2014 Ford Explorer
Nathan A.

Just bought a used vehicle from Bahia Auto Sales. I had to drive down from Los Angeles so I had numerous questions on the phone. Juan my salesman was excellent, answered all my questions and even sent me a Carfax! This is a family run business that has been operating for many years and it shows. They treat people right. Thank you Juan Delgado!! The vehicle a 2014 Ford Explorer (Police) has exceeded my highest expectations and feels like a new car.

My new Ford Fusion from Bahia!

I just bought a Ford Fusion from Bahia and the owner, Vicente, was so excellent to work with. It was also the best price in all of San Diego!! Everything was fast and seamless, he actually made car buying enjoyable! He clearly cares about his clients and wants them to get a good car for a fair price! Thank you Bahia!!

This is the Nissan Versa I purchased at Bahia Auto Sales
Tomas V.

Just bought a 2017 Nissan Versa from Bahia Auto Sales. After visiting around 8 dealerships in National City Mile of Cars and others in Chula Vista I arrived at Bahia Auto Sales as my brother in law highly recommended them. When I arrived I was greeted by Vicente who is the owner. He asked me what type of car I was looking for and what was my budget. He was very genuine and after discussing some cars on his lot I knew I was at the right place. He had one of his salesman Juan Manual take me out to test drive a couple of cars after I finally decided to purchase the Nissan Versa. I didn't have the cash to purchase the car and so I needed financing. They were able to secure me a smoking deal with one of their lenders and both me and my wife finalized the purchase of our new car. If you are looking for a used car and want to work with extremely personal and honest salespeople Look no further and check out Bahia Auto Sales in Chula Vista.

My new 2006 BMW 325i! It drives as great as it looks! Thank you to Vicente and Bahia Auto Sales for treating me like royalty!

See all

The customer service was really bad and they never fix anything when they take my car for repair.

We were sold an absolutely bad car. From the first week we had the car we had major issues. They…read moreattempted to fix the car with bubblegum and glue. Would never again even look at Ernie's car dealership.

SOLID USED CAR DEALER!!!…read more I was in the hunt for a car with manual transmission to teach my youngbloods the art of The Stick Shift. Yup, it's becoming a lost skill, with most new cars not even having an option for driving stick. So before they become extinct, let's drop some knowledge on these Boyz! Now where do I find one?!?! I decided to use CarGurus and AutoTrader phone apps as my primary search options. Looked at and test drove a bunch of options... Hyundai Veloster, Mazda M3, Toyota Matrix, Kia Soul, and Honda Element. Definitely nothing extravagant. Problem with used cars is finding cars with minimal issues. Look for good price but how much work will it need AFTER you buy it?? And used car dealers, are they keen on customer service? Most are not and have definitely met some rude ones during our search too. So our quest took us to ERNIE'S AUTO SALES in Chula Vista, because a car they Listed on CarGurus looked appealing. Being that it would be a bit of a drive for us, we needed to call ahead to get some details. Here, someone actually answered the phone promptly. THANK YOU! We spoke with Mr. Mario over the phone. "How's this? How's that? Blah, blah, blah". Not once once did he sound irritated, very respectful throughout. Told us "this is a good car, 9/10. And I've been in this business a long time!" Well sure enough, he was spot on, when we came to peep things out. Friendly greeting and cordial interaction the whole time. We wanted the car, and Mr. Mario and Mr. Ernie were both reasonable chaps as we worked the details out with them. No after market nonsense added in. Nice thing is that they wanted make sure everything was up to snuff before We drove it off. So we had to come back a few days later. They kept their word on everything they said. There was even a warranty offered with our car and when we found a few issues, the warranty was honored without issue. I COULD NOT BE ANY HAPPIER the way this experience went. Thank you Gentlemen! It was a pleasure! VERY EASY RECOMMENDATION! If they have a car you are interested in, definitely worth your time! ;)

I just want to say that the negative comments on yelp don't make sense because I thought the people…read morethat helped me out, which were Chris and Tim, were such a big help! I came to test drive the Hyundai Santa Fe and the Honda CR-V and ended up buying the Honda. Chris was so sweet and patient with me. He also put the car to the side for me for abt week so I could get the money together and most of all he gave me a great deal out the door that I feel I could not beat at any other dealership. Paperwork and all was super easy and quick! Tim was helpful in introducing me to someone that could could install a new touchscreen radio. Overall, a great place to get a great deal. I love my car! Thankyou!

