    2025 Chevy Colorado Z71

    I bought a 2025 Chevy Colorado Z71 and am incredibly happy with the whole process. Umer was really easy to work with and got me the deal I was looking for. I would recommend.

    GMC Sierra EV Denali
    Kevin W.

    I purchased a brand new GMC Sierra EV Denali from this shop. I got a great deal, great sales experience. I left a very happy customer. Two months and 4k miles later the traction battery failed while on a work trip 200 miles away from home. The dealer I was unfortunately towed to was AWFUL as they clearly had a malicious prejudice towards EVs (Stowasser GMC). Stowasser had my truck for about 3 months as they were unable or unwilling to run a complete diagnostics on a brand new GMC product. Stowasser was a nightmare. What's scary is that I didn't get my truck back until Sergio and Booke (from Costa Mesa GMC) stepped in to help me. Upon getting my truck back from Stowasser, I was discovered they did an incomplete job of replacing the traction battery as they did not bother to update the software even-though it was part of the job of replacing a traction battery. And I was ensured by the service manager at Stowasser that the software would be updated. Stowasser also returned may truck back with a daytime running light nonoperational. I was just glad to get my truck back with Brooke and Sergio's help. Brooke fit me in the day after I got my truck back and they got the daytime running light replaced along with updating the software and fixing the tonneau cover a few days later. Just in time for my next required work trip. 4k problem free miles later. I am only sad that I've moved out of Southern California, so I won't be able to go to Costa Mesa GMC for any needed service. Their EV techs are TOP OF THEIR GAME The service department really sells the next car. The service department at Costa Mesa GMC provided me with some of the best customer service (EV or NOT), even when my truck wasn't even in their shop!!!! From the shuttle drivers who dropped me off and picked me up. They really treat their employees well and it shows. Everyone cares! Pro-tip. If you rig breaks down and you find yourself at an awful dealer far from home, you can take use of GMC's reunite program. I wish I had known about it. If I had, I am sure the awesome crew at Costa Mesa GMC would have had me up and running within a few weeks and not MONTHS Stowasser left me brewing because of their political hate towards EVs! Thanks again Brooke, Sergio, the tech who fixed my truck, and the shuttle drivers. I would gladly make the trek and buy another truck from you just for the white glove service. My GMC Sierra EV is the BEST EV I've ever owned. It is the "cybertruck" Elon Musk should have built as it Out Cybers the Cyber "truck". Thanks again Costa Mesa GMC! I appreciate the empathy! 4k miles later and I am still problem free!

    Nobody around part 1 GMC.

    I'll own it: I'm a bit particular. Not "difficult," just the type who reads the fine print and expects the headline price to be the price. No test drive, no trade-in, no financing gymnastics--I wanted the advertised 24-month lease and to pay it in full. That should be "easy mode," right? Reader, it was not. If you've ever ordered a pizza online for $15 and had the driver show up asking for $25--plus a mandatory "anti-theft pizza lock"--that's basically my weekend at Costa Mesa GMC. The setup: Sunday around 10:30 a.m., I requested lease pricing for a 2025 Hummer EV. The GMC site showed a 24-month lease totaling ~$15,000. That was the starting line. Spoiler: we did a lot of laps. Communication? Like trying to text a brick. I had to call and follow up multiple times just to get a confirmation. At 12:45 p.m., I finally got a call: "It's about $25,000." No documentation. I pointed out that this wasn't even close to the website price and sent proof. Plot twist #1 (aka "The yo-yo"): At 1:56 p.m., the number magically became about $16,000. Progress! Then I asked for a written quote and spotted a stowaway: KARR security--5 years for $1,045. Not on the dealer site. Not on GMC's site. But apparently on my bill. Why this add-on felt especially wrong: This is a 2025 Hummer EV--a rolling supercomputer that already comes with built-in security features and OnStar/connected services. It's like being sold an "extra seatbelt" at the door of an airplane. The truck already has the safety net; charging another grand for a third-party alarm felt redundant at best and predatory at worst. I said "No, thanks." They said "No, actually." I asked to remove the add-on. The dealership refused because they'd "already taken a significant markdown to get to my price." Clarification: "my price" was the advertised price. "Apply online," they said. "But you still have to show up," they said. I completed the GMC online application around 6 p.m. Sunday. By 10 a.m. Monday, radio silence--then an email from the sales manager at 10:21 a.m. asking how they were doing. I replied quickly. No response. Plot twist #2 (aka "We lost your homework"): After more calls/emails/messages, at 11:30 a.m. I was told they don't receive the application from GMC and I needed to fill out a new one. I did--within minutes. Finally, a heartbeat: After several promised call-backs that I had to chase, I was told at 5:00 p.m. Monday that everything was processed and good. Pickup day, bring a book. I scheduled 12:30 p.m. Tuesday to sign and pick up, asked that everything be ready because I was short on time. I arrived 10 minutes early expecting crowds. There were none--not in GMC, not in Cadillac. A dealership tumbleweed moment. The Hummer? Not charged, not detailed. I waited another hour to even get into the signing office. Plot twist #3 (aka "Now you see five years, now you see three"): Once in the signing office, the $1,045 KARR "5-year" suddenly became a $1,000 "3-year" alarm. Still unwanted. Still unadvertised. Still mandatory. I asked to remove it--again told no, and that the earlier number was "priced wrong." And again--why that's absurd on a Hummer EV: Between factory theft-deterrent hardware and OnStar's connected capabilities (you know, the stuff built in so you can ping, lock, locate, and get help), selling me a bolt-on alarm felt like charging admission to use the door handle. The truck already speaks fluent "security." Credit where it's due: Abraham and Berenice were kind and tried to help. It felt like they were pushing a boulder uphill while the back office kept greasing the slope. The finale (cue confetti cannon that jams): I did get the vehicle I love--from a dealership I would not recommend to anyone. The "brand new" car had minor scratches, dents, and interior imperfections--like it spent the night wrestling a shopping cart.

