They really educated me on car buying and let me walk away and come back. I immediately experienced high pressure sales elsewhere and came back to buy my SUV. The sales process took less than an hour and I drove away. Any issues I had were addressed immediately. I am so happy with my car. read more

Once again the professional gentlemen at Advantage Auto Center delivered great customer service, loyalty, and consistency beyond my expectations!!! This is my second purchase while also referring friends. Wow oh wow! Not only are all their vehicles in tip top shape but also immaculately clean inside out out. Purchasing is nearly a breeze. Fastest in and out purchase with thorough document review while sharing easy going conversation. I highly recommend these good ol boys to anyone in need ofa dependable reliable ride or if seeking a nice beefy truck! Thanks again guys! read more

This is about a month late. I spotted this truck on the lot and spoke with Bruce who was very friendly. I had an older 92 Ford F-250 4x4 that I had to sell first. After selling it, Bruce and I settled on a fair price and I took the truck home. I looked at a few others and nothing really came close to how clean this 20 yr old truck was and the low mileage. 106K. Today they texted me to offer me a free pie from Apple Annie's that was seriously affected by the El Dorado fire that is currently burning through our community of Yucaipa. Advantage purchased several pies to support our local businesses in Oak Glen and passed them along to customers. Kudos to them. Thanks to all. Go buy a car from them. read more

I have purchased two auto's from advantage and have always been pleased with their customer service. With first auto when I encountered difficulties with support with service contract , they stepped up to make calls to get care and service I needed. With my most recent purchase when vehicle was found to have a concern they were quick to get vehicle serviced and back on the road. I am very pleased with their support and care of the customer as their first priority. It has always been an Advantage to use Advantage Auto Center when buying a used vehicle. Thank you guys you are awesome. read more

Such an amazing car buying experience! My husband wanted a truck and found one at this dealership. We went to test drive it and applied for a loan through them. Jon looked at us after getting the loan terms and said "NO, this is ridiculous!" He was honest about the loan conditions and suggested an alternative. We ended up going from a 14% APR loan to 5.8% based on his suggestion and saved a ton of money! He guided us through the whole process,was great at communicating and best of all there was no pushy sales, no added warranty pushes.... NOTHING! The whole experience was so clear cut and professional as compared to the Chino Ford experience I recently had. I will definitely be buying here in the future! read more

This was the best car buying experience I have ever had in my entire life. John is so knowledgeable and helpful. The whole transaction went smoothly! The car is perfect! It will always be my first choice to buy a car and the only place I recommend to my friends. I didn't know buying a car could be easy until I came here!! read more

I recently purchased a vehicle from this dealership, and was very pleased with the entire process. 1st of all, they are actually a "no pressure" used car dealer. I did not feel, at any time during the process, that I was "being talked into" buying anything. The sales rep I worked with, Jon Vessels, was very patient with me, answered every question I asked in an honest manner, and left me feeling that I was working with someone who actually respected me. As for the vehicle, well, it is in great shape for an "older" vehicle, and this dealership worked hard to address any mechanical or electrical concerns that I had before I took delivery of my Chevy Uplander van. All in all, I would & do recommend this dealership highly to anyone looking for a good used vehicle, without all of the usual "used car" pressure you get at most other used car lots !! read more

When you want excellent customer service I mean exceptional customer service you must go see these guys! I have purchased two cars from this lot and I have been nothing less than overly satisfied!

I have come back and will always continue to buy my cars from this lot as I love these guys I love their cars wonderful inventory and wonderful customer service what more could you ask for? I will also buy my third car within the next 12 months so once again, great job Advantage Auto! Tracie Woodley read more

Car shopping made easy! We wanted to buy our daughter a present for getting a full ride to CSSB. We hate the car shopping experience. Advantage made life easy. We told them what we wanted. We told them what we needed in a payment, amount down and features. They did all the shopping for us. After a few days we went down, looked at a few options that fit and less than an hour later we drive off with a very happy baby and her new car. The pictures say it all. Overall, they are local, easy to work with, turn key and what you see is what you get (NO SALES BS). Great experience, highly recommended. read more

This place was AMAZING! They made everything so simple. Bruce is a fantastic car salesman. He is fair and honest (also hilarious!). We loved our experience and when you go ask for Bruce because he's the best! read more

That's right 5 star. The most pleasant used car purchase experience I've ever had. Jon is the guy you need to see he will take good care of you and tell everything you want about the car , the financing , the whole shabang . I drove by and saw a Tahoe LT I liked it was pristine and loaded with all the bells and whistles , I didn't think I had chance in buying this , we sat down he asked and I answered and shazzam I drove home in my Tahoe. Love this guy. read more

A big thank you to everyone at Advantage Auto Center. We had been checking out trucks most of the day to see what was out there when we came across Advantage on yelp. They had great reviews and so far my experience with yelp has been been pretty accurate to what other reviews were stating. That said, our experience was great. The salesman Bruce was extremely knowledge and very genuine. After other places we had been to this was so refreshing. Best part is that it didn't stop there. Darren was great as well and worked with us to get us where we needed to be price wise. We didn't use financing so I can't speak as to what they offer in regards to that, but I can tell you we were in and out quickly. Never did we feel rushed or pushed to make a decision. In fact, I would almost say the opposite. They wanted you to feel comfortable with your decision. The truck is clean and runs great. They even offered for the stock headers to us at no cost and this was after the sale had been completed. We will definitely be back the next time a need for another vehicle arises. If you are looking at purchasing a used car, do yourself a favor and check them out. read more

