As of 1.28.25 I learned that the vehicle was sold to me under false/fraudulent pretence. 2019 M4CS had an original bad wrap that covered all the damages. For that reason, Jerry Fontaine knocked off $1500 off the price. That was a red flag; however I had no reason to believe I was dealing with an unethical car dealer owner. Mr. Malcolm Phillips after learning about the damage on the entire car, he was very unprofessional, and refuse to honor and do the right thing. I had a professional shop, Diamnd Auto Salon do a report & video of the extensive damage of the car. The car has a safety failure issue as well. I could never sell a car knowing it's not safe & extensive damage. I highly discourage any prospective buyers from purchasing from this dealer. The owner is clearly unethical. The salesperson, as nice as he was originally, he witnessed the bullying conversation I had originally with the general manager, Michael Alibrando. He was inappropriate & condescending. Mr. Phillips (owner) admitted that Mr. Alibrando has difficulty communicating with business women. I had 2 witnesses during both conversations with the general manager and owner Malcolm Phillips. Both men have no regard for women entrepreneurs. It's unfortunate, however, I document everything. read more

Great team at Phillips Auto! The team was very responsive and easy to work with. Super fast, and they beat CarMax by $500! Thank you!

Bianca told me to come for an offer because they have to schedule and appointment. After I came, she didn't give me one just because I was looking for offers from other dealers. Like what was she thinking I will blindly sell my car? Bad business. Out of the country?? What a joke!! Is this a story you made up? I went to the next dealer and sold the car, my dad was there and signed it. Also you didn't give an offer not even when I showed you the offer from the kbb read more

Amazing experience. Very friendly atmosphere. Bianca took care of everything for me. I recommend buying and selling your car here. read more

Went in to give a buddy a ride home. Fell in love with a chalk turbo Cayenne Coupe with PCCBs and more. The vehicle was a unique spec given my taste in Porsche. They gave me a build sheet, carfax and I went home to study the market. Came back next business day and did the deal. They purchased my 9 year old Porsche at a fair whole-sale price and made the transaction hassle free. Some very minor issues came up after the deal but they did not even blink and jumped right in to take care of me post transaction as well. Do your homework, and know the terms of the contract. That is crucial. I highly recommend working with Michael Alibrando and Mike Aziz. These guys have 30 plus years experience and they won't waist your time. Phillips is fortunate to have very good staffing with lots of experience. I can highly recommend Phillips Auto. read more

Phillips Auto - Porsche911 S - Car Dealers Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Nearly 7 months ago I purchased a 2014 Mercedes C63 AMG at Phillips Auto with Jerry Fontaine as my salesman. I waited a few months to post a review so I could put some miles on the car. On top of taking in my civic and searching for the best possible interest rate in a rough economy, the most important part of the sales conversation was Jerry sharing the reality of owning a 10-year-old German sportscar. Using multiple real examples and walking me in depth through my options, Jerry suggested what has become my favorite addition to my purchase, my extended warranty. During a recent trip to the local MB Dealership (5k miles into ownership), a few issues from 10 years of ownership were pointed out creating a bill of nearly $14k in labor alone. All of which was covered under my warranty and now my car drives like new and all I paid was a deductible. My point here is that Jerry is an informed and experienced salesman who understands the beauties and terrors of being in the world of high-performance cars and he will share that knowledge so that you will be a happy owner as long as possible! read more

I had a great experience. A family owned business and Trevor was a true pro. Honest and easy to work with.

I sincerely would like to thank Mr. Fontaine and Phillips Auto for providing me with excellent customer service, and memories that would last a lifetime. I was able to locate the vehicle that I liked. Contacted a sales person, scheduled an appointment, and drove away with my dream car all in the same day. Mr. Fontaine and his crew went out of the way to provide excellent customer service by staying after hours to make sure the deal gets done right before the new year. These guys are the real deal. They are upfront about everything and they're not trying to sell you anything you're not trying to buy. Five stars -2016 Chevrolet Callaway Corvette.(legendary) read more

Phillips Auto - Me and my wife next to my dream car. 2016 Chevy Callaway Corvette. - Car Dealers Near Me - Newport Beach, California

