B K motors is the best!  We went by last weekend to see one of the cars, and the quality of Bob's service is by far the greatest around the bay area.  He makes you feel home.  He is not the typical sales man who wants to rush you on to the buying process. Bob is super friendly, sincere, and takes pride on his work, and that is what makes him be the best at what he does. He got us the best deal on one of his consignment cars, and the best interest rate available.  We are so thankful to Bob and his Father for helping us get the car we now enjoy. Of all of the dealers we visited, B K Motors is number one. We will definitely come back (Shop kitties' are the best, trey make the place feel like home)  We recommend B K motors to anyone who likes quality, sincereness, and great service. Thanks Bob for our 911!!

Bob Kay, owner of BK Motors, is the antithesis of the stereotype of a used car salesman. My husband and I bought a 1989 Subaru Outback with 120,000 miles on it from him.  We were well aware we were getting an older car and Bob clearly explained that he couldn’t offer any kind of warranty on a car of that age.  We got such a good price we decided the risk was worth it.  I gave him my big gas guzzling 4WD F350  that I no longer needed to sell on consignment.

We had the Subaru for only a week when the engine blew.  I told Bob that I was well aware that he was not responsible for anything that might happen after I drove the car off the lot.  He was having nothing of it.  He took the car to his mechanic and had a rebuilt engine put in totally at his expense.  He returned to us, at no cost to us, a car that was worth more than we had paid.  He could have done nothing.  He could have suggested we split the cost because, after all we were getting a “new” engine.  Instead he stood behind his product because, as he put it, integrity is far more valuable than money.

This the guy you want to buy a used car from.

P.S.  He found a buyer for my truck, did some cosmetic repairs she requested and netted me exactly what I was hoping for.

Bob gave me advice on a problem I had a couple of month's ago. Although we couldn't do business, I was able to resolve my problem from his advice. Because of his professionalism and the fact he is a car guy, I went back to get my car detailed at his shop. I am in a related business to the car industry and have been an enthusiast for a half century. BK's Detail shop did an incredible job on my A6 Audi. From the finish, to fixing small scratches and dents to detailing the inside including the glove box, it was outstanding. Thanks for the excellent work.

I was fortunate enough to be recommended to BK Motors to help sell my car.  BK Motors is a consignment car dealership who can help you to sell your car.

Having come from out of state, I was concerned about the level of paperwork and time it would take to sell. No problem, Bob Kay, the owner, looked after everything in a very professional, friendly and transparent manner. We agreed a price and likely timeframe and sure enough he made it happen.

His small business gives a very personal service above and beyond any other car dealers I have met. To add to this, I was overseas at the time my car was sold and Bob paid a check straight into my account, no hassle. I would certainly recommend buying or selling another car with Bob, he made it such a pleasant experience and deserves your business. Thanks Bob.

I have sold three cars through BK Motors.  Bob Kay is very professional and did everything he said he would do. All three cars sold in the time frame he predicted.  He helped me set a reasonable price and took care of all of the DMV paper work.  It was great not to have to set up appointments or worry about all the legal issues.  He also helped set a reasonable price, which prevented a lot of negotiating.  I would definitely use him again to sell a car or buy a used car.

Oh my, it is gorgeous!  Thank you so much for giving me a new car again!  I want to put an ad in the window saying where I got it done!

How about a sign that says. . ."Look at me shine!  I was just detailed at BK Motors!"!!!!

We were delighted with the detail job on our Saab.  We appreciate your willingness to fit us into your Saturday schedule and the price break for having a convertible.  It was a pleasure doing business with you!

As I was driving to Fearless Fitness last night, I realized my little Nissan Maxima is just 7,000 miles away from hitting the 200,000 mile mark.  I am so proud of it!  It still runs like a champ and if I continue to take good care of it, it should last for several more years, if not more. 

I just read my original post when I purchased the car in October 2006: We Bought a Car!  I was very pregnant with Dante at the time and was happy the experience was so pleasant.  Paul and I had been dreading buying a new car as we had several not-so-fun car buying experiences prior to that. 

We ended up paying $7,784.51 in cash for the car. I remember thinking that if I could get the car to last five years; I would end up paying just $129.74 per month for it.  At this point, I have paid $169.23 per month and am thrilled with my investment.

If you happen to live in Northern California and are in need of a car, I highly recommend visiting Bob at BK Motors in Half Moon Bay!  Tell him I sent you!

I will start by saying that I DO NOT BUY NEW CARS! Also, I am very leery of small, "FLY BY NIGHT" car lots. I work on the coast and drive by BK Motors several times a day. So, when a friend told me he bought a car at BK Motors and how happy he was I was somewhat surprised. Then I started to pay more attention to the cars for sale at BK, because I too was in need of a new one.

Then it happened, my car gave out and I gave in. I pulled in to take a look and I left in a 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. WOW!!!!! Bob Kay was, without a doubt, ANYTHING but a "CAR SALESMAN" and his dealership is ANYTHING but "FLY BY NIGHT!" Bob is very personable and easy to talk to. The car sold itself, as Bob is very selective of what he takes in to sell. I feel I got a great car at a great price.

Squeaky clean does not begin to describe the amazing detail work done by Jose! He is a credit to his profession! Would I buy from BK Motors again?? ABSOLUTELY!! Thanks again Bob for the service you provide!

