I have purchased over 20 cars. Never has the experience been this awesome. I had been looking for an RS5 for over a year. I saw one for sale and it seemed too good to be true. It was priced without markup and without any hidden fees. Jerry Fontaine was so fast to respond and answer any questions or hesitations I had. The car was an older model so I bought a warranty plan which was such a good deal. I truly wish I could buy every car here forward from Phillips auto! read more

This is yet another review that starts with "I don't usually write reviews, but...". I had been searching for my dream car for well over a year and got to the point of almost giving up: went through a series of distasteful and upsetting experiences with brand dealerships and their sales personnel as well as the dreadful rabbit hole of online-only dealers. Up until when I noticed the perfect car pop-up at Phillips Auto, in the color I wanted, spec'd, and priced just right. I drove down to Newport Beach without any expectations whatsoever and ended up dealing with the most humane, pleasant, and simple car transaction I have ever had. I was supposed to hop on a plane the following day and Mike Aziz, without thinking twice, offered to keep the car safe in their storage for the entire length of my trip (almost a month over the Holidays). Transparency and communication were professional and personal throughout the entire process. Just outstanding. Mike and Phillips Auto really made it happen for me and I'm glad I found them. read more

Phillips is the BEST LUXURY CAR DEALERSHIP I've ever met, and I've met a lot of them because I looks for luxury cars for my clients all the time. The service level delivered by Rich is absolutely FIRST CLASS, he's just so genuinely caring the luxury car shopping experience from every aspect. AND they have a huge collection of cars. I'm one very happy customer. read more

Phillips provided a very pleasant experience of buying a nice car. I couldn't order a new model from a dealer as allocations are out but a lightly used consigned model came up here. I worked with Niko as an intro, then Morgan. I will say that my focus is on finding the right car and not on negotiating trivial amounts on the price, if the posted price was far off I would not have approached. Theresa zoomed though the final purchase process and it was so refreshing not to go through the normal dealer finance song and dance, also happily taking a personal check on a holiday weekend. read more

You've worked hard all your life. And today's the day you're going to reward yourself with an exotic, luxury automobile. You search online, find "Phillips Auto" in Newport Beach and you check out their site. It looks good. You're ready. Then you check Yelp. And you realize there's a pattern of negative reviews. Or worse, you forget to check Yelp (like me) before going to Phillips Auto and before you know it - AND BEFORE YOU EVEN GAVE THEM WRITTEN PERMISSION - they've run 6 HARD INQUIRIES on your credit score. Yes, that's exactly what happened to me with Phillips Auto. There are lots of options in the Newport area, STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE. They bait-and-switch on price, they lie to your face and they're not car experts at all. The employees here were selling mortgages last year and will be selling Bitcoin next year. They are ONLY about extracting as much money from your wallet as possible. They are amateurs. If you're a normal car shopper looking for a Corolla or a Taurus, then this should be fine with you. But if you're a sophisticated shopper whose worked hard to earn a lot of money, you deserve much better than this place. We have a new saying around here: "Every moment spent at Phillips auto is a moment you'll regret." read more

Wonderful experience when I purchased a car from here, both Mike and Michael are nice and pilot during the process. Highly recommended for a exotic car shop! read more

Mike and Connor were AWESOME! I got a great Mercedes at a very fair price and I love it. I've owned a few dozen vehicles and I have not had a more pleasant car buying experience. They went the extra mile to make sure everything was right! They even helped me get a side mirror replaced, and when I offered to pay for the labor (they purchased the part prior to me buying the car), I was told that it was taken care of. Even though I took possession of the car with the mirror as is. Great Job guys! read more

I recently purchased a vehicle from Phillips Auto in Newport Beach and it was absolutely the best car buying experience I ever had. From the moment I called to check the availability of a certain vehicle to the moment I drove off with my new purchase, I was treated like family. My salesman Niko, had a no pressure type approach when it came to showing me the ins and outs of the vehicle I was interested in, I never once felt uncomfortable. In fact, he made me feel confident that I was purchasing the right vehicle for me. Niko, Theresa, Yul and Josh and the entire Phillips Auto team, thank you for making my car buying experience one I will never forget. If anyone is interested in being treated the way you should be, when purchasing a vehicle, check out Niko@Phillips Auto of Newport Beach. read more

Jerry, what a great human you are. I appreciate the love you showed me from the opening phone call and throughout the whole transaction. I felt respected and cared for. Can't thank you enough. God bless you. read more

