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 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 purchased a one off travel trailer and it was pretty simple because I came in with cash and a trade but, Mike made it as seamless as possible and I'm happy with the purchase. The coach came with a toasted battery and needed to be cleaned but since it had sat a while that's okay but... when asked if they could swap the cost of a new battery for the cost of the registration fees I got zero replies to the question.

It's been over 2 weeks and did not receive a call back. I then called a different dealership who was able to help turns out I didn't have to use in house financing.

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.

They give you the sense of trust in their service. They clearly explained everything that they were going to do to find the leak and then explained what needed to be repaired to fix the leak. The repair was done really well and it only took one day and I also found the price to be very fair. Appointments must be made for all repairs. Many thanks to Brent and Alex for their help and service to get my car up and running smoothly. They really care about their customers and will do everything possible to make sure your car repairs are done correctly. This is my favorite repair shop and I would definitely recommend South Bay Auto Haus to anyone in need of Mercedes car repairs.

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!

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.