Phillips Auto had the most amazing cars for the most amazing price I've ever seen. The cars were in perfect condition, and I must say...absolutely gorgeous. Our salesman, Jerry Fontaine gave us all the information that we needed to determine if we wanted to proceed with the purchase. From that information, not only did we buy My Dream Car (2015 Corvette Stingray), but my wife purchased hers as well (2022 Porsche 718 Cayman). The sales team sells quality/quantity vs jacking up the prices for commission. If I ever buy another car, I'll be going back to Phillips Auto! read more

Another great deal from Mike. I needed a daily driver for our company so I was looking at everything for sale under 45k that was decent on gas. I decided on a Tesla. After a quick search I was thrilled, but not surprised to see that Phillips had the best deal in town on a model 3 performance. I stopped by, spend about 20 minutes catching up with Mike and I was on my way with my new car. I've been coming here for over 15 years. They're still the same old awesome team. Thank again Mike. read more

We were looking to sell a car which we no longer needed and visited multiple dealerships to shop around, including checking Kelley Blue Book estimates. However, once we connected with Trevor Phillips at Phillips Auto, the decision became easy. Trevor not only provided a fair and competitive offer, but he also made the entire process smooth and hassle-free. His professionalism, transparency, and efficiency stood out, making the transaction seamless from start to finish. If you're looking for a straightforward and stress-free car-selling experience, we highly recommend Phillips Auto--especially Trevor! read more

Jerry Fontaine assisted me, and he was amazing. I decided to buy the vehicle he showed me. He made the paperwork a breeze. Then, he totally facilitated getting a Carfax offer for me to sell my car for a trade-in. He also tells a joke or two. He's great! An enjoyable experience! read more

Couldn't ask for a better car buying experience!! Jerry Fontaine made a lot of dreams come through this week as we purchased a 2017 McLaren from him. Usually we have to read every little detail and run the numbers ourselves when we buy a car to make sure they are accurate, but with Jerry it was all explained in detail on the first try. He was thorough, honest, and so professional. It's not every day that you buy a new car, but the next time we are in the market I won't hesitate to work with Jerry again. Thank YOU for a great experience! read more

I highly recommend going here to sell your car. Not only do they make the process super quick and easy, but the level of customer service is on another level. I'd like to call out an associate, Franceso. Francesco reached out via text beforehand to ensure that I had everything required in order to actually proceed with the sale. This helped prevent any wasted time and gas. In other words, he helped me save money even when he wasn't sure that I would actually sell my car at Phillips Auto. Can't say this enough, I highly recommend to go to Phillips Auto if you want to sell your car and specifically ask for Francesco. read more

They were easy to work with and paid top dollar for my car. I would highly recommend Phillips Auto to buy or sell a vehicle. read more

If you want to sell your own car, deal with people low balling you, coming to your house and potentially getting scammed well go ahead. IF YOU WANT AN EASY TRANSACTION CALL PHILLIPS AUTO!!! I went on kbb.com to get an instant offer. I got an immediate offer that was lower than what I wanted. Then Carre called me and we had a great discussion. She was able to get me exactly what I wanted for my car. I drove my car to Phillips Auto, signed 3 documents, was handed a check and she even drove me to the bank to deposit the check while I waited for my ride to arrive. Carre went up and beyond to make my life easy and I can't say "thank you" enough! If you get the opportunity to work with Phillips Auto, you will be fortunate, great place, great people. read more

My wife and I saw this Raptor parked in front of Phillips Automotive so we had to pull in and check it out. Jerry Fontaine introduced himself to us as the Phillips automotive sales staff. He gave me the keys and let me check it out with zero pressure. My wife and I felt so comfortable as we checked out the truck at our own pace, Jerry was standing by if we had any questions. The experience yesterday was outstanding as I felt zero pressure. I told Jerry that I would come back tomorrow as I wanted to sleep on it and check on some things. After doing my due diligence I went back to Phillips and we made the deal happen. The staff at Phillips including the owner Malcolm, treated me very respectfully and were kind and understanding. I highly recommend going to Phillips Automotive for the purchase of a vehicle. You will be glad you did. read more