Purchased a car from Phillip's auto yesterday and I could not be happier with the process. Jerry was our salesman and he was not pushy or overbearing. really not like a car salesman at all. I think we're friends now! Plus, Phillip's auto has high quality cars. Great experience. Thanks Jerry! read more

Enjoyed the overall buying process from Phillips Auto. Jerry was very responsive, professional and easy to work with. Jerry also looked for every way possible to get me the best overall deal between trade in and financing. Wouldn't hesitate to buy another car from Phillips Auto. Job well done! read more

I recently purchased a car from the Phillips Auto team. I live in San Diego and after a few emails back and forth, I came on up and checked the car out and purchased it. The process was very easy. I have purchased dozens of cars in my life and this was the easiest experience I have had. I drove off happy and will definitely go back the next time im in the market. Also want to give Malcolm, the owner, a shout out. He is old school, respectful, and great business man. He believes in handshakes and talking, always makes sure people are taken care of, and their experiences are top notch at his dealership. Which this was for me. read more

I rarely post reviews unless I am horrifically dissatisfied and want to warn my fellow man! My experience with the process of buying a car has been on par with visiting the dentist. I take that back. I have better experiences at the dentist! But buying a car at Phillips made me feel like I had just gone in for a teeth whitening. It was totally painless and I left looking better! The salesman, Jerry, I had met before and told him what I was looking for- basically a clean low maintenance car at an affordable price. It took about a month from my initial conversation before I got a call. i thought he had forgotten about me but he REALLY WAS waiting for a great deal and the parameters I requested. I went down and test drove a car three years old with only 11,000 miles that looked like it was still on the showroom floor. It was in my budget, and a plug in hybrid that on my first tank of gas I got 92 miles to the gallon. And there was no pressure .. I actually drove a couple of others so he could prove to me that for the money I could not go wrong paying less money for a car that felt and acted brand new. And it was what I had told him I wanted while Not being drunk on the flash of a luxury vehicle name. He shopped finance rates for me that I couldn't believe I could get in this rising interest rate market. I am truly a happy customer! read more

Phillips auto is an incredible place to go if you are looking for a luxury vehicle. Jerry is so accommodating and personable and straight up! You never know if you're going to get a sleazy salesman, but I could honestly say I trust Jerry more than anyone. He shops around for the best possible interest rate for your situation. Cheers to you guys, I'm gonna recommend everyone to come here! read more

Had high expectations but was let down. Contacted them about a car. Was told they'd get in touch. No real contact, no info. Ignored my questions and human conversation.... responded with spam never addressing anything I wrote and contradicting their own statements. These guys are just your run of the mill used car scum bags. Don't be fooled. Better to deal with reputable sellers: go to eBay or BringATrailer. read more

Phillips Auto did an outstanding job with our Kelly Blue Book instant cash offer. Sujan met with us promptly after walking into the store and was very professional through the whole process. He even gave us some tips and advice that would help anybody looking to buy a used car. If you are in the market to buy a gently used luxury car or sell your car through the Kelly Blue Book Instant Cash Offer we recommend Phillips. Ask for Sujan when you get there! read more

Phillips Auto has a vast selection of beautiful cars, and boy do they shine! I left the lot very happy and satisfied with my new car. Thank you Mike Aziz, for showing me that awesome car and answering all my questions and thank you Michael Alibrando, for making the financing part fast, friendly, and easy. They were very cordial and welcoming. I would definitely purchase from them again! read more

Spectacular. Went down to sell a Lexus. It had an accident on the carfax when I bought it, which didn't bother me, until I tried to sell it....trust I was blowing up the dealership I bought it from. So I made a decent enough deal with the charming Malcolm. As he handed me a check, the original dealer called me back and offered to buy back the car for a better price. Malcolm happily undid our deal, and even got on the phone with the other dealer to make sure they weren't playing games. Really great people here. read more

Teresa is extremely rude and unprofessional. The dealer made an error and she did not own up to their error. Do not go here if you would like to be treated fairly. The other employees are friendly, but I would avoid working with Teresa if you don't want to be treated with respect. read more

