    The deal of all deals!
    Carlos A.

    If you want the most relaxed, no pressure experience in getting a car then you need to go see Bob. Went there last Thursday Jan 14, looked at a 2013 Lexus IS250, test drove, signed paper works and took the car home. All that happened within an hour. It was the most bizarre but awesome thing! Thank you Bob!

    Tesla time!

    Absolutely hands down the most memorable stress free enjoyable car buying experience of my life. Bob is in a class of his own. Nicest car guy you will ever meet. If you miss the "old school way of business on a hand shake" come see him. If he doesn't have what you want in his warehouse - no it is not a car lot - just so you know... I was surprised myself when I went there - Bob can get you whatever car you are looking for. Just ask. Granted I bought a Tesla from him :) which in itself was a DREAM :)))) but seriously he just let my hubby and I get in and test drive the car - no questions or ID needed!? It was such a refreshing experience that I wanted to buy a car from him. Hubby and I were like: "is this guy serious". He told me to go ahead and take it on the interstate and I have never felt so at ease to truly test drive a car the way I did at his place. I test drove two cars total and both were immaculate. If you are buying pre owned this is the place to go. As I mentioned before it was the most enjoyable car purchase experience from beginning to end. The Yelp reviews were 100% on point. He is a man of his word - I am coming here in the future for ALL of our car buying needs. Thanks Bob you are the best! Shadi & Lucas :)

    What Scion iQ looks like ...
    Citlali E.

    I regret buying from this man ! I bought a 2012 Scion iQ about a year ago from him. I bought it with an air pressure light on... I was told it would take off once I put air in tires... I did that never took off. So I went back to BOB, told him this light wouldn't take off so his conclusion was that it didn't have sensors on the wheels and so on... he supposedly buys the "sensors" and has one of his friends install them. (Here I am driving around everywhere to get this damn light off) So I go to where his friends are located have them do the work. TOOK ABOUT 2 days !!!! When I went back the light was off !! THENNNNNN..... on my way back home ! (40 min drive !) the fu***** light turns back on !!! Can you imagine how pissed I was !!!! Called BOB again... and this time he didn't want to believe me he was fighting me that he had nothing to do with that light that it was something I was doing for it to go off! I couldn't believe this man.... Here I am a year later and guess what ..... 2 more freaking lights are on !!!! I can't with this man.. worst first car buying experience ever !!!!! If I could go back I would !!!!

    Bob is one of the friendliest and most knowledgeable car guys I have met up-to-date... Not only is personable and easy going, he makes you feel like you're buying a car from a family member. No shadiness, no haggling... After researching many many trucks I purchased a 2014 Chevy Silverado from him today and could not be happier. Not only is a good friend of mine buying her Audi from him in the next week or so, my mom is also going to be buying a Mercedes from him in the next month or two... As a business owner myself I know the importance of making your customer feel at home, bob is the man. I shopped around a lot and I got a great deal here, almost $3000 below Kelly blue book without all the upgrades. My truck is in perfect condition.... couldnt be happier!

I brought my car back for a TSB for my Land Cruiser to replace the squeaking in the brakes and got assigned Ray Carrera. I explained what I needed and informed him I would wait, and he said that was okay. When I went out to look previously, I saw my car sitting in the exact same spot for about two hours. All they really needed to do was order the part for me, so I don't even know if they ever actually tried to work on it. After four hours with no update, I finally went out to talk to him. He then gaslit me and claimed he had told me I should've left the car there instead of waiting for it. Because he still couldn't provide an accurate estimate on how much longer it would take after making me wait four hours, I ended up asking for his manager. After talking to the manager, they said they'll order the part immediately and I was able to drive off in ten minutes.

