My husband made several attempts for 1 week to get information on a Porsche they had for sale and every time the response would be automatic never a call same response every attempt. We tried to call and after several attempts we got ahold of Edwardo our sales agent set up an appt the same day test drove the car around 4 pm said we were very interested but wanted a mechanic to check it out before the purchase he agreed and said he could drive it to our mechanic of choice the next morning. My husband said he would call him by 10 am and give him info on mechanic when he called next morning he was told the car was sold by another sales person that evening. Seriously what kind of place does that no call no sorry nothing .... poor customer service on sooo many levels ... find yourself a better place too many others that honor your business.. read more

I thought I owed them a review, I generally don't review things get much. Randy was pretty cool with me being only 18 walking in for an M6. Helped me get where I needed to be,within reason, though the car had been hit while parked recently. Now that I do work in the industry myself, I can relatively speak on both sides of the fence, they do have an addendum, but it's relatively modest for what some other dealers choose to go for, but to be straight, that's how the car industry is going! Anyways, thank you guys for all your help, and one more shoutout to Randy for the help! read more

Auto Republic - Orange - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Orange, California

See all

I have never owned a truck before and decided now was the time. I got a referral for Auto Republic from a close friend and all I can say is it's a no brainer folks. I called and told them I wanted either a 19/20 Dodge Ram Limited or GMC Sierra Denali. 3 weeks later I got the call there was a 2019 Ram limited in Salt Lake City, Ut auction gave them my high bid and boom three weeks later I literally have the best Truck I've seen in So Cal. I did add a 5 in Adjustable lift kit with new tires and rims all for a reasonable price. They do customization of all kinds and communication was on point from everyone involved. I can say I will never use another dealership again. read more

Auto Republic - Orange - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Orange, California

Contacted by Fernando re: used Kia. Details on car advertised: keyless entry, roof rack, and titanium gray. Car was blue with huge dents and scratches. No keyless entry, no roof rack, and no floor in the trunk part - open to the batteries. Complete bait and switch, 100% waste of time. read more

Purchased my 2016 Explorer from them on December 29TH. Service was great that day, however less then a week later the car started making a noise when turning the steering wheel and a loud rumble was coming from the front end of the car. I called them to report what was going on. They had me take my car to their service department come to find out the LoJack was installed incorrectly and some belt needed to be replaced. Fast forward to January 22 I'm driving home from work and the whole front end panel flies off, ripping off weather stripping and scratching my passenger window. I called them right after the incident happened and was told I needed to contact their Fullerton service department. I proceeded to call on Saturday and they didn't answer. I called again on Sunday only to find out it was closed so I left a voicemail. Come Monday I still haven't heard back from anyone so I call Fullerton again. Sales department finally answered and they told me that the manager from AR Orange was supposed to call them to make the appointment for me because they couldn't directly give me an appointment. I call the Orange location back and spoke Art. I let them know again about my situation and he told me that I would have to speak to Ram but since Ram was busy he would call me back within 15-20 minutes. I never got a call back on Monday. I called back again Tuesday afternoon and spoke with Eddie who told had me message him pictures of my car and again was told that I would receive a call back.. again I never did. It is now Wednesday morning and I call the Orange office to finally speak with Ram. I informed him about my situation and after all this wait I was told that the panel is considered cosmetic so that their service department cannot fix it, best thing they can possibly do is find me the part at a lower price. It has been less than a month since I purchased this vehicle and it's been nothing but problems. Why should I have pay out of pocket for something that is out of my control? UPDATE: It is now February 6th and have yet to hear from anyone. last I spoke with someone which was 10 days ago I was told they would call me back that same day to provide me with a price quote for the part that needs to be replaced. read more

Auto Republic - Orange - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Orange, California

My car buying experience has been so great with Auto Republic, that I came back to get my second car. My experience has always been great. They were immediately attentive, answered any questions I had, let me test drive and made the paperwork process as quick as they could so I didn't have to wait so long. Marco was the one who helped me out and he was great from start to finish. Thank you Marco and thank you to the team for all your help. Anytime I know a friend is looking to buy, I always recommend Auto Republic because of the quality of cars, big selection, great service and best of all, best prices. They're hard to beat on great pricing. That's what drew me to them and they definitely try to give you a great deal. Thank you again! read more

