We bought a used 2008 Chevy Colorado Pickup Truck from Corona Auto Wholesale and was very happy and pleased with the experience! I called the dealership to get information about the vehicle when the Ads just came out without much info and photo. Robert took the call and was very professional. He provided all of the info we need over the phone. The day we came for a test drive and met with Robert, he was professional, friendly, and pleasant to work with. I was expecting pushy used car salesman but found Robert to be the opposite. He let me check out the vehicle and even did a test drive on my own without him on the drive which was a bonus and unexpected. I finally negotiated a price and came to agreeable number without much haggling which was something I was not expecting. Another surprise was a free detailing job on the vehicle which even provided more value on the purchase. Robert was always cheerful and helpful in providing any additional information I need over phone or text. He's very responsive. Robert was trustworthy and honest. He delivered what was promised. When it's time to come pick the vehicle up and do the final paperwork, Mark, the owner/manager was the same, very professional, friendly, and helpful. He was very accommodating in helping us addressing a loose battery concern on the spot. The entire paperwork process took less than an hour and we were out of there in about an hour on a Sunday morning. Again, we thank Corona Auto Wholesale for the excellent and professional sale service. Keep up the good work! And we highly recommend this dealership to anyone in the market of a used vehicle. It is hard to find honest, professional, and non pushy used car dealership these days and Corona Auto Wholesale is one of them. read more

Very disappointed with my experience purchasing a 2011 Mazda 3 from this dealership. Shortly after buying the car, I started dealing with a check engine light and code P2004 issues. It has been stressful and frustrating having to deal with repairs so soon after purchasing the vehicle. I understand used cars are sold as-is, but I expected the car to be inspected more carefully before being sold. read more

We purchased a car from this dealership. 52 days later, the car went up in flames. We are infuriated about the situation and the lack of a call back from the car company. We will NEVER buy from these people again. Be careful on the cars you purchase from here. read more

Watch out for these two. They reel you in with the father/daughter act. You get to thinking that maybe they are an honest car dealership. DON'T BE FOOLED! These guys are crooked and not up front. They sold me a car that had a lot of issues and they knew it. They also told me I was getting the best warranty they offer and that warranty doesn't cover anything I need. I read what it is supposed to cover when I got the car but there are so many stipulations, it makes the warranty worthless. When I found out that there was a class-action lawsuit on the vehicle that they sold me and they did not disclose it, I tried to reach out to them and crickets. Horrible way to do business. I am now paying for a car that is sitting in my driveway while these two are still robbing people blind. Great business ethics. read more

They are a good dealer. A friend of mine recently bought a 2013 Kia Soul from them and it checked out fine. We got a price below market value and the mechanic we took it to inspected it and only found a couple minor imperfections. A center console piece and a trunk cover were the only thing we needed cosmetic and the steering system just needed a cheap coupler. These can be done and replaced for less than a few hundred books online and at a shop. Please keep in mind if you do buy a used car here (and generally speaking) you should either hookup an ODB2 reader or have a mechanic look at it just to be safe. You will always run this risk when you buy used cars because the seller cannot check for every possible issue. Additionally, the staff were friendly and willing to work with us a bit on price. I'd definitely buy from them in the future. read more

I saw a 2016 sentra on their web site. I called Mark and it's available. I rushed over there and we negotiated to 11,000. I'm putting 9000.00 cash deposit and finance 2000.00 My credit score is above 700. I'm not worried. Easy terms right? Well, how the freak did it come up to 26,000.00 I tossed and turned all night my wife and I. When I got a call from Mark, the car wouldn't pass smog, I was so happy. I rushed to another dealer. Same deal, same price, different car. Diamond auto knocked it down even more if I buy out for 9000.00 cash. Well I saved 17,000.00. Watch out for these cons out there. read more

Let me be clear. If you don't know about the mechanics of cars just pass this place by. I bought a truck here and noticed after a test drive that brakes needed to be replaced. They immediately sent their "mechanic"? out to get the pads and install them. I got half way home and realized the lug nuts they used on the wheels were not for my truck. Within 50 miles the front wheels started wobbling. I stopped and had to take it to a auto shop. $400 dollars later it was fixed. THEY DON'T HAVE A MECHANIC! They have a minimum wage go-for fixing things so they briefly work. At least until the check clears. Again if you do not understand at least basic car mechanics pass this place by. DANGER! read more

