Do you want to buy a car but hesitate because the whole "car buying" experience makes you want to take a shower? Then this information is for you. Drop what you are doing and give Collin at Mini of Monrovia a call or send him a text. You won't go wrong. He is straight forward and professional. He knows what he is doing. He has been at this business for 10 years. If you have shopped for cars recently you have undoubtedly noticed that, although nice enough people, a lot of the car salesman are inexperienced and have not been trained well. It makes a difference when you get one who knows the job. Collin is that guy. Just when you are exhausted from the test drive and landing on an agreed price, and you are at your most exhausted state, they drag you into finance. Well, Mini of Monrovia has that covered, too. Branden, the finance man, is a gem. He looks the part of a money guy with a dapper suit and neat hair. He will take care of you quickly with just the right amount of friendly banter. It was a pleasure to work with him. Mini is a premium brand and it lands in a pretty solid price range when you consider you are getting German engineering. None of the small cars and SUVS in this price range will give you the kind of interior quality, fun handling, Stop reading this and give Mini of Monrovia a call....and ask for Collin, then insist on working with Brenden in finance. Not to scare you, but if you don't call them, you might wind up in a Ford Fiesta driving slow in the fast lane with a faint trail of smoke trailing behind you. And you don't want that, do you?

Collin was very helpful in getting a new Mini Cooper S cabriolet this past month. He is very passionate about Mini and knows everything about the brand. This location for the dealer has a strong selection of colors and options and has a bit of flexibility on prices since it's a bit farther from LA. Ask for Collin if you want a fun car that saves gas compared to many other options in the marketplace.

I purchased my used Model S here. Working with Collin was great. He was friendly, responsive, and had everything ready very quickly. Unfortunately, the dealership's preparation of the vehicle was a completely different story. The detailers did an awful job. Attached is a photo of what the hood looked like the first time I saw it in direct sunlight. The entire car is covered in polishing marks and swirl marks from a terrible buffing job. They actually burned through the car clear coat so my car will need to be professionally repainted. The interior was also absolutely drenched with carpet cleaning products or odor eliminators that left the car smelling like burnt rubber and chemicals for days after purchase. After I drove the vehicle home, I called the dealership about the paint issues and was told someone would get back to me. I never received a call. If you decide to buy a car here, be prepared to spend thousands fixing the paint and cleaning up the mess they made

Just bought a car here today. Collin was our sales rep and he was amazing. Did everything exactly as promised. Brandon was the finance guy and he was fast, efficient and honest (I never thought I would say that about a finance guy). I would highly recommend this dealership.

My very first car purchase was completed perfectly with Collin's help! I bought a 2023 Mini Cooper 2-Door CPO. At first, I thought the service at the dealership for a CPO car might not be very attentive. However, from email communication to our in-person meeting, the test drive, and the entire purchase process, Collin was consistently prompt, courteous, and proactive in his responses and handling of everything. Moreover, the small issues I mentioned during the test drive were already taken care of when I picked up the car. I was really touched! Thank you for giving me such a pleasant experience buying my very first car (and of course, my MINI is perfect too!). P.S. I really appreciate that he took photos for us and captured the moment of our very first car.

The Best Car Buying Experience! Ask for Collin Cocores! When my 18-year-old Mini Cooper finally took its last breath, Sandro Parra at Avus Autosport recommended that I call his friend Collin Cocores at MINI of Monrovia. I live much closer to downtown LA, so this wasn't the most convenient drive, but I am so glad I made the trip. I'll be honest, my first Mini buying experience years ago at Nick Alexander MINI was stressful and took almost eight hours. This time was the complete opposite. From the very first phone call, Collin was approachable, kind, and genuinely enthusiastic about all things MINI. He took the time to listen to what I wanted, explained my options clearly, and made me feel confident I'd be taken care of. When I arrived at the dealership, everything went exactly as he promised. My friend and I got there around 10:30 a.m., and by 2 p.m., we were done. I was driving away in a beautiful new MINI -- even better than I expected for the price. The entire process, including the test drive and paperwork, was smooth and stress-free. Branden Razzouk over at BMW finance was also wonderful -- friendly, funny, and just a joy to work with. Both Collin and Branden made what is usually a tedious, high-pressure process feel easy and genuinely enjoyable. I've never said that about buying a car before! Collin was professional, informative, and had a great sense of humor throughout the process. He even surprised me with a MINI stuffed animal - Spike the BullDog and took photos of me with my new car and the big ribbon on top -- such a thoughtful touch. When I bought my first MINI years ago DTLA, I barely got a smile from the sales team. This experience couldn't have been more different. If you're thinking about buying a MINI, go see Collin Cocores at MINI of Monrovia. He's the real deal -- honest, passionate, and a true MINI enthusiast who makes sure you leave happy.