After speaking with Norman and…read moreBrian, it was clear right away that we were dealing with professional and genuinely relatable people. Used car sales can carry a negative stigma, but from our first impression, there was no pressure or typical sales tactics--just a team focused on helping us with the Kia EV9. When we sat down to go over financing and numbers with Frank, we expected the usual back-and-forth with a sales manager--but that wasn't the case at all. He was straightforward, honest, and just as professional. The entire team was transparent, including clearly explaining the ceramic coating add-on so there were no surprises. Even after we left the lot, they continued to go above and beyond--quickly addressing a couple of follow-up questions and a small concern we had. We absolutely love our EV9, and we've already been recommending them to others looking to get into an EV. If you're in the market for a well-maintained EV and a smooth, no-pressure buying experience, this is the place to go.

Tried out other cars I liked but found out the advertised price is not the actual price. +$5k of wheels and ceramic coating, and fees as an additional cost. It's mentioned in the listing that this may be the case, but it's always the case on every car. What I REALLY didn't like though was the "extra" DMV fees, which is not allowed. Those are fixed costs...Last, when asked about the manufacturer warranty, it was overstated. We did like our sales rep, inventory, but the pricing strategy was really not ideal.

The service department has always treated me well, been professional, and is the reason I kept coming back. Shout out Tony! Unfortunately, my experience with the sales floor was the complete opposite. I came in expecting honesty and transparency, especially as an existing customer, and instead felt misled and pressured. The numbers presented to me did not align with my original lease paperwork, and when I asked for clarification, I was not getting straight answers. I would never recommend anyone come here to buy a car. Thank goodness I did my research beforehand and brought my lease paperwork with me so I knew what my costs should have been. I feel bad for customers who may not know to do that research and could end up paying far more than they should. I work in sales myself, and experiences like this are exactly what give sales professionals a bad reputation. Honest sales builds trust. Shady tactics destroy it. This was incredibly disappointing because I wanted to continue doing business here. There is a huge difference between the trustworthy service department and the experience I had with the sales side. I don't even know if I would return to the service side though after today's negative experience with sales.

    When I first saw the reviews online, I was a little suspicious about how genuine they were. As an…read moreengineer who works at a large e-commerce platform company, I've seen enough online review patterns to recognize when something feels off. Still, I decided to visit anyway since I had nothing to lose. What I experienced only confirmed my concerns. Many of the reviews praising how "kind" and "helpful" the salespeople are simply did not match my experience and felt questionable. The dealership appears to be run by a Middle Eastern family and seems to cater largely to that community. There are Arabic signs throughout the place and many flashy, expensive cars. That in itself is not a problem. As a Hispanic person, I understand that some dealerships focus on particular communities--Mexican dealers may cater to Spanish speakers, and some Chinese dealerships market to new Chinese immigrants. That's simply how business works. However, in my experience the attitude changed drastically once negotiation began. It felt like they were used to dealing with wealthy overseas buyers who don't negotiate much. When I tried to negotiate, the tone became hostile and disrespectful. I was mocked, yelled at, and verbally abused. I also got the strong impression that customers who don't look wealthy--or who are Hispanic, Black, Asian, or otherwise perceived as not fitting their typical buyer profile--may be treated differently. Based on what I experienced and some patterns I noticed in other reviews, the behavior can come across as xenophobic and borderline discriminatory once they assume you might not be able to afford the car. If you still decide to visit, I strongly recommend going alone. Don't bring your girlfriend, wife, parents, or friends unless you're comfortable with the possibility of being insulted in front of them if negotiations don't go their way. Personally, I would suggest looking elsewhere. In today's economy, many used car dealerships are struggling and buyers often have more negotiating power than before. There are plenty of other places where you can get a better deal and be treated with professionalism and respect.

I confirmed the listing before heading down because I didn't want to waste a trip. When I arrived, I was told the vehicle wasn't actually available. Not only that, but the "new" Odyssey was supposedly a loaner vehicle that was still on the way from Honda and wouldn't even be available for another 60 days. That's not what was advertised. It felt like a classic bait-and-switch tactic -- advertise an aggressive price to drive clicks and get people in the door, only to tell them the car isn't really available once they show up. Driving two hours based on inaccurate information is incredibly frustrating and a waste of time. If you're shopping from out of town, I'd strongly recommend getting written confirmation with a VIN and verifying that the vehicle is physically on the lot before making the drive. I wish I had.

