Once of the best choices I have ever made was going here. I have taken some time to write this…read morebecause I did not want to write a review that was without merit or value. In other words I truly wanted this review to be full of truth of experience and worth. Couple of things I was worried about. Buying a Car off Holt. Lets be honest there are not a lot of things that I have known that are good to buy off Holt other than street tacos. Not exactly the place I would think I would have an amazing customer service experience with great people and great product. Steve, and the Team here is what I would call Magnificent. I was not exactly what you would call an easy sale. I was also a bit strangely organized financially because of my type of business so I proved to be a bit of a challenge for them. Calm and collected they were never worried. Only me. I left this place driving an excellent car with great milage and what I would call no buyer remorse. Mostly because of the experience which I thought would or could get salted over time but it has not. There were a few issues with my purchase that involved the navigation and control module. Steve assured me he would help me take care of it and another minor issue was that the lights are so fogged up they hardly look they are on. Once I get to a place where I can drop this car off I will have it handled but either way I can say this. There is reason why this organization is 5 Stars. They do everything right. They have the cars you are looking for and more importantly the attitude needed to make a good experience. In sales its about the CAN DO attitude. I was frustrated and felt a bit hopeless and they made me feel like I mattered. Steve Knows Sales and the Finance Guy not only knew finances but also computers. It feels good to be treated with respect. This is going to be the place my entire family and friends get their cars from. Here are the reasons. GREAT PEOPLE GREAT PRICES STAND MY THEIR SALES AFTER SALES AND AFTER SALES CARE WORK WITH YOU TO MAKE WHATEVER THEY CAN HAPPEN THEY GO THE EXTRA MILE. THEY WORK WITH BAD CREDIT / ISSUES WITH CREDIT THEY WILL DO WHAT IS IN THEIR POWER TO MAKE THINGS WORK I won't share what Steve did for me as I closed the sale with him and took my new used car home but it was very kind and I think he does it for alot of people. A Little bit counts and goes a long way. I am thankful and grateful for LA COSTA Sales and look forward to more reviews and my family buys their next cars here. There is NOTHING and I do mean nothing that could have done better. Excellent work guys. Sorry for the delay but I really wanted this review to be full of truth, reflection and longevity. CONS: Holt Ave is not somewhere you want to be late at night. CONS: A Little Stuffy in the Sales Room CONS: Issues with Car / PRO - Not an issue for a team of people who want your experience to be a good one. They know what to do, how to do it and where to go if anything does come up. Used Cars are not exactly iron clad anything can happen but they seem to have most of the things you need covered or can handle any minor issues you need to take care of or the direction to point you to. 30 Years + Years of Business and Integrity and Experience makes this place a no brainer to shop for your next used car. If you are going to buy a used car and have no choice the good part is the choice of where to buy it has already been made up. Reviews like this for a car dealership like this is unheard of. Truly A Diamond in the Rough. BUY YOUR CAR here!

I have very early childhood memories of La Costa Auto Sales. My parents might have been coming…read morehere, even before I came along into this world. The 2 Lacosta brothers running this business are the most honest and trustworthy salesmen you can find in the area. They specialize in affordable used cars! Come here to buy, sell or trade! My family has been coming here since our struggling origins. When I say struggles, I mean, we were a ONE CAR household. My dad would drop my mom off at work in the mornings and either he or my aunt would pick my mom up from work. We had a humble living and even with one car, we couldn't afford anything too new. The La Costa brothers were there to provide their automotive knowledge and extremely reliable recommendations. The cars we purchased from them throughout the years had no headaches. When it was time to afford to budget a second car into our household, it was legendary. We felt extremely blessed and fulfilled to have what others would imagine to be basic necessities. La Costa Auto Sales was a major factor in making that transition possible for their reasonable rates and reliability. I will always always feel grateful that they were able to be there for us during tough times. Pass forward to the present, we are blessed to afford to buy newer cars from the Honda dealership, but that leaves us with an "old" car on hand. Honda offered quite an insulting value, and my dad immediately said No thank you! We knew selling it to La Costa Auto Sales would be an honest amount, whatever the offer would be. We saw Steve, and he did a thorough inspection and pulled up the car's official reports, and gave us his professional opinion. We knew it wouldn't be much, but we definitely trusted and appreciated any "value". That car has been good to our family for two decades, and it was really hard to let go. We trust that it will be good to its' new owner, and still keep the car in our prayers. As a family who has bought, traded and sold cars with La Costa Auto Sales for nearly three decades, I can in all honestly give them the ultimate seal of approval. When we have relatives or friends who are just starting out, need a used car for a beginning driver, or looking for a reliable used car, we would always direct them here and trust that a positive transaction would take place for both parties.

I had a really good experience and peace of mind working with Gio, which seems to be harder to find…read moretrust in buying a used car these days. After driving an hour and 20 minutes from Oceanside, I was a little nervous on what we are going to get that I have experienced with cheesy used car dealers in the past who are high-pressure pitch, or try to be charged for these silly "mandatory" dealer add-ons (such as Lo Jack GPS tracking and /or protection film). Or the dreaded "oh so sorry, we just sold that one, but we have this ugly more expensive car over here!"...but nothing like that here. Gio was very knowledgeable and I liked his consultative sales style was also professional. He explained that they mainly buy cars "Green Light" from auctions: the auctioneer guarantees the purchaser (Hanna Autotomize in this case) that the car is mechanically sound regarding the engine, transmission, and drive train. The auctioneer that sell these Green Light cars offers arbitration to the dealer too (returning the car or getting repair costs) if hidden, major defects are found within a 7-14 days. Gio's dealer do charge a few hundred dollars (up to $995 I think?) depending on the car price) that covered the cost to replace anything after their own internal mechanic reviews the car, so that there are no surprises later that would have to be relaced by me anyways. They provided a CarFax for free and an option for a paid extended warranty for peace of mind too. I am really lucky to find this boutique family owned dealer and I highly recommend Hanna.

