Exceptional online car-buying experience from out of state without ever seeing the vehicle in person. The entire process was smooth and hassle-free, and the car was shipped to the mainland without any issues. It arrived exactly as advertised and in excellent condition. Dragan went above and beyond by selling me the car for less than my original offer to help with my financial situation. His honesty, generosity, and professionalism made this the best car-buying deal I've ever had. I highly recommend working with him. read more

Late review. Nikola was very informative, responsive, and accommodating. He made selling my vehicle a breeze and I would definitely work with him again. He made it so easy as I transitioned to move out of Hawaii. Thank you again Nikola, and I look forward to working with you again should I return! read more

Exceptional Experience Buying Sight Unseen -- Trustworthy, Honest, and Seamless! I had been searching for months for a used SUV with third-row seating within a specific price range here on Maui, and it felt like I kept hitting dead ends--until I found a Land Rover Discovery Sport listed by Auto Connection LLC on Facebook Marketplace. I sent a message, and to my surprise, Dragan responded within seconds. We scheduled a call for the next morning, and from that very first conversation, I felt at ease. Dragan was kind, patient, and not at all pushy. He answered every one of my (many!) questions with calm professionalism and total transparency. I was skeptical at first since I live on Maui and the vehicle was on Oʻahu. I had never purchased a car without seeing or test-driving it, but Dragan walked me through every step and made the process incredibly smooth. He helped me get a great interest rate through HOCU, found a warranty that gave me peace of mind, and even had his mechanics inspect the vehicle. He explained the entire process clearly--including shipping to Maui--and when I got nervous, he gave me space to think without any pressure. When I picked up the car at Kahului Harbor, it drove smooth as silk, the AC was ice cold, and all the paperwork was neatly organized in the glove compartment--just as promised. The car was exactly as described, with no surprises at all. Dragan went above and beyond to make this the best car-buying experience I've ever had. He's sincere, trustworthy, professional, and clearly holds high standards for the vehicles he sells. Even after the sale, he offered his support if I had any questions in the future. If you're looking for a quality vehicle and a dealer you can trust--whether you're on Oʻahu, Maui, or anywhere else--Dragan at Auto Connection is the person you want to work with. I'm so grateful I trusted my instincts. You can buy from Auto Connection with complete peace of mind. Mahalo, Dragan, for everything! read more

Auto Connection - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

This is by far the best place on the island to buy a car. I bought several cars over the years and I always had amazing experience. Dragan and Nikola are great professionals and I highly recommend them! read more

I purchased a 2014 Toyota Sienna from Auto Connection about two weeks ago. Dragan and Nikola made the process sooo easy! I took the van for a couple test drives (once by myself and the second with my husband). I believe they gave me a reasonable price (based on comparisons from KBB). Then when it actually came to purchasing the vehicle, we went in to put a down payment, sign papers, and they handed over the keys- it took only about 10-15 minutes. They took care coordinating financing with my bank (they offer financing but I chose to use my own bank), as well as transfer of title and registration. They really took the stress out of buying a used car. The van has been running very well so far. My only issue is that there is a small piece missing from The front bumper (as seen in the picture), but it's purely cosmetic and expected from a van that's almost 10 years old. Another odd thing is that the trunk won't open all the way- it opened fine when we test drove it, but about the second day after we bought it, it started getting stuck. Had I been more through when test driving it, I might have caught the issue (or not). It seems like an easy fix and it doesn't really bother me, which is why I still give them 5 stars. I still feel like I got a good vehicle for a decent price and easy purchasing process. read more

I have personally bought and sold cars for over 17 years through Auto Connection. I first met Dragen my car was going through Mckinley Car Wash. Auto Connection has been fantastic through the years in every transaction. They are straight forward, transparent about their cars and make buying a car stress free. I have never felt pressure to buy something and they always make sure you get what you want. I also have observed their inventory over the years, they only sell good quality cars and vet the cars they bring in. I take care of my cars, and they respect that. Which makes it even more fun to work with them. I highly recommend Dragen and Nikola! Thanks! read more