I recently purchased a 2015 Black Raven Cadillac Escalade ESV Platinum in close to mint condition. Floor mats still has the "Dealer must remove" plastic on them (driver and passenger side) all headphones for the monitors were in its original packaging in boxes, also the rear net, and all the other little extras that come with the vehicle. Vehicle had less than 18,000 miles and still has Factory warranty. Tim was the gentleman who helped me with the vehicle. He was honestly true and explained everything to me and my friend that came with me to get the vehicle. Tim liked the fact that I brought my "wing man" because Tim had said, "Mohammad Ali was the greatest boxer of all time, and he still went to his ring side coach for advice" Time told me that my friend was my ring man and that's what he likes to see. People helping each other make the right decisions. Tim looked for the best possible APR and the best extended warranty. We thought (No offense Tim if you're reading this) he was just trying to sell a vehicle but we all opened up to each other which we didn't expect (Kinda personal stuff) so we found that truly admirable and trust worthy of him. I honestly will buy another vehicle from there obviously once I pay this one off, next car is a Cadillac CTS-V or STX-V. Yay yayee! read more

See all

Great selection of used cars - they really take care of what they consign to sell. Choice and quality both appeared great. Recently bought a car here and my experience was smooth. Transparent sales process and quick transaction on the day I finally signed on the dotted line was very helpful. The previous owner maintained my car well and credit to Phillips Auto for sourcing this vehicle. Ask for Niko - was great to deal with throughout the process and kept me updated on other offers and key information. I have had some questions and requests since purchase and he has been very helpful post sale as well. Also, the dealer will allow PPI and will take the car to your choice of PPI shop themselves (within 12 miles), which was a plus for me. Definitely recommend them if you are in Southern California or even across the country, if you find something you like. read more

I was shopping around for an specific used car going to dealer to dealer and not finding the right car at the right price. I finally found the right car at the best price and no need for negotiation here at Phillips. I've purchased a quite few cars in my lifetime and honestly I've never came across a salesman like Rich!!! He not only was very knowledgeable on his cars, but was so professional as well. He is very friendly, great charisma and made me feel so comfortable the whole time with my purchase. I will definitely come back in the future for my dream car. Thank you Rich!!!! read more

I write this 5 star review without hesitation as Chris and his team at Phillips Auto made the purchase of my new car a pleasant and flawless experience. Honesty and transparency top my list as well as kindness and care. Chris was absolutely awesome. read more

I sold my Raptor at Phillips Auto and it was an extremely easy process even in this climate. They looked over the truck, washed it, and took photos ... a month and a half later it was sold. I was a little worried since they seem to sell a lot of high end vehicles, but they sold the truck for the agreed upon value and mailed the check. I would definitely use them again! read more

Great customer service, easy transaction I recently sold my Lexus to Phillips Auto and had a great experience. Sujan made the entire process fast, easy and painless. He was organized and professional. I was in and out of there in less than 1 hour. I'm a working mom and wanted to get this done without aggravation. Sujan and Phillips Auto made that possible. Highly recommend. read more

Wonderful dealer with a wonderful staff, Thank you again Richard and the Philips auto team. read more

I've lived in Socal for 27 years and I always knew about Phillips Auto ever since I was a kid. Whenever I was on PCH I'd see the exotic cars inside Phillips and I knew I wanted to go see their exhibit (someday possibly owning some exotics). When it came time to sell my 2003 BMW M3, I thought of no other place but Phillips. If Phillips gives me the stamp of approval, that is the ultimate badge that I have an amazing collectable car. Nick Eves was the one who helped me consign my car and the moment he listed it, it sold in less than 10 days. I made more money than expected and am beyond satisfied with my experience. I will be consigning with Nick at Phillips Auto in the future when it comes time to sell my sports cars. Thanks Nick! read more

Bought a 2017 M2 and had a great experience. I would not hesitate to get my next car again from them. Thanks to Chris and Mark for taking good care of me and my new-to-me car. read more

I've had the pleasure of dealing with Malcolm Phillips on three occasions recently and I am a raving fan. Malcolm purchased one of my vehicles at a great price. Following that Malcolm evaluated a second vehicle, not once, but twice, for a possible purchase. Each time, Malcolm was prompt, responsive, professional. His experience, knowledge and passion comes through in each interaction. He is exceedingly fair, honest, and a no-nonsense, no-pressure businessman. I can tell that he absolutely loves helping people, so it comes as no surprise to me that his business is so successful. Malcolm, thank you again, and I hope we get to do business together again. read more

