We had a really great experience with purchasing a car for my daughter from Yoshi. We were coming from about 2 hours away but he spend the time communicating throughout the week to ensure everything would go smoothly upon arrival. He also doesn't typically work Saturdays but made it happen. The car is in great shape, good price and exactly how it was advertised. read more

Bayside Auto - Auto Repair Near Me - San Diego, California

Our 22yrs old vehicle failed the smog check for Registration Renewal as a first time. Yoshi diagnosed, explained, and honestly quoted (while another shop showed a lot more & upselling). Yoshi repaired it to pass the test, and we also asked him to replace tires & alignment. The total bill was less than the other one (quote only for repairs) ! And our vehicle drives very nice now! read more

Honest and friendly service. They did a fantastic job fixing my bumper and headlights for a good price.

I recently inquired about a nice Nissan Skyline GTR at this dealership and I have to say, I've never been to a place with such amazing customer service! Hiro and Yoshi are very accommodating to all my questions and went above and beyond to set an appointment based around my schedule! They were both upfront about the car and told me everything about its history! Their collection is amazing and they are very honest and ethical about everything they sell! I highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a vehicle, whether it's their dream car or the daily driver! Thank you Hiro and Yoshi! read more

I recently bought a new car from these guys a couple of weeks ago. In a world where there are many mechanics, autobody shops, and dealerships who's main goal is to sell cars despite their quality, these guys stand alone. Hiro and Yoshi are two very ethical, classy men who work to take care of their customers above all else. I consider myself insanely blessed to have found them, and the car I bought is an amazing vehicle which will last me forever. I will for sure be continuing to give these two my business, and I recommend everyone does the same. read more

This review is long overdue. I bought my Mazda at Bayside Auto a couple of years ago, and the experience could not have been more pleasant. We never felt pressured, which is rare when you are car shopping, the price was reasonable and agreed upon, and Hiro handled the financial part very efficiently. After the purchase, the maintenance service has been excellent, I am always able to schedule an appointment at a convenient time, and Yoshi is skillful, knowledgeable and courteous. Yoshi and Hiro are very polite and friendly professionals and it is a pleasure to recommend their business. Arigato gozaimasu! read more

ここで車を購入しましたが、相場で約２０００ドル程度の車を約８０００ドルで買わされました。しかも、ずっと点検している車といいながらエンジンオイルがほとんど空の状態で、点検すらしていない状態で納車されていました。しかもこの車には事故歴があったにもかかわらず、そのことについての説明もありませんでした。それらのことを伝え、車を返品する旨を伝えたら、逆に居直られました。サンディエゴ在住の日本人の方々からの評判も悪く、よい評判を聞くことがありません。いわゆるぼったくり業者で有名みたいです。なぜ、ここまでの星の数がついているのか意味が分かりません。 アメリカで中古車を買うときは、Kelly blue book(https://www.kbb.com/）で相場を調べることができますし、車のVINナンバーを教えてもらったら（教えてもらえないところからは買わない方がいいです。）、車のヒストリーも調べるサイトもあり、ここで事故歴なども簡単に調べることができます。これらで調べるといかにこの会社の価格が相場とかけ離れているかがわかります。仮にここで車を買う場合でも、事前にこの程度の調査はしてからにしたほうがいいです。 特に、日本人の駐在員の方々、このような業者にだまされないでくださいね。 I bought a car here and was charged about $8,000 for a car that cost about $2,000 at market price. The car was delivered with the engine oil almost empty and not even inspected, even though they said the car had been inspected for a long time. Furthermore, even though the car had been in an accident, there was no explanation about it. When I told them that I wanted to return the car, they were very rude to me. They have a bad reputation among Japanese people living in San Diego, and I have never heard good things about them. They seem to be famous as a so-called rip-off company. I don't understand why they have so many stars. When you buy a used car in the US, you can check the market price at Kelly blue book (https://www.kbb.com/), or if you are given the VIN number of the car (you should not buy from a place where you are not given the VIN number). You can also look up the history of the car on their website, where you can easily find out if the car has been in an accident or not. You can also check the history of the car on their website, where you can easily find out the history of accidents, etc. These checks will tell you how far the company's prices are from the market. Even if you buy a car here, you should do this level of research beforehand. In particular, Japanese expatriates, please do not be deceived by these companies. read more

