    This is a good place for auto service. I scheduled an oil change and Tien was friendly and the service was at a good price. Thanks.

    Friendly and speedy service. It's a small business out back but it's worth a try. I know my Prius is in good hands here :)

    Today, I found a car that i really liked and almost bought it. The cars are decent and reasonably…read morepriced, salesman's a nice guy... But i wish they had better sales terms especially regarding the warranty and the return policy. I agree with the negative one-star review here. I asked francisco about that $500 restocking fee the negative yelp review was talking about, he did not deny the negative yelp review but gave me a vague and unclear answer about it and said "uhh, yes, you would have to pay that fee" and the he was also mentioning a "$150 cancellation fee" in case we want to return the car. Cancellation fee, for what? It's not like we're financing the car, we were going to pay in full. I usually am the type of buyer who would ask more questions until everything's clear and both sides understand each other, but just talking to him about the warranty and return policy made me realize it would be a waste of time if i try to clarify stuff because it's already bullshit from the beginning. So if he sells you a car that SEEMS AND LOOKS okay, if it breaks down the next day, it wont be a hassle free return or a full-refund due to all these fees that don't make sense. I ended up not buying the car that i liked from their dealership. Like i said, nice man, nice cars.. But lacks better sales terms.

    DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE of buying from Import Connections---like I did…read more I found a 15-year old car that I wanted and the price was $5,599. I gave a $2,000 downpayment and now----two years later---I realized that I purchased the car for $7,599 instead of $5,599---as my monthly car payments amounted to $170 a month for 36 months! DON'T BUY FROM IMPORT CONNECTIONS.....THEY RAN A SCAM!

    The Best!! Very trustworthy and honest!!…read moreI bought a 19 year old car and they sent me videos and pictures every time I asked them to and there were so many. They were always friendly and prompt. I arranged an independent mechanic to inspect the car and they delivered the car to the garage the same day I asked!! I received my car and she is Beautiful!! Thank you I will be back!!

    I drove from Arizona to purchase a 2016 Lexus GX and here's my thoughts…read more - The owner has a good eye for choosing what cars he sells at his dealership, each car I saw was in amazing condition. If you want to a very clean and well taken care of car he has hand picked it for his lot. I felt better about my purchase because the vehicle I selected had every service done at a Lexus dealer according to the carfax. - The test drive process was very easy, he made a copy of my drivers license and off I went with Felix the sales associate. Felix was very knowledgeable and professional. I was allowed to take my time but also test the power of the vehicle. - I opted to finance with the dealer and it was great , the owner fought for me over the phone to get the best rate with my 670 credit score. He finances with Ally bank the largest auto lender in the US. - I was allowed to do a pre inspection with an independent repair shop or service department before purchasing that was made clear to me. This is a no BS dealer and I appreciate that. Here's the advertised price add taxes, license & registration and thats it. Ive been researching and calling/visiting dealers for weeks and its always the same thing .Here's our advertised price plus window tinting, nitrogen for your tires, doc fees, multiple security features No thank you. Give this place a try I enjoyed the process and would buy here again.

    Crooked Mechanic/sales man. Be Careful. Ariel is a POS!…read more I came to get my rear shocks/Struts replaced. Ariel worked on my car and when I got my car back I noticed a squeak or tapping like sound coming from the rear. I paid no attention and thought maybe they need to be broken in. I paid over $2,000 and about 4 months later the sound got noticeably louder but only when I went over speed bumbs. I went back to his shop and said I still have this weird noise when I drive over speed bumps. Ariel asked if I had my recipe as he couldn't "FIND" a record of one in his system (sure buddy) . I didn't think I needed it, since we both knew he worked on my car at his shop. He said all warranties are voided since it was over a year. I should him that I called 9 months ago and that's how long ago he worked on my car. I told him if it's something else I'll pay for whatever else needs to be worked on. He said he would lift my car and check it out. 30 minutes later he said he didn't see nothing wrong with my vehicle and that his work is good (sure buddy). He said let me show you what the sound is. In his parking lot, not on the lift. He started kicking my exhaust very aggressively and (was talking to me very aggressively as well) said when u go over a bump that's what's making the noise. I said OKaaaaay, whatever bro and left since he was being very None professionally. I went on a trip to Solvang with my family in my car and started noticing my car didn't feel stable on the highway. I figured maybe I needed to get new tires, or change my brakes and rotors. I replaced all that and took a friend to Solvang as I had such a good time 2 months prior. My friend noticed the sound and how my car would feel unstable/shaky. Solvang is a 4 hour trip, which I did twice. I took my car to the dealership to check everything including my suspension since something hasn't felt right and the sound never went away. You will see in the pictures that ARIEL did not bolt my stabilizer bar and the sound came from it bouncing off my dual Exhaust Pipe. He knew that's where the sound came from cause he was kicking my exhaust to show me where it was coming from. I don't think he even put it on the lift. This guy is playing with people's lives. He buys cars, mickey mouse fixes them and resales them. DO NOT TRUST THIS SHISTY MECHANIC. The dealership put the bults in for free as they said this was very dangerous and at higher speed could of been bad. Especially, being rear wheel drive. They also said the Struts in the rear that World Motors worked on are starting to leak. I don't even think he put in new Struts. I gave every opportunity for Arial to find what was wrong with my car. I was cool and collective when he was being an azs and unprofessional. It took everything in me to not confront this peace of work after finding out what he did since I had my family in the car and felt my car fishtail a few times. He's lucky nothing happened. Ariel is lucky I don't tell Sebastian and Ursula.

