    bought the car for from them for approx $34,000. Started leaking within the first two months after purchase (traveled abroad so it's safe to say as soon as I started driving it when I got back). I took it in the same shop and was asked to pay for that existing damage. I did because I needed the car for work and my family. As soon as I drove it back home from the shop, the suspension light came on stating I could not drive over 30 miles (I was on the free way). I called them and they kept saying they need time to get the right reader to diagnose it so they could not address the issue for weeks. Finally last week they said to bring it in on Tuesday, which I did today and they told me they would not fix it after I said I'm not paying again it was clearly all on them, preexisting damage, and faulty mechanic work. I was reasonable the first time but this continuing and my inability to even use the car since I practically purchased it was not fair. Their response was practically threatening to never address the issue and for me to leave. So I did. Please do not purchase from them or ANY of their other locations! I'm left without a car and paying their inhouse financing over $500 per month till that $34k clears. If anyone can help me with any information or suggestions please do!

    DO NOT BUY FROM THEM.

    DO NOT BUY FROM THEM. We bought a $9,000 car from Sergio at VIP Autos, paid cash and even arranged the transportation for an out of state shipment. From the start, I called and asked for a video walk around, which Sergio forgot to do, and when I called back I had to reintroduce myself and what I wanted. Classy. Then we wired the full amount which they received same day, yet sat on sending the title for a week. It was dropped off with a cracked windshield wiper fluid reservoir, which drained all over my drive way immediately. Pictured attached. When I also previously asked about the tires and brakes Sergio said that they meet the resale standards of 50% wear. When I got the car, I noticed the tires were pretty worn. I took it to the local Discount Tires to fill them up with a little air, and they said because the tires are 15 years (!) old, they cannot service them, but they were beyond where they needed to be to be replaced. Not sure how 15 year old tires can have 50+% wear on them, so nice try. Can't wait to see the true story on the brakes. My advice is to pass on this dealer and salesman. Highly disappointed.

    I can honestly say that I have never felt so comfortable and happy when buying a car. We were lucky enough to meet Ray and Mike and they made the process so wonderful for us. When we went to VIP Autos, Ray made sure that the car was exactly what we wanted and ensured that we were informed through the whole process. We worked with Mike and the financing that he got for us was better than anything we could find on our own. You could tell that to them, it wasn't just about selling us a car, they were vested in making sure that they were upfront and honest and that we were pleased through the entire process. Ray even went the extra mile and detailed the car for us!! So amazing. In my experience, this is a rarity in the industry and I am so grateful that we met them and bought the car that we love. I highly recommend them!!! We will never go anywhere else.

Their inventory immediately stood out--they specialize in enthusiast-spec BMWs that are thoughtfully selected and often configured exactly how a true BMW enthusiast would want them. What really sets this dealership apart is the owner. He's a genuine car enthusiast, incredibly knowledgeable, and passionate about helping customers find the right vehicle. He took the time to walk us through every detail and even took us on a test drive to explain the car's features, performance, and what makes each model unique. There was absolutely no pressure--just an honest conversation with someone who truly loves BMWs. We flew down from Seattle, and the experience exceeded our expectations. It's rare to find someone who is both knowledgeable and genuinely cares about the customer experience. If you're looking for a special BMW, this is the place to start. We'll definitely be keeping an eye on their inventory for our next BMW. Thank you for making this such an enjoyable experience!

