BUYER BEWARE -- My experience was a nightmare…read more I was sold a 2012 Dodge Charger for over 10k (almost twice its worth) through in-house financing, with $1,000+ monthly payments and a promise they would take the vehicle back and agree to finance me the car I actually wanted on their lot once it was paid off. The VERY FIRST NIGHT the car wouldn't start. In the contract there was a 3 day window after the sale to return it so I reached out to Jalas son asking to return the car. He threatened me with expensive fees and assured me it was a minor issue and I was overreacting. I wish I would have followed my gut- the issue(s) were not minor at all. Over the next 2 almost 3 years now since buying it, it was drivable only a few months total, and I spent thousands on repairs, including at their own shop--only for the same issues to return immediately. When I finally paid it off, I was told: "Wow, you actually paid it off," and then they refused to take it back, suggesting I might get $1,000 elsewhere. Their shady and probably illegal business model works like this: buyers with limited credit options are placed into high-interest, high-payment loans on vehicles priced well above their actual value and finance payments far above what makes sense from their income statements to be able to maintain. If the car fails or becomes unreliable (which in my case happened almost immediately), the buyer is still fully responsible for the debt and repair costs. By the time many customers struggle to keep up with payments or the vehicle becomes unusable, the dealership has already collected a large portion--or even all--of the inflated purchase price through monthly payments that are near impossible to maintain on top of repair work and insurance. Miss one payment, don't pay insurance for a month, they repossess the car despite how much you might have already spent and they sell it to the next person where they repeat this cruel cycle- effectively allowing the dealership to profit multiple times from the same car while the buyer absorbs the financial loss. It creates a situation where the buyer takes on all the risk, while the dealership benefits from both the financing structure and the resale value of returned vehicles. In total, I put about $15,000 into a car that now doesn't start at all. They made even more money on it to do repairs in house after promising "cheaper parts and labor" only for me to drive off and turn the corner and the problem return immediately. The Dodge dealership out of pity told me to stop spending any more money to repair it, that it's a money pit, and I should cut my losses. Do not take their word for anything. Get an independent inspection and read every line of the contract. They have no problem ruining peoples lives, circumstances, finances if it benefits them financially. This has had a tremendous negative impact on my life. Just don't go there. Take your business elsewhere. I wish I had.

My review begins on October 20th when I was broadsided, and my 2004 Toyota Avalon was totaled…read more After more than 5 weeks of trying to drag the other driver's insurance company along to get things finalized, I began looking on-line. Of course with an older car like that, it didn't have much value left, so I couldn't afford a new, or even a newer, car. I loved my Avalon, my first brand new car I had purchased on my own, and I was heartbroken. So, I looked on-line for another Avalon, but one year newer. I found a 2009 at a little place called Petrol Auto Sales. I extended an inquiry, and got a reply the same day, then a call from Peter the next day. I explained my situation, that I didn't have the money from the insurance company, but was just beginning to look to see what was available. I never felt any pressure. Peter offered some of his experience in dealing with insurance, which was really helpful and appreciated. He asked if he could keep in touch and I said yes; the Avalon they had was out of my price range, but he could check in. So, they kept in touch with me once a week for the next couple of weeks. That's when I explained my frustration with the insurance company and Peter talked me off the ledge! Anyway, I received a notification from an on-line site called TrueCar telling me the Avalon had come down in price, so I emailed Peter. It was still out of my price range, but I couldn't get it out of my head. We were in the area (we live over 100 miles away) over the Thanksgiving holiday, so I texted Peter to see if we could stop on our way home to see it. We did. I drove it and was in love. So, we sat down with him and I took a closer look at my finances and thought I might as well just see what it would cost. They found me a loan that day, but it wasn't as good as I was hoping for, plus I needed another document, so Peter suggested we go on home, send the document, give them a bit more time to shop more loans, and that's what they did. Jake was great with loan shopping and they found me a deal that was unbelievable. I ended up with an interest rate that was so low it was hard to believe. Very affordable, and all of a sudden I could afford the car. We drove up 2 days later, finished the paperwork and took my new Avalon home. They could have told me the loan they found on Friday was the best I'd be able to get and I likely would have figured out a way to do it, but it would have been a struggle down the road. No pressure. Only help and encouragement to hold out for just what I wanted/needed. I would highly recommend this little dealership to anyone looking for a nice used car with friendly service.

