I've only ever leased or bought cars from big dealerships or through private-party sales, so I was hesitant when my boyfriend suggested stopping at a smaller dealership. But from the moment we arrived at Hi Auto Sales, that hesitation disappeared. Don greeted us warmly, gave us plenty of space and time to browse the inventory, and never made us feel pressured. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming. While we were there, several customers who had recently purchased vehicles stopped by, and every one of them had great things to say about Don and Leyna. After visiting multiple large dealerships throughout Orange County and feeling disappointed by the condition of their used cars, Hi Auto Sales was a refreshing change. You can tell Don genuinely takes pride in the vehicles he sells -- the cars were well cared for, and some even had thoughtful upgrades already installed. They also had great interest rates and nearly matched the rate I was given with Chase and they were able to finance vehicles more than 10 years old. If you're looking for a used Lexus, Hi Auto Sales is absolutely worth checking out. read more

After reading the positive reviews, we drove all the way from San Diego to buy a Sienna van. It was in great condition just like their pictures showed. Don and his wife are family people and honest. The van was better than we expected and his price was reasonable. Transaction was quick and seamless. Don didn't try to sell us anything extra and went the extra mile to make sure we were happy. This was such a refreshing experience. read more

Before you read my review - keep these things in mind: #1 - No is forcing you to buy a car #2 - Due diligence is always your responsibility - Do a pre-purchase inspection #3 - This dealership, like every other used car dealership - is selling USED cars - they can't disclose every single thing that the car went through and there are no guarantees - it's an implicit risk of buying used (especially older) That being said, I had a very good experience with my purchase at Hi Auto Sales. I bought a used 2006 Toyota Tundra with ~$141K miles. Just a tip for anyone who is buying a car that old - you're going to spend more money to get it up to speed - things wear out no matter what with time. Don and his wife Leyna are a wonderful duo - Don clearly takes a lot of pride in the way he runs his business and Leyna is bright, easy to communicate with and very personable. After purchasing the car, I had noticed issues with the rear door lock actuators and brought it up to Don and Leyna. Honestly, it didn't even occur to me to check because you just assume they worked fine. They were very gracious and offered to replace and fix the issues at a fraction of what it cost me. I think this is extremely generous considering the car was bought "As-is" and they had no responsibility to fix it after I drove it off the lot. I think it speaks volumes of how Don wants his customers to perceive their experience at his dealership and knows that it's a small investment for a continuing relationship. This review is NOT intended to advertise or promise anything on their behalf, but my experience with them was great and they definitely earned this 5 start review. I will definitely keep them in mind in the future should I need another car! read more

We drove over an hour away to come look at a Lexus CT200 and were very happy. The car looked better in person very clean and drive great. We made the purchase and the whole process was easy and quick. Thank you leyna for helping us buy a car for my wife. Highly recommend...Thank you. read more

I would give Don and Leyna 5 stars for hospitality and appearing to be expert in choosing high quality used cars for resale. Leyna was a sweetheart and Don seemed very professional at the business. But, I have my doubts about their transparency. We bought a "like new" 14 year old Toyota RAV4 around the first of April and paid over half the price it cost brand new in 2012. While driving it home, we noticed a whining noise from the transaxle. I took it to a Toyota dealership and was informed that service bulletin T-SB-01320-12, issued Aug 8, 2012 had advised to replace the transaxle. Apparently the replacement was never done on this car. The dealership's cost estimate to repair: $9957. Don didn't act surprised when I told him about the problem and honored our 30 day warranty by refunding me a measly $1300 which would have been half the cost that he estimated to replace the transaxle with a used one which could have the same problem. I'm just saying, "Do your homework people before you buy a car from Hi Auto Sales, Inc." Buyer beware! read more

