I went to Carmax on a Monday after work, without an appointment, and they were able to see me right away. Since the quote started online, it was an easy process to get registered by scanning a barcode and answering a few questions at the window. Once they test drove the car, the quote was the same. I was then given a list of instructions for my Tesla to reset it to its original factory settings. Please note that you have to do all the steps, even the step for the associate. Once that was done, I was brought over to talk to one of reps who presented the paperwork to sign. It was minimal and the explanation was clear. My balance due at the bank will be handled by Carmax and I was given the remainder of the profit via check. The process was pretty seamless! I'd definitely come back again if I have to sell my car.

The "Express" Pickup is a Total Sham - They Chose a Bot Over a Serious Buyer…read more I've never experienced a more tone-deaf sales process. I am a 100% committed buyer with approved financing. I even went as far as sharing my private insurance settlement documents ($11,500+) with my associate, Maria, just to prove I wasn't wasting anyone's time while waiting for the check to clear. Despite this, CarMax Kearny Mesa has been a logistical nightmare. I live in Carlsbad, and after making multiple trips down there (a 45-80 minute haul each way), their 'solution' to a minor insurance delay was to send me an automated Salesforce threat stating they would release the car if I didn't show up for a third time on Monday. Maria is 'off' on Monday, and management is apparently content letting a bot handle their business. They are willing to blow up a guaranteed, funded deal over a 48-hour administrative window. If you want to be treated like a person--especially if you've done the work to prove you're a serious buyer--go literally anywhere else. This isn't 'Express' service; it's a 'computer-says-no' bureaucracy that doesn't care about your time, your commute, or your business.

The receptionist told me an advisor would call me back. No one called that day or the next. I followed up two days later and was told my case had been assigned to Brian. I specifically asked about the possibility of waiving the diagnostic fee for an obvious stolen converter and requested a callback so I could confirm before driving in. She confirmed from Brian that it was a possibility. The receptionist assured me Brian would call that day. He never did. I waited through the weekend and called again on Monday (the day of my scheduled appointment). Crystal was helpful and transferred me to the service manager, Wendy because Brian was again not available. I explained the full situation, including the multiple broken callback promises. Wendy immediately said there was no possibility of waiving the diagnostic fee, directly contradicting what I had been told earlier. She also did not apologize the multiple non call backs. Wendy needs some actual training on how to fix issues that occur in her service department. This felt like a clear bait-and-switch. I was given the impression that the diagnostic fee might be waived in order to get me to make an appointment, only to be told the opposite once I had already waited days and followed up multiple times. The lack of communication was also very poor. I will be going elsewhere for service. Potential customers should be aware of this experience before trusting this dealership with their vehicle.

Dear friends: I just…read morewant to recommend a business to you in San Diego and tell you why. The name of the business is Cyrus auto sales in Kearny Mesa. I first met the owner Dan about six years ago. When I was looking for a Prius. I realized he was a wonderful human being, but he didn't have the car in his lot that I was looking for and subsequently bought elsewhere. My daughter Casey also bought a Prius elsewhere but a few months into her purchase had a problem with the battery , I remembered Dan and took the car to him $600 later Casey had essentially a brand new lithium battery installed in her Prius. Those are the ones that you've heard can cost to $3000. He did it for $600 (replacing only bad cells)and the car ran beautifully. A couple of days ago my Prius started making the most God awful noise and shuttered to beat the band. I had an appointment in El Centro and asked a mechanic down there to look at it and he said it's in the engine. We're gonna have to get a new engine for you if you want to do that it'll be about $1500, 2500 to 3000 installed. I started looking for a new car and then I remembered Dan. I took the car in to Dan told him my tail of whoa. The car has now been driven 150 miles with this banging. Dan said I'll have my mechanic look at it and see what we can do. He said I would not put a new engine in it. It's too expensive not really cost-effective if I can fix it I will. If not, I will tell you . Today ( I took it in yesterday ) I'm picking up my car today for a total price of $300. My issue resolved. This is an honest man with a small business and if you're in need of a car or service, give Dan a call. You'll be doing yourself and Dan a service. 858-277-1028.

This review is 8 months over due…read more WARNING: if you ever want to get a used car through Cyrus Autosales, it pays to go to Toyota San Diego and speak to the manager there. Though you've to fork money out to have them do a safety/pre-buyers inspection on the car. If I had done that, I wouldn't have bought this car from this dealership at all. Dan passed off the visual inspection sheet from Toyota as a safety inspection sheet. That in itself is FRAUD and something that I actually consulted an auto fraud lawyer about. For starters , when I got my car and took it to AAA less than 12 hours after picking up and paying $10,200 for the car, it was leaking coolant and 2 error codes- one for the 12 volt and the other for the engine came up. Dan CLAIMED that the AAA auto repair shop I went to didn't know what they were doing. The window gears were also noisy and parts of the cars rubber were melted due to heat damage. The dash screen was also very brown due to heat damage. A Toyota estimate to fix that screen was between $1500-4000. Dan replaced the melted hatch back handle and fixed the leaking coolant but didn't address the noisy gears or the error codes. To compound issues, within 3 weeks of buying the car, my combination meter started malfunctioning. This happens when the combination meter blacks out (the part that shows speeds and hazard lights) and you are not able to turn your car on and off. Over the next 3 weeks it got so bad to the point that I could not drive the car to classes as it would not turn off. Dan OFFERED TO FOOT PART OF A BACK ALLEY FIX WITH A Junkyard Prius' COMBINATION METER. I refused as that would alter the odometer and have no guarantees of an actual fix. As such I ended up having to tow my car to Toyota San Diego for service. Turns out the same error codes pulled up by AAA were pulled up by Toyota. My coolant valve was not properly supplying my engine with coolant and that's why my engine light kept coming up and one of the two error codes was for that. At that point I couldn't drive my car anymore as it would not even turn on. The other error code was because my 12 Volt was fried and needed to be replaced. In the process of Toyota replacing my combination meter, most of the frames holding my aircon vents crumbled and they had to replace all the vents. To sum it up, within 6 weeks of purchasing my car, I had to spend almost $1800 just to make this car safe to drive. I also found out that I overpaid for the car as when I tried to sell the car to Carmax even after fixing all the problems, they only offered me a paltry $5k for everything. I was told by the manager that they wouldn't sell my car for more than $8k (vs the $10,200 I paid). As such, I have decided to retain this car even with more potential problems due to the car's poor maintenance prior to me buying it. He also sold me a regular Prius control instead of a smart key which is what my car uses. If he were truly that "Prius expert" he calls himself, surely he would not have sold me the wrong key. I did return that key to him. Please be careful if you'd like to buy a used Prius from him. Don't let these nice reviews fool you. Speak to Toyota San Diego about the car you are considering from him.