    When you bring cars back in, that have to be repaired for some reason or another they'll partially…read morerepaired. They won't do really what it takes to do the job and I noticed that after I put my car in the shop that I purchased from them and had it checked out so be real careful going there that's all I can tell you when I recommend it

    Once of the best choices I have ever made was going here. I have taken some time to write this…read morebecause I did not want to write a review that was without merit or value. In other words I truly wanted this review to be full of truth of experience and worth. Couple of things I was worried about. Buying a Car off Holt. Lets be honest there are not a lot of things that I have known that are good to buy off Holt other than street tacos. Not exactly the place I would think I would have an amazing customer service experience with great people and great product. Steve, and the Team here is what I would call Magnificent. I was not exactly what you would call an easy sale. I was also a bit strangely organized financially because of my type of business so I proved to be a bit of a challenge for them. Calm and collected they were never worried. Only me. I left this place driving an excellent car with great milage and what I would call no buyer remorse. Mostly because of the experience which I thought would or could get salted over time but it has not. There were a few issues with my purchase that involved the navigation and control module. Steve assured me he would help me take care of it and another minor issue was that the lights are so fogged up they hardly look they are on. Once I get to a place where I can drop this car off I will have it handled but either way I can say this. There is reason why this organization is 5 Stars. They do everything right. They have the cars you are looking for and more importantly the attitude needed to make a good experience. In sales its about the CAN DO attitude. I was frustrated and felt a bit hopeless and they made me feel like I mattered. Steve Knows Sales and the Finance Guy not only knew finances but also computers. It feels good to be treated with respect. This is going to be the place my entire family and friends get their cars from. Here are the reasons. GREAT PEOPLE GREAT PRICES STAND MY THEIR SALES AFTER SALES AND AFTER SALES CARE WORK WITH YOU TO MAKE WHATEVER THEY CAN HAPPEN THEY GO THE EXTRA MILE. THEY WORK WITH BAD CREDIT / ISSUES WITH CREDIT THEY WILL DO WHAT IS IN THEIR POWER TO MAKE THINGS WORK I won't share what Steve did for me as I closed the sale with him and took my new used car home but it was very kind and I think he does it for alot of people. A Little bit counts and goes a long way. I am thankful and grateful for LA COSTA Sales and look forward to more reviews and my family buys their next cars here. There is NOTHING and I do mean nothing that could have done better. Excellent work guys. Sorry for the delay but I really wanted this review to be full of truth, reflection and longevity. CONS: Holt Ave is not somewhere you want to be late at night. CONS: A Little Stuffy in the Sales Room CONS: Issues with Car / PRO - Not an issue for a team of people who want your experience to be a good one. They know what to do, how to do it and where to go if anything does come up. Used Cars are not exactly iron clad anything can happen but they seem to have most of the things you need covered or can handle any minor issues you need to take care of or the direction to point you to. 30 Years + Years of Business and Integrity and Experience makes this place a no brainer to shop for your next used car. If you are going to buy a used car and have no choice the good part is the choice of where to buy it has already been made up. Reviews like this for a car dealership like this is unheard of. Truly A Diamond in the Rough. BUY YOUR CAR here!

    I have very early childhood memories of La Costa Auto Sales. My parents might have been coming…read morehere, even before I came along into this world. The 2 Lacosta brothers running this business are the most honest and trustworthy salesmen you can find in the area. They specialize in affordable used cars! Come here to buy, sell or trade! My family has been coming here since our struggling origins. When I say struggles, I mean, we were a ONE CAR household. My dad would drop my mom off at work in the mornings and either he or my aunt would pick my mom up from work. We had a humble living and even with one car, we couldn't afford anything too new. The La Costa brothers were there to provide their automotive knowledge and extremely reliable recommendations. The cars we purchased from them throughout the years had no headaches. When it was time to afford to budget a second car into our household, it was legendary. We felt extremely blessed and fulfilled to have what others would imagine to be basic necessities. La Costa Auto Sales was a major factor in making that transition possible for their reasonable rates and reliability. I will always always feel grateful that they were able to be there for us during tough times. Pass forward to the present, we are blessed to afford to buy newer cars from the Honda dealership, but that leaves us with an "old" car on hand. Honda offered quite an insulting value, and my dad immediately said No thank you! We knew selling it to La Costa Auto Sales would be an honest amount, whatever the offer would be. We saw Steve, and he did a thorough inspection and pulled up the car's official reports, and gave us his professional opinion. We knew it wouldn't be much, but we definitely trusted and appreciated any "value". That car has been good to our family for two decades, and it was really hard to let go. We trust that it will be good to its' new owner, and still keep the car in our prayers. As a family who has bought, traded and sold cars with La Costa Auto Sales for nearly three decades, I can in all honestly give them the ultimate seal of approval. When we have relatives or friends who are just starting out, need a used car for a beginning driver, or looking for a reliable used car, we would always direct them here and trust that a positive transaction would take place for both parties.
