Very honest business. No negotiating. Good pricing. No frills approach to selling reliable used cars.

I regret taking so long to post this review but better late than never! I had such a great experience working with JJ to buy my car. He was courteous & knowledgeable, and made the purchase processing transparent and easy to understand. When I'm in the market for another used car I won't hesitate to go back! read more

JJ was honest and helpful. Great place for genuine and good priced used cars. I traded a 350Z. Before it was sold it was thoroughly recondition. New belts, new tires etc. Graham read more

Discount Auto Gallery - Car Dealers Near Me - Escondido, California

Check this place out periodically for their great selection of Hondas, Nissans, and Toyota's! It's important to note that they don't deal with salvage-title vehicles, so that will give you added peace of mind. JJ and Wyatt are very accommodating in setting an appointment for you to view their vehicles, allow you to test drive and inspect the vehicles without hovering over you or pressuring you to make a purchase, and are transparent about the vehicle's history, as well as the transaction process. To sum it up, they provided an extremely friendly, transparent, and hassle free experience; so much so, that out of the two times I visited to get the car I wanted, I spent more time chatting it up with JJ about sports, and current events, that I think I even ended up making a friend, which was totally unexpected. I will definitely be buying more future vehicles through them! read more

I had an awesome experience working with Wyatt and JJ! I was badly in need of an inexpensive, reliable car, as my own car had a blown power steering module. After doing thorough research online, I knew right away that I couldn't afford to go through a Honda dealership. I then stumbled across the Discount Auto Gallery, and the ridiculous prices they had for some awesome Civics. Too good to be true, right? Well I did what any logical person would do, and I immediately went to Yelp to check their reviews... Overwhelmingly positive! I felt reassured about checking out their cars. I called and scheduled an appointment with Wyatt, who had me meet up with JJ later that same day. JJ is awesome - super laid back and also knowledgeable about his Civics (probably all of their cars too). We test drove a perfect 2013 Civic LX coupe, and the car drove wonderfully. I let JJ know that there was a certain aspect of the car that needed to be fixed, as it was a deal breaker for me, and he assured me that it would be taken care of the next day. Sure enough, it was! We worked out a price that would work out for both of us positively, and honestly there was ZERO haggling involved. We used the numbers from Kelly Blue Book to come to a reasonable agreement, and that was that. These guys are not sleazy, pushy salesman who are trying to turn a big profit. Their business is set up to sell in volume with low overhead costs, so they can afford to get you a car at way below KBB value (bought my Civic for 3k less!). Thanks so much for your help guys! This was easily the best car buying experience I've had (though it was not without some hitches due to my bank balking at the last minute). I hope you guys are still pumping cars out when I need a car next... And hopefully that's 10 years from now! Highly recommended! read more

Probably the first car dealership that hasn't given me the nasty, scummy salesman vibe. JJ was laidback, honest, and upfront. Prices are excellent. Let us take the car for a pre-purchase inspection and was very honest about even the tiniest issue with the car. Would definitely buy from them again! 10/10 would recommend. Thank you guys! We love our new Honda Fit! read more

We got 2016 Honda Fit over 16.000 miles on it, it came with warranty. Jay was so helpful and he answered all our questions patiently. It's our first car and we love it! Overall everything worked perfectly thank you jay and auto discount for doing business with manners. read more

I bought a 2017 Toyota Corolla back in January of 2021. My experience was awesome and not stressful at all. I worked with JJ who was super nice and accommodating. The pricing was also straightforward. No hidden or unexplainable fees. No stupid shit. It was an insanely easy process. JJ was also entertaining (lol) and it was an overall great experience. I'll be back soon to buy a bigger car read more

Great and fast place. My windshield got a chip that turned into half way up a crack on my windshield. My car has one of the camera sensors on the front so I was getting quoted 1k+ plus from other places not including labor. I was able to get a 3rd party glass for a third of the price here with installation. The glass did come a little dirty and some dirt smudge marks around the windshield on the paint. But it took less than 5 min to clean. Considering the money I saved I'm fine with that. Also fast, I figured I would have enough time to get lunch at money pit while I waited but I got called while I was still eating that it's ready. Got this 4/5 months ago and wanted to wait to make sure everything was still good later on. No complaints and the only difference is some text on the passenger side top right, prob the model number of the glass. read more

