Milpas Motors sold me a 2008 Aston Martin Vantage...convertible, manual. A very special car…read more Jim--the salesman--was both charming and made my first encounter with the car both welcoming and exciting. This is my first exotic--and he never once made me feel out of my league. (Although he is a savvy negotiator!) Steve finalized the deal and remained transparent throughout. As it happened, I test drove the car two weeks prior to coming back to purchase it--and, to my surprise, when I drove it off the lot, two blocks later...a conspicuously loud squeak I had not heard earlier was apparent. (It was the serpentine belt.) During the fulfillment of financing, a minor discrepancy in the material filed by Milpas (they cited the sales price a few dollars _less_ than what we had agreed), caused my bank to take pause--and afforded an additional convo with the dealership about the squeak. Steve graciously offered to replace the serpentine at his expense... Suggested I bring the car on back for the repair. Even though I was unable to do this due to international travel, Milpas honored that agreement a month later. And--while having the work done--the dealership was even kind enough to offer a pick up from their local mechanic. Moreover, since bringing the car home, the provenance of the car--everything Jim told me about the vehicle to help clinch the deal--has been verified by third parties...i.e., by an entirely different dealership's service manager familiar with the car and its former owner. The car is the most expensive vehicle I have ever purchased...but it was not a purchase made impulsively. I don't regret it an iota. I must say: I have never loved a vehicle more...it's an absolute pleasure in every way. But importantly: while--with any used car purchase--buyer beware...I'm _extremely_ grateful the guys at Milpas operate with such integrity. This is not a used car dealership like so many others. Gorgeous inventory. Superior service. Real gentlemen. Highest recommendation.

I had shopped around at a few dealers locally, but was having trouble finding exactly what I wanted at a good and fair price. I spoke with Dennis, the owner, and we went over what I was looking for, including price range. Within a few days he was able to present me with some options that matched exactly what I wanted. He was very meticulous and made sure that every option he presented me with was in great condition, with no problems. It can be a little scary to make a big purchase without seeing , or testing it out first, but Dennis made the buying experience an excellent one. After narrowing down my options, I finally selected my new car, and a week later it arrived. He had it detailed and filled up the tank, which was a nice surprise. I was extremely pleased with the entire experience. Dennis was honest, efficient, and never made me feel pressured. He was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, and was always willing to answer any and all questions. 4 months later I am still happy and love my new car. I will definitely recommend Santa Barbara Auto Solutions to all my friends and family.

We had a great start to end experience with the entire staff thought the process of purchasing a brand new vehicle and trading in a used vehicle. Initially, we started communicating with Tina who is the online sales manager and had conversations with the Andy, the dealership manager. We set up an appointment to come in and test drive a vehicle. The test drive went well and then we got to the sales and numbers conversation which went smoothly. Obviously, you do some back and forth, but if you do your research and due diligence, your back and forth becomes a shorter process. Then we worked with the finance manager and closed out all the paperwork. Everyone who we interacted with was friendly, professional, well informed, prepared and basically we worked toward a goal: for us walk away with a vehicle at a fair price, for them make the sale. Great experience and we will go back for future Ford/Mazda purchases.

DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING HERE. I SWEAR YOU WILL REGRET IT FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE…read more I purchased a new car from here and it's been 2 months and I STILL HAVE NOT received anything from the bank in regards to where I make a payment for my car. I call and call and I never get call backs. As it turns out my paperwork was never filed to their lender. And they got some reason didn't "catch it" until I brought it to their attention that something is not right. Well stupid us we decided to buy a truck from there as well. Keep in mind in one month we spent a little over 100k with 2 cars there. Everything for the truck is done in a reasonable amount of time I get my plates and registration. A month later I get a bill from their corporate office saying I owe them like $500 bucks. Wtf. Also trying to get parts from service is terrible. So incompetent, lazy and rude.

This review is mostly for Santiago, who is a great sales rep, but also the dealership, everyone…read morethere was very transparent about the purchase. I was in the market for a used Jeep, and the one I found at this dealership (it was a lease return) was a 2022 Jeep Sahara 4xe, which is a plug-in hybrid with a 4-cylinder turbo engine and 8 speed automatic transmission. This isn't your father's Jeep to say the least, and I was skeptical, but it was the trim/color I wanted and loaded with features. I spoke with Santiago about it on it on the phone, he answered some questions about the hybrid set-up, and scheduled a time for me to come look at it. Mind you this is in Santa Barbara, and I live in LA; from my house this is a 1.5 hour drive with no traffic. Santiago inspired some confidence, otherwise trust me I wouldn't have spent 3+ hours on it. No rush at the dealership, I walked around it and inspected it for a bit while asking Santiago some questions. Some minor scratches but other than that it looked brand new. I even checked the engine bay, and Santiago showed me some not-so-obvious things e.g. the rear panels come out. Test drive was basically "where do you want to go", so I drove it around town for a while, and then on the freeway for a few exits. I did a lot of testing at different speeds and acceleration to see how the hybrid drivetrain worked, gas engine on/off etc. Worked flawlessly with 34k miles on it. It was worth the price, so I bought it on the spot. Financing was easy, and they offered a 3 year bumper-to-bumper warranty for a monthly fee, so I took it. I will cancel that after a while, I did it just in case there was something wrong with it that the dealership didn't catch (e.g. something with 4 wheel drive behavior). Came with 4 brand new tires, and a brand new spare! P.S. I was curious what the negative reviews were about, and every single one of the ones I looked at were for service, and most of those for Dodge vehicles. I can't comment on the service of course not having used it, however you should look around at whatever dealerships are a reasonable distance from you, and use the one that is best reviewed. You can use any dealership with the original warranty.

Whoever is in charge of this outfit needs to be fired ASAP. I'm done. I've spent so much money here, I've sold them a jeep, I get all my service done here, and I'm just done. They just don't care about people and it shows. They don't care about the vehicles or the service, and it shows. This outfit is shameful, never walking in those doors again. You shouldn't either.