This place deserves 100000+ stars! If you know me, then you know I'm an extremely frugal person. I found the perfect minivan for my family at this dealership. 2004 sienna, yes 20 years old but it's so beautiful and clean! I love it! The BEST deal in all of Southern California! Cleaned, and detailed. New tires. There was no better deal in all of southern CA! I'm freakin serious! I found out they've been in business for 23+ years! Same location, same name! Super impressive for a small sized dealership! Let me give you some pointers before coming here, because I'm super familiar with how the Asian dealerships work (I've been purchasing used vehicles in the Westminster area for decades now). #1: make sure you know what car you want before coming. It makes things a lot easier. Check their website. If it's listed on the site, it's there. I called to check and when I arrived, and the minivan was there. Very kind and friendly owner. #2: ask all and every question you can, when you arrive. The owner (Don Ho) and his wife (Leyna) treated me as if I was family. They will show you the carfax. Yes, they'll show it to you! This way you know that this dealership DOESNT roll back miles. You gotta check the carfax before buying any car to ensure that miles aren't rolled back. This dealership makes sure you're getting a legitimate car without rollback miles! Read all lines in the carfax so that you know what you're buying. I asked about the spare tire, where it was placed, and how to remove the spare tire. Don showed me every item that I asked about. Super knowledgeable guy. #3: this dealership doesn't push you to buy their cars. They greet you when you arrive, and let you examine the cars. If you have questions, you can ask. But they aren't like those American franchised dealerships where a car salesman will follow you every 5 seconds. This place gives you your space to examine the car. Keep in mind, it's not a gigantic dealership so they let you test drive if you're serious about buying. If you're just there to test drive a car and "try" the car out, without buying; this isn't the place to do that. #4: they share everything you want to know about the car. I even asked where I can buy a set of affordable replacement tires in the future (because I'm frugal and don't wanna spend a lot of money), and they referred me to a shop. I also asked where to get tint done, and they also showed me a super affordable place. This dealership is amazing! #5: know how you're gunna purchase the vehicle. If it's cash; super easy. But if you're gunna finance it, make sure you have your finances in order such as credit score and etc. they'll help you find a lender if you gotta finance, but you can prob do your own research to get a pre-approval first so that you'll know what interest rate you'll be getting. Do your homework haha Most of their vehicles are sold AS-IS, but I negotiated to have 30 day 50/50 split warranty. The warranty only covers engine & transmission. Doesn't cover wear & tear (o2 sensors, lightbulbs, etc). Long story short (and why they get 5+ stars) I returned a week later because there was something that bothered me with my minivan. They addressed it on the SPOT and I was off on my way the same day. They treated my as if I was family. Let me ask 1000 questions about everything. If you know me, I love to learn about things, and they told me whatever I wanted to know. I love the owners, truly love them. That's how awesome they are. They are the most honest sales dealership I've ever been to. I visited deluxe auto also, but their cars were filthy and dirty. Hi Auto Sales cleans all their cars. Look at the engine under the hood, it's pristine and clean. I cannot believe how beautiful my 2004 sienna is. 20 year old car and the engine looks cleaner than a 2022 car lol. Amazing. Anyway I'll only be coming here for my used cars in the future. Ps: this place specializes in the reliable Japanese vehicles (Lexus, Toyota, Honda, Subaru, etc). Don Ho, & Leyna - thank you for selling me this amazing sienna minivan, and keeping my 3 year old son company while I examined / researched the vehicle. Love you guys! read more

My family and I bought multiple cars from this dealership already. The owners are very thoughtful and immediately addressed all my concerns and questions.

This is our 3rd car purchased here. They find great older or high mileage cars. Clean them up, fix them up and sell back to the public. When it was time to get my stepson a car, I knew Hi Auto Sales would be where we would go to buy a good quality car that we could rack up more miles on. I've purchased 2 cars and put over 60,000 miles each on them when they both had over 130,000 miles already. Don't be after if of buying a high mileage car from Hi Auto Sales, they can get you financed and back on the road. We will be back for a 4th car in the next year I'm sure. read more

Nice people. Not pushy, good price on the car. Happy with the deal we made. Would buy from them again.

Don and Leyna are kind people. I seen a Lexus IS 350c online and Don communicated via text quickly. Took a look at it and sent to the Lexus Westminster dealership for a pre purchase inspection ($165) Report came back with brake replacement and filter replacement, Don took care of the repairs. Porters did a great job of getting car reading, they were all nice and friendly. read more

