Axiom Auto Group

Bought a Mercedes C350 from Axiom a few weeks ago. They posted on craiglist for a pretty good price and I ended up getting a really sweet car in fantastic shape for much less than the big dealerships. The car was in awesome condition as were all the cars on the Axiom lot. The guy I dealt with, James, was very professional, no pressure, and not the typical cheesy car salesman - definitely a cut above the rest and takes being a true professional seriously. This is a smaller size car lot, but presents like a big dealer = nice showroom, cars in premium condition and very clean, plasma TV in the showroom and great customer service...

Anyway, great company to deal with and I would definitely buy from them again and recommend to a friend.

Bought my Infiniti G35 here and got an awesome deal on the price. Both James and Alex were very easy to talk to, no pressure and overall I had a very pleasant experience. The quality of the car is top notch. Would definitely recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a quality vehicle.

James is great, just bought another Infiniti from him this past weekend. Car was in excelent shape and low miles. We were in and driving the car home in less than 2 hours.

Like other's have said in their review's, James is very low pressure and lets his quality in luxury cars sell themselves. He is very knowledgeable about all his cars. He had the one we bought sent to the local infiniti dealership for a full service and to have any outstanding sb's completed.

Thanks again James, we'll definetely be back in the future.

Picked up a 2008 G35s here earlier this week (with a specific set of options that are quite difficult to find together, even in a large metro area like San Fran/San Jose).

Similar experience to other posters here - car was in great condition and the service (from James) was explemary. They don't apply any pressure to buy, they let the quality of the cars speak for themselves. They have a small inventory, but they are 'choice' cars that are in top condition with the right options and extras that a discerning buyer looks for.

I found James to be extremely knowledgeable on the cars, its always great to do business with someone who is passionate about what they do (rather than a sales guy who just wants to make his commission).

Highly recommended if you are looking for a used car.

Just picked up our 2008 G35 from Axiom Auto Group today. The car was immaculate. It was hard to find any flaw with the car, and we got a great deal on top of that. Although the inventory may be small, the selection is superb: nothing but excellent condition cars with low miles!

We received excellent service with the highest professionalism from both the saleman (Paul) and the manager (James). There was no pressure to buy. We decided to buy because we knew we couldn't find a better condition car for the price. We would definitely come back to Axiom for our next luxury ride. I would recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a luxury car.

Never bought a car from this place, but I got a detail here. Service took about 5 hours without an appointment, and they did a fantastic job. Clay service with interior and engine bay cleaned as well. Car looked like new. Paul was the one who greeted me and he was friendly and helpful. I was also able to meet James, the owner, briefly and he seems like a nice guy as well. Looking to come back here for future detailing needs. Cash only for the detailing.

After numerous hours spent researching cars and dealerships online (new and used). We spent a day down in the southbay looking at cars. Unfortunately most dealerships idea of a 10+ car is allot different than the consumers.

This dealership was our last stop for the day (wanted to save the best for last). The car was as advertised online and was a true 9.5/10. All the info they provided was true and accurate (carfax,infiniti,qua lity,etc). They didn't negotiate on the price, but showed us their invoice. It was what we wanted to pay anyways (from kbb and nada trade-in value), so that wasn't a biggie.

James & Paul were no pressure type of salesmen, rare to find these days. We took the g35 on a fairly long drive to ensure it didn't have any issues, with Paul asking us too. They left us alone while we verified some info (with infiniti) and then purchased the car. The whole process took less than 2 hours (test drive thru driving away with the car). They did a nice detail job on the car before we drove it away as an added bonus.

Thanks James & Paul was a pleasure.

Updated: 10 days after purchase and we recieved the plates and a refund check for the dmv fees. We'll definetly be buying out next car here (again).

We paid this place a visit when they were at the old location and test drove a car. We didn't end up buying a car at that time, but later went back to the new location and this time did buy from here after driving a few different cars and visiting several other dealers.

Such a different experience to any other car dealer I've visited in the area. Anyone looking for a new or used car should check this place out. Unlike anywhere else, James is actually interested in working with customers to make sure they are happy and end up with what they are looking for. There's no time wasting, pressure or money grabbing tricks you get at a typical car dealer, just good, honest service and value for money. I hope this leads to a long and successful business.

