I recently purchased a vehicle from AutoLink and my experience was beyond excellent. I visited this dealership two times before making the purchase. Each visit was professional and friendly. Lawrence is a genuine and transparent person. I told him my price point and exactly what vehicle I was looking for and he delivered flawlessly. I test drove the car during my second visit before finalizing my decision, no haggling no running circles around him or me. Smooth process. I have referred my family, friends, and colleagues to AutoLink. read more

I love my new car!! Thank you! The owner was very kind and the transaction went super smooth. It was my first time buying a car and im happy with my decision. read more

I had a very disappointing experience with Autolink San Diego. In my opinion, the business engages in false advertising and deceptive sales practices. The owner, Lawrence, assured me several different times that he had a specific vehicle I was looking for. Based on his repeated confirmations, I took the time to visit the dealership. When I arrived, he suddenly claimed that the vehicle had already been sold. However, the exact same vehicle remained listed for sale on his website, which raises serious concerns about the accuracy of their advertising and whether the vehicle was ever actually available. This type of bait-and-switch tactic wastes customers' time and undermines trust. Professional businesses should provide honest and transparent information, especially when customers are making significant purchasing decisions. Unfortunately, my experience with Lawrence was also very unprofessional, and I left feeling misled. I would strongly recommend that potential buyers verify availability carefully before visiting this dealership. read more

LOW pressure Lawrence gave us a great price and did not up charge us like other dealers. Very professional and got us the perfect Tesla to meet our needs. Unlike another who dealer wanted to charge for window tinting, clear coat, and interior coating(scotch guard). He also didn't ask us to buy an additional $3,400 Tesla extended warranty read more

I love Tony at Autolink San Leandro, I found him to be truthful and a man of his word. I bought 2 cars from him and totally recommend him to my family and friends. I think all the guys there are fine to do business with Peace read more

These people are bunch of crooks! My husband found them through a search engine, and ordered over $1100 worth of parts for my Nissan . We ordered a front bumper, heat shield, and installation parts, and a rear bumper and installation parts. Six weeks later, we have only received the front bumper - but no heat shield or installation parts, and No rear bumper or installation parts. We've made multiple phone calls, emails, and texts. We initially got the runaround of oh sorry our shipping company can't give us a tracking number. Now they simply don't take or return our calls or emails. So we are out over $1100, and need to buy more parts to try to repair my car. DO NOT put yourself through this horrible experience. Save your money and use a reputable dealer. read more

I purchased a 2021 Model Y from Autolink and traded them my 2020 Model 3. I found Lawrence to be a pleasant individual to work with, but unfortunately he concealed a serious issue with the vehicle. The car was completely infested with hundreds of COCKROACHES. To my disgust I only discovered this on the first night. When I approached the vehicle and the light turned on I saw several roaches race around the car. Lawrence had mentioned to me that there were ants in the vehicle when I noted a chemical smell during the test drive and told me that they had been taken care of. I have since not been able to use the vehicle and have had to hire a professional to take care of the problem. It will take three weeks for it to fully take effect, there are hundreds of dead roaches in the vehicle and throughout the internals. My wife is horrified and will not use the vehicle. I have basically lost a month of use and incurred a nightmare. read more

Ana and the dealer owner went above and beyond to make sure I was able to take the vehicle home the same day. Nice people. Very professional. No pushy sales tactics that you find at a franchise dealership. No pressure at all whatsoever from them. Would recommend. read more

Lawrence is the best! My father stopped driving due to his age and I needed to sell his mint condition civic. Lawrence provided me a quote to buy it without haggling and gave me close to what Kelley Blue Book quoted as its value. Lawrence is professional and kind. I would highly recommend him for anyone who is in the market to either buy or sell. He has high quality vehicles to fit everyone's budget. read more

We were on the hunt last year for a family SUV for a long time, went there couple of times but we were not ready to purchase yet and they were friendly and helpful each time. We finally went back in Jan to purchase a beautiful Toyota RAV4, Lawrence was extremely patient and honest, we felt very comfortable dealing with him and with Carla as well. She was very knowledgeable and eager to answer all our questions. We not only got a great car for a very reasonable price but also got great customer service. We can see a long lasting relationship with Autolink, we will definitely be coming back. read more

Kill joyVery upsetting.Carla and Lawrance know nothing about customer service or building their bussiness. I just payed cash for a vehicle . Before I made my final payment. I noticed the tires side walls were cut on 2 tires. On the online post you can visably see the cuts . He said it doesn't matter it's used.I asked for a small discount $80 so I can feel safe buying some used tires. Lawrance said absolutely not. I have family members that are in the market to buy and I was going to refer them . But I would absolutely not give them another penny. They really could care less about the joy of buying a care with hard earned money. Be very careful and their verbiage is very misleading. Do yourself a favor go somewhere that cares about customer happiness read more

