Wow South Cali Auto is amazing. They resold my car and they got a good amount of money, because of that I got a BMW from them so cheap. I super recommend them. Great people, great management. Looking forward to do business again!

I really don't understand why people have complained about the guys at South Cali Auto. I bought my Honda Civic 6 months ago and I've had any problems what so ever. During the process of buying I couldn't decide between options, but the salesmen were extremely helpful. They gave me car history on and answered all of my questions. Overall great experience I would definitely recommend buying a car here.

I was amazed of the fact they actually picked me up from home to go to the dealership. Their customer service was amazing and they very friendly. George and their team were very helpful and understanding. I walked off the lot the same day with my vehicle.

If I could I would give ZERO stars! This place is awful! They sold a car to my son for $15k, when the value for his car was only $9k, I confirmed it myself when I called Navy Federal with my son. The car was frame damaged and they did not explain to my son what that meant and Navy Federal said they can't do anything about it now, and my son is stuck with loan for $15k. I still don't understand how Navy Federal gave him the money for this car. My son is a young Marine based at Camp Pendleton, it was his first time out on his own and these people took advantage of him! Also the guy who sold my son the car said he was a former Marine as well, but what kind of Marine does that to someone? He also offered my son money to bring his friends in to buy cars, my son's command found out and now he's in trouble. That's bad business paying my son to bring in customers, not he's paying for what these people did. Is that how they get their customers? By paying them?

The worst place in oceanside. ...

The worst place in oceanside. I almost got a car from there but once I ran a car fax myself I realized the car has been in 3 accidents and salesperson never told me that. The value of the car was over prized. I warn you stay away from this place , its a trap for marines.

So I went here to look for a car, I just needed something simple to get me to and from work. I deceidedto stop by here it looked like a nice place, at first the guy was friendly and he use to be in the military. So I got a Dodge Ram from them for work, and well 2 weeks later it broke down. I took it to the shop and now I need a new transmission, 1300 to fix. So I decided to go back there and explain my problem check my warrenty and these guys are a bunch of liers. They wouldn't help fix the car, and now I have no car again and Im in lots of debt. Thanks alot South Cali Auto, STAY AWAY.

I am the Marine that Sgt. Perez was talking about, I was looking for a good car and decided to try this place since he was a former marine. I am so discussed at how I was treated, I am only a private and they took advantage of me. I don't understand how this guy could do such a thing to me, I'm never telling anyone to go there. This way they don't get ripped off, I'm stuck with a salvage tittle car and can't do nothing about it. They only told me salvage tittle means that the bumper had little damage on it, but the truth is the car has been completly repainted and has after market parts. Stay away from this place and don't make the same mistake I did.

This place really disappointed me and my fellow marine, the owner claims he is an ex marine that opened a shop to help other marines out. Sadly this is not true, he had sold one of my private's a salvage tittle car. This had cost him 13,000, when the car is really worth 5,000 total. He is now in debt and can not trade this car in for another one. I do not car for people who take advantage of young marines in this county, I don't reccomend that you buy a car from this place. Stay away my fellow marines!

THIS DEALERSHIP IS AMAZING!! The service was great and all salespeople were young, but very knowledgeable about the vehicles. I have never seen young people so passionate about their work. Very respectful and great with my son. The sale price were great and they even got me lunch! I will recommend this place to everyone! Make sure you avoid those other lots on the coast and come straight here. THANK YOU GUYS AT SOUTH CALI AUTO!
