Very disappointed with my experience at Gold Star GMC in Salinas…read more I was upfront with Patrick about my challenged credit and the vehicle I wanted. He told me he could work with me and gave me confidence that he could get me approved. I was also concerned about my credit being run everywhere. Shortly after submitting the application, I received alerts showing approximately nine credit inquiries from different lenders. After all those inquiries, I received no proactive follow-up call or text. I had to contact Patrick myself to find out what was happening. When he finally responded, I was told they could approve me for something around $25,000 and was asked, "Do you like Jeep Wranglers?", not the vehicle/options we had originally discussed. I understand that dealerships sometimes need to shop financing around, especially with challenged credit. My issue is the expectations that were set beforehand, the number of credit submissions, the lack of communication afterward, and then being redirected to completely different vehicles. Based on my experience, I would not shop here again. If you finance through this dealership, ask how many lenders they plan to send your application to before authorizing anything.

What we soon discovered is finding these cars in stock with the options we wanted was not as easy as we thought it would be. Enter Cisco.He was an absolute star in finding our car. We were picky, not only about color, but also wheels and extras.What we wanted seemed to be a unicorn, but he persisted and found our dream car within a couple of weeks. What wasn't on the car he found was easily added at the dealership after delivery. Cisco was patient, knowledgeable, honest and kind. We never felt pressured to buy even though we drove several SUV's to find the model that worked for us. We could not have asked for a better car buying experience. Cisco kept us informed throughout the process. Marco handled the financial aspects and got us out the door with our new car quickly. Kudos to Toyota Salinas for a day stress free buying experience!

I am writing to share feedback regarding my service experience today. I brought my vehicle in for a…read morerecall notice and was notified by phone at 10:30 AM that the vehicle was ready, pending the completion and printing of the technician's paperwork. After waiting for 30 minutes with no update, I inquired with the service advisor and was told the paperwork was still processing. Following another 30-minute delay, I approached a different staff member, who informed me that I could have proceeded directly to the cashier. While I appreciate the vehicle being ready on time, the lack of internal communication and incorrect guidance resulted in an unnecessary one-hour delay. Clearer instructions regarding the checkout process would have significantly improved this experience. I hope this feedback helps streamline your communication workflow for future customers.

Do not purchase service plan when you purchase your car…read more I paid $2500 for a 5 year service plan... I've had my car for three years and it turns out that I was only allotted six oil changes during that time. The service counter quoted me $174 for my oil change. Quick Math tells me I was ripped off I paid over $2500 for service that would've cost me $1000... I asked to see my contract and it clearly says five years and nowhere does it say in plain English that you are only allotted six. Looking at the contract, it looks like I had 12 oil changes for five years Obviously these guys are snakes and will tell you anything to sell. I'm mad at myself for falling for this scam, but I'm more mad at them for pushing people to buy stuff that is clearly a rip off. Obviously always read the fine print

Update: I had a very negative experience that was ultimately resolved in a positive way…read more My car needed routine maintenance and I got upsold unnecessary work, which was misrepresented to me as that routine maintenance. In response to my very negative review about that experience, the dealership escalated their response up the chain, at first trying to justify what I experienced, but ultimately offering a seemingly sincere apology, promising the dealership would make sure their staff did not behave in this way going forward, refunding the upsold work, and offering a free future service. So while my initial experience was very negative, I was happy with the final resolution, and the most senior person who engaged me in the end really listened and said all the right things in response to my concerns. In summary, while my initial experience was very negative, I was impressed by the dealership's ultimate response, and maybe most impressed by the time they took to really listen to my concerns and seemingly take them seriously. How to rate this overall experience is a bit challenging, but I'm going to focus on the positive resolution rather than the challenging experience beforehand.

The service guy Mikki P is an aggressive bully and a documented liar. That last is not my opinion,…read morebut rather exactly what Volkswagen Corporate said. Background: We received a notice direct from Volkswagen that our warranty, which had expired in 2025 on a car we had bought from this same dealership, was being extended a full 5 years to 2030, for one item only, the clock-spring (in the steering wheel, controls airbag, cruise control, several other items), which we had already had to pay for out of pocket after the warranty expired once, and had already broken a second time. We took the notice card from Volkswagen which clearly had the VIN number of our car on it to schedule an appointment to get it fixed, and bully / thug Mikki nastily refused. He said our warranty expired in 2025 and he didn't care what the card said he wasn't going to honor it and basically that we were wasting his time. I should have figured something like that would happen, given that they lied to our face when we bought the car years before, costing us an extra $1000 on that sale. I called Volkswagen Corporate immediately after the insulting conversation with liar Mikki, and they confirmed that our VIN number was in the system and that any dealer would see that exact warranty extension in the dealer database, but that there was nothing they could do to get an unscrupulous, dishonest, deceitful dealer trying to skimp on service, who was dedicated to cheating customers to honor the warranty, and advised me to see another dealer. I then called the Service Manager Joe Silva who said he stood by bully Mikki and he wasn't going to honor the Volkswagen warranty extension either. Completely useless. That he even has the word "service" in his title is a joke. (He and Mikki should be mopping up spilled soda in the backroom of a truck stop Burger King at 3 am for minimum wage.) Instead we called Santa Cruz VW who could not have been more professional and welcoming. They looked us up in the system, confirmed the VIN, THEN because my daughter had to drive from far out of town, even though we live only a mile from the Cardinale incompetents, prioritized the warranty repair and had the car fixed in an amazing 90 minute turnaround. So we got to drive 60 miles round trip instead of 2, but given their horrible customer service attitude if we'd had to drive 3 times as far we'd have been better off. I am absolutely going to buy my next car from Santa Cruz VW, and am advising everyone I know to avoid any business with the name "Cardinale" associated with it. By the way, read some other Yelp reviews from this place, and you'll see that automatic denial of ANY warranty extension is what they do, again and again. I was amazed that loud talking hostile aggressive Mikki could stand right there and deny an official notice from Volkswagen Corporate, put in place specifically because this part had a huge failure rate for a decade, and simply ignore it. He is clearly in the wrong profession, and I think he would shine working as a bouncer in a seedy bar where he can intimidate 90 lb skid row drunks and roll them for quarters and dimes in a garbage filled back alley after they pass out. That any business would employ him to interface with the public is beyond comprehension; actually, it would be like employing a 9 year-old boy with a magnifying glass to "interface" with an ant colony.

I was greeted by a awesome sales man but don't remember his name at the moment. He let me test drive a impala 2008 , which I did not like so he offered a little something different and we took a 2010 Honda accord and I was sold by this one. It was the best car I have driven the past months . One problem it had 112,000 miles and we want something under 50,000 so he showed us a 2009 with close miles to what we wanted . It was getting late and my son was with the babysitter so we had to leave. I left really happy with the service . I did not get pressured by the sales man like other lots around town where they want you to just drive off or go in the office to soon. I will be looking for a Honda accord 2008 & up with under 50,000 miles and be purchasing it . I hope the car lot can get one soon , I will definitely be returning if I find a matching car to my needs . Sorry I can't release his name wish I got a business card but was so busy test driving all there awesome cars. I forgot to add . The man that helped me out also offered me a quick approximate of what I would pay with a car worth (xx) amount and he said a guy has gotten one and took it 5 years around 270 a month. Which of course is just a estimate . But most other places I go that I ask always want me to go in there office , which I do not like at all .
