I have never purchased a car through an autobroker and was quite nervous about the experience. Yama and Sal were very straightforward with me and we talked about the car, its history and how they acquired it at auction. I took the car to my mechanic, came back with the issues, and Yama agreed to lower the price and replace some parts that were missing, even after I had purchased the car. My previous experience with car dealerships has always felt like I was being conned into trying to buy something I didn't want, and I never had a sense of trust with them. However, these guys were a family business that was low-pressure and I felt they were reasonable in negotiating price and taking care of me as a customer. I did not walk away feeling like I was being duped, and that was fantastic. High praise in that I would not hesitate to get another vehicle from them. I really felt they went the extra mile and helped me trust and believe in them. I'm looking forward to many many miles in our new car. Thanks Yama!

First car ever bought and it was worth it. If you're looking for a good deal on a new whip check out Yama Auto. They're the most chill and straightforward dealer you'll ever come across. They treated me like family with their hospitality offering me water and even food. Yama walked me through the whole process of financing and was very transparent with me. Mad respect and gratitude to them for the excellent experience.

Love this family owned and run business that is truly interested in giving great service trying to create life long business relationships. Very friendly, very helpful/knowledgeable and very efficient! They have good selection available, offer good deals and treats each car like it's their own. Sal was our guy but we met the father and brothers who were all great. Also a great place to sell your car. One of the best dealers we have ever worked with.

Title: Excellent Experience & Exceptional Deal on a Truck!
Rating: (5/5)
I recently purchased a truck from this phenomenal family-owned car dealer and I couldn't be happier! From the moment I arrived, the brothers were very friendly and focused on my needs for the truck I was interested in. They were very kind and respectful to my father who came with me to check out the truck. They offered transparent and fair pricing without any hidden fees. They had a nice selection of vehicles. Negotiations were smooth, and I got a great deal that fit my budget. Their after-sales service was top-notch, addressing all my inquiries promptly. I highly recommend this dealer for an outstanding experience and an unbeatable deal on your next vehicle!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Genevieve R.La Mesa, CA0251Feb 6, 2024
My car got totaled in an accident and my husband went looking for a replacement. We happened to find exactly what we were looking for at Yama. We had no idea the amazing experience we were about to have. We put down a deposit to hold the vehicle because we had to fly in to pick it up. We live in San Diego, and Yama is located far away in Fremont. The day arrived for us to fly in and pick up the car. To say it was easy would be an under- statement. Sal mad everything go so smoothly, we were blown away!!! He had the paperwork already started, so all we had to do was sign, make our payment, grab the keys, and get on the road. We were done within a half an hour!!!
I can't say enough kind words about Sal and his brother. This is the place you want to purchase your next vehicle from!!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Charla B.San Jose, CA0914Mar 2, 2024
Sal and his family run a stand-up, trustworthy business. I bought a 2020 Silver Mini Cooper S from Yama. Easy process with no hassles or pressure.
I'm always leery about small business car lots, but Yama Auto Brokers were just awesome!
I would sell my cars through Sal again no question!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Andrew C.Palo Alto, CA149Nov 28, 2023
Sal ... you're awesome!!!
Even though my wife and I didn't purchase the vehicle (2012 Toyota Prius V) that we were interested in, Sal did not do any "high pressure" sales tactics. He is so laid back (beach mentality!!!) and so easy to converse with. He stated that "if we don't feel comfortable with the vehicle, don't buy it." Now, that's a rarity in this world and we truly appreciated Sal for that.
From the other vehicles that we saw there, Yama seems to be picky about what they will sell to the public. Again, Sal stated "if he wouldn't want to buy/own it, why should he try and sell it?!
I don't leave too many reviews, but when a person or business is either awesome or a pain to deal with, I feel it's nice to let others know. In this case ... AWESOME!!!
Thanks again Sal, and Happy Holidays to you and your family!!!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Chung L.South San Francisco, CA137197Jun 17, 2023
I was looking at a used Toyota Highlander and Yama auto just happened to have one in their inventory, I checked their website, yelp review, and I have a good feeling regarding their customer service and I always like to purchase things from family owned business. They did not disappoint and I have to write a 5 stars review for them .
Sal helped me all the way through and he is a very genuine guy and family man. He helped me for a test drive , making sure everything is a beautiful condition, and gave me a ride from Fremont bart station to their shop. He helped me to process all the documentation, never being pushy. The whole process was very easy, no pressure and I got my beautiful 2015 toyota highlander. I want to give Sal 10 stars . I will definitely visit again if i need another used car and I will certainly share with my friends.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Marlena S.San Jose, CA3175135Feb 7, 2024
Previously my family would help me buy my cars, but this time I was all on my own and Yama Auto Brokers couldn't have treated me any better than they did! Best costumer service & it feels like you're working with family. I'd recommend any of my friends or family to Yama. (-:

If I could only recommend one business this year, it would be this one! PeriodT. The customer service here at Yama Auto Brokers is TOP TIER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sal and Yama Jr. are the truth.
I found this dealership through Carfax and boy what a blessing it was. My first point of contact was Sal. From the hello he was friendly, easy going and extremely helpful. Where my husband and I had never heard of an 'indoor dealership" and was about to pull off because it felt "sketchy" on the drive by - Sal eased our nerves with his kind, reassuring demeanor.
We pulled into the lot and he met us at the door. From there, the experience was amazing. He gave us information I've never received from a dealer. He didn't try to upsell us or play us on the down payment. We told him what we wanted and what we could do and he worked on our behalf to get it done. Hear me again, he worked on our behalf! That alone is the reason you should choose them.
We were able to drive off with our new car and it is everything we hoped it would be.
Thank you so much Sal and Yama! Y'all made that experience - which is usually hell - pleasurable and I will be recommending everyone try you first. For real. Thank you.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Christoph E.West Berkeley, Berkeley, CA013Aug 29, 2023Updated review
My truck was 5 start they help me get all the warranties I needed and prevented a lot of headache.
Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Mar 27, 2023Previous reviewI found this place when my credit was exceptional I asked all the right questions and they gave me all the right answers unfortunately they were lies. I bought my first box truck from yama a commercial vehicle. I have plenty of vehicles I purchase in the past on my personal credit, so I'm very familiar with the process. When I asked, I wanted to put the minimum down. They told me that the minimum for commercial was 20% That was a lie my friend bought a vehicle recently and had to only put 5 percent and his credit was worse than mine and the vehicle he bought was more expensive. I told them I didn't want any coverage and the said i had to get Cadillac converter coverage theft protection and gap all things I didn't need but they lied and said In order for me to get the loan I needed to get these coverages. When I called him today he explained something totally different about the theft protection then he did originally. I have a photograph memory and I no for a fact these guys lied to my face and sold me on warranty's that I specifically stated i didn't want. Tread very lightly when doing business with these family of liars.