Wanted to take a moment to write this review because Dragan at Auto Connection continues to go above and beyond! I have now purchased a few cars from them over the years--- as a Single Mom and just as a "woman" it can be hard to trust anyone in this industry. Not only did they truly give me a great deal (as my friends kept telling me) but both Vehicles I have purchased have been such amazing cars for me and my family. Buying used, it can be scary to know if you're going to get a lemon or not and Dragon really makes sure he does his research in getting you not only a great deal but something that is safe and 'perfect for me'. Because I was buying a used Mercedes I was scared of the cost of maintenance as well but he directed me to an amazing family-owned business (MB Euromotors) that also took care of me and he even gave me a loaner. What used car dealership would do that? A luxury one, that's who ;). And someone who cares about his clients! I hope they read this and can feel my gratitude! With much Aloha, ~ Tamara read more

I was looking around for a Mercedes Benz S Class and I saw the two models 2011 and 2016 that Nikola had on the showroom floor. I thought that I was never going to be able to put myself into one...but Lo and behold...with Nikola's efforts to see me happy...I'm in a Mercedes Benz S63 2011...and the vehicle is like new inside and out!!! I AM THE HAPPIEST CLAM AROUND!! Don't take my word for it...call Nikola here at Auto Connection...you won't regret that you did! And I don't fit the bi read more

Where do I even start. BEST EXAMPLE OF HOW BUYING A CAR SHOULD FEEL!! I have owned 7 or 8 cars in my life where I have had the "opportunity" to sit across a table from a car salesman and hated every moment, until this one. I knew exactly what I was looking for, I knew what I had to trade, and I knew what I could afford was shy of what I needed for Jeep I wanted. The gentlemen that helped and sold me my new Jeep were fantastic! They knew exactly what I could afford and helped get the price down to that mark. I am forever great full, you will always get a referral from me. Mahalo, Mahalo nui loa. Edit: so you know it's a real review.. Parking can be, difficult. Multiple businesses share the same street so parking is almost nonexistent. Even with this 5Stars all day!!!! read more

My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of buying our 2020 Kia Niro Plug In Hybrid from AutoConnection. I have bought quite a few cars in my life and this was by far the best buying experience we ever had. I had read on the website that they do not sell cars, they build relationships. I feel like we walked away with a car and a friendship! We told Nikola exactly what we wanted, and with his expertise he found us something even better. This car has been an absolute dream. Everything was so gentle, both my wife and I were treated with the upmost respect. We had a such a great buying experience, we are excited to buy our next vehicle from AutoConnection. Once again, much Mahalo for helping us find exactly what we needed in the price range we were looking for! Nikola and Dragon treat people like people should be treated, truly great businessmen, but even better humans! read more

I stumbled upon this place when I was at McKinley Car Wash, this Lexus RX 330 caught my eye. I went in to check it out and I ended up leaving with it! They even followed me home with my other car!! Nikola, Dragan and Greg are straight forward guys that value relationships over sales. There is no slimy used car salesman feel at Auto Connection!! Best car buying experience ever! I would definitely come back for my next upgrade. Mahalo Auto Connection read more

