they are truthful.
I recently bought a car from Yama Auto Brokers this past June. I was very pleased with my experience with them. Thank you Yama, I am very happy with my Honda Civic.This is the second time my family has purchased a car from this dealership. Shoutout to Sal for helping my dad with his Nissan Frontier.This is a great family owned business. They took the time to answer our questions and explained every detail to the fullest. They also took appropriate measures to ensure social distancing and wore face masks the entire time of our visit.I highly recommend checking out this dealership. Great customer service.
I purchased a vehicle from Sal at Yama Auto Brokers a few weeks ago. Sal was awesome throughout the process, I reside in Georgia and the car was in California. Sal was awesome at reassuring me that I was buying a great vehicle and went above and beyond to make sure I was able to purchase the vehicle and get it to Georgia!! Check him out he’s GREAT!!!
I purchased a 2008 Toyota Camry hybrid with 71,000 miles from Sol yesterday.It was great to work with someone with such knowledge regarding cars because I do, do my research.Such a great experience! I am pushing 60 this year and have purchased around 25 cars in my lifetime this was the first time that I felt like I wasn’t just another sale.Great working with a family business who puts the customer first and really does, And also nice that Mom was in the office.Great job Yama family!! I will return!Robert&Yolanda,and Matteo
Came here during early December, to buy my mom a SUV. Saw a listing on FB that seemed to good to be true tbh. Lowest price on the market with the lowest mileage as well. Saw the same model/trim at other places that had 15k+ more miles and still more expensive. Never bought a car from a dealership so I brought a family member with me, so I won’t be duped. Greatest experience of buying a car, very transparent, and the two brothers that work there were super friendly. I see why they get a lot of 5 stars reviews. Told me everything I needed to know, answered all of our questions with respect. (Even the tough questions). Told us how they required the car, there business model, and made sure I was comfortable with everything. Definitely gonna buy all my cars from here in the future, and recommend others to do so. They’re a small business which I definitely support. Gave some time to write this review to see how the car would perform to see if there any failures. But none, my mom loves the car (which was pretty much brand new), and I wish I had it tbh lol. Honest people who do honest work. Not going to a regular dealership again. Awesome place. I bought a 2018 HONDA CRV EX-Sport. Thank you for the car✊🏽
We are pleased with the wonderful and very friendly staff. I highly recommend yama auto brokers.
Best car shopping experience. Sal was very honest and helpful from the start. He was not pushy at all and gave me plenty of time to look around and pick my car. I had terrible experiences with car dealerships which made me a little nervous about coming here but I was not disappointed. I got an amazing deal and purchased the car that same day. I recommend him 100%.
More than FIVE STARS service. They are not trying to sell you crab. Quality and LOW mileage cars.They are honest, promptly service and help. This is the best family business I ever met. Strongly recommendation to you friends.
Great place! I purchased a 2013 Honda Civic from Sal at Yama Auto Brokers. Sal is not only incredibly nice but he was very trustworthy and professional. He was always so attentive to when I had questions about the car and made the overall experience fast and easy. I highly recommend Yama Auto Brokers, not only is it family owned but they truly care about their customers.
Great experience at aYama Auto brokers I would definitely recommend them to friends and family. The auto car buying process was simple and fast.
Yama is a very good company. I bought a car in Yama last month. Yama is very professional and he is also a very interesting person. The car I bought is perfect and clean. He provided me with a lot of help and solved many problems before and after the sale. Yama is a company that I am very relieved and trusted.I’m really appreciate them. I got a very pleasant purchase from Yama Auto Brokers!
Knowledgeable and trustworthy! When I first called about a used Civic Hybrid, Sal was able to tell me everything I needed to know about the vehicle. When I went to see it, there was no problem taking it on a long solo test drive. I was able to take the car home that day, and all the paperwork was handled super efficiently. Ive had the car a few months now and feel very confident about my purchase!
I found these guys to be stand up professionals, I will be doing more business with them..
