Wow, this place is amazing. Great team of professionals. My daughter just purchased a 2016 Kia Optima Turbo. This car was absolutely beautiful, clean and ready to go. From the time we both walked in, we were welcomes by Agustin. Earlier that morning we seen an Ad for this care. So I called and an Agustin answered, spoke with him briefly then ending the call with maybe we'll come by. The impressive part was, we walked up to the car, and from behind a gentleman approached us with "Hi daughters name". Agustin addressed us by name and its was a pleasure from there on. Typically, I make it a point to purchase my cars from a larger dealer. However, with the service we were given. I am sold on being open to smaller dealerships. We spent quite a bit of time there, almost a walk out. If it wasn't for Chris the Finance guy, we would not of been able to make this purchase. Chris worked the number for my daughter who had a couple dings on her credit report. She was almost at a super high interested rate. But Chris was diligent, went back several times. I believe this was to cash in some favors for this deal to to happen with lower month payment. AND THAT WAS amazing. Chris YOU ROCK!! In addition, I truly feel you had my daughters interest at heart. I later that evening shared my experience with my husband. He agreed, with those comments from Chris really showed you cared, not just to make a deal to get this young lady a car, but really taking in her circumstances to make this deal affordable so she can handle it. I would return for son's call next .... and recommend this dealership to anyone. Oh BTW, they had a lot of nice fancy cars as well. ***Continue the great work Golden Auto Group!! Wishing YOU all the success. If you keep up the level of professionalism, there is NO stopping a sale. :-) Lady T read more

Golden Auto Group - My m4 - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Corona, California

READ THIS BEFORE PURCHASING FROM GOLDEN AUTO GROUP. HERE IS HOW MY PURCHASE WENT. 8/3 - I Purchased the Vehicle. ( which is a whole other rabbit whole of events) 8/7 - Check engine light comes on, took vehicle back to the dealer. 8/15 - dealer says car is ready for pick up. (It's not codes we're just cleared) 8/18 - check engine light comes back on with even more codes 8/24 - Authorized Audi dealer diagnosis the vehicle needing $9,000 in Engine & Suspension repair. 9/7 - Second in depth diagnosis vehicle needing $11,000 in engine repairs. Head Gasket shot and coolant leak. The car is leaking coolant internally into the engine and mixing with the coolant. The car has been in the shop for diagnostics longer than it has been in my driveway. Now I have a car payment with a car I can't even drive. The dealer says there is nothing they can do because I didn't purchase there two day warranty. Regardless of the technicalities imagine buying a car you are so excited about only to find out that the head gasket is shot and has internal damage that could only be discovered by diving it and removing the supercharger. In addition to this purchase they add a AMS Patrol Fee of $1499 AND ETCH fee of $1499 on top of what ever the listed price is. Which I would have been fine with if the vehicle operated correctly. How can an honest business sell this to a client? BUYERS BEWARE SHOP ELSEWHERE SAVE YOURSELF THE MONEY AND HEADACHE. ______________________________________________________ Back story, my 2007 Audi A4 was involved in a hit and run last year. Insurance did nothing. So I sucked it up and rode my Bike to work 10 miles each way. Rain or sunshine it didn't matter. Saved up enough to by my dream car which in less than 30 days not a dream but a nightmare. read more

Don't go here. I screwed over by some guy name Frank. He said he won't run my credit until I decide on a vehicle. I get a notice from credit report that some crown auto gallery ran report. I wouldn't deal with company ever. Please stay away from this dealership they scammed me. read more

Don't walk, RUN from this place! Saw a vehicle in their ad. Went to check it out, test drove it, and decided to buy it. Get into the "Manager's" office to do the deal for asking price (which was slightly high blue book price) and suddenly the numbers go up 10K +. What?? "Oh," he says, "That's for all the extras, the wheels, suspension lift, lights, etc." I'm like, "What are you talking about? It was advertised at a certain price, that should be the price!" He says, "That's not how it works. We spent all this $$ fixing it up..." I whip out the Carfax I'd pulled, including photos from 2016 of the vehicle with all the mods he claimed he'd just done. Busted, idiot. We got up and walked out. This place is shady as h*ll. If they were selling the last car on earth, I'd rather walk! read more