Hi Auto Sales - Car Dealers Near Me - Westminster, California

Bought 2008 Lexus GS 350 on December of 2022 , BLACK EXTERIOR AND BLACK INTERIOR TO BE EXACT VIN: JTHBE96SX80030463 , the deal was smooth they seem like honest people paid CASH THROUGH MY FEDERAL credit union $13,900 later to find out a few days later that check engine light came on , in my head I was like no big deal , took the car to a near by Lexus dealer just to find out that yes that car is shit , the previous owner or hi auto sales overheated car to much to the point where gaskets are bad cylinder 4 misfire coolant leaking in to engine , Lexus recommended a new engine assembly, when I bought the car hi auto sales , told me oh we just replaced the radiator and oil. Which it was done as you can see in the car fax , but that was all a Mickey Mouse temporary repair, sooner or later the check engine was going to come back on . So I return the car I told them the situation, hi auto sales took the car next door to inspected the car by there mechanic he did run the car ob2 scanner yes the code came back up I believe in his machine it was marking bad coolant sensor , they told me they will fix that but I didn't buy it I clearly told both don and his mechanic Lexus clearly stated this car needs a new engine assembly. After minutes of going back and forth they did not want to replace the engine with a used or new on instead they wanted to fix the car with a new coolant sensor , when clearly I showed them the diagnostic sheet of paper from Lexus stating the engine was bad After all I just decided to return the car , and I stopped the check from being cashed by my credit union luckily they hadn't cashed it yet that was a big relief or else I would been fucked and stuck with a lemon car! I've waited 3-4 weeks to see if they put the vehicle back in the market and today 1/9/23 I see they put the vehicle back on there site sneaky snakes!!! And did not even bother mentioning on there site was wrong with the vehicle BTW I PURCHASED THOSE WINDOWS TINTS cost me $500.00 I though you guys where going to removed them lies I hope who ever buys this vehicle inspects this car real GOOD ! Make sure it has a new or used engine assembly I attached a picture and diagnostic report on this review that this review is LEGIT and proof that this car is no good!!!! read more

Hi Auto Sales - PROOF THAT THIS VEHICLE IS NO GOOD AND THAT THIS DEALER IS NOT HONEST ,THIS CAR SHOULD NOT BE SOLD - Car Dealers Near Me - Westminster, California

Great service, bought my first ever car there. The owners were kind enough to guide me step by step.

UPDATE: There are several issues with the Toyota I bought from Hi Auto Sales. I had a mechanic do a full checkup on the car. He told me I need to get all 4 shocks replaced. The 4 shocks will cost me $700, plus labor AND I need an alignment! All this will cost me over $1,000!! Don told me the noise the car made was a minor issue that would only cost a few hundred to fix but that was a lie! The issue turns out to be the shocks! Also, the mechanic told me the tire pressure on the back tire was extremely low. This cars tires needs a special air gun so I had to go to a tire shop to get the air. Guess what they found in the tire! An old NAIL!! They told me it was dangerous to be driving the car around with the tire the way it was. So they had to remove the nail and patch up the tire $$. I can't believe Hi Auto Sales sold me the car with the tire like this... Also, the mechanic found the air filter was very dirty. I need to purchase a new air filter for it $$. Also, when I bought the car, the photos online did not show the cracks on the windshield. The windshield will need an adhesive so the cracks won't spread $$. The photos also did not show the wear and tear on the top of the car and the back of the car. I will also need to get the back tint from the back window removed which will cost me $150 for removal. There are so many bubbles that I cannot see through the back! With all these problems, I ended up paying way more than this high mileage car is worth!! I am not happy after discovering how much extra money I have to pay for this old used car! Old Review: I had an amazing experience at Hi Auto Sales! Don and Leena are both so kind and helpful in answering all questions I had about a 2009 Toyota Camry. I ended up purchasing the car today because I felt I could trust them. They even have the CARFAX on their website and they also show it to you when doing the paperwork. The paperwork process was smooth and I was out the door in about an hour! So far, I am happy with my purchase. I am hoping to buy another car from them in the future! Thank you Don and Leena!! read more

I will attest to some of the other reviews I've read about this place - don't come here for the customer service. HOWEVER, if you know what you want, it's a good deal. Their 'no negotiation' offer was much better than competitors advertised and still lower than what I estimated I could negotiate down at other places. I just bought a car from them and brought a mechanic friend along to check it out. So far so good - the car seems to be in amazing shape. I'm hoping everything turns out for the best and not like some of the bad experiences people have talked about on here. Will update if it doesn't go as planned. read more

