    My friend called in about a 2015 Z 06 3LZ Z07 package and spoke to a guy named Thomas who was very helpful as well as the owner Tim. They were really easy to work with and made us feel comfortable about our purchase. Highly recommend this place. They have great inventory and fair prices. Thank you North State auto for making my friend Nino's dream car come to reality.

    Came in to North State Auto to upgrade from my Mazda 3 to something a bit nicer and faster. After much research and help from Thomas, Tim, and David, I finally settled on a beautiful 2015 Lexus RCF. Car is in perfect condition, clean, and fast. Their team helped me with my trade, and got me into this beautiful car! Thank you guys!

    I bought a car from North State Auto in Nov. 2016. Less than 2 months later, the car started having problems. And it hasn't stopped since. I paid $27,000 for a 2011 Land Rover. A "great deal" the sales guy said. I've spend almost 10k on repairs and maintenance but mostly, on diagnostic work. Trying to figure out why it won't pass a smog test(??). I can't renew the registration without a smog and without a current registration, I can't drive it. So I bought another car. The Land Rover just sits there. I still owe 8k on it so I pay $330 a month for a car that I can't drive and don't feel right selling to any decent human being. FML....I think the fair thing to do would be for them allow me a trade or a partial refund of some sort.

    Penny test.  My 1 day old truck fails on every tire.

    I bought a 2019 Ford Ranger with 32,000 from this business. The buying process was quick and easy. The service was spectacular. Maurice was awesome. However, the next day after buying my truck it started to rain and I noticed it seriously lacked traction. Shame on me, this is the first time I examined the tires. Turns out they were extremely worn. I'm no expert, but I used the penny test as my basis for measurement. It failed the penny test on every tire. I called North State Auto and they informed me it's company policy to not replace tires unless they are below 4/32. I decided to have the truck independently evaluated at a tire store. They rated my tires at 3,3,3,4. They also informed me it starts to become unsafe driving on tires with such low tread. 2 is the CalTrans LEGAL limit. North State Auto sold me a car with tire tread that was only 1mm over the legal limit. Yes, it's technically over the legal limit, but it's that tread depth is still not exactly considered safe by any tire expert. I called North State Auto again the next day to inform them of the safety hazard. They informed me at this point that it is company policy not to replace any tires at 3 or higher. They told me they would get me new tires at the company discounted rate. And they would install them for me for free. I'm so disappointed to be forced to buy 4 new tires 3 days after I bought the truck. I feel stupid for not checking, but I also feel ripped off. On a side note...I've currently been at North State Auto now for over 2hrs and 40mins waiting for them to change 4 tires.... The car sales experience is wonderful. But beware of the shop department. I would have your vehicle independently evaluated for safety before purchasing. If they cut corners on something so obvious as tire tread, who knows what they're allowing to pass their inspections under the hood. The safety standards are the very bare minimum here

    5 STARS -- Outstanding Experience! Danny Baptista reached…read moreout to me after I submitted an online inquiry, and we stayed in touch by text while I was at another private dealership comparing the model, options, and pricing. Danny kept telling me that making the 30-minute drive to his corporate dealership would be worth it. He said they had plenty of inventory, could work out a great deal, and that I wouldn't leave without a new car. I admired his confidence... Boy, was he right! I never expected to drive away in a fully loaded, latest-generation 2027 CLA 220 FWD Hybrid, especially considering I still had six months left on my Lexus hybrid lease and wasn't even in the market for a new car just yet, research mode. But once I saw this car unexpectedly next to the black one we were going to focus on, I gravitated to it. The red exterior, black wheels, and red/white/black interior combination is absolutely gorgeous. Add the ambient lighting, screens stretching across the dash, all the latest technology... this car is one incredible experience. And the deal made it even better. Danny was outstanding from start to finish. He was patient, knowledgeable, responsive, persistent, easy to work with, and genuinely committed to making the deal happen. He worked with management and never made me feel pressured. A huge shout-out to Nick, the Sales Manager, as well. He worked with me through the final negotiations and ultimately helped seal the deal with a pretty bow. His flexibility was the difference between me buying the car there versus going somewhere else. Danny and Nick made a great duo and tag-teamed the entire process very well. They didn't just earn my business--they earned my loyalty. And I can't forget Mohammad behind the scenes! I probably reviewed the paperwork more thoroughly than anyone would, but he remained patient, transparent, knowledgeable, and even managed to keep a sense of humor throughout the process. Great guy! This was my first Mercedes, and based on this experience, it potentially won't be my last. I came in simply exploring my options, and drove out in a car I absolutely look forward to showcasing more. Time to feel that elevated experience... That says a lot about the product, the value, and--most importantly--the people. Danny, Nick, Mohammad -- thank you for making this experience memorable. You guys delivered! If you're considering a Mercedes, I highly recommend giving these guys a chance. The 30-minute drive was absolutely worth it. Work hard, play hard. Well done, team!

