Special thanks to Michael Alibrando - General Sales Manager and MJ (Mike) Lumia - Sales Manager for their assistance and promptly answering my questions. Thanks guys, Sam Scott read more

Phillips Auto - Audi Q5 - Car Dealers Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Phillips Auto is on PCH across the street from Balboa Bay Resort in Newport Beach. Parking is easy. The property is clean walking in the jewel box of collector's cars. 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!! read more

Malcolm is someone you can trust. Excellent company ! If you're looking to purchase a used vehicle or if you're looking to sell your vehicle, this is the place to go read more

I would not recommend anyone to purchase a car at this location. Prices are not competitive in my opinion and let's not talk about the Customer Service that hasn't changed in a decade. read more

Jerry Fontaine was great during the entire process. I did 99% of the transaction over the phone and text . I knew what I wanted and I knew what to pay for it . That helps a lot when shopping for your 2nd largest purchase you will ever make in your life . Went in and signed docs . The signing process would have only taken about 30-60min but Jerry and were chatting always about life so it took longer lol. But all And all. Great experience! read more

Great selection of beautiful cars. Mike Aziz made the whole purchase process smooth and easy. This was without a doubt the best car buying experience I've ever had. Thank you to Mike and the entire staff at Phillips. I won't need another car for a couple of years, but I will be returning when I do. read more

Bianca was so great to work with and really helped me out with some unexpected hurdles when selling one of my Porche's. That said she was kind and fair negotiating the purchase of my vehicle. I' was already a fan of Phillips Auto before this transaction and now I'm a super fan! It's nice to see a family business where people actually care about their customers. It feels like we are getting farther away from the human element in every facet of life. Thank you for being decent humans! read more

Phillips is truly a quality dealership. From start to finish, every single employee shows that they genuinely care about their customers and the experience they provide. Trevor is absolutely amazing at what he does--knowledgeable, patient, and committed to making sure everything goes smoothly. And thank you, Malcolm, for your professionalism and support throughout the process. If you're thinking about buying a car from Phillips, you won't regret spending your money here. They care, they follow through, and they make the entire experience feel easy and worthwhile. Highly recommend! read more

I found my Porsche 911 Turbo online and Jerry Fontaine made the entire process--from my first inquiry call through the pre-purchase inspection to the final sale--smooth and genuinely enjoyable.

It was a truly positive experience from start to finish. read more

Recently sold a car here to them. Was pleasantly surprised how helpful honest and kind they were. Michael who runs the show was a class act and definitely a rare breed in an industry that doesn't always have the best reputation. Would hesitate to go back there for a fair deal and to be treated with respect. Highly recommend. read more

Bought a GT43 from Phillips Auto yesterday, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. I had been eyeing this car for about a year but couldn't find pricing/mileage/options that felt right to me--until I came across the one they had listed. ASK FOR JERRY! He was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely fun to work with--definitely a funny guy who made the whole process enjoyable. He spent hours with me during the purchase and never made me feel rushed. The car itself was reconditioned beautifully and exceeded my expectations. Overall, I'm very satisfied with both the vehicle and the buying experience. I would absolutely recommend Phillips Auto and working with Jerry if you're in the market for a car. read more

Phillips Auto was very helpful in how they handle my trade-in. No pressure and very transparent. Thank you!

I had the best experience with Mike he was very patient with me. I live in Sacramento and when I walk in the showroom the car was nicer than the pictures I was looking at on line. Mike had all the paper work all ready for me and took the time to explain the function of the car. As soon as I can I will be buying my next car from Mile for my wife. read more

Trevor was great. They took an offer from a different dealership, beat it, and made it super easy. Only took about 30 minutes from the time I got there till when I walked out with my check. read more

Trevor contacted me because of an inquiry through KBB. I told him that the Kelly blue book estimate was too low for me to consider selling my car at the present time. He understood my concerns and offered me the chance to talk about different options with absolutely no pressure from the dealership. I went down with the car and talked about the price I needed to sell it and without any haggling , he was able to complete the deal in just a few minutes. No back and forth nonsense. He completed the paperwork and issued me a check within an hour of my arrival. Great people to do business with, I would love to buy a car from them someday. read more

After dealing with typical tactics from dealerships, this family owned, honest, straightforward experi was a breath of fresh air. They have beautiful cars and they are great to deal with. Highly recommend. Trevor especially really did a great job and is a genuine, good guy. read more

I rarely take the time to write reviews, but this experience truly deserves one. From the moment I received a call from Phillips Auto, I could immediately feel that Trevor operates differently than most. He was honest, and genuinely focused on helping me rather than just making a sale. That alone already set them apart. Trevor was the highlight of the entire experience. He is one of those rare people you meet who is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also genuinely kind and personable. You can tell right away that he cares about doing things the right way. No pressure, no games, just honest guidance and a real effort to make sure everything was handled well. In a world where good service often feels hard to find, Trevor and the team at Phillips Auto absolutely restore your faith that businesses like this still exist. If you're looking for a place that treats people with respect, integrity, and professionalism, this is it. I cannot recommend them enough. Trevor, thank you for being such a genuinely awesome human and for making the entire experience so enjoyable. Five stars without hesitation. read more

