Total nightmare to deal with this dealership. Terrible communication and terrible customer service. I won't bore you with details, but it was like I had to beg for information on cars.

This dealer , I bought a few cars in the past big dealer small dealers never had a bad one like this one . Looked at a car with my sister got pre qualifed offers prior to our arrival they lied abou dealer small dealers never had a bad one like this one . Looked at a car with my sister got pre qualifed offers prior to our arrival they lied about our approval ,rates they were fixeaded on using there bank (alley ) I believe gaves is the run around went 3 times to the dealer our bank that they use gave us a voucher code I believe to make process easy, they didnt care I preferred to use there bank rates . Our bank called there regional manger to seal the deal no one ever answered our bank to finalize he called all day I tried talking to finance just got put on hold for more then an hour ,never talk to someone . They make promises till u run ur credit start negotiations and then u hear (hold on let me see what I can do) Pass by there just talking and laughing in a bundle , I'm gonna see whati can do with bbb or something this place is childs play . Santa ana dealer won t recommend unless u have bad credit and willing to walk in backward into the dealer I have a lot more to say but they already took enough of my time . Don't believe me got in there with ur own offer from ur bank which is the best thing to do anyways More
DO NOT RECCOMEND(DANGEROUS) Me and my mother looked for a car in late july this year, we were looking at a suv (cx-9) with 60k miles on it. From the beggining it was a nice and warm buying experience, they a car in late july this year, we were looking at a suv (cx-9) with 60k miles on it. From the beggining it was a nice and warm buying experience, they were on top of it (drinks, accomdations) and at the end of the day we were sold and given the 1 set of keys. Not even considering the key fob was broken and not replaced before and after buying the car, the gas wasnt even filled. We were told it came with a 1 year warranty which was a blessing in this situation. As someone who isn't much of a irrational person when we had an issue that was involving the coolant system they were on top of it at the beggining. I stated and it was obvious by the overkilling sweet smell of coolant. We were told it was something else and the car would always be "deodorized" by the time we would get the car. It would be fine but still had a overbearing coolant smell. All the while my mother would be breaking her back working to support her bills and pay for two cars because she was using a rental before hand , because she wasn't in ownership of a car beforehand. The car was brought in 3 TIMES and at that point the last time we got it, the car had a new dent on the hood, it was missing the engine cover, undercarriage plastic cover, and the inside had the workers dirty gloves still. There was one apology and it was told it would get fixed. The service manager finally found the issue after it was stated by us more than 3 times that the issue was in the coolant system . The car is supposedly fixed and I'm out of the state when I get a call from my mother that the car shut off in the middle of the street. Mind you we haven't had the car long enough for a OIL CHANGE. All the work had been done there since we've had it. Everytime we went to pick the car up it would take an hour to get because everyone would be so "busy" looking at the other potential car buyers. I take honesty and morality very seriously so it was surprising when I called again and was told the customer(My mom and me) stated the issue "unclearly 3 times"... I said coolant coming from the engine bay. There is only so much a consumer can say to when it should be up to the mechanics responsibility after that. They offer to fix the car one last time and after they become very uninterested in the subject almost as if there wasn't any care put into it. My mother then calls again to tell me the car isn't turning on and is now leaking and spraying gas! We now are clearly frustrated and try to reach out and the service manager is very cold towards us when we talk about bringing the car back for a potential reimbursement that my mom had talked about. This isn't a volume knob that's broken. This is a mechanical issue that they know about and while my mom is sitting without a car they could care less. We are done dealing with them and we are now taking it to the the mechanic shop that the warranty offered. They call back and say that in the fuel injectors rail they stripped a bolt into the rail and that's the reason the fuel injectors popped off. They state it would've been a 1500 dollar job had we bought it back there, mind you. At the point thatwe were done the dealership they said we would need to make "out of pocket" costs for repairs. I repeat NOT EVEN LONG ENOUGH TO HAVE FOR A OIL CHANGE because at this point they have had it more in possession than my mom has had it(she's still making payments on it) we are now checking to make sure the coolant was actually fixed and this is still an ongoing issue. I don't recommend this place. We were extremely patient with them and understanding when they said they would call back and wouldn't, when they would take a hour to give us back the car when my mom would have to work. When we would call to confirm pickup and drive out to pick it up, then would wait for another hour for then just to say it would be ready the next day. Unsafe, unprofessional, rude, and above all dangerous. More
