HJ Auto Group

I rarely give out reviews because I’m too lazy to write one. I’d rather write a well thought out review rather than a generic review that doesn’t help the reader.
Anyway, HJ Auto Group is that kind of business that is worth my time making a decent review. I’ve been searching for a Lancer Evolution X for about a month. Did some research on the car and did some shopping. Was debating between a 2014 GSR with an SSS package or a 2015 Final Evolution version. Thanks to the unscrupulous actions of a Mitsubishi dealership (They will be my first one star review, stay tuned!) I’ve decided to stay away from «satan» (what DSMers called the dealerships) and stick again with an independent dealer after going through a smooth transaction purchasing my wife’s car through one. Shopped around, even went all the way to San Diego all for naught. I waited patiently and finally found the color I wanted with all the options I was looking for and with just the right amount of mileage and cost. The car was at HJ Auto Group in Rosemead so I decided to check it out.
Upon arrival, I was greeted pleasantly by David. A little small talk and then David showed me the car. The car was in the condition I wanted (except for the bird poop on the spoiler, which David took care off, sorry David: P) so we proceeded for a quick test drive. The vehicle performed to my expectations, so we talked numbers. After less than 10 minutes of negotiations, we finally arrived at a number that we both agreed on. (something that previous independent dealers weren’t willing to do) Shook hands, took care of some bank paperwork. Within one week, I was the happy owner of a 2014 Phantom Black Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X with the sight, sound, and spoiler package. No fuss at all. There’s a reason they have a 4 star rating on Unilocal.A+++ David. Would do business with again.

I want to give a zero if I can, They sold me a 2010 Toyota Camry that has the chassis problem but they did not tell me. I had to sold that car. This dealer was so terrible.

Found my dream car on
. Met with David who was easy to work with and highly knowledgeable about cars. David made the buying process smooth and convenient. We worked out a great deal I couldn’t refuse and I finally brought home my BMW X6. Great car, Great price, Great dealer!
Thanks HJ-​Auto

I got a 2015 Mercedes C300 4Matic from them. The car is perfect! And they offer me a very low price, even better than Carmax. Young and Divid helps me to choose the car and apply the loan. They are professionals. They know things. My credit history is not very well, but amazingly they helps me get the loan in 24 hours with very low interest rate and down payment. I am very happy to work with them, and I hope next time I will still bought cars from them. Now I have been using my car for half year and it runs like new.

See David for anything at this lot. Super good dude with a big heart. Thank you David for all your help. Happy holidays and wish all you guys a successful new years. Thanks again

so good! I bough my car from this dealer ship, very nice service! Good deal and nice people in this dealer ship!!!

What a great car buying experience! The staff there was so professional and helpful. HJ auto you won’t be disappointed.

My experience at HJ autogroup was great as always. They really made the car buying experience comfortable for me & they were ultimately the reason why I wanted to go back to HJ to actually buy the car. They were excellent!

I got my car from this dealership, great service and offered me a really good deal. And every time I got some questions about cars, I go for them and they are always very helpful

I absolutely love this place. Just bought my BMW 5 Series and staff was more than awsome. Ask for David Leon he’s an honest sales men with great customer service. I would recommend them to anyone.

I recently purchased a car here and David made my car-​buying experience a fun and exciting one. I’ve always had subpar experiences with other dealers, but David kept up constant communication and there were no surprises. I’ve already recommended him to family. A+.

Went in there two weeks ago and Dave helped me out with everything I needed and i{m loving my car. He answered all of my questions and helped me out with some things I needed for my car. I will definitely recommend this place to my friends and family.