I went with my dad on August 30, 2019 to go and look at a 2018 Nissan Kicks only 153 miles from Sal. The car looked like it was in pristine condition and the price was amazing for the year and mileage. We stopped by and tested it out. The best customer service and sales experience anyone can ever have. You get a warm greeting and the trust to fully inspect the car for any faults. The best part of all is that you never feel rushed to buy the car. Sal said you can drive the car come back and if you want to think about it or go look at other cars your welcome to do so. You dont feel pressured to buy a car but with the prices and the warm family environment its hard to go somewhere else to purchase a vehicle.I have been driving this car for a month now and am very pleased.I would highly recommend Yama Auto Brokers and wouldnt be surprised if I found myself buying my next car there again! Thanks again, Sal!
I had such a great experience with my recent purchase at Yama Auto Brokers! Yama and his younger brother were patient with my questions and helped my experience be as smooth as possible.
Purchased Infiniti M37 model from yama Auto brokers. The guys were really great in showing the car, went above and beyond in helping out to get what I wanted.I appreciate how quickly and easy the whole experience; from test driving to processing paperwork .Great customer service - recommended
I bought my car from Sal 5 years ago, and it was the best experience I ever had. He’s not pushy, and extremely down to earth. He doesn’t front with the price either, he’s giving you the best deal off the bat. You don’t feel pressured and he give some you the time and space you need. That said, you may try to leave and browse more options online, but believe me - this is as good as it gets! Im 100% certain! I haven’t changed my car yet due to the incredible condition the current car Sal sold to me has maintained, but through the years, I have thought about it and have always always gone to Sal first. Come check it out here, it’ll be one of the best decisions of your life! You won’t regret it!
Great family Business! Ive been looking for a 350Z nismo for a long time, They made the process quick and easy. Very helpful and great service! Felt welcomed as soon as I walked in. Highly recommend buying a car from here if you find what youre looking for! Fair prices and dont make you feel pressure like other dealers!
I had never bought a car from a used car dealer but my experience with Sal and his family and team here was absolutely FANTASTIC. he was not pushy, he was honest and I followed p about 10 months later when I needed copies of my purchase transaction he was immediately responsive and very helpful. I LOVE MY CAR and will come back in the future every time i need a new (used) car. I was nervous to go to a used car dealer, but my experience was EXCEPTIONAL! And the car now after two services at the dealer, is still in perfect condition still nearly a year later! GREAT COMPANY! GREAT CARS!!!
100% HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A NICE CAR FOR A GREAT DEAL. Its a family run business that has been there for 28 years. That summarizes it all. They trust their customers and so do I trust them. I trust them for the great deal and great condition cars they sell. They handle all the paperworks for you and even if you are a first time car buyer, they do their business with heart and honesty. No wonder why they have regular customers who come back years after. I look forward to the future business with them. Thank you Sal, I can now drive home safe from work instead of biking especially in this rainy season! :)
Yama Auto Brokers is where its at! Best prices in town guaranteed! Im so thankful I stumbled across Sal, Yama and his family. They are for sure a family oriented business and make you feel like youre family too. Sal came through for me not once but twice. Hes very understanding and fair. Honest and true. Its refreshing to have come across Yama Auto Brokers as I felt instead of taking advantage of me as a single mother in need, Sal and his family instead, were truly concerned how they could help. Ive made many car purchases and wish I had come across them much sooner! Sal has gone above and beyond for my family. Sal came through with what I needed and what was best for me! They definitely care about their customers. I bought 2 cars with Sal and I will return for all future car sales with him because when I went elsewhere I just wasnt given the same respect. Professional, and very thorough. When youre doing business with Yama Auto Brokers, youre getting an honest fair deal and theres no doubt their prices are the best! 5 stars to the entire family!
We have purchased two amazing cars from Yama Auto Brokers. First car was for our daughter at college, we got her a Genesis for a steal. We worked with Sal and he was honest, direct and upfront on the whole process. The car has been with us now for over 6 months, not one single issue. Daughter LOVES it. Just last weekend after working directly with Sal to locate my dream car we found one and the whole process was second to none. I consider Sal a friend now, he was in contact with me constantly while we hunted for the perfect car. He found me an 2018 Audi Q5 for way under KBB! He was honest, upfront and direct through the whole hunt and details, the car had a small scratch on the back and he fixed it! When we went to do the paperwork and pick up our car the whole family came in and every single person in the family is so sweet and friendly. We will work directly with Sal to purchase any car we need in the future, hes already looking for our next drivers car!