    Do not buys from them
    Gabriel A.

    I personally regret doing business with this place. I recently purchased a 23 GMC from them last night came in with a Capital One approval and it took them two days to make the deal. The first time I went in they treated me like crap and acted like I wasn't buying when I was already preapproved. Then when I went back the very next day, they gave me the runaround made me run my credit to put another inquiry saying they could beat the rate I have and they could not!! Just put another ding on my credit not to mention the process took over four hours, just to process paperwork. They also would not give me a full tank of gas because they said it's a used vehicle and did not offer me two plates on my vehicle. I would not recommend this place and will never do business with them again be aware of their tactics they just give you the runaround if you don't know what you're doing. Don't listen to anything they say. There a waste of time. And don't deserve your money

    Typical bait & switch by the team at Costa Mesa GMC. Attached AutoTrader photo shows their current advertised price. I called ahead of time to assure there wasn't a catch or added accessories required to purchase. There wasn't according to them. BUT, pricing had suddenly changed, and "auto trader is a 3rd party and they had it wrong,".... Then it changed to supposedly the pricing was expired from last week and not updated on the site. Somehow their pricing went up at the end of the month while their advertising "Black Friday" blowouts on their website. Be aware of this dealer.

    mirror image of the oil leak I showed to Cruz upon the initial drop off

    I feel taken advantage of and ripped off- I brought in my Cadillac for service, an oil leak and my transmission. I expressed exactly where and what it was one my engine I even showed him the leak. This place mis diagnosed my leak and reassured me my car was in good hands, kept my car for over a month. I had to rent a car to go to and from work. I rarely got an update on the progress or status of my Cadillac. I left messages with Cruz the service rep. I left messages with Sergio the Service Mgr. not one was returned until I went in myself to get an update. Finally I was told by Cruz my transmission was on back order not to worry. I then asked, "how's the oil leak repair going I know it is a major leak.(my oil leak was to the point it was literally dripping out from the second cam) and Cruz response was, "we have not started that yet because we are going to do it all together with the transmission." 1 more week passed and I got a call from Cruz telling me ,'Your car is ready all done," I returned his call and I asked wow how could that be if the transmission was on back order just last week?" Cruz- "we got it in the next day and we got everything done." (again no update on the progress) I picked up my car and the check engine light was still on! Mind you a Master mechanic supposedly passed my car off to me like this with the check engine light on. This was the biggest red flag that the mechanic or whomever the work did nit get done properly. Sergio the Service manager brought out his little apparatus and proceeded to attach the device to turn off the light. At that point I told him my car is not right, It still smells like its burning oil and I hear a strange noise. I even took him with me in my car to point it out. After driving he said, " take the car bring it back if anything goes wrong we guarantee our work." Here I am not even 2 months after with the oil leak present and I took it back to Costa Mesa Cadillac and I have been treated like I am an idiot. I have been disregarded and told this is a new leak coincidentally in the same area my cam. I asked Sergio to please honor the work and diagnosis his staff made that this is the same leak I originally came in for and he refuses to. I bring my car to Cadillac to avoid things like this and I will be following up with the BAR.

    The truck the this dealership didn't want to sell and I bought from a much more reputable dealership.

    Update....again...dealership continues to call even after ive stated how horrible this dealerships tactics are. I've written a review AND updated it and yet they continue to call. I do not recommend this dealership.

    Well, my beautiful GMC terrain AT4 kept telling me I was due for oil service lol. I actually purchased my vehicle through Boulevard GMC in Long Beach, but decided to try out Costa Mesa GMC because it was closer to me. I'm glad I did! The service was five star from the initial phone call to schedule my appointment, to drop off and check in, to phone communication and pick up. Jessica in service was wonderful and they even washed my car before pick up! This is what you would expect from a great dealership with great customer service and I was thrilled. Ignore any of the wishy-washy reviews you may read and go here! Not only was the service five star but the place was impeccably, clean and service oriented!