Recently I moved from Oahu to the Big Island and unfortunately my car was stolen after being there 7 months. It was a beautiful car that I special ordered and there wasn't another on any Island that I could find to replace it. I looked all over the Big Island for something I would accept as a replacement but was unable to find the right car. Eventually I started trips to Honolulu I felt that I had a better chance finding something there. My first two trips I looked at so many vehicles and still didn't find the right one for me. I got home I started to just look for brand new cars and decided to go with the new Nissan Kick. I started making arrangements to see and test drive the car in Honolulu the next week but that same day I was browsing and came across this sporty looking convertible and I couldn't get it off my mind so I sent a message to Auto Connection inquiring about the 2011 BMW 135i and received a immediate reply from Nikola. I was told it was a beautiful car with very low miles 38000 and in excellent condition. l told Nikola I wanted to come see it next week he said not a problem call him when I arrived. As the plane hit ground in Honolulu I called Nikola and told him I was on my way. I arrived in the evening and the car was inside the garage with the top down and my heart started racing it was love at first sight! They asked for my license I gave it to him and I was handed the keys and told have fun! I was off and the car handled and preformed amazing I was so excited but I noticed one big issue!! "The Check Engine Light Was On!!!" When I returned I know Nikola new I liked it I couldn't hide it but I informed him of the issue and he said he didn't see it before but it will be taken care of i'm sure it's something minor. It was getting late I had a appointment in the morning to see and drive the Nissan Kick so I told Nikola I was going to sleep on it and go see the Kick in the morning and would get back to him before I leave he said he would be waiting. Next morning I picked up a former coworker/friend so I could get her point of view on my choices. We arrived at the Nissan dealer and started looking at the Kicks, We both agreed they were nice but agreed they weren't really my type so I decided to take her to see the BMW. I parked the car and started walking to the entrance and I saw the BMW in the driveway that is when my friend looks at me and says now that car is you it has your name written all over it!! She says don't even think twice just get it! We walked in and met with Nikola I told him as long as you get whatever needs to be fixed so that engine light isnt on I will take it. Nikola promised me and gave me his word it will be taken care of before he put it on the ship! I paid nearly the full asking price for the car and Nikola threw in the shipping. I returned home I gathered all the necessary paperwork needed to purchase and ship the car(insurance binder,cashier check) and was getting ready to send it off when i realized both times I saw the vehicle they had the top down so i never got to inspect the condition of it and that concerned me due to the extreme weather conditions here. I sent a email to Nikola right then inquiring about the condition of the top and that I was concerned that I never had the chance to inspect it. Nickola assured me other than a little fading in the crease from when the top is put down it was in good condition for the cars age so i said great I didn't want to worry about that it rains a lot on my side of the Island. I received the car the following week. I was so exited that it was here I didn't even look or notice the top at first. My first issue happened the day it arrived i was unable to lock or unlock the doors and trunk with either one of the remotes so I messaged Nikola he told me they had worked prior and to check the batteries they probably need to be replaced. I replaced the batteries in both remotes and unfortunately one has never worked but luckily the other did. I got in the car started it up and proceeded home and I looked down at the gauges and no way this can't be right Nikola promised and gave me his word that engine light would be fixed and I would have no problems! This is the start of my worst nightmare!! I notified Nikola of the situation as well as letting him know I was extremely upset and they needed to have it fixed asap!! Nikola assured me it was not on when he took it to the ship but the absolutely would have it fixed as promised. When I got home I started inspecting the car, as i took a closer look my heart just sank and i got sick to my stomach! Nikola flat out lied to me!! The top was in horrible condition when you looked at it closely the top was very worn and coming apart. Going up/down it rattled turns out back window was coming apart from the top which they had tried to glue back on unsuccessfully. Sadly he never tried to resolve the check engine light or the top! No integrity! Broken promises! Stay Away! Con artist! read more

Extremely happy with my experiences here for buying and trading in cars. If you're looking for previously owned vehicles, especially high quality luxury vehicles, I highly recommend auto connection! Dragan and Nikola are true professionals and experts in the biz :) The knowledge and experience they have is truly impressive. They are always fair and reasonable! They are known for keeping long lasting relationships with their customers, so that should tell you a lot. Everyone I've spoken to in the car industry has only had the best things to say, I honestly have never personally heard one bad thing yet! For a car business? That also says a lot. Definitely confidant in referring any friend or family member here for a great deal and a great car buying experience. read more

This dealership is excellent, welcoming and pressure-free. We had a very nice experience dealing with Dragan and Nicola, they are good people. read more

Service was good, but they failed to show me a lot of things while giving me a tour of the vehicle. The Carfax was provided, but when I checked it later it was different from what it said ( I had the copy of the carfax from Autoconnection and compared it with the carfax I received later). When I bought it from the dealer it was one owner, but when I looked at it later it was two owners. The owner was really good and helpful, but I feel skeptical about the dealership (if they actually checked the car for any issues). read more

This is the best dealership hands down that I have ever dealt with! They treat you like family and will work with you even if you have little to no credit.