Let me tell you. I have found the last Auto Dealer I will ever go to again! James and the Axiom Auto Group are top notch! My wife and I recently purchased a 2008 Mercedes C300 with all the bells and whistles and James helped us from the test drive to the financing as well as our TWO trade-ins. I feel we got fair value for the trade-ins and a total NO PRESSURE sale. Axiom has the best mix of luxury cars at the best prices. I couldn't have found a better deal except maybe for the new 2008 red Mercedes C300 they have on their lot now.

The cars they have are well maintained and detailed and their customer service was beyond exceptional. Even though we ended up not going with their financing, we were offered a very competitive rate. I must say that the next time I need or know someone that's looking for a car, I'm sending them to James and the Axiom Auto Group. Thank you James, my wife and I love the new car. Hope to see you again soon...

I first saw the ad for the car ('07 G35 Journey w/ Premium Package) about mid-August and contacted James about it. Went in a couple weeks later to check out the car. The lot itself is small but very well maintained. All the cars seem to receive a thorough inspection and detailing and continue to be maintained while still under his care. I initially drove the car and asked a bunch of questions, for which he gave me honest and thorough answers. It took me a while to decide (about another month), but James was very patient and answered all of my questions. When I finally decided to purchase, I went in and met Norman (his brother). Basically went through a relatively quick and painless process and drove the car off the same day! I also got it for an excellent price (I won't lie though, they knows their prices are good so it's tough to bargain!).

Highly recommend coming here if you're looking for your next car!

I had a wonderful experience with these guys. The reviews were right on the money. They were friendly, they weren't pushy, I didn't feel pressured or stressed. Would I buy from them again? Yeah and I may very well just do that.

Well, what can I say about Axiom Auto Group. I just purchased an 07 BMW 335i from them, and James has been a pleasure to work with from the first time I walked into the dealership. He came out and greeted me with a warm welcome and asked me if I needed any assistance. Coming from an SUV, It was quite hard for me to transition to a gas friendly vehicle. But James made it easy for me. Took time to explain what my options were, and accepted an offer we both thought was very reasonable. Paperwork was very easy and thorough. Honest, professional, and easy to do business with were his three qualities that sold me. Look no further folks, Axiom Auto Group is the place to look for nice pre-owned vehicles. I'm glad I did, and so should you. Thanks James!

I recently purchased a '08 328i from James. This was my first used car purchase, so I had a lot of questions and requests before I made my purchase. James was able to provide me with honest answers to everything. He was very knowledgeable about the cars that he sells, and was never pushy whenever I went to go see the car. It took me about a month to decide on the car, and throughout the whole time, he kept in contact with me and was patient with answering all my questions. When I was finally ready to make the purchase, we agreed on a price, signed the paperwork, and off I was with a new car. It was probably the smoothest car transaction I've ever had.

I definitely recommend James when it comes to buying a used car. He has a good selection, is honest and straight-forward and will give you the best price.

This is the second car I am buying from James, and having recently visited a nearby dealership to take a look at some 2011 models, I remembered why I stopped going to those places in the first place. James is a very rare combination of a car guy (the extent of his automotive knowledge is very impressive and was a huge plus for my fiance) AND a great businessman, which means a haggle-free, honest and enjoyable car shopping experience for me. And to top it all off, his prices are pretty much impossible to beat!

James was very attentive to what I wanted out of a car (even if all I cared about was color, sunroof and heated seats) and didn't try to sell me something else entirely just to make a sale. He was able to talk about differences between model years and explain car features in a language I could understand - many other dealerships can definitely learn from him!

He was also very patient with me even when I came back several times trying to decided between the EX and the RDX, and was always willing to do another test-drive, to help me make sure I was making the right choice. Overall, the customer service was great! I never felt pressured or rushed, got my RDX at a great price and couldn't be happier.

If you're looking for something different that the usual BS that often comes along with car shopping at some dealerships, check out Axiom, you will not be disappointed.

