Auto Plaza Palm Desert - Great customer service and satisfaction. Teddy was very professional, helpful and accommodating. We're very pleased with our purchase. - Car Dealers Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Extremely happy with the car purchased, the price paid and the salesmen, Avi and Tudor, who wrote up the purchase papers. both were very easy to work with , without any "used car salesmen" attitude. We had found the car on Auto Guru, and when we inquired online, we received a prompt response. I highly recommend Auto Plaza to anyone looking for a reasonably priced used car in a no pressure zone :) read more

I purchased a 2011 Chrysler 200 convertible from here on 8/16/2021 and the car is great mechanically and the paint and interior still looks great. The car did need a new battery though and discovered the air filter and cabin air filter needed changing badly. Also the AC condenser has a small leak but I guess for a 10 year old it's to be expected but it drives nicely and hasn't broken down. I also have to have the battery cables replaced as their old age is showing and it caused the battery cable to cause it was frayed near the end connector and it was causing the battery light to light up so I'm fixing these issues but it's no fault of the dealer as it was sold "as is" and I expected a few things but none of them affect the car mechanically and it runs good and looks good too. read more

They are a great place to buy your next car. Great service and very honest and trustworthy.

Dealers and staffs had my car's details on their website and sold my car in weeks. They had made very diligent request to meet my car's criteria for their marketplace and their team managed to get the job done much faster than I realize it could. I always enjoy coming to palm desert and since I wasn't a resident of the area. Meanwhile, the city to have my car sold was the most comfortable choice. Hope who ever has my bmw will take good care of it. read more

I would give them 100 stars if I could! This is my 3rd car from these guys and they are the best! They are genuine and not pushy or weird. Also good people to do business with and good people in general. Wouldn't go anywhere else these guys always take care of me when I need a new car. read more

Friendly and humble staff, none of the pretentiousness that goes along with luxury dealers. Special shout out to Reza for hooking it up with the deal and Tri Phan for walking me through all of the financing documentation. Tri even had BMW match my BoA interest rate on top of the great pricing I received. Superior vehicle, especially for the condition and price point. I am super obsessed with attention to detail and browsed around for close to a year for a good deal (across dealers in SoCal and about), before settling on this beauty Quick process. In and out in about two hours with down payment made, financing secured, and brand new whip in hand All Warranties Checked out. Admittedly, not knowing anything about this dealer, I had my reservations regarding honoring of warranty, etc. But the transfer process waseasy. . read more

This place is incredible and such amazing customer service , the staff was super helpful and stuck to their word. We came in car less and walked out with the car we wanted with no bs, like the other places. Would recommend 100 percent. We're so grateful for all their help. Definitely coming back for a second car !!! read more

Very happy with this used car dealership. They had a lot of mid range priced cars at a better price than other places I checked. The owner was really honest and the purchase was very quick. They also helped me finance my credit which is not that great. read more

Just purchased a car from Avi. He was very easy to work with, fast and honest. He had the best prices for the cars that I was looking for. A little far from me, but definitely worth the drive. read more

Checked around for a 2 months and they had the best prices on the 2 vehicles I wanted. The whole process was really fast. They weren't pushy at all and made it a pleasant experience. read more