I searched for months online looking for a truck. I came across a used Titan being offered by Advantage Auto Center. They were also listed on USAA.com as an authorized vender which made me feel like I could trust them a bit more. The price was very reasonable so I called them ten minutes before they closed to ask some questions about the truck. I got straight answers so I decided to make the drive to see the truck. Bruce came out to the lot and introduced himself and ran to get the key. I went through the vehicle end to end and found it was actually in better shape than I had anticipated. My hands were greasy from checking fluids, belts and hoses, so again Bruce ran to get me a rag to clean my hands. I took it for a test drive and decided I was going to purchase it. Never not once did I get the feeling that I was being tricked, scammed or forced to close the deal. They provided the Car Fax report and the contract was typical but quick. They had one part (a license plate light) on order and offered to bring it to me when it comes in. While I was waiting for the contract to get completed I saw a worker outside wiping down the truck. Bruce told me that is the owner of the lot. I was impressed that this guy who owns the joint was out there working with his team to offer the best product. The entire process took less than two hours and most of that was me going through the vehicle. I got a great truck for a very good price and I am very satisfied. They are friendly, not pushy, and have fair pricing. If you're in the market for a car or truck and live in the I.E. you might want to give them a chance. read more

These guys live up to what they say about there 30 day warranty, so if there is anything wrong with the vehicle (motor transmission) the dealer pays half and customer pays half within that 30 day period. You see that type of support matters. They didn't just say, they did. read more

I do NOT recommend this place. They will not honor their warranty nor PROPERLY fix ( quick fix kind of place ) the problem. Wasted my time commuting from orange county & money to a non friendly, money hungry, poor customer service half ... dealership! I will only give them 4 stars for the lesson they taught me, to stay away from shady places like these! read more

We were shopping for an reasonably priced smaller truck for our sons 16th birthday. We had a very nice and easy, non pressured experience with no haggle pricing and great service . Gib was very helpful and easy to work with. They went up and beyond to get the truck ready for my sons birthday and would recommend them to our friends and family. read more

Advantage Auto Center - One happy 16 year old - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Redlands, California

We bought a car on March 2. There was a slight noise so they took it to their mechanic. We were told that he didn't know what the noise was but it wasn't anything major but they would only sell it to us as is. We shouldn't have trusted them. That was our fault. April 26 the transmission went out and now we know why they sold it to us as is. For the past two weeks they've been telling us that they were going to do something to help us out because they stand behind their products. Darren kept telling us he was going to talk to the David, his partner, to see exactly what they'd do but that they were going to help us. We had to take it to our mechanic to have it fixed ASAP since this is my only vehicle. They have now told us that they aren't going to do anything. Keep in mind they knew that we were taking it to our mechanic while they said they were going to help. DO NOT buy anything as is from them. Chances are they know it's something big. They seemed like upfront and honest people but unfortunately they aren't. They don't check their vehicles, or their mechanic doesn't. My car barely had any oil in it when purchased. My parents also bought a vehicle from them a week after I did & both vehicles needed the air conditioning fixed. Be VERY CAREFUL when buying from them. I regret recommending them to family & friends and I will not continue to do so. read more

Great buying experience at Advantage! Sales team is great, knowledgeable but not pushy. Everything is very clean and organized, and all the cars are priced right on point. I would recommend 10/10. read more

We traded in our car to purchase a vehicle here. After 4 days and finding it was leaking fluid, we took the vehicle to my brothers auto mechanic shop to have it looked over. He estimated a LOW ballpark of about $6,000 in repairs. Said the bottom of the truck was completely rusted out. We took the vehicle back to Advantage to get our trade in back and not only did they give us a horribly hard time but tacked on $3,000 in charges AND took our new subwoofer out and did not reimbursement us. read more

First class group of guys, got the car I wanted and they made the financing work in budget, car is still doing great! Give them a shot!

Awesome experience with zero pressure!! This dealership exceeded expectations. We purchased a Lexus sedan and absolutely love it! Loved that the employees were professional and not pushy. Changed my perspective on the car buying process. Will definitely recommend! read more

Just stopped by to look at the trucks. Bruce came across the lot to help me. Showed me around and had a talk. He's a straight shooter, I asked his opinion about Auto Locaters, also in Yucaipa. He assured me that Skye and Kelly are good people. He didn't have what I was looking for but I know he would of been fair. Good guy. Ask for Bruce! read more

My experience here Exceeded all of my expectations!!! Bruce and John are absolutely amazing!!! We highly recommend this place to anyone that is searching for a car. The professionalism, customer service are exquisite THANK YOU Bruce and John for EVERYTHING! 10 STARS!!! read more

I had a great experience purchasing a car from this dealership! I would definitely do business with them again. They were very friendly and patient. They were certainly not pushy like most car dealers. They were just very honest and down to earth. I was not the easiest customer because I had delays with my financing, and I also brought the car back because one of the lights went on, and I had another minor issue. They were totally patient and they took care of everything with no problem at all. They sold me a quality vehicle and a great price, and I plan to bring my daughter in when she is ready to purchase her next vehicle. They had a lot full of high quality vehicles. Definitely check them out when you are in the market for a car! read more
