Man, all I want to say is when you're looking at the right places and come across the right people. Chances are you're going to find what you're looking for. This does not only pertain to cars but can applied to life as well. Don't want to get too off topic here but I'm.... Happy to take this Tesla model Y performance home and a big thank you to Rose City Auto Sales for making it happen. Apparently a few people came to see the car that day but ended up kicking tires, tiring the staff there in return. Basically, last Friday was my day. read more

I can't recommend Shant at Rose City Auto Sales enough! Not only do they have a great selection of well priced used cars here but he made the whole process so easy and got me a great deal on a car payment! My car needed a windshield repair and the engine light came on soon after driving it but Shant was sure to get it taken care of with his mechanic at no expense to me. That's great customer service! Also, I LOVE my new car. Buy a car here!! read more

I went in to look at some cars yesterday and Sean provided a great experience. Cars are well priced and he has a quality selection of vehicles on his lot. Thank you, will definitely be back soon. read more

Working with Sean at Rose City was refreshing! He was professional and no pressure and honest. I didn't end up buying from him only because I went for an EV. But after not buying from him, he was still very willing to buy my vehicle from me. And it was again no pressure and professional and took less than 30 minutes to get the deal done. I would recommend Sean and Rose City Auto Sales to any of my friends and have already done so. read more

4 hrs into an 8 hr drive, I receive a text that the car that was on hold for my purchase had been sold. Untrustworthy - buyer beware

I was looking for a reasonably priced car for my granddaughter. Rose City had some suitable cars listed. Owner Shawn was very helpful and personable. The small lot is really full. I tested a couple cars and settled on a Mazda 3 that seemed right. We completed the sale with easily with no pressure or ad-ons - just a nice straight transaction. You are not paying a premium for a big dealer. Highly recommended for good value cars. Be sure and visit the lizard and turtles. read more

Thank you Shant for helping us out on a used car with a great deal! The process was smooth and straightforward. If you guys want to but a used car, go here. read more

Enquired about an online purchase. Dealer stated they use 1 lender. Loan did not go through. Went ahead got another loan and was ready to purchase. 4 days no reply to text message. No reply to email. Was ready to purchase vehicle + had plane flight ready to go - - wasted my time. Common theme ..poor communication. Not a good buying experience. Dealer states "not his decision" for sale price. Not respectful of buyers time. Also states he is the only one that works there. Maybe get some help? read more

What I liked best about Rose City was the inventory and selection. Lots of good deals here. If your're ready to buy and you see a car you like in inventory here you won't regret visiting this lot. You won't experience a faster, smooth and easy car buying experience. Received great customer service. I drove a few cars. Everything I drove felt mechanically solid. I bought my car under an hour. No delearship routine and faster than carmax! read more

I'm not usually one to leave reviews, but this one definitely felt necessary. Rose City Auto Sales, specifically Shant, exceeded my expectations & definitely was of big assistance. As someone who just got her license & was looking to buy her 1st car, this was the best place to go! To say Shant was helpful is an understatement. He's responsive & kind to any questions I had. When I tell you I was impressed about how easy & FAST, he made the process. Literally within the span of less than a week, Shant had me set ranging from the registration to getting my plates. He really made sure I had everything I needed & kept in contact with my dad about any questions and/or updates. If I could give him & Rose City Auto Sales 10 stars, I would! Definitely going to send any family/friends looking for a car Shant's way. Thank you again for everything, Shant! :) read more

Good selection of nice and clean cars . Great service . I needed a vehicle for work and I looked all around the area for my specific type. Shawn had the best price so I said let's do it ! Haven't looked back ever since . Thanks a lot for the hospitality and good customer service. I would definitely recommend if you are in the market for used cars. read more

I am so happy that I found Rose City Auto Sales. From the moment I walked in I was treated with kindness and realness. I worked with Shant on the purchase of my 2008 BMW 3 Series. He was very upfront and honest the entire time. He worked with me when I wanted to test drive the car two times over the corse of a week, was responsive to all my text messages and phone calls, and even allowed my mechanic to come do an inspection prior to my purchase. He had the CarFax report and everything I needed to make sure I knew what I was purchasing. There was a small oil leak that my mechanic caught however, Shant offered to split the cost of it with me. Overall, Shant has a new customer for the long haul. read more

We were searching for a specific vehicle - 2014 FJ Cruiser - and located a Limited Edition with very low miles (30k) at Rose City Auto Sales in Pasadena; located through CarsGuru.  The vehicle was in great shape with a few blemishes noted as expected.   We felt fortunate that we were able to test drive, inspect, negotiate a fair price and close the deal on this special, highly sought after car. Shant was extremely helpful, professional and polite individual.  We had an exceptional experience with our purchase and highly recommend this private dealership. It's small but they have some very nice vehicles for sale.  Call in advance and they will have the car ready for your inspection. We're loving the FJ Cruiser.  It's our second one. So glad to have replaced our first with a better "Limited Edition" model. read more

My brother and I bought a nice white Infiniti from Rose City Auto last year. It was a really good experience. No pressure. Shant let us test drive the car on the freeway and later brought the car to a nearby third party mechanic for inspection. Shant was friendly, reasonable, answered our questions and worked with us on the price. Rose City is one of the best used car dealers we found. Next time I need a used car I will definitely shop there. read more