Very loyal customer service and superior professional work! They ARE very perfectionist for what they do. They kept me posted when the auto parts will be delivered so that they could start fixing my car which I found it so important at the time...during 'the PANDEMIC' when we had automotive parts shortage issues. So for that reason itself I was very stressed out, I had no idea how long it's gonna take...Then guess what? they offered me a nice rental car for me to drive around meanwhile. Who does that? Bayside auto. They DO care their customers very much. Thank you so much all over, Bayside auto! read more

We bought a 2006 Toyota Sienna LE from Bayside Auto. The test drive went well and they worked with us with the deposit. We were happy when we picked up our van, until we heard a clicking noise on turns and a grinding noise when you have stuff in the cargo area. Turns out it needs a right front axle and might need struts. These were probably things they should have taken care of before they sold it. I thought they were more honest than most places based on their ratings and good comments but, we aren't so happy with them because we have only had the van a week and already taking it to a mechanic. read more

This is my best favorite automotive shop in San Diego now. I have been a customer for several years I have never regretted what I have done with them. Everybody there is professional friendly. Quick response, reliable job, fair price, helpful advices , highly quality customer service!! I highly recommend this place . read more

I very highly recommend Bayside Auto! I found them through their listing of a low mileage, extremely clean, and well priced Toyota Prius on Cars.com. After coming in to the shop to view it, I found the car to be just as described online, if not in better condition. After two months of ownership, it still operates without any flaws. The small staff at Bayside Auto were able to tell me exactly where the car came from, as they themselves bought it from the original owners. The mechanic carefully detailed my car up until the moment I drive it off the lot. He also gave some good advice on maintenance and encouraged me to come back if I needed any service. I was so impressed with my experience at Bayside Auto that I later took a family member back to sell their own car. We were able to sell it to Bayside at a very competitive price. Once again, the service was great. Now, this is the place for my whole family. From my understanding, Bayside Auto is also a fully functioning mechanic shop that largely services classic cars. I think this, alongside the small staff, explains the high quality of their dealership service, as they have knowledgeable mechanics on-site and aren't flogging cars they don't know or care about. Bayside Auto is a local small business, and you can tell immediately when you go there why that's a good thing. I highly recommend going here over a large corporate dealership. read more

I drove 200+ miles here to buy by son a car. Well worth the drive. Very friendly, fast, great quality, and amazing deal. I have had the car for over a month with not one problem. Still can't believe the professional service and great deal. read more

Bayside Auto - Auto Repair Near Me - San Diego, California

See all

I have purchased several cars here and it has been a very easy process and no hassle! I first purchased a S2000 with low miles and it was basically a brand new car. I then had kids and he bought it back from me a couple years later for only a couple thousand less than what I paid for it. I then got an Acura mdx that had no issues. Since then i have sold the mdx back and leased a subaru forester and subaru ascent. As a repeat customer i think the paperwork for the past couple leases took under 5 minutes! I have referred friends and family and they have all thanked me for the recommendation. They have the best customer service and it is not common to find a car dealership you can trust. I highly recommend Bayside Auto! read more

Hiro was very helpful and professional when I was interested in a used car for sale at Bayside Auto. He was very responsive and answered all of my questions. I was able to go there right away and test drive the car. All in all Hiro and the team and Bayside made the experience of buying a car so easy and simple and stress free and I did not have to deal with the aggressive salesman type person. I also now take the car I bought from Bayside to them for oil changes and services because their customer service is excellent and I never have to wait. I highly recommend Bayside for buying cars and for car services for their excellent customer service and because I actually trust the work they do. read more

