We had a very good experience in buying a car at LA Auto Exchange. Steven was very helpful without being pushy. He went out of his way to help us with add-on services.

Everything went well until I was suppose to pick up the car 2 days later the car was not ready, and the salesman was not there after telling us that he would be there & the car would be ready and waiting after doing some minor repairs Fortunately, the sales manager stepped in, and got the car ready, and was very helpful and apologize for his salesman other than that the sales manager was very professional, but the salesman was very unprofessional in completing the sale He basically took the money and ran and left the others to finish what he has started with no regard to the customer, having to wait an extended time, because of his unprofessionalism and lies

Brilliant job by a professional yet low key 'OG' crew! First POC (point of contact) was with Rudy who is the epitome of 'high touch/consultative style). Members of the core team also chilled and made the entire UX super chill .

Jesse Perea is the man you should talk to! Honesty is his best trait! We showed up to check out an Escalade, it was detailed nicely, as described in the ad, and ready to roll, but we also asked to see some more trucks that they had on the lot. We looked at more than a few and without skipping a beat, Jesse would immediately pull up the carfax report to give us the facts quickly. He did an excellent job, and we are stoked with his service! The kids love the Escalade! Thank you!

Very good, straight shooters. They sell pretty much list price. They are fair and don't waste your time haggling over things you don't want. They have me a fair price for my trade in. Very quick and easy!

OC Auto Exchange was phenomenal!!! The experience was outstanding and the customer service was excellent. From the time we walked on the lot to the time we went through the process and left with our new car the experience was exceptional. Aiden was great our sales man and Arturo our finance person was great. I had just mentioned to Erika that the customer service that we are getting here from this private owned dealership was great. I want to take my hat off to this dealership and let everyone know the customer service and personalization you will receive will be outstanding!!! Thank you again OC Auto Exchange!!!

Great car buying experience! All of the staff were extremely helpful and friendly and listened to our preferences instead of trying to put me and my wife in a car that they wanted to get rid of. Huge selection of vehicles as well! Highly recommend!

The employees were very helpful and professional. The consideration of my needs and wants were fulfilled, allowing me to make a reasonable decision. I expressed my parameters to my sales person (Jovi) and he thoughtfully presented vehicles which I could choose and afford.
