Honest about my truck +s & -s.. Great deal very stoked on the truck.! And they bought my old car... which was very bad. they will send to scapper. read more

Wow! They got me good. I got 2 good cars here from the previous owners. The new owners will lie to your face, smile and laugh. I got sold a real POS .. Engine missing bolts.. engine seized and needs to be replaced after 4 months of owning it? Do not go here. All these cars suck. The owners have a dog that tries to attack you any chance it gets.. Just total Liars and scam artists and rip offs. 10x worse than ocean auto read more

We were looking for a used Honda Odyssey, and check several, before going to this dealership I read the reviews ratings, and decide better go, just like I have read, honest, no pressure and they'll work with you to make sure you're getting a good deal. Thanks Alan and the guy on financing( sorry can't remember his name), you sure treat us well. Looking forward to continuing doing business with you, definitely will recommend, and come back. The Odyssey is very clean outside and inside. read more

Bought a car a month back and went to get an oil change found out had a leak. You know not bad. Take it in to get it looked at turns out I have to get a new transmission and new coolant system cuz oils been leaking into it causing it to rust up. Highly don't recommend buying a car from here but if you do take it to get a full inspection. Also had a light out told them bout it n they never fixed it y aunt for taking the vehicle with a light out but having then tell me it already has been inspected and lying to me is unsat. Definitely won't be buying a vehicle from here again. I didn't call the dealership back because they told me during signing my contract that I could do a 3 day trail where if I don't like it I can give it back and get my money back. BUT I'd have to pay them to get it back in their lot which would cost a couple hundred. Also got told when I didn't accept that deal That any problems the car had they would no longer cover because I would be the owner. I'm saying it now don't buy a car from here unless you get it fully inspected. Also I did buy a car from here I just don't put my real name n last on here for privacy reasons. read more

I really wanted this to work out. Thought I found a great deal on a Tundra. Owners were friendly, nice and helpful. Went to get it checked out and it was a HUGE no go. Bent Frame and other monkey business to cover up issues. Honesty up front would be nice, along with being nice. Buyer beware, always get car checked by third party $100 to save $10,000. read more

I bought 2 cars would recommend allen and Dave wonderful people to deal with go here first willing to help through entire process. Highly highly recommended read more

This has been the easiest, best car buying experience ever. Not your typical over aggressive car salesman, (whom we just left north of town...beware.) David was very helpful, knowledgeable and super easy going. Go to San Clemente Auto Gallery, seriously... you'll be pleasantly surprised :) read more

Got a gorgeous super clean Designo package Mercedes S550 4matic California car from this dealership, super nice owners, beautiful car, and as a Mercedes Benz enthusiast, I appreciate that they were very honest and transparent. They even gave me receipts for maintenance they had done to the car. It is outstanding quality car. Very very happy about my purchase and I have them looking for another clean Mercedes for me. read more

San Clemente Auto Gallery - Beautiful used Mercedes Benz S550, nearly flawless! - Car Dealers Near Me - San Clemente, California

Was just driving by and some old guy was parking cars, sticking all the way out into the street almost causing an accident. When I honked by horn I was greeted with a very loud F**K YOU!! This old man is very angry and he should never be allowed to speak to people like this, especially after he almost caused and accident with ZERO care!! DO NOT GO HERE!!! read more

Great shop to find quality vehicles! Owners and staff are very friendly and knowledgable! They can find the right car you're looking for!

I bought my second car here, a Honda Pilot. They financed it with even better rate and their cars are clean. I'm very satisfied and I definitely recommend them. read more

What started out in a good conversation ended up with rude and inconsiderate customer service. Spoke with Alan and Dave about the 4x4 Tundra they had listed. Pictures of the vehicle were great and truck looked flawless. Discussed priced with Alan and came to an agreement. I drove almost 2 hours to check out the truck only to realize that the complete underside was rusted beyond repair. The frame was rusted to flakes. Obvious bad buy. Which was ok but what upset me more was Dave's attitude towards me after pointing out all these negative things about the truck. I was basically told to leave if I don't want to buy it. Super unsatisfied with the customer service. The owner was good to work with but I don't think I'll be referring anyone to this dealership ever. I would stay clear of this place unless you know what you're looking for and know what to look at. They seemed perfectly ok with selling a vehicle that I would deem unsafe due to severe rust. read more

We recently purchased a car for my wife, Dave and the owner Allen were very helpful, they even offered my kids ice cream and toys. They got the deal done when nobody else wanted to work with us, because of credit issues. Al in all great place to buy a car. read more

My name is Eddie and I purchased a 2003 Dodge ram from the finance manager "Medium Wave Dave" (Awesome Fella) and I gotta say, this guy is an all star! From start to finish he was very personable and walked me through everything. If you are looking for a great company to buy a used car fro m this is the one. Honesty and integrity buy the truck load. Thanks for all the help and I will recommend this company to all my friends and family. Cheers read more

