    Just purchased my 3rd vehicle here. And it went the quickest that it ever has! Completely low pressure and pain-free this time. And I say that as someone with actual anxiety, and more specifically, IMMENSE finance-related anxiety. Aaron R in sales took a chance and cold texted me and I went in a couple days later and left with a new car that had 16 miles and zero dents instead of 110k and 2 fat dents. I got a great price for my tradein and it only took 2 hours including test drive, financing proposals for two different cars, and purchase of one car. I love my new Honda baby already. I get my service done here too and they have always been honest with me. And they send coupons that keep their maintenance prices similar to other oil change spots. And they're pretty quick, have early morning and weekend appointments, and they also have pretty good free coffee machine while you wait.

    The engine light on in my car

    I bought a car from Jim cash I went out of state for 2 months to New Mexico left the car didn't let nobody drive it I came back and there was something with the tire pressure so I had to take the car in they send it to Nissan it there for 4 days and of course they didn't have a rental for me and they wouldn't pay for one , I have been in accident fall I broke my collar bone so I haven't drove this stupid car I couldn't drive now my engine lights on and I called them to see what do I need to do so I can see what the heck's wrong with that engine light I've only had the car for 3 months so Mr Cash says that they can't do nothing about it that I've had it for 3 months now that I should have bought the extended warranty which was $3,000 on top of what I spent on the car this guy is such a joke he is such the worse salesperson that I could ever met they took advantage of me now I've got a s***** car and it's all because of Mr Cash Thank You Honda n Mr Cash for stealing my hard earn money n sold me a lemon You were so pushy for me to buy it in the rain to top it off,If you are thinking of buying a car DON'T GO TO HONDA, OR MR CASH

    Over tightened oil filter

    I've been coming to this Honda dealer for years. Since the dealer changed owners it has gotten worse. I tried to communicate this to the manager but did not receive a call back after leaving a message. So now Yelp gets to hear about it. 1. Refer to the photo I attached. I took my car to them for an oil change. This time around I changed it myself. I've been working on cars and motorcycles for over 20 years. The service tech at Honda put the oil filter on so tight I had to almost destroy it to get it off. This is a sign that whoever did the oil change does not have experience. Hand tighten! I am certain this filter was tightened with a wrench. I've never had one this tight in my life. 2. The dealer is now charging a surcharge when using a credit card. The old owner did not do this. What happened to the cost of doing business?But now everything is passed on to the customer. 3. I called to speak with the manager of the service department. I was told he was at lunch and to leave a message. I did that and never received a call back. This proves to me that improving things is not a priority. I've been taking my cars there for service for probably over ten years. With the change in ownership I think I will look elsewhere for service.

    If I could give this place 0 stars I would…read more My family and I visited Gold Star Salinas a few months ago looking specifically for a DIESEL TRUCK. At first, the experience seemed promising; the sales staff were friendly and helpful, although they didn't have the exact color we wanted on the lot. They had me test drive a truck and assured us they would locate the right one. Soon after, they told us they found a match at another dealership and arranged to bring it over. A few days later, we returned to complete the paperwork. That's when everything changed. The salesperson's attitude was noticeably different. Even my wife pointed out how rushed and dismissive they had become. We felt pressured to sign quickly without the same level of care or transparency shown earlier. Within a few days, I discovered the truck we purchased was actually GAS, NOT DIESEL. The exact opposite of what we had clearly asked for from the start. When I called the dealership to address the mistake, their response was shockingly unprofessional: "What's the difference?" That alone tells you everything you need to know about their level of competence and customer care. The difference is huge! It mattered enough for us to make it clear from day one. Despite this being caught within less than 10 days, and the truck barely being driven. They made no real effort to fix their mistake or make things right. This experience felt careless at best and deceptive at worst. If you value honesty, attention to detail, and basic customer service, I strongly recommend staying far away. Sales people we dealt with: Mario and Victor

    I want to leave a very positive review for David Gonzalez (Sales & Leasing Specialist) at Gold Star…read moreBuick GMC in Salinas, CA. To be clear: I did NOT buy a car from David, but I'm writing this because of how he treated my wife and me. When I'm in the market again, David will be the first person I contact -- and I recommend others do the same. My wife and I drove 106 miles to see a used 2022 Honda Pilot after being told it was still available and that we should come in for a test drive. We even texted updates on our arrival time and asked if a manager could be available to help expedite things when we got there. When we arrived, the original salesperson was tied up and introduced us to David to help. David was friendly, engaging, and thoughtful, and as we walked to the vehicle he made us feel welcomed. Unfortunately, before we could even properly look the car over, a manager came out and told us the vehicle had already been sold. That was disappointing after a two-hour drive. The policy was explained, but the tone started to feel more like a lecture than customer care -- so we decided to politely disengage and head back to our car. This is where David truly stood out. David followed us, apologized sincerely, and said, "I want to make this right." He wasn't pushy at all -- just genuinely empathetic and solution-oriented. He offered to find the same vehicle in the same color, stayed in touch, and communicated proactively throughout the process. He texted updates without us having to chase him, responded quickly, and put in real effort over several days to try to acquire the right match. When the vehicle arrived, David immediately sent pictures. Unfortunately, it turned out not to be the color we wanted (and it's possible I mixed up the exact shade originally), so we didn't move forward -- but that doesn't change the point: David's professionalism, integrity, and follow-through were exceptional, especially considering the original issue wasn't even his fault. If you want someone who will treat you with respect, communicate clearly, and genuinely advocate for you, ask for David Gonzalez.