I had the privilege of working with Dragan when I bought my Toyota 4Runner from them. Dragan was professional, honest and trust worthy. He gave me a great deal on the car I purchased and I couldn't be happy with how well he took care of me as a customer. I will definitely be returning in the future when my wife needs a new car and I will definitely recommend Auto Connection for you car buying needs. Excellent work. Mahalo, Peter read more

Definitely the best place to purchase a great car at a great price! Friendly people, never pushy or anything like that, always helpful and accommodating. Love that you can actually get an answer right away from a real person when you call them :) I must admit that at 1st I was a little hesitant as a couple negative reviews started to worry me. However then I noticed something that all those reviewers had in common - they are from someone who has 0 friends and only a couple reviews and also no picture in many cases. So most likely a competitor or someone who just wanted to hurt the business for personal reasons. read more

Awesome sale people. Local friendly style of sales. Best prices around. I bought a 2003 350z from them. My first time here. I would recommend them to my friends, family, and co-workers.

We bought a BMW and A Lexus from this dealership about 3 years ago and they are both still running great. When you buy a slightly used car, how you take care of it dictates how long it will last (dont forget to do your maintenance). Dragan the owner of this dealership is an awesome guy. Showed me the carfax, the blue book and even went with me to test drive my first purchase which is a Lexus RX (suv) that my wife loves to drive. Im using the M\\ sport packaged BMW 530i. Which is also a grrreat! purchase. I will be back when Im ready to buy my Porsche 911s or perhaps a Maserati... (someday! :) but thank you so much Dragan for being so nice and helpful! I give you 5 stars all the way! - Rhome read more

First, Nikola and Dragan are very friendly and I felt comfortable being there. I came to sell my BMW and Nikola is just amazing. Here is the story behind. I was misled by financial person at the place where I bought my car and almost ripped off over 4k from my car protection package that cost 8k. It happened because he knew I'm moving off the island and probably thought I won't be able to claim and cancel once I move to Japan. Couple weeks ago, I got check from the dealership and there was only $3700 refund. I thought that was it. But Nikola, the owner of Auto Connection told me that I'm supposed to get back more since that protection was active only for 2months and I didn't use any service of them. After tons of email to the financial person, I could get another $4200 back today! I can't say thank you enough Nikola, let's grab some beer in Japan once everything settled down! read more

Makes me feel like a vip customer. Have bought 2 cars and moving on to #3. Let's be real in the car business there are so many variables that can occur, but what matters is they have always been open and honest. read more

Dragan is amazing. I just purchased a Lexus LS 600h L my dream car from Auto Connection. Dragan and his team is amazing. They are so kind and professional. The finance manager and the sales man was super friendly. The process was so effortless. We applied online and within minutes we were approved and choose our car. My car just so happen to be in the shop because the leather was worn and torn in some places. Because the service was taking longer than usual we took delivery of the car and will take it back when the specialist can take appointments. Totally out of Auto Connection control. Dragan assure me that they will fix the leather. What sales man actually follows through on their word??? Well Auto connection does. We got a good deal, great service and an amazing executive car. Very blessed thank you lord and thank you Dragan and your team. read more

Let me say one thing. I bought a car 2005. I'm so mad so I'll just list everything WRONG about this dealership. 1. I was provided a fake carfax that had no accident report or any sort. But recently I found a real copy which reports 2 accidents and odometer rollback. These guys messed with the promoter to lower the mileage. 2. Everything interior about the car started breaking down within the first 6 months. Everything was fine when I purchased but slowly, the power seat buttons were jammed, moon roof button feel off, radio frequency was shit, the glove box compartment broke off!! There's more but I don't even remember them all. 3. Last and the worst...everything broke starting from hoses, leaks, bursts and more. I am still repairng the car today because the power handle burst yesterday...my total repair bill came out over $13000 and I purhased the car for $13500... My words of advice...even if the deal looks and the car looks great, do NOT BUY FROM THEM. They will scam you in every way!!! Message me if you want more information about these crooks. read more

