Clean low mile BMW!

I worked with Shaun Condry (Manager) and Paul Escorpeso for nearly 3 months regarding the purchase of a beautiful, clean, low miles BMW in their inventory. With my situation with credit, payoff of my current vehicle due to a total loss settlement, and being on Kauai, my hats goes off to this dealership and Shaun and Paul. It was a lot of moving pieces, and not a quick sell. It was quite a process, and I was impressed that they were willing to continue to engage with me, as most did not once they knew I was not buying a car right away. They were really good about not being pushy or transactional, and they took a more holistic approach towards dealing with my specific situation. What really has blown me away is they were able to get the financing I wanted with my credit union on Kauai, get the car shipped a lot quicker than quoted of over a month with Young Brothers, and the car is cherry! I just had it checked out; and it is a in excellent condition, mechanically and condition wise. I had no data or history service records on this vehicle, and none on Carfax, with this 2017 BMW. They assured me that it was well taken care of, and it was. It lt's a good car and solid investment, and I love this 430i! They also worked with me on the down payment and price of the vehicle. These guys sell a lot of cars every month which is impressive with al the choices on Oahu. they worked hard, they treated me fairly, and did not oversell or over promise. Sean is knowledgeable and easy to talk to, very approachable, and Paul: he's is a real Pro!! He has worked for the best dealerships on the island. I will trade in and buy my next car here someday, and was really impressed. I have been on Oahu for 20 years and glad I gave them chance to take care of my needs. Shaun is a great manager. Mahaloz from Kauai!

I came in to the dealership to check out an MB S550 that I saw on cars.com that they were selling. I was at first hesitant to even visit because of the low ratings AutoXchange was getting. Then John approached me and asked me what I was looking for, so I told him I just wanted to see the car they advertised. While this was happening, in front if their line was a 2015 CLS63 S AMG, a beautiful and powerful car, something that I never even thought about getting because I already drive a 2014 CLS 550. John goes to me and asked if I wanted to drive off with the car...I laughed. I have a credit of 670 ish, something I'm not proud of, but after 2 hours, Shaun told me that I was approved! Long and behold, not only did they buy my car $11k more than what BMW dealer was buying it for, but they also gave me a 4.9% interest rate! These guys are amazing! They will work with you however bad your credit is as long as you're patient. John, Shaun, and I started just laughing about my experiences with dealers. I am a veteran and so was John so we had something in common which was a plus for me. At the end of the day, I never imagined that looking to check a car will end up with me driving out with an AMG! I always wanted one but never could get approved for one. If you're military, I highly recommend John to handle your needs and Shaun to run your financial potential to get any car you want! Most of us hinder ourselves in getting what we want because we are afraid that it cost too much. Sure we don't need a fancy car, but it's about whether you want something and willing to go beyond to get it. I am glad I walked through those doors this afternoon and I am thankful for meeting two great individuals that works in the car business. Thanks for helping my wish become reality Shaun and John! Keep up the great work! I will definitely make sure to send some soldiers your way for great deals!

Context of what's wrong with the car.

Probably the worst headache I've dealt with ever buying a car from this dealership. Not only did they sale my fiancé a car that I later discovered the tires were balding. It's been problem after problem less than three weeks after getting the vehicle. They should not be allowed to conduct business anymore with standards like this. Selling death traps to people.

