Marin Imports dealership customer reviews

Gary F., Walnut Creek, CA 17 Jan 2017

Latest update 5/29/2015-I bought a car with Omid--He made the process so unselling like-I felt I was buying a car from a friend-There was no pressure, and when I backed out the first day, it was like it didn't matter to him at all, because he knew he would sell me a car. I got a great deal, love the... car, and he is doing very well on post sale follow up, helping me get a 2nd key for my car. I would not consider buying another car anywhere else...Here is my latest update-See below for my first post:OMID was just awesome.... I'm giving them five stars, and I did not even buy a car-YET-from them.The service he provide was outstanding, and even though I took a test drive on a 330CI, and told him I was not getting it, he was fine with that-He wanted me to be happy with whatever I got-So I gave him the specs on what I wanted, and now HE is going to be looking for my car, instead of me. I won't have to waste time searching for what I want. I trust Omid and Marin auto totally--Great experience...Would not even think of looking elsewhere... Go with Northstate Auto in WC, or Marin Imports, and you can't go wrongWell, I wanted to write a great review, and talk about how fantastic the service was, and how much I love my car. Problem is, after quickly getting a phone call, and a few back and forth emails, the salesman(who I won't name) never returned my last email asking him to call me-I was a cash buyer, and I think we could have made a deal. Now I am off working with a few other dealerships... I am sure Marin Imports is a fine place to get a car-But I wouldn't know.. If anything changes, I will update my review-I wanted to have a great experience like everyone else.Updated 5/1/15-I got a call from salesman, after I sent an email asking if I offended him, and if that was why he did not call me back. He apologized, and said it was just crazy, because it was the last day of the month. We have appointment on 5/2/15, and we will see how it goes-I will update review after that. It should be noted, the salesman read the email, and responded to me on his day off-Kudos for that. Like Fredrik Eklund, a great salesperson never stops. Show more

I spotted this car BMW X3 white with a tan/beige interior while searching for used cars with one owner and low miles and came across this small auto dealer in San Rafael. I saw it many times there, (internet) but I was waiting for the actual car I wanted and I said to myself, if this car sells dur...ing memorial day weekend, was not meant for me and will keep searching and did not sell, so a week after, sent my Mother and Brother to this dealer, because I could not take the time off work. They went there and met Tony, one of the sales managers there, a terrific person with a great personality, but mostly very well- mannered and my family were impressed with the quality of cars the dealer had and the customer service provided.They took the car for a test drive and loved it. They called me. My Mom was to pay for the car cash to help me out with the interest so that I could pay her instead of having a car loan, but Tony was extremely nice and based on his honesty and knowledge in financial, recommended us not to buy the car cash and to put the money in the bank to get interest, because I could qualify for a low interest car loan and sure enough, I did. I qualified for a very low interest through their local credit union AND they paid for the membership, so we only had to put a down payment and thanks to his recommendation, I'm not only having a great good looking car, but with a low car payment. They provided me with all documents including the car fax.We made the deal over the phone practically and Tony trusted us to release the car to me. I got the car and love it of course, but the only thing was that AC was off and not working, so we had to drive it back and without a hesitation, they took it back to fix it and out of their grace, gave me a nice loaner car from their dealer while the AC was getting check out in my newer purchased car.Once it was done, it was a minor hose problem, Tony was extremely generous and nice to meet me half way to my job to exchange cars and I got my car back with the AC fixed and with 1 yr warranty on it. They also sold me the car with a courtesy 3-month or 3k miles warranty at their repair shop only.I honestly, never seen a salesperson at a car dealer going above and beyond the extra mile for their customers. Both Tony and Amid are amazing at what they do and this place has very high quality cars. I command this auto dealer and their sales managers for their quality and excellence in customer service, therefore, I give Tony a 5 star as well as the dealer and I will recommend that it is worth the drive to this place and I will return soon to get my son a newer car too.

First let me say I am not a friend or family member of anyone at Marin Imports and am a senior female. I have purchased 5 Mercedes, 4 GL's and one AMG from Marin Imports and their sister location North State Auto in Walnut Creek.The no pressure approach is a welcome change for me and I have never ex...perienced this level of integrity and superb customer service. After a grueling experience when I bought 2 AMG's at once at RAB Motors I was dreading buying a car, but this was so easy! I cannot recommend them enough. Show more

I very rarely take the time to review anything on Yelp, but Omid earned it. We wanted to purchase a vehicle from him, but discovered during the test drive it there was a bit of a hum coming from the front wheel well. He agreed to fix the problem before we picked the vehicle up two days later. When I... came back to pick it up, I took it for a test drive and it seemed to be fixed, so we finalize the deal and I drove off. That weekend I drove to Santa Barbara and discovered the same hum happening intermittently during right turns. We took the car back to Omid. He agreed to make another fix, even though I had already signed off on the previous work, holding true to his original agreement to fix the noise. Not only did they address the problem, they did a quality job. We love our car! Show more

I'm huge about customer service it's always the biggest thing to me. This guys are beyond professional and took good care of my whole process came in to look at a cls550 they had online and it was exactly as they explained which is amazing because most places you go to they just lie to you over the ...phone to get you there and I've had that happen to me several times. He broke down the numbers and helped me get approved and get a great rate. Overall I got a new cls550 now . Thanks Omid! Show more

New and used car lots give me anxiety because I always feel that I am going to be attacked by slimy sales sharks. After about six months of shopping lots for a vehicle, I have become a bon a fide expert in used car salesmanology. I have to say that my experience at Marin Imports changed my mind ...about used car salespeople and the industry. There really are trustworthy used car salespeople! Yay! My husband and I were/are very, very happy with our all around experience at Marin Imports!Our salesman Omid was so nice, easy to talk to, and charming in a real person kind of way. We never felt like he was hawking over us or desperate for a sale. We were given plenty of time to test drive, space for my husband and I to talk in private, and just the right amount of conversation with the salesman for questions. Tony was also easy to work with on all of the final paperwork. When Omid had to take a call, Tony popped out to fill in and not leave us feeling like we were abandoned. They were happy to give us every piece of paperwork that we requested (Carfax, original intake inspection reports and suggested retail pricing from Blue Book). We never felt like they were hiding information or trying to get rid of a lemon. We really feel like we got a fair price on a super clean and well cared for Mini Cooper. If you are looking to purchase a used car from a dealer, we highly recommend Marin Imports! Show more

Best place in Marin to buy a used car hands down! I walked in not knowing I was going to buy a car but within a few hours I was driving away in my new car. I have been to other dealerships before and none compare to this place. Omid made my whole experience smooth. From the loan, to prices and to cl...osing. Omid is an excellent auto sales professional who is patient, clear, has a great sense of humor and will make sure you're getting exactly what you want. Go here for your car and make sure you ask for Omid! Show more
