DNZ is the best
David R.

DNZ works on all of my families vehicles, I've lived in the Costa Mesa area for over 30 years and this is my go to mechanic. It doesn't matter what the situation is if it's not something he works on he'll put you in the direction where you can get it fixed. The owner and his staff are very friendly and they're extremely helpful. I brought in our BMW M3, our Honda Truck and just the other day I saw him working on a new model Chevrolet Corvette. if you're looking for an honest, friendly and really good mechanic then look no further because you found it.

Thank you DNZ! My S550 needed alot of past due items taken care off, very happy with the service. They also worked on my weekend car, SL550 and so far everything has been great . Excellent diagnostics and very fair prices on repairs. Thing that i liked most is how they prioritized the repairs needed! Not many shops would do that!

Fast and smooth purchase finalization process (literally 15 minutes)!

See all

Caesar helped me with a loose bottom panel on my truck. Went in with no appointment and he fixed my problem in 5 minutes. No hassle at all.

*For service only*…read more Probably the best service department I have worked with for 20 years now. Between Porsche, ram, Audi, Mazda, and now my Jeep I can confidently say with no doubt this service department absolutely kills it every time. Worked with Dean and others and it's always the same thing. 5 star service and the guys in the back are FAST.

It genuinely hurts my heart to leave this review because I have been a loyal customer of this…read moredealership for years when it comes to oil changes and service. The service department has always treated me well, been professional, and is the reason I kept coming back. Shout out Tony! Unfortunately, my experience with the sales floor was the complete opposite. I came in expecting honesty and transparency, especially as an existing customer, and instead felt misled and pressured. The numbers presented to me did not align with my original lease paperwork, and when I asked for clarification, I was not getting straight answers. I would never recommend anyone come here to buy a car. Thank goodness I did my research beforehand and brought my lease paperwork with me so I knew what my costs should have been. I feel bad for customers who may not know to do that research and could end up paying far more than they should. I work in sales myself, and experiences like this are exactly what give sales professionals a bad reputation. Honest sales builds trust. Shady tactics destroy it. This was incredibly disappointing because I wanted to continue doing business here. There is a huge difference between the trustworthy service department and the experience I had with the sales side. I don't even know if I would return to the service side though after today's negative experience with sales.

When I first saw the reviews online, I was a little suspicious about how genuine they were. As an…read moreengineer who works at a large e-commerce platform company, I've seen enough online review patterns to recognize when something feels off. Still, I decided to visit anyway since I had nothing to lose. What I experienced only confirmed my concerns. Many of the reviews praising how "kind" and "helpful" the salespeople are simply did not match my experience and felt questionable. The dealership appears to be run by a Middle Eastern family and seems to cater largely to that community. There are Arabic signs throughout the place and many flashy, expensive cars. That in itself is not a problem. As a Hispanic person, I understand that some dealerships focus on particular communities--Mexican dealers may cater to Spanish speakers, and some Chinese dealerships market to new Chinese immigrants. That's simply how business works. However, in my experience the attitude changed drastically once negotiation began. It felt like they were used to dealing with wealthy overseas buyers who don't negotiate much. When I tried to negotiate, the tone became hostile and disrespectful. I was mocked, yelled at, and verbally abused. I also got the strong impression that customers who don't look wealthy--or who are Hispanic, Black, Asian, or otherwise perceived as not fitting their typical buyer profile--may be treated differently. Based on what I experienced and some patterns I noticed in other reviews, the behavior can come across as xenophobic and borderline discriminatory once they assume you might not be able to afford the car. If you still decide to visit, I strongly recommend going alone. Don't bring your girlfriend, wife, parents, or friends unless you're comfortable with the possibility of being insulted in front of them if negotiations don't go their way. Personally, I would suggest looking elsewhere. In today's economy, many used car dealerships are struggling and buyers often have more negotiating power than before. There are plenty of other places where you can get a better deal and be treated with professionalism and respect.

I had a very disappointing experience with AutoNation Honda of Costa Mesa…read more They advertised a new Honda Odyssey for $39,000, which is what prompted me to make the drive all the way from Los Angeles -- nearly two hours in traffic. I confirmed the listing before heading down because I didn't want to waste a trip. When I arrived, I was told the vehicle wasn't actually available. Not only that, but the "new" Odyssey was supposedly a loaner vehicle that was still on the way from Honda and wouldn't even be available for another 60 days. That's not what was advertised. It felt like a classic bait-and-switch tactic -- advertise an aggressive price to drive clicks and get people in the door, only to tell them the car isn't really available once they show up. Driving two hours based on inaccurate information is incredibly frustrating and a waste of time. If you're shopping from out of town, I'd strongly recommend getting written confirmation with a VIN and verifying that the vehicle is physically on the lot before making the drive. I wish I had. Very disappointing experience

I worked with Zed on my purchase and communication over text was flawless. He took the time to make sure I understood the ins and outs of the vehicle and worked with me to get a decent value for my trade-in. Well worth the drive from San Diego for me. If you're in the market for an EV, do yourself a favor and start here first. Tons of cool cars on the lot.

I want to be fair with this review, so I'm going to lay out exactly what happened and let you…read moredecide for yourself. The Good: Zed runs a no-nonsense operation. No pressure tactics, no surprise fees, fair pricing, and a quick and easy transaction. It's refreshing compared to the typical used car dealer experience, and I genuinely appreciated that. The Bad: I drove off the lot and immediately noticed two warning lights on the dash: charging port fault and airbag. You know how cars flash a few lights on startup and they disappear within seconds? That's what I assumed. Besides, you're spending $50K+ on a car and you don't expect to drive away with these active warnings. I simply trusted Zed on that. Both turned out to be real issues. $1,400 paid to fix it. During my inspection, one of the Falcon Wing doors hesitated when opening. Zed said it was probably the sun, shade, or dust interfering. I took his word for it. It wasn't. $650 quote from Tesla. One week later, a steering rack warning appeared. $4,000 quote. Total damage in week one: over $6,000 on top of the purchase price. My Take: I want to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he didn't know about these issues. But either way, it's clear these cars aren't being thoroughly inspected before they hit the lot. I'd give 3.5 stars if I could, but $6,000+ in repairs within a week makes 4 stars hard to justify. Would I buy from here again? "Maybe..." But next time I'm bringing my own inspector, spending more time on the test drive, and checking every light, every panel, and every moving part myself. Bottom line: Good dealer. Smooth process. But do NOT skip a thorough pre-purchase inspection. Do NOT assume the car is in good condition because you're having a good experience during your time at the dealership.