Hands down the best car buying experience we could ask for from J.J. and Wyatt! As others have already explained below, this establishment is nothing but honest, upfront, and meticulous in providing the best customer service possible. Everything from walking through their front door to driving away in our new car was incredibly reassuring and satisfying! From the moment we walked through their front door for the first time, we were greeted with a test drive in the Honda CR-V we were interested in, giving us full liberty to inspect the car top to bottom as if it were already ours. After the test drive, JJ pulled out the car fax and gave us the complete rundown of the car--no tricks or lies about the vehicle's past. He was nothing but straightforward and expressed that his establishment prided itself in being an honest business. Any issues or concerns that we had with the car were promptly addressed and they took it upon themselves to make repairs within a couple days. Everything we agreed upon was honored to the fullest, and even filling out the paperwork was an enjoyable experience because of how friendly and approachable the guys here were. In short, Discount Auto Gallery is a gem of a small business with two friendly, honest guys who feel like friends you can trust are giving you a great deal on great cars. And if you don't think it's a great car, they'll make it great for you until you're happy driving it out of their lot. Don't let their approachability fool you though; they're as professional as it gets when it comes to car dealerships--perhaps even more so. Thank you JJ, Wyatt, and Discount Auto Gallery! read more

My husband and I purchased a car from JJ and Wyatt last weekend and we couldn't be happier with the price, the process and the quality of the car and customer service! Thy were very accommodating and honest, without the pushiness of dealership salesman. I will be back again once I give my Hyundai (our other car) back to the dealer thru the lemon law. Thanks again guys! PS. JJ - that Asian buffet you recommended was one of the best we've ever been too! read more

I had such a wonderful experience with these guys. JJ is very friendly and he made everything easy and pleasant for me. He let me take the car to a mechanic to get it inspected, and he fixed every little thing that was slightly off on the car before passing it on to me. Not only that, but he's helping me get a discount on some extra things I wanted to have done to the car. I am sooo happy with my new Honda Civic. read more

I had a pleasant experience!!! JJ was informative, kind, knowledgeable and one of the most genuine individuals I've had the pleasure of meeting. If you are looking for a great fair priced vehicle, give this place the opportunity to meet your needs. read more

I am a bit late on posting this review, but I think it demonstrates the longevity of my satisfaction with Discount Auto Gallery. I have now owned my 2014 Honda Civic for over a year and have put nearly 15,000 miles on it since it was purchased from JJ. My time with my car has run smoothly and effectively. Most importantly, JJ was the kindest and most genuine used car salesman you will ever meet! He sincerely cared that I left the lot feeling happy with my purchase. I would absolutely recommend purchasing a used car from JJ as opposed to a corporate dealership. read more

This review is way long overdue, but here it goes.... I had been looking for a car for a long time, and I had my eye on a Honda Civic coupe. I looked everywhere and they all had crazy high mileage (over 100,000) and the price was ridiculous! Somehow my hubby stumble onto this place online and it is amazing! I ended up getting the car I wanted with under 30,000 miles, leather seats and in amazing shape... Wyatt and his brother are awesome. They are sooo nice and honest people. They answered all of our questions and gained our trust. We've been referring them since then to everyone we know and our family members have now purchased three cars from them. We couldn't be any happier!!! read more

I cannot say enough nice things about both JJ and Wyatt and Discount Auto Gallery. This was my first experience buying a car and they made the process very straightforward and understandable and they were also always easy to reach throughout the process. I bought a Prius C through them that they had advertised on Craigslist and it was definitely the best price I was able to find and the car had super low miles. They also gave me the complete car fax report with a comprehensive history. They gave me the price upfront and there were no sneaky fees or add-ons and they even got the car's oil changed and put new tires on and detailed it before I picked it up. After I had been driving the car for about a month I noticed one of the door locks had stopped working and also a back window so I called them to see if they could help and they scheduled an appointment for me with their mechanic for the very same week. (Both the window and the lock just needed to be recalibrated, it was no fault of Discount Auto or anything they could've predicted) Even though it was not their fault they still fixed it for me with no hassle! Through they entire process (and even a month after) they were both so helpful and I'm so happy I chose to buy a car from them and not a big pushy dealership. They are fair and friendly and their customer service is above and beyond. I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy a car! read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! Totally just happened upon this place by accident, but I'm glad I did. Unfortunately my poor car had recently gotten broken into/totaled so I was in need of a new car, and needed one quickly. I started searching on carfax and happened upon a great Toyota Camry at Discount Auto Gallery. We went to check it out, saw a 2012 Honda Civic in the process, and the rest is history. The entire car-buying process took less than an hour and I was able to drive the car off the lot that day. JJ and Wyatt are incredibly friendly and non-intimidating, and they price their well-maintained cars very reasonably. I got my 2012 Honda Civic with 47,000 miles for around/ just under KBB prices, and it runs like a champ. If you're in the market for a new car, and are looking primarily for a Honda or a Toyota this is definitely the place to go. read more

