Best

I bought a Dodge truck when they were the dealer. My wife just bought a Kia Optima from them. Everything about the purchase went great. No hidden shell games and back and forth...

Worst

I'm female, widowed. They really took advantage of me, low trade in on a van with 24,000 miles, switched the car I wanted, finance guy said I had 48 hours to return the car but ke...

Cheats 1/17/2012

They publish service coupons that seem too good to be true...they are!!! They performed work on my vehicle that was not discussed nor authorized. They then lied to my face when I called them on it. I will never go here again. more

They publish service coupons that seem too good to be true...they are!! They performed service work that was not discussed nor authorized by me. They then lied to my face when I called them on it. I've had mechanics lie & overcharge, but I've never had any just take it upon themselves to do service that was never discussed. I won't be going there ever again. Pros: null Cons: null more

Kia optima. I love it. 12/18/2011

I bought a Dodge truck when they were the dealer. My wife just bought a Kia Optima from them. Everything about the purchase went great. No hidden shell games and back and forth about price. Salesperson James explained how that new radio works. All hooked up to our bluetooth phones now. \r Eric in service dept. has always been fair and helpfull. 5 stars! more

I have had nothing but good luck at motherlode motors. I have purchased 4 cars from them in the last 3 years. I never felt pressured. And the service department is first class. Everybody in the service and parts department are friendly and courteous And very helpful. I recommend mother lode motors to everybody. more

Great Service Department 12/5/2011

Eric is always so helpfull when I bring my Jeep Liberty in for service. I have needed some air conditioning repairs, and my window regulators needed fixing. They got the parts the next day and had the job done when they told me it would be done. \r I recomend this shop for all repairs. My husband got a great deal on a set of tires from Eric last year. more

Creepy & Dirty 10/27/2010

I'm a single mom. I needed a new car to fit my growing kids. When I went to the lot a creepy kid/salesman nearly jumped on me while I was getting out of my car. And it only got worse. While I was trying to look at the car I was interested he was trying to look down my shirt. Seriously?!! What happened to professionalism? When I went inside to try to negotiate a deal on the car apparently they saw nothing but a target with dollar signs all over it. I felt like I was being raped and robbed. Then I actually heard the slimy salesman making comments about me to his buddies. Needless to say, I didn't buy a car there and I will NEVER return. more

NEVER GO TO MOTHERLODEE MOTORS!!! 10/27/2010

I have never had a worse experience at any car dealership in my life! I was interested in a used truck. The first sales man I spoke to (Harley) was extremely helpful, friendly and professional. He showed me the vehicle, test drove with me and didn't try to pressure me into a sale I wasn't ready for. The showroom, however was BLAZING HOT! They wouldn't even turn on the air conditioning! And to be honest, it had the feel of a slimy used car dealership you'd go to in the valley. I didn't purchase the vehicle that day but returned a few weeks later because I was very interested in the truck. To my surprise I found the price on the SAME TRUCK I had looked at earlier increased by $3000!! How is that possible? The previous salesman wasn't there and I was helped by some punk kid who clearly didn't know ANYTHING about ANYTHING - especially cars. \r \r I finally spoke to the owner - disgusted by this point. Standing there in his oh-so-slimy car salesman 1980's polyester pants telling me t more

Will NEVER Return 9/2/2010

I was going to purchase a car I was very interested in, but when I went out to look at it, I was approached by a SCARY looking guy who smelled like an ashtray and looked like a gangster! He gave me the creeps. I then parked my car, and went inside to use the restroom and talk to the guys further. He did show me where the bathroom was, and was helfpul in that regard.\r Upon exiting the bathroom, he was waiting for me! He proceeded in talking to me more, when I just wanted to get away from the creep. It was boiling hot inside the building, and I'd think if they actually wanted to keep people inside, they could at least turn on some air.\r Overall, I was completely creeped out and dis-satisfied! Although I really wanted the car, I'll find one somewhere else. more

5 star service! 5/6/2010

Good price on the oil change. Eric explained what was needed for my next service. Good customer service. Looks like I'll be needing tires soon. I am going to get them from Mother Lode Motors. Great job. more

Mother Lode Motors is a great place to buy a car!! 9/9/2009

One of the best experiences in car buying I have ever experienced. I bought a used SUV. It was in great shape. It had brand new tires, and they even gave me a 3mo. 3000 mile warranty. The sales person who helped me was kind and not pushy. 2 thumbs up! more

Mother Lode Motors is a Rip Off !!!! 9/4/2009

Motherlode sold me a Used car with a "21 point safety Inspection", and 3 mo. warranty. They failed to tell me that it was still under the factory powertrain, and charged me for repairs to the car that should have been fixed under warranty. The car was not even checked out before it was sold, it was almost out of oil 2 days after I bought it and the battery was so corroded that it burnt up the electrical a few months after I bought it. I told the sales person that I knew nothing about cars and asked over and over if it was checked out thoughouly before the sale, of course I was told yes. Well MML lost their Chrylser franchise and failed to tell me that too when I took it to them to repair after my tranny went out. Lucky for me I called Chysler Corporate and they told me to get the car out of there and take it to Chase. Chase found defective parts and they fixed it under the warranty for free while Motherlode quoted me $3800. These guys will scam you whichever way they can from the sale more

ANTI CUSTOMER SERVICE 7/2/2008

The service department is not courteous and helpful. They definely do not go the extra mile to make sure that you will refer them or come back. If you buy a car from a different dealership they will not honor any of the other dodge dealer's agreements. On one occasion I brought my dodge to motherlode moters because my drivers side door wouldn't open. Well the service guy accused me of slim jimming my door. I told him I didn't and he preceded to badger me. I left and took my dodge to fireside dodge and they did not accuse me and found out it was a mechanical defect in the door - they covered it and it was fixed. today i went to motherlode motors to help with the U-Connect in my vehical and they said it was technical and they would have to charge. i left again and another dodge dealship helped me pair my phone to the u-connect. the u-connect is a devised that came with my dodge installed by dodge - I can't believe that motherlode couldn't even help me pair my phone with their equipment. i just bought my car 3 months and this is the service that motherlode motors provides- so again buyer beware these guys don't help after you purchase a dodge product their just out to obtain more revenue. I do refer Fireside Dodge in Modesto and Curt Hudge Dodge- they are kind and courteous and honor other dodge agreements. Pros: IN SONORA Cons: CUSTOMER SERVICE more

used cars always have problems 4/24/2008

Within the past year I visited mother lode motors looking at used cars. Every single car has had something wrong with it. They usually say they will fix the car if we buy it or pretend like it's no big deal and we are the one's with the problem. I would suggest never buy a used car from mother lode motors. THey also try to use high pressure sales tactics. more