Bought my Ford Focus 2008 and got a GREAT deal from them, they are top notch, if i ever need a car they're the first I go to in corona

Buyer beware purchased a truck and with in the year the check engine light came on and it needs a new cat. I had a few minors things after taking possession of truck, even had the finance company call for me and then guy laughed and said he eaant going to do anything else for a truck that was from 2006. Had no warnings of catalytic converter going bad but maybe light was reset in order to sell it ? I wont be buying another vehicle from here. read more

Bought a lovely used car here from Mark & Bruce. It looked to be in great condition & was very clean. The test drive went well so we decided to purchase it. We had brought our own financing so the paperwork was very easy. We opted to not include a warranty which saved a few dollars off the purchase price, & drove off the lot in love with the car. Unfortunately when driving home that evening the check engine light came on. I called the guys back first thing the next morning & they told me to bring it back so they could take a look at it & repair whatever was wrong. I dropped it off later that day, & they had a mechanic check it out the very next day. Turns out coil & spark plugs were bad in 1 cylinder, so they replaced these at no cost to me. I'd recommend this dealership because they were very easy to deal with & showed some real class in dealing with my car post-sale. Thanks again guys! read more

Warning: Do NOT buy from this place. bought a 2010 Nissan titan that was a complete piece of junk. I am 10,000 upside down on it and only have driven it 2000 miles. cant even get rid of it because I don't want to screw somebody over the way I got screwed at Corona auto center. read more

My husband and I had a great, no pressure experience at this dealership. We had been to a number of dealerships that day looking at used vehicles and were surprised at how dirty the cars were at these places; if they weren't willing to clean the car to sell it, could I trust that they had done their due diligence on inspecting the vehicle?? I was so pleased when we got to Corona Auto Wholesale and found that the cars we super clean (inside and out). We worked with Bruce who had a comfortable, no pressure type sales approach and we were pleased to purchase our new (used) vehicle from him. There was a small glitch with the Bluetooth in the vehicle and the owner Mark was quick to to step in and fix the problem. All in all, a great experience. read more

We love our new car! Corona Wholesale got us a great deal and got my fiancee a great rate on his loan. I'll be bringing both of my oldest girls to buy cars here. read more

My daughter brought a car from this dealership it was quick and easy because she came with her own financing. The body of the car is nice and the test drive was nice. However two weeks after buying the car the brakes went out and we called the dealership and they had no one to look at the brakes so we got them fixed. 4 months later the turbo and motor mounts went out on the car and we had to get that fixed. 3 months after that the power steering pump and hoses went out. And she had to repair that also. Be careful when buying used cars because the car fax is only for what is reported to be have been fixed and just because there is nothing on the car fax doesn't mean it's not a lemon. My daughter is 21 and hard working and makes minimum wage and has unfortunately spent thousands into a 2013 Ford Edge that looked good but was dead in the inside and a test drive and washed sparkling engine wouldn't have shown the problems that were wrong with the car. Be careful buying cars from here as they don't help once you drive off but they have their money. Don't buy a car from here read more

Mark was great. He helped me get into a 4Runner I had my eye on. Great and professional guy who made the process simple, and on top of that gave me a great price. I highly recommend going here for your next car purchase. read more

I recommend that no one buy a truck or car from this place. I bought a truck last June from mark or Bruce. Those guys are LAIRS and never believe a word they say and the mechanic they take it to Is a piece of sh*t. They do no work on there cars or trucks. Shut this place down. read more

So unprofessional my fiancé and I came to look at a truck that we saw on their website, the owner said that he let someone borrow the truck to move some stuff and that it would be back sometime next week. Clearly he doesn't want to make a sale. You don't tell someone interested in a vehicle your selling that you let someone borrow it to move a few things. Very unprofessional. We will take our business else where. read more

They will bs you until warranty expires...they claim to have a mechanic shop, but it's just a garage stall...had a bad rear seal and they just put silicone...oil leak returned a few days later...called to let Bruce know...never returned call...I am happy overall with my purchase, but dont offer a warranty if you dont value it...my car door just opens while driving...brought it back for repair, they said they fixed it ...still pops open. Took it to dealer $685 to fix...I'm still under a worthless warranty. read more

