I almost never write reviews, but I'm compelled to this time because I had such a great experience with Phillips Auto, and namely with Jerry Fontaine (such a stud!). The whole experience was painless and positive. Typically buying a car is an all-day experience, but with Jerry and Phillips Auto, we got straight to it, total transparency and honesty, and I was in/out of there in the shortest amount of time possible. Highly recommend Phillips Auto. Ask for Jerry! read more

Purchased a 2014 Porsche 911 Carrera yesterday from Jerry Fontaine at Phillips Auto in Newport Beach. Not only is it a beautiful, well maintained car with all the service records, but also every detail and feature of the car and the purchase of it was thoroughly gone over by Jerry. He spent a lot of time, working on putting together an extended warranty and lowest interest rate possible that met my needs to buy this car. The level and quality of service cant get any better. It's now easy to understand why and how Phillips Auto has been around for 40 yrs. Tom in Irvine, CA read more

A special shoutout to Jerry Fontaine, the superstar dealer who helped me through the entire process. Jerry is the epitome of professionalism and expertise. He listened to what I wanted, and offered suggestions without being pushy. He made the car-buying process feel smooth and stress-free, which is rare these days. Jerry was incredibly patient with all my questions (and I had a lot!), and he genuinely wanted to help me find the perfect car, not just make a sale. He's not your typical dealer--he's passionate and his enthusiasm shines through in how he treats his customers. By the end of it, I drove away in my dream Porsche, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. If you're heading to this dealership, ask for Jerry--you won't regret it! I'll definitely be recommending him to all my friends and family. Thank you, Jerry! read more

Phillips Auto recently sold a Mustang for me on consignment, and it was a great experience. I feel like they got all the money for the car, and it ended up being a really solid deal for me. The buyer got an awesome car as well. Malcolm and Mike were great to work with, and I highly recommend using them when selling a niche/collector car like mine. read more

Trevor is the best! Easiest car sales experience ever. No hassle or haggling from the team, everyone was so accommodating. Appreciate it!

Incredible experience from start to finish. I shopped around to 6 different places for offers on my car I was trying to sell and I actually got contacted by Phillips Auto after filling out an online form to get information. They were very kind and helpful from before I even got to the lot. Sometimes these car companies feel very robotic and scammy. At Phillips, it was the complete opposite! I brought my car in, they looked at it, drove it and asked a few questions. I passed off the keys and was on my way in one hour. I truly can't thank these guys enough! The process was seamless and they were genuinely pleasant in trying to help me out. I couldn't have asked for an easier process. I was able to get my dream car the next day thanks to Phillips. Shoutout to Trevor and James! I owe you both! Highly highly recommended! At the very least, stop by and try it out for yourself before going anywhere else. You won't be disappointed. read more

We had an amazing experience buying a car with Mike Aziz!! He was so kind and helpful to me and my husband and the process went very quickly.

First class place. I wanted them to sell my Lamborghini Murcielago on consignment but they wouldn't because it needed a service. Wow. They turned money away to sell only cars that are up to standards and ready to roll. I guess if you want to BUY a car, this is the place. I respect them for their decision not to sell my Lambo unless I did the service. Stand out place that takes care of their customers. read more

Jerry Fontaine was absolutely fantastic to work with from beginning to end when purchasing my 991.2 C4S Porsche. The car was/is perfection, as you can imagine. Jerry helped find the right competitive bank to work with, provided a great warranty and didn't pressure or push me on anything. Furthermore, he was just an all around great human being. I did have one thing notification pop up on my car after I purchased it...a minor issue with one of the vacuum tubes. They helped cover the cost of the repair. Phillips Auto is a great experience from beginning to end. Definitely ask for Jerry if you want an honest no pressure guy to work with. read more

I cannot say enough positive things about Jerry Fontaine!!!!

Driving by on PCH I always see the beautiful cars at Phillips Auto. I decided to stop in and take a look. They have an amazing selection of unique luxury cars and SUVs. I don't like my car to look just like everyone else's so this is the place for me. I met Niko and he patiently showed me Porsche, Tesla, Mercedes and Jaguars that we're all one of a kind and I definitely won't have the same car as my friends. Niko is very knowledgeable and was able to tell me about each of the cars, list pros and cons based on my driving and lifestyle. I appreciate his knowledge and his interest in helping me find the best car for me. I found my dream car and Niko was able to help me complete the purchase with ease and it didn't take an entire day. I will be telling all of my friends and recommending Phillips Auto and Niko to get the car of their dreams too! read more

