    Shawn sold me my dream car and was awesome even after I gave him a hard time about all these crazy reviews... These cars ARE NOT PERFECT, but they are priced accordingly and if you don't do your research and know the risks of buying a used car, that's ON YOU, not the dealer. I am happy and would definitely buy a car from Shawn again!

    Big Shout out to Shawn at OC Auto Guys! He was very professional and gave me a really great deal on my car!!

    Shout out to Shawn! Because of him, I was able to get the BMW I always wanted. He was very very very accommodating and responsive to all of my questions. I felt absolutely confident when purchasing this car. What a coincidence it's matching my brand new shoes. Can't wait to roll down the street in this beauty! If you're looking to purchase a car and you're hesitant, you should definitely stop by OC Auto Guys and have Shawn help you out.

    Great prices and process with Shawn. Very easy and fast process, highly recommend if you're looking to buy something reliable and in good shape. Worked with other dealers and this was the best process. Thank you Shawn! Very satisfied with the car.

    We were looking around for a while trying to find the perfect car for the perfect price and the manager Shawn really exceeded our expectations when it came to inventory and price. He even went out of his way to have fresh tires placed on the vehicle right before signing. If you're tired of dealing with shady salesman, this is a refreshing car buying experience. 10/10

    He sold me my dream car, A 2015 BMW i8 w 27k miles for $60k. I have a few friends that have dealerships in the area but I chose to go with Shawn because he's honest and trustable and I know I'm getting the best deal without haggling or bargaining. I'm definitely sending anyone I know to him. If he doesn't have the car you're looking for he will find it for you at the your price range. Thank you for being a stand up guy.

    After an exhausting month of car shopping and dealing with interesting sales tactics, my wife and I found OC Auto Guys who offered us a great deal on our Audi Q5. Car buying doesn't have to be a painful. If, you are looking for a friendly and honest car buying experience Just contact my man Shawn and he will definitely take good care of you. I Will definitely recommend him to my family and friends and most likely will be buying my next vehicle from here.

    Sold me a car with counterfeit wheels that would have been worth $2400 for the set had they been real. Avoid these guys at all costs.

    These guys are the real deal! Absolutely zero hidden fees or mandatory add-ons which means the…read moreprice you see is the price you're going to pay... I wish all dealers operated like this. I worked with Zed on my purchase and communication over text was flawless. He took the time to make sure I understood the ins and outs of the vehicle and worked with me to get a decent value for my trade-in. Well worth the drive from San Diego for me. If you're in the market for an EV, do yourself a favor and start here first. Tons of cool cars on the lot.

    I want to be fair with this review, so I'm going to lay out exactly what happened and let you…read moredecide for yourself. The Good: Zed runs a no-nonsense operation. No pressure tactics, no surprise fees, fair pricing, and a quick and easy transaction. It's refreshing compared to the typical used car dealer experience, and I genuinely appreciated that. The Bad: I drove off the lot and immediately noticed two warning lights on the dash: charging port fault and airbag. You know how cars flash a few lights on startup and they disappear within seconds? That's what I assumed. Besides, you're spending $50K+ on a car and you don't expect to drive away with these active warnings. I simply trusted Zed on that. Both turned out to be real issues. $1,400 paid to fix it. During my inspection, one of the Falcon Wing doors hesitated when opening. Zed said it was probably the sun, shade, or dust interfering. I took his word for it. It wasn't. $650 quote from Tesla. One week later, a steering rack warning appeared. $4,000 quote. Total damage in week one: over $6,000 on top of the purchase price. My Take: I want to give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he didn't know about these issues. But either way, it's clear these cars aren't being thoroughly inspected before they hit the lot. I'd give 3.5 stars if I could, but $6,000+ in repairs within a week makes 4 stars hard to justify. Would I buy from here again? "Maybe..." But next time I'm bringing my own inspector, spending more time on the test drive, and checking every light, every panel, and every moving part myself. Bottom line: Good dealer. Smooth process. But do NOT skip a thorough pre-purchase inspection. Do NOT assume the car is in good condition because you're having a good experience during your time at the dealership.

I stop by here frequently. and i tell my networks to do so as well. Cheers

    I really wanted and intended to write a five star review of OC Autosource because initially I liked…read morethe owner, Tony Thompson and trusted him. I ignored other reviews and purchased my dream car from OC Autosource...a Bentley Continental GT Speed "Limited Le Mans Edition" (#7 of 48) coupe. Though the car had been in his hands for weeks, he apparently never bothered to have a mechanic look at it. I paid for a PPI (Pre-Purchase Inspection) after buying it (my bad, don't make this mistake) and learned the truth about the car. The front grills had sustained damage, breaking off the tabs that hold them in place and subsequently been GLUED back on. The front left wheel had a crack in it which caused the tire to steadily lose air pressure, ultimately triggering an alert on the car's dash. This alert effectively froze the computer, making it impossible to use the navigation, listen to music or do anything else. I returned to the tire shop 3 times for refills, seven days later the alarm was triggered again, On my third visit they discovered the crack in the wheel. The exhaust system was loosely hanging on...missing brackets that secure it and prevent it from hanging low. The car has a 20 speaker, $7500.00 sound system but the blown speaker in the dash made it painful to use...like nails on a chalkboard. When I provided Tony proof of these flaws, he assured me he would make good on the repairs and "..do the right thing" and I believed him. I had everything fixed at a cost of $2637.79 (parts & labor) and now enjoy driving the car. Weeks passed and Tony never contacted me until I posted a review and filed a BBB complaint. 24hrs after posting my initial review & filing a BBB complaint, I got reimbursed the total amt for the aforementioned repairs. But because Tony asked me to "...remove all the negative you put out there" I feel this was mere damage control rather than his desire to do the right thing because I received more messages from him within 24hrs of posting my review than I received in the preceding 4 months.. I promised him an honest review on my first visit to OC Autosouce & that's what this is. I always keep my word. If you intend to purchase a car from OC Autosource, I suggest you demand a PPI be conducted before you buy. Have the cost of any repairs necessary be deducted from the purchase price and handle the repairs yourself. JMO...I could be wrong.

