I cannot say enough good things about North County Auto. I have been buying used cars for decades and I have never had such a great experience as I had with these guys. I bought a 2019 Malibu from them. Good price. I made a deal for some extras like new tires and a couple repairs. They accommodated my ask; and on their own found a few other things that needed attention. Without any extra charge they relentlessly pursued fixing the extra items. It took a few weeks to work through these extras and all along they offered to take the car back; and offered me some cash back if I wasn't happy. In the end they never gave up on making good on the extra improvements. They completed them; and the car runs great. I couldn't be happier. I will always look to North County Auto first when I buy my next car! Robb M. read more

I bought a great Toyota Sequoia for a good deal. It was actually priced a less than all of the similar Sequoias on Facebook. After I bought the car, I was surprised to find all of the service records! The car had been serviced at the dealer and had only one owner. What a delight! Yeah the paint job isn't the best, bet mechanically this car is soooo so clean! These guys got bad reviews from pure haters thats what i think! read more

My son and I bought a 2000 Dodge Durango from North County Auto this month. Unfortunately, we didn't check it out fully ourselves and found that the engine had an issue that we were not aware of. Even though we had declined the 2 day return policy and didn't have a warranty, North County was very accommodating and asked us to return the vehicle to them so that they could repair it. They were able to locate a hard to find part and got the vehicle repaired in less than a week. I should have checked it out more fully considering it's a 24 year old car - that's on me. They were so very helpful and friendly during what could have been a really bad experience. Truly appreciate it. (And the car is running perfectly now!) Thank you! read more

Best experience ever. Sonny was beyond helpful, gracious, and patient. I found the car online and it was as described and a GREAT DEAL! If your are looking for a great deal in a used car- make this your first stop. read more

These guys are very honest. They sold me a car and I'm extremely happy with my purchase. Very reasonably priced cars.

Customer service is great! They had so many vehicles and were kind enough to show me everything that was within my request and budget. I definitely would recommend them! read more

I found the car that I've been looking for throughout San Diego/Oceanside area forever, and found it here. Great working with MJ, Mo, and Ham! They made sure that the customer service I received was top notch, and they were very attentive to my needs. Every issue I had with the vehicle was addressed, and I drove off with the car I wanted! read more

Never go here . Aweful service They con you into making a good Yelp review then screw you over the next step. read more

Wish I could give this place zero stars. They sold my Marine Son a dodge Ram, he owned it for 28 days and it blew the rear seal. The full coverage "warranty" will only cover 2500 for the engine replacement. Dealership won't do anything to make it right. Avoid at all costs. read more

Don't go to this dealership. I showed up and i can tell all the cars were on the lot for like 6 months, covered in cob webs and rust. Yet the dealer was still trying to sell them overpriced. I tried to negotiate on one car and the manager was like "yEaH uH sOrRy mAn thiS lOt dOesEnt mAkE aLot oF mOnEy i CanT rEaLly nEgoTiaTe". Then take take the deal then?? I didnt even low ball. They were trying to sell a 20 year old mercedes for 10k lol. They couldnt even upload full resolution photos of the cars on their website. Its like a picture of the car on their computer screen. Yeah no wonder you guys cant sell any cars read more

Mj is a true gentleman and professional, he went above and beyond to help me and answer all my questions regarding the vehicle I purchased with a great deal! Matt was awesome as well. North County Auto I am truly satisfied, thank you for helping me out and I highly recommend this place. Much love and respect on my end. read more

I don't think they like to sell cars for cash as they do not respond to my dozens of inquiries. Seller does not respond.

They were great, very polite and the whole process was wonderfully painless. Ten out of ten would shop here again! You guys were great! read more

I have never written a negative review but this dealership was that bad... they Had my car for 15 days working on two parts that they told me they had in stock. I have a third party warranty and Robert kept promising me he was doing everything he could to move it along and that the ball was in their court. I went to the dealer to do a face to face with them once the 2 week mark hit and he told me he hadn't been able to get ahold of them again after hours of time on hold for several days. I walked away believing him, like you would want to at a ford dealership that is servicing your car, walked to my van to find it was covered in spider webs, dirty, and tucked in the furthest spot in the back. After seeing this I decided to give the warranty company a call. They picked up on the very first ring, and told me there was no claim started on the van, nor has anyone contacted them about starting one. I walked back inside and talked to Robert, meanwhile calling the insurance company, they picked up on the first ring again and I put the phone on speaker while confirming that there was no claim ever started in front of Robert. He froze up and started to ignore me when I passed him the phone to talk to the warranty company and was turning his back saying he was too busy. I could not believe that he lied to my face like that. Surprise surprise The very next day after calling him out about his two weeks of lying to me, the van was ready to be picked up. Went to pick it up and it was as dirty as it's ever been, and the battery was totally dead. When I asked if they normally wash the cars they said yes they do but forgot about this one. I called the manager several times for in the following days to tell him about my experience with Robert and not even he had the decency to call me back regarding what happened. Needless to say I will be happily taking my 3 Fords to another dealership, or when making a new purchase. read more

