When I was looking for a car lease, but I just arrived to the states after relocation with my family. Without credit score yet or California drivers license I was started asked people around me for advice.One name keeps came up.... Call Arkady!So I did....After short conversation, I went to meet Arkady.What can I say, Arkady gave the feeling that I can trust him. I had a long conversations with Arkady, and Im glad first of all that I got to know Arkady as a person before we dive in to business.Arkady is the most professional and caring for your interest.Day after our first meeting, I got my new and amazing car!Thank you Arkady, for everything you did for my family.You went above and beyond and around the clock, just to make everything happens.Youre amazing!
I bought 5 cars with Arkady over the years. He is always able to get significantly better deals than the ones I was offered by the car agencies. On the last deal he was able to save me about $5K on a lease deal by negotiating a complex trade-in with the agency - he is truly a master at his trade.
.Arkadi was very kind, true professional. Great experienced, all take care off because its truly personal
Great service and great results, Arkady got us our car much faster than planned with a great deal and no hassle. Highly recommended!
Great experience working with Arcadi. He helped me few times to buy vehicles from the dealership gave me advice like he give to hes own son and I felt like he really cares wether you spend too much money if its not necessary thats why I went with him few times and now Im going again to buy from Arcadi because the deals he got for me were absolutely saving money and also He got me racks for my van for free hes rate is not high for what you get from him from the customer service and saving it was totally worth itHighly recommend Arcadi for all car needs
Big Thanks to Arkady who helped me to get a car lease several weeks after arriving to San Jose. The process was short and simple and saved a lot of time !
Fantastic experience in leasing a car! Fast, professional and very reliable - Arkady is the best, very much recommended!
Great service! Arcady helped to lease a new car. Less than 24 hrs since the application and l got the car. Arcady did all negotions, accomplished all paperwork, insurance, quickly and professionally.
Absolutely the best service, you get best price and incredible time saving
Arkady is AMAZING!!! Helped us buy 2 cars in the last 2 months - spent hours with us in the different agencies, advised us on the best vehicles for our needs, negotiated for us and got us great deals!We recommend everyone to pass by Arkady before purchasing a new car!
Arkady sold me a great car. I gave him the color, make, year, interior color and he had it done the same day for me. It was a pleasure to deal with him. Its great to avoid the sales men and women at dealerships. Thank you so much.
Arkady is simply amazing!!!! This is the third car Ive purchased with him in past 7 years. He is sharp, aggressive (in the good sense!!), knows every car by heart! The deal I got today is the best by far. Low down, negligible monthly payments on the top rated car! His respect on the market by dealers and customers alike is well deserved.Will be coming back for more aggressive and great deals soon!!
Never thought that leasing a car can be such an easy process. Arkady is the best decision you can make when shopping for a car - rare professionalism level! We are pretty new in the US, Arkady explained all the bits and bytes, was super patient and helpful. Took care of everything from A to Z and got us an amazing deal.
Arkadys attention to detail and willingness to adjust to customers needs are unparalleled. Highly recommend Personal Car Shopper services for buying or leasing a car.
I am adding another 5 star review.Looking for a new lease a friend recommended me to work with Arkadi. With much hesitation I called Arkadi - the best decision I could make and now I have a new friend.He took me to the dealership, arranged a test drive (alone), negotiated the deal, adviced me, searched for the perfect color combinations.He found the color I wanted in a distant dealership. He arranged the car to be delivered to his office where he personally closed the financials.A complete VIP treatment. What I thought is going to be a nightmare dealing with sales person turned into a positive experience.Highly recommended.
Best experience of buying or leasing a car.You will save time and money. Instead of long negotiations with dealer he just got me lowest price possible. ($100 / month less than any price that was given to me). When I was picking my new 2020 BMW X3 and signing financial papers dealer tries to sell you services.We were discussing a service for $1900, but when Arkady showed up and told dealer that I was his client, the price for that service dropped to $900.I’m recommending Arkady to anyone who is buying or leasing a car and I will definitely use his service again.
Arkady found the exact car I wanted with the colors/features I requested extremely quickly. He made the whole process easy and took care of everything including negotiating a great price!
Arkady is my favorite person to do business with! Gets you the best deal and like he always says “Dont worry! i’ll tak care!”, he does!
For years we are buying our cars without a personal shopper, after hearings so many recommendations of Arkadi we decided to approach him.The experience was absolutely amazing, he was super responsive, fast, friendly, and most important help us to get the best deal.We will definitely work with him again and recommend him to our friends!
