Specialty Sales Classics

I would have gave ZERO stars but they don’t offer that. I was a salesperson for Specialty Sales Classics. I worked there for way to long. They wouldn’t pay my customers on time when they sold there cars. I have seen how they operate and it makes me sick to my stomach. The final straw was when I received my pay for January and it had ZERO commission money when I actually sold 4 cars. I would not recommend them to anybody. I usually give notice when I quit but they didn’t earn it!

This place is a joke! Beware to anyone wanting to sell their vehicle here, The staff here has no interest in selling your vehicle and from the other reviews I read on here it’s probably because they charge a monthly storage fee for you having your car here. I couldn’t get any help when I walked in, I finally spoke to a guy named Chuck and when I told him I had cash in hand only $ 2000.00 from the asking price he said no and walked away from me mid conversation, extremely rude! I then spoke to another gentleman and he said that shouldn’t be a problem and referred me back to chuck. I then asked chuck to call the owner and present my offer and he said no he’ll call another day and get back to me. This is the second time I visited in person and made an offer and never got a call back, I finally had to call them and they called me back minutes later and said the owner said NO WAY! I honestly believe they never even presented my offer. There attitude expresses no interest in selling a vehicle and they want you to beg them to buy the vehicle from them, I strongly recommend staying away from this place as a buyer and seller.

Update…
I put the 240z on E bay last December for $ 12 500.00 best offer. In two weeks it was sold for $ 12,000.
I paid less than $ 30.00 dollars for the E bay add and with the price set accordingly it sold in two weeks.
This was what I was avoiding to take my time but in the end, I lost close to 2K on Specialties in fees and most importantly time, a year.
Sorry for the late update.

These guys have an amazing collection of cars trouble is there are four locations, make sure you go to the location where the car is.

Great location and the sales people were nice and informative.

Visited the showroom over Good Guys Weekend, Awesome Cars and Great decent prices… Some show quality, some daily drivers. Went to Good Guys visited Specialty Sales Booth which was huge! 6 cars all classic and high end. Decided to head over to the showroom to see whats so special. What is so special is that there have about 50 to 70 Cars stuffed into an old classic building. Jeremy & Tucker are awesome, Very helpful and VERY Processional. Apparently the NEW OWNERS do everything different and actually follow DMV Rules and Laws… I would really recommend them to Sell/​Consign your car. Purchases are just as easy, They do all the paperwork, DMV, and anything else that may need to be done to make the sale go through…
Thank You ALL Very Much!!!
Pleasant and enjoyable experience.

We were looking for a Chevy SS truck, and found one on Craig’s list at this office in Pleasanton. We drove down from Vacaville, telling them ahead of time that we were coming.
When we got there, we couldn’t find anyone to help us. Finally, my husband went to the sales office, where the three sales people were all having lunch. Seems like they could have varied their lunch breaks so there was someone on the floor to help people.
We asked to test drive the car, and were told that you can’t test drive until you have MADE AN OFFER. Are you kidding me? How can you make an offer if you can’t drive the car? And wouldn’t that have been a good thing to tell us when we called? And this isn’t a hot rod — it’s a used car.
Obviously, we left. And we won’t be back.

Our classic car sat for over 7 months.
They kept telling us people were interested. But it never sold.
We dropped the price several times. Now keep in mind they want 4k to sell it and charge you monthly storage fees. So the price is set higher than it should be.
In my opinion if you google «your car year make and model for sale.» It should pop up in the search pointing to thier website. It does not.
So how do people know it’s there world wide?
The battery went dead around the 1^st month. It was a new battery to begin with.
We called a few times to say we are coming to get it around months 5 – 7 and the answer was usually «Oh someone is interested. Or someone is trying to finance it.»
Giving us that hope and keeping it there longer.
We finally went to get it to find broken trim and emblems during the inspection.
They knew they broke one piece and was hoping we wouldn’t notice.
The other piece they tried to put back on and scratched the paint.
So it was told to us they closed the door and the piece popped off.
They just tossed it behind the drivers seat.
We were kind of mad about the broken piece and they wanted to know what to do to make it better.
Uh what do you think? FIX IT!!!
They also put some tire dressing on the tires that gets all over the place and is messy. We were never told they were going to shlop on that stuff.
While waiting for the paperwork to release it back, we noticed the warehouse is full of cars. Which means $$$$ in monthly fees from all the owners.
So what is the real incentive for selling the car when they are making money for letting all those cars sit in storage.
So use your best judgment when using this place.
Make sure nothing goes undocumented and keep in mind they are charging you to store your car and if it does sell, they get 4k or more.
On a closing note. When we looked back on the website, there is the car saying SOLD.
Oh really? We took it back. It never sold.
Update. July 5 2015. Karma?

Redwood City location!
The service staff here makes this place shine. My experience here was excellent from the start! Rick was very helpful and professional. Sorry I did not get the name of the other person which by spending very short time on the computer got the history on this car and told me that they will accept the car into their show room
On the way there I got lost (Big time) and they were patiently waiting for me.
They were very knowledgeable about our car and they made it very easy for me to interact with them.
The show room was just amazing, five stare so far.
Let’s see how the process of sealing of our car will go…

Two thumbs up to these folks; I have privately sold cars in the past and found it to be a hassle. What with all the phone calls test drives and no shows from perspective buyers and not to mention the DMV paperwork. The staff at Specialty Sales Classics were friendly efficient and knowledgeable, the showroom was clean and neat, and my car was well detailed displayed and represented in their website. My sale went off without a hitch and I am very pleased with my results, Rod worked with me through the whole process, I will be a repeat customer.

Specialty Sales is an awesome place to visit. Their inventory is amazing with everything from a Model T to a Lamborghini and everything inbetween. For some reason their Benicia location isn’t listed but that facility has more cars than the Pleasanton which equals more eye candy. I bought a car from them and the experience was excellent and I will certainly go back. I have referred 2 other people who have also bought cars. Don’t be afraid because they do have more affordable every-​day cars too!