After searching for 2 months for the right car with the right price, I was happy to come across Discount Auto Gallery in Escondido. My husband and I were treated very well. I didn't feel rushed and the cars they sell, speak for themselves. I highly recommend them. They are smart, honest business men, who I will return to when I purchase another car. If you are looking for a reliable car for a great price Discount Auto Gallery is the place to go!!!!!! read more

I've owned dozens of vehicles over the past 16 years, have always paid cash for my cars ($3K-$7K range), and always from private parties. For the first time ever, I decided to finance a newer vehicle... that meant a first-time interaction with the world of used car dealerships. Despite never having gone to a dealership, I was biased against them and highly skeptical. The stereotypical sleezeball con artist image stuck in my mind, thanks to tales from people with bad experiences, Hollywood movies, etc. After securing a loan with SDCCU, I searched Craigslist up and down for over a month for something basic and reliable. I noticed that one dealer on there had consistently cheaper pricing on his cars than all the rest by a good 10-15%. I called the number and spoke with Wyatt, expressing my interest in a 2013 Accord. He informed me that though the car was getting detailed at the shop, I was still welcome to come take a look. Drove up and met Wyatt in person, and his brother JJ. From the start, my misconceptions about crooked dealers began to very quickly dissipate. These folks were a family business, well-educated, patient and honest, with zero sales pressure. The first thing Wyatt did was to show me the Carfax report and fully disclose that the vehicle had a collision in the past, all of which was repaired, and that the warranty and title were unaffected. To me, the car looked brand new inside and out, with no sign of repairs or an accident; I would never had known had Wyatt not told me. I liked the car and wanted to seal the deal, but was unable to test-drive it the same day because I was in a bit of a rush. I signed the paperwork with a gentleman's agreement with Wyatt that should I drive the vehicle the next day and decide to change my mind, we'd cancel the paperwork, no obligations. He was very flexible with my needs, and even arranged to have the vehicle tinted for me at cost. The next day, I called to arrange a pickup time with Wyatt, who even offered to drop the car at my house if my schedule was tight. We completed the paperwork at his office, and he explained every piece of paper I was signing, methodically and patiently. He was very diligent, and had already filled out the appropriate sections to save me time. I received a follow-up message from him the night I took the car home and in the morning as well, asking how everything was. My first dealer experience could not have been better, and that is thanks to Wyatt and JJ. In the short time while we were completing the paperwork, Wyatt had four repeat customer show up who were there to buy a second car, or with friends they had referred; testimony to the quality of their service and professionalism. These guys are honest, treat you with respect, there is no rush to sell you anything, and have excellent communication skills. I know that I will be referring friends and family here, and will be back for a second car soon. read more

YES YES YES, 100%!!!! Buying a car is not an easy process... I had 1,000 questions and wanted to make sure I wasn't getting ripped off. I could not be happier with Discount Auto Gallery, Whyat and his bother JJ were so understanding, helpful and extremely patient when it came to finding me my 2013 Honda Civic. I was painfully specific about what I wanted and they found it! They allowed me to take my car to Honda to get a full point inspection even before buying the car just to put my mind at ease! They were willing to do a vin verification and answer every question I threw at them. Every time I called they treated me like family and were more than happy to handle any concerns. I would recommend Discount Auto Gallery to anyone and will be buying every future car with them! Thanks again Guys!!! read more

JJ and Wyatt are the best! I was looking at a specific car and someone bought it before I could check it out BUT Wyatt was so nice that he called me and let me know they had another coming in soon just like it. He even said he'd let me be the first to check it out! Then when I got there JJ was awesome. He answered all our questions and really listened to what we wanted instead of pushing a vehicle or anything like that on us. These fellas are just genuine and I would seriously recommend you doing business with them! read more

Fantastic place to go if you know you want one of the makes they stock. Like everyone says, JJ is the opposite of a typical used car salesman, I actually had to remind him to take my money before I went out the door. Accommodating, transparent, lean business. Have been driving my 2017 Honda Civic for about a month now and I'm really glad I found it and Discount Auto Gallery! read more

Word of mouth does wonders. I was looking into getting a commute vehicle and had asked a friend of mine if he knew of an affordable place and he had referred me to Wyatt. My friend told me he had gotten a great deal on a vehicle so I called Wyatt to see what he had available and a few days later bought a vehicle. I have since then gotten another vehicle and plan on coming back soon. Wyatt and JJ his brother have great customer service. They are very reliable and what they sell is reliable as well. And to top it off most cars still have manufactured warranty. These guys are great! Hands down a diamond in the rough for car business. Thank you Wyatt and JJ. read more