Bought my lexus gx here very happy buy the warranty highly recommended!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DO NOT COME HERE!!!! Yikes these people are so RUDE & UNPROFESSIONAL as if we're still in Vietnam or something. Came in for an appraisal & immediately he low ball me (I've been to a few shops prior so got a good ballpark figure). Then told me he can only give me a real appraisal if I sell it today. I told him how can I decide to sell it today if he doesn't even want to give me a real appraisal??? Save your time and go elsewhere. Sooo many shops around much more pleasant & offer great deals. It's embarrassing to see how low some Vietnamese customer service could get - yikes! read more

I live in Arizona and was looking for a specific vehicle with specific model years online within the few nearby states because of growing family and found one Hi Auto Sales had with fairly low miles and seemingly good conditions at a very good price point. I called at 10 in the morning and spoke with Leyna, who was very helpful. She immediately gave me a video walk around upon request. Knowing the common problems this vehicle is prone to having and not being able to inspect it in person, I asked her whether I could have them take the vehicle to a nearby dealer for a pre purchase inspection with specific items on my list closely looked into. She and her husband Don were very easy to work with and brought the vehicle down to a Toyota dealership for inspection the same afternoon at 1:30. I paid for the inspection and got a detailed report. The specific items I wanted to make sure were good all passed with flying colors. They did find a low voltage battery and low brake pads, little things I could have easily taken care of myself. But Don and Leyna offered to put in a new battery and replace all pads (front and back) before the sale and did that the very next day and sent pics of the finished work. They did get a lot inquiries about the vehicle because of its price point and lower miles. But they stayed true with me and marked it as sales pending because I had paid for a pre-purchase inspection even though I never had to pay a deposit. The sale went through within 3 days and Leyna had great communication with me and kept me informed every step of the way. She was very courteous throughout the entire process. I arranged a shipper and got the vehicle within a few days. They were very helpful in after sale support also - they had to drive a couple of hours to the owners who traded the vehicle in to them to get the second set of keys and get a statement of error on a date correction on the title. Again Leyna kept me updated with very good communication every step of the way and sent me anything I needed right away. Overall I had a great experience doing this out of state purchase from them and the vehicle has been working out great for our family. Don and Leyna were very easy to work with and very helpful and accommodating to any requests I had. I would not hesitate to buy another vehicle from them next time! read more

Well, that was an exciting feedback from the owner. The whole point of doing a review is to share the previosly done research or an insight and allow others to make a sound decision on whether to pursue certain services being offered. Prior to posting a review I did a thorough comparison of pricing offered by the local businesses in proximity, as yours. For you to lash out in such a negative manner and attempt to make it personal, just goes to show that on top of your overpriced services, you as a business owner also lack both, character and tact! The great thing is that with your response you've dug your own hole even deeper lol. All in all, my review was simply genuine and objective based on facts. I'm really not here to stroke your ego or solve your low self esteem issues. I'm here to give feedback based on my personal experience, time and research wasted. read more

They're great. I bought my Lexus back in January at a great price. Very happy with my purchase. I just came back today due to my side mirror inside part was broke (not knowing the reason). Don, the owner, was more than happy to replace it for me at no cost. He made sure I walked out happy even though this purchase has been made 6 months ago. definitely recommended! Make sure come to them first before anywhere else read more

I honestly don't even know what to say at this point. I made my first review over a year ago. they responded to that review (and then deleted the original response probably because it had nothing to do with me) we've moved on (or so I thought). here we are a year later and they are sending me harassing direct messages. No wonder they have a terrible rating with BBB. Since he has decided to delete his response to my review I've decided to share the private messages because he needs to be exposed for the person he truly is. Sad part is Don is the owner and if the owner himself behaves in this manner it really speaks volumes for this business. read more

Hi Auto Sales - '16 Scion iM only 16k miles - Car Dealers Near Me - Westminster, California

False advertising! Went to look at the grey Toyota Avalon. Rims are horrible! The left side of the vehicle has enormous scratches! The back of the driver seat is falling apart is literally holding on with a shoe lace! Don't waste your time. Seriously just a bunch of crap at Hi Auto Sales! Supposedly 20 years of experience there! I highly doubt that! Sorry I only speak the truth maybe they should be more honest. read more

Picked up a 2013 FRS from these guys for my wife! She is first time buyer with limited credit, hi auto sales fought the banks alongside us trying different banks over the span of 6 hours getting us approved for an acceptable Apr .

