When I went to go visit Southbay Mini, I was really there just to browse. I was unsure if I wanted to buy a Mini Cooper and because of my dealer's experience and knowledge and more importantly ENTHUSIASM for just to browse. I was unsure if I wanted to buy a Mini Cooper and because of my dealer's experience and knowledge and more importantly ENTHUSIASM for Mini Coopers overall I was motivated and excited to drive one off the lot that night. I'm usually reluctant visiting dealerships because of the whole "shark" theory that dealers can play but Chris is definitely not the annoying over-aggressive dealer. He is a pleasure to deal with, easy talk to, answered all my questions. I was happy with my purchase. I love my Mini and always refer my friends over to Chris that are in the market for a Mini or BMW. After my mini purchase, I went with my husband back to Chris to purchase another one for him. More
The salesperson I dealt with was Chris Yuseco. I was never pressured into buying a Mini. He answered every question I had and was very friendly. This was unlike any other visit to any other dealer whi never pressured into buying a Mini. He answered every question I had and was very friendly. This was unlike any other visit to any other dealer which was always pressured. Chris remembered me every time and still does. The time between my first visit and the next I think was almost a year. He still remembered and still answered every question. The Mini was my first new car and it was a great experience. I never felt like I was being forced to make a decision. If I feel pressure by a salesperson I always walk away and Chris never did that. In conclusion, if you want a Mini see Chris. More
I've bought more than a few cars over the years and my experience with Chris was definitely the best. I contacted Chris through e-mail and we were able to hammer out a deal within an e-mail or two.

I bought a new 2010 MINI from Chris Yuseco and I couldn't be more pleased to have worked with him. He answered all my questions about the vehicle I was looking at and explained all the options and accessorie be more pleased to have worked with him. He answered all my questions about the vehicle I was looking at and explained all the options and accessories I could order my new car with. On top of that, he took his afternoon showing me vehicles they had on the lot and what I could order, all with no pressure to buy a vehicle from him! More

I have purchased many cars over the years, and I can truly say that my experience with South Bay MINI was painless and fun! Saying that a car purchase was "fun" is unusual. My sales rep, Amanda White wa truly say that my experience with South Bay MINI was painless and fun! Saying that a car purchase was "fun" is unusual. My sales rep, Amanda White was extremely knowledgeable and she walked me through the details of all figures and my new MINI. She knew more than your average sales rep, which was also refreshing. I am an automotive historian, and I know my cars. Amanda was able to teach me a couple of things! How many times can you say you've been at a dealership where the sales rep knows everything about their product?! I have been to the dealership many times after the initial purchase. I live in Newport Beach and I am willing to drive to Torrance for this dealer's commitment to my satisfaction. It's out of my way, but well worth the drive. I would recommend this dealership to any potential MINI buyer. They make it fun. They make it memorable in a positive way. Thanks South Bay MINI! Thank You Amanda! More
Chris is such a great guy to work with. First off he is an enthusiast just like me. You can really tell that he loves cars just by talking to him. He knows mini coopers inside and out. In fact when I was t an enthusiast just like me. You can really tell that he loves cars just by talking to him. He knows mini coopers inside and out. In fact when I was there in his dealership most of the other employees with go up to him and ask him questions. He really is the go to guy when it comes to mini coopers. You cant fake things like that. You know how some people know the product they are selling just because they read and memorized everything about it, but with Chris he really knows his product not just because he works there but he genuinely is passionate about the mini brand. Just by the way he talks about it you can really tell and if see his car, he has one of the best looking mini coopers I have ever seen. After talking to him and test driving a mini. I had no hesitations on buying one from him. Also the fact that south bay mini was the only dealership in socal that was selling there cars for MSRP other dealerships where selling there mini for up to $10K over the sticker. This was when gas was $5 a gallon and mini coopers where sold out everywhere. So I ordered my mini from the factory and Chris really went out of his way to let me know the progress of my build. I was one of those clients who would bug him every week about my car (whats the status, when is it arriving? etc. ) I must have drove him crazy hehehe. So the day the car arrives he calls me and tells me that the car is here. I scheduled an appointment to pick up the car and headed down to south bay mini. When I got there my New Mini Cooper was waiting for me in front of the dealership. Chris brought me over to finance to sign papers after all the formalities where over. He went over the cars features and even showed me cool things about the car I did not know. I was in and out of there in an hour! Overall I have never had a better car buying experience anywhere else. Chris is the best car sales guy over there! I guaranty you will not find better service any where else! PS. I was so happy with his service I bought another mini cooper from Chris 6 months after! More
I had the excellent opportunity to visit South Bay Mini when looking for a new car. Chris Yuseco was the person I met at the dealership. He explained the vehicle to me, and made me feel very comfortable in when looking for a new car. Chris Yuseco was the person I met at the dealership. He explained the vehicle to me, and made me feel very comfortable in seriously considering a Mini as my new car. I returned with my family for a test drive with Chris. He was exceptionally patient as I asked many questions, mostly elementary ones. His commitment to customer service allowed us to decide that this was going to be a very positive experience as we continued with the purchase of my first Mini. I have been back to the dealership on many occasions, where Chris has always greeted me by name. He returns calls when I have a question, and makes me feel very valued as a customer. Great car, great dealership, great dealer. More
My experience at South Bay MINI was everything I could have asked for when buying my first car. It was my parents' early 21st birthday gift to me and I knew I had wanted a MINI for months. When we got to have asked for when buying my first car. It was my parents' early 21st birthday gift to me and I knew I had wanted a MINI for months. When we got to the dealership, Alex was extremely helpful from the get go. Not only was she very knowledgeable about all the MINIS I was interested in, she was extremely engaging with my entirely family and made us feel comfortable right away. She would call and email me during the couple weeks we were car shopping just to check up on my decision making process and see if there was anything she could do. She didn't pressure us or shove numbers down our throats, but just really worked to get us the BEST possible price. We literally paid exactly what we asked for at the end and I drove away in the exact MINI I wanted! SB MINI really made the whole car buying experience simple, straightforward, and stress-free. Both Alex and the finance people did a wonderful job and I love my MINI =) More
