I had gone to another garage for check up and, $3,000 later they had not yet addressed the problem of a 'minor oil leakage'. They asked $3,800 for the complete repair! I went to Kovacs for their estimate and it was just $1,100 for the same work! Needless to say I told them to do the work and they promptly and completely addressed the problem and, in the end, charged me just $980, well less than their estimate for final repair! This is the place to go for honest and fair car repairs.

I cannot say enough great things about Kovac motors and the owner Adam and his associate Esteban. They responded quickly to all of my questions, answered truthfully and honestly, and went above and beyond to help me. Adam, the owner, even met me on a Sunday when the dealership was closed to show me a car I was interested in. There was no pressure to buy, and he was extremely helpful. I did end up purchasing the car and was able to leave with it that day. Someone from their staff drove my old car I drove out there to my house the next day. I love the car I purchased and it was by far the best price I had seen (I have been looking for this exact color and model for a month). Low mileage and good price! I will 100% be coming back here when it's time to upgrade and buy another car in the future. Highly recommended!!

Polo has worked on my 2013 MINI Cooper twice now and has taken really good care of me both times. Very honest, ethical, professional and reasonable. I've lived all over California and have dealt with many different mechanics over the years, but I trust them here the most!

Bought a car there. Asked if the car had been in an accident and they said no. Turns out that it had been badly damaged and poorly repaired by their shop. Zero integrity.

I was getting very nervous hearing about all the Prius cars having there convertors stolen around Sonoma and other areas. I called all around town and also the dealership in Napa.Everyone quoted me prices of $ 350.00 to $ 500.00. I was happily surprised at the price I was given at Kovacks! They are very friendly and honest I used to do all my car business at Williams of Sonoma. He retired. Now I will be doing all my service at Kovacks. Honest, good workers pleasant and the best prices in town! I no longer worry about my convertor being stolen! Rosemary McCarthy

Adam Kovac is a complete liar! I told him that the sunroof leaks prior to trading my car in to him, in fact, I told him if he wants to change his offer to me I would understand. His response to me was, "Well, most people wouldn't disclose that before trading". AND the accident was prior to me purchasing my car. I didn't even know it had been in an accident because the Toyota dealership did not disclose this to me. When Kovac's sales guy pulled that up on the Carfax I was upset to hear that and he told me it's no big deal. Total LIAR! The loan company with my title loan told me that Kovac's payoff check never showed up and that she felt over the phone when initially talking to Adam Kovac that he sounded "fishy and couldn't be trusted" The loan place thought something did not sound right with the deal. Again, Kovac's is the devil and I wouldn't doubt it if his "good star" reviews are friends of theirs! Note: There was a very lengthy negative -0 star posted review prior to this update that luckily for Adam was deleted by mistake because I never use Yelp so I didn't know it was going to delete my original post when I posted this reply to his false response. I'm not going to waste my time to rewrite it. In a nutshell, don't trust Kovac's. Adam Kovac tried to take advantage of a single mom with a toddler that was in a bad situation. It's a long story I am not going to write again. Trust me, don't trust Kovac's. Pretty cars that don't work. Adam traded me a car that was headed for a huge repair bill which of course would mean broken down somewhere or worse, in a accident because the car was in bad shape. I traded him my perfect beautiful 2015 Toyota that was in EXCELLENT mechanical and body shape with only 43K miles. Adam Kovac is a car salesman that lives up to the stereotype car salesmen are given. The word around Sonoma is NOT to buy from Kovac's. I'm not the only one.