The salesperson I worked with was polite and professional throughout the interaction, so this review is not about any one individual. It's about the overall dealership experience. The process felt unnecessarily performative and ultimately wasted a significant amount of my time. I first visited during my lunch break to look at an X7 that had reportedly already been sitting for sale for quite some time. The vehicle itself had visible cobwebs on portions of the exterior, yet the dealership framed the buying process as highly exclusive and "appointment only." I was told I would need to return another day just to test drive the vehicle. I came back two days later for my scheduled appointment expecting a straightforward drive and discussion afterward. Instead, before I was even allowed behind the wheel, the conversation immediately shifted into pricing and commitment. I was told they wanted to make sure the deal was "worth their time" before permitting a test drive. The advertised price also turned out to be materially different from the actual selling price. During my first visit, items like wheel powder coating, tint, and door edge guards were presented as part of how they prepare their cars. During the second visit, those same items appeared as added charges on top of the listed price, increasing the total by several thousand dollars. I was also told the pricing was completely non-negotiable under any circumstance. Luxury buyers today value transparency, efficiency, and professionalism. Requiring multiple in-person visits before even allowing a test drive -- while adding thousands beyond the advertised price -- created an experience that felt far more like a high-pressure used car lot than a modern premium dealership. Ironically, I now have a different X7 sitting in my garage after an incredibly smooth and straightforward buying experience elsewhere, while the X7 at San Diego Beemers still appears to be sitting in the exact same spot on the lot -- cobwebs and all. I'm leaving this review simply so other buyers know what to expect before investing their time.

    Now looking for a car should never be a painful experience. Nor should it ever be something you…read moreshould have to do very often because it is always a painful experience. The "Giant Used Car Tent Sale!" (I know you can hear it in your head... that voice that plays over and over on the radio). It's a place where half a dozen used car dealers bring their stock they want to get rid of and just have "large discounts" on them. The reason "large discounts" is in quotes is because all the stickers say "Normally" and "Tent Sale" prices. I went for 6 hours today... yeah... 6 freaking hours. It wasn't BAD just not fruitful. I got to check out a lot of cars and a few dealers, I'll just say I wouldn't buy from them. EVER. If you're looking for a car and you're okay trusting those used car salesmen. Come here. The prices are pretty competitive. Otherwise, It could just be a cool place to test drive a car.

    We went on a Sunday, the last day of the monthly sale. We were warned by someone that they charge…read morethe sellers $1000/car which they pass on to the buyers. Also because they advertise financing that is probably how they are making their money. I would give the last person (Paul from san diego auto connnection) around a 3 to 4, but the first person from El Cajon Superstore about a negative 5. The other group there maybe a 2 to 3. NOTE we wanted to pay cash as had recently had an accident and been paid for our car. Also we were "guided" by a person directly to the back right into the "claws" of a salesperson from El Cajon Superstore. It was me, my husband and our daughter. What we realized later is that there were actually 3 different dealers there, but it took a while to figure this out as the person tried to keep us looking at his stuff. I am sure this "helpful" woman gets a kickback from this dealer, in fact I wouldnt be surprised if there isnt some other arrangement as they are directly back. I swear this person would have sold his mother an overpriced car and lied to her. He told us that they put "thousands" of dollars into each car including new tires. NONE of the tires were new. The second place (to the right when you walk in) was a bit better but also they were determined to put me in a car I didnt want. At least they had a better sales pitch. The last person was Paul from San Diego Auto Connection, He was the only one to me who seemed human and interested in what I was saying. He also gave me his card and told me to go online and check out the cars there (note ALL the cars at the sale were online and there were no better deals online but at least HE was honest). Its a good place to get comps to check against cars on craigslist and other dealers. TAKE YOUR SMART PHONE and use Kelly Blue Book while there to make sure you know what comps really are. I have been to a lot of the same "category" of used car lots and this places prices are at least 20% to 30% higher. You MAY get a good deal. I suggest doing your homework and not getting "switched" into a car you havent researched. AND research in front of them. and GOOD LUCK.

Bought it on a Thursday night and was delivered via flatbed on Friday afternoon exactly on time. No haggling. No sales pressure. No spending hours sitting in a dealership waiting for paperwork. Just a simple, straightforward experience from beginning to end. What really set Carvana apart, though, was the customer service. There was a minor issue after delivery, and local manager Mike Fryer handled it absolutely flawlessly. Mike was responsive, professional, and genuinely cared about making things right. What could have been an annoyance turned into another reason I'm such a huge fan of Carvana. His commitment to customer satisfaction was outstanding and deserves special recognition. In a world where buying a car is often something people dread, Carvana has completely reinvented the experience. Great pricing, incredible convenience, and customer service that actually exceeds expectations. I am beyond thrilled with my Jeep Wrangler and even more impressed with Carvana. They've earned a customer for life. I can say with complete confidence: I will never buy another car from a traditional dealership again.