No pressure tactics, no surprise fees, fair pricing, and a quick and easy transaction. It's refreshing compared to the typical used car dealer experience, and I genuinely appreciated that. The Bad: I drove off the lot and immediately noticed two warning lights on the dash: charging port fault and airbag. You know how cars flash a few lights on startup and they disappear within seconds? That's what I assumed. Besides, you're spending $50K+ on a car and you don't expect to drive away with these active warnings. I simply trusted Zed on that. Both turned out to be real issues. $1,400 paid to fix it. During my inspection, one of the Falcon Wing doors hesitated when opening. Zed said it was probably the sun, shade, or dust interfering. I took his word for it. It wasn't. $650 quote from Tesla. One week later, a steering rack warning appeared. $4,000 quote. Total damage in week one: over $6,000 on top of the purchase price. My Take: I want to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he didn't know about these issues. But either way, it's clear these cars aren't being thoroughly inspected before they hit the lot. I'd give 3.5 stars if I could, but $6,000+ in repairs within a week makes 4 stars hard to justify. Would I buy from here again? "Maybe..." But next time I'm bringing my own inspector, spending more time on the test drive, and checking every light, every panel, and every moving part myself. Bottom line: Good dealer. Smooth process. But do NOT skip a thorough pre-purchase inspection. Do NOT assume the car is in good condition because you're having a good experience during your time at the dealership.

I was nervous as I arrived alone and every past experience with dealerships has been abrupt & rude and had felt like I got had at some level. The day before, I had consulted with Carmax who offered $1,900 less than the online Kelley Blue Book offer. The week before that, a friend offered to help me sell my Jeep but he tried to get me to sign my title without a date saying that's what all sellers do in advance of selling cars. (Never sign the title until the money has been surrendered to you and the buyer is standing in front of you. I felt betrayed and disappointed by the so-called "friend". I had already contacted a shop owner & friends who only purchase Jeeps. They all wanted to buy my Jeep but times are tough lately & no one was liquid to purchase. I'm telling you all this to let you know how discouraged and roughed up I was feeling by the time I arranged my appoint my for Phillips Auto to see my Jeep. I am spreading the word now that your experience with Phillips will also feel great. You will be greeted in a friendly, professional casual manner. I finally met the affable Andreas (who had been communicating with me about my Jeep I was thinking of selling) and the impressive Bianca who feels like a friend from the start. She is in charge and you feel comfortable and charmed and informed. Both are kind and efficient while appraising my vehicle. Bianca's experienced eye and candor helps the checklist go fast. Their offer price was transparent and fair; very close to my Kelley Blue Book estimate. Bianca is prepared and lets you k is what she is thinking & openly helps you along with understanding the process. I chose to finalize selling my Jeep to Phillips because they gave me a fair offer and did not waste my time. Also, there was no pressure; they gave me the time I needed to call a couple friends' approval to hear their thumb's up. I got free water & a peaceful environment despite other customers & representatives doing business. The showroom is busy but not loud or bustly. Yes, I could have gone privately to sell my Jeep. But I had to get real with myself; I have never sold a vehicle privately before & my Jeep was older & would need time & investment of staging it well to sell it in my own. I did not have the knowledge to do all the trudge work necessary & not the time to meet & haggle with prospective buyers when Phillips has the staff & equipment to pass the Wrangler along to someone who would be just as happy with it as I have been driving it. The paperwork was quick. Phillips will do everything needed. All I did was sign & cancel my car insurance--and that process was not as nice as selling the car, wouldn't you know?! (I certainly felt taken advantage of by my car insurance later that day. That is a different and not as cheerful of a Yelp review & I have been with the same insurance company for 40 years.) Phillips treated me better on our first transaction than my long term insurance agent. Phillips Auto even provided me a complimentary Uber ride home. The wonderful element about Phillips is integrity & decency at this family-owned dealership. My car insurance franchise is also family-owned. Mind boggling with how wonderful I regard Phillips Auto. I'm going to keep referring all whom I care about to do business with Phillips Auto. Bianca is stellar. Please tell her you read this review. She is great people!!
