"Best Customer Service And Prices In The Area"
I had been shopping around for a Prius with low miles and within my price range and I finally found South Valley Auto Wholesale. Daryl helped me out and he made this process go so smoothly. He immediately made me feel comfortable because he wasnt pressuring me to buy, just very knowledgeable about every car. He wanted to get to know what I wanted out of a car and my budget. He also went around to find the lowest APR for my loan. Will definately recommend anyone I know to Daryl!
"Very Satisfied Customers"
My husband and I were looking for a good used reliable suv from an honest person. After a few visits to various places we found Daryl at Southbay Auto Wholesalers and can honestly say we found what we were looking for! He was very easy to work with and helpful. We had another vehicle needing repair and he directed us to Tom who took care of it right away. So now we have 2 great sources we can count on. We would highly recommend going to Daryl if you want an honest car dealer!
"Provides Excellent Value For Your Money"
Daryl provides several options to choose from in an honest, upfront and no pressure manner. He offers the best value for the money I have found. I was pleased with the first car I purchased from him 10 years ago and never had a problem with it. When it was recently totaled I purchased another vehicle from him.
"Out Of A Lemon Into A First Car Loan"
I had been looking for an all wheel drive Element with under 115,000. It was Daryls straight to the point attitude over the phone that made me drive 45 minutes to his spot with paperwork done. When I told him I was coming out of a lemon situation with a Volvo V40 I can tell he actually cared and wanted to put me in a better car. Took us a whole 35 minutes and I was done driving my new car home. Great guy easy paperwork made my whole first time car loan experience safe, got me a great rate and made me feel assured that the car was going to work and last a while. A month later here ya go still driving went to Yosemite in a storm and a few more treks. Boom!
"Trusted, Quality"
This dealership Specializes in Hondas and sold me the best quality CRV at the best price I could find. Daryl the owner, seems trustworthy and I would recommend him to any of my friends or family. I was nearly eight hours round-trip from his car lot and it was definitely worth the trip.
"Great Place Ago Get Your Next Car!"
We had been looking for a user Toyota Tundra for about a month when we happened upon South Valley Auto Wholesale. Weve lived in this area for years and had never seen this place. It just so happened they had the exact truck we had been searching for. After getting the run around at a couple different places we were getting discouraged. But when we spoke to Daryl on the phone we knew right away he was different. We went to his place to take a look at the truck and it was exactly as advertised. We left a small deposit to hold the truck and when we came back to do the paperwork we were surprised that everything was ready to go! Talk about fast and easy! From start to finish Daryl was honest and did everything he said he would do. The next time were in the market for a car we will start here first. It was truly a pleasure to do business at South Valley and with Daryl!
"2011 Prius"
Very professional and down to earth. Made the whole process simple to understand.
"Pleasurable Buying Experience!"
We spent most of the day going dealership-to-dealership being pressured to buy and feeling like we were probably being gauged. What a delight to find Daryl! Not a lot of cars, but the set price (no haggling!) and warranty made all the difference. We got a car our teenage daughter loves, and Daryls handling of an item that needed immediate repair was professional and quick. Great experience!
"Best Car Buying Experince Ever"
Ive been shopping for cars many times and the salesperson were always pushy or always trying to sell me a car I didnt want or ask for. When I came to this place the salesperson was upfront and not at all pushy. He helped me with my the what price range and a payment within my budget. After test driving the car I liked, we went through all paperwork and I got a very good payment and trade in for my old car (2005 Nissan Altima). It was actually a good experience for a change and he made the whole process very easy. I would highly recommended Daryl to get you an honest and good deal.
"Nice Guy, Very Easy Experience"
Daryl was very helpful and knowledgeable. It took us less than 2 hours from start to finish to buy a car, and that included the time for us to go get a cashiers check. As we were driving off, I noticed the passenger seatbelt buckle was broken on the car we bought and I was worried since we had already finished the transaction, but Daryl was fantastic with the follow up. He ordered us a new buckle and paid for the mechanic to install it. He was very prompt with his email responses during this repair process. I would definitely recommend South Valley Auto to anyone looking for a used car in the area.
"Great Customer Service!"
This was the easiest car buying experience Ive had. I purchased my Honda from Daryl at South Valley Auto Wholesale over a year ago. It was priced reasonably and there was no haggling or nonsense. I contacted Daryl with a question a year after the purchase. He was quick to reply and happy to help. Great customer service and Im very happy with my Honda.
"Professional, Hassle=free Car Buying Experience:"
The Title says it all. My 2005 Honda Element was totaled. Not only did Daryl have the largest selection in the Bay Area to choose from, he is the consummate professional when it comes to purchasing a vehicle. The procedure was seamless, the pricing at or below market value and the follow up questions that I had were answered with his intimate knowledge of the vehicles he sells. I would not hesitate to purchase another vehicle from him. I have purchased many vehicles over the years and dealing with Daryl has been a 5 star experience in all aspects. Peter D....San Francisco
"Knowledgeable, No Pressure"
I was not expecting to be buying a car but when my 2000 Civic was stolen I needed to find a vehicle within the price range of the insurance money and would have to get a used car. I had only ever bought new cars from a dealer so was apprehensive of getting scammed by some used car salesman sending me off with a poor product. I was still hesitant when I drove up to South Valley Auto as it was in an industrial area and did not have the glamorous appearance of a Honda or Toyota dealership with all those new cars in the lot and fancy showrooms with flat screen TVs and snacks. But I was interested in the 2002 Honda Insight and those cars are harder to find which put me at South Valley Auto. Daryl quickly put me at ease with his manner, no pressure environment and deep knowledge about Hondas and particularly Insights. The 2002 insight he had was in great condition and in the end I trusted him and made the purchase. I concur with other comments that he would rather do things the right way than make an extra buck. My Insight can hit 60 mpg and was recently in at the Honda dealership for an oil change and inspection and the Honda mechanics found the car to be in excellent shape, just as Daryl said. If you are looking for a used car, I recommend South Valley Auto. Ignore the appearance because it is the people that matter.
