I had a great experience working with Bernard. He was such a kind gentleman.  I’m excited about my new truck. I thought the price was very fair

Everyone at Bright Star Motors was incredibly kind and helpful. I had just been in an accident and didn’t know exactly what I wanted. The owner was really patient and honest about the vehicles. He went over all the pros and cons of each car I looked at so I could make a decision that worked for me. I love my Audi Q7. I will recommend Bright Star to my friends and family for sure!

I came in with a pretty low budget and they were able to help me incredibly. They were very kind and very helpful people. They made sure to be very honest with me, which I find is important when going to a any car lot, and they made sure I was able to leave comfortably within my budget and in an extremely reliable vehicle. Definitely will be recommending this place to others:) thank you so much!

My mom purchased a BMW x5 in May with 60k miles , it had some small imperfections that we were willing to fix on our own , broken Parking Brake Button , small imperfections in the paint and body, but within a couple of days of her owning it , it was leaking oil and coolant everywhere. I called the dealer back and they said they could repair everything but it would cost a lot of money, the person said that I could get wholesale pricing through them for using the same shop they use but at this point , we didn’t really trust them as they said the vehicle was inspected by their mechanic before we purchased it.

We’re now 11k into repairs and the car cost about 12k after taxes. My mother has only been able to put about 2-3k miles on the car since May 2025 because of all the issues it’s been having. Shortly after we got the leaks fixed , the car would suddenly die randomly while driving. Keep in mind, the car is dying while my mother is driving around with my younger siblings , my baby sister isn’t even 2 years old yet! She shouldn’t have to be worried about her car breaking down, especially with such young kids! We had it towed to a reliable mechanic and they said that the battery in the car wasn’t even the proper one for the vehicle, burning out the alternator.

Another thing we thought was funny was on Car Gurus the vehicle was listed as a 2011 BMW X5 , but it’s actually a 2007 model.

The people were nice to us when we were there test driving and such , but very disappointed at how dishonest they were about everything.

$23,000 down the drain on this car and all the repairs.

DO NOT SHOP HERE

I recently bought a vehicle from Bright Star Motors and, while the customer service itself was fine, I had concerns about their sales approach. Everything is sold strictly as-is, no warranty, no returns, which they heavily emphasize. Unfortunately, I needed a car quickly and couldn’t wait for a mechanic’s inspection, since they were gone for the day. During the test drive, I heard a noise I thought was brake-related, but later found out it was actually the wheel bearings.

I purchased the car for $6,500 (they did lower the price by around $500–$800). However, once my mechanic inspected it, I learned the repairs would total over $8,000 including wheel bearings, belts, and a long list of other issues. His first question to me was whether I could return the car, but of course, with Bright Star, that wasn’t an option.

I’m leaving this review low because the process feels predatory vehicles are sold as-is with no real safety checks or options if problems show up right after purchase. While the cars may look nice on the lot, I strongly recommend anyone buying from them take the car to a trusted mechanic first and get a full green light before signing anything. Otherwise, what you see is truly what you get.

This review might change if Bright Star reaches out to me to address the issue or helps cover at least one of the repairs noted by my mechanic but based on how things are presented, I’m not optimistic that will happen.
