This is a great program. Used it at my Subaru dealer and the 15% discount really helped towards the cost of my repairs.

The experience of leasing our new EV through the Costco Auto Program was EXCELLENT from start to finish! The program was so easy to use that it was almost effortless and the Costco Member-only savings were substantial! Additionally, our sales professional, Greg Locastro, at BMW of Fairfield (CA) could not have been better. He was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. I highly recommend the Costco Auto Program and for anyone in the northern CA area seeking a BMW, I also highly recommend working with Greg Locastro. Here's a little more about our experience. I submitted our request to the Costco Auto Program mid-afternoon on September 29, literally just a little more than 24 hours in advance of the EV Incentive expiration on September 30. I received the authorization from the Costco Auto Program within minutes of the request being submitted. From my first contact with Greg shortly thereafter, he went above and beyond to make it possible for my husband and I to secure the new EV we were looking for in time to take advantage of the incentive. Inventory was extremely limited with only one vehicle available in the model we wanted but it wasn't our preferred color or interior. Greg listened to what we were looking for and fortunately for us, although he had not yet seen the delivery, he was aware of an incoming vehicle that should have arrived to the dealership just that afternoon. With Greg's help, my husband and I were very pleased to drive home with the perfect EV and to have received the EV Incentive within an hour of the incentive expiration. Coupled with the Costco Auto Program member-only pricing, we got the car we were looking for at a great price. I sincerely appreciate all of Greg's efforts in making this an exceptional customer experience! read more

I used the Costco Auto Program to buy a car at Auburn Toyota. Very happy with the staff there; very professional and like "family". The day we picked up the car, the purchasing process was unlike any other I've had before. They spent hours with us; first test driving the car, then going over the car; safety features, and all the complicated functions with the displays, buttons, sensors. They took us to meet people in the Service and Parts department. The finance lady was patient and nice and went over more details (explained everything very well) and got us a huge discount on the extended warranty (actually $1000 below the Costco discounted rate). We went in there at 2pm and left with our new car at 8pm. I don't think it normally would take that long, but, we had fun and asked alot of questions. Our Sales guy is a very cool, happy, knowledgeable guy; so he's fun to be around. I'm sure the process could have been done in a fraction of that time, if necessary; but we didn't care; it was nice to spend the time learning about everything. The Costco Auto Program got us about $2600 off the price. The sales guy told me it was $250 below the Invoice cost. We are very happy with the Costco Auto Program. read more

I put information into the Costco Auto Program site and was quickly contacted by a dealership salesman. We exchanged texts, and, since I was about 50 miles away, asked if there were a number of the models I was looking for. Turns out, there were 2. The experience at the dealership was, in general, awful - and there was no Costco incentive in the price given. Not on Costco. I bought a car at a different dealership the same day. I received an email from Costco asking about my experience. Bad! I received a follow up (shopped/bought Saturday) email on Sunday asking me to call. I did - on hold for 5-10 minutes - left a message with my number. Never heard back. Returned email on Tuesday - never heard back. It seems they accept positive evaluations from people who purchase, but not reviews from those who don't. read more

Good auto program, thankfully, I was able to use it. Some dealers will not use it, stating that they have better deals than Costco is offering. read more

Great car buying experience. Saved as much or more than haggling without the back and forth. Do your research on the car you want. Know what you want and what you want to pay for it. In my case for the car I wanted it was perfect. read more

Jerry at Capitol Honda was very communicative and well attentive to my needs. He answered all my questions and ensured the whole process went smoothly. Would highly recommend! read more

We arrived at the dealership and someone was waiting for us and stayed with us through all the looking, questions and decisions we needed to make on our new truck, everyone at the dealership was friendly and professional, and appreciative of the Costco referral, we got the best price (I had researched dealer cost and had a good idea of what a good price would be), better than what I expected! So, all around one of the most pleasant, trouble free experiences we have ever had with purchasing an auto. read more

It saves you lots of negotiating and you know you are getting the right price because Costco is a trusted company. I am really happy with my most recent purchase and the other 2 in past years! read more

