    Broken down in side of the road 1500 miles later.

    I'm bought a 2006 Subaru Outback Impreza Sport for 5k and had to put 3k into it within 3000 miles of driving it. It was the worst car I've ever owned. Yusuf is dishonest and just buys cars at auctions and doesn't service them

    I saw their 2011 Mustang Gt RTR for sale (10/02/2022) and went to check it out. I pull into the world's steepest driveway, and instantly get a weird feeling. Then, out comes Yusuf, And I can already tell he's not the most professional person I've met (keep in mind that I just turned 18). I walk around the car and notice the fender and bumper have been repainted recently, the oem RTR front splitter was replaced with some other cheap splitter, the hood was out of alignment and would barely open, there are dings and scratches all over the passenger side fender, and other cosmetic issues. NOTICE IN THE PHOTOS: the stripe on the fender is no longer there, different front splitter (the RTR one probably got absolutely mangled by the way Yusuf pulls out of the driveway going 20 mph and smashing it into the floor). we then go for a test drive. Everything goes great until I shift into 6th gear and it makes a grinding noise, which I ask him about. He then goes on to say "I'm not sure what that is, do you know what that could be?". I tell him that the synchros are probably going bad. He then tells me that I'm not driving the car properly and that's why it's making the grinding noise. I've daily driven a manual v8 mustang for 2 years so I know how to drive manual very well. So I tell him to take it for a drive and see if his masterful driving solves the issue, and turns out, the issue was still there and that man can't drive for shit. No seatbelt, hauling ass every chance he could, Revving the engine to an unreasonable extent, illegal u-turns, you name it, safe to say I did not feel safe anywhere near that guy especially in control of a 400 horsepower muscle car. It was an overall bad experience so I left. THEN I LOOK ON THEIR FACEBOOK PAGE AND SEE THEY HAVE HAD THAT SAME CAR ON THEIR LOT FOR A YEAR AND A HALF. Yes, let me repeat that... A YEAR AND A HALF (first posted in July of 2021) . Yusuf told me they've only had it for 2 months. Glad I saw the red flags before I gave them any business. I strongly recommend you stay away from this place although the prices are tempting it's not worth it. :)

    Yes, this was an expensive repair but it was absolutely no fault of Allman Family Auto. The issue…read morestems from Chrysler's Pentastar cylinder heads, which are a known problem. I always do my research, and unfortunately my assessment turned out to be correct even before Allman completed their diagnostics. Mike at Allman spent a great deal of time walking me through different scenarios and options, providing detailed estimates for each. I also requested additional estimates, including a full engine replacement, so I could make a fully informed decision. While their estimate was less than dealership service departments, it was slightly higher than another independent shop. After researching the difference, I found it came down to Allman using OEM parts rather than cheaper aftermarket parts made overseas. I don't use cheap parts on my vehicles, so that made the decision easy. Once I felt fully comfortable, I chose Allman and I'm glad I did. Mike kept me informed throughout the process, and my Jeep was back on the road even earlier than estimated. Thank you, Allman Family Auto, for the honesty, transparency, and quality work.

After I raised concerns about what I believed was a misdiagnosis and being overcharged for repairs that did not fix the original issue with my vehicle, I reached out to the shop directly to address the situation. To their credit, once I called them out and explained the ongoing problem, they agreed to take another look at my car. Upon re-evaluation, they acknowledged that the initial repair did not resolve the root issue. They worked on the vehicle again and ultimately fixed the original problem at no additional charge. I appreciate that they took responsibility and made the effort to correct the situation. While my initial experience was frustrating and felt misleading, I do recognize their willingness to make things right after the fact. I hope moving forward they improve their diagnostic process to prevent similar issues for other customers. Updating my review to reflect both the initial experience and the resolution.

Jay is extremely reliable and was a man of his word when it came to having necessary paperwork completed by and when the car would be ready to drive away! Which was really important for us!

I had recently replaced one of them with a pre-owned ACURA I purchased about a month ago which was a very good car buying experience. The dealership we had worked with was great. I still needed to replace the second lease vehicle and I wanted to replace it with another ACURA. I began my search to replace the second lease vehicle. I contacted several dealerships in the LA area over the next 2 months to find another well taken care of vehicle at a fair price. You would think finding any vehicle in a densely populated metropolis such as Los Angeles would be fairly easy, with a plethora of options to choose from. Not so much the case or at least not so much my luck until I expanded my search outside of LA and came across New to You Auto Sales in El Cajon CA. New to You Auto Sales not only had the vehicle (i.e. make, model, options, color, mileage, etc.) but it was also in outstanding condition and they offered it at a very fair price! I checked it out from top to bottom and it was in as good as a new vehicle condition. We made the purchase and drove back home to LA county. Once we got the vehicle back home, I had a certified mechanic give it a thorough inspection and everything came back 100% positive with no issues. The mechanic was equally impressed. I'm glad to say working with New to You Auto Sales was a great experience!