There are a nice selection of vehicles here but they are dusty. You can tell that they aren't driven or washed regularly. The inside of the vehicle I looked at smelled like a dusty vacuum cleaner. After looking online I thought we definitely found the vehicle that we wanted but seeing it there made me rethink everything because it was obvious that it had been sitting for some time. The battery was so dead that even trying to charge it wouldn't make it start, they blamed it on having someone come look at it the day before and the keys being left in the ignition (if that was true it wouldn't have been THAT dead after 1 day). Silly lie. My husband is a mechanic, we aren't that naive. It was listed on the website as a one owner but the Carfax said otherwise. Seems like something silly to lie about. If we didn't have a trade-in I think the experience may have been a little more pleasant for us. We were low-balled on the trade-in offer and told that the features that our vehicle have "don't matter" in the end. We are not stupid enough to think that features don't matter, they make ALL the difference. It was just silly. We were treated like imbeciles and heard all the reasons why we were wrong to expect what our trade in was worth and why our bank was wrong in their assessment of the value. If you don't want to give us a fair price for the trade-in, just say that, trying to be condescending about it doesn't hurt us, it just tells us that you don't really want to do business with us. We aren't desperate enough to pay more than we should. We've purchased/traded in lots of vehicles and out of at least 10 different experiences this one in the running for the top 2 most pathetic ones. I don't expect a dealership to lose their ass to give a good deal but I do expect them to be reasonable and honest. We have the time and money to wait for what we want to come around so we will be taking our business elsewhere. We dealt with the owner in person. The salesman on the phone seemed like a really nice guy which is why we attempted to go here. read more

Kudo's to Dennis at Autoconnection, I bought a car from them and found a problem with the transmission. They took the car back under warranty and repaired it at no cost to me.

Auto Connection made car shopping positive and stress free! We called ahead to ask about a 2012 Mercedes SLK in their inventory. When we arrived they had the car parked front and center of the showroom, polished up with the top down and ready for a test drive. The car was very clean, had been well cared for and with low mileage! The sales team was professional, polite and prepared!! We dealt directly with the final negotiator. None of the typical sitting and waiting while the salesman runs back and forth with the $$$ offers and the pressure cooker starts. We bought a quality product at a good price and we will be back when we need our next car. Thank you Auto Connection for making this the best car buying experience ever! read more

I purchased a 2013 Honda Accord last week from Auto Connection. It was the BEST experience I have ever had at a car dealership. The Accord was in pristine condition, had very low mileage and runs like new. It even had that new car smell despite being approximately five years old. But the best part of my experience was working with Nikola and Dragan. I've been to many car dealerships and we all know how that goes. Salespeople usually tell you what you want, give you a hard time about leaving the lot even when you tell them that you're "just looking", then ditch you when it's time to start the financial part, or worse - brush you off completely if your credit is not prime. That wasn't the case at all with Auto Connection. I worked with Nikola on finding the car I wanted. First he let me look for what I wanted, then left me alone which was perfect - no pressure and no hounding. When I made a decision, he sat with me and worked his hardest to get me the best financing I could get. He was even able to get me a lower monthly payment than the original after working with the lender. My brother purchased a car from them in November as he is thrilled with it! He recommended Auto Connection to me and I am so happy that I went with them. The weekend before, I had gone to one of the larger dealerships here in Hawaii. The experience at Auto Connection was 100 times better. I highly recommend these guys to anyone looking for a very nice and reliable car at an affordable price. It is a lot of pressure shopping for a car and Nikola and Dragan will not make you go through all the headaches that other car dealerships do. Visit their website and see what they have!! You're even able to access the Carfax report for free and without hassle. Best car dealership on the island! read more

Hello Everyone! I purchased a 2007 Mercedes-Benz SL55 from Auto Connection this past month, and it was the best experience I have ever had at a Car Dealership! Nikola, Dragan and Igor provided me with exemplary quality customer service! I was able to purchase the car of my dreams! It was truly a dream come true for a beautiful top of the line car! It was immaculately clean, very low mileage , and such a work of art and machinery! I did not have any pressure, guilt or regret when purchasing my new car. Nikola made the entire process easy, fast and extremely comfortable! I got everything I wanted with my dream car! Nikola was able to take care of all of my questions and concerns with my car. Nikola, Dragan and Igor gave my car showroom care and beyond! I had confidence, assurance and most especially trust and peace of mind, with their Five (5) Star Service and Aloha, that they treated me with every step of the way throughout my experience! I am truly happy and excited with my new car! I am recommending Auto Connection to all my friends and family! Kudos to Auto Connection for a job well done! Ricardo read more