I cant say enough good things about Yama Auto Brokers. Yama know the car business exceptionally well and have a strong commitment to customer service and doing things right. He has a great collection of Clean title and Salvage title cars, I purchased Toyota Highlander from Yama and I am very happy with the purchase.Highly recommend!
This was a great car buying experience! Ive been shopping around for a car with bad credit and no cash (bummer) no body wanted to finance me. I called Yama Auto Brokers Co., and drove from South San Francisco to Hayward to meet with Yama, who was able and willing to help me. He founded a bank that was willing to finance me. He also worked with my budget and I got my self my 2006 Mazda. Yama was very professional, helpful and very friendly. Im 100% satisfied and I highly recommended! Thank you Yama and family!
Sal & Fam are great people who truly take care of their customers. They go out of their way to help you out and that’s what separates them from all other car dealers. If you see what you’re looking for in their inventory, don’t hesitate give them a call!
They are the best I loved everything about them they were really professional I bought a Lexus GS 350 in tip top shape I will be doing business with them again when I went I watch 5 people buy cars in one day they are good at whet they do
After looking for a car for 20 days, Sam found and gave us a great deal for my Audi SUV my husband was looking for me. Deal got done in 30 min unlike dealers where it takes forever... Will be a repeat customer.
Best experience buying a car ever! No hassle, no pressure. Called ahead and car was clean and ready to test drive. Bought the car and love it.If they have what youre looking for, dont look any further. You wont find another deal that has better condition, mileage or price.
Its been great to have found Yama Auto Brokers a few years back, because I dont have to look anywhere else when I need to get a car. I have purchased 3 cars from them over the past 2 years (Lexus RX400h and Kia Optima for myself, Hyundai Santa Fe for my mom) and plan to continue going to Yama Auto Brokers for future purchases.I dont usually post reviews, but feel I need to share the gem of a family business at Yama Auto Brokers. Sal & Yama provide excellent customer service, and its great to have met the whole family and know each other on a first name basis. In addition to the quality cars in their inventory to choose from and the fair market value, I trust the attention they put into making sure the cars are ready to drive day 1 and that theyve done all the necessary due diligence for their customers. After I got my first car with them, I went back 6 months later to purchase a car for my mom. When I was in need of another car 2 years later, I intentionally came back to Yama Auto Brokers to purchase my car from them (Sal even helped me to get additional money back from my insurance company!).As I dont usually want to spend much time shopping around for cars, its been great for me to have found a reliable, friendly, and trustworthy local family business, where I can go for my car purchasing needs. Thank you Sal & Yama for your great customer service and reliable vehicles over the years!I continue to highly recommend Yama Auto Brokers to family and friends who are in need of a car!
Hands down the best customer service & great deals!We came to Yama back in 2011 and got a Nissan Altima in perfect condition, low mileage and clean title! We love it still but came back this year for a second vehicle! Once again Yama was there for us and we found a Nissan Rouge, low mileage, clean title and perfect condition!Highly recommend Yama to everyone!They always have great stock and amazing deals!Thanks Yama for being so awesome!
Buying a used car is typically a very overwhelming experience for someone like me who knows nothing about cars; however, these guys are different. I walked in for the first time expecting the typical car lot vibe but instead was greeted with a no pressure, laid back family atmosphere which instantaneously made me feel more comfortable. Both Yama and Sal are professional, charismatic and know everything there is to know about cars. They really simplify and streamline the entire car buying experience and make sure you leave with all your questions answered. Over the years Ive bought both an Audi A4 and an Audi Q7 from them and have had no problems with either car. They have a unique niche and because of that their prices are unmatched. I wouldnt hesitate to buy another car from them in the future and would highly recommend them to others looking for a trustworthy place to buy a car from.
Yama was very easy, transparent and honest in their dealings. Were up front about the car history, open to any inspections but clear about the pricing which was good from the start. They drove the car to Pleasanton so we didnt have to drive back to Fremont the next day. Arranged all the registration as promised. Great experience. Easy to recommend to others. Plan to use them again in the future.
