I had a great experience purchasing my 2016 Mazda MX-5 from this dealership. Daniel C., Daniel T., along with the rest of the staff and the managers, was professional, respectful, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. They genuinely tried to negotiate a fair price, which I really appreciated. What stood out the most was their transparency and willingness to let me take the car to my own mechanic for a pre-purchase inspection. During the inspection, it was found that the front brake pads needed to be replaced, and the dealership had no problem taking care of the repair before the sale. Overall, it was a smooth, honest, and stress-free buying experience. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a vehicle and I would buy here again if they sell a GR86.

I recently purchased a 2020 Kia Optima and we couldn't be more happier with the car and the process. Daniel C. was very helpful answering all the questions we had and letting us test drive it. He worked with his team and was able to lock down the price that worked for us which I really appreciated. Definitely recommend and ask for Daniel.

Top tier experience with Frank on helping me purchase the exact spec car I had been looking at for some time. I planned to fly into the city and was able to figure everything out to a great degree of detail talking to Frank remotely. From the get go, Frank was very communicative and sent me pictures and details of the car before it arrived on the lot. Frank shared the whole process of the car being inspected to ensure quality and that anything needed was replaced with new components. I was guided throughout the week what was happening with the car, and Frank even set up personal pickup from the airport to drive me there! A+ phenomenal service and care. The whole process was fantastic from start to end, including a great test drive witj Frank. I highly recommend Frank and the dealership to anyone looking for a great deal on their next vehicle!

Came out winning. Got exactly the car that lit up our faces. If you want the hook-ups, connect with Daniel (Danny) Gonzalez. Excellent customer service. Will tailor your finances to you. And makes sure you get the car you want. I would buy another car with him for the service and the quality of selection of cars. Competitive prices, variety of stock, and excellent customer service. We did research with other places. Don’t waste your time with the weak competition. Connect with Danny. Down to earth, real talk, friendly service. Definitely worth the 4 hour drive.