I bought an 03 miata from these guys. I spent months looking at all different Miatas all around San Diego and Los Angeles and look at about a total of 6 cars. I even almost found a mazdaspeed miata I liked out in east county but it was not in the best shape. Each car I looked at I had to compromise. One car I might need to fix something with the engine block, another car I would have had to get all of the rust out of the radiator and who knows where else. Here I found the best miata NB that was in the best condition I could find. Pretty much the only problem was a motor in the mirror being broken and the factory radio not displaying its digital output correctly. I worked primarily with Hiro who pointed out all of these above issues out to me from the beginning, let me inspect the car all over, and took me out on a test drive where he drove the car and had me drive the car. The buying process was easy, straight forward, and the autoshop took care of all of the paperwork involving the DMV. In addition to the above, everyone who works at the shop is friendly, always picks up the phone, and is extremely trustworthy and professional. I felt this way from the very first time I stepped into their auto shop. They have some amazing cars on display in the front, have even more amazing cars in the back, and(while I was there) had customers happy and smiling as they paid for repairs on their cars. (I believe the woman I saw my first day there was having a honda minivan being worked on). The last time I was at the shop to pick up my license plates and registration, a happy customer driving a mazda 3 was leaving the shop. It has now been a month since I have bought my Miata from the Autoshop. I am about to go to a track meet, I have parts coming in the mail, and I am extremely happy about my purchase. I can honestly say I will go back to them when ever I need work done on my car. Pictures soon to come. read more

I've been a customer here for I think 8 years or so. Yoshi and his team are always very professional, honest, and friendly. They definitely put customer service first and treat my cars as if they owned them. I have Japanese, domestic, and European cars and they have always done a great job with all of them... and for a very fair price as well. Plus the showroom in the front is comfortable with some interesting classic cars to enjoy. I highly recommend them. read more

I was in need of an oil change and found this one online. I was hesitant to come to this shop because I had never been or heard of it, but it was such a pleasant experience. I called right as they opened and they said come on by. They always suggest making an appointment to make sure you aren't waiting. The gentleman on the phone was very helpful and the mechanic was fantastic too. I ended up waiting for a solid 45 minutes and paid less than $60. They checked everything in my car and told me what I needed to look out for in the future. These guys are awesome and you will not be disappointed! read more

The owner of Bayside Auto Group was buying a 1959 Cadillac to re sell for more money, which he later told us he was doing, put his deposit down on a negotiated price (negotiation number 1) then called back and renegotiated the price because he assumed the car had air conditioning, which we did not advertise that it did, we helped with the cost and lowered our price once again for him to be able to put in AC (negotiation number 2). He then waited until his seventh day to fly to Denver to inspect the car which we suggest. He was given all of the receipts that came with the car from the restoration almost 200 pages and about three inches of documents. He selectively went through to try to find repairs without receipts in order to negotiate once again, we had already lowered the price twice we let him know we would not lower it again. He then left without confirming he wanted to buy the car. The next morning on the eighth day he called in to try to renegotiate once again asking for an additional $4,000 off, this was not ethical. Simply Bayside Auto Group was trying to work as a middle man to make money, got greedy and was not sold the vehicle. He is now frustrated that he negotiated himself out of the vehicle. His client would be very disappointed if they ever figure out why they do not own the car. Lastly even though he was a day past his seven deposit we refunded his deposit to help with his flight cost. Do not work with this company as a buyer or a seller as they will not get you the vehicle you want or for B2B will take up your time, your staffs time, and are unethical to work with. Know that Hiro is not honest and will not be open with purchase prices of cars if you are using him. The vehicle was sold to the next buyer as Hiro had went past his deposit term and tried to re negotiate once again, he then was extremely difficult and complained about how he was entitled to the car. This is the last time I will do business with Bayside Auto Group. Partner Worldwide Vintage Autos. Thank you. read more