I sold my car to Phillips Auto back in May 2025. In July 2025 I received five toll road citations from the car I sold to them! First, how long does it take a dealership to get the car out of my name with the DMV? Second, what criminal did they sell my car to that would drive on toll roads on five separate occasions without paying? I called Phillips Auto and all they said was they sold my car to someone else and I have to take time out of my life to provide proof of DMV transfer to the Toll Roads. The whole point of selling my car to a dealership is to avoid situations and headaches like this. Now I have to fill out forms from the Toll Road to dispute each of the five citations and provide DMV proof. What a headache and waste of my time. I would not sell or buy another car from Phillips Auto. Please save the trouble and go to another dealership. Very unprofessional for a dealership that handles high end luxury cars. I recommend going through AAA. I sold my BMW to a private party through AAA and the title was transferred instantly releasing me of all liability. read more

The buying experience was very pleasant and smooth. Mike was very helpful and did all the documents so there wasn't any hassle. Really happy with my Porsche 911 purchase, the car was in very good condition and would definitely recommend. read more

My wife and I never thought we could get into a car that we dreamed of.....that is until we came across Phillips Auto in Newport Beach. Mike Aziz is our sales rep, he is extremely kind, patient, and cares about generating and maintaining a strong work relationship with his customers, he's been there over 25 years. My wife and I have purchased several vehicles over the years from Phillips Auto: a 2020 MBZ E-class, a 2011 Porsche Cayman, a 2014 Chevy Corvette, and a 2003 Porsche 911. We used to dread car shopping but now we are always excited Phillips Auto doesn't have junk fees, they don't hard sell you, they will advise you on ways to protect your investment (bumper to bumper warranty for example which we are glad we invested in because it saved us thousands of dollars in protecting our multiple investments with peace of mind), they don't make you sit in the office half the day to do paperwork. We always are in an out in no less than 2 hours. I have to say you might experience VIP treatment at Phillips Auto (this is a good thing) because they love their customers and they really go the extra mile, here's what I mean. Most recently Michael Alibrando helped us with a purchase (Mike Aziz was out of town). Our purchase we had a road hazard on the way home due to debris on the ground 3 other vehicles pulled over with a flat tire as well and Michael Alibrando had his assistant Harry Robertson next day hand deliver 2 brand new tires to us with a check for $100 to get the new tires installed. Side note: Car tires are considered "incidentals" which is just a fancy word for consumables that are the fiscal responsibility of the car owner and this is not the norm nor the responsibility for a car dealership to do something like this in fact it's unheard of. But that's exactly what I mean about Phillips Auto, Mike Aziz, Michael Alibrando, Harry Robertson, HUGE thank you for what you do on a regular basis day in day out in providing excellent customer service. You won't be sorry when you go to Phillips Auto. read more

Phillips Auto - Our latest purchase from Phillips Auto!!! - Car Dealers Near Me - Newport Beach, California

I only visited Phillips Auto to see an available car and how far-fetched it would be to own something like it way in the future. Damn if Jerry Fontaine did not split the atom and make it happen for me working out details in real time, which I did not know were even possible. Those details included affordability, not common with dream-cars. I drove the car home the next day and I am the envy of everyone on my block! - Tim S. read more

I had the pleasure of purchasing a car from Jerry Fontaine I usually hate the process of purchasing a car and have to work through a lot of BS to get to the actual numbers and information you need but not with Jerry, the process was amazing and a pleasure to say the least.

He fought for me as if he's known me for years, it was overall an amazing experience. Thanks Jerry! read more

Michael Alibrando, (Mike) at Phillips Auto is the best. I bought my 2009 Porsche 911 Cab from Phillips Auto in 2023. Mike was great in assisting me purchase the car. In 2024 I decided I might want to trade my car for a boat. Mike was going to do his best to try and get value for my car. After a week I decided to keep my car. Mike and Phillips auto had detailed my car and prepared it for sale. They did not give me a hard time for chaning my mind and even encouraged me to keep the car of my dreams. This is a different type of dealership!!! No pressure, honest & great staff to do business with. I highly recommend Phillps Auto in Newport Beach, Ca. read more

Jerry Fontaine sold me my second Porsche. I was going to do a trade in but he convinced me that it was too beautiful a car to let go. That is my dealer honesty test and he passed it with flying colors. They are Credit Union approved. I had such a great experience with everyone. The car was lovingly detailed. Jerry took the time to explain the paperwork to me and set up my car so that I would be able to have everything I needed with the touch of a button. The Porsche Macan is a beautiful car to experience. I could not have done this without Jerry and the Phillips Auto experience!! I am so grateful! read more