U.S MARINE SCAMMED $2000?! I love serving my country and keeping this country safe, but when you have people avoiding you and scamming you out of $2000 it really disappoints me. Anyways, I cancelled the insurance services that was provided for my contract. I still haven't received my $2000 from my refund and it has been almost a year and I am still waiting for my money. As a U.S Service Member this is really inconvenient for me because I am always overseas and busy. The laziness they have to not respond to my emails and work with me is really adding unnecessary stress right now. No response from the finance department via Email for weeks! (yes I keep forwarding my emails) Golden Auto Group if you see this please text or call me (310) 561 5358. I would love this fix this burden! read more

Golden Auto Group - Been waiting for my refund since 6/18/2021. (6/18/2022 is a typo) - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Corona, California

I went there to look at 2 potential cars that fit my preference. Mind you, I am coming from San Pedro so information is crucial to my decision. I looked at the pictures on line, and both cars looked good (No damage in the pics). I called and asked about the pricing for them, and they said the price is firm but that's the price minus Tax, Title and license. I though, ok fair enough. I took an Uber out there based on possibly purchasing one of these cars. The First Car was a complete wreck. There was pitting all over the front bumper and mirrors, and definitely hit on one side and had been terribly repaired using bondo. The Carfax was clean on this car. Terrible. I drove it, and was not impressed. The second car was a little better body-wise, so i drove it and was ready to do the deal. We go into the office, and all of a sudden, all these extra charges were rolled into the price (Paint protection, Alarm, Fabric guard, etc). Obviously up-charges. I was very firm on what i wanted to pay, and thought it was a good number, but they refused to take off all the up charges. Why would you need fabric protection on a car with 100,000+ miles and paint protection on paint that is pitted? First lesson on selling cars.... DO NOT HIDE imperfections Second lesson.....Do not try to add crap cost on to make a bigger profit. AVOID THIS DEALER LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!!! Will not ever be going back. read more

Changed the named to " crown auto gallery " AVOID THESE PEOPLE THEY ARE SCAMMERS . They over charge , they don't fix the cars so most of them are already messed up , my car broke down literally 2 days after I got it , and then they said they were gone fix it just to find out the mechanic was just joy riding my car after he fixed one issue and just left the rest as is and as "compensation" they sent me like 100 $ I just told them thanks you and I'll Forsure never be returning here and it's the worst mistake I ever made coming here to this business read more

I am basing this purely on my experience in researching a car that they had on the lot. Luckily I decided to read reviews by others that went through the entire process and thank God I did. Many people complained about the old bait and switch with the sales price being one number and then being jacked up several rhousand dollars by the time they signed the paperwork I decided to ask the sales person for the OTD price and lo and behold there was an additional 2500 in dealer fees. When asked about them he did admit that there were 2 fees-1 for a low jack insurance like contract and 2 for a VIN etching. Y'all can Google that BS VIN etching fee-you can buy the etching kit on Amazon for 20 bucks-but they're going to charge you 2500 for both, or, just for me, he was going to give me a discounted rate from 1500 to 1000 for the low jack like contract. Once I told him that I have never been charged fees like that from a dealership he said it was mandatory on all of their cars. I told him no deal, that's a deal breaker for me. That guy couldn't have cut me loose any faster if I was on fire. He did NOT like being called out for junk fees. Do your homework people cause it's a real racket in car dealership land and I for one will not be taken advantage of. read more

SCAM ARTISTS!!! They don't tell you any of this until very end of the entire process: 1. They will charge you an extra $1,500 for an "anti-theft" device and will not remove it off price sheet even if you do cash or finance 2. They will charge you another $1,500 for a VIN etch with some sleazy promise of helping you if car gets stolen I offered to buy the car immediately if they removed these two things and they said "no" Cars are missing parts Some won't even start on the lot Avoid this place and find a reputable, honest, and upfront car dealership. All of this just for me to buy a simple cheap work car. Please avoid this dealership and go somewhere else read more

Almost all dealerships charge additional fees and that's totally understandable, but I've never heard of a $38k car get marked up to $46k out the door. Apparently tax, title, and their fees add an additional $8k, and $4k is for their "theft protection" aka just a tracker in the car and other useless gimmicks. You can't opt out of getting the gps tracker, this car also has an accident reported compared to another one i've seen which I got quoted $41k out the door. This dealerships and others in particular that also use deceptive pricing to lure in people buy cars from salvage insurance claims and auctions from other states to fix them up and reregister the title in California and it wipes the title clean. Definitely stay away from this dealership and do your research before you get scammed for a $4k gps tracker read more

Shady business full of crooks! Don't go here at all. Go somewhere reputable!!! Lemon cars !!!!!!!!!!