I have to say that at first I was a bit skeptical about negotiating our deal over the phone, especially when it comes to transferring deposits. Tito assured me that everything was legit and fair, and to his word, it was. When it came down to signing the papers, a young man named Caesar was amazingly patient and helpful. Afterwards I asked Tito about favorite restaurants for the locals there, as we are from out of town. He said that personally he doesn't eat out that much because his wife is such an amazing cook. How can you not trust a man who honors his wife's cooking! I am 58 and I have to say this was my best auto buying experience to date. read more

I recently bought a Transit 250 from Auto Republic and the service I received was great. The van I purchased was sold as is no warranty. However, after buying the van and driving it fully loaded the van steering wheel was shaking after breaking hard on the freeway. I called Fernando and he immediately said to bring it in. They inspected it and found the break rotors to be worn, with no hesitation they replaced the four rotors and all the break pads. Remember the van was sold as is!! read more

If you wanna get ripped off I suggest you come here. We were charged for a bunch of bullshit that we didn't ask for or need. They scammed us and pretended like our vehicle came with LoJack when we were actually charged for it. We were also charged for weather sealers which looks like a damn clear sticker. Crooks!!! read more

I had a great experience here with Tito in December 2020. He was very helpful and made a deal go through no matter what. We negotiated and he never pressured me into anything. Car came with after market add ons that I wasn't overcharged for. I recommend Tito he did a great job. I walked out happy and with the car I wanted. My car has given me zero issues. read more

Auto Republic - Orange - 2013 Dodge Durango - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Orange, California

Avoid this place!! We have bought 6 cars from their dealerships, but this last one has been nothing but problems since we've bought it. We were promised a car wash and full tank of gas and didn't ever hear back. I've had to take my car to be fixed over 4 times in the last two months, leaving me with no car most of the time. When we addressed the other problems with the car, Petre was absolutely horrible! I couldn't believe he would talk to a customer like that, let alone any person. Super unprofessional and from reading other reviews they seem to know these cars have problems and don't care to disclose this to their customers. We also had to pay for LoJack, which we never received the info on like promised. read more

I came in with my parents looking for a used car for them. Internet price is completely different from what they show you in person. Chris quoted me one price, then this other senior sales guy comes in and quotes me even higher! Then lastly when wanting to talk to the manager about the price chris gave me, he basically laughed in our face saying he couldn't do it. They all talk wayyy too much and wasted 3 hours of our time. For what? Just to make an extra $300?!?? DO NOT GO HERE. DONT TRUST THEM. read more

We just finished our purchase of a 2013 Jeep Rubicon. We worked with Marco who was extremely responsive to my questions and provided top notch customer service as we worked out a deal that best fit our budget. Marco also brought the car to us! Which was amazing. I would recommend this dealer, they have great looking cars. Our mechanic also took a long look at the car and he confirmed it was very clean and ready to go! Thank you Marco for a smooth professional experience! read more

Honestly was concerned buying my used jeep. This dealership holds to the high standards its other locations do. They were extremely honest and helpful throughout the process, on top of their honesty they helped make ends meet with the approval i wanted but couldnt get. Even after i drove of the lot i had an issue no one could have for seen. The took care of me where almost any other dealership would have said "not our problem" 10/10 would buy here again, and will definitely look to them first for m next car read more

Auto Republic - Orange - My new jeep - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Orange, California

Want to absolutely waste your time? Come here! Offered them FULL advertised price on a car listed on their website and they said the best price they could do was 7 grand OVER the listed price! Because they "were scheduled" to add leather seats, and once it is "scheduled" there's nothing they could do. They managed to add 5 grand onto the asking price for things they didn't even do. What kind of bs is that? You're going to list a car and not allow someone to buy it for the full listed price? What a joke!! read more