If I could give 10 stars I would! Wyatt and JJ are the absolute BEST! My husband and I purchased a 2013 Honda Accord from them and they went above and beyond to make sure we were completely satisfied with our new car. They are kind, patient and very knowledgeable with a no pressure sales approach. I was actually happy to give them our money because I felt they offered a fair and, most importantly, honest price for our car. The Honda we purchased from them was sold to us in fabulous condition - low miles, no accidents, clean title with one owner, factory warranty and tags already paid! If you are looking for a nice used car that will be new to you this is the place to go. Wyatt and JJ will NOT disappoint! Many thanks Wyatt and JJ! read more

I heard about this place from a co-worker who bought her car here. I was looking for a car and kept looking around for a Honda Civic. My dad and I met with JJ and he was really friendly! He showed us the Civics that he had and he showed me the Civic of my dreams with a great price. My dad and I were amazed with the specific Civic model at a great price, miles, and condition. You just can't beat the price! JJ was was honest, patient, and transparent throughout the whole transaction process. I'm really happy with my Civic and it is more than what I imagined in getting. If you're looking for an affordable car, I highly recommend checking this place out for a great selection of cars that they have. Thank you Discount Auto Gallery! read more

A refreshing experience to deal with two truly ethical and professional people in the automotive business. Wyatt and JJ dealt with the sale of a prius to my granddaughter in the most friendly, open and professional manner that I have ever encountered . Definitely my go-to source for my next car! read more

My husband and I wanted to purchase a Toyota Camry for our younger son. The need to purchase came fast, because we sold his previous car kind of unexpectedly (on Valentine's day.) Though we were looking at various sites to spot the perfect replacement car for the best possible price for about a month, the only one we liked came up on Craigslist, advertised by Discount Auto Gallery in Escondido just a day before we sold the above mentioned car. Since we live more than two hours away from this dealership, we decided to drive to Escondido to look at this car on the next day. (It was President's day, and we wanted to save a lot of drive-time due to the holiday and also, we thought that this car might go fast.) Not knowing what to expect, we almost thought we were lost, or didn't have the right address. The dealership location is in a commercial business strip mall, with a regular store front, but upon arriving we didn't know that all cars are stored indoors. Not wanting to write a long review and too much detail, I just want to state that we ended up buying the car (a Toyota Camry 2012), and we have received top-notch service from Wyatt and J.J. This is a small dealership with a dozen or less cars and they earn their income by fast turn-around due to the excellent pricing and their personalized, helpful service. Since the car we purchased only arrived to their lot on Saturday (when they started advertising it), it needed the smog check before we could drive it away. They immediately took care of that along with the necessary paperwork. At the time of purchase the car didn't have the Manual and the master key (was still with the auction company), but both items arrived in the mail within a week, as promised. This car purchase was not just the easiest, smoothest car transaction we've ever had, but the most welcoming, personal service as well. I highly recommend Discount Auto Gallery. read more

If you're looking for a used car this is the place to go! Their inventory only consists of like new cars & in excellent condition. My sister and I met with JJ on a Sunday afternoon and we were treated so well with absolutely no pressure to buy. We were able to get a great car in our price range, well below the MSRP. We noticed a few very minor concerns and JJ took care of everything before we returned to pick up the car. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a pleasant experience. The reviews speak for themselves. I will definitely return the next time I shop for a car. Make sure to see Wyatt & JJ, they won't disappoint! read more

JJ was professional and extremely kind to do business with. He helped my husband land on his corolla through a transparent and easy process, we will come back for our next cars for sure. read more

JJ and Wyatt have earned all five stars for their exceptionally straightforward, honest, and friendly help with buying a car. Easily the most pleasurable car buying experience of my life. Call ahead to ask what they have in stock because you're going to find insanely good prices on great cars that are going in and out faster than you would believe. I picked up a 2013 Toyota Camry that had only been there for a few hours! The prices they can offer means these cars come and go very fast. Thank you again JJ and Wyatt! You are amazing! read more

The whole team at this car lot are beyond helpful and have outstanding customer service. When you show up or call ask for JJ, he is responsive and willing to do whatever he can to make the car buying process go easy and smooth. They have a wide variety of cars from a Toyota Camry to a mustang GT (the car I purchased from there). They make financing easy as you can get a rate quote from them so you can easily take it to the bank and get approved within the hour. Our car also came with a warranty that should last us 1 1/2 years, if anything happens to the car the dealership will cover. If your looking for good quality cars and customer service call up JJ and go test drive your future car today. Thank you JJ and the whole team at discount auto gallery for making my car buying experience so pleasurable. read more

