Chris and Gavin are so professional! They communicate very well! They answered all my questions prior to selling my car. They are direct and on time! I'm happy with how fast and smooth the process went! Thank you guys! read more

Car Czar is so easy to work with. Chris was straightforward and clear with the process, explaining steps involved, and no games with the offer amount. From when I reached out, to getting the car inspected and paid, it probably took 2hrs total. They even came to meet me while I was out doing errands in the area. This was my second experience working with them, and will not be my last. read more

I went to Carvana and CarMax to get a price for my car. As everyone knows, the dealership will low-ball the heck out of you on your trade in. I remembered seeing Car Czar's truck on the street advertising they will beat CarMax. Sure enough, they did. Next time, I wouldn't bother going to Carvana, they were substantially lower. read more

Fantastic experience, selling our car to these folks. Gavin was tremendous I highly recommend using them.

the dedication to securing you as a customer is unmatched. Chris and Gavin work hard to earn your trust and seal the deal. They are quick, detailed, hard working and FAST! I would recommend them to anyone! Thanks for saving me from Carmmax! read more

1It's been awhile since I've had such an incredibly uplifting, productive, and seamless transaction--indeed working with Chris and Gavin doesn't feel like a transaction at all! I called Car Czar after seeing their van nearby while I was procrastinating selling my Subaru and avoiding CarMaxx. Their rave reviews confirmed by instinct that seeing the van was a "sign" I could sell my car for the best possible deal and actually feel good about it. My hopeful expectations were exceeded! I can't recommend them highly enough. Selling a car is huge undertaking and stressful no matter what, but Gavin and Chris made it feel like I was selling to family. They are fast, thorough, trustworthy and honest, from start to finish, and bring warmth and ease to their customers. I wish I had another car to sell and would recommend them over private party any day, simply bc working with them is paying it forward. We all benefit when gratitude and appreciation flow in business, and these guys are stellar examples of how to do business that adds value beyond the monetary exchange. Do yourself a favor and sell your car the Car Czar way! read more

Gavin and Chris are absolutely awesome, very fair, and unequivocally understanding!!! This is my 3rd car I've sold to them. Lve doing business with them!!! read more

After getting an offer from Carmax I checked out Driveo and Car Czar. Driveo gave me an offer that seemed too good to be true.. but I entertained it anyway and spent an hour driving there and an hour getting it appraised before I received a lowball offer. As I was sitting there in my frustration, Gavin and Chris from Car Czar texted me following up. They shot me an offer over text that was better than Carmax and I accepted. I met up with Gavin and the whole process took 15 minutes. Great service. Thanks guys! read more

Gavin beat my competing offers and made the process convenient and enjoyable. He came to me, made me an offer within 15 minutes, and didn't play any games. No waiting, no "talk to my manager", no bait and switch. I highly recommend the Car Czar. read more

Car Czar Auto Sales made the sale of my car fast, efficient, and painless. Highly recommend.

I've seen the CAR CZAR trucks parked on the street for many years and only spoken to Gavin the owner once or twice in the past but now he's expanded with a staff and it couldn't have been a more smooth experience to sell our classic VW BEETLE even though it wasn't in perfect shape, Gavin made this not only enjoyable, but really explained to me why this was the best move and I couldn't have agree more...he saved me time energy and gave a really fair price for our beloved bug. Bravo for so many great reviews!!! I'm honored to be number 400! read more

Just sold my car to Car Czar and had another great experience! This is actually my second time working with them--they bought my Lexus a couple years ago, and I didn't hesitate to reach out again when I needed to sell another vehicle. The process was super smooth, fair, and fast. They're honest, easy to work with, and clearly care about building long-term relationships with their clients. I always appreciate how stress-free they make the whole experience. If you're looking to sell your car and want a team you can trust, I definitely recommend giving Car Czar a call. I'll be using them again in the future! read more

I had some issues with my car but Chris and Gavin made everything easier for me and I got a good offer too!

04-27-2024 Best car buyers in the whole san diego!!!! If anyone out there needs to sell their car or even trade it into a dealership, please think twice, or please DON'T. CAR CZAR is here for you. 3rd time selling a vehicle to them and they always beat car max price or they price match them. The last car i sold is a 2020 honda insight. Hyundai dealer offer 14k, kia dealer offered 16k, carmax offer is 17600. Kbb average price is 18100. I already know that anywhere i go, no one can give me the kbb price. So obviously, you guys know how much it was the highest offer. They priced matched it, with no hassle. They go to your house, check the status of your car and chiching, a fat check for you. Thanks a lot Chris, for the timely communication and to Gavin, for the easy transaction. LET'S GO "CAR CZAR" read more

Everything was Super quick and easy. They were helpful and knowledgeable. I highly recommend them.

2nd time selling with Gavin and Chris. Just as easy and pleasant as the first. Both times significantly beat the Carmax price. Gavin and Chris are extremely nice and professional and make the process just too easy not to consider them when selling a car. Gavin handles all the paperwork and paid off the existing loan and cut me a check right on the spot. HIGHLY recommend but get your carmax quote first.. he will beat it!! read more

I was looking to sell my 2018 Ford Mustang, 4 cylinder, automatic, blue, coupe, and 25,500 miles. Used Car prices aren't as high as they used to be, but its still a good time to sell. I went to a few dealerships as I didn't want to deal with a private party sale for a car worth over $20K...I was worried about getting scammed or my car even getting stolen. With 250+ 5 Star Yelp reviews, I gave Car Czar a chance... Kearney Mesa Subaru $18000...WTF? Poway Honda offered $19500(I also didn't like their sales people passive aggressively trying to indirectly tell me I'm an idiot for not taking their "fair" offer) Kearney Mesa Subaru $18000...WTF? Mossy Ford offered $20,000 Carvana offered $20,500 Carmax offered $21,000 Car Czar offered $21,300 after showing them my Carmax offer. I gave Car Czar call, the friendly lady(Christine?) had Gavin come out to my house in less than 2 hours to see the Mustang. Gavin spent maybe 10 minutes with my Mustang, and promptly offered the $21,300. An hour later Christine came and handed me a Chase Bank cashier's check and we quickly did the paperwork. Fast and easy! Note 1: I paid $21,500 MSRP for the brand new Mustang back in 2018...not too shabby! Note 2: I wanted to make sure the check cleared my bank before writing this review, haha! read more

Had no idea how to sell a car and the paperwork involved. Gavin and his figured out all the paperwork and title transferring stuff for me to make the entire process seamless and easy. Extremely friendly, personable people and great to do business with. Fair pricing. Highly recommend! read more

Needed to sell my 10-year old car after getting a new one. The dealer was going to offer me almost nothing for trade-in. I was going to check out Carmax or something, but a friend recommended Car Czar, which is local and I hadn't heard of. On the phone they said they probably couldn't beat the online estimate I got from another company online because of the age and mileage (150+K), but they could try to match it or come close. I was happy when they offered a tad more! The whole process was smooth, quick, and friendly. read more

Awesome experience working with Chris and Gavin. Great communication, coordination, and offer. Thanks so much!

Look No Further- Gavin is the man! Adds a ton of value and does what he says- great selection and just a great guy! Thank You! read more
