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! Chris literally walked to the store and purchased my two boys a drink of their choice. Literally from the second I walked in the door I was treated with exceptional service! Highly recommend and will definitely be back! Thank you Chris and Eddie! read more

Great buying experience with Tito Ortiz. He's very attentive, friendly and patient with us. He's very helpful and very understanding of our situation. Would definitely recommend Tito. read more

This one goes for Danny, but the whole crew was dope Real dope Made a purchase on a white Q50s Hybrid .. and Danny made everything real easy and real straight forward. Straight to the point, no games. Was there at 4, and out by 7:30.. Left satisfied w extended warranty, and gap on my quote. Much needed. Now I'm out and about in my new Q50s... and it's in meticulous condition for the price, year, mileage. 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

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

We purchased a used Chevrolet Suburban here with Sal and had a great experience. The no haggle process makes the negotiation simple and they have a great selection. Sal is super fun and very knowledgeable about the entire car industry. After I signed the finance agreement and walked out, the finance guy told me they made a mistake and accidentally charged us for something they shouldn't have. We redrew the contract and my payment went down which shows their honesty. Would definitely recommend Auto Republic for an easy used car buying experience and ask for Sal!!! read more

Do not purchase anything for this place there loan officer Pete or Petri lol this guys a I purchased my vehicle on a Sunday he said all Credit unions were closed and he was going to handle the financing that Monday never heard from him again now I find out he set it up with a bottom of the barrel finance company once again do not purchase a vehicle from this place they are unprofessional and lie about everything read more

This place is horrible. Desperate to make sure you do a horrible deal. Not recommended. Stay away from them. Better places to make a deal. Try to sucker you. read more

Awful service. The salesmen were unable to answer questions regarding the trucks we were looking at. Overall, very unprofessional. The worst experience I've had at a car lot. Wouldn't trust buying any sort of vehicle from here. read more

Thank you guys for fixing the ac problem and changing the condenser. I appreciate the rather prompt response. Sal was great and was very attentive. read more

I don't recommend using this dealer. They list the price of a vehicle and then start charging you extra for itemized stuff that they "added" to the vehicle afterwards, like $500.00 for a "clear coat package", $1000.00 for "lo-jack", another $1000.00 for "powder-coated" rims, etc. When I told them that I don't want any of that extra stuff and that I just want the vehicle they listed for the listed price, they responded with, "uh those things are already installed so we have to charge for them because we can't uninstall them." To which I responded, " Then why did you list that vehicle for that price when you're really asking for $3,000.00 more than the listed price?" The sales guy's voice stumbled and could not answer the question. Beware: This place lists a lower price so that autotrader and KBB will give their listing a "Great" price label but they're really going to charge you a few grand more than their listed price. If anyone at this dealer is reading this, here's some advice: If you list a vehicle for a certain price, that price should be for the vehicle in it's entirety with everything currently on or in it. That is what makes the vehicle. I don't see you guys paying an itemized amount when someone goes in there to trade in a vehicle that KBB says is only worth $3,000.00, but the vehicle has a fully upgraded motor with performance parts adding up to more than $30,000.00. That's the kind of stuff that makes this dealer untrustworthy. Good luck. read more

The guys at Auto Republic, especially Danny and Randy, helped me secure my dream car (a civic type r) at a great price. They were quick to respond to my inquiry and when I arrived at the dealership they immediately got me on a test drive. Everyone I encountered was very friendly and straightforward. After lots of research, what drew me to Auto Republic's listing was the clean carfax and incredible pricing. All of the fees were clearly stated on the listing and I'm very happy with my purchase. The only thing to note when coming is that they cannot process your down payment by card and instead accept cash or a cashiers check so plan ahead. read more

Danny Ortiz was such a pleasure to work with. No pressure sales. Really great experience. Would recommend to buy any car from this guy.