Wyatt and JJ are the Best!!! Didn't feel any pressure to buy and were really genuine in trying to get us into the car we wanted. Their prices are absolutely the lowest around (we drove all the way from Los Angeles county) and the best part is, they beat all the competition without even trying to compete!! I am a customer for life now and will definitely refer everybody looking for a truly "honest" salesman. These young entrepreneurs know exactly what car buyers are looking for and deliver. Thanks Discount Auto Gallery!!! read more

My girlfriend purchased a beautiful Honda Accord from Wyatt and his brother, AJ, and couldn't be happier with the experience. Wyatt really went the extra mile for us to meet our demanding schedule constraints, always treated us with respect, never acted like a salesman, and is just a genuine, nice, family man. And to answer your inevitable question, their prices are so cheap because they have a small warehouse (low overhead costs), two employees (the brother duo) and buy high quality cars (at the same auctions as CarMax) that they can sell quickly and easily. Bottom line: these guys are smart businessmen that make car buying a joy. read more

Honest car dealer with rock bottom prices. If you don't want bargain too much with big dealers to get relevant price tag, dodge hidden payments, head to Discount Auto Gallery. One thing I would recommend dealer is better car inspection. Had to change fuse and pump wheel shortly after purchase. Not a big deal, but discourages a bit. read more

I was very impressed with Wyatt's responsiveness over a Sunday night. My expectation was to hopefully hear from Discount Auto Gallery the following day. From that point forward it just got better. We were met by JJ first thing Monday morning. I came with my wall up and ready to haggle. JJ quickly made us feel welcomed and transparently explained their business model. We test drove a 2016 Nissan Versa Note and bought it for a very fair price. I've recommended Discount Auto Gallery to friends and family. I hope to be a repeat customer in the near future. read more

I worked with JJ and he helped me out tremendously. The day prior I was going to spend an extra $5K at a dealership that was lacking transparency. These guys run their businesses with integrity and great customer service. They didn't have any of those weird fees the dealership wanted to charge me for and I got a way better deal. I highly recommend reaching out to them if you need a vehicle without the hassles you get a regular dealership. read more

Echoing the masses here! My husband and I were *this close* to closing a deal on a vehicle at a big box store. At the very end of the process, some 'fees' came out that were not clear to us early on, and we just didn't have a good feeling about it and pulled out. We found an even BETTER deal on the SAME vehicle that was 2 years NEWER with WAY less miles with discount auto gallery! My husband actually said, 'that price has to be a typo!' Well, it wasn't. We went to their quaint shop, and sealed the deal. JJ was AMAZING. He made the process so easy, NO hidden fees, everything explained PLAINLY, and no 'salesman' approach....more like working with a trusted friend. SUPPORT YOUR SMALL LOCAL BUSINESSES, and definitely include this car dealership, you will not be disappointed! read more

I have been searching for a reasonably priced vehicle as a commuter. The prices were too good to be true so I had to go in and see what the catch was. I went in and was even shown the car fax that the car was clean. This place is legit, it's a side business for the owner so the prices aren't jacked up like everywhere else. Price was straight forward, vehicleprice+tax+dmv+processing fee(65$). No other fees what so ever. I'm sure if your reading this you're probably skeptical about the prices being too good. But follow the formula and that's exactly what you'll pay out the door. But must be pre-approved or cash. Definitely buying my next car here. Thanks JJ! read more

Discount Auto Gallery - Only 4 things on the contract which makes the out the door total. Very straight forward and no BS. Vehicle+tax+dmv+processing(65$). - Car Dealers Near Me - Escondido, California

Fantastic experience! My husband called them to ask about a car they were selling at a great price, and we really appreciate that they accommodated to see us the same day. JJ was very informative, honest, and an absolute pleasure to have worked with. We're extremely happy with the Mazda we bought and will be directing everyone we know who's looking for a new car to check this place out for great prices, quality used cars, and a stress-free experience :) read more

BUY YOUR NEXT USED CAR HERE!!!!!!!! My friend and I were looking for a first car for his daughter to take to College, we tried the used car lots, Car Max and so on and were never happy with how we were getting treated. Enter Wyatt and AJ At Discount Auto Gallery, we found them through a listing on Craigslist. Went to check out what they had and we found a great car (2012 Honda Civic Coupe/Blue) with low miles and a FANTASTIC price! No pressure, no games, no hassles! These guys are honest good hard working people that you can trust and buy a car from. Give them a call and see if they might have the car your looking for, and if they don't they'll try and find it for you. Now how can you not like these guys! Keep up the good work guys and continued success!!!!!!! Dave S. read more