Avoid this place, they will say anything to get you to drive to see a car. Poor customer service and vehicles have obvious cosmetic damage. No negotiable prices can happen. read more

DO NOT BUY A CAR FROM THIS DEALERSHIP......my nephew & his wife bought a used 2008 Jeep Liberty from this place back in August. They just found out today, from a local mechanic, that the engine is blown The water pump had been sealed with silicone!!! Unfortunately, they paid cash for the car and signed an "as is" agreement in the contract. They did however go back to the dealership to see if they would do anything and were told "do what you gotta do, buddy"!! I do not understand how people out there can do something like this too hard working people and not have any conscious, or regret, about it at all!! Aren't things bad enough in California without knowingly ripping people off like this? read more

Awful customer service & lemon cars!Wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy, if I could rate it negative stars I would. Ok so I was shopping around for a car, the car search didn't seem to end I finally found a car that I loved, the destination was far from where I live but with the good reviews I figured it would be worth it, boy was I wrong. There were a few people who returned from test driving their cars that day, I was not allowed to test drive alone, they sent their janitor/amateur mechanic with me, struck me as odd because everyone else had driven alone but I figured maybe it was because of my young age?. Anyways the car drive was smooth & I loved the car overall so I decided this was it & Bought a car with a few minor things like "keyless entry" not working, David assured me that would be fixed all I had to do was go back when the mechanic was going to be in (a weeks time) I was also told I could not take it to my mechanic to have it inspected or my one month warranty would void, but the car was in top notch condition so I "didn't need to worry" . On the drive home the "service tire monitor" light started blinking I figured with low profile tires that's expected, a week later more lights started coming on, I called David who assure me this was "normal behavior" for used cars and nothing was wrong but that they would check the codes for me when I went back. Drove all the way back to San Clem which is about 1 hour & a half from me, David no longer was "Mr. nice guy" he didn't greet me the way he did when I first met him, instead he brushed me off & introduced me to the mechanic who then took me to my car & asked what the problem was. I informed Allen (the mechanic) that my car had all these lights coming on (check engine, service hybrid, check trans) also told him about my locks, he proceeded to check my tires and took the car into the garage. I asked if he could connect the computer and he connected a small device & informed me there were no codes, iffy I sat back as he changed my brakes & tires (only lasted a month after, had to buy all new tires & replace brakes) he also "checked my oil" which he said was fine, not sure if he was aware of the indicator in the car that let me know the oil life was at 9% anyways he said my locks were "something I can, live with" & sent me on my way. All the dashboard lights were off for about 3 miles & came right back on. I called David who let me know I was "not a mechanic" & that the car was fine, so I decided to take my car to a mechanic who found 12 codes on my car(too bad for me it's at my own expense) Thinking the ordeal was over David calls me exactly a month later & lets me know my plates have arrived, I drive all the way back to San Clem, my tags expire in 3 MONTHS! This place is disgraceful to say the least, they sell lemons & are not very friendly after they've made their sale. David loved to boast about their good reviews which he could not live up to. Anyways this place is a nightmare & if I could redo my car search I would & I would not waste my money or time here. Nothing but headaches & money out of your pockets. PS: After washing the car a few times I noticed some sun damaged paint. No big deal just thought I'd mention it. Not everything that shines is gold. read more

Was told by the owner "$650 means nothing to me, (Indicating that is all he would make on the sale of this car, I highly doubt that is all he would have made) I don't have to sell you a car. "I was told this after wanting the key fob to work as advertised. Was told this by the owner after putting down a deposit on the vehicle and traveling over 400 miles without a way home, under the assurance that "Everything works on this car" without any problems. In addition there was a dent on the side of the car and the back bumper had made some kind of contact with something at some point. i.e the paint was cracked a bit. None of these things were on the ad. The salesman tried to make it right by offering to pay 1/2 of the cost for the key. It seems the owner does not respect his customers or value them. Would not recommend this place. read more

Just bought a used Honda CRV. The owner was really pleasant to work with and we got a great deal.

I had a very good experience with David and Alan purchasing a Jeep Compass. It's been over a month now, and the car is still great. Based on my initial research on other cars available, I know I received a fair price and the whole transaction was smooth. My friend Chris recommended San Clemente Auto Gallery to me after he had a good car-buying experience, and now I can also make the same recommendation based on my personal experience. read more

What a great dealership!! Dave was so professional and efficient! Friend got a great car at a price better than Kelly Blue book, with a clean CarFax report, then drove off the lot and got rear-ended two blocks away!! Rear window was blown out, so asked if DAVE could put the car in his garage until Tuesday (Memorial day weekend on a Saturday) morning and he said no problem!! Very gracious and professional!! Would highly recommend!! read more