Bob Kay is the antithesis of a used car salesman.  He is warm, personable world traveler, has been in the business for 28 years, and provides a real service to the Coastside with his unique business.  He takes cars on consignment for owners and has developed a reputation for top quality used cars.  We know many people who have had great experiences selling and buying cars there.  I was ready to buy a brand new fairly expensive intermediate car when my wife suggested that we visit B. K. Motors.  I needed a second car for occasional use, and he had the perfect older car for $2,995!  It is in fabulous shape, and he made the whole experience painless.  I even got my six year old Toyota Sienna van detailed and they took every dent and scratch out, and made the paint, leather, carpeting and everything look positively brand new!  It was beyond detailing and probably raised the value of the formerly tired looking "dog car" by several thousand dollars--you simply can't believe the results!

I purchased a "new" used car from BK Motors last month and I couldn't be happier - both with the car (I've always wanted a convertible) and with the service. Bob (the owner) was very friendly and professional and took care of all the financing and paperwork there at the dealership. He was so nice and didn't pressure me at all - he's the first car dealer that I wasn't intimidated by. Most of them are like sharks at feeding time! Anyway, if you need a car and don't want to hassle, check out BKMotors. Maybe you'll be as pleasantly surprised as I was.

Bought my car from Bob Kay at BK Motors last week.  Was probably the easiest car transaction I made in the last 20 years.  He know his stuff and doesn't try to sell you something he doesn't think you want.  I came back three times to check out this one car and he was pleasant and professional each time.  He gets a lot of different inventory in all the time, so I'd recommend checking his place out if you're in the HMBay area and are looking for some wheels.

I have purchased and sold my car with BK Motors. Bob Kay, the owner, is such a nice guy. I know that's shocking as he is a car salesman, but it's true.

BK Motors is a consignment car dealership. You can get your car detailed and bring it in or they can do it for you. The average price is about 200 bucks and includes a full detail, paint touch ups, popping out dents, etc. His consignment fee is ridiculously reasonable as he does everything for you. Everything. If you have a car loan, he takes care of paying it off. If your car is from out of state (which mine was), he takes care of all the paperwork (and you would be surprised by the paperwork required to sell a car).

Bob Kay is a small business owner who lives in the bay area. He is honest and straightforward (which is why he gets so many repeat customers). If you need someone to deal with selling your car and all the extra time and details that go with it, I highly recommend him. In addition, he has some great deals on cars and the prices seem to be really fair.

My 1996 Jeep was a mess: I hadn't had the interior detailed in almost 2 years. Between a major move, daily life with 2 active beach going dogs, and a raccoon incident where the critter broke into my car, opened up a bottle of cooking oil and spilled it all over the passenger side carpet, it should have been declared a bio hazard zone. I took it to BK and told Bob to do what he could, not having high expectations but figuring anything they could do would be better than its present state.

To my utter shock and joy my car was returned almost like new! Dog hair and sand was gone, everything sparkled, and even the oil stain was almost undetectable. The detailer EVEN put my front license plate back on and remounted the lid to the storage compartment. All this for under $150.

If only everyone had this kind of work ethic, the world would be such a better place! I highly recommend.

Thank you so very much for the excellent work I received on my VW Beetle car recently.  It was so clean and even minus a dent that it had.  I felt that Jose went the extra mile, so to speak, and took the time to care for every inch of my car and it shows!  I will be back again!

Just bought a Mercedes from Bob Kay.  Great guy who helped me buy this car instead of wanting to make a sale. Thorough follow up on the questions that I had about the car. Next car? BK Motors.

When I left the VW showroom with this car brand new in March of 2002, the car was not as clean nor as sparkly as it was today after B.K. Detailing. Your wizard, Jose, did an amazing job on it. Thanks so much for the great work and the fast turnaround. I was able to leave the car in the morning, complete all my errands and meetings in HMB and still get back to Pacifica by mid-afternoon. That's a big convenience. And...I am still smiling about how beautiful my car looks. I will refer a lot of my friends to you in the future knowing they will be pleased, as well.

Thanks.

I took a good look at the car yesterday and I'm extremely pleased, in fact, I told everyone I came into contact with and told them who had done it and that you have different degrees of cleaning.  I was also able to show a few people what a great job you did.

You're a very good salesman and follow-up guy, thanks so much and yes I will be back.

OH MY GOSH!!!!

It (the car) is so beautiful--I have already stopped every person I see to tell them what an amazing job it is.  The gentleman that did the cleaning outdid himself.  I like to just rub my hand over the outside of the car because it feels like silk.  And I had no expectation he would be able to get the stains out of the carpet and on the seats but they look brand new.

Now I am afraid to get in it and wish I didn't have to let the dog in.  I have family arriving on Sunday and they will think I keep it like that all the time.

Thank you and believe me I will pass the word.

Bill Cook was the brave soul who wanted to be our FIRST detail customer and, as you can see, he left with a smile on his face (which, we hear, was on his face for most of the day)!

Many of you locals may know Bill, a local ReMax agent, Rotarian and all-around great guy.

Thanks, Bill, for letting us post your photo and also for your business.  It's very much appreciated!
