    Huge dent where someone stabbed the car then scraped it along the top.

    Horrible business practices. Called in prior. Asked about the price. Checked if there were dealer options installed that would add to the price. Answered me 3 times, no. Estimated APR? Around 3.5%. I want to know up front what to expect. Drove a hour in LA traffic. Showed up. Mandatory "tracker" I would get "access" to as an dealer added device. 3k non-negotiable. Okay fine. I know you have to make money. Checked out the car? Obvious accident damage to the front bumper. Hood was key'd. Huge dent over the passenger side door. Like someone stabbed it and pulled it all along the top. Side of the car key'd. 0% EV charge. Low 12v battery warning. But don't worry though. It "passed" the 124 point inspection.

    I bought a 2018 Honda Civic EX with Lima and honestly couldn't be happier. The whole process was super smooth and easy, no pressure, no weird vibes. Lima was cool, helpful, and straight up from start to finish, which made everything stress-free. The car was exactly what I was looking for and in great condition. If you're trying to buy a car without the headache, I'd definitely recommend working with Lima. Solid experience all around.

    I came in at 12pm on 11/11 carless, & walked out at 4:00pm with a 2013 Benz ML350 !!!! I was greated, checked in, & seen within 15 minutes with Mr Neyar, whom felt like family, each department actually really felt like family in a way because they're not just trying to make a sale. They care, & want to see you win & that's exactly what they did for me. This dealership MAKES it possible for you to get a car. good/bad credit, they give OPTIONS. Showcasing a great selection to choose from within my budget. TIP: Please dont have high expectations outside the means of YOUR budget, otherwise, yeah you may not have the experience you expected. They offer in house financing which really helped me achieve getting a car, they do have the option to go through the bank if you prefer as well. Financing was easy breezy & stress free! Cashier was so sweet I wish I got her name but she was lovely.

    I don't even know where to begin. I've never written a review before, but what I experienced at CarWorld in Hawthorne, CA was so unbelievably bad that I feel obligated to warn anyone even thinking about going there. I drove over an hour and a half through traffic with cash in hand, ready to buy a 1992 Lexus SC400 that they had listed online. The photos weren't perfect, but they were close enough to make the trip worth it. I even scheduled an appointment for 7:15 PM to make things easy and professional. The moment I arrived, I realized I'd made a mistake. The car looked nothing like the pictures -- completely misrepresented. But fine, I was still willing to take a look and test drive it. Then came the so-called "salesman," one of the rudest, most arrogant people I've ever dealt with in my life. He treated me like I was wasting his time the moment I asked to test drive the car -- as if showing interest in their own inventory was some sort of inconvenience. When I mentioned paying cash, he snapped, "Cash or financing?" in the most dismissive tone imaginable, like I wasn't even worth talking to. Then he told me something that honestly sounded like a joke -- a mandatory $2,500 "tracking device" fee that cannot be removed and is apparently only charged if you pay cash. Let that sink in. They literally punish you for paying upfront. What kind of shady, back-alley business practice is that? And to top it all off, the car that was listed for one price online was nearly triple the cost in person. It's pure bait-and-switch. Everything about this place screams deception, disrespect, and outright greed. CarWorld isn't a dealership -- it's a scam dressed up as a business. They lure people in with fake prices, treat customers like garbage, and then try to trap you with ridiculous, made-up fees. I went in with genuine intention to buy that night, and left feeling completely disgusted and insulted. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy. If you value your time, your money, or your sanity -- stay as far away from CarWorld Hawthorne as possible.

    2500 sucker tax on any thing you buy Then called it a gps fee Still not a bad deal but 11.5k for a 2015 S550 is not what's advertised as 8k

This has happened to us more than once, but the most recent issue involve the fuel filter for a 2025 freightliner. I provided the van and still received the wrong part. After realizing it would not fit I called their parts call center. Thankfully the gentleman I spoke with their actually took the time to investigate the issue. He explained that for whatever reason the factory parts information has not fully caught up with the 2025 model and that the listed fuel filter can be a mismatch. He was able to give me an alternative part number that would actually fit the truck. When I returned to Carson location, the employee at the register was extremely dismissive. I have to specifically ask for a manager and then explain to the manager what their own call center representative had already figured out. Even then, there was a little reluctance to issue the refund. They also claimed the filter had been caught" used I installed it in good faith because I have been given the part number based on my VIN and was told they was correct. Of course the fuel filter may get a little oily during the attempted installation, but it was never actually used in service. Eventually they agreed to refund it, but after reviewing everything when I got home, it appears I may have only received a partial refund. For a business like The Tire Guy our service truck need to be ready and available to work the downtime caused by given the incorrect part and not once but repeatedly is costly and frustrating. My advice, double check every part number yourself even if they look it up using your VIN based on our recent experiences, I would highly recommend trying another velocity location or another park supplier altogether

    All I'm going to say is make sure your mileage and fuel are correct on your contract.  This woman…read more(Cheryl) put on the contract that the mileage was 2470, when it was really 2484.  When i returned the truck, it was at 2489. For some reason, when taking the picture,  only the 84 showed and not the 24 in front of it.  So now I'm being charged for 20 miles when I literally drove less than 5 miles for the entire use: Uhaul to Destination 1.9 miles Destination to Home 1.4 miles Home to Uhaul 0 6 miles BUT I'M BEING CHARGED FOR 20 MILES!! Next issue: My pickup time was 9:30am... I got there a little early,  Cheryl was helping another customer, and when she began to help me, she realized the keys weren't there. She called an employee, and he had taken the keys home on accident, so I had to wait for him to bring the keys back because there were no more trucks that I could use.  I had scheduled a person from Taskrabbit to meet me at the destination at 10am, so I had to attempt to change the schedule with him because I had to wait for keys. The employee finally showed up around 10am. Luckily, my destination was about 2 miles away so I ended up not being too late.  Still, this was an inconvenience.  It just seems that the first thing you would do as a business is make sure you were prepared for the next day,  but I understand that every day isn't perfect.  I was also charged for furniture pads that I didn't receive,  but I contacted customer service and was refunded. MAKE SURE YOU DO THE ONLINE CHECK IN YOURSELF AND SUBMIT BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE PREMISES.  TAKE PICTURES OF EVERYTHING!! I will NEVER use this particular location again because when I asked Cheryl about the online check-in,  she told me that I didn't have to do it because SHE HAD DONE IT ALREADY.  Because I was already running late,  I trusted her and just said Ok and left.  THAT WAS THE DUMBEST THING I COULD'VE DONE!! I'M MAD AT MYSELF BECAUSE I KNOW BETTER!! ***BLACK OWNED BUSINESSES NEED TO DO BETTER***