That said, I couldn't let more time pass without sharing how I was able to purchase my beautiful Toyota Tacoma in my dream color, Cactus Blue and it's all thanks to the truly professional Jazmine C. From start to finish, Jazmine was patient, honest, and incredibly straightforward about what I was getting and what to expect. She made the entire process easy and even fun. I've heard far too many stories about women walking into car dealerships and not being taken seriously or feeling pressured into an upsell, but that was absolutely not my experience here. I felt respected, informed, and confident every step of the way. I was in and out, and I knew exactly what I was signing up for. I wanted a reliable, safe truck for myself and my son, and Toyota Salinas delivered. I've had my truck for a few months now, and I'm still in love with it and so is my little! Javier also made the paperwork process incredibly smooth and efficient. I would highly recommend working with Jazmine if you're looking for a genuine, honest, and stress-free car buying experience

    Here's a polished but still firm 1 star review:…read more I was really disappointed with my experience at Toyota Salinas. I booked an appointment online for 12:30 PM and drove about 20 minutes to get there. When I arrived, I checked in at the front and was told to wait in my car because someone would come out to help me. I waited about 18 minutes with no one approaching me, so I had to flag someone down myself. After that, I was told there were 13 cars ahead of me and it would likely take around 4 hours before they could even get to my car. At that point, I was confused and frustrated because I had booked an appointment. They explained that the appointment time was really just a drop-off time, which was not clear when booking online. The whole process felt disorganized, slow, and inattentive. The customer service was poor, and I felt like my time was completely wasted. If appointments are not actual service times, that should be made very clear upfront so customers can plan accordingly. I would not recommend coming here if you expect timely or attentive service.

I like cars made in Asia and think they make the best cars for your buck. I've never to have a major repair done on any of the cars I've owned made in Asia. And I've owned 8 of them. My salesman, Mike, was cool. He never once pressured me to buy a car. if he had said, 'What do I have to do to get you into this car today?" I would have walked out. But he didn't. I've never been in sales, but I do know about that "Always closing" selling technique. I stopped by about 4 times to ask questions about the car when I went to Home Depot or Kohl's on an errand. I first saw the K-5 about 4 years ago and thought it was the best-looking car of the similar cars made by other car makers, but I wasn't looking to buy a new car then. So, when I decided it was time to buy a new car, the K-5 was my first choice. I'm well aware they sell cars across the street. I went home and figured out what I would be willing to pay for the car. I went back; test drove the car and made my offer. Mike took my offer to somebody, I've never figured out who they are, and within 15 minutes, they accepted my offer. I was satisfied with the deal and assume they were too. Then it was on to all the extended warranty stuff. Tino was cool too. He knew I was interested in that and didn't push me. He just did his job. If I didn't think this was going to be a good dependable car, I wouldn't be buying it. At 77 years old, this is may be the last car I buy. But if I do buy another car, My Kia is the first place I'll go.

I first reached out on Wednesday, and over the next couple of days we exchanged texts and emails about the car before making the drive there Friday morning. At no point during those conversations were we told there would be an additional $3,000 in dealer-installed add-ons added to the advertised price. Maybe it could have been mentioned somewhere along the way, but unfortunately it never was. Once we arrived, we learned the extra charges included: * $1,500 for a LoJack system we neither wanted nor needed * $1,500 for plastic door edge and door handle protection To put that into perspective, similar plastic edge and handle protection can easily be purchased online for around $50. After spending 3 hours driving there and another 3.5 hours driving back home, the experience felt very much like a bait-and-switch situation. The attractive online price got us in the door, but the actual price was thousands higher due to mandatory add-ons. To be fair, buried in the fine print was this statement: "Vehicles may be equipped with optional dealer installed equipment. Please contact dealer for final price." Unfortunately, I missed that disclaimer before making the trip. Let this be a reminder to others: always read the small fine print carefully and ask for the full out-the-door price before driving long distances to a dealership. I do want to say the sales staff themselves were polite and professional. They even bought us Starbucks coffee Friday morning, which was appreciated. This review is less about the individual salespeople trying to do their jobs and more about the dealership policies they are required to follow. Transparency upfront would have saved everyone a lot of time and frustration. Overall, a very disappointing experience and a huge waste of time.
