    Prefacing this review with a comment that the owner/salesman is likeable, very personable, and seems to be a kind honest man. Being in the business for as long as he has been it is difficult for me to understand why he didn't see the obvious clues I as a non-mechanical person noticed. Unfortunately I needed to purchase this vehicle remotely, am on an out of town project and needed a daily driver so flew back home to San Diego with the intent to road trip it back to the project site after visiting with family for a few days and did not test drive it myself before signing the agreement to purchase. I am still in SD going on two weeks while repairs are being done. I feel burned badly and have now shelled out more than $19k that I did not have on a vehicle worth less than $8k per KBB and the banks. Yes I understand it is a used vehicle however I thought even used vehicles were inspected and I always hope people are upfront about things they are offering up for sale. Shame on me for being trusting and shame on him. Flew in and signed the paperwork on a Thursday. Also purchased a 3rd party warranty I was told covered everything front to back. Come to find out this was also an untruth. Drove off the lot, on the freeway the front end had shaking. Went from Mission Gorge Rd to Spring Valley the truck went into blinking O/D light on the dash so I pulled off the closest exit. It would not reset until turned off and back on again. Then proceeded the remaining 4 miles. As I went up the driveway (not steep by any means) it seemed like it bound up, not in 4x4, and would not go. Being used and "As Is" the next morning I called a trusted shop I have frequented for over a decade when suspension service was needed. Minimum to be safe on the road using OEM parts $2600. Checked with Ford service who quoted the same needed service but at a higher cost. When they were done I took it to an AAMCO who had excellent review to have an eval because of the slipping. Trani was throwing a code. Required rebuild of transmission and converter. $2900 None of it was covered by the "3rd party warranty I was told covered everything front to back". I did not expect this much out of pocket expense, feel completely violated, and I am stuck. In the worst possible way. Future buyers beware - If you do purchase from here take it to a shop for inspection before signing the papers. Even if it cost you a little bit of $ it will be worth the time. A pretty vehicle that does not work is just a big piece of expensive art.

We recently purchased a 2019 Ford Ranger for our 16-year-old son, and Larry, Steve, and Butch treated us like family from start to finish. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer our questions and offer helpful advice throughout the process. There was no pressure, just honest service and a genuine desire to help us find the right vehicle. The entire purchase was quick, smooth, and stress-free. Buying a first vehicle for your teenager can be a big decision, and we appreciated the professionalism and care shown by everyone at So Cal Performance. Thank you, Larry, Steve, and Butch, for helping make this special occasion such a positive experience. We highly recommend So Cal Performance to anyone looking for a quality vehicle and outstanding customer service.

It felt like each person was trying to help me in their own way, and honestly, they succeeded.

    "Buy your car from Hadi. Period. Don't bother looking somewhere else because Hadi already did all…read morethe homework for you." I wish someone had said THAT to me. I would have saved myself money and heartache. This is my story. I have been shopping for a used car for a long time because I want to avoid the monthly payment that comes with a brand-new car. There is a HUGE CATCH: I know nothing about cars. And I don't know where to start. I have been lost in the used-car-shopping desert for over 40 days. A friend of mine [Hadi's neighbor] told me about Hadi, who agreed to do a pre-sale inspection. However, through a series of miscommunication and mis-expectation between this particular friend and me, I ended up buying, not from Hadi, but a questionable third-party seller. Hadi went out of his way to make sure this transaction works out for me. Please note -- he is not the seller! He did every task conceivable for me -- who knows nothing about the car buying and registration process!! Trust me -- you will not find another dealer/mechanic who is willing to donate his time and energy and thoughtfulness for free ----- just to make sure your vehicle works out for you. Words can't express my gratitude towards him. Yelpers -- we all heard those awful jokes about used car salesmen and mechanics. They are inappropriate because an honest and caring and amazing used car owner does exist. I wish I could give Paykan TEN STARS but since I can't, I am doing the next best thing which is -- SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF HADI!! Do yourself and everyone you know including strangers a favor and join me!

    Paykan Auto in San Diego? Oh man, buckle up, because you just asked for the…read moreyou-can't-handle-the-truth truth about these guys. Most mechanics in SD see a car with a weird noise, a dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree, or something that's been Frankenstein-ed together from three different continents, and they immediately hit the panic button: "Nah, too complicated, take it to the dealer," or "That's gonna cost you an arm, a leg, and your firstborn." They run faster than you do when someone yells "free In-N-Out." But Paykan Auto? These legends look at that same nightmare job--the timing belt on a 20-year-old import that's been babied by someone who thinks "maintenance" means prayer, the transmission that's been slipping since the Obama administration, the electrical gremlins that make your car randomly play polka music--and they just crack their knuckles and say, "Challenge accepted." They've been fixing cars (and selling solid used ones) at 5486 El Cajon Blvd for years, with reviews screaming honesty, fair prices, and straight-up wizardry. One person literally said their family has used them as mechanics for 15+ years while buying multiple cars there. Another called Hadi and the crew "THE BEST!!!!" They tackle the stuff that makes other shops sweat: weird European mods, beat-up daily drivers on their last legs, you name it. It's like if Jack Reacher was a mechanic--quiet, no BS, gets the job done right, and leaves you wondering why everyone else is so scared of hard work. You roll in thinking your car's doomed, you roll out thinking, "Wait, that was actually affordable AND it drives better than when I bought it?" Truth bomb: In a city full of mechanics who ghost you harder than a bad Tinder date, Paykan Auto is the rare shop that doesn't flinch. They handle the repairs everyone else runs from... and they do it with a smile, fair pricing, and zero drama. If your car's throwing a tantrum that would make a toddler jealous, take it to Paykan. Just don't blame me when you become one of those people who starts every story with, "These guys at Paykan fixed my [insert horror story here] like it was nothing." (Pro tip: Call ahead--Hadi and the team are busy saving San Diego's sanity one scary repair at a time.)

When we met LC we had just had a pretty dismal experience at a different dealership and were pretty much just looking for a do-over. LC knew the vehicle inside and out, took us on an amazing test drive, was able to answer all of our questions without being pushy or having an agressive sales tactic. His deep knowledge of cars and desire to help his customers comes through in every interaction. I can honestly say that without working with LC we wouldn't have gone with a Honda odyssey in the first place. I can tell he tried his best with management to match the offer from the other dealership, but the deal in the end came down to my personal choice of color. If you're looking at Hondas, come to DCH mission valley and ask for LC. You'll be in good hands.
