Town & c Country from Auto Advantage.
Tracy L.

I am a single mom who was in need of a new vehicle from to a three car hit-and-run in my driveway. When you plan to buy a vehicle you have time to psych yourself for all that entails. I did not have time for this and am so glad I came across Auto Advantage. My experience was wonderful, easy and quick, also in the middle of a pandemic. It took about 30 minutes total to do all of the paperwork (in the past it had been hours and lots of mansplaining.). All of my questions were answered with no mansplaining. . I never knew buying a car could be this easy! I bought a Town & Country minivan and I couldn't believe how clean it was... Amazing, runs great, feels like new. I got a great deal and highly recommend Auto Advantage. You will not be disappointed. Give them a try,

I had the pleasure to deal with both Vic and Erik. I found the car online and inquired. Their response was fast and informative. They were not pushy and answered all my questions upfront. I wanted to assure the car was in good shape and in perfect working condition before I committed to flying out and buying the car. Vic made me feel very comfortable when I requested more photos and information on the car as he sent me over 65+ photos and told me every small scratch or issue. Once I got arrived they were fast and had everything ready. Erik helped me test drive it and bam 35 min later I was on my 10 hour journey home. I inspected the car at my shop and it was in the great condition they both told me. I have received my license plate and registration in less than a month and I applaud them for their time and pleasant experience they provided. Thank you guys! I am now a proud owner of a dream car I've always wanted.

Found a great used Sienna with low mileage here and the process to purchase was pretty quick. I did pay the car off with a check, so if you finance the car, it might take a little longer. The test drive process was easy and Francisco was awesome. He answered the questions we had and was not pushing extra stuff that dealers try to have you buy. I would definitely recommend this place looking for a used car.

My new GTI!!

I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I'm a first time car buyer and Francisco made the entire experience perfect. From the initial call, to financing, to test driving, all of it was great. He was very polite and very honest. The car itself is in great condition. They boast that they truly buy clean cars and they do. All the cars they sell are covered in their lot and they have used cards that don't pass their own inspection that they refuse to sell to consumers like us. The whole process was so easy and quick and I 10/10 recommend their services. So far my car has been perfect!

Purchased vehicle!

I will stop here in the future for all my car buying need thank you so much auto advantage you guys are phenomenal!!

Called and spoke to Erik and right away felt like I wasn't talking to a normal sales guy that would try and haggle you.

I had a bit of a "tale of two experiences" at this location. I recently purchased a 2019 Lexus RX…read more350, and initially, I was ready to give a 5-star review. The sales process was incredibly smooth--no pressure, the paperwork was efficient, and the staff at the Dan Way location were professional and welcoming. However, the "after-care" has been a different story. Shortly after the purchase, a mechanical issue arose that was clearly covered under the 30-day limited warranty. While I expected a quick fix, the service department has made it incredibly difficult to actually get the car in. When there the team could not diagnose the issue and asked to have me return if the issue persists. However; The Challenges: * Scheduling: Trying to get an appointment was a headache. I was told they were "extremely busy" and couldn't see the car for over a week, despite it being a warranty issue on a car they just sold me. * Resolution: While the issue is technically "covered," the hurdle of getting it diagnosed and repaired has turned an "easy" buying experience into a stressful ownership experience. I love the Lexus, but the service side of this CarMax needs a major overhaul in terms of accessibility and customer support. If you buy here, just be prepared for a potential fight if anything goes wrong during your warranty period

However I had a vibration at idle. Brought it t to service.. they check it. Did some maintenance services and but still couldn't fix my vibration issue. I took to my mechanic and side the serpentine belt tensioner needed to repair. Brought it back to Carmax and said there is still no problem found. I paid for diagnostic and now will get it repair done and pay for it out my pocket """ SO MUCH FOR THE worry-free 4000 mi / 90 day warranty """ . .. that's why only 3 stars I gave them.

There recon service is to do a minimum repair before sales and have the customer front the bill..

Very helpful. They have great AC inside, it's clean, and the chairs inside are comfortable. I have not yet found the right car, but am absolutely putting this place on my radar since the cars where all very nice and the staff were professional and never spoke down to me.

THEY DONT EVEN DESERVE ONE STAR .DONT DO BUSINESS HERE !! Avoid Toyota of Escondido in fact go to…read moreKia or Honda or even Hyundai much higher service. I purchased a Certified 2022 Prius, but "certified" clearly doesn't mean certified at this dealership. Within days, the gas door wouldn't open and the car wouldn't take fuel. From the start, the dealership was shady on the contract. They quoted me one price, but the final paperwork showed a completely different price. When I spoke up, instead of addressing it professionally, they got angry and ultimately broke the contract--clearly because honoring it didn't benefit them. After contacting Toyota Corporate, the dealership escalated their hostility. They were rude, confrontational, and even threatened to call the police while I was on the phone explaining the situation. At the end, they falsely accused me of not returning a spare key, which I had already given back--they lost it and tried to blame me.lies lies lies !! Their Yelp reviews say it all. Dealerships like this scam customers, treat them with intimidation, and refuse accountability. I would never recommend buying from them.I will never buy Toyota here or anywhere else because of the actions of this dealership and from the looks of it many people feel the same way about this dealership.GOOD LUCK . As I still haven't received a response on Yelp from Jessica regarding my horrible experience with this dealership, here's my update: I am now purchasing a Tesla. As I said before, Toyota of Escondido lied about the so-called "no funding." They broke the contract because they didn't want to give me another car of equal or higher value. They canceled the deal on the same day I called corporate--after I had already had the "Toyota Certified" vehicle for a week. And honestly, if it was truly "certified," how do you miss something as basic as the gas door not opening? They claimed I didn't have funding, which was a complete excuse. Shady place, all crooks. Get a Honda or a Tesla--I love mine!

Best Car Buying Experience I've Ever Had - Hands Down!…read more I can honestly say this was the best car-buying experience I've ever had. Escondido Auto went completely above and beyond from the moment I walked in. Cisco was the sales professional who helped me, and he was incredible. No pressure, no gimmicks, no wasted time -- just straightforward, honest service. He made buying my Tesla unbelievably easy. The entire process took about 45 minutes, and I was driving off feeling confident and excited. They truly had the best prices around, and everything was transparent and smooth. Cisco answered every question, explained everything clearly, and made sure the whole transaction was stress-free. You don't find service like this very often. If you're looking for a dealership that values your time and treats you right, Escondido Auto is the place to go -- ask for Cisco! I'm already planning to come back for a truck in the near future. That's how good the experience was. Highly, highly recommend!

I have purchased a lot of cars and actually owned a small auto dealership in my younger years. I…read morecan't say enough about Cisco as my sales person. He was super friendly, responsive and transparent about the process and vehicle I purchased. This was definitely the fastest and best car buying experience I've ever had. I was in and out of there in less than an hour including the test drive! 1000% recommendation to go and talk to Cisco if you're looking for a quality used car.