Great way to save on an expensive auto repair. It's not often you can save $150 simply by printing out the certificate. Thankfully the dealership told me about this but I wish o had known sooner. Maybe it could be promoted in the stores? read more

What a great program! Did you know that Costco has an auto program?! I didn't either until I learned about it from a fellow Yelp Elite. Thanks Alana! I got my car for about $5-6 K below invoice. This took all the haggling out of the closing process. It felt clean and good. You simply provide your contact info, the car you're interested in purchasing, and your Costco membership number. They put you in contact with a partnered dealership. The representative from said dealership in your neighborhood provides inventory information and the Costco member only pricing. It's really quite simple. Why wouldn't you go this route?! There's nothing to lose. There's some sort of synergy with Auto Nation, FYI. I don't know the ins and outs of it, but it had little impact on my dealings. My car was delivered straight off the line to the rail to the dealership practically, and I took possession of it with 6 miles on the car. If things remain status quo, I would be happy to use Costco Auto Program again in the future. read more

I used this service to buy a new EV Equinox and was happy with the dealer and the price. I appreciated that it wasn't a referral to only one dealer. It has been a while since I have purchased a new car, and I found the process to be more transparent than I previously experienced. However, I bought my last new vehicle through this program and (back in 2024) was really disgusted with the experience and the dealer I was sent to. So I can't give an endorsement to the Costco Auto Program. I had a better experience because I went to a better dealership. I got the discount offered and that was the only reason I used the Costco program again. read more

The website's design and functionality were quite disappointing. I conducted a targeted search for a specific item, only to be informed that it was unavailable in my area, with no further information on where it might be available. Moreover, immediately after submitting my inquiry, I began receiving numerous unsolicited emails and phone calls from auto dealers who did not even have the item in question. My experience with Costco Auto primarily resulted in a significant waste of my time and an influx of unwanted communication. UPDATE: Mr. Darren J. Responding lead me to think I may actually get support. Unfortunately he never provided me a means of sending him a direct message. Still wanting and needing assistance, I called the number on this listing who has never heard of Darren and was the exact same worthless support center I had the misfortune of contacting previously. Mr. Darren J. Thanks for wasting more of my time and proving once again that the Costco auto program at every level has zero concern for their customers. read more

No reason to ever use any other program, Costco stands behind their members 100%, making it easy to buy or lease a car. This is our 4th vehicle acquired though the Costco Auto Program and it is always smooth, hassle free and quick. Take advantage of your membership and save money, take the stress and anxiety out of a your car buying and know that you are getting the best price out there. Highly Recommended read more

We went through the Costco Auto Program to purchase a 2025 Honda CRV. The website had a Honda dealership in Corona contact us to set up a meeting. We ended up going down and test driving a few different models. We decided on a particular one and went over the numbers. They gave us the Costco pricing sheet but it had additional dealer add ons that they refused to remove from the price because they said that's how they make their money since Costco discounts below MSRP. We walked out and went to Honda of Riverside instead. They gave us Costco pricing and did not add the pricing for dealer add ons. They asked if we wanted extended warranties, gap insurance, etc. We refused and just paid the price of vehicle. Great program just be aware if the dealer tries to inflate the price by other means. read more

Good chance to safe money on parts or purchase. Next my cars we will buy only through Costco car program

We purchased our first vehicle using Costco program at Lou Sobh Honda. Couldn't have been easier in all aspects, Met or exceeded our expectations. read more

DO not trust the folks at Fontana Jeep Dodge Chrysler. They mislead and are not worth dealing with. They are not honest about their pricing and they did not offer the full value of the noted Costco discount. read more

The Costco Auto Program works great! Eric Zhang, the Internet Sales Manager was very helpful and professional in every way. He showed me the Costco Pricing Process and accompanied me in test driving the vehicle. Lisa Hamilton, the Finance Manager, was very informative of all the aspects of the finance process. I would highly recommend Lexus of Riverside to my family and friends. Job well done! read more

