I’ve purchased 4 vehicles from Desert European Motorcars over the last 2 years, my mother in law has even purchased 3 vehicles from them over years. We have always received exceptional service from Phillipe over the last 2 years, my mother in law has even purchased 3 vehicles from them over years. We have always received exceptional service from Phillipe Trussell in sales, with a no hassle approach and makes the process enjoyable and exciting as anything at this level should be. I wish I could say that about most dealers but it’s just not true. Highly recommend to anyone in the market for a luxury car. They put the clients needs first and find solutions to problems. Phillipe will always be my first call when in the market for my next exotic. And I have to say, they always have the best designed inventory in stock that amazes me every time I call him to custom order something saving me the wait time! More

After being towed to this dealership to learn what was wrong with our Bentayga, their whole service team jumped forward to help 2 customers in distress. Working with them as they diagnosed the vehicle is wrong with our Bentayga, their whole service team jumped forward to help 2 customers in distress. Working with them as they diagnosed the vehicle issues, we wandered into the sales arena…and they showed us several other Bentaygas in case we wanted to consider a new purchase. No pressure…and they had the exact color I love on the floor. So we chose to adopt the new Bentayga, and the sales team jumped into action to make it happen quickly. They even transferred all our luggage from a 2 month trip into the new car while we completed paperwork. I cannot save enough nice things about this whole team of experts that coordinated their every move to satisfy us. They turned a catastrophic situation into a wonderful memory and we are 1000% satisfied. More

He was always there when I texted him, and any issue which came up was resolved immediately. He went out of his way to accommodate my request to get the shipping earlier. The whole process was completed, and the car delivered in 5 days. This was a Ferrari. I would also like to commend the delivery guy, definitely white glove, great attitude, he sat in Friday traffic between the Bay Area and Sacramen to for hours. I don't know the company name, maybe Phillipe can add it to his review of the shipper... More
