The team there was professional and easy to work with- especially Sam. He was patient, punctual, listened to what I needed, helped me with financing, and walked me through the whole process. What stood out the most was that he personally took the Jeep to a dealership for an inspection that I requested. It showed me that they really stand behind their cars. The Jeep was in good shape (as advertised) and I absolutely love my new car. I'd definitely recommend Carco of Poway to friends, family, or anyone in the market for a solid used car. If you go, definitely ask for Sam. read more

Sam was so great! Really listened to what was important to me in my car buying experience. He assured and reassured me multiple times and was incredibly transparent. I had a great time and found the vehicle that hit all of my boxes. I searched high and low in east county and could not find the right vehicle until I went to carco poway. Highly recommend! read more

I called the place asking about a toyota and Darius picked up. He was super helpful and kind.

I was told this car was in immaculate condition when I bought it, I will also take blame for not opening my eyes and seeing ALL the things wrong with this car. The driver side headlight is full of condensation and only partially works that is a $800 repair I saw this when I got it (what a dumbass I was), after having my body shop look into the car deeper he also discovered that the front bumper had been repainted and possibly repaired and the back bumper was taken off and or replaced , it's loose and I need to pay more to reinstall ,the back windshield is completely scratched at the bottom , more money out the door & the fog lights are not turning on . I cant wait for my mechanic to get to it ...... I wish this was disclosed to me especially when I asked why it had been on their lot for so long . Kind of pissed off and I will not be referring anyone. I do not need a "sorry you experienced this" bullshit response , I hoped I found a honest car place and I didn't . I am speaking to my attorneys about returning this car . lesson learned. read more

I bought my 2018 Ford Fusion Hybrid from Freddy at Carco! We immediately bonded over being Poway kids and having grown up here/attended all the same schools. Overall Freddy was an excellent help, he stayed late to make sure we drove off the lot same day even though our appointment was later in the day. Very accommodating 5 stars read more

Carco of Poway - Me with my 2018 Ford Fusion Hybrid - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Poway, California

FREDDY!! This guy is the man. Thank you SO much for making this deal happen. My wife and I sold our BMW i3 and we needed a new / used car. I knew what I wanted. A Volvo V60 with the 2.0T. I wanted white, premium and for it to be CLEAN. I looked all over San Diego. Now typically, I try to avoid dealerships with their hidden fees and cost markups. But, this really nice white V60 showed up on Facebook. It was at Carco in Poway so I figured I'd go check it out. It was priced right. We took it for a drive and it was THE one. We worked out the price and within 30 minutes we were driving the car home. Freddy is a top notch guy. He will take care of you no matter what. Tell him what you want and he's the guy to get it done. I will 100% work with him again and wouldn't hesitate that I am getting a good car at a good deal. Thank you Freddy for helping out my family, see you around! read more

Having worked for a dealership in the past, I can not tell you how easy it was to purchase a vehicle from CarCo of Poway. I have purchased/financed vehicles from a Big Name Dealership to a few Mom & Pops Dealerships. Freddy and Jimmy were super friendly, personable and professional all at the same time. They remembered my name, my sons names and any details I shared about them. A special Thank you to both Freddy & Jimmy it felt more like getting a car from family than a business.

We would like to recommend Carco of Poway for your next car shopping. Jimmy and Fredy gave us an outstanding customer service. We have purchased so many cars in the past and every experience is long and some times literally painful (not eating trying to close a deal). Fredy was friendly and resourceful and Jimmy was able to give us the best payment possible. We love the new car (Audi A3 e-tron) and we will be coming back in the future. Me gustaria recomendar Carco de Poway en tu próxima búsqueda de carro. Jimmy y Fredy nos dieron un servicio incomparable. Emos comprado carros anteriormente y cada experiencia a sido larga y en muchas veces literalmente dolorosa (falta de comida por tratar de cerrar un trato). Fredy fue muy servicial y Jimmy pudo darnos el mejor pago disponible. Nos encanto el carro que compramos (Audi A3 e-tron) y regresaremos en un futuro a tratar de encontrar un carro con ellos primero. read more

Jimmy and Freddy are absolutely amazing! My family came in needing a commuter car and they gave us an amazing deal-- beyond what we expected. They were nice, funny, kind and accommodating to our young children, knowledgeable, etc! We were in and out quickly! During the paper signing they helped entertain our kids by letting them change the color of the sign outside which the kids loved! Definitely have earned our business in the future! read more

Was looking to buy my first car. Knew what I wanted and Jimmy hooked me up. He listened to what I was looking for and walked me through the process. He explained every step honestly and answered all my questions while giving his best input. It was a great experience overall. They really take care of the customer here. Highly recommend to people.