This is ok but don't get anything from them or let them sell you anything unless is written i bought a Lexus ct200h price was just ok. Here is why I'm giving them a 1 star the car was missing a SD card for the gps and they said they would get me never got and answer they kept saying next week like I said I bunch of lying crook even talk to the manager name Tito se thing next week next week. I end up buying a card form the dealer ship for $250 and guess what Still no response from Auto republic is 2 months now. I definitely would not recommend this place for any one or if you buy anything check, triple check everything. I understand it was an used car but is the principal of honest business and this place definitely not honest. read more

At first glance, this place seems really high end because they have nice newer cars with modifications. The guys who worked there seemed very nice and open and seemed like they are all very close. They're definitely in tune with aesthetics more than mechanics in my experience. We went to see a Honda S2000 and something with the clutch broke while on the test drive. In the process of me driving it it wouldn't go into gear, traffic was upset and flying around me - I was apologizing to the salesman who was with me because thought that maybe I didn't know how to drive this specific car. When my mom test drove it, it fully broke and they had to push it into the dealership. They said it worked the week prior and must have just broke since. It's an old car and that makes sense. It also had a weird steering wheel issue where there was play in it. They didn't fix that, but they did spend extra money on their end to paint the wheels to make it LOOK nice that you had to pay for in the price. The interesting part was when they were going to take a week to repair the car while we were still interested. The car never made it back on the website to be for sale. We checked every few days, it never popped up again. When we were leaving after that fiasco hoping they'd fix the issues and we'd come back to buy it, there was an older guy who worked there who stopped us to mansplain about how it's a good car and about the high value and lack of depreciation for the car. We generally buy cars that don't depreciate and even buy cars that appreciate, so that was very annoying and funny to listen to. We test drove a Type R, the suspension was doing very odd rubbing which you can hear and feel, it was lowered. They said it was going to sell fast, but it's been on over a month since we've been there and the price was reduced. I think their prices are very high in general. I was there while someone was trying to purchase a 4x4 (or had already purchased it) and they were very upset because the previous owner hooked up external lights that removed the function of the high beams. The salesman too was visibly disappointed that they didn't work and he wasn't aware that it didn't work. Overall the cars look very nice, we didn't see any actual engine issues on our drives, but the cars are not without their flaws. read more

If you are looking for a car this is the place to go they will take care of you, I had been looking at different dealers for a couple of weeks comparing prices and cars until finally I found the right one. I would definitely ask for Marco he was amazing from the moment I walked in, he was never pushy and wanted to really help me get the car I really liked for the right price. He was very patient with me, it took me a couple of trips to make my decision and am so glad he gave me many different options until I decided for my awesome Jeep. Thank you Marco and Auto Republic pleasure doing business with you. read more

Went to look at a vehicle yesterday and let me tell you the kid was more interested in talking about conspiracy theories and then to actually help me work numbers for a vehicle may because I'm a female he doesn't take me seriously but this place is a joke read more

Came as a potential buyer of a 2012 FJ Cruiser. Vehicle was listed at 35,000 dollars. When it came to test driving and checking out the vehicle, it had all kinds of issues. The salesman said they had to jump the vehicle to get it started prior to me reviewing it. The tire light was on, the exterior and interior were dirty, and it had cobwebs all over the tires/bumper. The attached snorkel had screws missing and the salesman was unsure how long it had been sitting in the lot. And to top it off, the vehicle died/stalled during my test drive. The salesman was stern about selling the vehicle "as is". Definitely not worth the price they're asking. Disappointed due to the potential and lack of care/maintenance for the vehicle. All sorts of red flags before talking numbers. read more

Yesterday I bought a Subaru from Auto Republic and had the best experience. I called a few moments before I left my house to see if they had the car in stock, it took roughly an hour and 20 mins to get there. When I arrived they greeted me by name and had the car pulled around within 2 minutes of getting out of my car. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. After my drive and inspection I asked if they could help me with getting the car to LA since I'm new here and didn't have a way to get both cars back home. After signing paperwork I drove home and they sent me an Uber to return and pickup my new car. Overall the fastest, friendliest and stress free car buying purchase I've had so far. I forgot my dealers name because I'm absolutely terrible at names but thank you for making this so pleasant read more