This would be no stars if possible. Set up an appointment for an oil change and tire rotation. Adam Kovacs he myself made the appointment and subsequently made sure that nobody I know or I will ever go there. After they had the car for four hours I called and asked if it was ready. The customer service lady could not tell if the car had been serviced or not. I said fine, I needed the car back so I walked to to get my car. After I arrived I noticed that at the very least the tires had not been rotated. The lady then told me that it hadn't been serviced. I have to admit that I was upset. But then it gets good. She can't find my keys. After a few minutes I am grumbling under I breadth and defenitley let out a few expletives, but I wasn't speaking to the customer service lady, I am just visibly frustrated with them losing my keys. Then Adam Kovacs shows up. For a second I thought I was going to get my keys from him, but no. He starts yelling at me that I have made his customer service lady uncomfortable. YELLING at me. I almost called the cops right there. He asked me if I cared that he had sick calls this morning. Do you care that you lost my keys? I come from customer service, from the food world. When people don't show up to work, you as the boss are responsible. Since I know that Adam Kovacs spent the morning at a car auction, I can tell you that he doesn't actually care about his or your business. Do yourself a favor, and spend your money elsewhere. He called the Sheriff for my review.

Thanks To Esteban and Kovacs Motors I was able to go home with a bmw 328. Esteban is super friendly and knows what he's talking about. Took his time to explain and talk about things. The place had a lot to choose from with amazing prices. Great place!

BEWARE BUYERS!! If you're considering buying a car from this place, I encourage you to have another mechanic look at the car before buying! I bought a 2014 Audi in April and it broke down before my 1st payment and has been continuously breaking down since! I haven't even been able to enjoy my new car because every time I get in I see a check engine light on! I traded in my 2009 Ford Flex with them knowing it needed a new catalytic converter as well as other repairs and they had it advertised the next day for sale. That person who bought my car a week later is also having problems since I know they couldn't have fixed it in that time! It wouldn't even pass smog when I turned it in! After the 4th time in the shop I asked for the Inspection Report on the car I bought and it had MY name on it with a date before I ever bought or saw the car! How does my name end up on paperwork before I bought it? They sold me a warranty for $4,800 and have billed my warranty company for repairs that should have been done before selling my car. Then the last time, they picked up my car and returned it dented and scratched and wouldnt take responsiblity for the damage while in their possession. The sardine can parking lot they put my car in for repairs is so small you have to park in the driveway! No wonder it came back damaged! I went to Kovacs because I like to support local and Im nothing but disappointed. Ive NEVER gotten a return call from Adam and I've left several messages. Hes NEVER returned my friends calls on my behalf either. Im not the first person this has happened to, I now know 3 others personally! They are running a shady car mill at the buyers cost. During the repairs the shop manager made every excuse for them and making up excuses lying! Another car mechanic said to me "A man who isnt loyal personally isnt going to be loyal in business"! I learned a big lesson buying a used car by not having someone else inspect it first. Small town to keep doing bad business!

Couldn't recommend this place enough. We came in to look at a beautiful 2012 Mercedes SUV and met Steve. Our process was so smooth, pleasant and laid back. We felt totally taken care of and in flow. The car is in excellent condition and we couldn't be happier!

Bought a 2008 Mini Cooper S that looked awesome on the outside but the motor is a disaster and they knew it. I figured out after we bought it that it needed the complete coolant system water pump,turbo coolant pump, thermostat,sensors, coolant fan, and then the turbo was almost failed so have to replace that. The head gasket has almost failed because of the coolant system. The salesman opened the hood to connect the battery on the test drive. "He said he was charging the battery" I bought that ok. No the fan was out and he didn't want me to hear it try to engage when it got hot. Very crooked place. Stay far far away they will lie through their teeth. I don't know who they paid to get these ratings. They will sell you a lemon and a warranty and want you to bring it back to their shop to fix it. They win twice. Don't lose with these guys. Now I'm stuck with a lemon and I was already in a tight spot when I needed the f'n car. Now I'm in a worse spot.

We bought a 2014 Mercedes B Class from Esteban. We live in Walnut Creek so we called him in the morning and he had the car charged for us when we arrived in the evening. The car was spotless. Kovacs Motors had detailed service records on the car and were very helpful! The technician who drove the car from auction to Sonoma provided us information on the remaining battery range for the car. We are thrilled with our purchase! Note: We were at CARMAX earlier in the day looking at the same model car. The salesman there was not nearly as knowledgeable about the car.