I just bought my first car today, a 2013 Ford Mustang. I called about 20 minutes before I went to the place and Randy did a great job helping me out. When I got there Randy was out waiting for me and he was very kind and helpful. He really got me a good deal and paperwork did not take a long time. Thanks again to Randy, I recommend him and this place so check it out. read more

See all

To give 5 stars or 1 star was a difficult decision to make. The salesman, Ram was absolutely fantastic and deserves 5 stars. Very respectful, heard what I had to say and not contradicting or disrespectful. I went to see a 2015 Spark EV. It was advertised as a 2LT, which it wasn't (no fast charge port). The car wasn't in the best looking condition I.e. paint and road rushed rims but for $7700.00 it was to be expected and the car was fairly priced. However, the dealer, whom deserves NO STARS, packed on a few completely useless items that I had absolutely no use for like lo-jack (the car has OnStar) and so called door edge protectors for $1290.00. They also tried to charge for a smog certificate and some sort of smog fee....on an electric car? Also the only switch blade type remote for the car had a hole where a button should be and the key was broken and bent taped to the back of remote. They offered to replace it BUT if that's the case why not have it replaced before showing the car? Which turned this reasonably priced car to just over a $10k bucket. Ram I hope to God you find your way to an honest and respectable dealer like DeLillo or Connell Chevy as your talent is being waisted. To those of you who are reading this if your considering a fairly priced used car then run from this place! You'll be much farther ahead by putting your money in a bag and setting it on fire! It will turn out to be a better value... read more

Randy from the Orange location was very attentive, knowledgeable and caring. We had lost our previous Jeep to a hit and run, and really needed a car ASAP! Everything we wanted in a car, he found it in our new Jeep! We have been so impressed by his work, we truly recommend him for your next car purchase! Thank you Randy for everything! read more

If I could give no stars I would. Total scam. Don't go here they just wasted me and my boyfriends time.

Excellent customer service. Judson and his team made the process so easy. Definitely recommending everyone to come shop at auto republic

Found the exact car I wanted on their website and made the trip from Rancho Cucamonga to check it out. Alex aka Ace helped me out and he was amazing. He was fast with everything and super friendly with great customer service. He even worked with me to give me a better out-the-door price for my car. This dealership is one of the best in the area, would recommend 10/10 read more

When you advertise a car online you include all the features the car has and list the price but not here. At Auto Republic they list a car with its price, you come down see the car and ask to buy it and then they say "Great! Btw we added some extra stuff to the car so it's going to be another 5k on top of the listed price. read more

I'm an older retired woman and I regret going to this car Dealership alone. I thought I could trust these guys but I was wrong. I just read a review somebody else wrote about the fact that they add things on to the price without originally telling you. I had that same experience. They advertise the car for one price and then they start adding on things that were not mentioned in the original advertised price. They told me I had to have lo-jack, powder coating for the wheels and clear coat for paint protection. I didn't want those things and at first I didn't realize I was paying extra for them. I hadn't bought a car for over 17 years and I got confused. I wish I had walked away but unfortunately I didn't. I bought the car and I'm extremely regretful...I was way overcharged. If you go here, watch them carefully and don't let them sell you things you don't expect or want. I got my car appraised about a month after I bought it and It didn't appraise well. I lost a lot of money. read more

