Karen handled a search for a specific new Audi with few extras, and within a few days it was found and at a nearby Audi dealer. She negotiated a lease, and went to great pains to explain every detail on the pricing. We took her on the option to have it delivered to our home, with an accompanying Audi professional to educate us on the technology.

My wife and I have enjoyed using Clay & Company for many years and recently purchased our sixth vehicle from them. They work hard to uncover the best deal possible and the service extends long past delivery...

Our family has purchased 4 cars from them over many years and would not buy another car any other way.

Thank you so much for your exceptional service!  We love our new Ram Limited you found us and my wife was truly surprised!  You guys are the best and are obviously well-experienced in delivering vehicles with a great price in a no stress and quick experience.  We really appreciated the step by step walk through that you provided....definitely saved us tons of time.
Thanks again for an unsurpassed car buying experience!

This was absolutely the easiest and best way to buy a car. Karen made it so painless and there was no drama involved. If you want a great company to work with and a no drama purchase, this is your broker! I'd highly recommend!

I've had the opportunity to use Clay and Company twice now. Karen found me the exact car we wanted at a fantastic price. She was very responsive and explained the process well. Delivered the car, paperwork ready to go with a few signatures we were done in minutes. Having two young kids and not having to hassle with sales people, negotiations and everything else at the dealership is amazing! Karen got me such a good price, that 18 months later when my car was totaled, insurance gave me more for the car than what I paid for it brand new. The same day my car was totaled I texted Karen a picture

My third car purchased through Karen & Mark Clay. Mark and Karen work as a great team in locating the car, coordinating the purchase, rebates, credit approval, financing, and finally the delivery of the car. Each time they have got a good price, along with a clean purchase - in the sense that one is not exposed to the bait-and-switch from a salesman/finance guy experienced at some dealerships. The cars paperwork was neatly collated and presented, making the purchase enjoyable and efficient. Will definitely be using them for my next purchase!

My wife and I just completed another car purchase transaction with Karen & Mark. We have been working with them since 1986 and every transaction (purchases and leases) has been extremely positive. The communication, responsiveness, service, value & results are always awesome!

Just completed purchase on a new truck for our son. Karen was thorough, efficient and so patient with our complicated schedules. She found the exact truck we were looking for within a couple days AND it was for a lower price than i had found online! Karen worked with dealer financing to get us a great (amazing!) interest rate. Paperwork was a breeze/done in no time!
Such an enjoyable buying experience! No complaints! Thank you Karen!

We have purchased our last 8 vehicles over the span of 25 years with Clay and Company. I will never work with anyone else as long as they are in business. Karen Clay is awesome and will guide you through the entire process. Don't torture yourself by working directly with a dealer (except for doing a test drive to figure out which car you want.) Karen and her husband get a great deal from the local dealers, and if local dealers do not have the car you want, they can search all over California and the dealer will ship it to her. They also once sold a popular model used car for us, and got a

My husband bought his new van through Clay & Company. They made it seem-less. You know as well as I do the horrible stress it is when you go to buy a vehicle. It is definitely NOT one of my favorite things! The wheeling & dealing & negotiating is always a big stress as far as I'm concerned. That is why my husband went through Clay & Company. The whole process was simple, he got exactly what he wanted at at a better price than he imagined. Thanks so much Karen & Mark for your attention to detail. When a problem came up you took immediate care of it -- it was what I like

This had to be the easiest car lease!! I have purchase 3 cars from Clay and Company and was always thrilled with the process. This time around I wanted to lease a new car--something cute and economical and just could not decide on the car. Karen recommend the car I am now leasing. I really love My Subaru!!! Karen even delivered the car to me in my home town. I got want I wanted in two days and drove away again thrilled with my auto brokers, Karen and Mark. Thanks guys, Sally Sue

Yes, they did get a great deal on our vehicle. But in terms of professionalism and ability to work with people, not so great.

I guess we first noticed the problems in communication when we were ordering the truck. It was clear the broker wanted to get a good deal for us and to order what we wanted, but it was hard to communicate even from the beginning since we felt the owner, Karen, would not listen and would talk loudly over us regularly on the phone. This turned out to be an indicator of the communication problems we would have later.

We ended up having to move to SD and asked if there

First review! I hope this starts a trend, because Mark and Karen are fantastic and they deserve all the business they can handle.

I recently purchased a new Hyundai through Clay & Co. and had an amazing experience working with them. I hadn't bought a car in 14 years, and it took a while for me to figure out what I wanted, but once I did, I wanted to be in that car ASAP and Mark and Karen made it happen. My situation was complicated as I split my time between the Bay Area and Sacramento, but they were patient and persistent and helped me get the car I wanted.

Apparently the combination