I've been a Costco member for many many years but never used their auto buying program. Recently a friend of mine told me how easy it was so when my sister was ready to make a purchase I told her to sign up for a Costco membership and try the auto program. Going through it with her, I was amazed at how easy it really is!! She received a quote within 24 hours from a local dealership, called up one of the representatives listed on the pricing sheet, and then went to the dealer the next day to complete paperwork. Walking through the door with the pricing pre-negotiated was such a breeze, and the rep was incredibly courteous. After seeing how easy it was I decided to try it myself. I had also initiated contact with a broker through Autoland, and while that broker was likewise very professional and courteous I preferred the Costco program for the price savings. The pricing Costco offered was much better than anything Autoland was offering. Autoland does have the extra service of delivering the car to you so you never have to set foot in the dealership, so that is nice, but for me the cost savings was too good to pass up through Costco. Yes, you still have to go to the dealer and go through their paperwork, but its much easier because they know you already have something in mind, with a price point, and you're ready to close the deal. My friend did take her Costco quote and shop it around to a couple dealerships, but I didn't do that since I already had some comps in hand and I got much more car for a better price, so I was pretty happy. Saved me about $1200!! read more

I would recommend this program to anyone buying a new car. I was our first purchase through the Costco Auto Program and we would definitely use it again. I received a call from one of the authorized dealer contacts from the participating dealership. He was very pleasant and not pushy. It was the first time we didn't have to haggle on the price. No making an offer, then waiting for it to be presented to a manager, then coming back to us to say no, making another offer and yada yada yada. They showed us the Costco price sheet and we added one item at the Costco discounted price (20% off) and that was it! It turned out to be a very easy, stress free experience! read more

First time using Costco to purchase a vehicle. It was a good experience. Either send info online or via phone, then Costco gives you info of closest dealers who are participating in the program. If another location is where you want to go, you can ask them for their dealer. A little bit of emailing back and forth and talking on the phone of makes /models then booked an appt for next day to see car agreed on. Costco Price was sent via email. Still Spent about 4 hours total at dealer with test drive, car washing, and financing. Still recommend bringing a car savvy friend as they will upsell warranty or extras. I am satisfied with using Costco and will always use from now on when purchasing a car. read more

Costco Auto Program - New car beep beep - Car Dealers Near Me - San Diego, California

Updating my review after taking delivery of my new Kia Telluride. I saved $7,062 by purchasing my new vehicle through the Costco Auto Program. The process was extremely simple and straightforward. I couldn't be happier with the dealership, Kia of Muncie. It was well worth the drive for the savings and great experience. I have a Kia dealership practically in my backyard but they do not participate in the Costco Auto program. After I test drove a Telluride and found out they were going to mark up the price thousands of dollars over MSRP I decided to find a dealer through the Costco program. It took me all of five minutes to find that Kia of Muncie was with the program. A few emails later and I had ordered the exact vehicle that I wanted, at a savings of $7,062 from the price I would have paid at the dealership that was not affiliated with Costco. I have purchased quite a few new vehicles over the years and this was by far the most pleasant experience I have ever had. Highly recommend Costco Auto Program, Kia of Muncie, and my sales consultant Lucas Boehm. read more

I went to 2 dealerships that the Costco Auto Program referred me to. They both gave me fair prices for the vehicle I was looking for. Saved me the headache of negotiating, which generally made the experience more pleasant. read more

Our friends recommended this program when they heard we were interested in getting a new car. We filled out the form and within 5 minutes of filling it out we had a call from the recommended dealer (who we loved anyway) and they started looking for our car. They had it delivered to their showroom and when we came to pick it up the forms were all filled out we just needed to pay and sign off. It was almost a 10% discount using Costco Car Buying Program. Our dealership was amazing as well. It was such a surprising delight to feel good about our purchase. Not just good excited and happy. We love our new Subaru Crosstrek! read more

I am not easily impressed, but I give high marks to the folks at Sunshine Service in Sparks. I went there for a wheel alignment after purchasing new tires for my Honda Pilot. They were friendly and highly professional. Their facility is excellent, their waiting area is clean, comfortable, has a TV, complimentary snacks and beverages, and our dog was welcome. The inspection process and report was very comprehensive , and the service advisor Alberto took the time to explain everything. I won't hesitate to return. read more

