Keabreone B.

I'm in the market a new used car looking to buy within the next week or so, I've been on the hunt I like Toyotas and I am a big fan of the C-HR. I was super excited when I found this car, but calling the dealership took any joy out of the entire experience. I found a 2019 Toyota C-HR listed around $15.5k on Carfax and tracked it down to this dealership. I called in to ask a few basic questions before making the trip. From the start, the tone was off. I was told they were "very busy," which I understood and even offered to call back, but was told to continue anyway. I spoke with Chris, who came across as dismissive throughout the call. During the conversation, he asked where I was located. I provided both my city and zip code, and he responded with "no, I said city," even though I had already clearly given it. It felt unnecessarily rude and set the tone for the rest of the interaction. Throughout the call, he also spoke in a way that made it feel like he was doing me a favor by allowing me to purchase the car, rather than actually helping a potential customer. When I asked for an out-the-door price (a standard question as a serious buyer), I was quoted nearly $3,500 more than the listing and told they "don't like to give out-the-door prices" because those customers don't usually buy. I was also told they prioritize customers physically in front of them. As someone ready to purchase, I'm not willing to drive in without knowing if we're even close on price. The lack of transparency, combined with the tone of the conversation, made the experience feel unprofessional and not customer-focused. To be fair, the advertised pricing itself seems competitive compared to the market. However, the communication and unwillingness to provide clear numbers upfront made me decide to look elsewhere. I'd recommend others confirm full pricing and expectations before visiting.

Solid people. Good to work with. Great cars. Excellent price.
Christopher W.

Very good service by Rigo, Chris & Aaron. Bought a white 2023 Kona EV with 28k miles. Cars.com showed it as a great deal with 97% battery efficiency compared to new. Well explained. Reasonable sales process.

Dream Car, Thanks Chris!

Chris is the GOAT! He sold me my dream car, an Acura NSX. He genuinely cares about making sure you are happy with the car before buying. Very knowledgeable and understanding He made the experience very enjoyable and he is a funny and likable guy. Thanks again Chris!

Ashley A.

All I can say is WOW! This is my second time buying a car with Chris, and he once again delivered a true 5-star experience that impressed me every step of the way. Chris has been nothing short of amazing in both of my car-buying experiences with him. He made sure I was taken care of through every part of the process -- from looking at the car, to purchasing it, and even after the sale, still checking in to make sure I was happy with everything (which I 100% am). Chris is fair, reasonable, and always keeps his word. That means so much and is a huge part of why I came back to work with him again. I truly feel like a valued customer, not just another sale. It's clear he takes great care of his customers and conducts business with the highest level of integrity -- and it does not go unnoticed. Chris, thank you for all that you do and for the hard work you put in for your customers. You are truly a great salesman, and it has been a pleasure doing business with you again. I look forward to continuing to be a lifelong Auto Republic customer thanks to you!

Purchased Used Car -- Major Failure After 8 Months, $7,600 Repair Needed
Jazmine G.

Purchased Used Car -- Major Failure After 8 Months, $7,600 Repair Needed I purchased a 2019 Honda Odyssey from Auto Republic, and only 8 months later the car suddenly slipped itself into neutral while I was driving on a freeway ramp with my family inside. We were nearly hit by a semi truck. After getting safely off the ramp, I contacted Auto Republic to see if they could help. I was told the vehicle wasn't under warranty. When I asked why no warranty was offered at purchase, they told me it was "probably because we financed through Schools First." Jimmy in the service department was polite and did try to help by offering a discounted labor rate and calling around for prices. However, repairs with them are ultimately too risky to do through the dealership, and we have to take the car elsewhere. The total cost to make the vehicle safe and drivable again is $7,600 or more --less than a year after purchase. Sharing this so future buyers know what to expect and can make an informed decision.

Seamless transaction!