This is our 4th car from Auto Plaza! All the cars so far have been Amazing! We still have all of them except one and that is because sadly it was involved in a car accidient two weeks ago and was a total loss.. When our mini van was a loss we needed another car and fast. I wasnt finding anything at Auto Plaza within my budget at the time so I looked Elswhere and ran into this person selling a toyota for 4000. I thought oh great deal! and looked up the liscense plate I seen in the pics she sent me of the car. Car looked gorgeous, as far as she knew it was a great car. However, its carfax and background told a different story. It had structual damage to it 2 times before she bought it through a dealer and once with her that happend when a tire hit her car in the front on the freeway and she did not report it either. So 3 times! The car had passed through numerous dealers and auctions as well. I took it to Teddy and asked him what he thought and he said him personally, Would not touch this car nor put it on his lot because of the structual damage issue. He went to google and showed me what "structual damage" means so I could understand that its serious business. Look, you are never going to find the perfect car on any used car lot. Batteries, brakes, tires and ect are regular maintence parts. Its the main parts that really matter and these guys do thier best to make sure they are selling good working cars. Again, you are on a USED car lot you should know you need to get your car maintenced and up to date after buying any used car from anywhere cause you just dont know. These guys are very honest and for anyone who speaks ill of them doesnt know a thing about these guys at all. They are as gunuine as they come and really loves happy customers. Moreover, I found our new car! It is a Jeep Compase and we absoulutly love it! Once again we are Happy customers and WONT GO ANYWHERE ELSE! EVERRRR! read more

I walked in the second week of a March looking to purchase a vehicle . I was looking for a reliable vehicle for work and family . A sedan of some sort . Maybe an audi that they had on inventory . I took it for a test drive and the engine seemed to need a tune up and ran a little rough. So I decided to check out the 2011 bmw 328i . Turned it on it sounded good. No check engine lights . The interior was in good condition and seemed like a solid buy for the price . I went in the office with my wife and did the paperwork . They offered me a third party warranty not disclosing any issues with the vehicle and not letting me know I had options to start the warranty on day one or that certain things weren't covered . A week later the car started having engine issues and making a whistle and screech. I contacted them and they said to bring it in to check out . On my way to the dealership the car engine completely seized and have to have them come to it to the dealership. Now I am out a reliable car and the warranty hasn't even started . Hopefully they fix the issues with the car as no issues were disclosed upon purchase . They are making me drive to them to fill out a "work order" to see what's wrong with the car , and he stated " we'll go from there" . I am completely inconvenienced by issue and is costing me more money when I should have received atleast a reliable vehicle for 10k . I will Update later on whether they fix the car or not and what Happens. I am Very disappointed and dissatisfied w my purchase and I regret going here . read more

Can't say enough about those guys, Avi and Teddy went above and beyond to find our family, the best car they can get , everything went smooth the car is perfect, and I will definitely reuse them for any cars need and referred them to all my family and friends thank you so much!!! read more

Auto Plaza Palm Desert - Car Dealers Near Me - Palm Desert, California

Recently bought a car from Avi and Teddy. Overall the experience was excellent with 1 negative (for me). They preferred I took the vehicle to a mechanic within a couple miles from their shop, which was challenging on a Saturday. Everything else was great. They definitely come recommended. I am VERY happy with the vehicle I purchased. Many thanks, read more

Recently bought my car from this used auto dealership. Couldn't be happier with my experience. Helped me after the sale as well when I had some issues about the details of using the technical stuff with the tesla. Spent 35 min on facetime with me. Their after service was very impressive and followed up a few days later as well! read more

I am currently sitting in the office with Avi and Tedi who have been absolutely and completely amazing.

They were in no way shape or form pushy and never gave off a shark type sales man vibe at all. I feel lile i made a deal with family. I completely recommend to anyone who is looking to buy a used car that this be your first stop!!! Me and my new Lexus and very happy!!!!!!! Thank you so much Tedi and Avi!!!!!!!! read more

I bought a car here and the next day it didn't start turns out it needed a new battery right off the bat also turns out the horn didn't work and the brake lights didn't work and to top it off my title was lost in the mail and I had to pay them to get a duplicate worst experience ever don't trust this place ! read more

I've been test driving cars all month to buy my first. I'm very warm and take whatever the dealer says with a grain of salt. I arrived at this dealership to look at a Corolla I saw on Craigslist and was interested in. When I arrived I noticed the Corolla was parked on the street [check 1, you don't leave a good car on the street out of the lot]. When I started the car it made a funny noise then I smelled something weird. I started it again, and again same problem. The dealer said "we haven't started the car in a couple days". Something seems fishy.... I mean, the starting of the engine is a very VERY big selling point. Why not take the time to start every car, everyday? I left. Bye dream Corolla, hope to see you soon somewhere else in better condition. read more

