Be careful - very predatory practices! After they took advantage of a young, homeless man , that's also struggling with addiction, "they" seemed willing to renegotiate his contract. I physically went to the shop and was given Jason's business card. I called the number on the card and spoke to someone for quite a while, who said that he wasn't Jason, he was Mr.Garcia Sr - Jason wasn't available. He said that he was willing to do something if the young man came in, but he wouldn't say what he was willing to do. I emailed the email address on the card, and didn't hear anything back. A few days later I emailed again asking what they were willing to do, and I received an email back from "Jason" saying that I should know that he wants to work things out because we already talked about it on the phone. Oh, I thought that was Mr. Garcia Sr.? I then sent a text message to the number seeing if we could meet to work things out, and I got a response that they're closed until June 5. Not sure who or what to believe but I wouldn't trust this business - especially Jason and the mysterious Mr. Garcia Sr. In the end, the young man signed the contract. Under the influence, homeless, or otherwise. So, legally, he might be responsible. Morally, however, gotta have faith in karma... UPDATE: 5/23/22 Couldn't imagine things could get worse, but they did! The young man has had a few late payments, but he's been paying on a fairly regular basis. He's called Jason repeatedly and texted asking for a payoff amount, but Jason responds every time that he 'needs to come in the office to discuss'. Jason told him that he had to meet with the finance team, and then turned around and said he owns the finance company! The young man doesn't want to go the establishment, but Jason is trying to force him to go, saying he can't get his payoff balance over the phone or in writing. What makes things worse is the Honda he purchased had the catalytic converter stolen recently, and the young man reported it to his insurance. He couldn't afford to have it repaired, so he had the insurance company total it out. And since Jason still holds the title he's most likely going to get the insurance money (the insurance company told the young man who's paying for the car, and who was paying insurance that they couldn't assist him because he didn't have the title - and Jason has yet to offer assistance). I'm blown away at how shady Top Notch is - charged the guy almost double blue book for the car + 18% interest - and won't provide him an invoice for a payoff amount - and will now probably benefit from the insurance claim. And the young man is now out a car and several thousand dollars. And Top Notch continues to prey on the poor.

I had an absolutely fantastic experience purchasing a used car from Top Notch Auto Sales. Jason and his staff are all extremely knowledgable about their trade, in addition to the complicated process of purchasing, registering and insuring a vehicle in the state of California. They worked hard to accommodate my circumstances (I recently moved from a different state) and took care of all the registration requirements, the acquisition of plates, the emissions test, and secured me insurance quotes. Top Notch Auto Sales is a small business, and they work hard to beat out their big corporate competitors (i.e. Carmax) with outstanding customer service and demonstrable knowledge about each car on their lot. Jason personally worked with me throughout the process of purchasing a car, and importantly was entirely forthcoming throughout the process. He was honest about each vehicle that I considered, and helped me narrow the options down to the exact vehicle I was looking for. Contrary to other reviews here, Top Notch had excellent communication throughout the purchase process, and even weeks afterward for paperwork related things. Top Notch is the ideal place for young professionals to get a reliable vehicle worry-free. Reading some of these other reviews, it's important to remember that when it comes to buying a used car, pick two: cheap, reliable, flashy. If you're honest about what you're looking for, this business will make it happen. Could not be happier with the customer experience here.

Here based on my experience with this company after having such High faith in their honesty to still consider buying after the vehicle in question wouldn't start and was slammed deep within such a jam packed tight lot of dusty long sitting vehicles leads me to be left with only this impression put into terms of a review boldly left without reconsideration. With Such Very bad Attitude toward negotiating a mutal terms of sales agreement with in reason based on the current live market asking price. Has no interest or intention to appease all parties included in the transaction. held to blue book value grounds without the professionalism to come to terms on a cash in hand purchase. With no regards to want to satisfy an eager to buy serious customer. Only to be disrespected with such an awful counter offer I felt like I had been spat in the face why would I even want to continue to spend my thousands here. While their sales dept (stands without a team effort) to ask questions but rather go without knowing within the criteria of seriousnes of which the buyer even stands before they are ready to hang up the negotiation (abandoning clear initiative to do their Job at standard) to what seems to leave an impression of a company employeed with child like socialites whom which would rather no do business as if are only with Job "pretending" to be professionals at best. Ha I certainly wish these individuals the very best. Thank you for making up my mind on where I will pick up my vehicle.

If I could give them more then 5 stars I would do it I have been changing cars since I was born lol this the first time I have the chance to deal with people that they're so honest and quick.I was driving over with my friends looking for a cars dealer and I saw a beautiful BMW parking on the top notch auto sales dealer so I was like let's check it out and then as soon I got there the salesperson comes out and he welcome us.Then I asked to drive the car and he went within seconds to get the keys short story I drove the car and I like the way how it drive so now I have to check my Credit score to finals it he was like go have some coffee until I get the approve for you. And it was a good coffee I came back and he got me the approval but fortune I haven't the all down payment so I got worry. He was like don't worry you could give me Half the money and the other half on another time dude I really didn't believe what I just heard lol Man if you really looking for a good car this is the best place to get your car from. thank you so much Manny Thank you so much top notch auto sales

  • caroline smith

They don't deserve a star. Went to them because I recently was in a car accident and need a car. I have bad credit. Meet with Faviola and her manager Jason. They were nice and said they were willing to help and get me a car. Saw a 2007 Trailblazer on the computer. It looked good, but was in Monterey. So they drove the car from there to San Jose. We go back the next day. The car had zip ties holding the grill up, the front bumper wasn't completely on, has bad motor mounts, and dents. If it wasn't for my husband seeing all the red flags and a friend checking out the car I would have bought it. The car also needs an alignment. When we told Jason we want to see another car his attitude change and became rude. Told me that there were no other cars for me, but yet said that he was willing to help me get a car. But then tells my friend that was the only car I wanted and I never told him that. Don't get a car from this place. It's a rip off and how they have 4 stars is beyond me.