I highly recommend that if you are in the market for a new car, check in with Yama before you do anything else. I purchased my new car recently and it was and has been the smoothest and most pleasant and honest transaction that I have ever experienced with purchasing a vehicle. The car was just what I was looking for and the price and service was perfect. With the help of Sal, Yama and their father, I am 100% satisfied and I can guarantee that anyone else that deals with them will be just as satisfied!
10/10 recommend to anyone looking to buy a used car. The guys there are very helpful and not looking to swindle your money. They make buying a car personal (talked about the NBA every time I went in) and have personally helped me with questions I have had even a few weeks after buying the car.I bought a 2009 WRX with pretty low miles at a great price. I went back and forth to the shop (personal preference) to look at, test-drive, and inspect the car and not once felt pressured to buy it on the spot. Will definitely be recommending these guys to friends and family and coming back when the time comes.
Purchased a 2014 Lexus with 17k miles and had a great experience purchasing from this family owned business. Worked with Yama, his brother and Father.Honest and straight forward business and offer good price cars and more importantly, as you can see from their inventory....the are selective in picking quality low mile cars.Highly recommend!
Friendly as can be. I felt like I knew Yama from the first time i spoke with him. Yama and his family answered all of my questions thoroughly. After a hassle of searching for cars, working with Yama was a breath of fresh air. Thank you!
Picked up a 2018 gmc canyon from yama and Sal. This is truly a family owned and operated business. I came in test drove the immaculate truck and within 2 hrs I was on my way home. They made sure I had everything I wanted or needed and made the process very streamlined. I couldnt be happier with my purchase and plan on calling them back next time Im in the market! 5 stars isnt enough
Best auto buying experience Ive had. Awesome family business, great selection of vehicles and very laid back atmosphere. Yama and his family are friendly, wonderful people. I definitely recommend this business to anyone in the market for a new vehicle!
I worked with Yama and his Dad. They treat me like family. The service and accommodation was the best I have gotten from a dealer. I bought my Cadillac here for the best price on the market. I definitely recommend them to anybody that’s planning to buy a car.
Weve now bought our second branded title (salvage) car from Yama and wouldnt hesitate to buy again. Great deals, great cars, and Sal and his family are honest and forthright. Great family run business that prides itself on honesty, integrity and customer satisfaction. Highly recommend!!!
These guys are honest and hard working
I was blocked at work for a few days and had my dad swing by to look at a nice vehicle on the lot. Him and Yama had a good talk and they held the car for me until I could get away the week after. I also liked it, bought it on the spot! There were some minor maintenance issues shortly after which they immediately took care of, as a courtesy. Very laid-back and honest attitude, you wont be bs:ed or talked into a deal youre not comfortable with here.
I was looking to buy a car for about 3 months. Most of the cars I have checked from Craigslist did not look in real like they were described. Both dealerships and owners would make cars look great on the picture but once you go there you find that something is not working and condition of the car is not appropriate with the price.But Ive got luck!Yama Auto Brokers - its honesty, quality and reasonable prices.Absolutely great people which I have had a pleasure to have a business with.I bought my car without any doubts and love it today even more than three months ago.Will definitely recommend to my family and friends.
Recently bought a car here for my son. Great experience. Staff is friendly and professional. Pricing is great. Not a lot of wiggle room on pricing, but thats ok because their prices really are that good. Bought a 2012 Honda Civic with very low miles. Car is clean, runs fantastic, and will make a great car for my son in college. I highly recommend this family owned and operated business.
I purchased 2014 Audi Q5 from them last year. Recently I have some issues about vehicle registration renewal so I go back to visit them. They are very helpful, kind and really care for you. They get everything all set within one week. Im very satisfied.
Great guys, really honest. If you want a dope new whip highly recommend them
I got my Honda car few years ago from Yama auto. The quality of my car is very good and I didnt have any major problems with my car so far..(Yeah!!) Before I brought my car from them, my sister also brought one Honda car from this place too and her car is still doing very well now. The family is also very friendly and nice. Few months ago, I lost the code for the radio and GPS during the time I changed a new battery for my car. I called back to Yama and the guys is very nice and help me fix this problem.
