Came in to North State Auto to upgrade from my Mazda 3 to something a bit nicer and faster. After much research and help from Thomas, Tim, and David, I finally settled on a beautiful 2015 Lexus RCF. Car is in perfect condition, clean, and fast. Their team helped me with my trade, and got me into this beautiful car! Thank you guys!

I bought a car from North State Auto in Nov. 2016. Less than 2 months later, the car started having problems. And it hasn't stopped since. I paid $27,000 for a 2011 Land Rover. A "great deal" the sales guy said. I've spend almost 10k on repairs and maintenance but mostly, on diagnostic work. Trying to figure out why it won't pass a smog test(??). I can't renew the registration without a smog and without a current registration, I can't drive it. So I bought another car. The Land Rover just sits there. I still owe 8k on it so I pay $330 a month for a car that I can't drive and don't feel right selling to any decent human being. FML....I think the fair thing to do would be for them allow me a trade or a partial refund of some sort.

Penny test.  My 1 day old truck fails on every tire.

I bought a 2019 Ford Ranger with 32,000 from this business. The buying process was quick and easy. The service was spectacular. Maurice was awesome. However, the next day after buying my truck it started to rain and I noticed it seriously lacked traction. Shame on me, this is the first time I examined the tires. Turns out they were extremely worn. I'm no expert, but I used the penny test as my basis for measurement. It failed the penny test on every tire. I called North State Auto and they informed me it's company policy to not replace tires unless they are below 4/32. I decided to have the truck independently evaluated at a tire store. They rated my tires at 3,3,3,4. They also informed me it starts to become unsafe driving on tires with such low tread. 2 is the CalTrans LEGAL limit. North State Auto sold me a car with tire tread that was only 1mm over the legal limit. Yes, it's technically over the legal limit, but it's that tread depth is still not exactly considered safe by any tire expert. I called North State Auto again the next day to inform them of the safety hazard. They informed me at this point that it is company policy not to replace any tires at 3 or higher. They told me they would get me new tires at the company discounted rate. And they would install them for me for free. I'm so disappointed to be forced to buy 4 new tires 3 days after I bought the truck. I feel stupid for not checking, but I also feel ripped off. On a side note...I've currently been at North State Auto now for over 2hrs and 40mins waiting for them to change 4 tires.... The car sales experience is wonderful. But beware of the shop department. I would have your vehicle independently evaluated for safety before purchasing. If they cut corners on something so obvious as tire tread, who knows what they're allowing to pass their inspections under the hood. The safety standards are the very bare minimum here

I bout a truck from this place. I live in perris ca between riverside and Temecula. I drove 7 hrs to pick up the truck that's how good the deal was. Garen and Tim were great, we did go back and forth but not like other dealers. They were not pushy and the deal was made over the phone. When I go there the truck looked better than the pictures that were posted. I was in and out in an hour. Really happy I found this place. The drive was worth the deal that I got. I would definitely buy from them again.

See all

From the start, he was patient, professional, and genuinely helpful. He never once pressured me, encouraged me to ask as many questions as I needed, and made sure I felt comfortable and confident at every step of the leasing process. Leasing my new Bronco ended up being smooth and stress-free thanks to him, which is not something I expected going in! If you're looking for someone who actually listens and treats you with respect, Mark is your guy. Highly recommend working with him! (Arman the sales manager was also so easy to work with! A kick-*ss team who understands the value of great customer service!)

We would also like to thank Torrance from concierge for his thorough walkthrough of all the new features in our vehicle, as well as Christian for his initial guidance in helping us find the perfect car for our family. Their professionalism and attention to detail truly stood out. We highly recommend this dealership and look forward to returning in the future. A special shout-out to Ali for going above and beyond--his dedication, honesty, and genuine care for his customers made this experience exceptional. If you're looking for someone who truly puts your needs first, Ali is the person to see!

This review is for the service department! John DO BETTER!…read more I understand being busy but you and your guys fumbled the ball majorly... and rather than having accountability and trying to find a solution; John the "manager" failed to handle his service and parts department mistakes and instead began to become defensive and pass blame to any and everyone! Peter, his staff member, unloaded about his personal stress working there in a very unprofessional manner and at the end of the day my service appointment was canceled same day 1 HOUR BEFORE, due to their inability to communicate between the service and parts department. They are in the same building but may as well be on different planets. I have been to multiple locations to have my many Benz's over the years serviced and this one was terrible I will not be returning! The incompetence is immense and yet due to me being women they have the audacity to think they can explain it away. I actually work on cars myself and to be that condescending is beyond disgusting! Get it together guys because this department sucks and should get negative stars!

He talked cars with my husband and was knowledgeable about the VE Golf history and future. After coming to a deal, we met Jim, the finance manager, who was equally as friendly and got our paperwork ready quickly to send us down to Eddie - who made all the final paperwork signing the easiest experience. My husband and I have bought a handful of cars, and our experience at VW Dirito brothers was hands down the best experience we have ever had. It was so nice to talk to people that appreciated my husband's car enthusiasm and could talk shop rather than just talking sales. I 110% recommend buying your next car here