My brother was in much need of a car and I heard about north county auto so i told him about it and we went to check it out. As we got there we were greeted right away by Moe. Moe answered all the questions we had, let us test drive the cars,great customer service. My brother ended up leaving with a Nissan Altima that day. Few weeks later my niece was in need of a car so I took her to see Moe. He didn't have any cars she was interested in so he sent us to the other lot across the street. When we arrived we were greeted by Abdullah, he was so patient with her do to her being picky. I think we went back 3 times because she couldn't find a car she liked. Overall I'd send more friend and family to see Moe and Abdullah. read more

Horrible experience. Drove from L.A to this place only to find cars were not what they appeared to be in pictures at all. MJ told me the car I was interested in had a dent on the rear passenger door and it was clearly smashed in when my wife and I saw it. An employee was still actually trying to tell me that it wasn't, it was just a dent,lol! And the cars are parked so closely together on the lot you can barely walk. Maybe that's how the car I was interested in got "just a dent." Don't waste your time here like I did. read more

Just purchased a car from them. Friendly service. Cars are in great condition. I highly recommend stopping by and taking a look.

Great service! Employees were very helpful and not pushy toward purchasing the car like other dealerships and for a fair price. Happy with my purchase and excited to drive my car off the lot read more

Had a great experience here. I worked with Mo who was awesome, and everyone else I encountered here was friendly, helpful, and cool. They lived up to every promise made when making a deal on my truck...highly recommend!! read more

Stay as far away from this dealership as possible. They present as being honest decent people but don't be fooled. I had been looking at a car for a few months but the price was a little higher than I wanted to pay for a first car for my new driver. After some negotiations we came to a price I was comfortable with. We had an agreement on price and that they would hold the car until Monday so I could have it inspected by a mechanic. I called the mechanic Monday morning but they did not have an appointment available until Tuesday. I texted the gentleman I had been working with at 8:30 Monday morning to find out what time Tuesday would work for them to have the vehicle inspected. He never responded to that text and instead sent me a text at 5:55 pm that the car had been sold. Stay away from this dealership, their shady business practices show that they cannot be trusted. read more

I found a car on Auto Trader being sold by North County Auto in Oceanside. I worked with a salesman and was told the story about this older car with very low miles. I asked about known maintenance problems, condition of tires ect. I was lied to about the car! When I got it, in Arizona, the air conditioner didn't work and required several hundred dollars in repair (It of course blew cold air at the time of purchase, but it had a bandaid repair done under the dash, which broke within 100 miles). The check engine light came on after 120 miles driving and it turns out they had only temporarily turned it off to sell it. The tires were from 2011 and so dry rotted that I had two flat tires in the first two weeks and yesterday had to buy 4 new tires! The car was over priced and they said it was in perfect condition, and over blue book because of the extremely low miles. I have put $1,700 into this car in the last 3 weeks after I paid over Blue Book. I did have the car checked out prior to buying, had it test driven and did a video walk through. I feel like I was lied to, cheated and scammed. I would NOT recommend ANYONE using them for car service, sales or trust them with telling the truth! read more

North County Auto - Looks good from the outside.... - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Oceanside, California

Very great experience!They were honest, helpful, and not at all pushy. I wasn't looking for a specific car but I had a very tight budget. MJ was very helpful letting me know my options while keeping my budget in mind.I left completely satisfied. It was definitely a breath of fresh air after dealing with my fair share of fast talking pushy sales people. I definitely recommend coming here read more

Do not buy a car from this dealership. They sold my daughter a car for $6,200 that needed over $5,500 in repairs. They told her the car had no leaks, we took it to Hoen Honda for an inspection because it was leaking oil right from the first night she parked it at her apartment. They found 4 places it was leaking oil from, & several other things that were wrong with it. Ham at North County Auto said he spoke to the manager and they would give her $4,000 for the car. She bought it from them for $6,200 plus the registration etc. They initially said they'd have their "mechanic" look at it to see if they could fix just the oil leaks, however their mechanic isn't even a "licensed mechanic" (& they told her and I that, not to mention they wouldn't fix anything else that was wrong with it). We traded their piece of crap car in for a better car from a real car dealership because I didn't want to deal with an auto dealer who lied about there not being any oil leaks, & offered to give us back $2,200 less than we paid for a their 2 weeks earlier. read more