Costco Auto Program - Our barely used, new to us, Toyota! - Car Dealers Near Me - San Diego, California

Used the Costco auto program to find pricing for a vehicle in the past (2018). Went to another dealership for a different color car and negotiated without the Costco guaranteed pricing just to end up at the same price lol. So I figured next time out a vehicle I'll just use the program so I can get the price hassle free! The transaction this time (2023) went smoothly, team was nice and pleasant to work with, and I didn't feel pressured into haggling or add ons etc. highly recommend! read more

We used the Costco Auto Program to purchase a 2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport Utility from DCH Honda of Mission Valley in San Diego. This is the second time we have used the Costco Auto Program. It was a really good experience when we used it years ago and it was outstanding this time around. We were contacted by Cassandra and she has been an outstanding representative with the dealership. With her assistance, the process began with "shopping at home" as she emailed us all the information about our vehicle of interest. We met with her at the dealership not long afterward and she patiently answered all our questions - and my wife had many questions! We chose our vehicle and a few days later it was available for us to take delivery. There was never any pressure. Every person at the dealership was friendly, patient, and courteous. Highly recommend the Costco Auto Program and DCH Honda of Mission Valley in San Diego. We are very happy with the price we received from the program and the speed of the purchase in an era of limited inventory. read more

Costco Auto Program - At home with our new vehicle! - Car Dealers Near Me - San Diego, California

If you have never used the Costco Auto Program to buy or lease a vehicle, you've provably missed out on some huge savings! First off, you need to be a Costco Member! Then, all you have to do is sign up on the Costco website ahead of time and they will direct you to which dealership to go and give you a contact's name. Be sure to fill out the questionnaire after your purchase to receive any other incentives. This is the third time I've used this program and I will continue using it if I am in need of another vehicle! We've leased two cars and received the best incentives! We were given Costco Cash Cards! This third time, we purchased our car. The price is already set below the invoice price. We also received a 50% off coupon off parts, service, and accessories. I want to buy a rubber mat for the cargo area to protect it. I did a lot of price comparisons through TrueCar and many dealerships all over So Cal. I even texted dealerships to get lower prices and not one could match the price. One came relatively close, but I only wanted to pay the lowest dollar amount! We love our 2020 CR-V! We bought it just before we were mandated by LA County to stay at home due to COVID-19. read more

BEST CAR BUYING EXPERIENCE especially with how dealerships are these days for just having a costco membership.

Got all four tires done for hella inexpensive. They also have a program where they check your tires once a month once it's done. They were really great with the job, on time and finished early before they quoted. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Great place! read more