Buying a new car can be stressful and overwhelming, but Ron made it the complete opposite. He was knowledgeable, patient, honest, incredibly helpful, and never once made me feel pressured. He genuinely cared about making sure I was happy and getting exactly what I wanted. He answered every question, kept everything easy and straightforward, and made what is normally a long, exhausting process actually enjoyable. What really stood out was how personable and genuine Ron was. He didn't make me feel like "just another sale." He treated me like someone he truly wanted to take care of, and that kind of customer service is hard to find anymore. I am OBSESSED with my new 4Runner, and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better person to buy it from. If you are even thinking about buying a Toyota, GO SEE RON WILLIAMS AT WALNUT CREEK TOYOTA. Seriously. Ask for Ron. You will not regret it. Thank you, Ron, for making such a big purchase such an amazing experience. You absolutely earned a customer for life. 10/10, five stars isn't enough!

    Tire and Wheel Warranty…read more When I arrived to pick up my 2026 911 Carrera, the finance manager spoke to me about purchasing the tire and wheel warranty package. He mentioned that it was the only warranty package that must be purchased before leaving the dealership. I can understand why. About four months after taking delivery of my car, the left rear tire kept losing air, very slowly. I searched for a puncture, but could not find one. At five months, I got curb rash on my right front wheel...ugh. Caner had contacted me for a six-month follow-up, and I mentioned both issues. It was during that conversation that he asked if I'd like a service tech to contact me. That is when I spoke to Tim Wong over the phone. We made an appointment for the very next day, and I drove to the dealership. After filling out some paperwork, Tim let me know that my warranty included a loaner car, and he offered me a new Macan. While in the waiting room, I heard the receptionist offer local customers Uber service to their homes and back. I dropped off my 911 on Thursday, and it was ready for pickup on the following Tuesday. I mentioned to Tim that I had an appointment on Monday, so he kindly arranged my pickup for the following day. The man who serviced my car, Bowdoin, sent me a video of the car's inspection via Tim's email. He was very thorough and friendly in his assessment. Caner was off that day, so he arranged for Hart to go over some of the PCM questions I had. He answered both and was engaging, friendly, and professional. My left rear tire had a nail, which caused a slow leak. The tire was replaced. The curb rash on my right front rim was fixed as well. I've come to realize that a brand is only as good as the people who represent that brand. So many of my friends have said, "Yeah, they should do that since it's a Porsche and the amount you have to pay for them!" In theory, that makes sense. Yet I've had horrible encounters at Porsche Fremont, and it is the same ownership as Walnut Creek Porsche, Fletcher Jones. Two opposed levels of service. My friend, who has owned 14 911s, has his cars serviced at Monterey Porsche, and his stories are horrible. This is not just Porsche, but any brand, Sony, Canon, etc. These are the individuals I have encountered at Walnut Creek Porsche, and I could not be more pleased with the levels of service I have received. Tim Wong Hart Benson Caner Nisanoglu Kasia Ksarzynski Bowdoin I've always contended that the leadership of any organization is reflected in the staff. My compliments to the manager of Walnut Creek Porsche. Thank you.