    On January 23 ,I dropped my truck off to have the breaks done .Made a appointment for Saturday service, they confirmed that I had a 8A.M. appointment. They informed at 4PM that my truck would not be ready until Monday at 10 A.M.,I picked my truck up at 10 ,they gave me $20 off for the inconvenience. I proceeded to drive off their property .After making 2 left turns on to Harbor Blvd., getting up to 40 MPH the left rear wheel fell off. They didn't put the lug nuts on, the tire proceeded across the medium and struck another car head on. Luckily no one was hurt .It's been over 9 weeks , I haven't got my truck back from them. You would think the last thing they would want is a Yelp review like this.No one calls to give me a status; just say they're waiting on parts .

    I shopped around for a month for a used GMC Sierra and this was the only dealer that got to the point and wanted to get me a good deal. They didn't give me what i was expecting for my trade in but other than that I was in and out with a truck in a little over an hour and happy with the experience.

First, I was told there were no detectable issues. Later, I was told the transmission needed to be replaced. I was also repeatedly told that the repair I suspected would not fix the problem. Even so, I asked them to provide a quote for that repair since a transmission replacement was not financially practical. I was told they would call me with a quote and credit one hour of labor, but I never received a call. After nearly a month of poor communication and an unrepaired vehicle, I decided to purchase the part and perform the repair myself. More than 100 miles later, the vehicle is operating normally. The repair that I was repeatedly told would not solve the issue ended up resolving it completely. I am extremely disappointed with my experience and am out $332 with no resolution provided by the shop.

I was extremely stressed because dealing with vehicle problems was the last thing I wanted on my mind while trying to enjoy my vacation. I spent some time on Yelp reading reviews for several transmission shops before deciding to call Transmission Masters. One of the reasons I chose them was because they've been in business for more than 48 years and had consistently great reviews. I also like reading the one-star reviews because, let's be honest, you really can't please everyone. I just wanted to find an honest and trustworthy shop. I called and spoke with Ron right before closing time. He took the time to listen to everything I was experiencing, explained what he thought the issue could be, and told me to bring the van in the next morning. Their shop opens at 8:00 AM, but when I arrived around 7:45 AM, they were already there working on vehicles. When I walked in, Ron remembered our conversation from the previous day, which immediately made me feel comfortable. He scanned my van but didn't notice anything unusual. He reset my ECM and another setting, and thankfully that solved the problem. What impressed me the most was that Ron didn't charge me a dime for his time or help, even though I genuinely wanted to give him something for helping me out. I drove all the way from Disneyland back home to Northern California without a single issue afterward. Ron, if you happen to read Yelp reviews, I truly want to say THANK YOU for your time, honesty, and knowledge. You helped turn a very stressful situation into a positive experience, and I sincerely appreciate it.

I made the mistake of taking my car back to Harbor Auto after an issue with a new battery that they installed for me a few years ago which died literally a few days later because they messed up putting things back together. Fast forward to my latest predicament. A few weeks ago, my car was dying on the freeway. Had no idea what was going on, but noticed it was not going higher than 1800 RPMs and not going higher than 2nd gear. It put itself into protective mode. I managed to get myself to an Autozone and they scanned the car and got a few codes outlining what the issue was. I said I would get it to a mechanic in the morning. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of taking it to Mike at Harbor Auto. The codes Autozone provided were: P2191 and P1326 and then some commentary about it being my PCV Valve that needed replacing too. I showed these codes/printout to Mike and he said "don't worry, we'll take a look and get it figured out". I waited nearly the whole day before I called Mike to get an update, he said he would call me back with updates "soon". He then called me about 20 mins later suggesting that it might be my catalytic converter that might need replacing. I was curious because there was no indication that my catalytic converter was an issue. I looked up prices on my own to get an idea of what the price range could look like while waiting for Mike to call me back. He calls back and confirms "its definitely your catalytic converter and I'm not sure if you're going to want to put up the $$$ to replace it." He then quotes me $3,175.00 for a a new catalytic converter. I'm floored because the research I did for my car (2011 Hyundai Sonata LE) was approx $1200 for a Hyundai converter or something between $800-1000 for a 3rd party converter. I was already pissed by this point. I just told Mike I'm taking the car back and to leave it alone. I knew he was trying to literally swindle me and I don't know why. Maybe he just didn't want to do the work on the car? Maybe he had NO idea what he was doing? Either way, this just confirmed that I would never go to Harbor Auto Service again. I spoke with my neighbor whose a mechanic as a hobby that night, told him everything that was going on and he agreed that Mike was trying to bamboozle me for the money! He gave me a great suggestion which was to get a second opinion which is exactly what I did. I then took it where he takes his cars which is literally right next door to Harbor Auto to a place called Costa Mesa Transmission. He let the owner Arturo know that I was coming. I took my car to Arturo the following morning and I gave him the same rundown of what was going on. He did some research on the codes from the scanner the other day and calls me back within 2 hours of drop off saying they can't do anything with the car BUT that there was a warranty/recall situation with Hyundai related to my scanned codes. He said I should call Hyundai service first to see if they could take a look at the car which is exactly what I did. Hyundai took the car and it was indeed covered under one of their warranties/recall notices. So everything was going to be covered by Hyundai for free. Arturo also did not charge me a dime when I went to pick it up and take it to Hyundai. THIS IS THE TYPE OF PERSON I WISH TO DO BUSINESS WITH IN THE FUTURE!!! PLEASE AVOID HARBOR AUTO SERVICE AT ALL COSTS!!! TAKE YOUR CAR NEXT DOOR TO COSTA MESA TRANSMISSION INSTEAD!!! SEE ARTURO!!! They do standard work like oil changes, etc and a lot of other work besides just transmissions. You will be saving money and grief by avoiding Harbor Auto Service. I knew from the jump that it was a mistake to take it back to Harbor, but I was desperate to find a place that opened early in the morning. When I should've literally drove my car another 20 feet in the same driveway and taken it to Costa Mesa Transmission. @Mike, I want my $160.00 you charged me back as a refund. You honestly should be ashamed of yourself for attempting to gouge your customers the way you tried with me. Absolutely shameful.

