I used to have a 1999 Mercury Sable, and it got me where I needed to go for a good long while, but…read moreit accumulated many problems over the years. Finally back in June, I decided it was too much of a headache to try and maintain it and deal with its eccentricities, so I started shopping around for a decent used car. Initially I was looking for something as cheap as possible off of Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace, but my mother convinced me to look for something in a slightly higher quality range, something reliable and dependable enough for her to borrow to drive down to San Diego and see relatives once or twice a year. And I'm glad she did, because otherwise I probably would have ended up with something nowhere near as nice as the 2015 Volkswagen Passat from Castro Auto Sales that I ended up with. I was waiting to write this review until she and I had been on one such roadtrip, because while it has performed well around town here so far, I knew that would be the real test of it. And it passed with flying colors! So I am very happy with the purchase. The salesman Mo was very straightforward and not high-pressure. He was easy to deal with. My family knows an independent mechanic that we go to frequently when we have an issue with one of our vehicles, and we acquainted ourselves with a friend of his who works at Tom's Auto Service across the street from Castro, and both of them said the same thing: the majority of the car dealerships around here are sketchy and not worth buying from, but Castro is the real deal. I am inclined to agree. The car runs great, it is a smooth and comfortable ride, and I've gotten several compliments on it already! Whenever I am in the market for another vehicle in the future, I am going to come back to Castro.

The vehicle is undrivable because it leaks and burns so much oil off the exhaust manifold. The automotive repair shop stated these are problems that existed far before I purchased the vehicle and regardless should have been spotted and included in the report and inspection done on the vehicle prior to me purchasing it when I purchased it. I called and spoke with the owner of Castro's auto sales, he denied any responsibility and refused to do anything. I filed a report with the bureau of automotive repair. STAY AWAY.

I had planned to have my son take it for me, I confirmed that was the final price, including getting it reprogrammed. But then they said as the owner needed to come & show ID (which they never asked for). When i dropped it off i noticed the price was $261.07. I questioned it & the guy said thats not my real price & crossed it out because i told him i wasn't going to sign it. So i signed it after he crossed it out. When I went back to pick it up, they told me it was $261.07. I said no it's supposed to be $150.21. The lady went to go ask, and the manager came back telling me that he spoke to me on the phone, I said yes and i was told it was $150.21. He said that he's pretty sure he told me that with the reprogramming fee it was $261.07. I told him I'm pretty sure he did not. We stood there for a few minutes going back-and-forth and I eventually just paid it because i needed the key. But I felt lied to and was very disappointed that they did not honor the price I was given, and the fact that he was gaslighting me. When he had given me the price over the phone I was with my daughter and the phone was on speaker. She had heard the price as well. I have taken my Tahoe there in the past a couple of times with no issues, but I will definitely not be returning after this incident.

Mullahey Ford in Arryo Grande does it again, by bringing "the fun" back to the car buying…read moreexperience! This was not my first "go around" here (previously I purchased a used Mini Cooper JCW) but I am happy to report to you, my dearYelp review Readers, that purchasing my latest vehicle (a used Ford F-250 Super Duty Truck) was quite simply "a pleasure". I walked onto the lot not expecting to find a reasonably priced truck (ya...prices today are uncomfortably high...for everything, but especially for vehicles) and there she was...a "just reduced"white F-250 Super Duty Truck, waiting for me to find her. Actually...it was the Mullahey Ford Representative, Jim Beckman, who steered me in the right direction. Jim was exceptional...personable, knowledgeable, very "laidback", friendly and funny. Due to these qualities , our rapport was instantaneous. If you end up looking for a vehicle at this Dealership...find him...it will be worth your time! Within minutes of the introduction to this F-250...my family and I were on a test drive. Needless to say, it went very well. Getting back to the Dealership, Jim was all smiles and asked how the test drive went. I replied...well, it was okay (when in fact, it went fabulously). We both laughed...we also both knew...I wanted that truck! Before purchasing the truck, Jim allowed me to do my "due diligence" and let me take the vehicle to my local mechanic for a total inspection (nice!), which resulted in this F-250 Super Duty Truck getting a clean bill of health and the recommendation from my mechanic of..."at that price, BUY IT!" So....I did! Adrian in the Finance Dept., got me a decent rate for the small loan I needed after my down payment and the deal was done within 4 days (Saturday - Wednesday). The communication, regarding every step of the process was constant...I always knew what was going on. The few concerns that I had with the truck were taken care of, again...with a smile and I am delighted with my purchase. On this occasion (as before), in this Yelper's opinion, Mullahey Ford in Arryo Grande "brought the goods" so to speak, with the right vehicle, price, service and of course Jim Beckman...in order to truly earn this "highly recommend - looking for a vehicle, come on down and have a look" 5 Star review!

