By far my best car-buying experience in 40 years. Fair, transparent price. No awkward back&forth with the "secret boss". People here really care about building a long-term relationship with their customers since they cater to a special crowd. Yanni was my sale's guy, nice, friendly, and honest, didn't try to sell me stuff that I don't need. I will be taking my cars here for service in the future.

I recently bought a 2007 GT3, the car is phenominal, but shortly after it arrived and having drove less millage then i would have liked I ran into some unexpected issues. Unsure of what to expect, Graham and his team went above and beyond what my expectations were. Super Profesional and all around calm and polite even when i got upset. I highly recomend this business, as they actually care about their customers!

Purchased a Porsche 911 4S from Response Motors sight unseen without any concerns about the condition or quality of the vehicle I was purchasing. Communication was timely and the only delay was the availability of an enclosed carrier to transport my vehicle home. If you're shipping within the state of CA, give Advanced Towing a call. Also, if you want to save time while waiting on your newly purchased vehicle, ask about their car care services (ceramic coating, headlight restoration, paint protection film etc.).