Don't normally leave yelp reviews but I figured I'd share my experience with the yelp universe. I worked with Jerry from start to finish and his knowledge and experience was super helpful in getting me extra savings and letting me know of things I should know. I won't hesitate to use them again in the future for my family. Another thing I really appreciated was this is a family business and everyone really cared that I was satisfied with my purchase and with the whole process. Thank you to Jerry and everyone at Phillips auto! read more

Jerry, Michael and Malcom run the tightest dealership in the state! Over the last twenty years, I have purchased over twenty cars from them, consigned two and have had nothing but a perfect 10 experience each and every time. If you want to deal with fair, honest and professional people, Phillip's Auto is your place! read more

Recently bought a Defender 90, after large purchase jitters, this dealer sold me a great vehicle. Plus a great aftermarket warranty. They help with getting familiar with the total operation of the vehicle. Thanks Phillips auto staff. Charles read more

What a tremendous experience from beginning to end..! The whole team at Phillips is welcoming and personable. I would like to express my gratitude to Jerry and how much time and care he took in securing us the best options for financing. We were his last customer of the day and the process ran well beyond the closing time of normal operations and Jerry was just as accommodating at the end of the sale as he was when we met.. he even offered and took the time to help me link my cell phone.. Mr. Phillips you have a great team and business model. You should be proud of your son Trevor, what a great young man. Thank you.. we will be back..!! read more

I purchased a 2019 BMW 440i hard top convertible from Mike Aziz. Every step from test drive to signing the paperwork was exceptional. I made a few complaints about the car after purchased. Michael A.

A BIG shout out to all employees at Phillips Auto who assisted me in the purchase and delivery of my BMW. I am glad I purchased my BMW from Phillips Auto.

First, this review is overdue. Second, I normally do not write reviews but with the service I received at Phillips Auto in Newport Beach, I decided I should share my experience. I was very pleased with the whole experience. From the process of the trade-in of my old vehicle to the purchase of the new (used) vehicle, I was completely satisfied with my purchasing experience. I first made contact with Mike Aziz via email who then followed up with a phone call. I told Mike that it would probably be a couple of days before I could come down to Orange County to check out the vehicle and he set up an appointment. Mike did not hound me with phone calls or text messages about coming to the dealership to view and test drive the vehicle. Mike did follow up the night before to confirm the vehicle was still available and the appointment was set. Upon arriving, Mike was tied up with a walk-in customer. Mike quickly arranged for Jerry Fontaine to assist me with viewing and test driving the vehicle. Jerry was very patient and walked me through the traded-in and buying process. Once I made the decision to get the vehicle, the purchasing process was so smooth and painless. It was the best vehicle purchase I have ever had. Thank you, read more

I recently purchased a new Jeep at Phillips Auto, I had the pleasure of working with Jerry. The very best part was it was a zero pressure situation, from the car purchase to the option presented to me for an extended warranty. Jerry very patiently walked me through all of my options and answered all of my questions and we found the best options for me that aligned. I would 100% refer anyone to work with Phillips auto and Jerry. There car purchase team is also top notch and I would and most likely will come back to them to sell if needed. Thank you to everyone at Phillips for a genuinely great experience. read more

I sold my car here a few days ago. Bianca was so easy to work with, kind, knowledgeable, and made the whole process stress free for me.

Went in to give a buddy a ride home. Fell in love with a chalk turbo Cayenne Coupe with PCCBs and more. The vehicle was a unique spec given my taste in Porsche. They gave me a build sheet, carfax and I went home to study the market. Came back next business day and did the deal. They purchased my 9 year old Porsche at a fair whole-sale price and made the transaction hassle free. Some very minor issues came up after the deal but they did not even blink and jumped right in to take care of me post transaction as well. Do your homework, and know the terms of the contract. That is crucial. I highly recommend working with Michael Alibrando and Mike Aziz. These guys have 30 plus years experience and they won't waist your time. Phillips is fortunate to have very good staffing with lots of experience. I can highly recommend Phillips Auto. read more

Great experience! Went there specifically to see a certain vehicle. Was greeted by Mike Aziz who also helped me over the phone about the availability and warranty options. Super friendly and professional, but was busy with multiple clients and handed us over to Mike Alibrando. Mike was able to get us approved as well as won us over with his personality. Both Mike's worked together to get us out the door. We left feeling like family! Great experience, would definitely recommend and will be back for my 3rd car from Phillips in the future. read more

We recently purchased a new vehicle and needed to sell our old one. My husband did some magic online and Phillips Auto offered us the highest price for our car. We made an appointment to take the car on a Saturday morning and while my husband handled the paperwork I drove down the street to Cest Ci Bon to get a croissant sandwich and by the time I got back everything was done and we were on our way. Dealing with Phillips Auto was fast, simple and hassle free. read more
