    Used Tesla

    LOW pressure Lawrence gave us a great price and did not up charge us like other dealers. Very professional and got us the perfect Tesla to meet our needs. Unlike another who dealer wanted to charge for window tinting, clear coat, and interior coating(scotch guard). He also didn't ask us to buy an additional $3,400 Tesla extended warranty

    I purchased a 2021 Model Y from Autolink and traded them my 2020 Model 3. I found Lawrence to be a pleasant individual to work with, but unfortunately he concealed a serious issue with the vehicle. The car was completely infested with hundreds of COCKROACHES. To my disgust I only discovered this on the first night. When I approached the vehicle and the light turned on I saw several roaches race around the car. Lawrence had mentioned to me that there were ants in the vehicle when I noted a chemical smell during the test drive and told me that they had been taken care of. I have since not been able to use the vehicle and have had to hire a professional to take care of the problem. It will take three weeks for it to fully take effect, there are hundreds of dead roaches in the vehicle and throughout the internals. My wife is horrified and will not use the vehicle. I have basically lost a month of use and incurred a nightmare.

    Ana and the dealer owner went above and beyond to make sure I was able to take the vehicle home the same day. Nice people. Very professional. No pushy sales tactics that you find at a franchise dealership. No pressure at all whatsoever from them. Would recommend.

    Kill joyVery upsetting.Carla and Lawrance know nothing about customer service or building their bussiness. I just payed cash for a vehicle . Before I made my final payment. I noticed the tires side walls were cut on 2 tires. On the online post you can visably see the cuts . He said it doesn't matter it's used.I asked for a small discount $80 so I can feel safe buying some used tires. Lawrance said absolutely not. I have family members that are in the market to buy and I was going to refer them . But I would absolutely not give them another penny. They really could care less about the joy of buying a care with hard earned money. Be very careful and their verbiage is very misleading. Do yourself a favor go somewhere that cares about customer happiness

    Just got a used Lexus IS from here and it was a super easy/great experience. Usually car salespeople are really pushy and pressure you into buying but Carla and Lawrence were wonderful. It's a very small car used car dealership and all the cars are stored inside a big garage that probably houses around 10-12 vehicles. Their prices are insane!! You'll find cars here in almost perfect condition for $3,000+ under market price. My only complaint is that the car we got was pretty dirty inside. There was a lot of dog hair stuck to the sides where there was fabric material and the seats were a bit dirty. Nothing some good leather conditioner couldn't fix though. Thanks Carla and Lawrence!!!

    Happy Customer

    Highly recommend Autolink for your used car buying needs! My daughter was in the market for a new used car - and we found a great vehicle at a very reasonable price here at Autolink. Lawrence & Carla we're both very helpful - it was a no pressure environment, yet Lawrence was very helpful and responsive when we had questions, etc. Once we decided to move forward, they were helpful with arrangements - she put down a deposit to hold the vehicle, and they had the paperwork ready to go when we got there - which Carla helped walk her through. Everything was super smooth! All of their cars seemed to be in really good condition too!! (She got a 2017 Toyota Corolla - clean title, great service records, etc...) Definitely check them out when you're ready for your next quality used car!! Thanks Lawrence and Carla!!

    I don't typically leave negative reviews, but I feel compelled to share my experience so that other…read morebuyers can make informed decisions before choosing this dealership. Like many people, I entered the car-buying process aware of the stereotype surrounding car salespeople, but I tried to keep an open mind. I was shopping for a reliable used vehicle that fit my budget and had been communicating with Saul via text for several days before visiting the dealership. Saul was professional, responsive, and helpful throughout our conversations, and I let him know I would be arriving Saturday morning to view a specific vehicle. Upon arriving, I spotted a different vehicle that I immediately fell in love with. I was then introduced to Anthony S., who unfortunately set the tone for what became a very disappointing experience. Despite my serious interest in purchasing the vehicle, there was no offer to pull the vehicle around, no invitation to test drive it, and very little effort made to help me evaluate the car. Instead, I was told he could "run some numbers." What followed was frustrating and misleading. The payment amounts, financing terms, and expectations that were discussed upfront changed significantly once I reached the finance stage. By the time I sat down to finalize the deal, the numbers and terms being presented were not what had originally been represented to me. The customer service throughout the process was equally disappointing. There were long periods where I was left waiting without updates or communication. I was repeatedly given conflicting information about who I was working with, first being told Saul was on his way, then being told he was off for the day, only to have Saul ultimately return and deliver the vehicle. The lack of communication and professionalism made what should have been an exciting purchase feel stressful and disorganized. My disappointment extended beyond sales and into finance. My interaction with Alex Corona in finance left me feeling more like a transaction than a valued customer. The overall atmosphere from much of the staff felt unwelcoming and indifferent. The one bright spot in my experience was Saul, who remained professional and courteous throughout, and what I believe was the General Manager. The GM took the time to speak with me and was the only person who ensured I was able to test drive the vehicle, even though, remarkably, this occurred after I had already signed the paperwork. He was polite, professional, and genuinely seemed to care about the customer experience. Unfortunately, two positive interactions cannot outweigh the overall experience. Purchasing a vehicle is a significant financial decision, and customers deserve transparency, communication, and respect throughout the process. I would not recommend this dealership based on my experience. If you're considering purchasing a vehicle here, I strongly encourage you to do thorough research, ask detailed questions, and ensure that every promise regarding pricing, payments, and financing terms is documented before moving forward.