"The Right Way To Do Business"
Everything about buying a used car from Daryl was great. He was honest and straightforward and was always willing to talk and be flexible with meetings and with my questions. I could tell he would rather do business correctly and with integrity than make the most money by sacrificing his core values. Id recommend looking into his selection and giving him a call. Id definitely buy from him again.
"Real Person, Not A Car Sales Man, Great Deals!"
When I had met Daryl, I had just been to three lots, every time the same thing. They say what they want you to hear and try to pull one over on you. They tell you not to pay attention to the interest rate or dont put any money down on the car. Just bad advice from the typical smarmy car sales man. Daryl was different, he told me the first thing "I want to be able to look you in the eye after selling you a car." This guy is honest and real, my family had bought cars with him before, and they were very encouraging to talk to him. So after my car catastrophe, he had me up and moving with honesty and efficient selection. I have already told my friends and colleagues about him. Really, please do not waste your time at a car dealer, go to this guy, he is an honest wholesaler with a straight-shooting personality and really tells you what is going to happen. I would buy from him again!!!
"Honda Civic"
Bought a 2001 honda civic from SVAW, and I love it! Was in great condition for a low price. Vey low mileage and just what I was looking for :)
"Not A Way To Do Bussiness!!!"
I made a appointment to see a specific car. When I got their for my appointment, the car was sold to somebody elese. They should have called me to let me know and I could have cancel my appointment. Instead he they tried to sale me a car I didnt want. Ill never go back their again.
"2000 Toyota Car Puchase - Great Service"
I was looking for car for my teenage daughter and my car mechanic referred me to South Valley. I had an excellent buying experience at South Valley. Im very happy with my car purchase and the car has been running great. I definitely recommend to a friend or family member
"2010 Honda Civic 4d Car Purachase"
I purchased a 2010 Honda Civic 4-door automatic car from South Valley Auto WholeSale. This was a perfect deal as I would never have got a used car with such a low mileage in such an affordable range. Quiet a long period I was on my search in many showrooms around Santa Clara city as good as 10 nos. But I was not able to find any car to my satisfaction, either the cars were having more used mileage (as high as 80-150 K miles) or with cost beyond 14 K or with an accident report. Then I came across South Valley AutoSale with an wonderful deal and I came by the store to scan the vehicle. Daryl was a good man to receive me over there and show me the car explaining all the details. He even helped me with applying the loan for the purchase. I hardly took 3 hours to confirm my purchase, with thought of not loosing such a good deal. Next day, I just came by the store with my insurance copy and took the car with me. I was glad that my busy and frustrating days of search of a car finally came to an end with a good and satisfactory deal. Daryl provided me an 30 days of warranty period, but it was not necessary as the car was such in an excellent condition. I was very much attentive while driving to eavesdrop all the unusual sound forn the car engine and transmission. But I never did. I would definitely recommend this store for buying a car. --Jagadish
"Highly Reccomended"
Had a great buying experience at South Valley. Im very happy with my purchase. Would definitely recommend to a friend or family member.
"Great Car For My Son"
Purchased a 2000 Honda Accord for my son. His first car was purchased from a lot up in Sacramento. The car was absolutely horrible and should never have even been allowed to be sold as it was. My son is a college student and was in need of a reliable, gas efficient car. Daryl showed us a few cars, and we ended up with a 2000 Honda Accord with a newly rebuilt transmission. Had a great warranty on the transmission and was pleasantly surprised to learn that Daryl stands behind his vehicles providing a 30 day warranty. I would highly recommend South Valley Auto Wholesale to anyone looking to purchase a used vehicle. The transaction process was very easy, with no sales pressure.
"Excellent Car Buying Experience"
We just purchased a 2008 Honda Element SC from South Valley Auto Wholesale. I came to Daryl already knowing what I wanted. He was very pleasant when I first called him on the phone and he turned out to be a wonderful person to work with. This the 15th car I have purchased and I would have to say this was the easiest transaction of all of them. The night I brought the Element home, I did a tune up and replace the battery. I forgot that disconnecting the power locks the radio and you need a pass code. I made the mistake of calling Honda first (as per the instruction manual). The dealer told me that they were going to charge me to remove the stereo to find the serial number and then they could give me a code. I then called Daryl and 5 minutes later, he had the correct code and my stereo was working again. I would definitely recommend checking out South Valley Auto Wholesale over a private transaction because Daryl stands by his vehicles and in some cases they come with a 30 day warranty. That adds a sort of level of comfort for someone like me who knows that buying a used car is sometimes a scary thing when you dont know how well the vehicle was treated previously.