***DO NOT PURCHASE FROM AUTO X-CHANGE*** On April 1, 2023 I paid cash for a used 2011 BMW 535i for my teenage son from Auto X-Change, Inc under the promise that specific mechanical repairs would be resolved in the signed "We Owe". The repairs were to fix the head unit in the dash which was not working, fix a noise in the steering, and replace the hood struts so it would stay open when you pop the hood. The sale was on a Saturday so the service department was not open. The sales person (Sean Kohagura) and sales manager (Shaun Condry) assured me the repairs will be done ASAP the following week when the sales department was open. They would even give me a loaner while the repairs were done. Everything sounded great! The following week came and I had to reach out to Sean to ask about getting the repairs done (1st red flag). I dropped off the vehicle to the service guy (Dickson). They weren't able to fix it so Dickson gave me the car back that same day. He asked me to drop it off on Friday to take to the BMW dealership to have them fix it. Dropped it off and they gave me a loaner. By Thursday of the next week the loaner was leaking Coolant and running hot. (2nd red flag). We switched out the loaner and then the following week someone was interested in the loaner but my car was waiting on parts. So I got my car back and waited for the part to come in. During this time the AC in my vehicle went out which I want them to also look at because it worked when purchased. By this time, my sales person Sean had started having an attitude when I would check on the status of my vehicle when he was the one who told me I should follow up with him (3rd red flag). I asked for the Sales manager to call me and "Bobby" called me. Now I don't know Bobby's last name and he's not listed on their website. But he seemed reasonable and interested in trying to resolve things for me. So I finally get another call from Dickson that the part is in and I can drop my vehicle off. I dropped off my vehicle and after another two weeks and two loaner Dickson returns my vehicle saying the repairs were done. But when he brings me my vehicle the head unit was working but it was in Spanish and the only person who could reprogram it was not showing up for work. And they were still waiting on the part for the steering wheel. The AC was working but I was at ground zero with everything else. One day later the AC goes out again. So I call and text Bobby and now he's not returning my texts or calls. So I wrote a letter to the owner (Sen Ming Lin) and made a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. The owner turns out to now even live in the Hawaii or the United States. He has a friend (Earl Huang) who is helping looking after the dealership. He calls me and says a lot of the same things Bobby said to me originally in that he would get it everything taken care of for me. He explains to me that he knows exactly what they put in the car to make the AC work temporarily but it does not fix the AC. He says he ordered the head unit and when I bring it back in they will make all of the repairs at once. It has now been two months since I begin talking to Earl and literally nothing has happened. He said the head unit came in but they lost it somehow. I have since taken my vehicle to the BMW dealer who said the compressor and condenser on the AC has been out for a long time on this vehicle and it would be $5K to fix. In addition, the head unit is a used version from another country and cannot be reprogrammed. I would need to purchase and install a new one which would be another $2100. That's more 50% more than what I paid for the vehicle. So I called Earl and he said same thing. He would figure out what can be done to help resolve this issue. Yet nothing has been done. Ultimately, Auto X-Change sold me a car with major issues they were aware of and did not disclose, they lied on the "we owe" saying they would make repairs they never intended to work. They have been nothing but unprofessional this entire time I have had to deal with them. They are nothing but a bunch of scammers. Do not purchase any vehicles from them, they all have issues and they apply temporary band-aids so they are not noticeable for the test drive and any inspection you may do when purchasing. They did not even register my vehicle correctly as the license plate on it did not match the registration. I had to go to the DMV to get it registered myself. DO NOT PURCHASE FROM AUTO X-CHANGE.

He made my experience an exciting and memorable one I definitely am very happy with my new Mercedes Benz and would recommend anyone to buy a car through Shaun and Auto exchange, Thank you for the experience and beautiful vehicle, mahalo :)

I've owned my previous vehicle for 15-years, and have been shopping around for almost 6-months. Well, needless to say that I'm picky with purchasing big things and need to feel like I'm putting my money to good use. I went to all the big dealerships on the island, and felt like I was getting the salesman pitch and pressure to buy from everywhere I went. The guys at Auto X-Change felt different, they were patient, very easy going, and never made me feel like I had to make a decision fast. They are super professional but can make you feel like your talking to a friend about a new car. After 6 months of looking I test drove with Auto X-Change, felt the good vibes from Shawn the sales rep and Shaun the Finance Manager and knew I had to get this car. They worked with my bank to get all the documents together. It was easy & no pressure. They even detailed the car for me! Auto X-Change is professional, friendly and no hassle. I highly recommend them.

Mannnn this is the best experience I have EVER had purchasing a car. Sean was absolutely AMAZING and he sold me my dream car BMW X6 Sdrive 35i. I love it so much and I got it almost $10k below retail value ! The process was pretty quick and I was out the door in no time ! If you are looking for a car , ask for Sean and tell him Myia send you !

Dream come true

My mom has dementia, although Jay wasn't aware of that. Even so, he took the time to explain everything thoroughly, patiently walking us through every step of the process and making sure we understood everything. What could have been a stressful experience turned out to be smooth, comfortable, and completely pressure-free. Jay gave us a fair and honest offer, and we truly appreciated his professionalism, kindness, and genuine care throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Jay and his team to anyone looking to sell their vehicle. The office was also very clean and welcoming, and they even offered us hot or cold beverages while we waited. Thank you, Jay, for making this such a positive experience!