I bought my 2020 mustang with Jason of the top notch auto sales. I was given the lowest price for the car as compared to different dealerships in the Bay. He is really my guy since he made things extra easier and he put a lot of work and effort for me to pull this desiring car of mine. He also got me a lot of discounts with low payments and low interest rate. He was very accommodating and knows whats he’s doing. I was also nicely greeted and given undivided attention by Jason. Im happy with my new car and thats all because of him. I highly recommend this dealership (Top Notch Auto Sales) located at 550 S Bascom Ave, San Jose, CA 95128. Go look for Jason, i’ll guarantee that he’ll take care of you plus give you a good discounts and will give you a superior customer service.

  • Margaret Burton

Well where do I start. Jason the sales guy has no soul and is a complete fraud similar to the movie Matilda and her Dad. We purchased a car from him less than 1,000 miles later the whole transmission is busted and car is unsafe to drive on the road. He completely took advantage of my brother. This was his first experience and well Jason aka Skum bag you were in willing to make the situation right and unfortunately we have to seek legal matters. Thank you for absolutely nothing Jason and San Jose or anyone even considering buying from Jason I highly advise you don’t . Jason I have no idea how you sleep at night doing what you do to good hard working people.

  • Mariah Torrales

Man!!! I can't say enough good Things about this place! My experiences here have been nothing but great and I have never been let down with any car that I have bought here! It's really hard to trust a used car lot and their owners, but when I came here for the first time Jason really made me trust in buying a used car! I've never had any problems with any of the cars that I bought here! Top of the line used cars! Amazing staff! Awesome service! Jason is amazing and super supportive! If your looking to buy a car, I recommend doing it here! Jason will make sure he gets you into the car you want. He always goes above and beyond for his customers at all costs!

  • Ailen Payne

FIRST TIME financing a car. Long story short, my original car started acting up and I needed a new car to get back and forth to work asap! Jason and his team were able to get me in a car and back on the road in 2 days without any problems. The first day I made a phone call. The second day I went to the shop and left with a vehicle. Must have all your info, be ready to do some foot work and have the money. They do ALL the hard work so you don't have too. Great company, Highly recommended, especially for first time buyers. Thanks Jason!

  • Elva Reglado

I was desperately looking for a car, and I have bad credit. One of my friends told me about Top Notch auto sales and she really recommended that place specially with me having a bad credit. When I contacted them Jason the owner of the place was so nice and he helped me and walked me through all the process I’m so glad I listened to my friend and I contacted Top Notch Auto Sales. I highly recommend this place and Jason and his team are really professionals and they will help you through the whole process. Thanks Jason

  • Erika Banuelos

I am so thankful for this place. I was able to get a fairly new car with very low miles and fully loaded. My credit is sub par but Jason worked with me and was able to get me into a deal with a reasonable down payment and no co signer. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TOP NOTCH AUTO SALES FOR ANYONE WHO IS NEED OF A CAR. Great customer service and really put my needs first. Will definitely be repeat customer.

  • Zaid Hamed

I purchased a 2020 Hyundai Sonata from top notch auto sales. I got the best deal from these guys. I shopped around from San Jose to the east bay. Jason gave me $2200 off the sticker price. Great customer service from Jason. He is the owner. He went above and beyond to make sure me and my wife were happy. I definitely recommend them to get the best deal possible here.

  • Nebiyu Demissie

Good deal on car but took over 5 months to get registration and plates with the excuse that it was the DMV but no updates from Jason unless I call him. On top of that, I had to pick up license plate, sticker, and registration directly from Jason at the dealership instead of it being mailed to my home. Overall, car is great but experience could have been better.

  • Cassandra Acosta

Thank you Top Notch auto sales for my new SUV. I didn’t think I had a chance to walk out with the car with my challenge credit but you made it possible. Me and my family are appreciated and will bring more customers your way. Thank you for getting us finance with a lower interest rate, and working with us. Updated review so happy with my car thanks

  • william vargas

DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM HERE. We bought a 2007 Honda Civic hybrid from here and as soon as we drove off the lot, the check engine light turned on. It turns out the hybrid battery was dead. We ended up paying 600 dollars out of pocket to buy a used hybrid battery. On top of that Jason is charging us 500 dollars for the license plates.

  • crystal lopez

Came in with my family and new born son looking for a used suv got approached by Jason he showed us all his vehicles then had us fill out a credit app process went smooth I had bad credit but Jason made it possibly we left in a new 2016 ford explorer thanks again for making us blessed and with a car thanks top notch auto sales

  • Filip Busic

Bought a 325i 2005 BMW from Jason! As a international student it's hard to get approved however it was no problem for Jason. He is clearly experienced and knows what he's talking about. He included two angel eyes plus free upgrades all around, and wished me best of luck at my new school in America.

  • Salvador Romero

Not very professional. The vehicle I wanted felt like the automatic transmission was having trouble changing gears. The guy tried to tell me that all Jettas do that and that it was nothing out of the ordinary.