Everyone please beware of this place!!!! They lie lie lie, I bought a Volvo from them and in 3 weeks the timing belt went out. The owner Mark said "that is the risk when you buy a used car" REALLY??? He promised many things and back tracked after. After reading all these reviews I see that this is his common practice. BEWARE DON'T BUY FROM HIM OR YOU WILL FOREVER REGRET IT!!! read more

I brought my daughter in there to Corona Auto Wholesale, 4 weeks ago and Mark worked with us and was so nice and make it happen we left with a great car and very happy a great place fair and will work with you Geri read more

Tried to buy a truck for my teenage son and they refused to help me with financing if I didn't give them a down payment. Didn't matter what my credit score was. They are crooks and wanted 16% interest rate!! read more

I bought a 09 Chevy dura max from them with extended warranty and a month later it's in the shop with problems!!!! $$$$ and the warranty company won't pay for it because it has a history of that problem! Seriously!??? It's a used truck the warranty should cover it no matter what if that part is listed. And as far as the car dealership I feel a little screwed over. Not happy. read more

Bought an 04 Colorado, very nice and he gave me a good deal! Needed an alignment but told him I would take care of it because it was a good deal! The same night the passager windows motor is dying, I called Monday and left a message, they said he would call me back, I called again today and talk to another guy and he said he may not help me because it's only 30 day warranty on the trans and motor but I thought he would help because I just bought it! So buyer beware because once they do business with you they will ignore you! Happy with the deal, unhappy with customer service! read more

I bought a truck from here back in March of 2015, to date with regular care and maintenance, the truck has performed flawlessly. I brought my buddy who is a retired Ford mechanic to look the truck over. We were helped by an older gentleman who was direct and not pushy. After the test drive, Bruce helped close the transaction, offering a reasonable interest rate, though I opted for a cash sale. After visiting almost every used car dealer in Norco and Corona I was relieved to deal with these gentlemen. Upfront, no pressure and gave us space to inspect the truck thoroughly. Remember folks you are buying a used product, do your homework, inspect the vehicle, ask questions. read more

I had to come on here and write a review,,, Bruce at corona whole sale helped me get me my car,, i have the worse credit, I applied at other dealers, either I got denied or they wanted a big amount of down payment, Bruce took a few days but he worked for me to get a loan, so needless to say he got me a loan, I got approved for my 2008 Honda accord which is by far the best car I have purchased, he was nice, respectful and very helpful,,, over all if your going to look for a dealer please try CORONA WHOLESALE first, read more

We have bought a car and truck from them. We loved both vehicles and had no problems. No nonsense. The price is the price, no pressure. I love these guys. Mark the owner and Bruce are great. I also recently sold a car to them when my father in law passed. They were VERY fair and easy to deal with. I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you for years of great service in Corona. read more

was looking into a tacoma and was pretty determined on taking it home, as soon as the old dude walked up to me he had this condescending attitude, he lit a cigarette in my face and was giving me short answers. went inside to run my credit and the other asshole in there was like well it's getting late maybe tomorrow, no serious dealer would turn down a sale, the old fuck was judging me as soon as i walked onto the lot, fuck this place read more

I've purchased two vehicles from this car dealership. Both times I bought them from Bruce. Both my vehicles, Honda Civic 2005 and Honda CRV 2006 were in good condition and never caused any problems. I totaled the Honda 2005, so I went back and bought the Honda CRV. Bruce is nice, informative and not pushy. I've recommended this dealership and Bruce to others. read more

Bought a 2006 Ford F-150 about a month and a half ago. Within that month and a half the alternator, battery, transmission, running rear lights, and dash lights have broke. Not to mention fluid levels in the truck were also very low. I have spent around $1,300 to repair everything already. When buying the truck I signed an insurance coverage for the transmission that I was told would be covered if it broke within 3 months or 3,000 miles. I was under both conditions when the transmission broke but the insurance company that the coverage is under will not pay the full amount I have to pay to get the transmission repaired. When going back to the dealership to ask them to pay the difference they have also refused to help out. If I could give this whole buying process 0 stars I would. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS USED CAR DEALERSHIP!! read more