So thankful to have a mechanic that knows about cars and was quick in responding and mobile and willing to come to the dealership. Will definitely going to them again if I decide to buy a used car in the future. Price is definitely worth it considering it saved me from making a bad investment

Incredibly thorough inspection. I looked at and test the drove the car myself for 30-60 minutes…read morebefore the inspection. The inspection caught a lot of potentially serious issues that I did not see or even think of looking for. Excellent inspection service. I would absolutely use Pro Car Checker again in the future.

Took my vehicle to Auto Technik Carcare for a diagnosis, and these guys are the real deal. I worked…read morewith Sham, the service manager, and he was awesome--professional, patient, and clearly knows his stuff. He broke everything down in a way that felt honest and easy to understand. They told me upfront they work by appointment only, are usually booked a week or more out, and have been in the same spot for 26 years. That alone tells you they're doing something right. Bottom line: great communication, zero pressure, and solid work. I left feeling confident I chose the right shop. I'm a very happy customer and would absolutely recommend Auto Technik Carcare to anyone looking for a trustworthy place. I'm 100% not paid to write this review and definitely not some type of bot--just impressed. Check them out!

I brought my Chevy Equinox in because of rough idle. Jay diagnosed the issue and said it's an easy…read morefix bro! Told me all I needed was an engine treatment, also said I could do it my self if I get the treatment at Oreillys for cheaper. He could have easily overcharged me for an oil change but was honest and saved me some money. What mechanic does that now a days? His honesty has earned a customer for any car troubles I may have in the future.

Last night, I spoke with Ethan K. from Internet Sales to get a quote on a 2026 Civic. He provided…read moreall the information I needed. This afternoon, I drove off with my new vehicle. I have purchased multiple vehicles before, and this has by far been one of the best experiences ever! Ethan, his manager, and the financing agent were all professional, and the best part was that there were no hidden fees or attempts to add extra items to the contract. We've had experiences with other dealerships trying to add charges at the time of signing, so this was truly refreshing. We will definitely come back to Ethan and Penske when it comes time to purchase another vehicle! We were in and out within 2 hours, speedy process. Thank you for the making our experience amazing!

I came and viewed a 2019 CR-V this morning and left because I was unhappy with the price. Thank you…read moreSammy for being a wonderful sales rep. You were really helpful! This evening, Amit Chopra, a sales manager, gave me a call to give me a better offer and even offered to pay for half the cost of a second programmed key fob. I called him back to confirm the total price of the car, and yes I asked him to confirm the price a couple of times because I'm driving all the way over from Brea, I also just wanted to make sure that there was no hidden fees. I called him once again to confirm the price, but this time, he raised his voice and YELLED AT ME over the phone and screamed "YES VICTORIA I already told you three times, now I'm NOT going to help cover the cost of a second key fob and take that offer away." First of all, Mr. Amit, I have Autism Spectrum Disorder. My brain cannot stop asking and confirming for a price because it's just how my brain works. You are in customer service so please learn to understand your customers and have patience, I would hate for this to happen to someone with a more severe case of autism. This is NOT how you speak to any customer, regardless if they are neurodivergent or not. I was literally on my way to the dealership and I just wanted to confirm with you the price and everything included before I spend my time AND gas driving alllllll the way back to Ontario. To the owners and/or board of directors at Penske Honda Ontario, please take your time to review Mr. Amit's conduct. I will be submitting a report to American Honda's consumer affairs department regarding this situation. If anyone needs to reach me directly for details, Mr. Amit has my phone number. Thank you.

bought a car today from them. the email quoted price seemed too good to be true and I was ready to…read morego to next dealer. But when I showed up, the sale consultant (Sam) showed me the price and the car as promised I was happy. All disclosed details were included in the email. Sam was calm, polite and professional, not a typical sale guy. Eddy, the finance manager was nice and direct, explained everything and no pressure on extra purchases. This is the best car buying experience I have ever had and I've bought bunch of cars.

Not impressed with the service department. Multiple directions to pull into service line. One…read moredirection where drivers got instance attention but the other direction got much less attention. We pulled in, watch a car come in from the other direction and got attention in a minute and a service member drove off with their car. In our lane, the car in front of us had not even gotten attention yet, nevermind us, one car behind them My second issue is when making an appointment for an oil change we we quoted 1 hour. Then getting here minutes before our appointment time, we were quoted at least 2 hours. Also, when we originally bought the car here new, we we told we'd get an additional free oil change because it took them 4 hours to get the car here when they said it was just down the street. That was a lie, the car was in the desert 2 hours away. That 4 hours was our salesman driving 2 hours out and two hours back. Even after we kept asking what it taking so long, the head salesman told us the car will be here soon. We'd ask when over and over again when will it be here, and we kept being lied to. I have zero trust in this dealership and I would would shop elsewhere and service elsewhere. You have many choices, be smart and go elsewhere.