I purchased my vehicle here at Rose City Auto Sales and Shant was really helpful, kind, and genuine from coming with us to get the car mechanically checked to the transaction of the vehicle. The car is in overall great condition cosmetically and mechanically for a good price out the door! I am super happy with my purchase and happy to have made the trip out to Pasadena from the Valley to purchase my car on a Friday afternoon. Thanks Shant! read more

We worked with Shant to purchase a sedan. Shant was friendly and easy to work with. The car is great so far. Should we want a used vehicle in the future we would be happy to work with Shant again. read more

I thought I had left a review, but don't see it. If you are looking for a used car in the San Gabriel Valley area, this is the spot! Shant is straight-forward, honest and accommodating. We bought a 2008 BMW X3 about 5 months ago. The car was in good condition, inside and out, with decent mileage for its age and reasonably priced. Shant made the process as quick and painless as possible. The car is still running great and we could not be more pleased. We will definitely be repeat customers when the need arises. read more

Definitely one of the best dealers I've been to. Bought a 350z Enthusiast and I've been nothing but satisfied with my purchase. The owner is also very honest and helpful with making a purchase. As soon as I saw the car and the condition it was in. I was sold. I would definitely recommend this dealer if you're looking for a car to buy! read more

Excelent car buying experience! I highly recommend Rose City Auto Sales if you are looking for a reliable place, good price for quality-product and above all, the good predisposition and attention of the seller. The car was exactly what expected and agreed. I left super happy with my new car! read more

The best car buying experience I've ever had! Shant was knowledgeable, helpful and cordial to every need I had. The entire experience just felt right. Buying a used car can be a sketchy experience some times. At Rose City I felt that I was being taken care of and not taken advantage of. I waited to write this review after driving my car for about three months now. I've had zero issues and have really put the car to the test. I've driven from LA to southern Oregon three times now in the vehicle and she's smooth sailing. No mechanical issues. No issues what so ever. Just a clean, smooth, reliable vehicle. I'm so pleased with my purchase and experience here at Rose City Auto Sales. 10/10 recommend. Thank y'all for everything!!! read more

I had an appointment to test drive a Nissan Leaf but then I found out it was all electric, so the owner directed my attention to a Fiat 500 that was awfully nice. I took it for a test drive and it road extremely well,held very good to the road. When I got back to his shop I told him he didn't have to twist my arm that I wanted to buy it. The price was great and the mileage was just a tad bit over 50,000 miles. The car was a 2016. I really couldn't have asked for a better bargain. The owner was very polite and very respectful and catered to my needs.I would recommend this dealership to any one who is in the market for a used vehicle and wants a good deal. read more

I just purchased a 2008 Acura with super low miles & in superb condition. Shant, the owner, is a man of integrity & was very patient with me while I got my financing together despite having several higher bids come in. I have been car shopping for over a month & I had the best experience at Rose City Auto Sales. Shant went above & beyond with some requests of mine and took the time to show me how some features on the car work. He even spotted me when I was pulling out of the lot in reverse unlike your typical salesman who are done with you and move on to the next sale. All I can say is this man is a class act and good conversation. Guaranteed I will be back for my next car purchase. Thank You Shant! read more

My wife and I were looking for an older model Volvo to replace a vehicle that had died. We went to several car lots out in SF Valley and scoured Craigslist for a reasonably priced vehicle. Our experience at the other lots is what we expected from the stereotypical car salesperson. Our experience with Shant was very different. He was honest and transparent throughout the transaction. He thought his mechanic had smogged the car before we drove it off, but when I went to register it the smog wasn't in the system. Shant checked with his mechanic and somehow it hadn't been done. He had me drive it right over and had it done immediately while I waited free of charge. He gave us an honest deal on the car with good service. He is relatively new to town and deserves to be supported by the community. read more

Shawn was a super nice guy! He helped us a lot and was super easy going. All the cars in his lot were nice and a great price! He helped us find what we were looking for and I would 10/10 recommend! read more

Bought a car from them back in November 2019. To this day, I'm still waiting for the title which has been communicated to the sales guy. It's supposedly on it's way for a while now...... so here I am getting harass by DMV for registration while I wait the the title............. read more

Beware of this car dealership. Shanti or whatever his name is will treat you as if your money is not meaningful to his business. This guy is so unprofessional it doesn't make any sense. Poor business practices and doesn't follow up on conversations when he says he's going to call you back. He will hang up in your face and disregard you as a consumer. If I can give this place zero Stars I would. I'm from the Bay Area so I was looking to close the deal via phone with a pre approval from my local credit union. So this was an easy transaction for the right business man you would think right???? I called the Rose city auto sales and we set up a deal. He gave me an offer which I accepted it. He even went as far as sending me the purchase agreement via email. I reviewed it, sent it to my credit union and got back to him ready to seal the deal. He said he would call me back after he was done dealing with another customer and he never did. I waited approximately 3 days to see if he would call back. After not hearing from him after he took all of my valuable information i decided to follow up with him. How unethical is that. Once I got in touch with this guy he answered the phone and said oh I'm busy right now and hung up on me.His excuse was that he was holding his infant daughter and couldn't talk at the moment. What??? This guy is arrogant and incompetent. He displayed so many red flags , I should've ran with my 30k check. These are poor business practices and I would never recommend him to nobody. This type of establishment should not be in business. He never once made me feel comfortable about the transaction. It almost felt like a scam because he took my driver's license photo copy my information and he never delivered. Do not and I mean do not do business with these people they are scam artists and act like they dont need your business. I will be reporting them to every platform possible to save us consumers from dealing with "Shanri" and his team of vultures. read more