    Luis Transmission Saved Us Thousands $$$$$$$$…read more If you have a transmission problem, you must take your vehicle to Luis Transmission in Huntington Beach. We bought a 2020 domestic car last year with ~80,000 miles on it. About 10,000 miles later, it began driving strangely. Intermittent pedal response and occasional hard shifting. A tank of "good gas" didn't help. The problems seemed to get worse the longer the car ran. Of course, we were past the used car dealer warranty period. My husband took it to a reputable local mechanic in HB, who said it needed a new transmission for about $7,000. Yikes. Wasn't ready for that so he took it to a second local shop (a friend's recommendation); they came to the same conclusion. Then he took it to the dealer to get an official look or maybe to see if this problem was recall worthy. Their assessment: needs a new transmission, $10,000. OMG. The car is only worth about $10,000. What should we do? Time for Yelp which is where I told my husband we should have went in the first place! Luis Transmission gets phenomenal ratings. Luis's initial assessment: Rebuild the transmission for ~$4300. Still more money than what we wanted to put into the "new to us" car but seemed like our only choice. So we signed the quote and handed over the keys. This is where it gets good. A few days later Luis texted us to give him a call. We braced for the worst. Luis explained he had removed the transmission, and it wasn't as bad as thought. He could replace some worn out parts and some likely culprits for less than his original quote. Music to our ears!!! We've got one kid in college; this is the news we needed. Luis is the real deal. He fixed the problem, was honest about what the vehicle actually needed, and saved us thousands of dollars. If you need transmission work, we absolutely recommend Luis Transmission in Huntington Beach.

    Took my son's 2017 Subaru BRZ to Luis for a new clutch. He got the car in and out in a little over…read more24hrs. This is an old school shop that does work on a handshake and does it right for a reasonable price. The BRZ is back on the road and feels like new. Highly recommend them if you need your clutch replaced.

    I can't express how grateful I am for Performance Auto Repair in Costa Mesa. Even though I live all…read morethe way in Chino, something about their reviews made me feel like I could trust them -- and I was right. When my SUV overheated and the engine failed, I was overwhelmed. But the moment I spoke with them, it felt like a weight lifted. They understood exactly what was happening before they even saw the car. Instead of pushing a costly $6,000 engine replacement, Byron found a way to rebuild the engine through a machine shop, saving me thousands. That kind of honesty is rare. The repairs took time, but they never rushed. They kept us updated, checked every detail, and refused to release the vehicle until they were absolutely sure there were no leaks, no issues, no surprises. After dealing with another shop that returned our Honda Pilot with oil leaks, this level of care meant everything. What stood out most was their integrity. Their kindness. Their commitment to doing the right thing even when it takes longer or costs them more effort. If we lived closer to Costa Mesa, we'd bring every one of our vehicles here without hesitation. There truly aren't enough words to describe how thankful I am for Byron and his team. They didn't just fix my SUV -- they restored my trust in what an honest auto shop can be.

    Had to do lots of work -- but these guys again treated me in a fair and honest manner. My repairs…read morewere costly (I have a 2014 so I knew it was time), but they fully explained everything, saved the parts, and did the work quickly and right. Again. This is my place.