Really enjoyed working with Arkady -- thanks for all the patience and totally recommend!
Both me and my spouse are incredibly happy we met Arkady! He is a real pro in his business. If you’re concerned the same way as we were, – Japanese, American or German car, classic, electric or hybrid engine, credit or leasing, 2 or 3 years, or just looking for the best deal – I highly recommend this personal car shopper. If youre looking for the best option, and (just as we recently) have no idea about all the procedures and nuances of paperwork, and of course, do not want to overpay – this is your place. In our tricky situation we got an excellent bargain, with a big discount, really small monthly payment, excellent insurance conditions, and ZERO difficulties with paperwork. It took only ONE meeting to complete everything, and the second we already drove our new car.
I’ve used Arkady on two transactions, the first one to get a lease a previously advertised price and another to sell the sale vehicle back to the dealership when I no longer needed it. In both cases he saved me both time and money. There is no stress when working through Arkady, he more than earns his fee and acts as your agent so you never have to deal with the sales staff at the dealership. I will never buy or sell another car in the area using any other method. Thank you Arkady for saving me time and money. Total time selling the car was one hour. Amazing.
Arkady helped me with a new lease. He is a full service car broker that helps with the selection and purchase process.With Arkady, I could close the lease in an hour, instead of days and weeks of negotiating with dealerships.Once decided, the car was brought to his office, and I picked it up from there.Arkady also helped tweak my insurance policy and provide me perspective on how to sell my old car (which he could have taken care off as well)
Arcady is a very knowledgeable and kind person. I have rated his support and trust as 5 out of 5 and would certainly recommend Arcady to anyone who wants to buy / sell / lease a vehicle. Arcady, thank you!
Please do a favor to yourself, go to Arkdey he will take care of everything and it probably will be better than what you thought.I was referred to use Arkdeys services and recommend you do the same.
Never in my life I have met a person more professional, honest and with a good heart like Arkady. He knows everything to know about cars and will get you the best deal available!
Arkady helped guide us through the entire car buying process and found us exactly what we were looking for. Hes very patient and provides great insights for anyone hoping to navigate through the many decisions involved in purchasing a car.
Hands down the best customer service Ive experienced, no hyperbole or exaggeration. Arkady is thorough, insightful, and straightforward. From other reviews and after meeting him I can see why some considered him aggressive, but he is genuinely a nice person, if only distinctly assertive. He will sit down with you and hear you out on what youre looking for, while giving you suggestions and sharing his opinion. He gets that dealing with salespeople is unnecessarily tedious and takes care of that side of things, leaving you with the choice on what to buy. Mind you, he asks for your trust, but he is 100% transparent. It was refreshing to see him make the calls to the dealerships and sellers right in front of me. If there was something he or I didnt like hed flat out say it. He will give you his opinion, but ultimately will do what you tell him. Already recommend his service to a couple of friends and family.I do recommend doing some research as to what vehicle you want, itll definitely help things go a lot smoother and faster.
Amazing car shopping experience !I would never be able to find such a specific car model I was after, in such an excellent condition - for such a great price.Arkady is very experienced in all the ins and outs of car shopping process. He took care of everything: the search for the car, the buying, the paperwork, the inspection and even the detailing.Great personal experience !I highly recommend his services !
If I could give 10 stars, I would gladly do that. Arkady perfectly understood my needs and found me a car that you cant find any better. It was fast and effective. There is no chance that I would find such a gem by myself. Thanks, Arkady!
We were feeling overwhelmed at the though of buying a used car, but Arkady found us a Mazda CX-5 that is absolutely perfect for our familys needs and fit our budget. If youd rather avoid the car yards and high pressure sales tactics, I highly recommend giving Arkady a call.
Dont try to get a quote for a car. Dont try to get a quote for insurance. Just call Arkady, and youll get everything for the best price and the best coverage. Awesome service, fast and reliable.I agree its probably works the best for those who is buying their first car in the US. But I really satisfied with what I got for money (not a big deal after all + you save on insurance and a ton of time you might spent in DMV).Recommend!
We are extremely thankful to Arkady! He is competent in his area. This service is easy and quick for you. You need only choose a type of car and then can get enjoy from your new car. It’s incredible. We are really happy to use our new car!
Arkady got us an excellent price both for the old car we were selling, and for the new car. Everything was done very patiently, efficiently, courteously, and with a nice sense of humor. A totally different experience from our past new car purchases. Hands down highest possible recommendation.