This is my first time trying the Costco Auto Program in buying my first brand new car. My first time buying a brand new car was daunting because of the terrible experiences I've heard that people had in purchasing a vehicle through a car dealership as there's many tricks and games played on the sales floor. I was educated with many of the games played and was ready to roll the dice in my journey in buying a new car. However, my experience was far from that. I signed up online via the Costco Auto Program and was contacted immediately the very next day by Cassidy Hernandez (Business Development Representative) from Ray Catena Lexus of Larchmont who assisted me in a brand new vehicle I was interested in. In addition, I also received an email & text message from Bob Pellecchia (Sales & Leasing Consultant). Cassidy and I spoke over the phone and she confirmed the discount provided by the Costco Auto Program and promptly provided the Costco Member-Only Price Sheet via email for me to review. Bob texted me right after if I had any further questions and we got on the phone for the out the door number as I knew this is the car I wanted (color, trim, interior, model). Bob was 100% transparent with his final out the door number from Day 1. Also, I knew his out the door number was extremely competitive and aggressive compared to others with the Costco Auto Program discount. There were absolutely no games played or high pressure sales tactics. No bogus or hidden fees. He made me feel at ease with my purchase of the brand new 2024 Lexus RX350H Premium Plus. He provided me with simple answers to my questions and I slept on it for 1 night before providing him an answer to put down a refundable deposit on the vehicle I wanted to purchase. The next day I called and let him know I am ready to put down the refundable deposit and would like to pick it up the coming weekend (Saturday). He emailed me the draft Vehicle Purchase Agreement with the out the door number that we discussed. The entire purchase experience has been amazing and very straightforward. He provided the utmost excellent new car buying experience! He is truly a sales professional, extremely knowledgeable, respectful with excellent car buying experience in mind. There was no stress whatsoever. The day before pick up Bob contacted me in advance to let me know things are running a little late due to it being the end of the month sales and the dealership was extremely busy and prepping my new car would be ready by 11AM instead of 9AM as discussed previously. I understood as a customer. He was very professional and apologetic regarding the delay as I could have showed up at 9AM without knowing and which would decrease the buying experience by waiting. My family and I got there a little after 11AM and we instantly recognized our brand new car with a nice big red bow on top. We finally met Bob in person and he showed us our brand new car and helped us take a few pictures. He also provided quite a few free items: Ray Catena Lexus bear for my son, (2) stainless steel thermal cups, a cap for my son and a foldable cargo organizer. I inspected it from top to bottom for about an hour. He was very patient and understanding of my inspection that I performed. Brandon James (Technology Specialist) was introduced to me by Bob to teach me about the technology on the vehicle as I was coming from a 2013 vehicle which is a huge change. Brandon was extremely knowledgeable, patient, professional and has client experience satisfaction in mind as well. I took the car for a test drive and everything was great. After everything checked out, I was ready to execute the sale with all the paperwork required and drive it off the lot! The experience was amazing and we would wholeheartedly endorse Ray Catena Lexus of Larchmont and especially Bob Pellecchia, Brandon James and Cassidy Hernandez to anyone looking for a car and truly see them in action to live up to the Lexus "Experience Amazing." read more

Best car buying experience of our lives. Great deal and professional service. We will never buy another any other way.

This was my 4th car purchase, but first time using Costco auto program and it made everything the most simple and seamless. I've had a few experiences at dealerships where I've left feeling exploited, taken advantage of, and just overall terrible; however, this program was the complete opposite and actually helped me feel more grounded and overall comfortable thru the entire purchasing process. It was reassuring to not have to play a back and forth power struggle with the dealership; I was provided the member price before I went to the dealer and because I liked and accepted it, I went forward with the process. I felt the costco auto program was looking out for me, something I've not had in my previous car buying experiences. Will definitely use this program again for my future car purchases! read more

Costco Auto Program - Car Dealers Near Me - San Diego, California

I got exactly 1 referral from Costco, Audi of Tacoma. They did not respond with any Costco pricing. Instead their Ai assistant kept spamming me every day. It was a complete waste of time. To get only 1 referral and then rely on the very slow (or in my case almost non-existent) back n forth with some guy in Audi of Tacoma when you are in an hurry to buy the car is inexcusable. read more

This is the second time we used the Costco Auto program to buy a car. The Puente Hills Toyota dealer treated us like VIP. They found us the exact model/package that we were looking for. We saved a couple thousand off the MSRP of the specific model we were looking at even though it was a new model and somewhat in demand. The process was very smooth. Excellent customer service from the lobby people, sales, service and financing. Will definitely recommend others to Costco and to this dealer. read more

First time buying a car on my own and first time buying it thru the Costco Auto Program. Great and easy experience. Kyle Gibson at Weir Canyon Acura was great!

Costco Auto Program - The car I bought - Car Dealers Near Me - San Diego, California

I can't believe Costco lends their name to this "service" because they are just lead-generators for selected dealers. While we were able to get a $500 discount and some waived add-ons, I'm not sure we couldn't have done the same on our own. We still had to hassle with a lackluster sales rep, managers wanting to low-ball us for our trade-in, finance folks wanting to sell us extended warranties, etc. Anyone expecting to walk in, sign and drive away into the sunset is in for a rude awaking. In our case, we did not like working with the dealer they hooked us up with and let CA know so in our survey. We received a response back from CA (Yesenia), to whom I tried contacting several times - but never got a response. A few days later I had a follow-up inquiry from CA (Francisco), but ran into the same problem. So I called the main number and was able to get a referral to another dealer on 2/24. This dealer never contacted me, and I never heard from CA again - even after I wound up going back to the first dealer and bought a new car via the CA program. read more