Collin is the one to look for . Very helpful easy going giving the best price that my friends go home with her lovely beast car . Collin taking care of us with his professional.

If you need or want a new car get a MINI. If you gonna get a MINI go here to MINI of Monrovia. If you going to MINI of Monrovia see Colin. He helped me get into a new Cooper Convertible JCW for my wife and daughter to use. Super selection and personalized service. Almost 100% ready to go when I got to the dealership only sign and drive, the details and deal all done by text before hand. This is my 12th MINI!!! You read that right... #12. See of the pictures but the newest one I got is the Grey Convertible JCW. Get a MINI, don't have FOMO.... YOLO. Again... ask for Colin.

Bought my Silverado 2500 here! Shopped around at local dealerships but the service and attention I…read moregot from the team ( Mike and Andrew) was what sealed the deal. I would totally recommend bringing your business to Sierra if you're looking for a Chevrolet.

I'm updating my review to reflect what's happened since my last post…read more My truck has been at the dealership's service department since June 25. I finally picked it up on Friday, July 10, hoping everything had been resolved. Unfortunately, on Sunday, July 12, after only a short time of having the truck back, the check engine light came on again. Before picking up the truck, I specifically asked that all diagnostic trouble codes be addressed--not just one issue. My understanding was that there were multiple fault codes, including the turbo gasket, the auxiliary coolant heater pump, and other related issues. Unfortunately, it appears only one repair was completed, and now the check engine light has returned. I reached out to the dealership again but have not yet heard back from Edwin. I do want to recognize Danny, the service advisor, for taking the time to contact me. Even though he was off on Monday, he reached out to let me know he would be back on Tuesday and would do his best to arrange a loaner vehicle. I truly appreciate his communication and willingness to help. The most difficult part of this experience is that I purchased this truck nearly a month ago specifically to tow my food trailer for my business. Instead of being able to work, the truck has spent much of that time in the repair shop. As a small business owner, every day without my tow vehicle means lost income, while I'm still making payments on a truck I haven't been able to rely on. I understand that repairs can sometimes be complex, but I simply hope the dealership will thoroughly diagnose and repair all of the underlying issues this time instead of addressing only one fault at a time. I purchased this truck because I needed a dependable vehicle for work, and I just want it to be safe, reliable, and operating the way it should. I sincerely hope my next update is a positive one.

Rudy has always gone above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of, from scheduling my appointments to ensuring I'm happy with the service I receive. Time and time again, he has shown me how much he genuinely cares about his customers, and I cannot thank him enough for the exceptional customer service he continues to provide. Rudy, I am more grateful than you could ever know for your attention, your kindness, and all your help over the years. You are truly a huge asset to your company, and I hope they recognize how valuable you are. As for the work done on my car, I am extremely happy with the results. My car drives better than ever, and I highly recommend their service. With that said, I would like to mention one issue that could easily have been avoided. This was a minor detail and does not change my overall feelings about the experience, but after I returned the loaner and went to get my car, I noticed that my car was sitting in the scorching heat and direct sunlight. My car does not have tinted windows, and because it is black with leather seats, the interior becomes extremely hot. When I got inside, the car felt like a furnace, the steering wheel was so hot that I could barely hold it without burning my hands. I was surprised that the staff at MINI left my car sitting there. It was a little disconcerting to see the lack of consideration shown in how my car was parked and returned to me, when it could easily have been avoided by parking the car in the shade right next to me, as I could see the other cars parked in the shade. I ended up driving over to BMW next door and speaking with Rocky, one of the service advisors, who kindly offered to run my car through the car wash to help cool it down. I have known Rocky since his days at MINI, and he has always been extremely knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. He has consistently made my experiences exceptional, and I truly appreciate his kindness and willingness to help. Overall, I am extremely pleased with the mechanical work performed on my car at Mini. I love driving Mini's, I wouldn't drive anything else and would highly recommend the MINI/BMW dealership in Monrovia to anyone. I look forward to continuing to do business with them in the future. Rudy, thank you again for everything you do. Your dedication to your customers makes a real difference, you are one of the main reasons I continue to bring my car here.

It smells fresh, leathery, and overpriced. I love going outside, walking the lot, and seeing the BMW's lined up... hungry for a new owner like dogs waiting at the animal shelter. I love waking around the showroom, going into the elevator to see if there are any BMW's upstairs as employees watch me step inside and giggle to themselves. You need a passkey... this was the metaphor for my visit: Entering the elevator, having the doors close, and going nowhere. I love asking two employees in the office by the elevator if there are BMW's upstairs and being told "I can't believe you made it all the way back here without talking to a salesperson. Go to the front counter." Yes, I obviously made it to the elevator, I agree with you entirely, and I guess customer service isn't in your wheelhouse of skills. I love walking my happy butt back to the front counter, which seems like Groundhog Day. Have I been here before? Yes. Is there anyone here to direct me? No. I love waiting. What I did love is driving to a different dealer that actually valued my time, who put me into a 5 series, and made the entire experience enjoyable. That was not BMW of Monrovia.