After reading the awesome reviews on Yelp, we decided to leverage Arkadys expertise in leasing a new car for my teenage daughter who got her driving license recently. The overall experience was great and we ended up leasing a new 2020 Honda Civic. Arkady is very well connected in the Bay Area auto industry and got us a very good deal without us having to go through the usual pains of buying/ leasing a car. He is very frank and the local auto dealers respect him. I strongly recommend Arkady to anyone who wants to buy or lease a car in the Bay Area.
Best car shopping experience ever!The title Personal Car Shopper couldnt be more true. They walked us through all the process and helped us get to a decision without any pressure or sense of urgency.I had been dragging my feet about getting a new car and they made the whole experience as painless as possible!I would definitely go back and will recommend everyone in my life who is looking to purchase a new or used car to go to Personal Car Shopper.
Unbelievably good!Arkady is a one-man operation that does everything for you - understanding your needs, finding and buying a car, registration, insurance... Super friendly, helpful and trustworthy. Just to give an example - he got us a practically new car up and going in two days!Couldnt ask for anything more except that more people would be like that
Ive used this service twice now and Arkady is amazing! He helped me purchase a SUV back in 2017 when I was having a hard time locating exactly what I wanted at the price I was willing to pay. But he found it for me and made the purchase process hassle free and efficient!Recently I needed to sell an electric vehicle that I no longer needed and Arkady came through for me in a way that no other car selling service could. He managed to get a better price than all of his competitors and again made the process very easy and seamless.He is my go to now for all car buying and selling needs!
Amazing service! Arkady was able to find me exactly what I wanted even though it wasnt easy, and in an incredibly short time. On top of that he was able to save me money. Hes a true professional!
It’s been a few months since I started my research to buy my new car.I was in some car dealership and some friends that showed me some stuff, but still I didn’t have the feeling that I can truly trust them.Than, I met Arkadi from personal car shopper and everything that he done for me was perfect and he found for me the best deal!If you looking for buy new car, definitely he is the ONE!
Great experience getting lease on a car. Really fast, thoughtful and looking for our interests. Arkady did all the paperwork and negotiations with dealership and helped to get the insurance. Overall great work for a really good price.
Using Personal Car Shopper was a great experience. This is the second time Ive used a service like this and it is so easy - no hassle and better price than what I was expecting. I will definitely use Arkady again.
Arkady was extremely helpful with our needs. He guided us through the selection process to focus on the right cars we wanted to go after, then he got us the best deals possible.We even had a slight hiccup with the dealership, which he completely fixed with them directly.Thank you Arkady!!!
My experience is incredible. My colleagues recommend me this service.Got my new car in a few days with best conditions and no credit history. Arkady did everything. He is interested to give exactly what you want and need. He goes with whatever you like and has a lot of experience. You can definitely trust Arkady and just relax.I am absolutely sure that I will come and buy the next car here.
Arkady provided my wife and I a service that exceeded our wildest expectations, hes truly one of a kind! Thanks Arkady!!
TL;DRGreat experience, worth every cent!Having been in the Bay Area (and the US) for six years, I wasnt sure I would need help leasing a new car, and I did not.But.Taking the edge off the search and negotiation, having Arkady fight for me at the dealership and making sure I was treated almost like Royalty, not to mention wrestling about $1,000 in perks and discounts, all while putting mine and my familys comfort, priorities and goals a the dealers priority - that was priceless.Thank you Arkady!See you in three years!
Arkady and Personal Car Shopper is the best car service that Ive ever seen. He organized everything very fast (1 day) and smooth (no any special things I was supposed to do).Initially, I wanted to buy a lot of accessories for the future car, and Arkady saved me at least $2000 by helping make the right choice, he got the best price for the car as well. He, also, helped me to fill out all the documents and get the right insurance policy.I knew that I could do everything as he said and I would be safe.
Great service! Strongly recommended. Got a great MB
My wife and I just bought a new car through Personal Car Shopper. We had a FANTASTIC experience working with Arkady. He always made himself available to answer questions, make recommendations and help us every step of the way through the process. He guided us through car selection, trim and feature choices and financing options. He then sourced and secured the car, at a great price, and we worked through the paperwork at his office in about a half hour. We saved money and saved a lot of time buying through them. We HIGHLY recommend working with Arkady and the team at Personal Car Shopper!
