Title: Dishonest and Sloppy - Do NOT Buy From This Dealership I purchased a van from East County Preowned Superstore, and the entire experience has been a nightmare. The vehicle was delivered dirty, with trash under the seats, a broken window knob, a non-functioning seatbelt, and all four tires cracked and dry-rotted. To top it off, I was only given one key with no fob -- none of this was disclosed up front. The rear cab AC makes a loud, concerning noise, and I was told the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) would be fixed -- but it wasn't. The TPMS warning light is still on, even after I followed up. When I asked why the van wasn't cleaned, I was told they don't detail commercial vehicles. That's absurd and unprofessional. This was also an out-of-state purchase, and I was promised the title and documents would be mailed immediately -- a week later, nothing had arrived, and I had to chase them down for updates. Bottom line: this dealership is careless, untrustworthy, and completely lacks follow-through. If you value safety, honesty, or customer service -- stay far away.

Ethan was a superstar!!! I needed someone who was going to be upfront and honest. Ethan was thorough and transparent and addressed my needs. He was efficient and made me feel valued. I enjoyed my experience at the El Cajon Superstore!!! Ask for Ethan and tell him T sent you.

Thanks, Ethan, for my 2020 Hyundai Elantra

Ethan Bailey is a young man on the rise! I thoroughly enjoyed my buying experience with him and East County Pre-Owned Superstore; no pressure sales, honest, and treated me with respect and courtesy. I made the purchase due to a large part of my comfort during my sales experience. Ethan worked with me to get the best vehicle to fit my buying power and situation. I will recommend Ethan Bailey to anyone I know that needs a vehicle!! Keep up the great work, Ethan, you're going places!

First off, Lorenzo is outstanding. He made the purchase less tedious and I appreciate his…read moreprofessionalism so much. The managers at this location are also very nice and helpful. Background: CarMax let me have a car shipped from their Torrance CA location to this location. It took a couple weeks but they updated me with status when I called, then via email and text. Once the car arrived in El Cajon, I was notified that it was going through inspections and I'd hear from them when it's ready. When the car was ready, I scheduled an appointment. Before the appointment time, they texted me a reminder. I called to get as much of the financing done because I was 75% certain I'd purchase this car after the test drive. Arrived, checked in and went to the lot to find the car. It was just like the photos and I couldn't wait to drive it. I went in and waited. When I inquired about the time, the associate told me I didn't have an appointment and I didn't have a "hold" placed on the car. I told her I saw the car. She said the car was on hold for someone else. I tried to explain that they shipped the car to the location on my request and tried to show her my phone with the email/car photos. She told me that she's just going by what the computer said. Eventually, after waiting, she said she is going to have someone get the car for me. About 30 minutes passed, and she informed me that the car was in "service" and not available but on Monday, she will find out what's going on. I inquired why and she said that it could be a check engine light or the car didn't pass their inspection. I tried to tell her that I have an email from CarMax letting me know it passed all inspections. She refused to listen and sent me away. I got home, called CarMax and explained what happened. The associate pulled up my account with the approved loan for that specific vehicle and told me he was going to email me a link to the car and asked me to confirm that it's the right one. I did. He told me that the car was in the lot and it is the car I looked at when I was there. He said the "hold" on the car is for me. When I returned, the associate who assisted me earlier told me I showed her a screenshot of a different car and that's why it didn't match. That was very bizarre. I test drove the car and it was exactly what I hoped for and more. It was worth the month long wait and I did purchase the car. Overall, CarMax has some very nice cars, they have multiple options for financing, trades and the entire office seemed like a very nice group of professional people. They don't pressure you to buy a car (clearly, since the one associate sent me away). Highly recommend!

Abbey guided me through the features of this VERY SWEET Benz e-car which, when brand new, would ordinarily be $40K. Here, it is only around $15K! No sticker shock here! Just great customer experience. In fact, this CarMax is right across the street from the $60K+ Benz dealership. This CarMax location has friendly, responsive, efficient employees. Abbey helped me with the test drive to learn how to drive the e-car (attached photo) with clean title, silver color, lumbar support, nice features on the 2016 model which was delivered from Torrance. It has low mileage for only around $15K. The range is perfect for in-town drivers or if you have an EV charger (or access). With has prices on the rise, come check it out! Abbey will help you learn how to drive it! Chris, too, has a great attitude. He answered questions. The front counter is organized. Employees look you in the eye, greet you, and are available and willing to help. Thst goes a long way. It speaks to their excellence. CarMax El Cajon has impressive staff, including Justina who initially greeted me, along with Abbey.