During my daughter's last oil change, Mike let us know she would soon need front brakes. He explained her current brake pad thickness, where it should be, the expected cost, and how long the service would take. At the time, brakes weren't in the budget, but because Mike gave us all the information upfront, we were able to plan accordingly. We scheduled the appointment as recommended, came a little early, and Mike was ready to take care of us. I really appreciate how honest and helpful he is, without ever making you feel pressured. And let's NOT forget Yadira! She is just as amazing. The two of them are truly a dynamic duo! They make every visit a great experience and are always professional, welcoming, and attentive.

They did a…read moregreat job in replacing my exhaust manifold that had cracked and was making a very large noise when driving it. They deserve five stars +. Now getting to the reason I have rated this location two stars. I drove down from the Bay Area to the San Gabriel Valley to visit family. The car started making this loud noise after I arrived in SoCal. Sierra Subaru was the closest to me so I took it there. Alexander was the point person and right away identified it had something to do with the exhaust. He let me know it would be about two to three hours to diagnose the issue. In about two hours he sent me an email with a picture of the manifold cracked and also a video that I couldn't access along with the cost which total was $5500. I thought this is quite a bit to pay and started researching warranties. No mention of coverage from Alexander. I then called my home Subaru in the Bay Area and they said yes you are still covered because the Hybrid is a clean air vehicle so Subaru extended the original 80,000 miles by 70,000. Also the State of California has a 15 year or 150,000 mile warranty for anything to do with EV and exhaust systems. I let Alexander know and he said he wasn't sure if it was covered and he would find out and get back to me. Also he would need to order the exhaust manifold because they didn't have it in stock which would take three to four business days and I was leaving back to the Bay in a couple of days. He never called me back so I ended up calling Subaru of America's consumer advocacy line. They called the dealer got Alexander on the line and magically the warranty was confirmed. While I waited for Alexander's call I called Subaru in Puente Hills to see if they had the manifold. They didn't but they were very helpful in locating three dealers in the area that did. One being Subaru Long Beach. When I had Alexander on the phone I mentioned that Long Beach had one and he said "well they usually won't sell to us" I asked him well can you check? Turns out they would sell it to Sierra and someone from Sierra picked it up the next morning and it was fixed that afternoon. Like I said the mechanics were amazing but I wish Alexander would have been more proactive and forthright in the process.

Jonathan was a pleasant fellow, but it got awkward at the end. I contacted Jonathan about a Kia. He was straight forward with his email and gave me a GREAT price without the "dealer and accessory fees" that they try to BS customers with. We get down there and my daughter drives the car and falls in love with the car. We immediately go into the paperwork. The first red flag is that they dont "work" with Arrowhead CU??? Its a lender, you can always make it work. So I humor them and let them price me for their lender. Of course its a higher rate which they will make money on it (its called a reserve). But dont worry, it will be an "options loan" which I have 3 days. Legally I have more time (just FYI guys). I dont like the feel of this, so I call Arrowhead and explain. They get a laugh out of the situation and tell me we can just cash them a check for the purchase order. I then go back in and tell them that I will bring back a check for the remaining price of the car. This is where it gets awkward..... Indie who is the manager says, I am sorry, I cant sell you the car because it has a recall that has no remedy. There is no remedy because the part hasnt arrive yet (of course I called Kia Support). And, if it was that much of a concern, why did you have it on the lot to begin with??? LOL..... After their apologies they humor me more and tell me to see if there is anything else I might want. In the meantime, Jonathan disappears and just abandons us...LOL... My daughter is crying, and it was a waste of a 3hr drive (to and from). Andddd within 5 minutes of us getting denied the car, and transportation truck it there to pick up the car...LOL.... Who knows where they are taking it to, probably the new owner who is using their lender, and paying for there protection and accessory fee..... I dont need the owner/manager to piggy back on this review and tell me how sorry they are and how there was a misunderstanding, etc. Just be more transparent with your customers who are not educated on buying vehicles. Remember it can be your loved one going into a dealer to buy a car. I will be sure to share my experience on multiple platforms which I use in hopes that doesnt happen to another Dad....... Update: The car in which we were in the process of purchasing, and that was later picked up by a truck within 5 minutes of being told that the Manager "felt bad if anyone drove it", was listed on a dealers website in Utah. The vehicle is now listed for 3k more. All this in less than 24hrs. I guess Safety only pertains to Californians? LOL