Great place for buying a new car from any vendor. I bought brand new Toyota Sienna XLE with 38,000 MSRP for only 35,500. I think I could eventually achieve similar price bargaining with multiple dealers, but here I just came, told what I want, chose color and trim, and got a car the next day. Great service and personal touch for a fixed fee. Highly recommend to those who want to save time and do not like to bargain at dealerships.
Im new to the US, which means I have no credit score, no driving experience in the US, etc.Before I went to Arkady, I thought that with my budget Id be able to buy a two-year-old compact car which would be suitable only for daily commute needs. Not fun at all. At least, that was my through after visiting dealerships.I didnt have a specific requirement for a car, but I wanted to get the best value for my budget. Arkady gave me two lease options: Toyota Camry with 0$ downpayment, ~350$ monthly, or of Mercedes-Benz GLC (5k down, ~460$ monthly).Then we went to the Mercedes dealership. I took a quick test-drive, confirmed that I want to buy it, Arkady negotiated the deal, and I signed a lease on the next day. During the whole signing process, he consulted me regarding all the questions I had.I never thought that I, as a new person here, with no credit score, would get such an incredible deal!
Great service, Arkady is very nice and helps with everything !
Arkady is very good! Ive got a car exactly that I want with exact options.In just 2 days from the first contact with Arkady with a bottom price.
Arkady has done an amazing job in finding us the cars we wanted, negotiating with the dealerships and getting us a great price. He also went far and beyond and negotiated with Geico for us.Bottom line: Arkady provides great service and saved us a lot of money and hassle.
Arkady is the best. Knowledgeable and honest. And funny, too.
Arkady is super professional, friendly and just an awesome guy! Super recommended.
I just brought a car from Arkady. Buying a car in the US requires great deal of research, haggling with car dealers and getting the right options for your budget. With Arkady, its a one person job and quick enough. He makes deals with car dealers like a boss and his years of experience in dealing with the car market show. I would highly recommend Personal car shopper and would buy my next car from Arkady again. Thanks Arkady!
I met Arkady when a 2nd car was needed and I wish I had known him when we purchased our 1st car. I have nothing but great things to say about my experience with Personal Car Shopper. Arkady was very professional and answered all our questions (even guided us with insurance info). His service was very quick and answered all our needs. You can count on him to find you the best deal there is when it comes to cars!
We had an incredible experience with Arkady.Our friends gave us his contact with really good references.And since we had a chance to do our research on a few dealerships, we had enough info to compare. And to be absolutely sure that to go with personal shopper and Arkady, in particular, we did the best thing you could do.On a first meeting, we gave our brief on what make/model/year and specs we want.Since what we wanted was a bit pricey, he offered us an alternative make/model with a great set of specs.And just in 30 mins, we had estimated offer from 2 dealers on both options.He answered every single question we had and even spent some time giving us more information about things we never even thought.The same day we got our approval, and the next day we got our car!Extremely fast and smooth.Moreover, we got the best price with 0 down payment and pack of nice extras.Arkady took care every single thing and even more.We are super happy with our car and how everything went.And it was a pleasure to chat about our homeland too :)Thank you so much!Max & Anastasia
No BS; Quick, tailored and friction free experience.
Arkady is smart, trustworthy, friendly and professional.He guided me in purchasing 2 cars in 2014 and another electric vehicle last year. He also sold one of my old cars and got me a great price for it. Since then, I have referred 5 friends to Arkady and they are all happy customers.Arkady helped me find the cars that were right for me.He spared me the pain of making mistakes and paying too much.He saved me time and made the process fast and simple.Arkady provided me with great service and great value.I wholeheartedly recommend him.
Awesome servile with awesome assistance.
My wife found the Personal Car Shopper from online reviews when we were looking to buy a pre-owned car. I was reluctant to go to a car shopping service but was glad I did. Arkady is a great guy, very knowledgeable and open. He took his time in explaining how the pre-owned car auctions work, what the ratings mean and how he decides on buying the car.We bought a BMW 5 series about a year ago. We were so happy that a month ago we went back to him when we wanted to buy a car for my daughter. He was very patient with her and we bought a Hyundai Elantra that she loves. Arkady buys all cars as if he is buying for his family and that made us feel at ease.I highly recommend him and would go back again to buy another car with his help
Drive you through the hassle of leasing a new car. Saved me a fortune.
Perfect ! Everything went smoothly ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Horrible fool. Avoid!!!
I liked the idea, in fact we already have the Spanish version.Personalcarshopper.es