Drive Your Dream!…read more After spending some time shopping around for our car my boyfriend and I came across Supreme Motors. The price of the car was in our range and what really caught my eye is how immaculate condition the car was in. (All the cars looked amazing) Seriously guys-- compared to all the other dealers we went to, this car was sparkling and ready to come home. The process to purchase the car was so smooth and we had two pups to play with while we were waiting for all the paper work to go through. Was truly an experience of ease and enjoyment. Thank you so much Ehren! (And his partner! I didn't get his name but he was great too.) We appreciate you selling this car to us and wishing you good luck and many sales! We are thinking of getting the car detailed here in the future too :) - Alexis and Shane

Always perfect--the cars come back looking like they rolled off the showroom floor. That deep, mirror-finish shine you can see yourself in. They've got a clean, professional setup on Placentia Avenue near 19th Street--appointment-based, call ahead to set up initial s. Easy, no fuss. I text Ehren--he's quick to reply, we set something up, and he sends his crew. They're solid. They cover surrounding areas, even 15 miles out like me. No problem--they show up, do the work. Seats wiped, carpets vacuumed, windows clear, wheels shiny, trim polished. Everything flawless without me saying a word. And those monthly maintenance packages? Great value--keeps everything looking sharp without breaking the bank. Friendly, on time, they care. Call Ehren at Supreme Motors--your cars will look great.

**First Time Car Buyer** 12/10 experience with AutoNation…read moreToyota Buena Park, especially Abdulla, Nikole and Farmarz. I was in the market for a Rav 4 Plug-In Hybrid for a few weeks, reaching out to many, many dealers and doing my research/diligence. When I got in touch with Abdulla, he was professional and transparent on our call and messages, and I really felt he was going to bat for my business. I came in the next day to close our deal. Nikole took care of me at the dealership and was also extremely friendly and courteous throughout. There was a minor hiccup in the process but Nikole and the management team stayed professional and problem-solved to take care of the issue so that I took home my brand new car that day (and it's beautiful!). The finance office (Farmarz) was also direct, transparent and likable, and we were able to crank out the paperwork smoothly. Even reception had a nice atmosphere and friendliness to them that cast another positive light on the entire experience. Overall, the Buena Park team took the nerves and the stigma out of the car buying process for me, and I would absolutely recommend giving them a shot!

At the time, there was a competitive promo so I was ready to reserve the car since it had not arrived on the lot yet. Fischer came back with an itemized OTD breakdown, and I noticed a $749 charge for "Appearance Protection," which I was told, for some reason, could not be removed. Please be aware that this is NOT a mandatory government or manufacturer fee. This is something that the dealership tacks on to increase profits on their end. He justified this by saying it was to protect the doors lol. Once we pushed back on this charge, his initial friendly tone turned stone cold and he was quite dismissive to us. Not only that, but the sales tax on the quote was incorrect. We live in an area with a higher sales tax rate, so the OTD price appeared lower than what we would actually expect to pay. One could write this off as a simple oversight, except he had already collected our information beforehand, including our address. Truthfully, I can understand why they're using these tactics. This is your textbook dealership trying to squeeze profits and hoping that you are uninformed enough to take the bait, and I don't blame them IF I'm operating on a pure business standpoint. If you do, for whatever reason, end up here, I urge you to look closely at the OTD breakdown, question any appearance protection or dealer-added products, and independently double-check every line on the quote. WHERE I FOUND MY 2026 CAMRY After this shocking experience, I went to Longo Toyota in El Monte and worked with Paul. The difference was night and day. He gave me a great deal, I didn't experience the same questionable add-on pressure, and we were in and out with our new Camry within about 2 hours.

