I worked with Matt Rowe, and between the general friendliness of all the staff i met, and the efficiency of the process, this was an incredible experience. All the vehicles i saw were meticulously taken care of, and in great condition. They were extremely fair for the trade value, and didn’t try to lowball me in the slightest. When working on the purchase of my new vehicle, Matt was very communicative and kept me informed every step of the way. The car i bought was priced fairly and there werent any exorbitant fees or markups at all. Overall i couldn’t be more happy with my experience and i genuinely cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you to Matt at Valley Auto Sales!
Just bought a 2013 G37x from these guys, the team they have is wonderful! Eric, Matt, Alex, and Baley are such a great team and will do nothing but help you when buying a car. They made sure everything was perfect with the car before I bought it and they handled the buying process quickly and efficiently. They were so nice to me and my family and were very welcoming when I came in to look at the car. I would highly recommend this place for any car purchases and performance needs!
I am retired and a car guy. Not a lot of discretionary income these days. I DO have a nicely restored 1999 Firehawk that I was willing to part with and had hopes that a dealer would do a straight up trade for some sort of "performance" truck.. i.e. 2nd gen Ford lightning. This would save me the sales tax (close to $2k) if I sold the Firehawk then ended up buying a truck with the proceeds. A little background story: I heard about a high end car dealer in MA and reached out to them hoping they could help me find a way to do a trade. The owner introduced me to his Sales manager, who also owned a 2nd gen lightning. I showed him my Firehawk and he thought it was nice with only 32k miles on the clock. He said, and I quote: "I'll find one for you.." I sent him tons of photo's, vids, pics and details about my Firehawk and waited patiently for a response. A month passes.. nothing, so I text him inquiring if he received my email and all the documentation.. His response? "Yes, got it. Not really worth it for us.. just not enough money in it..." To say I was bummed was an understatement... Since lightnings are getting very pricey for unmodified, low mileage examples, I decided to go to the next generation of Ford High Performance trucks: Raptor. Lo and behold, the team at Valley Auto Sales and Performance had one. Stock, unmodified and well maintained. Some repairs were needed but as is, the value of this Raptor was about what my Firehawk was worth. So I reached out to Matt Rowe, their sales rep. He was so patient and listened to my story about what I was trying to do with a trade. He is clearly a car guy and even though he didn't know much about 4th gen GM F-bodies, he was willing to learn. During our conversation, we face timed and I showed him the Firehawk and he showed me the Raptor. It seemed like this might be a trade made in heaven! So Matt reached out to co-owner Eric Cappella and filled him in on my proposal. Eric was honest and let me know he really didn't know much about the F-bodies either, so he asked for some time to do a deep dive into the breed. He learned enough to become interested in the deal and asked me to bring the Firehawk to their facility where we could inspect both vehicles. It went quite well with Eric smiling when I gassed the Firehawk for a quick rolling start to 60. Another true car guy! The Raptor was structurally sound, engine was strong and transmission shifted quickly and firmly... everything else is small potatoes to me as I am a DIY'er with plenty of tools and a lift. I had forwarded all of the info that I had accumulated to Eric so he could do some more research. After a couple of weeks, he reached out to me and said he was good with the deal. I couldn't be happier! These guys didn't start this business to get rich quick with big profits from each car sale. They are truly car guys and enjoy helping car buyers find and get into the car they aspire to owning. Eric could have easily said "No, there's no money in this deal for us" and sent me packing like the other dealer but he saw how much TLC I put into the Firehawk and my plans to rehab the Raptor with help from my Son in law and grandson, and realized he probably won't make a lot of money on this trade but he will make a gray beard retiree very happy. He may get some repeat business from a very happy and satisfied customer and perhaps a good review as well. If nothing else, he made a new carguy friend. Well, it may be a while before I can buy another car from this great bunch of car guys, but I can at least give them a shining review and strongly recommend stopping by and meeting the VASAP team. You can be sure they will do their best to help you find the car you are looking for. A++ Highly Recommended. Drop in, say Hi and tell 'em Gus sent you. :) In the picture I attached, from right to left standing in front of the Firehawk: Alex Malucci - Co-owner Matt Rowe - Sales Eric Cappella - Co-owner Baley Levine - Tech/Mechanic I also a attached a couple of pics of my new to me Raptor in my home garage. :)
I can’t speak highly enough about the gentlemen who run Valley Auto Sales and Performance (E&M Auto Brokers). If only the large car dealerships had the same level of professionalism, responsiveness, knowledge, and care for their customers, the world would be a better place. What impressed me most is how incredibly important it is to them that the car they sell you is in perfect condition before you drive it home. In my case, they acquired a classic Porsche 911, and before they listed it had already put a considerable amount of money into reconditioning and inspection (new brakes, tires, alignment, bore scoping, oil analysis etc). We then agreed on a fair price. And after the price was locked in they unprompted decided to do additional maintenance out of their own pocket to be extra certain that the car was flawless before I drove it off the lot. You can trust these guys. I’ll absolutely be a repeat customer.
Just bought a Cayenne GTS from here. Was the best purchasing experience I’ve ever had. Eric, Matt and the entire crew there were very accommodating and informative. It was a very refreshing experience for me. I didn’t have the feel of a typical sales person trying to push a sale, but more of a conversation amongst car enthusiasts. Eric was extremely fair in valuing my trade in as well. I would highly recommend going to Valley Auto Sales for your next purchase.
