On August 2nd, again just like last year, you opened your business premises at Kassabian’s to hold our Corvette car show. You also sponsored the awards to the winners of each of our classes at the show which totaled over $800. Brad, you personally made our club and its annual fund-raising car show a huge success with over 30 Corvettes entered in our fun show. In addition, one of your Kassabian Motors’ staff, Mark, also provided live music, and he sang incredibly for our entertainment during the car show. We could not have held this event without your sponsorship support. We wanted to present you with a special gift that is known and recognize throughout the world.

Matt Nauman, Auto Editor c/o Drive San Jose, Ca

Dear Matt, As I rapidly approach the proverbial “two score and ten”, I find few things that attract my attention in today’s automobiles. I don’t mean to discredit the great advances made over the past 30+ years in safety, aerodynamics, and fuel economy, but it seems styling has suffered the most from the profit bottomline. It’s impossible for me to distinquish different model years, or even manufacture/country of orgin from more than afew feet away. I clearly remember each fall the anticipation and media hype surrounding each manufacture’s new model introduction. They were different, sometimes curious and outlandish, but always exciting. Even today I don’t believe anyone could mistake a 1960 Plymouth Fury for a 1959 Chevrolet Impala at any distance! So when shopping for a specific bit of this nostalgic era for our second vehicle, I stumbled upon a very unique dealership in Dublin. Ka,ssabian Motors’ “California Classics” is unique in more ways than the classics, hot rods, muscle cars, and Vettes they sell. To say they were just another used car dealership would be an enormous misnomer to say the very least! Most people would agree if Dante had known of used car salesmen in his time, there’d be a specific level in the “inferno” just for them. A better term for Dee and Brad Kassabian (father and son) and Chuck Conners (salesman) at “California Classics” would be Dream Brokers, or maybe Memory Merchants! The vehicles that are sold on consignment can vary from an immaculate Model-T Ford to a 40th Anniversary Corvette, or a 650HP ‘57 Chevy Streetrod. Brad Kassabian, President of Kassabian Motors’, takes to heart the saying of the customer is always right. Considering his customers are on both sides of the sales, it’s no small feat to have everyone pleased. I can not speak of every transaction, only iny own. Dee Kassabian went to extraordinary lengths to accommodate my desire of inspection prior to the sale. And Brad favorably orchestrated a very difficult out-of-state finacial arrangement I presented, at considerable cost in toll charges that were not past on. I can only assume the previous owner of the vehicle was also pleased, because my offer was accepted and a beautiful 1969 SS-396 El Camino is now parked in my garage. I cannot remember this unique niche of automotive sales ever appearing in the “Drive” section. But if the number of people that stop to talk, or just smile and wave when I’m out in my “California Classic” is any indication, then the intrest in these vintage cars is enormous. And I’m not talking just about us that are starting to get alittle long-in-the-tooth, but many are the much younger drivers also. So if there’s a slow news week in the automotive industry, maybe a look over the shoulder at the available classics would be interesting. And to be fair, I know there are other such dealerships in the area, but from my experience, there cannot possibly be any better than Kassabian Motors’ “California Classics” in Dublin!! Sincerely, Alan M. Lochner

Craigslist recommendation- February 7, 2005

Chuck from Kassabian e-mailed me about a black 97 vette I had listed here on CL. He asked me to bring it down and put it on consignment with him. I hesitated a lot, but after listing it here and in autotrader for about 2 months I decided why not. So I took it down to them. The shop is very nice – all indoors. All top end cars. I was very impressed. Chuck came out and took a look at my corvette. I started it up for him and he knew what exhaust I was running already. These guys have an extensive knowledge of vettes. They all own them and drive them. Needless to say, I felt very comfortable leaving my baby there. Chuck followed through with his promise. They took care of the smog, the paperwork -everything. He sold it in a few days. If you have a corvette for sale, I highly recommend taking it to them. It is a very nice place with great customer service. By the way, they did not pay me to do this. I am doing it because I was very happy and impressed with their service!

Jackson Kreiter – September 10, 2002

Chuck, Brad, Well once again I’ve bought a car from you guys, and once again I’ve left there thinking I got a great deal and a great car. We did a lot of research and found that the car was built by Vintage Speedsters. We are very happy. They are the ones that built the car on the show “90210″. They’ve done many movie cars. It turns out that this one was done as a “special favor”. They normally only use the 1600cc motor. Regards, Jackson

Happy Customer- May 11, 2004

This letter expresses my appreciation for the professional customer service of your entire staff and especially that of John Verhoek (Johnny Vette). Last year I purchased a 1979 Corvette from John. The complete transaction was conducted in a smooth manner without any reservations or concerns on my part. Two weeks ago I purchased a 1995 Corvette from John and again I was met with nothing less than outstanding customer service. John went out of his way to assist me and handle all of my needs. I have purchased several vehicles from local dealerships in the East Bay, but I must admit that the customer service and honest relationships experienced at Kassabian Motors and from John has been nothing less than outstanding! I will provide my highest recommendation regarding your dealership to anyone who is looking for a classic vehicle. I will continue to visit your dealership and enjoy the pleasant environment provided by John and the rest of your staff.

Patrick Johnston – June 30, 2002

Hey guys, just wanted to drop you a note and tell you what a pleasure it has been buying and selling my ‘67 GTO with Kassabian. I never felt pressured or uncomfortable with any of your salesmen – a rarity when purchasing a used car! Instead, they were helpful and provided me with the information I needed to make a wise purchase decision. When circumstances required me sell the car, again I received the information required to get the best deal and find the car a good home in a short period of time. I really felt like I was working with a team that shared the same passion for automobiles that I do. Thanks again and I am certain that I will see you when I return! Patrick Johnston