I recently purchased a 2020 Nissan Frontier from Autolink. It was a salvage title so I was a bit nervous. Carla and Lawrence at Autolink we're awesome! Super friendly and super helpful. They were honest and upfront with me about everything. They allowed me to have my own 120 point inspection done on the vehicle for peace of mind. The truck ended up being in tip top shape so I was getting a great deal! After dealing with them I may never go back to a traditional dealership ever again. Awesome experience! Check them out and if you see one of their vehicles on Car Gurus do yourself a favor and go check it out. read more

Just got a used Lexus IS from here and it was a super easy/great experience. Usually car salespeople are really pushy and pressure you into buying but Carla and Lawrence were wonderful. It's a very small car used car dealership and all the cars are stored inside a big garage that probably houses around 10-12 vehicles. Their prices are insane!! You'll find cars here in almost perfect condition for $3,000+ under market price. My only complaint is that the car we got was pretty dirty inside. There was a lot of dog hair stuck to the sides where there was fabric material and the seats were a bit dirty. Nothing some good leather conditioner couldn't fix though. Thanks Carla and Lawrence!!! read more

Autolink - Car Dealers Near Me - San Diego, California

Misrepresented a car to have no current and historical issues. I bought a Toyota RAV4 2020 with 4k thinking I'm getting the greatest deal of my life but unfortunately a few weeks after sale I'm finding out that there was a reported drivability concern on the vehicle recorded after accessing Toyota application of historical services which the prior owner declined to repair. Then come to find out that the rear differential bracket broke off. Again this is after the sale of the car. I saw a repair invoice of replacing mount only. And an inspection 5 days later was done with no issues. Now, with less than 30k miles and having shuddering and screeching noises in my vehicle hoping that this issue is warranty approved, I'm being told by the Dealership as not being covered because of the records showing from historical records during 4k miles. My manufacturer warranty is now void and has been since date of sale because of misrepresentation of Autolink SD. Employees seemed to be trustworthy and honorable but this situation makes me think otherwise. A small company reseller that I thought would be a gold standard over dealerships has broken my trust and I wish you would do a better job than me in doing my research before doing business with this company. read more

Highly recommend Autolink for your used car buying needs! My daughter was in the market for a new used car - and we found a great vehicle at a very reasonable price here at Autolink. Lawrence & Carla we're both very helpful - it was a no pressure environment, yet Lawrence was very helpful and responsive when we had questions, etc. Once we decided to move forward, they were helpful with arrangements - she put down a deposit to hold the vehicle, and they had the paperwork ready to go when we got there - which Carla helped walk her through. Everything was super smooth! All of their cars seemed to be in really good condition too!! (She got a 2017 Toyota Corolla - clean title, great service records, etc...) Definitely check them out when you're ready for your next quality used car!! Thanks Lawrence and Carla!! read more

Amazing customer service and better pricing. Lawrence sold me my first car, Subaru Forester 2017 5 years ago, and now he is helping me find a Tacoma. They only deal with high quality, low milage cars and their quality is great. 100% trust this place. I will be a returning customer for as long as they exist!!! read more

Do not trust these people or their rip-off dealership! I just wasted most of a day trying to purchase a vehicle from the Autolink in Kearny Mesa (San Diego). Found a car online thru CarFax at the Autolink and immediately used the online email system to see if it was available. Carla contacted me later that day and said yes it was and would I like to make an appointment to see it? According to their website they do not allow walk-ins but work by appointment only. I contacted her back and said yes, I'd like to make an appointment for the next day and would she email me the drive away costs so I could bring sufficient funds to purchase it. She did and so I got back to her and said I should be there about 1pm the next day as I coming down from Orange County, the response was "Great, see you then!" So the next morning I got up, went to the bank, called a friend of mine to drive me from Huntington to the Amtrak station in Irvine, boarded the 11:41am to Old Town San Diego, arranged for a Lyft to meet me there and drive me to Kearny Mesa. BEFORE I left the house I called down to Autolink to confirm that I was on the way. I spoke with Lawrence who said he'd let Carla know and see me at 1pm. He explained how to find their suite and that he'd have the vehicle out front. I am on the train when I receive a phone call from Carla stating the car has been sold! "WHAT!" I said and she said "sometimes that's just how it goes." I explained to her all of the above that I'd gone through and her response was it's not her fault since I didn't put a deposit on it. I asked how was I to know that I needed to put a deposit on a vehicle I had an APPOINTMENT to see. She had no answer other than "well that's how it goes." I asked her, as the dealer why didn't you tell me I needed one? Once again, the inane response of "well that's how it goes." came over my phone. Great. I waited for the next stop, got off the train. Had to buy a full price ticket of course since my first one was one-way only. Contacted a family member who was able to meet me an hour later at Amtrak, Irvine and cart me home. Arrggg! So any one dealing with these people better beware because if they can, they will mess with you and when that happens, all I'll say is: "Well that's how it goes!" read more

I had a great experience here. I dealt almost exclusively with Carla. She was very efficient and knowledgeable. Lawrence was nice as well. I was provided with both a CarFax and an AutoCheck. I got a great price. I called more than a month later asking about my registration sticker and left a message, expecting for it to fall into the vacuum of lost voice mails. But nay! They called me back, explained what the hold-up was (DMV issue) and they mailed me what I needed when they said it would be here. read more