IF YOU ARE THINKING OF GOING HERE TO BUY A CAR I WOULD STRONGLY ADVISE YOU NOT TO. I bought a car here that literally left me stranded the same week, I got it. I took it to them to get it fix and when I received it back it had damages on top of the car that wasn't there when, I bought it. I noticed the cv axle leaking oil but decidedto go elsewhere cause of what happened the week before. This is my first time buying a car from a used car dealers and the last. I felt like I would of got a better deal and treatment at the main VW dealership.. read more

Bought a car from them in 2021 Guy who sold me the car fully admitted he can't drive legally bc of a DUI which I should've taken as a red flag. While test driving it, I asked if it had been in any accidents was assured it was not. I go in to talk about prices and instead of 14k like it said online it bumped up to I believe 20k. I then asked again now for the Carfax, the DUI guy distracted me somehow and I never saw the carfax (my mistake). I purchase the car and find in the glove box an envelope stating the previous owner had taken it to get repaired due to an accident... mind you also the paperwork they had me sign showed at the last few pages how it's in perfect condition no accidents, is that legal? Idk but it was complete bullshit. I called them to see if I can just get a refund and return the vehicle which they said no, I contacted a lawyer but he was looking to be paid pretty much my down payment on the car to fight my case which he knew he had enough evidence to fight against this fraudulent dealership. If I could go back I'd sue the shit out of this place. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS DEALERSHIP AT ALL!!! If I went elsewhere (damn I could even buy a new car w how much I'm paying each month) my monthly payments would be cheaper and I wouldn't have had to pay $30 to see the carfax report to see it hadn't been just one 1 accident but 2. This place will lie to your face to get you to buy a car which is extremely unprofessional. I overpaid for a Scion TC. Don't get me started on the ad ons they force you to pay which are about 5k and the 3k warranty they throw in there (which if anyone has bought a car from this place you can contact them even if you signed for it, saying you no longer want it and they are forced to send 3k back to ur financial institution or cash if you paid full) I REPEAT DO NOT PURCHASE A CAR FROM THIS DEALERSHIP THEY WILL SCAM YOU Luckily my car hasn't had any issues after 2 years of having it but many reviews on here state how they've been screwed over and how there cars had to pay 5k plus repairs after purchasing especially military personnel who have purchase from this dealership which isn't right. Why scam someone who's fighting for our country it's straight up disgusting how they run business read more

Take your money elsewhere! Avoid stress and headaches! The cars here are either crashed or broken. I bought a car here and had to bring it in for repairs 3 times and still had to paid for that! All in the same 2 months that's I bought it in! The car is still not good and I'm stuck with it. Do your self a favor and don't come to this dealer!!!! If I could I would put no stars. read more

This place will rip you off. The only positive is that the will straight up just tell you they are. People under California law don't have to pay for certain things and this place is trying to charge thousands to make profit off of people who don't know. Their prices seem fair at first until they keep adding fees on fees. When we asked about the fees the guy laughed at us. Completely unprofessional place and I feel sorry for people who actually get ripped off and purchase cars from them. Do not waste your time here. read more

Just make sure you bring your own mechanic and always check the wipers, paint, car battery and tires.

Sold me a car with rust holes in the trunk and told me they would fix. Before we agreed to anything I told him that I didn't want it to be cheap fixed with Bondo I wanted it replaced they agreed and promised that they would get it done the right way. What I got back was completely garbage. They'll most likely comment under this that there has been a resolution To the Situation. But it's not one im happy with this guys are swindlers Will take any opportunity to rip you off read more

This place is horrible, customer service is disgusting Daniel if you see this you're horrible at what you do! You need more training. I asked if they do commercial business applications and he told me no till I insisted speaking with his manager and all of sudden they do applications. Point of the story don't waste your time I was trying to purchase a Audi A5 2013 100k plus miles and they marked up the price another 5k tf???? SCAMMMMMMM read more

buyers beware! they dont negotiate on their prices and they add a ridiculous additional $1500.00 theft device on the vehicle! so you're going to pay for the vehicle price with that device. very shady place. this place is rebranded to "crown auto gallery". they can remove any dealer add ons, you dont need to pay extra for those items. you didnt ask for those extra things. go somewhere that doesnt do shady business like this place. i worked at big high end dealership and they never force products onto their clients like they do. dont waste your time here. read more