I visited Auto Republic Orange to purchase a vehicle. I haven't bought a car in over a decade so I wasn't aware of the ins and outs and went in there as a single lady. I called ahead to make sure I could test drive it and made an appointment. Chris was supposed to help me but he was distracted with other customers after our test drive and Marco took over with pricing information even though Chris had said we could come to a deal. Marco didn't introduce himself and I felt rushed and later said he was Chris' manager and that he wouldn't let Chris make a deal without his approval. I was clear that I had my own financing and cash but Marco kept trying to push financing on me with high interest rates (6% & 5%) and extra financing fees even though I have excellent credit and my bank didn't have those additional fees and my interest rate was 3.89 from my bank. Before they ran my credit I asked what the lowest credit rate they offered was to see if it was worth dinging my credit to see if they could beat my bank. Chris told me 3-4%. I don't believe that was true as they came back with 6% and then 5% (again even though I told them I didn't need financing they kept bring me finance numbers). They also tried to deceive me with several other things. For example the mandatory Lojack add on that they put on all their cars will "pays for itself" (not true, with Geico it only saves you $8 a year in only NYC and CA and doesn't work nationwide and the car already had an anti theft system which also gives you a discount). There was also a charge for $300 that would allow me to return the car within 48 hours if "anything happened to it or I didn't like it." I declined that and said "I'm pretty sure you can't sell me a lemon." Marco said the lemon law only applies to new cars. Not true! California Civil Code Sections 1790-1797 makes this very clear. I never saw the final contract so unless they put that the car is being sold "as is" or "with all faults" to try and get around this law and deceive you, the lemon law does apply to used cars. Marco added on a warranty and when I tried to negotiate the final price Marco said that was the best deal. I went to leave but then he said he would rework the cost and come down. Marco actually just removed the warranty, even though I had said I wanted the warranty, and lowered the cost of the lojack and mandatory paint package slightly ($200) making it look like I was saving a few thousand. When I noticed it was gone he changed the pitch to "oh actually you don't need the warranty the car still had an active warranty and when that is done in 2 years I'll give you a deal on a new warranty." I put down money for them to hold the car (I needed to measure my garage) and when I came home and did more research I saw many reviews about the shadiness. I reviewed the final list of charges and discovered they were trying to charge hidden fees that were not disclosed in the web advertisements including document fee, smog fee, electronic reg fee (this is actually a dealer fee and has nothing to do with registration) and a clean pro package which violates the Vehicle Code Section 11713.1 law which requires dealers to specifically disclose these things in the ad if they aren't included in the list price. When I called my bank to make the wire transfer the gentleman at the bank asked why I wasn't using my credit card because I got cash back and could immediately pay it off with the cash without fees. I told him I wanted to but the dealership told me there was a $4500 limit. He informed me that it wasn't true and they could make an exception and that he often talks to customers who do this and to ask for an exception. They would not make an exception. I felt like I was being taken advantage of and when I voiced my concerns to Marco I was passed around to several people including a "manager" named Caesar (but on the website he is just an "Internet Sales Consultant") and Eddie (also a "manager") who isn't listed on the site. I voiced my concerns to Eddie and then he refused to sell me the car. Didn't even try to make any of it right. Chris called me a few hours later to ask me why I hadn't come to pick up the car. He was very concerned with my experience and said what happened wasn't right. I let him know about the lojack insurance discrepancy so hopefully he won't make that mistake again. He said he was going to talk to the COO the next day about what happened, asked if I still wanted the car and said he would call me back. That was 5 days ago and I never heard from him. These guys will take advantage of you if you let them. The whole team is in on it. I'm sad that I couldn't buy the car, I really loved it. I thought they would address my concerns and make it better. I flat out told Eddie I still wanted to buy the car and fixing the pricing issues would have made me happy but he refused. In the end its better that I didn't give them my money. Watch out for these guys. Educate yourself. READ the contract. read more

I was helped by Chris here at auto republic, and made the whole process simple and haggle free. I asked for a price and was not charged unreasonable recon fees/etc.. like other dealers were. read more

This dealership is truly awful. Cars in significantly worse shape than advertised, management unwilling to follow through with offers, and the staff are the epitome of used cars salesmen. read more

i just bought a porsche cayenne from marco great experience .. they have really nice inventory i would definetly come back and refer my family and friends very pleased ... read more

This is an extremely unprofessional dealership. I emailed them three times with a request for information on a vehicle they had on the lot. The only response I got back was an automated statement saying that somebody would be contacting me shortly. That never happened and approximately one week later the car was sold. I never got a single response back from them. Downright brutal. read more

I just bought a BMW X5 from Auto Republic and it wasn't a 1 day go in, shop and buy kinda movement. I saw this beautiful deep dark blue BMW. I css as led and talked to Marco( sale guy) He was not pushy almost very quiet and very very laid back but he answered a few questions then we went in a test drive. I left and he didn't pressure me to buy it, he just asked if I was interested in the car. I left and said I would come back tomorrow however I never did, b/c I wanted to keep looking " just" in case I found another BMW I liked better. He did txt me on a few occasions to check in and see if I might be interested in the car. I took another 3 wks before I came back and Marco was more attentive by having a better attitude about his service approach. I ended up buying the BMW and as promised he had paperwork ALL ready to go because it took way to long the first time and I didn't want to wait 3 -4 plus hours to finish paperwork. ( I had already got an approval from my credit union and the dealership has a relationship with them so there is a system with all necessary info completed before I came back sign the final paperwork. ( took 45/60 mins to complete!) The finance guy who went thru all the paperwork was Super Nice and helpful with all the details!! So just be sure to ask for what you need and they will accommodate as much as they can in the paperwork part. Car was clean, charged up and ready to go. read more

