"Inside car guys has been great from day one. With frequent texts, phone calls, Johnny and Marcus were diligent in finding me a satisfactory deal on the car and color I wanted. Everything was transparent, professional, and it became very clear that the customers interests and concerns were a top priority, The new Toyota Rav4 was conveniently delivered and every step throughout the process was as courteous and professional as anyone can ask. I recommend this broker to anyone trying to find the right vehicle at the right price. THANK YOU INSIDE CAR GUYS ! ! !"

"I can't say enough about Marcus, he is very professional and knowledgeable.
This was my experience with Marcus:
Day one: I called Marcus, had a conversation with him for about 10 minutes regarding the car I wanted and the pricing I was looking for.
In less than an hour I heard back from him, he had found exactly what I wanted and he was trying to negotiate a lower price. An hour or so later he called back again telling me the deal I had obtained. I was really impressed.
Day two: I sent my information to Marcus in the morning; in the afternoon I already had my brand new car at a better price than what I had encountered at dealerships, and lower than what some of the people I know had paid for it. Got the paperwork ready and that was it.
Best thing about his service: No headaches, no dealing with salespeople, and an amazing price.
I will be contacting him soon again, one of my relatives is looking to buy a car as well.
This is your guy. I even created a yelp account in order to be able to post a review about his business.
Oh yeah, given the amount of phony "businesses" that are present on the internet, I was a little bit hesitant to trust him at first. If you feel like I did, do your research and you will see he is legit.
Hope this helps."

"Buying a car is stressful and complicated. Lots of fine print and misleading quotes online and no straight answers from the dealerships salespeople, I think their main job is to just get you to come in so they can team up on you and force a sale. I am so glad I found inside car guys the auto broker. They sent me real numbers with all the fine print translated so I can see exactly what I am paying and after deciphering the misleading lease deals and so called new car specials I found that all of the quotes were better from 1000 to 5000 per car. Thanks inside car guys and as for auto brokers go Marcus was the fastest and most attentive and transparent. I didn't tell him I had contacted 5 others and they were all slow and higher priced than ICG."

"Wow! Enough can not be said about how easy it was to work with Marcus. I was given a true challenge of a gem of a car. A 2012 Ford Fiesta with over 100,000 miles. I had no idea how to sell it but knew I wanted to get a fair price and sell it privately. I had it priced at Car Max, and they weren't going to give me anywhere near Blue Book. Then I found Marcus. He took the car from me, we had a written contract in place, and guaranteed to get me the fair price I was looking for. Anything above, was going to be his, so great motivation to get as much for it as possible. Marcus did everything. Posted it online, spread the word, spent countless hours meeting with unfortunately people that would back out, but he stuck with it and in almost no time, we had a solid deal! I was completely amazed! I got my check right away and was more than happy to send him his share right afterward. What kind of guy is so amazing to get you all the money up front and to do all the work? I was so impressed with Marcus and can tell whether buying or selling, he is just dedicated! And will get you a perfect and FAIR deal."

"Thank you so much Marcus and Sasoon they dealt with the whole process all I had to do is wait and they got me a way better price than what I expected give them a call if you're looking for a new car save yourself the stress of dealing with dealers and car salesmen."

"Marcus and Johnny were great to deal with. They kept in constant communication with me the whole time. I was in contact w/ two other brokers and one just stopped replying to my texts and completely ghosted me and the other I guess didn't have the clout Marcus has and wasn't able to get me a deal with anyone. I had another car that was upside down and they managed to get me a pretty good deal on our Range Rover with manageable payments. Marcus also got me hooked up with a black out package for the Range and it's gonna look sweet once it's done. Anyway I'd recommend Marcus and his guys to anyone who doesn't like to deal with car salesmen or are just too lazy to shop for a car. They will deliver the car you want to your doorstep!"

"Here's the reality of things:
Car buying and leasing feels like walking into a room with a bunch of dirty hyenas that don't give a s**t about what your needs really are, as long as they get maximize the profit they receive off of you. Purposeful "errors" on your contract, too good to be true promises to get you into the door, heck...one quote this time around while I was shopping someone even tried including a trade in credit for my lease (I don't own this car, idiot...) and a military discount despite knowing ZERO about me. They really think you're stupid.
Did you ever try something that you you might have doubted but felt like you are just so done that anything is better than what is currently happening? This was me when I first discovered auto brokering, more specifically, The Inside Car Guys. I expected no better. I expected someone that would not only make me pay for a service but also try to take advantage of me.
Let me tell you, if the phrase goes "diamond in the rough", Marcus was a whole diamond mine. I'll get to prices in a minute. Prices at this point were close to seeming secondary if I could just find someone who was upfront with me and genuine. I just wanted someone I could trust in the car leasing process who was in my corner. Marcus, with his 15+ years of experience selling and now brokering takes you through the whole process from start to finish to find your ideal drive and also lets you know you are the one being represented, not these car dealerships. He told me the ins and outs of how the dealers get you, gave me an opportunity to get to really know him, and every chance he could fought for my best deals.
Marcus personally wasn't going to make much money off of my deal if any. I'm just out of college. I have bills hemorrhaging me anytime I get a bit ahead. I was looking at honda civics. Being up in Hollywood he deals with high profile clients as well as people like myself so me as a demographic isn't what is necessarily profitable for him. It's very clear though that money isn't what motivates him and he just wants to help. Marcus really leveled with me trying to find progress in my life and not only did he beat every dealer by like 60 bucks a month initially, but he kept following up when he saw better deals. I even asked him if I could pay him in installments because of how much a down payment would affect my financial situation and he was fine with that. He took my payment from around 250 on an lx to 230 on an ex and 195 on an lx all with me requesting 15k miles per year and 1500 down plus 500 for a college incentive. My last two leases I have been at 203 and I was extremely worried my payments would go up based on money factors and the current market, but he beat those prices which every other dealer could not. He's truly disrupting the market. I got an email back from a dealer saying something along the lines of "We are doubling down on our offer, my manager won't do that" when I took his price just to double check at another dealer.
Again though, I really want to focus on the experience side of my time with The Inside Car Guys. There just doesn't seem to be anyone else out there like this. Marcus not only makes you feel like after you are done, you guys can go out and have a beer, but he also has bigger causes behind what he does. Through philanthropy, he helps out children in adversity. After our long conversation of just getting to know each other, he told me that he is building shelters for homeless college students and group homes for at risk youth. I feel like this comes from a very deep place in his past and as a result, the way he does business is very empathetic.
It doesn't need to be said, but I will say it. If you are at a point where you are frustrated with the offers you are getting, there's a better way here. Try the insider car guys. They personally guarantee the lowest deal, so if someone beats their, you can go back and they will do their best to match or beat your offer. I hope that this review reaches the people it needs to.
Once again, thank you Marcus and The Inside Car Guys. You really saved my sanity and wallets life!"