I purchased an 05 minicooper S from James a couple years ago but forgot to write this review. James listened to what I wanted in the car and actually called me personally to say he found one for me that met my specs. This type of personal service and great price will assure that I will be coming back here for my next car purchase. Thanks James and Axiom.

Well, I must say, buying my car through Axiom was a truly pleasant experience, thanks to James. You know what people say about auto dealers, and you've probably met some that fit the bill very well. But working with James on my transaction was as smooth of experience as it could possibly be. Communication was top-notch, he was extremely helpful and we agreed on a very good price for the car. I would easily recommend him and Axiom Auto to anybody looking for a hassle-free car purchase.

There are some honest and professional auto dealers after all, as I almost lost my faith in that. Thanks James and Axiom!

Have no fear people, there are some truly honest and genuine dealers out there, and Axiom is one of them. Big shout out to James for not kicking my husband to the curb after he almost drove us into a semi on El Camino. Carlos even let me stay in the lobby for 2 hours to fend off other buyers...lol...I wanted my new Infiniti G35 really bad. Very good customer service, but beware...James can play some hardball! Thanks for providing a great product Axiom Group

We had the best experience ever buying a car with James Lee from Axiom Auto Group. The cars in his inventory are top-class and the whole process is as smooth as it can get. Also, you don't get any of the salesman-tricks from James. He never asked us, "are you buying today?" or "the price is only good for today"...the kind of questions I have faced at other dealerships.

All in all, if you are looking for a premium used car, save yourself time and just go to Axiom Auto!

Two cars in 3 years and have enjoyed the experience both times. The first one was purchased from the Santa Clara location, which was a little hard to find, but the new location in Sunnyvale was a breeze to locate.

I worked with James on both purchases....he was knowledgeable about the cars, was not pushy at all, and was patient with me because I'm one of those 1001 questions type of people :) Hey, I just like to know what I'm getting.

All in all, I came back here for a reason, and refer my friends and family, because if he doesn't have the car on his lot, he'll even go looking for the car! Plus the prices are fair and sometimes below market value :)

I got the car last week and it looks great. It was naturally dirty when delivered, but it cleaned up quite nicely. Thanks for your honest description of the car.

Thanks for making this such a professional transaction. I'll be happy to ask as a (positive) reference if you ever need one!

I recently purchased an Infiniti G35 Journey sedan in as immaculate condition as it could be given that it is the 2007 model. Besides the great deal and the remaining mileage on the factory warranty, James' honesty, straightforward approach, and trust in his customers (including myself) had sealed the deal.

He patiently walked me through his financing options, extended warranty options, allowed me to test drive to my content, and did not sell me the car just for its fancy features, which many car salesmen I've dealt with do. He did not send unnecessary nag Email messages or make unnecessary nag phone calls.

Another big positive is that I did not once feel pressured into buying a car. He is patient and was willing to describe any car he had available without bias, so that it did not seem he was trying to get rid of a specific car. James also proved to be knowledgeable and shared his knowledge without overwhelming me with car specs.

Allowing a buyer to rethink about a car purchase without pressure is one of the most important factors that I expect from a quality dealership and James delivered.

James of Axiom Auto Group is a pleasure to work with, and you don't get any of that creeping suspicion that you're about to get cheated as at other dealerships.

My fiance and I came in to test drive a BMW 3-series. It was in excellent condition, and was a GREAT deal for the options it had. Unlike other dealerships we went to, there was no rush and no pressure, and both of us got to do a full-fledged test drive (none of that "you drive in one direction and she can drive on the way back" stuff). Not only that, but the test drive was much longer than we had at any other dealership (my fiance even joked that he was starting to "get bored" by the end of it).

He's extremely honest when talking about the cars. At other dealerships we had to deal with the salespeople telling you ANYTHING to make a sale--the phrase "fully loaded!" has become an inside joke with us. Here you actually get an honest answer about what the car has, and he doesn't pressure you into buying something you're not sure about.

Unfortunately we didn't end up buying the car from James as we found one elsewhere with heated seats--the one option that his car did not have that I really had my heart set on. Still, throughout my experience at the BMW dealership I was comparing it to Axiom, and the usual "large dealership" tactics, and the comparison was definitely in Axiom's favor. We didn't get a car from him this time, but next time we need a car AAG will definitely be at the top of our list of places to check out.