BEWARE DO NOT BUY A VEHICLE FROM THESE PEOPLE!! I looked up Vin. Numbers on two Toyota Avalon's. One had 60,000 miles, it showed up having over 103,000 miles on it. The second Avalon I looked up had 49,000 miles on it. It came up with over 75,000 miles on it. When I chatted on cars.com about this they immediately booted me off the chat. Not only are they dishonest they are breaking the law. read more

Purchased a 2015 Lexus in April 2018. Sale seemed to go smoothly and I was happy with my purchase since I bought the car that I have always wanted. Well, last week, I went to a dealer to purchase a new vehicle and wanted to trade in my Lexus only to find out from the dealer, who obtained the Carfax on my car, that it had been involved in an accident! This information was NEVER disclosed to me when I purchased the vehicle and now I am screwed because no dealer will trade my car in and I was basically told that my car is worthless! I now have to privately sell my car and take a HUGE loss. DO NOT buy from this dealer! They are deceitful and unprofessional! It is also listed on the Carfax that Hi Auto Sales was notified of the accident when they bought the vehicle, so they can not claim that they were not aware of this accident. DO NOT BUY from here. And if you do, ask for a Carfax!!! read more

Buying a new car is generally not a good experience. Dealerships and their employees are usually trying to get you behind the wheel of anything as quickly as possible and make as much money off of you while they're at it. HI auto sales is different. All of their vehicles are used, but they focus on the Toyota/scion/lexus family and have a good selection for the size of their lot. I found a used vehicle they had listed online for a reasonable price, and since the dealership is near my office, I stopped in to check it out. I was greeted by Chris, who had a congenial no-pressure sales approach. He answered all the questions I had and gave me the best price he could offer. After I made up my mind, Don helped me through the paperwork and I was on my way. This will definitely be the first place I visit when I'm looking for another vehicle. Thanks Chris and Don! read more

Plus: The dealer did offer to fix issues I found while having the car inspected a few days after. What I didn't like was that he (salesman/owner) did not allow me to take the vehicle for a pre purchase inspection. I drove from pretty far to come see the vehicle and I preferred to make that drive again. I ended up having to come back two more times for a total of three times. The car had more wear than what I believe was for the price they asked. They also had to keep the car for a week right after I bought it to complete repairs. As for the repairs, they were done but the people hired forgot to tighten a hose for the transmission and just sprayed some areas of poor welding. A plus as that the vehicle was low mileage. They also replaced the tires and rear brake pads. Another thing that wasn't great was that they don't finance businesses. Would I recommend the dealer to my friends? No. I didn't feel the value was there. Overpriced in my opinion. read more

The car I wanted was already a rare find and a high price. This place had what I wanted and more for an amazing deal! Very nice people who didn't want to give me the run around. They have lots cars to sell on a small lot and would love to sell you one as quick as possible. If you're looking for a good deal on a Japanese car, then this is the right place. The only issue I had with them is that they didn't fill up my gas tank before I left. I went back the next day to ask them to fill up my tank and all they offered was a $20 gift card, that's why 4 stars and not 5. read more

I had a great experince buying a vehicle here. They were very friendly. No pressure at all as I snooped around the vehicle pushing and pulling all the dials and knobs. They offered me a fair price for my trade-in. They went out of their way to meet me with the vehicle at a dealership for a pre-purchase inspection! How nice! The financing went smooth, everything was explained very well. It was the best financing experience ever. While we finished up paperwork they cleaned the car inside and out. Overall a great experience. I will come back here when the time comes. read more

My husband was trying to find a very particular model and package of used car, and a friend recommended I try working through a broker. I did and within a week he'd found us the car we wanted - at Hi Auto Sales. The price was negotiated by the broker with us and we drove down and got to the car lot at 9am right when they opened. We were shown the car and the manager was a little frustrated that his team hadn't moved the car out from the pile of other cars so we could easily test drive it. The team got the car out and accessible while they helped another woman who had arrived just before we did. Test drove the car, bought the car. Paperwork took about 30 minutes (no financing) and we drove off the lot. Downsides: the car is only a 2016 and has low miles but the front passenger window motor doesn't sound great and the car came to us with a rear cargo area cover that didn't work properly. Minor things but for the low age and mileage of the car I would have expected it to be closer to perfect. I would have expected them to test and catch all these things. The break fluid was kind of low when we were checking things on the lot and they topped that off for us when we asked. Staff was overall very friendly and professional. I would not mind working with them again, but it's a used car lot so you should still try to be extremely diligent yourself. read more