I thought I could trust this place, but less then two weeks after my purchase my Honda was running very poorly. I took it in to have it looked at at Mountian View tire and they told me the oil solinoid needed replace. Along with needing brake pads, rotors, tires(7 years old) front struts and a lower control arm. The dealer did fix the solinoid but a couple more weeks go by and now I need a catalytic converter. Plus it gets HORRIBLE gas milage. I also had to replace the battery. I was strait up taken average of at this place. DO NOT SPEND YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY HERE. read more

I definitely would not recommend coming here. I purchased a 2008 Toyota Solara a few weeks ago and the car was far from everything they told me it was. First, they lied about how many crashes the car had been in. They told me no crashes and gave me a car history report showing zero crashes. However, when I took it to the mechanic (after purchasing - I'll explain more on that below), he told me it had clearly been in a bad one. His guess was that it should have been declared totaled but somehow slid under the radar to still have a clean title. The damages had been repaired but poorly. The frame was pulled out but not well, the engine and tire shields were still crunched up and hitting the tires at high speeds, and one back tire was skewed slightly inward. All this was obvious to him but wasn't noticeable to the untrained eye. After hearing this, I got the Carfax from my loan officer at my bank. Auto Plaza gave me a history report from a different company, I suspect because the Carfax did show one accident from a few years ago, which explained the front end damage. There was likely a second, very recent accident that caused the back end damage. My mechanic (who I've been going to for years and I trust more than anyone) said it was clear the car had come out of the repair shop in the last few weeks. Should I have taken this car to a mechanic before purchasing? Yes, bringing me to my second point of why I wouldn't recommend Auto Plaza. I felt safe getting it checked out after purchasing because I also bought the cancellation option contract. They told me in person I had 30 days to cancel the sale, but on the contract wrote two days and slid that right by me. By the time I realized all the issues, the two days had passed, all while I thought I still had time to return it. Of course I called them asking them to honor the 30 days they told me, but they said they'd check and then never called me back and then ignored my next three calls. So all in all, sure, they covered their butts well and sure, there were some things I could have done to avoid this, but the point is, they used shady tactics to sell a shoddy car. They will not be up front with you, they will lie to your face, and then dodge you when you try to confront them. Don't come here. read more

I have been desperate to get my car smog but unfortunately I left the air conditioning on and my car battery died. I had a jumpstart from AAA and then went to a license smog check station in Palm Desert. They were so busy and they could not take me. However they referred me too auto Plaza in Palm Desert. I asked the gentlemen if they could start the car and they did not even hesitate a single second. They will fully charged my car. Kind, awesome, expedient and made my day. I was starting to get a little panicked but they saved me and kept communicating with me while they were talking with other customers. As I was waiting for them to assist me, I overheard a family of about six people who thanked them and said the service they received from them was awesome. They raved about how they taken care of. I can see why this is a great place. I really really really really really appreciated their service with a smile and never said no even though I was not doing Business with them at the time. It's about customer service which unfortunately is lost in many businesses. However it made me quite happy to understand it still exists read more

Sold me a car with a blown head gasket an didnt want to fix it real classy establishment.

I had a great experience here thus far. I bought a car about a month ago from here. Avi was very helpful and not a pushy carsalesman like I expected when I walked in. Glory to GOD my car checked out fine. I think in ALL car dealerships you should be sceptical when buying a car tho Tbh yes, I was hesitant in waiving that contract to be able to give the car back within two days. but im glad I did cause God got me. I would recommend this place to at least check out, its really no different that any other car sales, just Avi isnt pushy, and to me genuinely tries to help you based on what you're looking for. Me and my kids are very happy with our car. read more

I totally recommend this place for anyone looking for a used car. Good customer service :)