Recommended! 2 thumbs up!Taking over this business from father, Yama has partnered up with his brother to expand this family business. Yama is also a Haas graduate so he treats Cal alumni like family :) Go bears! Hes very open to discuss and clarify any questions you may have, and when you finally decide to make the purchase, his transaction process makes sure that all of the paperwork is ready so that youll get all of your documentation quickly and painlessly within the week from the DMV.Dont hesitate to give him a visit!
Had a great buying experience with Yama and loved the hassle free and wonderful costumer service. Great people to make business with. Got a great deal on my genesis coupe and looking forward in making business again, Thanks Yama!!
Great family owned business got a car for good price honest and straightforward. I highly recommended if your looking for affordable decent car.
From first hand experience of purchasing my first car; Sal and Yama knows the meaning of having a customer leave satisfied and they go out there way to get you the car that suits you best with no pressure. Its not like I bought a Lamborghini or a G Wagon but I left with the car best for me and havent regretted it a bit.
Yama gave me a great deal on 2015 Dodge Dart Limited (purchased 07/29/17). My mechanic just completed my post-buy inspection and even hes jealous! The vehicle was exactly as advertised (actually maybe a little better). No pressure sales and a family-owned and operated business run by guys that treat you like part of the family. I love Yamas personal nature and that he considered our families needs. Very workable, great bargain, outstanding products. If there is a vehicle you are looking at from them - you wont regret your purchase.
Great place to buy a car. Great sell people, will 100 times recomend if you are looking for a car.
Few months I bought back my car from Yama auto. Service was superior and experience was really good. very smooth process . good customer service. also Good deal too.I ran into issue with DMV for registration renewal of that same car after 5 month. . i thought to call yama and explain whole story. Yama listened me well and immediately offered me help and he said he will take care situation and i dont need to worry about it even it was not his fault .He was amazing and he resolved the issue with DMV within 48 hours and i got my registration at home . I really appreciate his help and quick response. Very good customer care..very few dealers take care of you after buying a car with them. He is best. Thanks
Honest family run business. Sal sold me a mint condition low miles midsize SUV for an amazing price. No haggling. Highly recommended!
Good family run business. Give them a try.
We really like our little altima great price. Family run business makes for a pleasant car buying experience. I would recommend yama auto.
I am so happy with Yama auto brokers the people that work there are so nice and they have a great service also they have the best cars they are the best dealership in the Bay Area .....I highly recommend Yama auto brokers.
I bought my Volkswagen jetta from them. I am happy with my car and their great customer service. They were very helpful through the entire process. Would recommend my friends too.
I highly recommend Yama for anyone interested in used cars. He is very upfront with his business strategy, which results in a stock of vehicles which often have lower mileage than one would expect and in excellent condition. We purchased a clean-title 2018 Toyota Yaris iA with only 3,000 miles on it. The price was reasonable, and he is quite transparent and honest about every transaction being a win-win for everyone.Most importantly, Yama is willing to go the extra mile to satisfy his customers - he is very knowledgeable about all the details that go into purchasing a used car and dealing with local bureaucracy with the state and with the car dealers. For us, he got us a spare key fob, owners manual, armrest accessory, paint, and license plates and for a lesser price and hassle than trying to acquire them all on our own. If you have a question, hes got an answer.We had a great experience buying from Yama, and the least I could do was spread the word!
I highly recommend anyone whos looking to buy a car to check out Yama Auto before any other dealers!!!!! No joke.Its my very first time writing review on Yelp, I just believed that Yama Auto deserved it. Buying a car with a good deal is really not easy, but if you are looking to buy a new/like-new car that Yama Auto has listed, dont hesitate, call them(Yama/Sal the two great brothers ) up and experience the awesomeness that you will never find from all other dealers. They are a family owned business, so they dont get commission and so wont push you to buy the car, you will get to know their detailed family and business background/style before they tell you about the cars, they have their unique style selling cars, you will be treated like a family wether you buy it from them or not. As for me, it was a great pleasure buying a 2018 Altima from Yama and Sal, the best deal of the century that will make everyone envious lol...