Extremely disappointing experience at Tesla Buena Park Service…read more I brought in my brand-new Cybertruck with several delivery-related concerns, including noticeable optical distortion in the windshield. The distortion is clearly visible while driving and causes dizziness and nausea. Multiple people have looked through the windshield and noticed the same distortion. Instead of properly documenting my concerns, the service advisor kept disagreeing with me and even said he was not going to note them down because he believed they were "within spec." I had to repeatedly ask him to document my concerns. Whether Tesla ultimately determines something is within spec or not, a customer's reported concern--especially one involving driver visibility and safety--should at least be documented and evaluated. I was also told by the Long Beach delivery team that the issues they documented at delivery would be transferred to the service center. Unfortunately, none of those notes were transferred as promised. With the advisor's dismissive attitude from the beginning, I had very little confidence that my concerns would actually be addressed. Unfortunately, that turned out to be the case. None of the issues I brought the vehicle in for were taken care of. I will be rescheduling my service at another Tesla location and will not return to the Buena Park Service Center. For a brand-new vehicle, and especially for concerns affecting the driver's visibility through the windshield, I expected a much more professional and thorough response than simply being told everything is "within spec."

OverAll, first impression was still better than most smaller owned dealerships .... However, bought a 2014 truck w/ 94k miles, $3700 down... and less than 60 days later, realized it needed a 3k TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY (A new transmission was recommended even), Drive shaft and Fuel pump module. The truck was never serviced either, needed an oil change, front brakes and alignment (small things that I can take care of anyways) Reached out to the dealership in good faith to see if they'd help in one way or another, wasn't expecting the repairs to get completed all by them but who knows.... I was referred to a shop for it to get checked out and they found nothing wrong with the transmission I guess, being so busy, I took time to see another person yet one month after their referral, the check engine light went on and boom, there indeed was a transmission issue. The dealership and 3 other shops all quoted total repairs at $4k to $6k in repairs, or more if I replace the transmission. Side note: Before I realized the issues in my truck, I did refer a friend to the place too and they noted that the cars they checked up on did seem like they needed maintenance too, again, small problems but something to note Can't say you all will have this experience but do carefully examine your vehicles, CAREFULLY, before signing those papers! This has been an EXPERIENCE in my books TWO stars instead of one, since I know the salesman and office staff there definitely deserve some credit I put this review on Google and Yelp since I feel it's important everyone hears me out on this honest review AND YES, I HAVE INVOICES AND RECEIPTS AND PROOF IF ANYONE DOUBTS THIS REVIEW.

Before coming into Fullerton, I had originally taken my truck to another Ford dealer in the area, in which my truck sat there for a week, not even pulled into the shop, undiagnosed, and fully un-communicated with by the service advisor. Which was super frustrating being out a vehicle for this amount of time. I ended up picking the truck up and taking it over to Fullerton, which was a great decision! At Fullerton, I got in touch with Cesar, who took excellent care of me and my truck. He was super communicative, and productive on getting my transmission issues fixed under warranty and was even able to get me a rental car while my truck was getting wrenched on. I do want to note too, the whole service team was great, when Cesar was gone or out for lunch they all picked up his work and made sure I was taken care of. Hopefully I don't find myself back in the service department anytime soon, but if I do, I'm 100% bringing the vehicles to Fullerton over any Ford service dept in SoCal. Might even find myself in the sales department later on down the road!

On Friday, February 28, at around 7:00 PM, I went in to purchase a 2025 Ford Bronco Sport that was advertised for $38,060 (see photo). During negotiations, Mark insisted I had to purchase paint protection, LoJack, and several other add-ons totaling nearly $7,000. I declined multiple times, but he claimed the items were already included in the price -- something I later confirmed is not legal to force on a buyer. He refused to move from a price of about $45,000, despite the vehicle being listed around $38,000. I ultimately walked away. After leaving and doing some quick research, I returned to the dealership and informed him that mandatory add-ons are not allowed. At that point, he changed his story, saying the products were already installed on the vehicle, then provided yet another price including LoJack, claiming it was already in the car -- which did not appear to be true. In my opinion, this felt extremely dishonest and misleading, and the entire experience came across as very shady. I would strongly caution anyone considering buying a vehicle here to carefully review pricing and question any forced add-ons.
