    Best car buying experience ever, no haggle. My 2013 Lexus RX350 excellent condition with the low mileage was a bargain, It still has the new car smell! I am truly blessed to find Tim and OC Auto Wholesales! Highly recommend Tim! Will definitely go to him for my next car purchase. Very satisfied, very happy customer!

    All I can say is I have bought many pre-owned cars in the past and my experience with OC Auto Wholesale was beyond stellar. Tim (The Owner) was absolutely amazing to work with. He is a genuine mid-westerner with those sensibilities. Honest, fair and a gem of a human. I was looking for a very long time to get a low mile Range Rover for my son and found one and jumped on it. One of the cleanest I came across and my son was so stoked when we surprised him. The whole process of purchasing my vehicle was seamless and easy. Tim has a large swatch of amazing, low mileage automobiles that are in pristine condition so we will be back for sure. I highly recommend Tim and his business. It's rare to come across a used car dealership where salespeople aren't wearing leisure suits and trying to pull the wool over your eyes. Tim is a great owner, a kind human and has great business acumen. Please give him a visit you wont be disappointed!

    As someone that has owned 46 different vehicles in my lifetime, I am what most people call "a car guy". I know a lot about cars and their offerings. After losing my MBZ CLK 55 AMG convertible to an accident (not my fault) I was looking to replace it with something comparable. I saw an ad on line for Orange County Auto Wholesale and found something I really liked. The pictures and description was remarkable and I was able to get a copy of the CarFax report. I called Tim and asked about it. He gave me detailed information and answered all my questions with perfect knowledge and understanding of my wants/needs. After about 45 minutes of conversation and some emails, I purchased the car, sight unseen (except for pics). I got a very fair price compared to many others I had looked at for a very long time. Everything was done on line and, Tim even had a connection to have the car delivered to my home (about 1.5 hours away). The vehicle arrived and I was even more impressed with it in person. It was a previous lease that was taken care of by the owners and only MBZ dealers. Very low miles and not even a scratch on it. I also noticed that the car was detailed inside and out, including a ceramic coating. This was one of the best experiences I've had with a vehicle purchase, even better than most of the brand new vehicles I've purchased over the years. Tim knows his stuff and does not sell crap cars. He stands behind his word and was an absolute pleasure to work with. A big thank you again to Tim for the great experience.

    I love the 2009 Cadillac Escalade EXT pickup & bought it! I picked it up on a Wednesday, picked up my Son & drove to San Diego to go fishing! It was very smooth, powerful, & got 19 MPG. The brakes squealed all the way down & back & Tim, the owner, sent me to his mechanic who changed the rear brakes. I've also had to service it because I did not receive any service records & had to repair the mirror motors & the door latches. But, over all it the best truck I've ever owned.

    We had a great experience purchasing our new Toyota RAV4 from Tustin Toyota.  From start to finish,…read morethe process was pretty smooth.  Tarek was wonderful to work with throughout the sales process. He was knowledgeable, patient, and never made us feel rushed or pressured into making a decision. They didn't have the exact color we wanted in stock, Storm Cloud. So we reserved one, and to our surprise, it arrived earlier than expected! Nathan in finance made the paperwork process easy to understand and efficient. He took the time to explain everything clearly without pushing unnecessary extras, which we really appreciated. Overall, this was a positive car-buying experience. Thank you, Tarek and Nathan, for helping us get our new RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid!