I just purchased a highlander 2018 on Yama Auto Brokers, excellent experience buying on this family owned business.
Great place and great people. They were so nice and help me fix a minor issue caused by towing company, while I was going there for oil change.
This is the ANTI car dealership! At Yama Auto you will not have to deal with pushy sales people, all day negotiations, inflated prices, and sneaky up-sells/charges. If they have the car you are looking for I would HIGHLY recommend reaching out and taking a look. When working with Yama Auto you are working with small family business ran by three brothers, father, and mother. One thing that stood out from my experience is the follow up. They ALWAYS follow up even after the sale which is really hard to find with any business these days. We ended up purchasing two vehicles from them and are super happy! This will be our first option moving forward if I am in the market for another car.
Thats why they call me KD. -YamaYama Auto Brokers made my first car buying experience amazing! Ive visited quite a few dealerships the past two months but none of them compared to these guys. Yama and his family made me feel welcome, no sales pitch just straight to the point. I came into Yama Auto Brokers knowing what I wanted due to their AMAZING and UNBEATABLE prices! I found their ad on Craigslist and thought their pricing was a mistake but theyre the real deal. Yama cares about his customers and isnt just trying to make a sale. I would recommend everyone to check out Yama Auto Brokers because they are the best at what they do!!
If I could buy a car every week from Yama, I would! Such a great experience and I love this car! I did a lot of research so a good portion of my satisfaction is also due to my diligence.I initially responded to a Craigslist ad via text and received prompt, clear and friendly responses from Sal which included photos, the original sale sticker, and a CarFax. I went down to see the car the next day. I really liked the car and I liked Sal and his family even more. They are a family-run business and I felt like I made instant friends with Sal and his family.On to the business side of things. I asked to have a third-party pre-purchase diagnostic (at my cost) done on the car and they gladly took it to the local Kia dealer for that. The car only had 3600 miles on it so I really didnt expect much, but wanted that inspection for piece of mind, at least. Kia found a few minor things and Sal took care of them for me. Broken dust shield under the engine which he purchased and had installed, missing tire mobility kit & slime, missing cargo net and also obtained a second key & fob for me at dealer cost.After we did our deal I discovered a cargo organizer under the rear deck was missing (only because I asked my Kia Soul EV Facebook group if I was missing anything under the deck) and Sal also got that for me at cost. I was a little miffed that the purpose of my pre-purchase inspection was to uncover anything missing or broken and Kia service fell a little short of uncovering everything for me. It was only because of my own curiosity that I noticed the tire kit, the cargo net, and the cargo organizer were missing. I have since noticed that the tow hook is also missing. All of this reflects on Kia service falling a bit short on their inspection (they missed the cargo organizer and tow hook) but Kia was very accommodating on the phone when I brought up everything I needed.Kia service does not in any way reflect on my experience with Sal at Yama...their service was absolutely perfect. Mom even put the cargo organizer in when I was there a few weeks later getting my parts and plates. Talk about the whole family getting involved! Yama, Sals brother, also took an active role in the process running off to get my second key cut and fob programmed and getting me a dealer price on that as well.I really like their location. Very non-traditional and more importantly NON-CORPORATE! They have an efficient little office behind which is a warehouse with twenty or so cars parked door to door, bumper to bumper. Hey, its not a huge open car lot with a high overhead. They have a variety of cars and they all look pretty darn clean. They hand-pick them at various auto auctions.It was really enjoyable hanging out and talking to Sal and Yama while I was waiting for the shield to be installed and the key made/fob programmed.I would not hesitate to buy from them again, and Ive already referred friends and co-workers to check them out. I think its important as well to buy from a family business.Check them out. Search Yama Auto Brokers on San Francisco Craigslist to check out their inventory.Thanks, Yama Auto Brokers.
Bought a tundra form Yama great truck, great price, was the best experience I have had buying vehicle hands down. Awesome customer service.
They were very polite. My bestie bought a Volvo XC60. Very clean and were very accommodating.