My credit is good, and I had a grand to put down-on a 12 year old car, mind you- but I had a slow month at work, so my checks were smaller than usual. Dude starts talking about a cosigner now, and how we could run my credit but there's no point, blah blah.

Why wasnt the car pulled out of the "showroom" earlier that day, if we were going to test drive it? Rude, wasted my time and gas, and apparently didnt think they'd sell me a car? Got a 2016 jetta a few days later, with the same mileage for much cheaper, and didn't need a cosigner. Skip this place

The online listing made the car sound pristine, but in person, it had a long list of issues: broken trim, missing parts, mismatched tires, rusted rotors, and a non-functioning rear screen. These flaws weren't disclosed in the ad. Worse, the dealership attempted to charge $5,500 for paint protection, theft deterrents, tint, and other add-ons that were never discussed beforehand, despite claiming "no hidden fees." Their fine print later revealed these were pre-installed and not part of the advertised price. I waited more than 20 minutes to speak with a manager after raising concerns but willing to negotiate, but no one followed up, so I walked out. This place banks on uninformed buyers accepting inflated prices and vague add-ons. If you're a serious buyer, read the fine print, ask hard questions, and be ready to walk. UPDATE 6/28/25: After buying the same make and model at a different dealership -- one with FAR better integrity -- I want to reflect back at my experience at this dealership and their practices. First, salesman wanted me to negotiate on the final price, not the vehicle price. That's a classic dealership tactic as it protects the sticker price for their metrics, have an easier time hiding add-on profits, and it creates a false impression of flexibility. Ultimately, this is bad for the buyer because transparency is lost, it protects their margin and limits one's leverage. I knew that's what they were aiming at, so I held the line on only negotiating on the sticker price. Again, LOOK AT THE PICTURES AS TO WHY!! In spite of what I just said, he proceeded with the oldest trick dealerships do: "cool-down" or "sweat-you-out" tactic. This is done to make one feel uncomfortable or impatient with the ultimate goal of getting one emotionally invested in staying and "finishing the deal". By doing so, they wear you down so that you're more likely to agree to their numbers just to be done. There are other reasons too but this is a big one. ~20 minutes of waiting, I told one of the salesmen that I've been waiting a while for the manager and will leave in 5 minutes if he doesn't arrive. True to my word, I left. I never heard from them after that (they had my contact info) which tells me they would rather wait for a less informed, emotional buyer to foolishly agree to the unfair price of this car AND overpriced mandatory add-ons. Here's my take away from this dealership: 1) High-pressure, low-integrity dealership model: They prioritize margins over relationships with a focus on flipping cars at inflated prices. They also rely on delays, confusion, and "manager invisibility" to outlast smart buyers. 2) Poor reconditioning = Cut costs: The car's condition (damaged trim, mismatched tires, rusted rotors, broken screen and so on) says they're not investing in inventory. They're pushing it out as-is and hoping no one notices. 3) The "Fool Tax" strategy: the biggest one for this dealership. They keep cars on the lot long enough to find someone unaware or emotionally invested. I was never their ideal buyer. I was informed, direct, and clear. PLEASE TAKE MY EXPERIENCE AS A WARNING. AVOID THEM. I AM SPEAKING AS SOMEONE WHO DID NOT PURCHASE FROM THEM. IMAGINE HOW I WOULD FEEL IF I DID. UPDATE 4/1/26: Since my visit, California passed SB 766, aimed at deceptive practices like misleading pricing and add-ons, the same issues I and many others have raised here. After 10/1/26, dealers engaging in those practices will face greater scrutiny. If you believe you were misled or defrauded, consider filing a complaint w/ DMV Investigations and keep all documentation. In Jan 2026, Yelp placed a "Suspicious Review Activity" alert on this dealership's page (see pic). Read it, then look at how many good reviews come from accounts with 1-3 total reviews here, versus those with a much longer review history. Draw your own conclusions. IF YOU FOUND A VEHICLE YOU LOVE AT THIS DEALERSHIP, PLEASE STAY AWAY!! THEY WILL USE YOUR EMOTIONS AGAINST YOU.

Luckily I was sooooo fked over by this dealership the service center felt bad for me and they ended up replacing both drive units and they honored the warranty. Thank you Tesla. Cried for days. The damage was so bad they said it wasn't safe to drive. 5 stars to the Tesla service center, 1 star to Deboss motors. Shame on you, you should have known about this condition and disclosed it to me. Didnt think I would need a full (wheels off) 3rd party inspection from a place with such good reviews. They have 'a guy' to help fix stuff but it was very shady. Luckily I didn't have to go to him. Buy from Tesla directly or get a full inspection before buying a car from here because they were either negligent or liars about the pre existing damage. Either way never coming back here.
