    Deep scratch on rear bumper, driver side.

    Untrustworthy Dealership -- Be Cautious and Read Between the Lines I was close to purchasing a car from Veloce Auto Center & Leasing, but thankfully I decided to get a pre-purchase inspection, which cost me $210. That inspection uncovered over $7,000 in repairs the dealership failed to mention--including a leaking oil pan (so bad they had to add oil), leaking rack and pinion, leaking front differential, and a misaligned rear bumper with visible damage. These are not minor issues, yet the sales rep repeatedly told me the car was "flawless" and "inspected by their mechanics." That was clearly false. On top of that, they used high-pressure tactics, saying another buyer was "very interested" and the car could be sold at any moment. They pushed for a non-refundable deposit via Zelle, which is highly unusual and risky. Most professional dealerships accept credit/debit cards and offer refundable holds. They claimed the deposit couldn't be refunded because they'd "have to turn away the other buyer," but given that the car had been sitting on their lot since January 2025, I doubt that buyer existed. It felt like a tactic to rush me into a bad deal. Also, take a closer look at the 5-star reviews on Google. Many of them sound copy-pasted or AI-generated--short blurbs like "James was great!" or "Kayla made everything easy!" with no actual details. No mention of what was purchased, how the financing went, or what the process was like. That's a red flag and doesn't reflect my experience at all. Bottom line: this dealership misrepresented the condition of the car, pressured me with shady tactics, and tried to lock me in with a non-refundable Zelle payment. I walked away and I'm glad I did. Get your own inspection. Don't trust their word. Be careful.

    Completely repainted front bumper, or as they classify it, 'reconditioned'.

    Let me first start with the good: This dealership is excellent when it comes to the logistics in purchasing a vehicle from out of state; that part of the process was seamless. Now, for the bad: As mentioned earlier, I was purchasing this Porsche from out of state, and being fully aware I was buying a used vehicle, went back and forth with Viola requesting complete transparency before finalizing the purchase, to avoid any potential surprises. I repeatedly asked for images of any blemishes or imperfections, to which she informed me there were none other than a minor paint chip, which she sent me a picture of; she confirmed this vehicle was in pristine condition and that it had not been in any accidents. All corresponding videos and photos she sent confirmed it was in fact in pristine condition, so I proceeded with the purchase. When I received this vehicle, I was stoked. But the more times I washed it over the course of the first couple of weeks (it'd been raining A LOT), the more major scratches were visible, including one on the hatch that was over two feet long. I then took it to a professional to find out what was going on; the professional took it a step further and using a paint meter informed me the entire front bumper had been repainted. Not only that, but the overspray from repainting the front bumper in the cheapest way possible was all over the hood of the vehicle. At this point, I was furious and confused as to how the vehicle could look so vastly different from the videos they sent; the professional explained that sometimes used car dealerships apply their version of 'makeup' to get the car sold, but that like with all 'makeup', it eventually washes off. I reached out to the dealership in hopes they would rectify this situation by paying to have the scratch removed from the hatch, and front bumper repainted by a Porsche professional; when they weren't ignoring my calls or texts, the explanation I was finally given is that repainting an entire front bumper along with all of the other 'modifications' to make the sale was considered by them to be 'reconditioning' the vehicle. The best part is that they didn't deny any of these misrepresentations, which tells you that they are completely comfortable being dishonest if it means them selling a car. I'm solely writing this review in hopes that others think twice about being taken advantage of like they took advantage of me. EDIT: No 'high-pressure water guns' have been used to damage the 'reconditioning' that was never disclosed, nor did a 'car wash guy' repaint the front bumper. When someone repeatedly tells you the vehicle has 'no damage' other than a paint chip and offers pictures and video to corroborate it, you would have no reason to believe a car dealership would intentionally deceive you or misrepresent a vehicle with a temporary washable 'fix' just to make a sale.

    I came across many car dealerships online, but in the end, I chose Veloce Auto. The owner arranged for me to work with the best salesperson, Wesley. No matter what time of night I messaged, there was always a reply, which really touched me. Wesley even personally came to pick me up for test drives, and he provided great assistance when I was studying for my driver's license, teaching me how to quickly memorize traffic rules. For me, choosing a car is important, but the experience is equally crucial. They made me feel like a friend rather than just a customer. I looked all over Irvine, San Gabriel, but in the end, I chose the Mustang from Veloce Auto. The price was really affordable, and I initially thought I wouldn't find a good car in this price range, but this one from Veloce Auto is truly fantastic! I will recommend all my friends to come here!

    As a freshman who just arrived at UCI last year, I got to know Rachel, the owner of Veloce Auto, through a classmate's introduction. We've played games together, including csgo and pubg, and despite her being a girl, she's really skilled at gaming! Haha. When it comes to buying a car, I've looked at many ads and compared numerous dealerships, but ultimately, Veloce Auto offered me the best choice. Initially, I was torn between a BMW and a Porsche. However, with Rachel's recommendation and analysis, I ended up choosing the Porsche 911!!! I've also become a huge fan of Porsche! Since I'm in Los Angeles, I definitely want to experience the sunshine, beaches, and driving a convertible. Rachel even thoughtfully gave me a bottle of sunscreen... She's truly attentive to details!

    Thank you to Veloce Auto and Xiaohan for helping me find the car I wanted. I searched many places but couldn't find the S580 at the right price. Initially, I was torn between the S580 and GLE, but Xiaohan gave me the best advice in the end!I don't live in California, so I entrusted all car inspection matters to Xiaohan, and it's worth trusting! They can also transport cars nationwide. Highly recommend this dealership!

Called again to let me know part wouldn't be in until the next morning so I would get it back Saturday. I asked if it would be ready by 11:00 because I had to be somewhere at 1:00, If not I would pick it up by closing. He said he'd try his best to get it done by 11:00. He called at 11:00 and said it was ready! I loved that he kept in touch throughout (I've never had that experience) Great experience with everyone there!

There were no hidden surprises, no pressure, and no pushy sales tactics--just honest, patient, exceptional service.

Due to the way the situation was handled, the claim was ultimately retracted and closed, leaving us without a repaired vehicle despite having received prior approval. The communication, follow-through, and overall level of service from Adrian were severely lacking. What should have been a straightforward insurance repair became an unnecessarily frustrating ordeal. We expected professionalism, accountability, and assistance from Timmons Subaru, but instead, we were left with an unresolved repair and a closed claim. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend working with Adrian Zavala. Just avoid, go somewhere else.