Talked to the manger Agustin or something like that. One word: d***. I was completely nice, and my family was there with me also. He rather keep his lot full rather than making a deal & selling the car. I should also include that every car comes with an anti-theft adding an additional $2,000 to the selling price this should be an option. They can remove it but that wouldn't " benefit " them as one of the sellers said. Anyways I asked the manager if he was willing to negotiate his price . (The price on the car I was looking at was $ 29,999. marked "over priced" online) the manager responded with "I can do higher" .. why would I negotiate the price just for the price to go higher? Honestly rude sweaty man.. no wonder this dealership is rated so low, now I understand. read more

What a total bunch of con artists! After calling the office and leaving a message and also messaging on Facebook and getting zero response we decided to run and BUY a car here. I should have gotten the hint. First of all why have sales people who don't want to help you buy a car. The entire time this guys was rolling his eyes and making noises because we kept asking questions. He them precedes to tell me how honest he is during the test drive, then the minute we set out of the car tell me we have to pay an additional $1500 for a Mandatory lowjack system and that price is additional on ALL the cars on "his" lot. We wanted the Jaguar moved up to an Audi and he wanted nothing but to make us feel like we needed to run off "his" lot with our money in hand. Do not, I mean it seriously, waste your time or hard earned money here! read more

Do not come here they said there was a 7 day return policy and wouldn't let me return on 3rd day because the manager was on "leave"but kept calling until the 7 days were up and nothing the cars whole subframe was rusted and from what I've seen they Mickey Mouse on most cars and sell em they only give good service when selling a car but after that they pretty much ghost you. read more

Bad customer service. Came here to look at a Lexus ISF. In order to test drive a car they have to run your credit. Seems unnecessary, but went ahead and did it. After test driving the car I pointed out a few things that were not working. Center AC was out, one fog light was out, and hood struts did not work. I let the salesman know of these issues and was told that there mechanics could fix these issues. I went inside to talk numbers with the "money" guy. He gave me 2 options and they were both horrible. I told him I was pre-qualified and would be going through my own bank for financing. Once I let him know about that he started giving me a bad attitude. I then asked when they have the repairs that I pointed out completed, to give me a call. A few days later I give them a call asking for the salesman who told me that the repairs would be done. The "money" guy answered the phone telling me he didn't know anything about anything, and that I would have to get in contact with the salesman that originally helped me out. I asked to speak to him, but was never able to get a hold of him. I tried calling a few more times and would only get there voicemail. This was a bad experience from the start. Car was listed at $26,999 and they were trying to offer me financing for $39,000. No details about anything, bad attitudes, and horrible people skills. Only thing this dealership has going for it is the inventory. I am surprised this place is still in business. Strongly recommend not going here. Terrible place of business with shady people working here. read more

Absolutely horrendous customer service. Been trying to reach them regarding a refund they owe me and they give me runabout answers every single time. They never reply to your emails unless they're trying to get you in the door, they lie about calling you back, and even trying to go in person ends up with a useless explanation that could've been better left over the phone. I got treated far better at a damn Toyota dealership. At least they reply to my emails and calls. For them, it's always, "we'll give you a call later," "we'll let you know when it's here," or, "that's not my problem you have to reach the finance department." Wouldn't be a problem if it seems like everyday the finance department is on vacation or something. Not mad at them for selling me a car; I signed all the contacts and read everything, albeit naively, but hey, fair is fair and as is is as is. I'm mad at them for holding $3500 of my money hostage. read more

This is probably one of the worst experiences I have ever had. I went in yesterday and put in an application for a car and had cash down and they said to come back the next day when they get back from the banks for the approval. Come to find out they sold the car under me to somebody else after already putting in an application for it. read more

I came to this auto shop because I wanted to look at 1 car they were selling. Due to covid, I just wanted to seal the deal but before I did I wanted to check & test the car. Two employees came up to me and BOTH were not wearing a mask. One of them was helping me out and instead of showing me the car, they wanted to run my credit already. I literally wasted my time. I drove for an hour just so an employee can refuse to show me a car before running my credit. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE. read more

Complete waste of time. Ran my credit just to go back and forth on a deal. Was going to drive 2 hours for them to waste even more of my time, but luckily I didn't. Like they don't even want to sell a cars so fine don't sell me your car... recommend yall go else where. read more

