Mullahey Ford in Arryo Grande does it again, by bringing "the fun" back to the car buying…read moreexperience! This was not my first "go around" here (previously I purchased a used Mini Cooper JCW) but I am happy to report to you, my dearYelp review Readers, that purchasing my latest vehicle (a used Ford F-250 Super Duty Truck) was quite simply "a pleasure". I walked onto the lot not expecting to find a reasonably priced truck (ya...prices today are uncomfortably high...for everything, but especially for vehicles) and there she was...a "just reduced"white F-250 Super Duty Truck, waiting for me to find her. Actually...it was the Mullahey Ford Representative, Jim Beckman, who steered me in the right direction. Jim was exceptional...personable, knowledgeable, very "laidback", friendly and funny. Due to these qualities , our rapport was instantaneous. If you end up looking for a vehicle at this Dealership...find him...it will be worth your time! Within minutes of the introduction to this F-250...my family and I were on a test drive. Needless to say, it went very well. Getting back to the Dealership, Jim was all smiles and asked how the test drive went. I replied...well, it was okay (when in fact, it went fabulously). We both laughed...we also both knew...I wanted that truck! Before purchasing the truck, Jim allowed me to do my "due diligence" and let me take the vehicle to my local mechanic for a total inspection (nice!), which resulted in this F-250 Super Duty Truck getting a clean bill of health and the recommendation from my mechanic of..."at that price, BUY IT!" So....I did! Adrian in the Finance Dept., got me a decent rate for the small loan I needed after my down payment and the deal was done within 4 days (Saturday - Wednesday). The communication, regarding every step of the process was constant...I always knew what was going on. The few concerns that I had with the truck were taken care of, again...with a smile and I am delighted with my purchase. On this occasion (as before), in this Yelper's opinion, Mullahey Ford in Arryo Grande "brought the goods" so to speak, with the right vehicle, price, service and of course Jim Beckman...in order to truly earn this "highly recommend - looking for a vehicle, come on down and have a look" 5 Star review!

I have been shopping for a 2025 or 2026 Ford Maverick (Lariat Hybrid or Tremor) in Oxford White for…read morea couple of weeks, so I know this market pretty well. Early on Monday, June 15, 2026, before the dealership opened, I came across a Facebook Marketplace listing for that truck, lightly used, at Mullahey Ford, priced at $28,840. Facebook showed the ad had been posted Sunday afternoon, and I contacted the dealer within about 22 minutes of their Monday opening -- so the vehicle was almost certainly still available. The salesperson, Charles, told me the deal was real and said he would follow up in about 30 minutes. I clearly confirmed I wanted to buy the truck at the listed price. When Charles called back roughly 30 minutes later, he said the vehicle had already been sold -- hard to believe given the dealership had been open only minutes. When I checked Mullahey Ford's own website, the same truck was (and still is) listed at $39,080. Charles described the $28,840 figure as an "internet error in pricing." I've heard about dealers using this tactic to get people in and claiming it's an inexplicable error. It's inexcusable, and according to Ai and the California DMV, Illegal. I understand pricing mistakes can happen. What concerns me is the sequence: an advertised price, a confirmation that the deal was "real," and then -- within half an hour -- both a claim that the vehicle was sold and the same truck still listed at a price more than $10,000 higher on the dealer's own site. The Facebook ad shows the truck as a 2025 and Lariat is misspelled as Lariet. The dealer website shows the same truck as a 2026 with Lariat spelled correctly. I compared the mileage, color, options, images and it's the same truck. Unfortunately, the dealer left the VIN out of the Facebook ad, but I was able to find the listing on their website. As a buyer acting in good faith, I found the experience disappointing and would caution others to get any advertised price confirmed in writing before relying on it or trusting the dealership. I am composing a complaint with the California DMV, as this seems to be a clear example of bait-and-switch.

Finally back in June, I decided it was too much of a headache to try and maintain it and deal with its eccentricities, so I started shopping around for a decent used car. Initially I was looking for something as cheap as possible off of Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace, but my mother convinced me to look for something in a slightly higher quality range, something reliable and dependable enough for her to borrow to drive down to San Diego and see relatives once or twice a year. And I'm glad she did, because otherwise I probably would have ended up with something nowhere near as nice as the 2015 Volkswagen Passat from Castro Auto Sales that I ended up with. I was waiting to write this review until she and I had been on one such roadtrip, because while it has performed well around town here so far, I knew that would be the real test of it. And it passed with flying colors! So I am very happy with the purchase. The salesman Mo was very straightforward and not high-pressure. He was easy to deal with. My family knows an independent mechanic that we go to frequently when we have an issue with one of our vehicles, and we acquainted ourselves with a friend of his who works at Tom's Auto Service across the street from Castro, and both of them said the same thing: the majority of the car dealerships around here are sketchy and not worth buying from, but Castro is the real deal. I am inclined to agree. The car runs great, it is a smooth and comfortable ride, and I've gotten several compliments on it already! Whenever I am in the market for another vehicle in the future, I am going to come back to Castro.

Perfect for young buyers, people who want to pay cash, people on a tight budget. Sadly, the previous owner or manager, Chuck I think his name was, passed away last year. Since then, I have notice a drop in quality and increase in prices to the cars they sell. Last year I bought a beater car for my daughter. It was nothing but trouble. Today we went back to the dealership to try and find another car at a fair price. Not only were the cars above KBB, but the cars were not in very good shape. Examples: cars that squealed and shimmied driving around the neighborhood, a car that clunked when shifted in to reverse. Out of the 3 cars were drove, all 3 would need new brakes. As I returned the 1st car, another gentleman dropped some keys off and said, "this car should have been left at the junkyard." The staff I have encountered have always been nice and helpful to me. I would give them 5 stars. Ultimately, we bought another car from a local dealer down the road. Here's the deal-- if you are poor and just need to get by, then you should go by and check them out. BUT understand something- these cars are ALL as-is. Once you sign your name, that car (and all of it's problems) are yours. They TOTALLY allow you to drive it, take it to your mechanic, etc.... Also know that they do NOT do financing. YOU must pay 1/2 down on the car and finance the rest yourself. SO..... research the cars on the lot BEFORE you go in. I don't feel like they are shady, I think their attitude is "this is our inventory, it's as-is, take it or leave it."

Originally wanted a Subaru, but every one I found was a bad deal.. My girlfriend bought an A4 and I liked the interior so I started looking for an Audi. Couldn't find any in decent condition and on a whim went to check out an Avant Russ had listed. I was pretty skeptical after looking at his website, but he was near my office so I swung by. Man was I surprised to find a fully-loaded, all wheel drive s-line Avant. This thing had nearly every option. Russ got me a good rate on financing (I had planned to finance myself) and stayed late so I could take the car home. He even hooked me up with some German fluids I was having a hard time finding for a reasonable price. This was a welcome change from my past car buying experience, and the car is GREAT.
