Buying a car can be less fun than a root canal! Jonathan and Akash went above and beyond to ensure we had a first class buying experience. They definitely earned all of their five star reviews with their high end boutique luxury vibe. They provided all information necessary in advance to be completely transparent (even accommodated us to get an additional Buyer's inspection which confirmed their shop knows what they are doing with foreign cars), and we highly recommend them! Thank you for the pleasurable purchase and my beautiful car.

These guys are the best in the business. They are not typical car salesmen, they are passionate car guys who just happen to sell cars. Jon and Akash know their stuff and only put the best out on that showroom floor. No pressuring into buying, incredibly transparent. I talked to Jon for 30 minutes and I had to break the ice about possibly purchasing a vehicle. I had a small technical problem with my vehicle days after bringing it home and Akash helped me out with the cost of repair without me even asking. I think he was more frustrated about it than I was. Unlike any car buying experience I've ever had. 10/10 would recommend.

What an awesome company. Akash is one of the greatest car dealers I have ever dealt with. I searched 2 1/2 years to find the perfect car. After trying to deal with companies that claimed their cars were in excellent condition, upon inspection the cars were not as advertised. I found the perfect car at Arizona Elite Motors: a 2008 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. I wish that I could give this review 10 stars because they deserve it. Highly recommend doing business with Akash and his team.
