Saw an ad on marketplace for a 1998 Honda Prelude and was interested, which then lead me to Active Auto Group (No longer are under Forza Motors) and Ivan was quick to respond. After discussing what day and time to meet, and over the course of waiting for Monday any updates or questions I had he would respond positively. Once I got to the dealership Ivan greeted me and we went to go see the Prelude. Looking around the lot from what I could tell Ivan took care of the vehicles he had, they were detailed from what I could tell and were very organized. When looking over the Prelude he let me look over everything, trunk, touching all the buttons, and there were some problems but just small things like the powered windows not working but I was purchasing a 20+ year car. After that we worked the final process out and now am currently waiting from confirmation from my bank and soon be able to pick it up! There's also a foosball table inside the store but I never got to use it. Ivan told me the store is family owned, and I would recommend purchasing your first vehicle, second, or third vehicle here because the service and communication with Ivan just can't be compared to regular brand dealerships better Update: The car had a check engine light come up but it was just minor like spark plugs and cables needing to be replaced. Just keep in mind some of these vehicles are old and depends on whoever the previous owners were of the vehicle you are interested in

Wish I could give less than 1 star, I drove 1.5hrs I was suppose to meet someone to buy a car here. I show up and the only person there was a detail guy and the "car" apparently had issues and was taken to a shop to be fixed. Owner never even showed up, stopped responding to me and the next day the car was posted as sold. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THESE PEOPLE.

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would! This place is the worst place to purchase a vehicle. I purchased a car back in January 2020 within 2 weeks I had to return back to them because my battery was not working. However that was just the beginning of many many issues in my vehicle. I encountered over $3000 in damages that I needed to repair within the first year of my ownership with that car. To say the least they paperwork was horrible. They upped my car price $2000, I traded in a vehicle was never listed on any of my documents, and lastly the warranty they gave cannot cover all the issues I encountered throughout the year of ownership with that vehicle. I sadly, because I wasted my money, I had to purchase a vehicle just 15 months after I purchased from them. I have definitely learned my lesson and they will definitely see me in court. They have a poor communication, I have contacted Aaron, and of course he has failed to return any of my texts. Save yourself the headache and do not buy a car from here! They sell nothing but lemons, upon reading the reviews I see I was not the only issue that was done with Forza. This place needs to be closed down!

Bought the car NOV 2019 and put over 40k miles into it - no major troubles with it since! I was self employed with a low credit score so the fact that I was approved was a miracle.

Just a horrible place to buy a car from. Absolutely horrible experience, but we learned our listen. They tried selling me a car and wanted to do in house financing. I told them I'll give them a check from a credit union to which Aaron said no. FYI Aaron is the worst salesmen you'll meet. He is extremely rude and arrogant. Has zero customer service skills. Doesn't know how to negotiate one bit. Also, the car had way many more miles in person than listed online and needed maintenance work done. Also they were holding my down payment and wouldn't give it back when I demanded a refund. I had to use aggressive verbal force from a friend to get it back. Idk how the 3 Asian people working their can tolerate him, because they seem like very nice people. Their is 2 Asian guys. 1 younger guy and 1 older guy. Then their is 1 Asian girl. Notice how I said seem. I will say one good thing though. Forza Motors is one hell of a name, but this place doesn't live up to the standards like the video games do. I ended up buying a similar car for a better deal and lower mileage from somewhere else. I really dodged a bullet in the end.

Went to look at an Audi S5 cabrio. When i called they said it was high miles, but in great condition and mechanically sound. Even after letting the car warm up, the valve tap (or maybe slapping timing chain) was so loud it sounded like a machine gun. They tried telling me that it was normal... The guy was more concerned about his appearance in horse riding boots than he was in presenting his auto inventory. He really did check himself out in every reflection he passed... Great selection of desirable autos (Audi, Mercedes, BMW, etc), but after my experience there I'd never buy from them without a warranty.

If your looking into buying a nice car and see all the nice cars this place has ..keep driving ...they sell nothing but lemons, when u take a car off the lot they give you a warranty and if something goes wrong with in that time frame they dont fix s*** , save yourself time and money and buy a car somewhere else where they actually care and dont sell lemons.

They are thieves who take advantage of costumers by hiding bogus fees. I am a disabled veteran and informed Aaron Vansickle of this. Aaron is a flat out thief. Instead of doing the right thing who took advantage of the situation and hid a fee for $2051. Consumer watchdogs are already coming after them for this. Local news and V.F.W. have been informed. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCAM OF A DEALERSHIP! Aaron Vansickle scammed me a disabled veteran for a bogus $2051 fee, anti theft replacement. He is a fraud and the whole place is set up to take advantage those who can't help themselves. I am posting on here responses from this scam artist. After confronted he used this tactic to justify ripping me off. He accused me of screaming, he wants to paint himself the victim........Here it is..."No one said there was nothing that could be done Scott. You continued to scream on the phone and would not allow anyone to speak prior to your disconnecting the phone call. Your threats are warranted. If you would like to go over all the disclosures and documentation which you were disclosed and you personally signed, Which comply with the California Car buyers bill of rights and compliance, I will be happy to do so. If you would like assistance in understanding further I will be happy to help. If you would like to discuss coming to an agreement together I would be open to speaking with you about that also. I will not however, Continue to be berated and abusively attacked by you verbally. No one is going to get anywhere with that approach." He then sent this "The only time that I said anything to you about trying to do something would have been ONLY out of goodwill to make sure you were a happy customer. Unfortunately, At this point with all of your threats you are welcome to have any further communication directed to our corporate attorney." This guy is a scumbag. Local news, the V.F.W. and authorities are getting involved. Anyone giving bad reviews on here is spot on. When the so called owner defends it I am guessing it's scammer Aaron Vansickle.