I have been shopping for a 2025 or 2026 Ford Maverick (Lariat Hybrid or Tremor) in Oxford White for…read morea couple of weeks, so I know this market pretty well. Early on Monday, June 15, 2026, before the dealership opened, I came across a Facebook Marketplace listing for that truck, lightly used, at Mullahey Ford, priced at $28,840. Facebook showed the ad had been posted Sunday afternoon, and I contacted the dealer within about 22 minutes of their Monday opening -- so the vehicle was almost certainly still available. The salesperson, Charles, told me the deal was real and said he would follow up in about 30 minutes. I clearly confirmed I wanted to buy the truck at the listed price. When Charles called back roughly 30 minutes later, he said the vehicle had already been sold -- hard to believe given the dealership had been open only minutes. When I checked Mullahey Ford's own website, the same truck was (and still is) listed at $39,080. Charles described the $28,840 figure as an "internet error in pricing." I've heard about dealers using this tactic to get people in and claiming it's an inexplicable error. It's inexcusable, and according to Ai and the California DMV, Illegal. I understand pricing mistakes can happen. What concerns me is the sequence: an advertised price, a confirmation that the deal was "real," and then -- within half an hour -- both a claim that the vehicle was sold and the same truck still listed at a price more than $10,000 higher on the dealer's own site. The Facebook ad shows the truck as a 2025 and Lariat is misspelled as Lariet. The dealer website shows the same truck as a 2026 with Lariat spelled correctly. I compared the mileage, color, options, images and it's the same truck. Unfortunately, the dealer left the VIN out of the Facebook ad, but I was able to find the listing on their website. As a buyer acting in good faith, I found the experience disappointing and would caution others to get any advertised price confirmed in writing before relying on it or trusting the dealership. I am composing a complaint with the California DMV, as this seems to be a clear example of bait-and-switch.

I chose this shop because they were a AAA-approved facility. I trusted that AAA approval meant I…read morewould be dealing with a reputable business that would be honest and transparent. Unfortunately, my experience was the complete opposite. Before my vehicle was ever brought to the shop, I clearly explained that my battery had been dead for a couple of weeks. This was not a surprise and was documented on my paperwork. I was upfront from the very beginning about the condition of my vehicle. After they received my car, I was told that because the vehicle was "dead on arrival," they could not perform diagnostics without installing a new battery first. The problem is that I was still charged a diagnostic fee even though no actual diagnostic testing could be completed. Elizabeth let her mechanic bully me by saying, "your not taking your car off my lot without paying for diagnostics" mind u no official paperwork or machine was hooked up for this "diagnostic".I was essentially told that determining that the vehicle needed a battery counted as a diagnostic. If I had been told beforehand, "Because your battery has been dead, you will still be charged a diagnostic fee even if we cannot complete testing," I could have made an informed decision. That information was not clearly communicated before I was charged. I even asked if AAA could install a battery so the vehicle could be properly tested(since it was hella cheaper), and I was specifically told, "Not on my lot your not. Instead, I was pushed toward purchasing a battery through the shop, which I felt was significantly overpriced. What made this even more frustrating is that after paying for the battery and the diagnostic charge, my vehicle later went back into limp mode again in about 2 days. The entire reason I brought my vehicle in was to figure out what was wrong, and after spending money on a battery and diagnostics, I was still dealing with the original issue. At that point, I felt like the service I paid for did not actually solve the problem. I contacted AAA because I felt the situation was not acceptable. AAA initially instructed me to try resolving it directly with the shop. I did, but the resolution they offered was another diagnostic...lol yeah right. I went back to aaa and the shop wanted to only refund the diagnostic fee while refusing to include my AAA discount. I was told I would not receive the $50 AAA discount back. I felt this was unfair, especially given the circumstances. I continued to push the issue because I did not feel the resolution addressed the full situation. After further involvement from AAA, the shop agreed to include the AAA discount in the refund because they had no choice. Even the refund process became unnecessarily stressful. I was told the check would be mailed, but then I was informed there was an issue with my address. The address information had been entered incorrectly on the shops end, with the numbers switched around, and I was told I had to pick up the check in person instead. After everything that had happened, I did not feel comfortable going alone and brought my dad with me. Elizabeth didn't even look me in the face handed her mechanic the letter of refund and just felt so angry and unwelcoming. The communication during the refund process felt unprofessional and hostile, which added even more stress to an already frustrating situation. I am sharing this because I do not want another customer to go through the same experience. Which i see in the reviews no that they did the same thing to another person and tried to charge 500 for a battery. I was honest and transparent from the beginning about my vehicle's condition. My expectation was simple: clear communication, fair pricing, and honest service. Unfortunately, that was not what I experienced at all. I chose this shop because of the AAA approval, but after my experience i realized that that doesnt mean ANYTHING, I would strongly encourage others to ask detailed questions about what they are actually being charged for before authorizing any work or else they will threaten to keep your car.
