Before I even stepped foot on the lot, he had already sent me the CARFAX report and answered every question I had. When I arrived, Tony took the time to walk me through the vehicle again, making sure I had every opportunity to inspect it inside and out, under the hood, and underneath the van. He encouraged me to take it for a thorough test drive and never made me feel rushed or pressured. Every question I asked was answered honestly and professionally. I explained my payment situation and what I needed for my business, and Tony and his team worked hard to find a solution that fit. Their professionalism, transparency, and customer service exceeded every expectation I had. As the owner of Another Plumber, I rely on dependable vehicles to serve my customers, and I couldn't be happier with this experience. I'll absolutely be purchasing my next work vehicle from Tony and his team. Without a doubt, this was the best vehicle-buying experience I've ever had. In my opinion, they provide the best customer service in all of San Diego. Highly recommended!

I went to Carmax on a Monday after work, without an appointment, and they were able to see me right away. Since the quote started online, it was an easy process to get registered by scanning a barcode and answering a few questions at the window. Once they test drove the car, the quote was the same. I was then given a list of instructions for my Tesla to reset it to its original factory settings. Please note that you have to do all the steps, even the step for the associate. Once that was done, I was brought over to talk to one of reps who presented the paperwork to sign. It was minimal and the explanation was clear. My balance due at the bank will be handled by Carmax and I was given the remainder of the profit via check. The process was pretty seamless! I'd definitely come back again if I have to sell my car.

    5 Stars - Outstanding Experience at Miramar Motorsports…read more My wife and I recently purchased a Toyota Sequoia from Miramar Motorsports, and we could not be more satisfied with the entire experience. As a 67-year-old business owner, I have purchased many vehicles over the years for both personal and business use. Without hesitation, I can say that Miramar Motorsports is one of the most professional, organized, and customer-focused dealerships I have ever worked with anywhere in the country. Miramar Motorsports is a family-owned business, and we had the pleasure of working directly with Ali and Mike. From start to finish, they were friendly, knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely committed to providing an exceptional customer experience. They made us feel valued throughout the entire process. The Toyota Sequoia we purchased was exactly as advertised and in outstanding condition. What really impressed me was the level of care and attention they put into preparing their vehicles. Their in-house mechanics thoroughly serviced the vehicle using quality replacement parts. Since the mileage was approaching the manufacturer's recommended timing belt service interval, they proactively replaced the timing belt and addressed other important maintenance items at the same time. They also replaced the water pump, front brakes, and rotors, ensuring the vehicle was ready for years of reliable service. Another thoughtful touch was that they had the catalytic converter stamped for identification purposes in the event it is ever stolen. This demonstrated their commitment to protecting their customers even after the sale. The paperwork process was equally impressive. Everything was handled professionally and presented in a well-organized binder. They took the time to review the Carfax report with us line by line, explaining every detail and answering all of our questions. As an added bonus, they even sent us home with a full tank of gas. Anyone living in California knows that's not a small gesture these days! It's just another example of the extra steps they take to make sure their customers leave completely satisfied. I simply cannot say enough positive things about the way we were treated by everyone at Miramar Motorsports. Their honesty, professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to customer satisfaction are second to none. When it comes time to purchase another vehicle, I will absolutely return to Miramar Motorsports and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a quality vehicle and an outstanding buying experience.

Everything felt dialed in, and Ali took the time to explain what was done and why. Super knowledgeable and easy to talk to. You can tell he actually cares about the quality of his work and isn't just trying to move inventory. That's rare. If you're looking for someone who knows these trucks and does things the right way, definitely hit him up.

My initial sales experience back in November was a nightmare. The salesperson seemed focused only on his commission, the car didn't come with a spare key, and I didn't realize until I got home that they hadn't even filled the gas tank. I honestly avoided returning here because of how poorly I was treated. However, I recently had to come in for issues with my TPMS sensors and a faulty door sensor. A huge shout-out to Sal and Felipe in the service department for turning things around. They were incredibly efficient, accommodating, and made me feel like a truly valued customer. They had everything fixed overnight, and I was able to pick up my car the very next day. If you need service, ask for Sal, he saved the experience for me

From the very beginning, the experience was a mess. I first called to ask about the part and was shuffled back and forth between the parts department and service department, which was already frustrating. When I finally reached someone, the employee was kind and told me to come in so they could check it out. A few days later, I showed up in person and the same thing happened -- bounced between parts and service, multiple employees who didn't seem trained or aware of how to help with a simple issue. Eventually, Michael helped me and assured me they would order the part ASAP. He gave me the price, said they could install it, and I confirmed the cost multiple times to avoid any surprises. I asked if I should pay now or get some kind of confirmation or estimated date, but they gave me nothing. Strange, but since they're the Acura dealership, I trusted them. They offered a free car wash while I waited -- and I regret accepting it. It took over an hour, even after I mentioned I was pressed for time and just needed the car checked. Once it was finally done, I had to keep asking for updates because it felt like they forgot about me. I left with no paperwork, no confirmation, nothing... but still hopeful they'd follow through. A month later, nothing. No call, no update, no part. After three weeks, I called to check in. The person who answered had no idea what I was talking about. It was like the order never existed. He said he would talk to Michael and get back to me. Of course, no one ever did. No call, no email, nothing. This place is unprofessional, disorganized, and clearly not on top of anything. I wish I hadn't wasted my time coming here or waiting for them. Now I have to start the entire process over somewhere else. Would not recommend this dealership at all.