Worst experience ever!! Aaron is an a******* My husband and I went down there to check out one of the Subaru model they had. The first red flag was when my husband went in their and asked if he could test drive it and AARON ask well do we plan on buying it today because we're short staff. That through me off a bit but my husband still want to test drive the car. Before the test drive Aaron told us to come in a signs some papers so he could give us an estimate. The entire time in his office he gave us attitude. I was so uncomfortable and wanted to leave but my husband still wanted to test drive it so we did. After the test drive we went back to the office to talk about the cost. This man disrespected my husband after my husband explain to him how much he was willing to pay a month. ( my husband and I are a young. We are both 21 and this is my husband's first time buying a car without his parents) so obviously we didn't know exactly what we were doing. Aaron was not helpful at all and he even stated " well goodbye, because I am unable to work with that". Aaron made me feel like my husband and I weren't potential customers. I felt disrespected because that is my man he the way he was talking to him was uncalled for. Aaron could've handle this situation professionally but he didn't and that why a cussed his rude a** out. And told him he need to learn how to talk to people. Hopefully in the future he learns how to give better customer service.

Purchased a car 2/28/18 it was a 2013 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution GSR. I had already looked at 4 others that day and was exhausted having driven 130 miles to the 1st dealer then another 40 east here. The ad said the car had 47,000 miles and was for 27000. I called and spoke to somebody who said they could help me get it out the door for 28300 after hearing what I was approved for etc. In the ad the car had 6 spoke Volk G2's (which are extra) in a gun metal finish and an AEM intake with an airbox(you'll see why I'm stating this later in the review). I luckily did my research before purchasing one of these knowing their biggest flaw was transfer case. My fiancee and I get to the dealer and see they are washing the car so I immediately feel good about this dealer. I walk around the car and immediately notice the wheels are painted black....horribly. Whatever I can paint fairly well. After all they are a $3600 set of wheels. Then they pop the hood. I noticed a few aftermarket parts that I know are worth some good change. Then I see the intake and the lack of an airbox. I go inside and speak to Aaron. Who immediately comes off as professional and courteous and had a sense of humor that made me settle a little. He had his dogs there which my fiancee immediately adored since she worked in the animal field. I spoke to him said I'm preapproved etc. Then I asked to go on a test drive. I was denied that since I was only 20 at the time and insurance wouldn't allow it. I was frazzled since if I liked the car I was for sure going to purchase it. I let another employee test drive it while I sat and listened for certain noises I didn't want to hear. Car didn't feel that quick but I get like that in passenger seats so I didn't think much of it. This is where I got irritated, insanely. I noticed the mileage in the car. It was 74000, not 47000. Whatever I figured typo maybe they'll drop the price. The car had about 6000 in aftermarket parts that'd be great. I mention it to Aaron then show him the ad as he in is disbelief. He then says that it was a typo and he'd be insane to sell me the car at that price. My blood started to boil, but then I remembered I was saving money on the back end so to drop it. He then proceeded to yell at the guy (presumably who I spoke with on the phone) that he never changed the ad. As we went over the paperwork the price upped $600 to $28900. I didn't say anything as with his better than you attitude I knew it wouldn't get me anywhere. Driving the car home I start to notice the lovely smell of sulfur. For those that don't know that means the catalytic converter is overheating due to either age or a rich fuel event. I think to myself this is great, but it also explained the cars lack of power in my head. As a cat gets hot it gets extremely restrictive. Next day I punched it out to avoid any possible engine damage, fixed the sulfur smell. Not the low power. As I was under the car I noticed the oil pan was soaked in oil. Luckily being a mechanic I knew it was an extremely easy fix but also got me nervous. So I did a thorough inspection of the car. I noticed that it had larger injectors, which explained the cat smell. There was an aftermarket boost control solenoid that was hastily zip tied to the engine loom and not hooked up which explained the lack of power. There was no spare tire (threw my tools in the trunk and watched them fall a foot). After about a few days of owning the car I got this noise that sounded like a creaky floorboard in the right rear of the car. Which turned out to be the S-AWC pump. After doing some research I learned that you could bleed the pump. Which I did and that luckily fixed the issue. I also noticed there was 3 different brands of tires while at the dealer. But upon closer inspection one looked torn to hell, so I replaced all 4. Luckily I worked at a Firestone so I got the tires relatively cheap but still paid $500. I then had to buy an accessport to properly tune the ve

Fraudulent issues with this dealership they'll keep your down payment saying it's your fault not getting financed... feel they don't even try to look for financing so the can just keep your money.. do not buy from them I ended up 3600 gone.