I had recently replaced one of them with a pre-owned ACURA I purchased about a month ago which was a very good car buying experience. The dealership we had worked with was great. I still needed to replace the second lease vehicle and I wanted to replace it with another ACURA. I began my search to replace the second lease vehicle. I contacted several dealerships in the LA area over the next 2 months to find another well taken care of vehicle at a fair price. You would think finding any vehicle in a densely populated metropolis such as Los Angeles would be fairly easy, with a plethora of options to choose from. Not so much the case or at least not so much my luck until I expanded my search outside of LA and came across New to You Auto Sales in El Cajon CA. New to You Auto Sales not only had the vehicle (i.e. make, model, options, color, mileage, etc.) but it was also in outstanding condition and they offered it at a very fair price! I checked it out from top to bottom and it was in as good as a new vehicle condition. We made the purchase and drove back home to LA county. Once we got the vehicle back home, I had a certified mechanic give it a thorough inspection and everything came back 100% positive with no issues. The mechanic was equally impressed. I'm glad to say working with New to You Auto Sales was a great experience!

I went to Carmax on a Monday after work, without an appointment, and they were able to see me right away. Since the quote started online, it was an easy process to get registered by scanning a barcode and answering a few questions at the window. Once they test drove the car, the quote was the same. I was then given a list of instructions for my Tesla to reset it to its original factory settings. Please note that you have to do all the steps, even the step for the associate. Once that was done, I was brought over to talk to one of reps who presented the paperwork to sign. It was minimal and the explanation was clear. My balance due at the bank will be handled by Carmax and I was given the remainder of the profit via check. The process was pretty seamless! I'd definitely come back again if I have to sell my car.

The "Express" Pickup is a Total Sham - They Chose a Bot Over a Serious Buyer…read more I've never experienced a more tone-deaf sales process. I am a 100% committed buyer with approved financing. I even went as far as sharing my private insurance settlement documents ($11,500+) with my associate, Maria, just to prove I wasn't wasting anyone's time while waiting for the check to clear. Despite this, CarMax Kearny Mesa has been a logistical nightmare. I live in Carlsbad, and after making multiple trips down there (a 45-80 minute haul each way), their 'solution' to a minor insurance delay was to send me an automated Salesforce threat stating they would release the car if I didn't show up for a third time on Monday. Maria is 'off' on Monday, and management is apparently content letting a bot handle their business. They are willing to blow up a guaranteed, funded deal over a 48-hour administrative window. If you want to be treated like a person--especially if you've done the work to prove you're a serious buyer--go literally anywhere else. This isn't 'Express' service; it's a 'computer-says-no' bureaucracy that doesn't care about your time, your commute, or your business.

After I received a detailed explanation with pictures of the vehicle that I was interested in, Nick was willing to help with financing, insurance, inspections and whatnot. No compromise on safety or reliability. This is a family run business, a family that takes pride in what they do and strive to help folks get great cars at a good price. I have no doubt that my family will continue buying great value vehicles from Nick.

He was nothing but honest, kind, friendly, and professional. Nik went out of his way multiple times to meet with me around my schedule and made sure that I felt comfortable throughout the entire process. He showed me around his shop and provided pictures of the accident the car was in to prove he was legit. It's been about four months since I've purchased my car and it runs perfect. I haven't had any problems with it and I can honestly say that I love my car and making this purchase was the best decision I could've made. I wouldn't have found a better deal for a 2018 Mazda CX-5 with only 10,000 miles anywhere else. Nik is amazing and he truly is the best at what he does. Not to mention, his dad is a very sweet man and was very helpful too! I would 1,000% recommend doing business with him, you won't regret it! Hopefully we will do business again in the future and get my mom a car!