Amazing. They are by far the best private dealer in the Bay. After major investigation I just purchased a pre owned BMW from them. They blow their competitors prices out of the water. Great guys that work there too. Absolutely recommend.

Awesome purchase experience from james @ Axiom.

From our initial contact to signing on the dotted line. I couldn't be happier with the service that was provided by James. What more could I ask for, I got a great deal and great service. I'll def be back when it's time to get my next car!

James is the absolute best car dealer I've ever come across. He's not only helpful, he's honest! An honest car dealer!!! I definitely never thought I'd use that word to describe a person in this line of work. Seriously, James knows his stuff and he strives to be successful by maintaining his reputation in providing great service. Once you experience this for yourself, you'll see why he has so many returning customers. You not only leave with a great car at a great price... you leave with a peace of mind that you can't find in any other private dealership.

My wife and I were interested in a 2006 BMW 530i and we saw what we wanted at Axiom. James was very polite, courteous and answered every question we had about the car. We finally decided not to purchase the vehicle, due to other financial obligations, but I wanted to write a review to recommend James' service and expertise. He has a great selection of vehicles to choose from and it seems like his cars are all in great condition. We will definitely consider purchasing from James when we're finally ready to purchase our next vehicle.

I had a fantastic experience working with Axiom Auto Group and have been recommending them to all my friends. James is a pleasure to work with, is not pushy, and is completely honest and transparent. His prices are fantastic, his cars look brand new. The bulk of their inventory appears to be luxury sedans and coupes (Infiniti, BMW, Audi, Acura, Lexus, Mercedes, etc.) that are 1-3 years old with 15K-35K miles. James takes care of all the paperwork, is very professional, and responds to questions about his vehicles almost instantaneously. I must say the entire buying process was hassle free and I will definitely be checking with James before buying my next car.

If you are looking for a pre-owned car, James @ Axiom is the guy to go to. Car dealers have pretty bad reputation in general. Most of them will say anything to you to get you to buy the car. James was honest, up front about the car, and was not pushy at all.

We looked at one of his CLK500 first, but decided that car wasn't for us. He accepted that decision without saying a word. We ended up buying another car from him within the week. He usually has some of the better deals around. His cars are clean, detailed, and parked inside a warehouse. When you look at them you'd think they are new.

He'll also spend the time with you to do things right. We are buying the car to take out of state, and the paperwork is none-trivial. He helped us to do research ahead of time and made the whole process a breeze.

Car dealers are very aggressive these days, even more so than before. Once they have your contact info they try to get you into their showroom even though they either don't have the car you want or their advertising is intentionally misleading. James was a pleasant surprise, I didn't feel like I needed a shower after talking with him or test-driving. He doesn't try to dazzle you with car-babble and lets the quality of the cars in his indoor showroom speak for themselves.

Polite, considerate and never pushy, I am the proud owner of one of his cars. He's so thorough I even got my new plates in about 3wks along with a refund cheque because the licencing was cheaper than calculated. This is definitely a good small business that I hope will survive this downturn.

I purchased my car from James, and it was really smooth and nice. He was totally different from normal dealers - well knowledged, never hurry, polite, and always listen. That was my first purchase of car after I came to US so I didn't know what should do at all. But he gave me thorough explanations and instructions about everything from purchase to register so I had no problem at all.
After several months passed from the purchase, I found a small problem on my car a few days ago. My car had anti-theft wheel locks but I don't have a key so I couldn't rotate tires. I sent an email to him about this issue, then he replied immediately with a polite apology, and took care of everything smoothly - without any cost. Wow.
Actually I was surprised by the quality of cars he has in his inventory, his attitude to customers throughout the purchase, and surprised more by the way how he handles the problem even several months after the purchase.
If you want to buy a car, please try him. I believe you will feel the same.

Planning to buy a used luxury sedan, this is the place to check. I bought a 2006 BMW. I got it below the Kbb price and it was fully loaded. I did not haggle for the price, we agreed on the price within 5 minutes of our conversation. Worth to checkout this place for a good deal.