Just bought a great car from Avi and his partner. Wow! What a great car buying experience. I can't say enough about the level of service and friendliness of this dealer! They were so easy to work with and the prices were outstanding. I know that this sounds like a come on, but honestly, I am telling the truth. Easiest car buying experience I have ever had, I am 55 years old so you know I have bought more than a few autos in my life. Great place to get your 2nd car. read more

Came here to look at a car that's ten years old, but is advertised at having 77K miles. Something tells me the miles were rolled back, because the car wouldn't start, and when it finally did, the exhaust stunk so bad. I think these people are not honest, they probably purchase junk cars real cheap and patch them up to sell to the unsuspecting buyer. All I can say it, BUYER BEWARE and do your research. If something doesn't "smell right" - literally, run away. read more

I had a very good experience at this dealership. I purchased a Toyota Prius about 3 months ago and am very happy with it. The people who work there are very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this place to my friends and family because they are honest and it doesn't seem like they just want to make a sale, they want you to genuinely enjoy your vehicle. read more

Don't worry about meeting some stranger off craigslist again. Come here first. Everything from workhorse vehicle to luxury autos. Avi will put you in the right ride at the right price! read more

Don't let the name fool you. Look closer at the picture. There is no Plaza and the dealer is actually Palm Desert Auto. Just a handful of cars and they do business they old fashioned way. They are the ones that gave Used Card dealer a bad name. I bought a vehicle that had a problem within the first block. Brought it back and Avi promised to fix the vehicle. Returned it 7 times since the purchase on 5/4/19. Finally i took the car myself to a shop to address the issues and find safety and emissions. And the cost of repairs may be more the cost of the vehicle $7995. Now there is nothing they can do. They can't put me upside down and on the side of the road. A retail dealer has a minimum responsibility for safety and emissions and they ignored their responsibility. read more

I went to this place to check out some cars. Buyers beware! Alot of their cars are definitely bought from auctions with problems. i know alot about cars and just looking at them i did not even want to purchase. i noticed alot of bad things while doing quick inspections. save yourself, go somewhere else read more

Don't judge a book by its cover! My wife had been looking for a specific car and she found it on their lot. I went with her to look at it and initially had some reservations but the staff was great, Tedi cut us a great deal and we love the car. I would recommend them any of my family and friends. I'll be going back when it's time for my next car. read more

With a great deal of trepidation, I went into the lot with my roommate as 2 females looking for a car that we saw online. Avi and Ted were helpful, non condescending and answered all questions. They worked with us and then I saw a car I was interested in getting myself. He worked to get me financing and I will be picking up the car in 2 weeks. My friend will be picking hers up next week. He was helpful with putting down payments as she is waiting for the insurance company to send her a check for her totaled car. So far, we are happy with them and the prices were good. We are both going to get the extended warranty as both cars have higher mileage, and I did point out a few things that needed to be fixed or needed (nothing major, just oil change and a turn signal on one of the cars) and Avi seemed happy to oblige. Avi made what is usually a nightmare (buying a pre owned car) a pleasant and friendly experience without the usual or typical pressure tactics. 5 stars!! read more

Recently called on some suv that they might have for sale. salesman had a very heavy accent and was hard to understand. Didn't seem too interested in helping me. Told me to check the website instead of calling him with questions on any suv they had.. So i did and saw a infiniti suv that was in my price range. When i called him back he put me on speaker phone which made it worse for me understanding what he was saying. I asked him about the infiniti and he didn't seem to know a lot about it. Asked him about how many owners it had and he said he didn't know. Asked him that would seem important when a car/suv/truck was being purchased by their dealership. He stated that wasn't important to them. I thanked him and hung up the phone. Don't know much about this dealership but i would say from my experience with them. They don't seem to care about the customers questions or their product. But this is what you get when you deal with some dealerships. Many are just unprofessional and don't seem to care. And know very little about the vehicles they are selling read more