"This is my first review ever and the only reason I am doing one is because I am very grateful for the excellent deal Marcus from insidecarguys.com found us on a 2017 Toyota Corolla for our daughter. I was skeptical they would do a good job since my husband did everything over the phone. Once my husband and I decided what we wanted Marcus and his team started doing their magic and in a day they delivered my daughters first new car to our house. After being stuck in traffic for about 2+ hrs Marcus and his assistant LaTasha still had an outstanding attitude. He dealt with all the contract negotiations based on our requirement and exceeded our expectations, I was overwhelm and had to keep it together. My overall experience I would say was out of this world, I would definitely recommend using insidecarguys.com they have showed me a the new era in purchasing/leasing a car."

"Prior to contacting the Inside Car Guys, i did not know that auto brokers even existed. The service Marcus provided me was phenomenal! He was friendly, responsive and completely on it . Told him exactly what I was looking for and within 2 days, he had my car delivered to me! He even took the time to make the moment special by placing a nice red bow (loved that!!) and "teaching" me the ins and outs of the car! Extremely knowledgeable guy!! And i loved how I didn't have to deal with pushy car salesman or wait at the dealership to get all the paperwork situated (as a mom of 3 small kids, I have NO time for that). As I said, Marcus basically took care of everything over the phone with me and all I had to do was once he delivered the car, was spend 15 minutes signing paperwork that we already discussed!
More importantly, he was honest and helped me sort out the best options for not only buying my car, but also dealing with the car that I wanted to trade in.
I would definitely recommend Marcus!"

"I worked with Marcus to get a used SUV back in August. He was fantastic to work with and found me an amazing deal on a new SUV instead.
The whole process was super easy and not anything at all like working with a dealership. I told him what I wanted and how much I wanted to pay and he did the rest!
The car was delivered to my house and I signed all the paperwork at my kitchen table!
Thanks Marcus!"

I told Marcus the car I wanted, gave him my color preferences, and within 24 hours he had options for me and the best price and leasing deal available by a long shot. He is super responsive, flexible, easy to talk to and work with, and 100% professional. I recommend Marcus and Inside Car Guys as highly as I could recommend anything."

"Marcus found me a great deal on a car lease despite this insane inventory shortage going on. I work long hours and weekends often, so I was very grateful to have someone finding me the best deal while I'm busy. I wasn't expecting how laid back it all was--mostly communicated via text but Marcus came through! I had to put down a deposit to reserve my car while it was being shipped to the dealership. The delivery times didn't align with my work schedule but I was able to head to the dealership myself on a weekend to pick it up. Signed on the dotted line and was out of there in 10 minutes! Very grateful!"

"A few weeks ago, I contacted Inside Car Guys not knowing what to expect. I was in the market for a particular collectable Porsche and did not believe they could locate one in great condition at a fair price. Being still reluctant, I decided to take the plunge and signed up for their service. Within days, Marcus and Johnny not only found a vehicle in great condition, but gave me a lead on a great financing company with very low APR. They stood by their promise and were very patient with me. I highly recommend Inside Car Guys if you want to save the hassle of researching vehicles and locating the car of your dreams. They also treated me like I was part of their family and I think of them as my friends. Hats off to Inside Car Guys, the best car locater in the USA."

"I worked with Marcus at Inside Car Guys to purchase a 2020 Rav4 Hybrid this year. He was able to get a great price on the hybrid, which was in huge demand in So. California. The car was delivered to my home as well as all the paperwork. The credit application was online and easy to get done. Overall, I was able to save 20+ hours of negotiating, sitting in a dealership, and driving from one dealership to another, trying to get the best price. I'd highly recommend working with Inside Car Guys if you value your time and want to save money."

"This was a fast, simple, and easy experience! I put my truck on "consignment" with Marcus Martin on Friday. It was a small leap of faith, leaving my vehicle with a guy I had only met a few days earlier; however, I felt I could trust him. Marcus sold my truck within two days for the price that I wanted and the transaction and paperwork went smoothly. Marcus seems very knowledgable and experienced with everything in the auto sales environment and is also assisting me with my next vehicle purchase. I will recommend him to friends and colleagues. If you don't want the hassle and time constraints of a private party sale of your used vehicle, Marcus will get it done for you."
