I would give this scam operation no stars if it were an option. They flat out lie and then verbally abuse you if you do not buy a car from them. Their cars are seriously overpriced and their model seems to be bait and switch. You will not find any cars on their website actually on their lot. Oh, and MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR DRIVERS LICENSE BACK from the sales guy. I was so upset over the verbal abuse - plus I actually had to yank my hand out of his when I was trying to leave, he was holding on to it continuing to harangue me -... read more

Who do these people think they are??!! – These people are RUDE, RUDE, RUDE!!!! The lady at the front desk was absolutely condescending and treated me like I was a moron. Really, who has a masters degree? Because I know you don't! Do not be fooled by these jokers. Even if the price says "Bidding price... 8900" and you show up with 9000 you will not get the car for 9000. Go somewhere else where you will be treated better. Give your money to someone who doesn't treat you like crap!

Horrible Experience – Definetly check the BBB on Public motors for a more accurate complaint statistic, they are on alert for a large amount of complaints. I drove to Public motors of Santa Ana to buy a car that was listed at 10,600.00 and I was gonna put 5000.00 down and they come back to me with the vehicle selling for 14000.00, unbelieveable. So I leave out of there after repeatedly reminding the salesman that he has my license, and as I'm walking across the lot to go home he yells to me what about 11500.00....Pathetic. N... read more

Questionable positive reviews – Check out the LA Better Business Bureau website to see details of the 96 complaints received over 3 years - think I'll stay away. Also, a quick check of the 10-12 most recent positive reviews show that they have reviewed many of the same places, even though they "live" in different areas. They each seem to see several dentists, and buy several cars and have only great things to say about everyone.

Owner is a COWARD – These people are LIARS! We drove from Big Bear for a car that they said WAS there I called 3xs before arriving. Each time they said yes the car "is here." I GET THERE AND THEY said it just sold, another sales person says "outside".. that it sold a week prior, but he could help! What..get the car back here? 1. They DO NOT have a CARFAX report. they show you a "fake" carfax. (the one on one of the cars was different than the one Alex printed. 2. They advertise 275 -300 cars on their web site, NOT EVEN close... read more

With this being my first car buying experience I have to admit i didn't know what to expect. Abel smoothed everything over. He was personable and knowledgeable. He was concise with details but met us on our level with our two little twin girls. Honestly? I'd buy from Abel anytime. Amazing customer service.

You're a sucker if you buy from these guys – Everyone gets scammed on occasion, and most people are aware that used car dealers are rarely honest. Be real. It's a business. So, it gives me great pleasure to NOT be as cunning and skillfully deceptive as OC Public Auction in Santa Ana. Yes, I am stupid. I am stupid for placing some faith in these guys, and, now,... I have no money to pay for the repairs necessary to get my ride back to the safety standards from when I originally signed the contract. These guys ripped me off fo... read more

When I first walked in I did not expect to feel so comfortable. I'm very glad everyone was very honest and up front, I'm happy I came here!