I recently purchased my dream car from Mike Alibrando and Mike Aziz at Phillips Auto. I was worried as this being my first dream car like purchase, I might get a hard time from the sales team. It was just the opposite. The whole process was easy, and the sales guys were like a dream team. No issues at all, treated me with respect, super friendly, answered all questions... I was an out of town buyer, they coordinated the PPI and even brought the car to the service shop of my choosing to get the PPI done. After a clean PPI, I went to sign for it and they had a big red bow on my new car for pickup. How amazing is that! I'm really happy with the car and equally as happy that I got to deal with the Mikes at Phillips. Awesome experience! read more

The best car buying experience I have ever had! Thanks again to Mike! You made it a seamless transaction! Recommending to all my neighbors, Family & friends! Look forward to the next one read more

Jerry is the best! The inventory at Phillips Auto is impressive when it comes to high-end used vehicles. Everything from Porsche, Ferrari, Tesla, Audi and more. Jerry provided his knowledge and expertise of the vehicle we purchased, a 2021 Porsche Taycan Turbo S. There were no annoying sales tactics or unprofessional practices displayed during our time with Jerry. He was even nice enough to follow up with us the next day with a simple phone call to just say how much he appreciated our business and if we had any questions or concerns to, please let him know. We definitely will return to Jerry and Phillips Auto for our next used vehicle purchase! read more

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

Lets start off with "I should have known better" & "too good to be true." I purchased a pre owned vehicle from this business on March 2024. My sales rep Mike Aziz was overall pleasant to deal with. The reason of this review is to enlighten all from the "typical" used car dealer tactics. At first the price listed online was changed on me once I was interested in the vehicle. They did the "oh it was a mistake on our end the price was listed incorrectly." Me still being very interested in that specific vehicle I proceeded with the paperwork for purchase. I am located across the country so making this purchase was nerve wrecking & a learning experience at most. I should have known the price change was the first hint on what to expect. Secondly once the needed paperwork work was processed and deal was funded as usual you would expect them to start working on insurance/title/dmv/etc. While I worked on getting the transport company scheduled for pickup, not much was done on their end. I was told to start working on getting a temp plate in my state so i can have it ready to drive once it arrived to me. Now it took just over a week to receive the vehicle and about the 2nd day in possession I got notice that they starting working with dmv/tittle company. It took exactly 1.5 months to receive documentation & legally have the vehicle on the road. Yes I was told the process takes some time and it was up to dmv from my state to a certain extent. As mentioned before i wish they would have just started the process earlier as soon as the deal was funded. Meanwhile I was told wait time shouldn't matter because I said it was going to be garaged. That is up to me & not them nor anyone to decide if i want to or can drive the vehicle. I purchased it and plan on doing what I please. Fast forward to the point where i can legally drive the vehicle I go ahead and schedule an appointment at my local dealer. I bring it in for inspection and they do a walkthrough of the vehicle on the lift & you can clearly see it has a pre existing oil leak on the drive axle on one side only. I then go ahead reach out to my sales rep and he claims there were no issues prior. He provided all these documents stating no leaks, no problems, etc. As seen in the pictures attached, that is a pre existing oil leak. You can tell it's not fresh due to debris build up.I requested assistance on the repair and was simply told no. I called the following the day and spoke to the general manager Michael Alibrando & in his words to me "i will not partake in any needed repairs. Once the vehicle is sold, I wash my hands with that transaction. Especially after 2 months." Just WOW. Don't forget it sat for 2 months with no option. I have worked & still am currently employed for a big automotive dealership for the past 12 years. I have worked for many of the top well known manufacturers which has made me learn "once a customer, always a customer." I am more upset of how they handled this situation than the actual problem. I have never personally experienced such a poor attitude from a dealer who is well known with a very respectable inventory. They do have some top high end models but as they said once the unit is sold you are on your own. They no longer care for you or any future business. Keep in mind the vehicle needs some maintenance done as well but all I requested was assistance on the oil leak repair. I was told multiple times that I should have purchased or purchase an extended warranty now. Again the issue was pre existing. With 12 years of knowledge and work skills 3rd party warranty will not cover pre existing failure from a purchased date.. If attempted to claim that is called fraud. Sorry for the long review but it has everything as a whole what to expect from your typical highway used car dealership from start to end. You're just a next number. read more

First timer to Phillips Auto, local to SoCal and wanted a Continental Flying Spur they had on the lot. From the start, the selection of cars yet low-key no stress vibe was impressive and awesome. Jerry was very welcoming and all around great salesperson. I did end up purchasing the vehicle which Jerry did everything he could to make it smooth sailing.