My husband and I bought a 2012 VW Jetta Turbo Diesel with 130k miles on it about 2 weeks ago and its been an amazing car. We ended up purchasing from Dave who is the finance guy. He was EXTREMELY helpful and gave us all the information on the car upon arrival. He made it clear that he didn't just want a sale, it was all about making sure we picked the right car and were happy with it. Last year I bought a 2015 GMC Terrain from a dealership and honestly I wish I would have come here instead because it was such an easy process. My husband and I love our Jetta and are so thankful that Dave made it an easy process for us. I highly recommend looking here if you are considering purchasing a car. Good cars and very good prices! read more

OUTSTANDING customer service. The help i received from Finance Manager, David, and owner Alan, was of the utmost professionalism. The environment was easy going and comfortable. These guys really are helping out people get a vehicle while saving them a ton of money. I purchased a 2014 Nissan Altima last week for an awesome price and low mileage. The team there does not try to take advantage, lie, or throw you a curve ball. I would recommend their business to anyone looking for a vehicle. Talk to David and he will take care of the rest, he is the man! read more

Always wary about walking into a used car dealership. Any dealership for that matter. I found Allen and Dave to be very honest and mellow. No hard sell here. We have been looking for a vehicle for our teenage son and found one we liked. Got a great price and found a safe and reliable car for our son that's in great condition. We had it checked out by two places and they were both impressed with condition of vehicle. I definitely recommend checking out San Clemente Auto Gallery if your in the market for a used car. read more

We bought a VW Beetle at San Clemente Auto Gallery and the seller and owner both were very helpful, mounted new tires (the original ones were used too much to say the truth) and even offered that when there will be any issue, we will resolve it together. I can definitely recommend them for their approach. read more

wow! needed a car, frustrated with con man shops i had been to. The owner was amazing, gave us a great price, was super honest and we walked out with our vehicle. He even made us an appointment to get an oil change at his cost! What more could you need from a used car shop?! Hooray!! read more

I purchased a vehicle here a little less than a month ago. Seemed like an easy deal. Not a lot of back and forth over the sale. Got the car for the price that I thought was fair. When buying a used car you really have no idea what you're getting unless you're a mechanic. When talking with the salesman he assured me that they have mechanics on site and that they thoroughly inspect and fix the cars for sale. Within a day after purchase I notice that the rear passenger door lock does not work. This wouldn't normally be a problem but I have a car seat for my son that goes there. The part costs around $170+labor. I called the dealer and he said they would look at it. I live about 50 miles from the dealer one way so I haven't made it up there yet to see if they will actually fix it. A week ago I was driving driving home from work and the brakes started grinding, metal on metal. For someone who said they have mechanics on site that inspect their vehicles, they must have missed this one. I had to pay $330 for brakes and rotors the other day. I haven't even got the license plates yet and I could be $500 in the hole on this one. The brakes are something that every mechanic looks at. So either they knowingly sold me the vehicle with worn pads or they did a bad job on the inspection. I know it's a used car but I expected a little more. I hope there's not much more wrong with it since they didn't even have brake pads that lasted a month. read more

I went here after getting the run around used dealer woes from some other places in town. Expecting the same thing, i was pleasantly surprised when I met David. Not having great credit, he was honest about what he could do for me and up front about what he needed from me. He got me into a great vehicle with low mileage the same day, which was incredibly important as i had a trip the next day. Granted, that's the sort of service you should expect from a company, but unfortunately that's not usually the case when dealing with a run of the mill used car dealership. Here's where it went from good service, to exceptional. Two weeks later, I noticed a noise coming from under the hood. I took the car in to have them check it out for me. After investigating, they established that it was the tensioner pulley for the timing belt. The timing belt itself was still in good condition as was the water pump. The vehicle was still 15,000 miles away from the service time for the water pump and timing belt. The owner of the dealership asked me if I wanted to split the cost of the water pump which was $85, and he would pay the rest of the cost of the repair since the service date was coming up soon. That is epic above and beyond customer service. Especially considering when I looked up the cost of the repair and the lowest price I could find was $600. I will be referring all of my friends and anyone i know looking for a car to David at san clemente auto gallery. Thx David. read more

I needed a good quality car in a short amount of time. David was very helpful and I didn't feel any pressure from him to buy like I had at the other dealership I had been too. He had us in and out in about 30 mins. The easiest time I have ever had buying a car. I will definitely go back to him when it's time for another car. read more

Awesome service. Needed a good reliable car with no hassle and that is exactly what I got. Even went the extra mile on minor repairs and fixes when I purchased my car. Love my car and highly recommend San Clemente Auto Gallery for a good, affordable, clean car. read more

This place was awsome after having bad luck on searching for a car we ended up here. I had originally drove up from san diego to look at a different car down the street which was a bust. When i was heading home decided to stop here and i am glad i did. Ibought a car for a very fair price.They also had great customer service. I would recommend this place. read more