I brought my vehicle to Kearny Mesa Hyundai for service, and it took nearly 10 days just for a technician to assess the car. I was eventually told that the high-voltage battery needed to be replaced. When I was notified that my vehicle was ready for pickup, I arrived at the dealership and was shocked by the condition of my car. It was completely covered in bird droppings. I pointed this out to the employee who brought out the vehicle, and I was told that they do not have covered parking and do not wash customer vehicles. Luckily, my service advisor overhead how upset I was and eventually helped to clean the vehicle. The condition in which my vehicle was returned was unacceptable and extremely unprofessional. Other customers walking by were visibly shocked and even commented on how disgusting the car looked. I have attached photos documenting the condition of the vehicle at pickup. Based on my experience, I would strongly recommend avoiding this service center.

KM is now under their ownership and this dealership brings with it all aspects of shady and terrible practices. I'll try my best to condense this but its a lot to cover. DO NOT take your vehicle to be serviced here DO NOT work with their slimy salespeople DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT consider one of their "certified" pre-owned vehicles SERVICE:After over a decade of being a VW customer at this location (see former glowing review), I can tell you this is not the same dealership and I was pretty blindsided in discovering this. I've tried to shop around for other mechanics but having a German diesel vehicle has pretty much priced me locked in for services and I liked having all work history at a location. So I did a major service again. 2 Months later, a major fuel-related issue happened while entering the freeway....twice. Given the proximity to the service, it was understandable for me to think 'maybe the tech did something wrong, and quickly brought it in for diagnosis. Without barely looking at it, I was told to replace the in-fuel (low pressure) fuel pump. I was also told the 'good news' there was no metal debris present. I was told this fixes it 90% of the time. Then 30 mins later I was texted again, didn't fix it, we now have to replace the high pressure fuel pump "and see." I stopped all work on it and was now out $850. We carefully drove the car home where it's sat in the garage as I weighed my options. Well guess what? A very kind, diesel expert mechanic was able to come for a house call second opinion. He spent about 5 mins unscrewing the cap of the fuel filter (one of the items I just replaced) and there are metal shards. The car is done. The entire fuel system is lost. And the VW tech stated no metal was found and to just go ahead and replace the HPFP (a job they list as about $5k). Their expert best tech either didn't check a very basic thing, or straight up lied to get me to pay for a replacement that would have failed from a compromised system. VW corporate: This is a very big deal. I am hoping you are paying attention. This is a soon to be BBB claim. SALES: On the day I was told my car needed the HPFP replaced (before learning about the metal in the system) , I considered the option of getting a certified pre-owned electric car that had just come in. It was truly a casual inquiry. The salesman was friendly and down to earth, and shared that if we wanted to put down a deposit, no one else could consider the car (which seemed to be a rare inventory). It still needed to be serviced and cleaned, so I went ahead and did that just to secure a first look. Again, this was a casual inquiry and the friendly guy said "no pressure, if you change your mind you get the deposit back." This returned lease started to rub me the wrong way. In only 2 years it had 42,000 miles on it and it was returned extremely dirty. Carfax showed it was never brought in for service nor recalls corrected. I expressed my concerns and the sales guy just saw dollar signs of a deposit on the car and thought I committed. I wanted to see how it was cleaned up. They rushed everything with that guy seeing it as a done deal. We came in and immediately I saw coffee stains still on the armrest. Couldn't even clean it. The display screen was massively delayed on touch, the compartments abused. When we returned to the lot, the child lock was turned on for the back seat and wouldn't unlock. The guy laughed it off and said something about it being quirky. Was he this oblivious? Smiling, he asked if I was paying cash or wanted to finance. I told him I was not buying this car. Suddenly his demeanor completely changed and he decided to try some gender biased guilt trip on me... "Did I do something wrong? My manager is telling me he thinks I did something wrong." What kind of awful sales tactic is this? I felt like I was on a 2nd tinder date with someone who had no awareness. "Why did you come back then?" He demanded. Um... to get my $1,000 deposit back? Then the uncomfortable trying to sweat us out with waiting and returning with more terrible offers for a defective used car. It probably took 30 minutes to finally get my card refunded. I contacted the service manager about my experience (again, this was before finding out there is metal all over the fuel system) and their new young service manager has zero customer service skills or empathy. He ignored emails and blew me off after initiating another call. I filled out the service survey (they try to guilt you into giving them 5 stars for everything regardless of your experience) and said I wanted to be contacted in follow-up, and nothing. I contacted VW CARE with a thoughtfully written email and was replied to with a no subject canned response blowing me off. VW: You have clearly learned nothing from Dieselgate.