I was VERY SKEPTICAL of Yama auto brokers. I had been shopping for a van for my family. I wanted a backup camera, dvd, and low mileage. I settled between the Honda Odyssey or Toyota Sienna.I had been to the regular car dealers in Fremont automall, Carmax, Santa Clara Stevens creek, Dublin, and concord. All were a bust. They either wanted too much $, would not work with my budget. Those dealers also sold early 2000 Odysseys and siennas at over $10k with over 150,000 miles. Talk about a swindle.On Craigslist it was even worse, private sellers we went to we’re selling vans with bad catalytic converters, check engine lights, front and rear damage. The ones that seemed decent turned out to have problems once I did the test drives. Others wanted me to pay for the smog check but wanted me to buy it first. A big NO NO.I stumbled upon a Craigslist ad for Yama auto brokers. I checked their yelp reviews and saw all the 5 star reviews. I thought all these reviews must be FAKE and paid for by Yama.I stopped by and saw it looked like a scene from The Godfather car chop shop. Sketchy and you wouldn’t want to be there at night. My instincts told me to not even bother and just pass this place up.Well, I am glad I DID NOT trust my instincts. It turned out to be the best car purchase experience I have ever done.Yama was very accommodating, his mom and dad were there. They asked me what I wanted and they had a 2012 odyssey with dvd, backup camera, 75,000 miles, and get this, a built in refrigerator! All for $11,900!He drove me to another lot where the van was, had me drive it back to the office. He gave me the Carfax, The usual back and forth banter ensued, he actually told me after only 5 minutes, take the van by myself and take it home for an hour for my family to look at!He copied my license, I drove it to my place, and my wife and kids thought I had already bought it! We inspected EVERYTHING, DVD player, we walked it around, took it on the freeway. I even took it to a nearby mechanic friend, he inspected it top to bottom for structural damage, he hooked up a code scanner, all the codes were clear. He couldn’t believe the awesome condition it was at and the price purchase.I took it back after 2 hours and purchased it. I am absolutely happy!I will purchase all my future cars from Yama auto brokers
I bought a used Subaru Forester from Yama in January 2017 and it was a great experience. I financed the car with Tech CU and Yama took car of the paperwork and DMV. Awesome customer service!After doing my research Yama had the best price in the Valley and was upfront and honest about the car. His price was below KBB and he explained that he can offer these prices because he buys his cars directly from insurance companies.My car was a recovered theft from an owner that could not make the payments and reported it stolen. Unfortunately, this is common practice, but it works out for Yamas customers because they get great deals!Before selling his cars he has them checked out at the dealer. My car had an oil change, paint touch-up, and a new stereo/GPS unit installed. I had total piece of mind driving my new car away, and I havent had a single issue since.There are no high-pressure sales tactics used in the Yama family, all the cars are good deals, take it or leave it.Thank you, Yama, Sal, and family for the sweet ride!
Buying any vehicle is a challenge from models, price, needs, and your own (QPR) Quality to Price Ratio. I have spent 24 years in sales in other industries and know all the angles and spins one can muster. The great news is the Yama Auto Brokers Family from son(s) to father are doing business the old American Way that built this great country. They are honest, hard working for you and smart. They offer vehicles that are in a niche market. Salvage titles come in several categories (flood, accident, theft, etc.) With theft salvage the car is (in most cases) as good as new. But, because of the title the true value is much greater than perceived value. You buy a title that is flawed you are basically like a hedge fund manager getting the lowest price and value instantly. The business is hard and you have to do your homework from start to finish. When seeking a vehicle I found Yama Auto Brokers that has a name and legacy of professionalism. They offered a Toyota Tundra 2014 Truck with 8K miles for $28K. Mint condition and new as a 2016 model with not a spot of imperfection. I always spend the $20.00 dollars and run my own auto check and do my own homework. Yama Siddiqi and I went over all line items like an accountant and you will never find that from a dealer of uneducated stiffs. Yama Siddiqi was a class act and was raised well by his parents. Professional, polite, and listened. The other brother was also attentive and new about titles and all the salvage specifics that are necessary when dealing with a transfer of title. This was smooth as silk from start to finish. The value of cars they have to offer is great. Honestly, you are saving more than they are making. I can validate that for sure on knowing what the blue book prices are. So, you may get a car with a little salvage title if the paper work is in order and the history validates clean driving and tune ups than 9/10 ten times you are getting a great value. Dealerships are taking used cars for trade ins with all kinds of problems and selling them at least a 30%-50% mark up and they will come with problems. By pass this process and go to Yama Auto Brokers. I have no fear of salvage titles and those perimeters. The current perception is incorrect. If you want a great car with an amazing price than give the family Yama Auto Brokers a shot. They are good people that work hard and will work hard for you. There name is very reputable in Northern California and I will always go back to them for my next vehicle.