I bought a car from them. The first week driving it, I find out the car had multiple mechanical problems and a blown up sound system. Isn't that just great? These are the things you want to know before buying a car... read more

Carco of Poway - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Poway, California

Worse experience buying a car. My fiancé went when he got off work to look at a Subaru Forster. He really liked it and it was a good price so he put down some money (500 out of the 5000 he was putting down). When he got home he realized they added GAP insurance and a warranty which were almost 4K extra. When I went with him the next day to give them the other 4500 they did not want to take off either warranty and even told us "he already bought the car and had video of his driving it off the property that legitimates the sale of the car". Jimmy refused to let us cancel the sale when I looked up the law and we have 72 hours to cancel. After going back and forth with jimmy and his main boss at there Other location they took off the warranty and had us write a HAND WRITTEN agreement about canceling it. They told us it would take 90 days to cancel. Jimmy kept emphasizing how he wanted to us write him a good review...we were unhappy, did I mention I was 6 months prego? He kept asking if we were happy now that he was agreeing to cancel the warranty. He even took a picture of us infront of the car..... This is the where the horror story really starts.... When we left and went somewhere-when we unlocked the car to get back in, we found out -THE ALARM GOES OFF UNTIL THE ENGINE IS STARTED. Both keys were also not programmed to the car to unlock the car-so we could only unlock it manually while the alarm was going off...we had to pay for this to be fixed as they refused bc we "cancelled the warranty" -THE AC WAS ALSO BROKEN which we had to pay for to be fixed bc it did not get cold -THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER was cracked which we also had to pay for... And when we contacted them about the refund for the warranty 90 days later-the bank told us the warranty was VOIDED and when my fiancé called about why the money had not been sent out..they said "oh we don't have the address for the bank"....which we financed through them with there bank!!! My fiancé had to provide the address. This was a terrible experience-I still can't believe they morally sold a car with this many problems to a pregnant women, BEWARE read more

Carco and it's employees are truly amazing! Hassan and Freddy are hands down the best people I have ever worked with in any kind of deal. Buying a car is a huge decision and they make it so easy and stress free! They have a fantastic inventory and they are also very knowledgeable about their vehicles. They also have amazing financing, and find the best rate for the customers, Hassan really cares about giving you a good deal. Would definitely recommend anybody that needs a good and reliable car to this place! read more

I bought a minivan from Carco Poway in July 2022. The gentlemen at the lot were lovely to deal with and they are the reason for 2 stars instead of one. I paid cash and drove away happy and was told my registration and title should arrive within 2 months. Fast forward 6 months and I still don't have my registration and title so I'm driving around with expired tags and little proof I own the vehicle, the window sticker has long since faded. Fast forward another 5 months and hours of phone call's getting bounced around all over Carco's offices I finally get told I can pick up my tags in the Chula Vista office. I pick up the tags and am told the title should arrive in weeks and by the way it was all DMV's fault (I don't believe that at all especially since they kept repeating that it was DMV's fault). Fast forward another 3 months and a family member gets pulled over and is told the license plate shows no information and by sheer luck they didn't impound the car. So off I go to the local DMV to find out what's happening and to apply for a duplicate title. Turns out the title transfer never happened and I suspect DMV wants to know how I have a registration in my name but no title and they have no record of my registration. I'm now awaiting a call from DMV to discuss the situation. I suspect someone did something shady to get me a registration hoping I would go away. read more

Great experience with Freddy and Jimmy. Took great care of wife and daughter as we were buying her first car. Answered all of their questions and mine even though I was out of town. Got a great car off the lot and even better sales experience. If you're looking for a used car give Carco a shot. read more

James was a great salesman and very helpful! I came in with 0 down and no idea what I wanted and he helped me leave with a new vehicle the same day! HE DESERVES A RAISE! read more

I saw a G Wagon and wanted to test drive it. My daughter was driving her 2018 Toyota Corolla. We had just hiked so we were wearing gym clothes. (Lulu Lemon) the salesman Stared my daughter up and down and then Stated "Well I will need to check your credit!" I really didn't have that much time I just wanted to see if it was a smooth ride. So I asked if he could just drive us as passengers. Then he looked me in my eyes and said "Do you know how much those cars cost?" We left! It was clear that he assumed since our skin is not white that we were ignorant and had bad credit. Fun facts- The G Wagon was 10 years old and had almost 200,000 miles. My daughter just graduated a semester early from SDSU, double Major, Cum Laude and I have an 800 credit score! read more