This review is for North County Auto, the used car dealership at 515 Oceanside Blvd, Oceanside, CA and not other businesses with similar names like North County Auto Service, or North County Auto Body and Mechanical which are at other addresses in the area, be very careful reading reviews. Also, don't be fooled by their website and it's pretense, it's just another shady used car place, imo. Drove down to Oceanside from Murrieta to check out a car we'd seen listed on line, a scarce model we were likely to buy, but were extremely disappointed with the whole experience there. We discovered that we'd been fooled by their on-line MO/baited. Crumby area to begin with, a corner auto lot that was crammed full of all older cars that were spaced so tightly that you could barely walk through the rows, we wondered how they were able to get the vehicles out to test drive. There was no place to park without blocking the only free lane through the middle. Opening car doors must cause damage, and/or damage the cars on each side. Most cars had warranty papers on the dash with " As Is " checked off, no warranty. Most cars were filthy, seemed unmoved for a very long time. It was like nothing was being sold. No-one came out to us. Went to the small office to find the door propped open, but was empty. No sign said 'be right back', I called out a few times. Assumed that whoever was supposed to be there was out on a test drive ? The specific car we wanted to drive was there, so we continued to wait. We were about to leave because no-one showed up, and we had a bad feeling about the place from what we were seeing on the lot. The office had security camera screens, and most of our waiting was by the open office door, so we felt certain no-one was there / we couldn't have been missed. As we were heading to our car to leave a young guy called out to us. He was the same person who was sitting in his car off the lot on Oceanside Blvd, talking on his cell, who never acknowledged us the whole time we were there. Assumed he was a local, or just parked there, because he'd looked back at me a number of times but never smiled, held up a finger, got out of the car, or in any way indicated that he was associated with the dealership. Young guy, sweats and sneakers, did mention that he was on an 'insurance' call for all that time in some effort to explain why we'd been completely ignored. We asked to test drive the car, we'd waited after all, he would pull the car out for us, it was in the front of other cars so nothing needed to be moved first to get to it. The car did not start, it barely turned and didn't sound right, he kept trying. He ran in to get a jump-pak and popped the hood, and tried again, and again and again but the car wasn't starting. Guy did not seem to understand that there was something wrong with the car other than the battery. He called someone to ask if there was a problem with this particular vehicle but by then we'd decided to not to get in it, or to ever return, and we said goodbye. Had another person been there they may have been more professional, however the entire operation seemed pretty sketchy and whoever is allowing this kid to run the shop alone apparently doesn't care much either. I'd had my eye on another vehicle that has been for sale for over a year, btw, finally made it in to check it out because of the newer listing we were there for. It was sitting in the middle of the lot, in a condition that was certainly not what had been pictured on-line for so long. I don't know what's going on here, but we now know to never consider anything listed at this business, it was a complete waste of time. That there was only one person 03/09/2023, that the person was 'on break' for so long, or whatever else management or owner might say, or answers about this particular car not starting, have already been considered, our time was definitely wasted. We left work early at 4pm to drive through rush hour to inspect / test drive with a plan to purchase the following day had it driven well. It was upsetting and felt the need to add to the reviews to let people know what we found here. Re-read the reviews and determine whether or not they were intended for this location ! read more

I am an active duty Marine stationed on Camp Pendleton. I bought a 2004 ram 1500 from these guys. Got given a 6 month "bumper to bumper" warranty that was supposed to cover the engine, transmission, and drive train. 28 days into owning the truck the rear seal blew casing the truck to need a new engine. Found out the warranty only covers 2500 dollars for repairs. Dealership ducked my calls and texts for weeks. When I was finally able to get a hold of them I was told they were not going to do anything at all to make this situation right. Wish I could give negative 5 stars as that is what they deserve. Avoid this place at all costs they don't care about their customers only Turning a profit. read more

do not go here! mechanics are not licensed! you will get a lemon car! people here are absolutely rude af too when you start asking questions! terrible! terrible! terrible! go somewhere where the mechanics actually know what they are doing and not just bandaging things up! when a mechanic bandages things up, you can end up in a cad accident due to faults in the car, which would be the mechanics fault at this dealer! i can guarantee you that this company won't help if god forbid you get in an accident the same day you get your car! apparently others have had issues with these people too! smh! whatever you do, just don't buy from this place! do your research on the mechanics in any shop! ask for the mechanics certifications before they work on any of your vehicles! why would this dealership have uncertified mechanics anyway?! because they are scamming people! duh! read more

I test drove 3 cars and settled on the one I liked. Ham was friendly and not Pushy. After negotiating on the price I put down a deposit and came back to finalize the sale with MJ. MJ noticed the radio was not operating properly and gave me an additional discount. Thanks MJ. I will definitely recommend them to my friends and family. read more