Bought a 2009 toyota camry in 2016 (this year) very low miles. Good car. And very good customer service. If i need another car im going through Yama again! Highly recommended!!!
Life happened and I needed to get a replacement car fast. Buying a car is stressful enough, doing it under a time crunch was even more so. I had spent a lot of time looking through Craigslist and had a small list of cars I wanted to check out, one of them was from Yamas. I wasnt necessarily planning on buying from them, but figured it wouldnt hurt to check it out.They go the extra mile to make sure you feel taken care of and answer all sorts of question with honesty, making the car shopping and buying process less stressful. The low pressure environment was a huge surprise and pleasantly surprised by the entire experience. I ended up buying the car and was happy to support a local family business!Their prices are lower than youd anticipate b/c the cars they sell have have altered titles. They are salvage titles, but not necessarily in the traditional sense (cars that have been in bad accidents out put back together). My car showed no signs of frame damage and breezed through the random DMV inspection I had to do for registration. Go check out Yamas and theyll answer all your questions!
If your lookin for a reliable car at a great price go to yama!, they have the best customer service I came out of town almost 3 hours away and they normally close at 6, they waited for me till 8 so I can get off work and see the car I like, not everyone is that caring. He made sure I absolutely loved the car I picked, and I can truly say Im so happy with my 2009 toyota camry. And I will go back to them always when I need another car
Bought a 2013 Kia Optima, super satisfied will definitely be back !
We came in to look at a Honda Civic, but drove away with a very Cherry Hyundai Sonata Limited for a real deal! We were super happy!
I bought my 2014 honda accord 8500 miles from Sal a month ago and im so glad I came across him. I had spoke with many dealers mostly L.A area for a little over a month. I knew exactly what I wanted and how much I wanted to spend. I came across Yama on autotrader and Im so glad I did. He had the exact car I wanted color price milage was perfect. Sal is amazing. I drove 4 hours to the bay area and it was so worth it the car was perfect condition super clean. He waited a few hours after closing time for me had everything ready for me easiest deal Ive done. helped me set up insurance bank loan everything. I got my license plate with tags in the mail in a week and a check from yama with the difference. ohhh and Sal and his family treated me and my family great they are so nice funny humble good people. Sal even checked on me the next day and kept in touch while my bank took their sweet time (a few days). I have no complaints. I will definitely be a returning customer. Thanks Sal.
I purchased a 2008 Nissan 350Z coupe from Yama Auto Brokers on April 2011. The car seemed fine and the people working at Yama seemed trustworthy so I did not bother to check the CARFAX. The Yama Auto brokers employees made me sign a contract and they said that nothing was wrong with the car and that everything was perfect. It turns out that the car was a STOLEN VEHICLE.When I checked the carfax a couple months later, it showed that the car was a stolen vehicle from Reno, California. When I purchased the car it only had 7,856 miles and was selling for such a bargain price that it seemed too good to be true, so I decided to check the carfax. I went through so much suffering and felt betrayed by Yama Auto Brokers, whom I trusted deeply because one of the salesmen said he also went to UC Berkeley so I trusted him deeply because I attended Cal too. They seemed like good people. However, a couple months later I found out the truth behind the vehicle; I felt betrayed and felt the pain of feeling like I was really conned. In the end it was a stolen vehicle and everything was a mess. They should have told me that the car was a stolen vehicle before telling me that everything about the car, its mechanics, its history, was perfect and flawless. I am still heartbroken and lost all my love for the car once I learned it was a stolen vehicle.....I will forever be scarred by Yama Auto Brokers
Good experience, purchased car and plates showed up within 2 weeks
The best auto brokers.
Disappointed and misleading
