    Prefacing this review with a comment that the owner/salesman is likeable, very personable, and seems to be a kind honest man. Being in the business for as long as he has been it is difficult for me to understand why he didn't see the obvious clues I as a non-mechanical person noticed. Unfortunately I needed to purchase this vehicle remotely, am on an out of town project and needed a daily driver so flew back home to San Diego with the intent to road trip it back to the project site after visiting with family for a few days and did not test drive it myself before signing the agreement to purchase. I am still in SD going on two weeks while repairs are being done. I feel burned badly and have now shelled out more than $19k that I did not have on a vehicle worth less than $8k per KBB and the banks. Yes I understand it is a used vehicle however I thought even used vehicles were inspected and I always hope people are upfront about things they are offering up for sale. Shame on me for being trusting and shame on him. Flew in and signed the paperwork on a Thursday. Also purchased a 3rd party warranty I was told covered everything front to back. Come to find out this was also an untruth. Drove off the lot, on the freeway the front end had shaking. Went from Mission Gorge Rd to Spring Valley the truck went into blinking O/D light on the dash so I pulled off the closest exit. It would not reset until turned off and back on again. Then proceeded the remaining 4 miles. As I went up the driveway (not steep by any means) it seemed like it bound up, not in 4x4, and would not go. Being used and "As Is" the next morning I called a trusted shop I have frequented for over a decade when suspension service was needed. Minimum to be safe on the road using OEM parts $2600. Checked with Ford service who quoted the same needed service but at a higher cost. When they were done I took it to an AAMCO who had excellent review to have an eval because of the slipping. Trani was throwing a code. Required rebuild of transmission and converter. $2900 None of it was covered by the "3rd party warranty I was told covered everything front to back". I did not expect this much out of pocket expense, feel completely violated, and I am stuck. In the worst possible way. Future buyers beware - If you do purchase from here take it to a shop for inspection before signing the papers. Even if it cost you a little bit of $ it will be worth the time. A pretty vehicle that does not work is just a big piece of expensive art.

    Dr. Car is the BEST

    Paykan Auto in San Diego? Oh man, buckle up, because you just asked for the…read moreyou-can't-handle-the-truth truth about these guys. Most mechanics in SD see a car with a weird noise, a dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree, or something that's been Frankenstein-ed together from three different continents, and they immediately hit the panic button: "Nah, too complicated, take it to the dealer," or "That's gonna cost you an arm, a leg, and your firstborn." They run faster than you do when someone yells "free In-N-Out." But Paykan Auto? These legends look at that same nightmare job--the timing belt on a 20-year-old import that's been babied by someone who thinks "maintenance" means prayer, the transmission that's been slipping since the Obama administration, the electrical gremlins that make your car randomly play polka music--and they just crack their knuckles and say, "Challenge accepted." They've been fixing cars (and selling solid used ones) at 5486 El Cajon Blvd for years, with reviews screaming honesty, fair prices, and straight-up wizardry. One person literally said their family has used them as mechanics for 15+ years while buying multiple cars there. Another called Hadi and the crew "THE BEST!!!!" They tackle the stuff that makes other shops sweat: weird European mods, beat-up daily drivers on their last legs, you name it. It's like if Jack Reacher was a mechanic--quiet, no BS, gets the job done right, and leaves you wondering why everyone else is so scared of hard work. You roll in thinking your car's doomed, you roll out thinking, "Wait, that was actually affordable AND it drives better than when I bought it?" Truth bomb: In a city full of mechanics who ghost you harder than a bad Tinder date, Paykan Auto is the rare shop that doesn't flinch. They handle the repairs everyone else runs from... and they do it with a smile, fair pricing, and zero drama. If your car's throwing a tantrum that would make a toddler jealous, take it to Paykan. Just don't blame me when you become one of those people who starts every story with, "These guys at Paykan fixed my [insert horror story here] like it was nothing." (Pro tip: Call ahead--Hadi and the team are busy saving San Diego's sanity one scary repair at a time.)

    My fiancé and I purchased a car here about 3 weeks ago. Being that we were nearly 100 miles away, I…read morecalled in advance to check that the car was available and to see about financing. I was told by the person on the phone, Rick, that the finance company would not approve financing without adding on their warranty, which was an additional $2800. We made the trip out there and after sitting down to talk financing, I mentioned that the price was pretty high, considering the year and condition of the car and then suddenly they're talking about how they're already giving me a massive discount despite the fact that at NO point from when I called to when we were looking at the car, did they ever talk about giving us a discount. At this point, the finance person we were talking to just up and left and the manager took over. I asked for $350 off and they gave me very hard time about it, however they did approve it. They have you sign all the paperwork with a computer screen half turned towards you. The car gave us a flashing check engine light on the way home. Once reading the paperwork that was emailed to us, I saw on the warranty page as well as the financing page that it states that the warranty is not required or considered for accepting financing. This was very upsetting as we were told, Prior to ever making the trip over; that we would need to have the warranty to secure the financing. When signing the paperwork they do not go into detail about the warranty, They hardly even bring it up. The manager agreed to refund the warranty, however, because "he's losing money on the deal" He has to take his cut of our refund ($1,600) And then we can have the remaining $1,300. I explained to him that We were told we had to have the warranty To secure the financing by Rick. He did not seem to care and instead of doing the honorable thing which would be to return the full value of the warranty because we were lied to by one of his employees, he insists on taking his cut. Despite us being lied to, despite book value on the cars loan paperwork listed as under 5000 (the care was listed at nearly 10k and we purchased for 8.4k) despite that we asked and they agreed on an additional $350 off, and despite that we were told they get most of their cars from auction. So instead of Acknowledging the fact that we were lied to by one of the employees And making things right by refunding us for the full amount of the warranty; They are still going to take their cut of $1600 and they are not even honoring the $350 that I requested off (I never originally requested the $1,600 off. As previously stated we came there, assuming we were going to pay full price, and were not told about a discount until I directly questioned what they were talking about) It seems to me like they only gave us the additional amount off to get us approved for financing, but because they were taking less on the car, they added the warranty so that they could still make an additional profit. Every time I call, they say that the manager is gonna call me back and he never does. But of course, when I was calling to originally buy the car, they were l quick to call back. This could have been a much different review, despite the slimy hard selling techniques; I did like the car, however I cannot stand behind being purposely misled and lied to and when Confronting them about it, they refuse to actually make it right. The trust is gone. I have to agree with the negative reviews. Please do not buy a car here. I will never return. What does it say about a business if they do not care about making things truly right?