Worst selling tactics I've seen by far, and knowingly was sold a vehicle with a bad battery

My fiance purchased a 2015 nissan rogue and both Danny and Marco were amazing very professional and helpful in every way so happy we chose Auto Republic to purchase our car and will also in the future and will definitely refer our family and friends. read more

Do not buy with Art. Buyer beware. That guy is so nice and fair until things aren't going his way. He literally yelled at me saying I've been here since 8:30am!!! Excuse me??? How's your work schedule my problem??? Crazy salesman... They ran my credit, I qualified and we were ready to make the deal. They told me I can let my ride go home since the deal was going to happen knowing I didn't have any cash on hand. After my ride left they insisted I give them cash for a down payment when it was past 9pm. I offered to pay some in credit card and the rest in check but they continued to give me a hard time about wanting cash down or credit card. They said it's because they don't trust people or checks. Why are they in the car business if they don't trust people? I have amazing credit and was a no risk kind of buyer i was so confused. I told them well now I need a ride and my ride is 50 miles away. Art the sales guy said, "get your own ride I'm done" and left! Mind you he supposedly lived in my neighborhood according to him while he was trying to earn my business. I was left in the facility with the assistant manager who was a total jerk from the start rolling his eyes while my kids were with me when I first arrived. After Art left this assistant manager guy decided to call the police while I was waiting for my ride to pick me up at 11:30pm at night. The police arrived and told me I would have to wait outside. Worst experience I've ever had! Thanks to Art, the salesman and the assistant manager. They were horrible and beyond unprofessional. read more

I am giving one star because I can't go lower, I was looking for a car on line for my wife and this dealer has one that I was interested, I send them a message and they responded, I make and appointment and I drove from LA. To Anaheim, they were sending me texts message to make sure that I was going to make it, I got there and Brandon start helping us in checking a car, after checking 4 cars we ask for the key to check one more car, Brandon went in side and never come back in stead "Tito" came out, with a very bad attitude to tell us that they can't find the key and that it was no discounts in any of the cars I never ask for a discount, this guy treated us like we were asking for something for free, I felt like I was discriminated, Tito was very very rude, I was willing to buy a car, I was even willing to buy it cash for the right price, I am sure that the owner of this dealer doesn't know who is working there, this guy Tito the worst, I know that this is one one of several dealers with this name, but for sure I am never come back to any of them, read more

Horrible servicio. Para empezar ace un como mes me acerque ha este lugar porq mire una Toyota Tacoma q mire en offer up. Su valor 39700 con 50801 millas. Pero al empezar a firma papeles me estaban cobrando una cuota por la silla de piel ($2790)de la troka lo cual nunca me mencionó q se me iba a cobrar más por la troka. Esto no me gusto . Atención con el señor marco se quería pasar de listo. Lo jack y clear coat package te quieren incluir pero no es necesario. Para concluir el precio del vehículo te lo terminan cambiando read more