Contacted Phillips Auto on Sunday because there was a car I was interested in. Rich responded right away - he was very accommodating in setting up an appointment and we were able to see the car faster than I anticipated! Rich was very personable, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. I did not feel pressured or rushed and in the end his willingness to work with us sold us the car! On top of that, buying a car is a lengthy and grueling process but with Rich, everything was easy, simple, and quick! In and out in less than 2 hours. Best car buying experience I have ever had. I definitely would recommend Rich at Phillips Auto to anyone. read more

Amazing service that made us feel like family! My wife and I were looking to sell her vehicle and Phillips Auto could not have been more perfect with the process. Not only was it incredibly streamlined, but they also went above and beyond to return an item when we realized it was left in the car! Malcolm and Carre are truly incredible and we could not be happier with the level of dedication provided to us, I can only assume this is how they treat everyone that walks through the door! I would give more stars if I could! read more

This review is for Sujan and their purchasing department. Sujan was a pleasure to work with and extremely honest. I was looking to sell my car and he gave me straightforward and well reasoned explanations on the value of my car. He said he would beat the Carmax pricing and was true to his word. The buying process was quick and painless. Got my check in about 30 minutes and was on my way. read more

Finally found the car I've been looking for (make and model, power, color combo, low mileage, prestige condition for being a used car); but it was 600 miles down the coast from me. I called; but I was skeptical about the info I'd get over the phone (guess I'm old school and prefer to look someone in their eyes and shake their hand). Michael Aziz returned my call and offered me more info than I even thought to ask for! He sent videos of the vehicle, and even listings for similar models for sale in the area so I could compare pricing. My husband and I flew out on a one way ticket 2 days later to go pick it up. I already had it in my head that we'd be driving the car back home; so I started to get antsy when our plan for financing didn't go the way I thought it would. Michael didn't blink an eye at the original set back, he moved on and ended up finding us an even better option! The lot was full of beautiful cars, all shiny and bright like they got washed daily. The floor showroom was clean, offices tidy and the customer service was pleasant. I was on a time crunch and mentioned it ahead of time and Michael was respectful of that and had us on the road in my new car earlier than anticipated. The ONLY reason I'm not giving this dealership 5 stars is because my gas tank was near empty and I wasn't able to talk the price down at all. (That's part of the fun of car shopping!) over all, however, it was a great experience and my husband is looking forward to working with Michael next year, when it's HIS turn for a new ride! ;) read more

What a nice and knowledgeable bunch of people. Im one of those people that dread going to a dealership but my experience here was extremely pleasant. I traded in my car and the price I got was very fair. I also got a very good deal on one of their used cars. They were never pushy and very down to earth. I highly recommend this place. read more

Had an amazing experience selling my car! Carrie was amazing and so helpful! She wanted what was best for both the business and the customer. Felt welcomed and appreciated by her through the whole process. I HIGHLY recommend this company to sell your car! ESPECIALLY through Carrie. read more

My experience selling my leased Honda Accord through Chris Falcioni at Phillips Auto was OUTSTANDING!!! My mileage was over by 20,000 and I was at the end of my 3 year lease. Chris took care of ALL my concerns. He is super knowledgeable and made the whole process worry-free and actually a lot of fun. All the paperwork was done when I got there. This was the most simple process ever! I got a fantastic deal and Chris saved me a ton of money! I suggest anyone considering selling a car or turning in a lease to call Chris first. I guarantee you will be glad you did! read more

We purchased a car this weekend from Phillips and could not have been happier with the sales staff. Outstanding customer service. I look forward to future transactions. A special shoutout to my product specialist Ryan Kane and our finance manager Mark Argo. read more

I had such an awesome experience working with both Mike's and Rich. I had an older Volkswagen that was still in pretty good condition, and they bought the vehicle from me which is helping me pay for my new Tesla. Definitely will be going back to them whenever I need to sell another car! read more

I had the pleasure of working Mike Alibrando and could not be more happy with my purchase. He was excellent about communicating with me any and all hoops we had to jump through to make the purchase happen. Even took the initiative to send me a new owners manual. Would absolutely recommend this dealership to anyone in the market for a quality car and 5 star customers service. Will be back without a question! read more

I used KBB to get some offers to sell a used car. Carre from Phillips Auto contacted me, as did about 8 other places/people. What stood out about her was her sincere desire to work with me to see if we could arrive at an offer they could make, and I could accept. Carre kept every promise- how long things would take, what would need to happen before we could arrive at a price, etc. Selling a car and you don't want any of the expected hassles? Call Carre. You will be happy you did. read more
