I recently experienced an engine fire due to wiring issues in my old Nissan Maxima, totaling the vehicle. I was in desperate need of a new vehicle - quickly. I experienced the pains and stresses of dealing with the Harbor and Beach Boulevards of Cars. Ultimately, in fairly short order, I was blessed to find Carwest on the web. I worked with Mina Shafik on finding a replacement. The only frustration I had during the entire process was that if I didn't act very quickly, the car was gone. The quality of their entire inventory of vehicles is the best I have ever encountered for used vehicles. I eventually purchased a Toyota Highlander. This was not what I had in mind when I began my search, but the condition and quality was something I couldn't turn down (and it would likely be gone quickly if I didn't act). I've since received many compliments regarding how clean and well maintained the auto is. With respect to the buying process itself, I found both Mina and Michael to be highly professional and very low pressure. They don't have to be high pressure - their vehicles speak for themselves. I felt Mina dealt fairly and honestly and clearly was highly experienced and well versed in the transfer process. It went exceedingly smooth, quickly and efficiently. Mina was very patient and took the time to answer all my questions and then some. Afterwards he followed up after locating an extra key and remote. Carwest is truly the diamond in the rough amongst used car dealers and I would recommend them above all. And my dad was in the business for over forty years. read more

Can't say enough good things about Carwest! We drove all the way up from San Diego to buy a car from Mina and Maykel and it paid off. After searching for the right car for weeks and feeling like we couldn't trust the big dealerships to be honest and fair with us, and feeling like private party was just too risky, we trusted the reviews on Carwest and made the drive. They stayed late on a Saturday evening waiting for us to get through traffic, had the car all ready to go and beautifully detailed, answered every question honestly, made us feel so comfortable, and were just so darn nice. There was no sales pitch - it was so straight forward and by far the easiest car buying experience we've ever had. They knew the car was a good car and if we liked it, they wanted us to have it. That took so much pressure off. Their pricing is totally fair, and we walked away feeling like we had gotten a great deal on a great car. I don't anticipate needing a new car anytime soon, but we will for sure check back with these guys if ever the need arises - and make the 75 min drive again! It's so worth it to deal with someone I can trust! Thanks guys! read more

Buy your used cars here! At Carwest, they make it their mission to help you find a reliable, affordable car. Not only do they have a partnership with Carfax and offer a free report, but Carwest allows you to bring a mechanic to check out their vehicles, so you know that they have nothing to hide. You can buy one of their used cars with cash-in-hand or put a down payment and use their offered financing. Carwest has a 12 month and 12,000 mile warranty on all their vehicles that covers all major aspects of a car, including but not limited to: transmission, engine group, electrical group and more! When I came to Carwest on 11-1-12, I had a very positive experience with my boyfriend in finding an affordable vehicle. Not only did they offer the same price for a Honda-CRV that was unfortunately sold, for another Honda-CRV that had fewer miles! We compromised and found just what we were looking for with no hassles and found ourselves walking away with our new used vehicle. Ask for Mina and tell him I sent you! read more

CarWest LLC does it right. Their cars are fairly priced, clean, and in good condition. Mina was especially helpful. My wife and I were moving from San Francisco to HB and she really needed a second car. Mina was so accommodating: he met my mother and sister and let them test drive the car in our place on Saturday, then on Sunday he came with us and waited at our mechanic's shop for 2hrs while they gave it a thorough inspection. Not only did the car pass with flying colors, Mina was very nice and patient the whole time. All that, plus a good 1-year Honda warranty included in the price, had us convinced. We sat down and bought the car straight away. They even let us use their printer so our insurance provider could get us an updated proof-of-insurance before we left the lot! :) Thank you, Maykel & Mina!!! read more

My wife & I were searching for a specific vehicle/mileage/model year that would meet our needs, as well as our price range. I was impressed to find this combination on the website of CarWest LLC, when searching for CarFax certified sellers. Michael responded to my emails very promptly, which I appreciated. When I came to check out the car, he was patient, and did not pressure me in any way (a very pleasant surprise, for a used-car-buying experience!) When it came time for completing the transaction, again I encountered patience, friendliness, & no pressure. I would say that, all things considered, the experience of buying our used car with Michael B. at CarWest was about as pleasant as could be expected. Recommended doing business with this firm. read more

SAVE YOUR TIME!!! If you are liking one of this dealer's inventory, I truly recommend that you pick up your phone and call these guys quick. I am telling, the deal is too good to be true. The car is nice and clean and the price is easily negotiable. 10 minutes of paperwork, and boom you go home with your new beautiful vehicle. Then what else can you ask from a dealership. And while reading this comment, you are wasting your time and someone else is calling them already, so please stop and call these guy now. No, I am serious, stop please XD. read more

We worked with Mina Shafik and Michael Bakhoum to buy a pre-own Camry. The guys were super helpful, really chill yet professional when it comes to paperwork. They let us test drive the car a couple times, which I absolutely appreciate. They explain all documents thoroughly and are knowledgeable with this stuff. We decided to get the car from them. They also offer a really decent warrantee on their cars. The whole process was as stress-free as it can get for buying a car, but luckily Mina and Michael made it a lot easier. read more

Bought a very nice, clean car from them for a good and fair price! They are upfront, honest, efficient, friendly, did not push, and no pressure. I was concerned that they would live up to the sheisty dealership stereotype, but they were quite the opposite. They're very open and didn't hide anything. Did not waste my time or my money. There were a few minor deficiencies with this car but they were happy to work with me on how I wanted to deal with them before purchasing. Over all, I had an excellent experience! read more

My wife and I just purchased a used Toyota Sienna from Carwest. They were courteous, knowledgeable, and patient with us throughout the entire transaction. We looked at several vehicles, and every one of them in great condition. It was apparent that they take pride in the vehicles they sell as the vehicles were immaculate, inside and out. This was a great used car buying, and was completely hassle free. I recommend Carwest to anyone looking for a vehicle. read more

I recently bought a Toyota Sienna from Carwest , I can't believe that there is a car dealer that do care about their customers that much and they offer warranty on my car as a gift even though they had the cheapest price on my search, when I offer them cash they give me more discount, professional and nice people , I'm definitely recommending them to everyone I know. :) And for my vetinames fellows : Carwest rt thành tht và giá c phi chăng. read more

I found Carwest off of CarGurus. Michael and Mina were amazing at helping me with the whole car process. They both were very nice and explained in detail every question that I had. The car is in great shape and I will most likely be writing another review about the excellence of the car. read more
