DO NOT TRUST THIS DEALERSHIP -- Especially if you're a first-time buyer…read more I had a terrible experience at Prestige Autos in Bakersfield, CA. I was misled, rushed, and sold a car that ended up costing me hundreds more than I expected. First, the dealer outright LIED to me about the insurance coverage. I was told it was full coverage -- I asked multiple times to be sure -- and he confidently said yes. Turns out, it was not full coverage. I had to immediately add liability myself, which cost me another $200 on top of the $300 I already paid for his fake "coverage." Second, the car itself was in bad shape. Here's what I dealt with right after driving off the lot: * Tires and brakes were so worn they had to be replaced almost immediately. * Engine and cabin filters were filthy. * The electric gas cap lock didn't work. * Cupholder was missing. * Back seat was loose. * Driver's seat had a stain that will never come out. * Headlights and taillights started going out within days. * Oh, and the entire car smelled like baby poop. To make matters worse, they didn't even bother to clean the car before giving it to me. No detail, no care. And when I brought up the price, I was told they "don't do deals." No flexibility, no honesty, no concern for the customer. I'm a first-time buyer, and I walked in just wanting a decent car -- instead, I got taken advantage of and left with a car that's costing me way more than it should have. Save yourself the headache. Don't go here. Everyone I interacted with gave me the same dishonest vibe. The staff seemed more interested in rushing the sale than being honest.

I definitely recommend this dealer if your looking for quality autos. 5 stars

I'm genuinely confused by the number of positive reviews for this dealership, because my experience…read morewas extremely unpleasant and unprofessional. Alex, the salesperson, was polite enough, but the finance representative was openly hostile. The interaction between them quickly felt like a good-cop / bad-cop routine. When I asked basic questions about loan terms, the finance representative spoke to me in a belittling, aggressive manner and repeatedly insisted that my 730 credit score "wasn't good," which is simply not true. This wasn't firmness or professionalism -- it was unnecessarily rude and demeaning. Asking reasonable financial questions should not result in being talked down to or pressured. The vehicle was priced at $13,500 (still up for sale, as of now), and I was quoted a 23% interest rate. The Carfax report showed three owners, consistent maintenance, and no major red flags, presenting the car as overall well-maintained and reliable. Before arriving, I confirmed multiple times -- including directly with Alex -- that an independent pre-purchase inspection from an outside mechanic would be allowed. I repeated this again in person and made it clear I would not buy any vehicle without one. They very reluctantly agreed. Once my mechanic arrived and the inspection began, the finance representative's demeanor changed immediately. The sudden shift from aggressive to overly friendly was noticeable and uncomfortable. Within about 10 minutes, after inspecting only one side of the vehicle, the mechanic identified approximately $3,400-$4,500 in necessary repairs. According to the mechanic, these issues would not be obvious to the average buyer and appeared to have been cosmetically covered. I will be posting a photo of the inspection results with this review. I walked away from the deal. If you're considering buying here, protect yourself and insist on an independent pre-purchase inspection before signing anything. Spending around $125 upfront can potentially save you thousands. I personally recommend GG Mobile Mechanic.

Friendly service, but most of their inventory are salvage or have been in accidents. I've been…read morelooking for a car for a few months now and I decided to check their site because I used to live in the neighborhood across the street. I was interested in a Honda Fit at about $7k. The site said it had a clear title, but first thing I am told is it's a salvage and I wouldn't be able to finance it. I already didn't want it after hearing it's salvaged, but it was disappointing to come all that way when they could have filled out the info correctly on the site. ‍ I then was told which cars could be financed, so I checked out the Toyota Matrix they have (and they still have both of these cars). I test drove it, it seemed okay, but my sister was in the passenger seat and when she closed her door she noticed an odd sound as if it had been damaged. What do you know? We got the Carfax and it had been in an accident that affected the front and sides. ‍ Overall, the people I spoke to were friendly and weren't forceful in trying to get me to put money down on either of the cars I was interested in. I just wish they could fill in their information for each vehicle entry correctly on their site. Besides seeing the title status, the only way to know the Carfax is to go down there and have them show it to you to.

The next business day, a seller named Nicho reached out to me. We talked on the phone about my situation & what I would need to be able to walk with this truck. We went over credit, co-signer, down payment, deposit & questions regarding the vehicle. Nicho was able to get me approved with no cosigner & a monthly payment that I am comfortable with & a down payment I was comfortable with. When I arrived to the dealership, they had the truck ready for me to test drive. After a test drive, I was sure this is the vehicle I wanted. Signing paperwork & paying a down payment was simple & went by fairly fast. The experience of buying through this dealership was a great one. Thank you to Nicho for helping me during this process. The vehicle has not given me any problems. I was able to drive it home from Bakersfield about two hours away. I took my truck to my mom's over the weekend another two hours away & the drive was a great one. I did take it to my personal mechanic & after a look, he let me know the truck was in good shape & I picked a good one. I couldn't be happier. Thank you Deal Time!

If the vehicle isn't in your area you pay a non refundable $99 to have it delivered. I received texts and emails from start to finish about the progress. When the vehicle arrives a 125 point check is done. You have a report on ownership & car history. Even though my vehicle is still under dealer warranty I opted for the 5 year CarMax warranty as well because it covers so much. CarMax also has car repair on sight. Since I bought a Hybrid this is especially appealing because other wise it means going to a dealership or finding a certified hybrid repair business. Vishav was my sales rep today. So friendly and helpful, I can't say enough about how helpful he was. He made my car buying experience easy and stress free. I had wanted to buy locally but they just didn't have the inventory of hybrids that I was looking for. CarMax has all the inventory you could want. I highly recommend CarMax for purchasing used vehicles.