The price was fair from the start, and they encouraged me to be as thorough in inspecting the vehicle as I needed to be. I test drove it on two different occasions, once with analytics. They gave me the full vehicle history and a CarFax report. They answered all of my questions and never once made me feel pressured or unwelcome to do my due diligence. No pushy or shady sales tactics at all - purely a service-oriented approach. I got to talk to both of Mark and Sean one-on-one quite a bit and feel like I got to know each of them individually. I really enjoyed our interactions. They exhibited honesty and transparency - once they proactively refunded me after finding that a lower tax rate applied to my purchase, and then, after purchasing the vehicle, I received a check for overpaying the DMV fees. I plan on having my car for a long time, but if my wife or anyone close to me is looking to buy a vehicle, West Coast Auto Finance is at the top or my list of recommendations.

    Dear friends: I just…read morewant to recommend a business to you in San Diego and tell you why. The name of the business is Cyrus auto sales in Kearny Mesa. I first met the owner Dan about six years ago. When I was looking for a Prius. I realized he was a wonderful human being, but he didn't have the car in his lot that I was looking for and subsequently bought elsewhere. My daughter Casey also bought a Prius elsewhere but a few months into her purchase had a problem with the battery , I remembered Dan and took the car to him $600 later Casey had essentially a brand new lithium battery installed in her Prius. Those are the ones that you've heard can cost to $3000. He did it for $600 (replacing only bad cells)and the car ran beautifully. A couple of days ago my Prius started making the most God awful noise and shuttered to beat the band. I had an appointment in El Centro and asked a mechanic down there to look at it and he said it's in the engine. We're gonna have to get a new engine for you if you want to do that it'll be about $1500, 2500 to 3000 installed. I started looking for a new car and then I remembered Dan. I took the car in to Dan told him my tail of whoa. The car has now been driven 150 miles with this banging. Dan said I'll have my mechanic look at it and see what we can do. He said I would not put a new engine in it. It's too expensive not really cost-effective if I can fix it I will. If not, I will tell you . Today ( I took it in yesterday ) I'm picking up my car today for a total price of $300. My issue resolved. This is an honest man with a small business and if you're in need of a car or service, give Dan a call. You'll be doing yourself and Dan a service. 858-277-1028.

    This review is 8 months over due…read more WARNING: if you ever want to get a used car through Cyrus Autosales, it pays to go to Toyota San Diego and speak to the manager there. Though you've to fork money out to have them do a safety/pre-buyers inspection on the car. If I had done that, I wouldn't have bought this car from this dealership at all. Dan passed off the visual inspection sheet from Toyota as a safety inspection sheet. That in itself is FRAUD and something that I actually consulted an auto fraud lawyer about. For starters , when I got my car and took it to AAA less than 12 hours after picking up and paying $10,200 for the car, it was leaking coolant and 2 error codes- one for the 12 volt and the other for the engine came up. Dan CLAIMED that the AAA auto repair shop I went to didn't know what they were doing. The window gears were also noisy and parts of the cars rubber were melted due to heat damage. The dash screen was also very brown due to heat damage. A Toyota estimate to fix that screen was between $1500-4000. Dan replaced the melted hatch back handle and fixed the leaking coolant but didn't address the noisy gears or the error codes. To compound issues, within 3 weeks of buying the car, my combination meter started malfunctioning. This happens when the combination meter blacks out (the part that shows speeds and hazard lights) and you are not able to turn your car on and off. Over the next 3 weeks it got so bad to the point that I could not drive the car to classes as it would not turn off. Dan OFFERED TO FOOT PART OF A BACK ALLEY FIX WITH A Junkyard Prius' COMBINATION METER. I refused as that would alter the odometer and have no guarantees of an actual fix. As such I ended up having to tow my car to Toyota San Diego for service. Turns out the same error codes pulled up by AAA were pulled up by Toyota. My coolant valve was not properly supplying my engine with coolant and that's why my engine light kept coming up and one of the two error codes was for that. At that point I couldn't drive my car anymore as it would not even turn on. The other error code was because my 12 Volt was fried and needed to be replaced. In the process of Toyota replacing my combination meter, most of the frames holding my aircon vents crumbled and they had to replace all the vents. To sum it up, within 6 weeks of purchasing my car, I had to spend almost $1800 just to make this car safe to drive. I also found out that I overpaid for the car as when I tried to sell the car to Carmax even after fixing all the problems, they only offered me a paltry $5k for everything. I was told by the manager that they wouldn't sell my car for more than $8k (vs the $10,200 I paid). As such, I have decided to retain this car even with more potential problems due to the car's poor maintenance prior to me buying it. He also sold me a regular Prius control instead of a smart key which is what my car uses. If he were truly that "Prius expert" he calls himself, surely he would not have sold me the wrong key. I did return that key to him. Please be careful if you'd like to buy a used Prius from him. Don't let these nice reviews fool you. Speak to Toyota San Diego about the car you are considering from him.