Our daughter will drive next year and we will definitely consider a car from Petrol Auto Sales. Highly recommended!

He was very honest,straightforward patient and knowledgeable. He was very pleasant to work with, very respectable with no pressure or sales gimmicks. Always remember when you buy a used car with high mileage, something eventually is going to happen. Little by little that's when things usually start to happen. It is not the dealer's fault. They didn't make it happen or do anything on purpose. You can't expect a new car out of an older car. Don't just buy a car on a whim. Protect yourself. Do your homework, study cars and follow the Carfax. That's the best you can do when you buy a used car. I highly recommend this company. Michelle

Efficient, patient, and professional from start to finish. I never felt pressured, which made the whole process feel easy and comfortable. I purchased a 2017 VW Tiguan, and I can honestly say I am still in love with it. I have had it for a little over a year now, and it has been such a solid, reliable car. It runs smooth, looks great, and has been perfect for everyday life. What really stands out to me is that this wasn't just a quick sale. A year later, I still feel like I made the right decision. That says a lot. They were transparent, provided the Carfax, and made sure everything was straightforward. Buying a car can be stressful, but this experience felt simple and trustworthy. Mom approved, kid approved, stress free. I would absolutely recommend Golden Star Auto Sales to anyone looking for a reliable vehicle and a smooth buying experience.

When I was not expecting when I came, here is a little café in the corner. Since I had the oil change and the tire service I was there for about three hours. Started getting hungry and sauntered over. The woman at the counter told me that the brisket was really good so I went for a brisket, egg and cheese bagel sandwich. DAYUM that sando slaps! I also ordered a latte which had pretty good flavor, but it came out like lava. So sadly, I burned my tongue a little bit, but didn't take away from my enjoyment of that amazing sandwich. I will definitely return to this business.

I had a GREAT experience buying my first Subaru with the folks over at Maita Subaru…read more I first called to make sure they had the car I was looking for on the lot and they assured me they did. Ka'juan Wilkerson was the AMAZING sales associate that we worked with. He had the car already pulled into the show room when we arrived. Ka'juan and Tony (assistant manager) were straight up, fair, and did not play the dumb games that other dealerships will put you through. This truly felt like they wanted to take care of me and get me the car I wanted. I went in for a lease and ended up buying a brand new Forester...I never thought this was an option but Maita Subaru made it happen! Not only do I look forward to taking my car in for service, but I look forward to buying all of my future cars from this dealership as long as they keep up the good work. Thank you Ka'juan, Tony, and Eric for taking care of me...you guys are the best!!!

THE VIOLATIONS:Contract & Title Fraud: They forced me to sign a fake financing contract (Form LAW 553) with a fabricated payment schedule just to trap me in a hidden arbitration clause. Because I paid cash, the physical title was legally required to be released directly to me--instead, they illegally withheld it and processed it through the DMV to fake a conditional sale.Unroadworthy Safety Issues: The car was sold with completely bald, illegal tires. Cost $1,015 out of pocket to replace; they only returned $500 (a $515 loss).Severe Mechanical Failure: Days later, the heater core burst, dumping scalding coolant onto my feet while driving. Folsom Chevrolet fixed it for $2,578. The dealer refused to help unless I accepted a tiny $850 reimbursement. I was forced to sign for this partial payment under extreme duress, leaving me with a $1,728 loss.Concealed Defects: They hid a catastrophic engine defect (completely burns all oil in 2,000 miles) and illegally failed to provide the mandatory FTC Buyer's Guide or the CA 2-Day Contract Cancellation Option.This dealership is running a highly deceptive operation. Formal complaints have been filed with the CA DMV Investigations Division and the Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR). Protect yourself and stay away!