Get an AutoCheck report, not a CarFax report. This dealer uses a loop hole in the CarFax report to pass off damaged vehicles as "clean". CarFax only provides information on damage the DMV is aware of but doesn't report damage flagged at auction. When I went to trade in my vehicle, the dealer pulled up an AutoCheck report and low and behold the car I purchased from AutoLink had frame damage. **Update** Lawerence's modus operandi is to purchase vehicles that only have frame damage reported at auction to fool the would-be buyer. It is illegal to not disclose this information. If you bought a vehicle from Lawerence, get an AutoCheck report and find a lemon law attorney. read more

This was the most amazing car buying experience I've ever had. Easy and straight to the point. They are trying to shove the sale down your throat and give you space to look the car over and think about it. Lawrence was very kind and patient with me and my husband. Definitely will be back when I need another car. read more

Purchased a 2015 Honda Civic LX sedan from Lawrence over @ Autolink. After doing my research this was the best deal in town for this vehicle. Vehicle even had a warranty left on it. The advantages of going through a private dealer is saving money. Just do your research before. Car drives awesome. I'll be coming back o pickup a used car in the future when my daughter start driving in the next few years. read more

Lawrence was very friendly, easy going not your typical car salesman. I highly recommend using him, I actually located the vehicle on CarGurus and travelled to SD to purchase. The only reason for the 4 stars and not 5, was his availability, the process took 3 days, due to his limited availability. Besides that I wouldn't hesitate to do business with him again. Thanks for an easy buying experience. read more

Lawrence was a pleasure to work with, I enjoyed the car buying process from beginning to end. I never rate stuff on yelp, but I honestly think autolink deserves it. It was a very simple, straightforward process, and they had more or less the best prices in town(believe me, I looked extensively for months). Lawrence was very accommodating and I felt no pressure to buy at all. When we found out the pre purchase inspection cost more than he had expected, he even offered to pay for half of it. The car itself passed the PPI with no serious issues(just need to replace cabin filter, brake fluid, etc). I would highly recommend giving this dealership a try. read more

When me and my husband were looking for a used car, we really shopped around. Autolink is a pleasantly different experience than what you would get at a typical dealership. We faced no high pressure sales tactics. Both Carla and Lawrance were patient and showed us all the cars, without any pressure to sell the car, or the financing. We are both very savvy shoppers, so we really, I mean really looked within 75 miles radius to get the best deal. Autolink consistently had great prices on the makes and models we were interested in. I also had a very different experience than other reviewers that mentioned their availability issue. We were in a rush to get a car, and Carla was able to accommodate us on Christmas eve at around 2pm on a very short notice. I understand that they may not always have that kind of availability, but it definitely speaks for them trying to help you out and accommodate you if they can. Our purchase experience itself was smooth, although it looks like we bought the car someone else came in to see a mere few hours after us. The thing is, they do have great prices, so if you really, really want a car, you need to rush (get it held or something, not sure if they do that or how that works) or it might be sold. Then it makes sense to run your own carfax just to be sure, I would do it if I am buying any used car from any place. But overall, both Carla and Lawrence were pleasant to deal with, no hassle, got the car quickly, great condition (clean interior) and great price. Would go here again. read more

This was a really good car buying experience. We found a 2016 Lexus that we liked online, reached out to Lawrence and set an appointment. He was kind and gave us a good deal on the car and our trade in vehicle. We are very happy with the car. Overall it was a vey stress free experience and his garage was full of really nice quality vehicles. If you see something you like on his site, you should reach out, it's a class act establishment and the team there is very easy to work with. read more

I highly recommend Auto Link. Lawrence made the whole process of buying my car so easy and fast. He was really helpful, friendly and professional. My car, Toyota RAV4, is amazing and I got a great deal. It's a small store, but as I could see it, they had just good looking cars with low miles. read more

Wanted to write an excellent review for this dealership as it is a small independent one with great deals on their cars. I bought a Toyota Camry and it was a pleasant experience, seller provided carfax and vehicles are clean title and in excellent condition would recommend to my friends and family. read more

I wish I could select more than 5 stars. This was my first time buying a car, however I visited MANY dealerships to make sure I got the best deals. Autolink was a completely different experience from beginning to end. First and foremost no pressure or harassments, personalized attention, only high quality cars in excellent conditions and good prices. Lawrence is super patient and honest, he basically explained to me everything that I needed to know to buy a car, what should I look for and what not, and guided me towards the best option for me. He went above and beyond to make sure that I could leave satisfied, and I did, I got a 2016 Toyota Corolla and I love it. I would totally recommend this dealership!! read more

We are so thankful to have found Autolink. Lawrence was very helpful and caring when we bought a car from him. He helped guide us through different credit unions and made the whole process smooth. There are a lot of dealers out there that only want your money and don't care about your satisfaction. But he seemed like he actually cared. Lawrence even gave us a call a few weeks after our purchase to check in on how we liked our car. I would recommend him for all first time buyers. read more