First of all id leave no star if i could, for poor service. I was looking forward to purchasing a Nissan Titan from this place and had initially spoken to Bruce, right of the back he seemed racist and unprofessional towards me, the very few questions i had were not answered.I was interested in purchasing vehicle so i submitted the application but for some reason or another Bruce kept holding it off saying he had no answer yet so I called in multiple times trying to close a deal but he would brush me off with a "im still looking for a bank that will finance." I didnt know finding a finance company took a whole week but anyway i was determined to take this truck of the lot til yesterday when i had to call about 3 times just to get an answer in which he rudely said "you either give me $20,000 cash or find a co-signer," a cosigner which i had but he wouldn't let me finish without being an arrogant prick. If he wasn't planning on closing the deal he could have been straight forward and told me he simply didn't want to make business with me rather than have me waste my time. Bruce was very unprofessional and should not have any business in the sales industry as he is not personable. For this i will not give him my business and i suggest anyone who is looking to purchase from this dealer reconsider their options. At this point the truck doesnt even seem that attractive anymore. Ill be seeing it on the side of the lot every time i pass by there for another year or so!! read more

I bought a Corolla XRS from here about a month ago I commute about 70 miles one way for work and already put about 3,000 miles on it and so far it's a great car there were a couple issues with the car when I got it but nothing major and we worked a deal. I was pretty happy especially because I was able to get the car under Kelly Blue Book fair price for buying at dealerships. There was no pressure what so ever for buying. I had a good experience here overall and love the car. read more

The buying process was easy and Bruce was nice and explained DMV has been taking a long time to process paperwork for registration & plates & said when they come they'll mail to me. I'm extremely upset cause it's been 7 months and I still haven't received my license plate, I received my registration but not plates. I called and spoke to some lady who was nice and I explained situation she said she'll have Mark call me back. He did leave message saying I would have to contact DMV cause they submitted paper work and it's out his control. I contacted DMV and they said Dealer never ordered my plates. Again I contact dealer and left message with the lady and never received call back and today I called again and spoke to Mark and he said there's nothing he can do because once registration is submitted they can't get my plates anymore because my name is now on registration! I explained even though I paid you guys for them.. Mark said we'll your registration was $381 and you only paid $300 did you get a bill for it? Really that's the answer he gives me and now saying to I owe extra for my registration. He told me now I have to go down to DMV and pay for new plates. So now I got to go out my way to the DMV and pay for my plates myself! I had 3 people in my family he bought vehicles the within same month from different dealers and they received their plates within a month and didn't have any issues. I have bought 4 vehicles from different dealers before and have never had a situation like this. I will be looking into who I can make a complaint about this situation to cause it's unfair to customers. If your looking into purchasing any vehicle here I would make sure they'll be taking care of all your DMV paperwork and not leaving it up to you to do it even after they tell you they will. read more

I brought the car I was interested about to another local mechanic and came back to Bruce with the report. We both agreed that he would fix what's on the list for me except the tires. But after I bought the car, the dome light isn't fixed(which is also on the list), and I went back to see Bruce twice and each time he tried to fix it by himself but ended up not really fixed when I need the light on(I have to try hard to find the subtle position of the switch and the light went off soon sometimes). So I brought the car to a certain mechanic who Bruce is willing to listen to and trusts(though who indeed has bad review on Internet), and after a lengthy discussion between the 3 of us about who should pay for the fix without conclusion, this mechanic started to say to me things like I should know that I bought a used car.....etc. So be careful you walk out of Corona Auto Wholesale after you triple check the promise they made to u before you pay is 100% finished. read more

i bought a use car at Nissan corona last june until now I do not have my license plate we keep on following up the plate and they keep telling us we have wait now its 90 days since we have the car but they did nothing about it, so my husband call the DMV and they told my husband it should be with the car but its not,so my husband call the Nissan corona and they told him go apply at DMV and they re emburst us that's not our job that's their job to do that they are the one who's selling cars and we already paid for it, this dealership is irresponsible of their obligation they only wants to sell but not doing their job right...bad experience they even send us before a letter that said we did not approve but we already have the car that's stupid of them and they told us they want the car back so we took the car back and they told us we've been approve they just waist our time and gas going there. people before buying car in this company think a million times... read more