So they had a reasonably priced convertible version of a sports car I've been in the market for. I've done extensive research so I'm aware of the going rate for this vehicle and I'm fully willing to pay the advertised price. So I walk onto the lot, I ask one of the reps if he can point me in the direction of the car I'm looking for he's very helpful and immediately takes me to it. The cars in pretty good condition, looks as advertised everything seems to be checking out. So I ask for a test drive. The guy tells me in order to test drive they need to run my credit... this should have been the first red flag. So I tell him that's not a thing and i hope he's asking all his customers for credit checks before a test drive (I know he doesn't because no one would buy a car here if that were the case) I told him I'm happy to show him my drivers license, my active insurance policy if needed, I also informed him that this "high end car" as he described it, while nice, was worth less than half of what I drove to the dealership in. I have excellent credit, I can afford the car and I hope that I'm not being profiled. He goes inside and checks with the "manager" who comes out and says it's not a problem I can do the test drive he just has to come with me. I say no problem and we go on the test drive. The car drives pretty solid i come back inspect the car one last time and I'm ready to make a deal. Again, I'm fully willing to pay the advertised price, didn't ask for a discount just what the out the door price is after tax, licensing etc. Of course when the rep comes back it's nearly $6k more than advertised (taxes were 10+%, which fine it's LA i knew that) but there's about $2k+ in charges for LoJack ($900) this isn't 2001, and that's why we have insurance, but here you don't have a choice they say it's "included" in all their vehicles. Then they have an additional $895 charge for powder coated wheels. Again a treatment/option that no one asked for, yet they "require" you to get. Am I supposed to buy the car separate from the wheels?! They didnt even have an option without it. Long story short, they advertise prices to get you in the door but then beat you over the head with "options" that aren't optional to bring the price back up. I would have respected them more if they just put those things into the price of the vehicle, then we as consumers can decide if it's a worthwhile deal or not. Its pretty poor business practice and the reason why people don't enjoy shopping at used car dealerships. This perpetuates the stereotypes. They would have had a deal had the price been as advertised. But I'm sure they sold it to some sucker who they told it's only another "$10 per month over 72 months..." lol Just be cautious when going to places like this. The only reason I didn't give 1 star is because the guy I did the test drive with was actually a good guy and had decent service, it's just unfortunate "the manager" wasn't willing to sell the car at the advertised price. read more

Total bait and switch! Internet price $10,991. On the test drive I asked what's the real price? My credit score is above good, I have my own financing"what's the real price," We don't haggle, I was told. When it came time to make the deal they jacked the price to over $14,000. Taxes and registration should have only added about $1000. Thanks for waisting my time. Went to Toyota, same car, no BS. read more

Came here today and with the help of Chris my wife and I left extremely happy in our chevy silverado! Chris made the process very smooth and so much easier for us. We came to him with a loan from a credit union and i drove off the lot in my new car in less than three hours from start to finish. I recommend auto republic and ask for chris. read more

Looked at several places for a Ford C-Max Hybrid and finally found a great one here. Chris was really knowledge and nice. He even filled the tank up and got a new battery for my car fob when it was coming up low battery at like 8pm when they were closing. Very happy with my purchase. read more

Purchased another car from AR, this time a RAM 3500. With 4 locations full of cars these guys always seem to have whatever I'm looking for. I did have them upgrade the interior to leather, new wheels and tires as well as an upgraded bumper. Having a custom shop in house is really nice if you need to roll it into the financing. Anyhow the truck looks awesome,everyone who sees the truck thinks it's worth $10k more than I paid. read more

This review is for the 1st vehicle that my wife and I purchased at AR. I must say after going to more than 10 dealerships if not more (trust me I'm not joking or exaggerating). We were ready to throw in the towel and stop looking for my wife's dream SUV. A Toyota 4Runner the ultimate mom car lol. No other dealership had THE ONE that my wife was looking for. I was able to find this one on offer up lol. We drove the next morning to the dealership... what did we have to lose? Once she saw it we new this was the one... BUT first we had to negotiate the price lol. I must say this was the fun part and the reason being EDDIE the finance manager was very understanding and helpful. He and his staff never pressured us at all. We left the dealership without the car. We informed Eddie that we had to think about it after all it's a BIG decision that we were about to take. Eddie was completely understanding. He was very upfront with everything. He made this buying experience very easy and pleasant. Now we are saving for my future truck which I will definitely be going back. Thanks Eddie and staff for everything. (Note I bought vehicle as a gift for my wife Mother's Day gift) this made her mothers extra special. read more

This was my second purchase at Auto Republic of Orange and I must say this was hands down the best auto purchase I've ever had. I've purchased numerous vehicles before, however Chris and Eddie made this such a wonderful and quick experience!

Highly recommend and will definitely be back! Thank you Chris and Eddie! read more

Tito helped me out getting a Cayman S. Kept me informed and up to date as car was initially sent out for blacked out wheels before I could test drive it. He let me know as soon as it was ready to test drive and we got the paperwork and financing done quickly as they worked with my pre-approval from my credit union. Smooth and easy process, great price, great selection of cars! Ask for Tito when looking for a great car! read more