These guys are jokers! Very unprofessional. I Did the online app and they ran my credit and called me to say everything was good I asked them about finance rates and lender approval which Fernando gave me. All I needed to do was drive down to Orange from Murrieta, give my 4K down payment, sign and drive off. Keep in mind that I had been communicating with Fernando for 2 days and he already has my paystubs, bill to verify residence and drivers license. I'm about 5 miles away from the dealership, and Fernando calls to let me know the bank is putting the loan on hold and that he would call as soon as he heard back. Funny, I thought everything was good to go from what Fernando had stated. I let him know to not bother and would rather not do business with him. Four hours later I get multiple songs on my credit report from this dealership. What a douche. read more

I am a first time buyer.

So this company has a truck on their lot that has been there for 4 months.. They have moved it to 4 different locations of theirs. I asked a sales rep if they would like to make a sale today or let the truck sit there for 4 more months... He said that they are not willing to make a sale for a reasonable price.. All their truck prices are 10,000 higher than blue book values.. They are willing to let a vehicle sit on the lot for 4 more months than actually make a sale.. Sales rep was completely rude and non professiona... What a horrible experience I ha, I would never but a vehicle from this dealership and I suggest you don't either.... read more

Went in with my boyfriend to purchase the 2016 Camaro 2ss after two days of having the car the engine blew and started making a knocking noise. Checked the engine to find out there was no oil in the car and the dip stick being bone dry. When calling the dealership to tell them what happen they told us to just add oil and take it back to get checked out but nothing would be done until Monday (which it was a Saturday). We drove down with out the car and talked to one of the managers Ram, after an hour of being there we finally were able to get in writing that they would get the car towed to their dealer to get checked out to see if the deal was able to be canceled. I'm the mean time we had three mechanics look at the car which all has said there was engine damage due to the lack of oil. Once the tow truck driver came he had admitted that the car had sounded "pretty messed up". We proceeded to tell two managers to not work on the car at all without us approving. Later got a call from Ram saying "good news there's nothing wrong with the engine it's a faulty fuel injector" and that there had been oil. We showed up once again to show them our mechanic papers and see what the real issue with the car was. After walking in and asking to speak to Ram he began by saying that there was oil in the car and he wasn't sure how we had seen there was none. We wanted to talk about canceling the deal since we've had 3 mechanics tell us the same thing but the denied canceling it due to it "still being drivable". He called one of the higher manager, Harold, who had seemed surprised about the whole situation as if he was unaware it was even an issue. As we were talking about the car the story kept changing to the oil being full to "maybe there's only a little bit of oil and maybe we had wiped the dip stick" which he then ended up saying he has no idea what's going on with the car that he's only been in the office. We asked to see the car and Harold had told us the shop was closed and there were no mechanics on site, after a couple mins we had asked again and Ram mentioned that he could take us back to see and to our surprise there was a mechanic there and the car has been taken part already. My boyfriend began to pull the dip stick out to see there being oil then began wiping the dip stick clean with his shirt and took a picture to show the comparison of our first picture and the one we took in-front of them. The next day Harold had said they were going to fix the car no matter what which we responded with sending the video of the engine knocking which he had refused to see the day prior. He then finally agreed to cancel the deal and give us our money and traded car back. read more

I've been looking for a very specific used truck and they're pretty hard to find right now. It's a Ford F-350 and I found it on Autotrader last night. I sent an inquiry to Auto Republic and Chris called me first thing this morning. We made arrangements to meet him this afternoon to see and test drive the truck. Chris was fantastic. He had the truck ready for us when we arrived. We immediately took it out for a drive. We decided to buy. Chris pushes the paperwork through very quickly. From arrival to driving away with the truck was less than two hours. Auto Republic was great. Chris was fantastic. I highly recommend this dealership and Chris! read more
