So much wisdom and expertise at this shop. Won’t take my vehicles anywhere else. Jasper and Danny are great to work with.

Horrible company to work with. We ordered coil overs front and back for our vehicle and only to receive an email a few days later stating that we had to pay and additional $400.00+ more to receive both front and back. The website clearly stated that they were a full set (front and back) and I even received a confirmation email with pictures! It took over a week to reach someone in the customer service department and I talked to the supervisor James and he stated that they did not have to stand behind their advertised prices and that in section 4 of the Terms and Services that they had to right to change prices at any time. He said I HAD to pay the additional funds otherwise they wouldn't complete the order or just send the front end. I am taking my business elsewhere, to a company who stands behind their adds and products and I would suggest anyone considering to purchase through Throtl, not to. Extremely poor customer service and bait and switch tactics.

Do not use these guys you will see on google they had their own shop manager put a review. All reviews are from people they know. Aaron Sutton(posted a positive review on google and is their shop manager), Jasper RUBENSTEIN and Ashot ramshankaredyyy are all frauds. They took my car charged me a bunch of money and then returned the car in pieces. Trust me avoid this shop at all costs and don't be fooled by their fake rating. They have a case against them with the bureau of automotive repair and the BBB.

Please save yourself any trouble and do not buy a vehicle from Full Throttle and Jim Erickson. Some background: I purchased a car from Full Throttle that hasn't been able to pass a smog test since the original purchase date because the ECU monitors arent clearing. Upon attempting to return the car (CA law says you cant sell a car without it being smog legal) Jim Erickson and his mechanics gave me misinformation about needing to reset my drive cycle first. Upon doing so for thousands of miles, I realized resetting my uncleared monitors just wasnt happening. I took it to a real professional and upon doing so, found out that the issue is the car doesnt have its original downpipe, it is not legally configured and he refuses to take the car back or even after he misplaced the parts around the shop. Now he refuses to even cover the cost to get this car back to stock so I cant even get it smogged. This car cant be legally registered as a result. Jim Erickson didnt provide the necessary parts to have this car made legal nor did he feel any sense of urgency or responsibility to get this settled on his end. He keeps recommending illegal underground shops to do the work, which I have no idea what the work even entails. DO NOT TRUST JIM AND HIS MECHANICS. He threw me aside, avoided my calls and was very unprofessional. I DO NOT recommend. This was an awful experience that overall seemed very shady from the beginning. His constant argument is that "I Knew the vehicles condition" which is still against the law and literally an admission of guilt that this vehicle was not smoggable. NOWHERE in the original description did it say this car will not pass a smog, we had no bill of sale. I have already alerted the DMV, B.A.R of consumer affairs and am currently pursuing legal action. SAVE YOUR MONEY.TL; DR: Avoid this shop for all auto / consigment sales unless you want thousands in legal fees.Response to The owners followup: Jim, You never disclosed that this car couldnt pass smog and further you didnt provide the stock parts to allow it to pass. You completely put that responsibility on the buyer which is absolutely illegal in CA. This is the point I've been trying to get across to you since I purchased the vehicle.

The Story of my Experience with Full Throttle was nothing less than a fairytale come true. My Car was very highly modified with extremely high end parts. It was both Beauty and the Beast. It was thought of by Purest as an Abomination, a Beast. And by Import Car Fans and the Young at Heart, a One of a kind Beauty. Normal avenue that most people sell cars never worked for me over the past years. It was impossible for me to find the perfect match of someone who could appreciate this car and be able to afford to purchase it. So meeting Jim was a God sent. He has such amazing passion and knowledge of Imports and Exotic cars. And with his variety of sales methods, he was able to give my car, the buyer and me a Storybook ending. I will definitely sell my next car with Jim and Full Throttle and recommend any of my friends and family with exotic cars to do the same. My Car was a 1991 Acura NSX. Thanks Jim!!

Jim at Full Throttle is definitely and awesome guy to work with. When I first met Jim in person to see the car I was thinking about purchasing, I could tell he was a straight up guy. Very polite and definitely has a passion for what he does. Jim was quick to respond and address any questions and concerns I had during my buying process. I would definitely do business again with Jim at Full Throttle. Not only is the collection of cars top notch but it's his trustworthiness and customer service that earned my business. Thanks again, Jim!

I've had a lot of cars over the years, and been through many dealerships across Europe, Aisa and now the states too. I wanted a Hellcat in perfect condition; Jim and the Full Throttle team were great and highly professional. Jim looked after everything and had the right car. I recommend Full Throttle to any prospective buyer.

Posting a 4 star review since Yelp will not accept that Jimmy is the sh*t. Please understand that what I want to give is a 5 star review. Long story short, Jimmy sold my parents old Porsche for them after they thought they couldn't sell it because they wouldn't get an offer they felt was acceptable. Sure enough Jimmy took the car, put it in his shop and found a buyer. He's a very trustworthy guy, meet all our needs and we will definitely be doing business with him again! Thanks Jimmy

(reposting from my husbands review) I wanted to do something special for my wife at the conclusion of the year (2018). The holiday season is extra special for our family not only do we have all of the holidays, my birthday, but we also have our anniversary just after the new year and my wife just graduated from Penn State or at least completed all of her classes for her degree. So, it was indeed a special time of the year for her. My wife's dad always had a Z car when she was growing up and when the Z32 model came out in the early 90s she wanted one but was never able to get one and it became her dream car. So, I thought it would be a great idea to find one and buy it for her. Which brings me to Full Throttle Auto Sales, after hours, days, weeks of searching and looking at junk 300zx from the early 90s that should be towed to the junk yard, I found one reasonably priced at Full Throttle Auto Sales. I sent Jim an email and asked the basics questions and was able to schedule a time to talk to him over the phone. I told him my story and my requirements around acquiring a car. Jim is easy to talk to, down to earth, not pushy, and he went the extra mile to make me feel comfortable about the car. We drove up to Morgan Hill and meet him in the early morning. He greeted us with a smile and gave us space to crawl over the car and tossed us the keys and told us to take it around the block and to come get him if we had any questions. We made up our minds and the process to purchase started. Normally buying a car makes me want to tear my eyes out. But the hardest part of this process was making the decision to buy a 30-year-old car with no SS or Z28 badge on the grill... (Maybe next time Jim) But, hey the car is for my wife not me and she loves it. Thirty maybe forty-five minutes later we were done and on our way back home. Jim was accommodating, he went the extra mile to make us happy with the purchase, and he made the paperwork process as painless as possible and he has since followed up to make sure that we are enjoying the addition to our family. I recommend Full Throttle Auto Sales to anyone looking for a specialty car, hot rod, or anything out of the ordinary. Their inventory is impressive, their staff is knowable about cars (which I believe is rare), If they don't have it in stock I bet Jim can find it and at a reasonable price. Full Throttle Auto Sales' show room is well organized with lots to see that will catch your attention and spark fun stories and exciting opportunities for some lucky buyer! The most important thing, is that their facility is well maintained and very clean and decorated. The attention to detail is evident simply by looking around the facility. Thank you to Jim and the staff at Full Throttle Auto Sales for making this 1990 300zx Twin Turbo an extra special gift and a dream come true!