I had to revise my review from a 5 star perfect experience to 2 star. Here is the reason why…
The car I purchased was a 2012 Mercedes CLS 550. The car gets 5 stars. Excellent condition inside and out. It had 2 very minor scratches at the time of sale. Moving on to the experience… Dave was the man handling my transaction. Prior to the sale of the vehicle he was prompt, courteous, professional, everything you would expect from a car sales guy. Returned my calls within minutes, no BS type of guy. He got me approved over the phone very quickly (My 839 credit score probably helped). I decided to make the 3 ½ hour drive from Vegas to Rosemead, CA to purchase the car. During the sale everything went very smoothly as expected. I tried to haggle Dave for a grand because the tires looked worn. (Price of 4 new tires on 19 in. rims would run well over a grand). He didn’t budge and I proceeded with the purchase. After test driving this fine automobile, I spent 15 min with the paperwork and I was back on my way to Vegas.
After the sale… terrible. There were a couple of minor follow up issues that I had to initiate. One was the spare key had to be mailed to me separately. It was sent to me by mail, busted. There is a little lever door on top of the key fob that releases the actual hard key. This lever door was broken (not covered under warranty). Now when this key’s battery dies, you have to use that lever to get into the battery area. Dave told me to use a toothpick to open the key. Yes it probably would work but I honestly don’t want to be sticking toothpicks in my 50 grand dream car’s key fob to open it up. Maybe on a Honda Civic. I asked for a key replacement or monetary reimbursement. Dave didn’t budge. I mean… if a key fob is $ 400 and I spent 50 grand on the vehicle, that’s less than 1%… come on dude, keep a brother happy… His words, «we usually don’t even include a spare key on used cars (like I should feel lucky I got a spare). And «the previous owner won’t replace the key».
Another issue Dave was supposed to get back to me on was on the balance of the extended warranty. Again I had to call him and the answer I got (twice) was the «previous owner» was out of town and he had to ask him. (2 months now) I don’t really understand how it works but because the car was Certified Pre Owned, I was not able to get the extra warranty that was on the car, which was an extra year. Only the factory warranty. Regardless, I never got a return call.
Summary: The cars here are most likely going to be nice. Dave will do anything to get your booty to sign that dotted line, as he should. After the sale you can say Sayonara to any follow up, lingering issues. You are pretty much history.
My advise is to make sure you get any unresolved issues in writing prior to the sale. If you are not completely satisfied DO NOT get the car until all of YOUR expectations are met. I honored everything on my end, as a 839 credit score man would.

This guys are amazing they help you with all your needs, david is the man here he act fast and do his job so good…

Awesome! Best way to describe our experience. Working with David made everything smooth. Very professional and helpful. Left feeling really good about purchasing a vehicle from them. Will definitely return to them when I’m in the market for a car again.

My sister and I were interested in BMW 335i they had. We immediately contacted them via email and David was prompt and professional with the responses. He was flexible with our busy work schedules and went out of his way to email and call us to keep us up to date with loan process. Nothing but good things to say from beginning to end. He didn’t just walk away from us and went with another buyer, he stuck with us knowing that we were extremely interested in the car. At the end of the day we got what we wanted. Couldn’t be more happy. Really recommend. Not your average small dealer. Not sketchy at all extremely friendly, courteous, and professional. And the exotic cars are a plus to look at while there.

I recently bought a bmw car with salesman DAVID LEON. He’s the best. Honest and very friendly and make you feel very comfortable with no pressure and no b/​s around. He will help you anyway and anything he can to satisfy his customers. Highly recommend to anyone when thinking in buying a car. Buy the car with DAVID LEON at HJ Auto Group. All paperworks are FAST taken cared of and you don’t need to do anything with your insurance company and dmv. He does all the transactions very fast and you don’t need to wait long hours to get out of the office.

I recently purchased a used car from HJ Auto Group, and have nothing but good things to say about these guys. I worked with David Leon, who was extremely friendly and assured me they only buy vehicles in great operating condition.
Sure enough, I had an independent mechanic check out the Bimmer I was interested in, and he was surprised how good of shape the car was in for being a 2008 model. The only thing he noticed was that the battery was weak, which David had replaced a few hours before I picked the car up (no upcharge). A week later and I’m in love with the car and have no regrets.
HJ definitely seems to have higher standards than the other small used car dealerships I checked out before visiting them. Overall I had a great experience working with HJ, and would definitely recommend them if you are looking for a quality used vehicle (they have exotic cars like Lambos and Maseratis as well — sadly out of my price range).

I saw a post on auto trader of my dream evo X but 5 hours away from where i live gave it a try tought i was not going to be aprove i decided to do the finance application on their web page an hour or so later i recieved a called from David explaining the process making everything simple easy to do and well explained i emailed him and the next day i drove the 360 miles to HJ auto group got there meet David he then again explain the process and helped me out in a matter of minutes i was off driving my dream car i would recommend this place to everybody and look forward doing business with you guys again.

We needed a new vehicle. I looked on line, saw what we wanted at HJ Auto Group. I called and spoke with David Leon. We went to the lot and saw the vehicle, took it for a test drive. We were thrilled with the price David quoted us, and the service was BETTER than when we bought our last vehicle at the Honda Lot in Cerritos. I totally recommend the professional, helpful service at HJ Auto. Ask for David Leon, although all the guys were great!, but he was exceptional. Great car, terrific price, and the service was outstanding!