    Extremely disappointed with my experience at Tustin Toyota. DO NOT go to Tustin Toyota if you don't…read morewant to deal with headaches and lack of knowledgeable employees. These people are supposed to be experts in this field since it is dealing with people's safety. But if they can't even get a simple ToyotaCare service right and instead make up their own incorrect recommendations, that is extremely concerning. Potentially wasting mine, OR YOURS if you come here without being knowledgeable of your vehicle needs. My truck was dropped off at 8:45 AM for a scheduled appointment. My service advisor, Victor Martinez, told me that because my truck had 23K miles instead of 20K, I could no longer use my 20K ToyotaCare service. He said I would either need to pay $79.99 for an oil change or use my 30K service, even though my truck only had 23K miles. That didn't sound right, so I asked Victor to show me the policy in writing. His response was, "I never said that" (about it being a written policy). After going back and forth, he finally spoke with his service manager and confirmed that he was incorrect. I COULD use my 20K service. Had I not questioned him, I would have unnecessarily paid for an oil change or burned my 30K service 7,000 miles early. That makes me seriously question how many customers are given similar information and simply accept it because they trust their service advisor. The shuttle experience was also a bit frustrating. Patricia Ortiz told me the driver would be back around 1:55PM. I specifically explained that if the shuttle couldn't reach me by approximately 2:15-2:20, I would take a Lyft instead. She reassured me it would. At 2:20, I called again and was told the driver had left about 10 minutes earlier. After another 20 minutes with no ride, I canceled and ordered a Lyft. The shuttle finally arrived at the same time as my Lyft. Patricia was also passive-aggressive and dismissive on the phone. Also, Tustin Toyota already knew my truck needed a recall completed. I had rescheduled this appointment twice, with the recall specifically noted. And they still had no parts available for the recall. In my opinion customers shouldn't have to research Toyota's policies and challenge their service advisor just to receive the services they're entitled to. The inaccurate information, poor communication, and lack of accountability made this an extremely disappointing experience.

    This used to be THE BMW dealership that I loved and supported, which makes this experience…read moreespecially disappointing. I bought and serviced BMWs here because I previously had genuinely positive experiences. In August 2025, my salesperson, Jack, helped source one of the first 2026 BMW X5 xDrive50e vehicles available after I needed a more disability-friendly vehicle following a serious accident. Unfortunately, my later service experience was completely different. Irvine BMW documented safety concerns by December 2025. The December service records my request to check the brakes and my report that the rear hatch would close by itself and almost hit people. I signed that paperwork at the time because I did not understand I could decline or annotate paperwork I believed was inaccurate. My signature was not intended to mean those concerns were successfully diagnosed or repaired, and the copy I received does not document a repair resolving either concern. Months later, the X5 was towed to Irvine BMW after a reported freeway event involving loss of braking or brake power, loss of vehicle power and functionality, and multiple warnings. Irvine BMW later represented that its work was complete, but the event was not conclusively reproduced and, to my knowledge, its cause was not established. While the X5 remained in Irvine BMW custody, BMW App records showed about 22 miles of dealership driving. Irvine BMW acknowledged the mileage and said it was diagnostic driving. I repeatedly requested the specific authorization relied upon for those public-road drives, but I was not provided that record. Irvine BMW also initially characterized the original BMW transportation protection film as aftermarket and later corrected that statement. During custody, the My BMW App showed the high-voltage battery reached about 0 percent. Afterward, I experienced repeated charging interruptions and disconnections. Available battery information also raised concern about possible cell imbalance, which another BMW-owned dealership is evaluating. The release process became another dispute. I had disclosed physical limitations affecting my ability to drive safely and was coordinating the return of the loaner and safe transportation of the X5. At final release on August 14, I reviewed the repair order Irvine BMW presented to me and told the cashier that I could not sign it because I believed it contained inaccuracies. The cashier initially told me she needed signatures and then offered to obtain a manager. Michael Gruber subsequently approached without identifying himself. After he objected to being recorded, I immediately stopped recording. He then confirmed that I did not have to sign the repair order as presented. He proceeded with threatening me that if I wanted the requested records, my lawyers could contact the dealership. I wrote on Irvine BMW's dealership copy that I declined or refused to sign because I believed the repair order contained inaccuracies and placed my signature only next to that refusal notation. I was not permitted to photograph Irvine BMW's copy containing my handwritten notation and limited signature. Since the reported braking and power-loss event remained unresolved, BMW Roadside Assistance ultimately arranged for the X5 to be towed to another authorized BMW-owned dealership for further diagnosis rather than requiring me to drive it. A new repair order was opened addressing the braking and power-loss event, repeated charging interruptions, and the rear tailgate unexpectedly closing near people. What disappoints me most is how different this was from the Irvine BMW I previously trusted. I cannot speak to why the atmosphere changed, and do not want to speculate if there was a change higher up than general management. I can only describe my documented experience. Based on that experience, I would now choose another authorized BMW Center for future diagnosis, maintenance, and repair work. I have preserved the relevant repair orders, emails, texts, BMW App records, BMW Roadside records, and supporting documentation, and may update this review when the ongoing diagnosis is complete.