If you are considering purchasing a car here, RUN!…read more Chris seemed like a very honest and sincere person but when the car I purchased began having issues caused by their team overfilling my oil, things changed. At first, he appeared to want to make this right. I purchased this car for around $6,000. Chris said it had likely caused an issue with the turbo and said he would offer us a great price to have it fixed which I greatly appreciated. He even promised if the problem was still present after, he would not charge us. We got the car back and still the check engine light remained on and black smoke was coming out of the exhaust. I nicely spoke to him several times and even offered that I would take half the money back since times are hard for everyone. My father also tried to contact him and BOTH our numbers are now blocked. I have called the shop multiple times and no calls are returned. The last communication I had nearly a month ago was that Chris needed to do payroll and would let me know. We tried to sell the car back to him and he wouldn't take it. So after barely driving (no more commuting with COVID) and owning the vehicle for about 3 months I had to sell it to CarMax for $2,000. I understand buying a used car comes with risks, but this was a clear case of someone taking advantage and taking my money.. Chris, if you would like to make this right, you know how to reach me (just unblock my number) and I would welcome the chance for you to change my mind on your business practices and ethics.

I just moved to Chula Vista and needed a shop that specializes in MBenz; SB Autohaus came highly…read morerecommended and now I see why they have great reviews! From the initial phone call until I picked it up, the crew at SB Autohaus explained everything they found, the work they needed my approval for to move forward and the detailed pricing that I should expect to see on the invoice. My car sat in my driveway for a couple years bc it was just cheaper to drive my Honda. When I took it in there was some type of leak, the brake fluid was sludge, my wipers were cracked and crusty. They kept my car for two days and replaced all the tubes and fluids that needed replacing. I was pretty adamant about getting new brakes but they said no, drive it around first because there was still a good amount of padding and I wouldn't need brakes for a while still. No upselling, no pushy "you might need this and this and this" like other places, just a clear and concise description of what needs to be done and a checklist of what to look out for in the future. After this experience there are two things I do know - I will probably buy another Benz bc of it's reliability and once it's out of the original factory warranty, I'll take it to SB Autohaus for Service A & B and whatever else needs repair.

I recently took my Mercedes GLC 300 in for a brake pad replacement and battery replacement…read more From the very beginning, customer service was excellent both over the phone and in person. Compared to the dealership, their prices are a great value. I had originally planned to have the work done at the dealership, but after learning about their 20% first-time customer discount, I decided to give them a try. Initially, I only needed my brake pads replaced. However, my car started displaying battery warnings, and both AutoZone and my Mercedes-Benz advisor confirmed that the battery needed to be replaced as well. Since I was already planning to come here for the pads I decided to have both services done here. I dropped my vehicle off around 2:00 PM, and it was ready by 9:00 AM the following morning, which was a very quick turnaround. My only concern came after reviewing the invoice. The total seemed higher than I expected, and after taking a closer look, I realized I had been charged a diagnostic fee for the battery. When I mentioned the warning messages, the staff said they would "check it out." Had I been told they would do a diagnostic to confirm and charge for that, I would have declined it and simply proceeded with the replacement. That said, this experience would not stop me from returning or recommending this shop. The service was professional, the staff was friendly, and the work was completed quickly. My only suggestion is that if you already know exactly what service your vehicle needs, make that very clear upfront so they don't run a diagnostic that is not needed.

I was searching for a specific car model and year in San Diego with a good price and mileage…read more Before driving to LA, I stopped at a dealership in Chula Vista "by accident," and it turned out to be the best find! They had the exact car I was looking for -- same color, year, make -- but even better: a bigger, nicer model with low miles and a great price. Jorge helped us through the process and made me and my husband feel confident and comfortable about our purchase. I explained my bad credit, but with a large down payment, they worked with me, showed me the interest rates from banks that approved me, and made everything smooth and transparent. They also included a 2-year warranty and assured me that if anything went wrong, I could bring it back and they'd take care of it. The car had a clean record and was well maintained, just as they promised. I'm so glad I ended up "on the wrong side" -- this turned out to be the best purchase of the year. Highly recommend this dealership and Jorge for anyone looking for a great car and excellent service!

Best customer service hands down and that is what sealed the deal. Had a few quotes to remove and…read morereplace thermostat housing and sensor. Some were low, some were super high and Santana just hit the mark all around. Went with Santana Auto Group Service center because Chris talked to me like a human being without upselling me anything extra nor trying to get the most money out of my pockets. He identified the issue, explained in detail what needs to be fixed and gave me a reasonable quote. In the end, Chris gave me comfort that the issue was going to be fixed properly and as expected it was. It is really hard now in days to find an honest, truthful, no hassle, customer-comes-first type of customer service in just any field of work. But rest assure Santana Auto Group Service center is not one them. They earned my time, money, and respect so they are my new go-to auto service shop.