My 2020 Kia with just 47k miles (2nd owner) suffered a catastrophic engine failure, a known issue. To be clear, the service representative was courteous and stated he advocated on my behalf. Despite providing maintenance records, I was accused of improper maintenance, and the service department, the district manager and KIA corporate denied any goodwill coverage while presenting a $12,000 engine replacement quote as my only option. My vehicle was at Kia Kearny Mesa for 3 months. As a repeat Kia customer, even a partial goodwill offer would have acknowledged both the issue and customer loyalty, but no such effort was made. There was no meaningful advocacy, no clear explanation for the denial beyond the maintenance allegation, and no attempt to reach a reasonable resolution. After reviewing the final invoice and photos, my independent mechanic advised that the diagnostic charges and proposed engine teardown costs appeared excessive and inconsistent with Bureau of Automotive Repair guidance. This further confirmed my decision not to proceed with repairs through the dealership. If you are considering Kia for long-term ownership, be aware that repeat customers appear to receive little consideration when serious mechanical issues arise. This experience permanently ended my relationship with Kia.

Bottom line up front (BLUF): Kassie helped us put together a solid deal on a sweet new ride. I'm stoked about it. The dealers at Kearney Mesa were very forthcoming and straight forward. Car buying is stressful, and at that critical moment when the deal starts getting rocky, and anxiety goes up, the dealers were able to walk us on target and explain everything we were paying for, they spent extra time with us to make sure we were comfortable with the deal. They threw in a super great warranty as well, giving us the peace of mind that we are going to be ok for the long term. And they even did some jiu-jitsu to get us a lower rate in the end.

The sale side is great. Someone always picks up the phone and when you're there, they treat you well (obviously to get you to sign a new contract). But once you get your car, the service department does not uphold the same standard of customer service. There's so much turnover it's not the same advisor ever. They do not have enough workers to keep up with the demand. You can never reach anyone by phone. The calls go to a AI generated voice to text or leave a message and NOBODY ever calls you back despite multiple messages. If you're lucky to get an appointment, it's often weeks away even if your issue is urgent like my car not starting at all. When you're there, the service advisors are overworked and annoyed by customers. It takes days to weeks to get your car back and they do not provide loaner cars anymore. They give you a uber voucher only to and from the dealership but it doesn't cover the full amount and then you don't have a car to drive while your car is being serviced. Communication is minimal while your car is in the shop and trying to get a hold of your advisor is impossible. They don't offer complimentary car washes anymore so you get your car back dirty both inside and out. They always ask you to submit their survey with a 10/10 score or to not complete the survey if you score anything lower than that. Seriously? How about actually improve your customer service, appointment availability, and service turnaround and earn the 10/10 score. I just went to Pedder in Poway this week and got great customer service. I plan to go there for all my future service needs.

    5 Stars - Outstanding Experience at Miramar Motorsports…read more My wife and I recently purchased a Toyota Sequoia from Miramar Motorsports, and we could not be more satisfied with the entire experience. As a 67-year-old business owner, I have purchased many vehicles over the years for both personal and business use. Without hesitation, I can say that Miramar Motorsports is one of the most professional, organized, and customer-focused dealerships I have ever worked with anywhere in the country. Miramar Motorsports is a family-owned business, and we had the pleasure of working directly with Ali and Mike. From start to finish, they were friendly, knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely committed to providing an exceptional customer experience. They made us feel valued throughout the entire process. The Toyota Sequoia we purchased was exactly as advertised and in outstanding condition. What really impressed me was the level of care and attention they put into preparing their vehicles. Their in-house mechanics thoroughly serviced the vehicle using quality replacement parts. Since the mileage was approaching the manufacturer's recommended timing belt service interval, they proactively replaced the timing belt and addressed other important maintenance items at the same time. They also replaced the water pump, front brakes, and rotors, ensuring the vehicle was ready for years of reliable service. Another thoughtful touch was that they had the catalytic converter stamped for identification purposes in the event it is ever stolen. This demonstrated their commitment to protecting their customers even after the sale. The paperwork process was equally impressive. Everything was handled professionally and presented in a well-organized binder. They took the time to review the Carfax report with us line by line, explaining every detail and answering all of our questions. As an added bonus, they even sent us home with a full tank of gas. Anyone living in California knows that's not a small gesture these days! It's just another example of the extra steps they take to make sure their customers leave completely satisfied. I simply cannot say enough positive things about the way we were treated by everyone at Miramar Motorsports. Their honesty, professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to customer satisfaction are second to none. When it comes time to purchase another vehicle, I will absolutely return to Miramar Motorsports and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality vehicle and an outstanding buying experience.

If you're looking for someone who knows these trucks and does things the right way, definitely hit him up.
