Surefire Motors

Been shopping for months for a car, you know the drill, gotta put on your game face and be on guard. I didn’t get that at all here.
Both guys we talked to were happy to stop what they were doing to help us, but didn’t pressure us or come off as cheesy or insincere. A difficult thing to fake when you’re about to close and I know you’ve got work to get back to. This is one of those places that’s a shop with a dealers license it seems. Could go either way in my opinion, but in this case we both were put at ease. Jake knew about the cat inside and out and showed us all the info he had on it, including the auction page, and a slew of photos he had from when they got it.
We got a great car and great service, and the prices they give to their customers for work on any of their cars are really great. Check this place out for a car or mechanical work for your imports, I’ll return.

Bought my 2003 VW Jetta Wagon there a year ago. I dealt primarily with Jake. He worked on my car, and new it inside and out. There was no pressure, and lots of patience as I asked tons of questions, (it was my first time buying a car too). Love my car. It’s 10 years old and has 125k miles, so it’s not new, but after negotiating some repairs it checked out A++ at for a pre-​sale inspection by my own VW mechanic. I would buy here again, but hopefully I won’t have to for a while :)
Oh– it’s not a glamorous office, it’s not in a glamorous neighborhood. The people that work there really care about cars, not about making you feel warm and fuzzy. I read reviews that said don’t let the mechanic-​vibe of the place deter you. After all you want to buy a car from people who like and care about cars, not about the waiting lounge décor. Jake was great and sells an honest product.

Jake was amazing, with impeccable transparency! I have never felt so cared for when dealing with automobiles in my entire life. I highly recommend him.

Wow! I wish I could give SIX stars or more to this business. Jake, the owner, is a gentleman and a genius. He took on a job for my Subaru that another mechanic had quoted for $ 518. Jake quoted $ 230. HOWEVER, an hour after he got the car in the shop, he phoned me and told me the first quote had been for work that didn’t have to be done. He took care of the problem immediately for around $ 35.
Honest AND efficient… it doesn’t get better than this!

Not so much a dealership as a garage with a small office. They fix up cars from dealer and insurance auctions. I was searching for a couple months for a car and literally looked at thousands online and dozens in person. My favorite dealer scam is advertising on their website and every day on Craigslist cars that either sold weeks/​months ago or they never had in the first place just to get you to call so they can try to wrestle out your phone number and price range. The guys at Surefire were completely chill. The words «what can I do to see you driving this home today?» never uttered. I’m not crying over the lack of balloons or free coffee either.
True Story–
Me: Has the timing belt been changed?
McDonald VW Salesman: I don’t see anything in the carfax but probably, they usually change the Jettas at 80k. (srsly?)
Jake at Surefire: Yes, I changed the timing belt and water pump and I have receipts and photos right here. (correct answer)
Price of my 02 Jetta from Surefire= $ 4700 (as advertised) + tax = auction price + parts + reasonable labor = $ 600 below KBB retail ($ 1,000 below going market value). 3 month Engine & Transmission warranty included.
Oh, and the car was removed from their listing by the time I drove it home. I’d say I plan on buying from them again but I expect to be driving this one for awhile.