Wanted to pick up a Honda Si that was posted for about 14k. Was greeted by a nice dealer. Test drove the car, loved it. Now paper work time.. crunch numbers.. I told them I had 8k down payment. After they finished with all the mark ups the car was going to be 22k and I'll still owe 14k after my down payment.. I refused to pay for up charges and they gave me a different price. The 2nd deal still had a up-charge for some kind of anti theft device that he was trying to push that cost $1500. I refused the deal and walked out.. With this I've learned about this place is, whatever is on the sticker price expect them to add a bunch of BS to it. When you sit down to talk numbers, make sure you have them break down price. In conclusion, I want to say steer clear of these guys because it seems like they will take advantage of a less knowledgeable car shopper.. Good luck car shoppers, I hope this helped. read more

I just bought my first ever car today from this dealership and I am more than happy with the car. Big thanks to Chris M. and the rest of the employees for helping me out. The car looks and feels beyond my expectations. It was presented to me very well and everybody there made it so smooth, easy and comfortable. Super friendly bunch of guys, thumbs up! I would highly recommend everyone to get a vehicle from them, you won't regret it. Thank you again Golden Auto Group! You guys are awesome! read more

Went to check out a 2011 135i and first thing I did was pop the hood to look for leaks and first this I see valve cover leak as well as oil housing leak, hood struts didn't work paint was chipped and cracked in multiple places. Best part was as soon as I started it it said the coolant was low lol so coolant leak as well. Overall car was junk yes they look nice online but goddamn was this car bad I feel bad for all the people that bought cars without knowing what to look for. I was only there for like 5 mins and I was 1000% sure I didn't want the car anymore. This place is absolutely garbage NEVER COME HERE. read more

After 5 months of having the car I decided to write an update on the actual car sold. I came in to replace my tires when the mechanic came out to tell me that my tire pressure sensor was TAPED on. The replacement fee was $70 PER tire. This is so the low tire message won't appear on the dash. Total $280 I was also not told the gaskets were leaking and I had to replace them for $30 a gasket. Total $120 My catalytic converter was soft and is now about to go out. General price for this is $300-400. Please make sure you inspect the car thoroughly before buying here so you won't be stuck with all these unsuspected bills. Disappointed they were more focused on the sale then being honest. read more

I purchased a 2014 BMW 535i from here. It had very low mileage. For the most part, visually the car seemed like it was well kept. Unfortunately a little over a month later, I started to notice the motor fan is overworking. 2 days ago, I went to dinner and the car prompted for me to pull over while I was on the freeway because the car was overheating. I had to pull over because the car started to power down. I had to wait for it to cool off before attempting to start it up again. I took the car to get a diagnostic and it turns out there a whole list of things that need to be addressed. There's items on the list that seem like they should have been addressed prior to placing the vehicle on sale. The major issue with the car seems to be that the water pump needs to be replaced and the oil filter housing is leaking. I of course reached out to Peter the finance person, and told him what's going on. Of course, he reminded me that I did not purchase a warranty at the time of sale and that had I done so this would have been covered. What really disappoints me is that some of these issues such as the bushings being cracked; both rear differential out shaft seals are leaking; valve cover leaking; The Power Steering wasn't even flushed. These all I would think, any reputable dealership would have addressed prior to selling a vehicle, for at the very least ensuring to maintain a consistent and noteworthy reputation. Referrals and reviews/research are after all, very useful resources when searching for a vehicle. It's notable to mention that Peter has been courteous and did offer to ask his service team for a quote to fix my car, but honestly, I wouldn't have thought all these things would have come up. It's unfortunate to have this feeling of a bad experience, but I think the only way to try and make it better is for something to be worked out between myself and this dealership. I can only hope that they do whats right for the customer. read more

We came from far to come look at a silver S2000 which has amazing pictures on their website. You couldn't see any dents or scratches on the pictures, which I now realize were kind of overexposed. He was kind enough to get the car out of the maze of cars he has. We get there, there are several dents on the car all around, front lip was broken in half on the underside and hanging, there was a disgusting smell coming from the trunk, and some areas like the mirror covers were going to need paint. There was some bubbled paint on the interior of the hood and engine bay near the radiator. There is a literal crack in the front bumper or fender beside the hood. The honesty wasn't there in the listing. We test drove it, it ran very nice. But on top of all that, he wouldn't come down on his price. He just stood on top of his stairs looking down and shook his head no. So when we let him know we no longer were interested in it, he took it around the corner and RIPPED on it and drove it back after 10 minutes while we were looking for our next S2000. We realized after driving another one on another lot that his had an aftermarket exhaust, even though he told us the car was completely stock. read more