This review is regarding the experience I had with Neue Auto last week, when I brought in my car to…read moreget the key warning light checked out. The key warning light had come on in my dashboard a little over a week ago and has stayed on ever since. After doing some initial research on the internet about what it could be, I began to get concerned that it could potentially be a safety issue later on. All the worrying prompted me to send an inquiry out via Yelp, and Neue Auto was the first to respond, saying they're able to take a look at it. They were up front with their diagnostic fee and had an appointment time available the following morning. I brought the car in the next day, and Alvin (their service advisor) checked me in. I explained what was going, and he said they would run the diagnostics and see if they can figure out what the root cause might be. They offered a courtesy one-way Uber ride to get to where I needed to go, so I didn't have to wait at the shop, which was very much appreciated. After the shop ran all the tests, the results came back inconclusive (i.e., test findings indicated no error codes that could be causing the key warning light to turn on). Alvin took the care and time to explain everything they did, in great detail. Alvin was very transparent and provided his professional inputs regarding the situation. He recommended to just keep monitoring the situation, since no error codes were showing, which were related to the key warning light. He said, at this time it's too early to say what exactly is going on, as other symptoms would need to present themselves in order to figure out a precise fix -- and this is regardless of whether it is getting serviced at Neue Auto or some place else. Given that they couldn't find anything wrong, they waived my diagnostic fee, for which I'm extremely grateful. Even though the diagnostic findings didn't reveal anything, I am appreciative for the time and efforts that Neue Auto put in to investigate the issue. At least I have a little more peace of mind now, knowing the vehicle is still safe to operate (even with the key warning light on) and that it won't suddenly die out on me while I am driving it. Thankful for the reassurances that Alvin gave me regarding my concerns. Mahalo again to the team at Neue Auto for their help and in-depth assessment! Pros: complimentary one-way Uber ride, honest and informative feedback Cons: only open Mon-Fri, and the shop location is tricky (i.e., tucked in at the end of a narrow alleyway, so coming and going might be challenging, especially when it's busy and full of cars, as the tight thoroughfare is shared with a couple of other auto shops)

Neue Auto is a rip off and I'm still so pissed off about this that I finally decided to post it…read more This incident actually occurred in 2023 when I had a Kia Forte, which I no longer have because the repairs that they charged me over $800 for were not effective. On top of that, they would not let me take my car home that Friday (because I worked weekends) or they were gonna charge me an additional $150 to RE-assess my vehicle AGAIN that Monday. So in addition to the $847.80 that they charged me I had to rent a car which costed me an additional hundred something dollars. My car kept dying as I was driving, and I had previously had a AAA read out that said that my alternator was fine. Neue Auto insisted that it was the alternator and the serpentine belt that needed to be replaced and guaranteed their work. I authorized them to do the work because they insisted they were the professionals, but this did not fix the problem. I attempted to remedy this with the manager and instead of doing things in writing so I could have documentation he insisted on calling and trying to smooth talk his way out of the promises that his business made. Needless to say I had to replace the vehicle. The reason that I am saying that they're a rip off, is not only because the vehicle was still presenting the same problems, but also because this is what they sent me as "proof" that my alternator was not working. Please keep in mind they never actually gave me this receipt for the readout, and it's stapled to a bunch of other receipts that I have no idea what they are. To sum it up, avoid Neue A uto or risk unethical business practices that don't actually fix your vehicle but still take your money. I would've given them zero stars, but that's not possible. *** EDITED TO RESPOND ** Fast forward to now - Like I said, I'm still so pissed off that YOU - Nick, owner/manager promised that the alternator and serpentine belt would fix my vehicle and it didn't. And instead of fixing the problem, you talked around in circles acting like your business doesn't have any obligation to actually stand behind its work. And I am certainly NOT contacting you again because you're a creep who thinks that you can get away with unethical shady business practices because you are the "professional." I stand by my statements and recommended people stay far away from your business. Not because you rip EVERYONE off - but because you rip off at least some of us. And that's enough for me to let others know they could be next.
