Let me start off this review by saying that I work sales myself and have done so for close to 10…read moreyears. I put a LOT of research into what exact models I was looking for, and when the time came to shop around I was fully prepared for the high pressure salesmen, the "let me speak with my manager" back and forths, and the rest of the usual tactics we expect at dealerships (or for any big purchase, really). After trying a few cars out and dealing with the usual bs at a couple different lots, I found a car I was interested in, a 2015 Honda Fit at Aurora Auto, with low mileage and a price that was great. Not jaw droppingly spectacular, but better than any of the other places I researched in San Diego. When I went to check it out, Ara was there to great me with a smile and a handshake and after a few minutes I was test driving the car. The car fit the bill for what I was looking for, the price was good, so I decided I would pull the trigger on it and skip driving up to LA to see a few other cars I was interested in. Naturally as a salesman myself I haggled a bit, they were pretty firm with the price but he knocked a little bit off anyways and agreed to fix one cosmetic issue with the car for free, which we got taken care of after I got back into town (I bought the car right before a business trip to San Francisco). I drove off the lot happy with my decision. I'm writing this review a few months after the purchase because I like to let things sink in a bit. Just for fun I've checked cargurus and Craigslist and I still haven't seen my car posted for less than what I paid. Two months and over three thousand miles later I'm still very happy with the car, the price, and the professional service I received. To anyone shopping around for a car right now, do a little research on the car you want and check this place out, you might find yourself with a great deal and an easy, no hassle experience.

I had an awesome experience with Nick at Five Star Motors. From the initial interaction it was…read moreclear I was dealing with a straightforward, honest and trustworthy professional. After I received a detailed explanation with pictures of the vehicle that I was interested in, Nick was willing to help with financing, insurance, inspections and whatnot. No compromise on safety or reliability. This is a family run business, a family that takes pride in what they do and strive to help folks get great cars at a good price. I have no doubt that my family will continue buying great value vehicles from Nick.

He was nothing but honest, kind, friendly, and professional. Nik went out of his way multiple times to meet with me around my schedule and made sure that I felt comfortable throughout the entire process. He showed me around his shop and provided pictures of the accident the car was in to prove he was legit. It's been about four months since I've purchased my car and it runs perfect. I haven't had any problems with it and I can honestly say that I love my car and making this purchase was the best decision I could've made. I wouldn't have found a better deal for a 2018 Mazda CX-5 with only 10,000 miles anywhere else. Nik is amazing and he truly is the best at what he does. Not to mention, his dad is a very sweet man and was very helpful too! I would 1,000% recommend doing business with him, you won't regret it! Hopefully we will do business again in the future and get my mom a car!

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.)

We test drove a 2001 Ford Expedition; the business owner (TK) let us put 500$ down for him to hold it for two weeks until Pops flew out. We found it a bit strange that we couldn't use a check to pay for the vehicle but debit card was okay. When the plate came, he let us pick it up even though the vehicle isn't in our names. After a few minor fluid (oil, radiator, differential, etc) and part changes (wiper blades, etc), Pops was ready to drive it home. I am writing this review because he made it home safely... cross-country, via the 40 (read: through the desert!) in late July. Thank you, TK, for trusting and doing business with us for a vehicle not actually ours.
