*I wrote to long of a review so AI was used to pair it down. I have a detailed 3 page…read morereview/timeline* Two experiences -- and a two-month follow-up ordeal -- sealed my decision to never return. JANUARY - OIL CHANGE: I had an appointment and waited 20 minutes before anyone acknowledged me, while a manager sat visible in his office. After a delayed check-in, I was told it would take about an hour. Two hours in, my truck hadn't moved -- everyone had gone to lunch without telling me. I finally got it back 3 1/2 hours after my appointment. I gave them the benefit of the doubt and didn't write a review. FEBRUARY - TRUCK WOULDN'T START: AAA towed it in for a ~10 AM slot. By noon the mechanic had just pulled it in. Diagnosis came end of day; no one could get the part. Communication was like pulling teeth -- texts went unanswered, calls unreturned. Jason, seemingly the only service advisor, was always upbeat when he did answer. He's clearly overworked, and I genuinely appreciate him. The cause: a fried receiver box from a known, widespread rear glass leak. An extended warranty exists for '19-'21 Rams -- mine didn't qualify. Fine. But the warranty department took until Friday to deny a claim I'd called about on Monday. When the truck was ready, I waited 5+ hours for a shuttle that was supposed to come "within the hour." The truck was returned in an awful state, see pictures. Everything on the floor was pulled from under the seat, tossed around, and walked on. Then their key programmer broke, so I had to return Monday for my second key. THE FOLLOW-UP (February-April): Two months of unreturned calls and unanswered messages just to get a second key programmed. In March they told me my previously working fob was now broken -- their problem, not mine. By April, management offered a 60/40 split on both the sprayers and the key. Hard pass. I came in with two working key fobs. On April 15th I finally reached the Service Manager, Carlos, who was unaware of my case but resolved it quickly. The 16th was the first time I've ever seen two employees at the front desk. Bryan greeted me immediately, Carlos (the new manager) came out personally, and I left with two working fobs in 39 minutes. That visit alone would be 5 stars. FINAL NOTE: Rather than pay ~$300 for the sprayers, I pulled the hood liner myself. A hose had simply come off -- also during a prior dealership visit that had already destroyed most of the liner. My sprayers work fine now. I hope Carlos runs a tighter ship. I won't be back to find out, and I wouldn't recommend you find out either.

They worked with us to resolve a complicated issue. Sean in finance has great energy at the end of the day. Danesha, Ariana, Caleb, and others in service were all very helpful and friendly when I had car issues that were unexpected and challenging. The problem was addressed and solved within a couple days. I am glad to know they are there to help with my maintenance going forward. I'm very happy to have purchased our vehicle with this dealership.

My favorite place I've ever taken my Subaru to for service!…read more I've been coming here for years and cannot say enough great things about the guys in the service department. They are welcoming, down to earth, explain things, timely and efficient. Matt is usually my go to but have to shout out Gibert, Jacob, Rudy and newest associate Abidin who did a great job assisting me with my oil change and rotation. The prices aren't outrageous and they tell it to me straight when it comes to repairs needed for my car. In addition, I've had last minute issues and always get me in ASAP. Thanks Subaru Service, keep up the great work!

After moving from NV to CA, I started taking my 2012 Subaru Legacy to the shop at Cypress Coast…read moreSubaru. It's conveniently located in Seaside, so I can walk home using the bike trail & the shop offers the option to leave the vehicle at overnight if I can't drop it off in the morning. There's a van for people who need to get to their destination quicker while vehicles are serviced. For almost a decade, my car was serviced here - especially for the big stuff or manufacturer-required repairs. Prices are competitive, service team is A+ and respectful, and process is always transparent. There are NO hidden fees or unnecessary upselling. Just in case you stay & wait, there's a clean spot inside the dealership with plenty of natural lighting, clean bathrooms, comfy seating, & snacks. Wifi is free, too. If you like to walk while you wait, there's alot of hidden gems nearby. The only downside to walking around the different dealers is the lack of sidewalks, so stay vigilant. When the service team could no longer repair my car - fancy dual transmission that died at 160k miles, they had plenty of cars for me to choose from. The addition of the Ford dealership to the company just a few steps away doubled the amount of vehicles I could buy.. and buy I did. Sadly, I couldn't afford a used Subaru; but I found a comparable vehicle that fit my needs & budget. The sales team understood my limitations & emotional journey. I really really really liked my Subaru Legacy. After 3 hours, I gave them my useless Subaru and left with a Toyota. While I didn't want to buy another vehicle, my lifestyle required it. The experience was overwhelming, yet very positive. The best part, they will still service the Toyota!!

Go to Otis. He was very helpful. He is very knowledgeable about cars and is very honest.read more

Nowadays, I see him around where he's a popular regular and supporter at all the local car events. I don't know for how long but I know he's had his location for decades now. I live near the Otis Auto Sales lot. I had a couple of well used 90s vans I wanted to trade in for something newer and for about 2 years I have been walking by checking out vans on the lot. It's hard to find a used van that's not worn out. About 3 days ago I eyed a new arrival 2004 Astro / 150k mi, passenger van that was priced right but this one was different. I've been around used cars for almost 50 years myself and I can say without doubt, that this is maybe the cleanest 10+ year old used van I've ever seen. I had to look hard to see any signs of wear anywhere. I made my deal with Otis, got more for trade-in that I thought I would get and left feeling a little like I took advantage of him. I had to fix a broken vacuum line to the vent control that is common to that model and I replace the serpentine belt cause it was stretched and squealed some. Overall, the transaction was courteous, professional and without concerns. Thanks Otis. Nice dealing with you. GVSmith.

I had a great purchase experience on my new Defender with Bill Farrow. I decided to upgrade from my…read moreRivian back in June and was introduced to Bill after walking into the dealership. We discussed the 2026 OCTA and he told me that they would be updating the website with the 2026 model in the next couple of weeks with additional color options. I heard back from Bill the following week, and he was able to get me one of their first allocations for the 2026's. A few days later, we spec'd the truck and my order was in for an October delivery. No haggling on price or dealer markup on the truck. I called Bill about a month before delivery to make sure we were still on schedule. He made me aware of the issues JLR was having with a cyber incident. My truck was already waiting at the port in So Cal but would still be ready for delivery in October. Bill was also able to offer me a very good price on my Rivian for trade-in, which was fantastic. My truck arrived at the dealer 2 days before the scheduled delivery date in October. The delivery experience was awesome. Bill was very thorough, walking me through the infotainment and car features. They also put in the all-weather floor mats that I had ordered with the car. Regina was terrific, walking me through all the paperwork and helping with a wheel & tire package along with scheduled maintenance. I would highly recommend Jaguar Land Rover Monterey if you are shopping for a new car. I am loving my Defender and looking forward to being a loyal customer of Bill and the dealer for years to come!

We am very happy with the buying process and quality of the Sales team at BMW of Monterey. Joseph…read moreGrant was very honest and delivered on everything he said he would (spare key, removed a sticker on the car, additional cleaning, followed up with DMV fee, stayed late, always returned calls and texts etc). He knew the car and features inside and out and fully charged it before we came. I bought a BMW 330e from BMW of Monterey, CA in October of 2025. I had such a great experience. This is after nearly buying from Mercedes of Walnut Creek who added costs to the final price. Or BMW of Mountain View, where they tell you must give them a 9 or 10 out of 10 for their ratings, and hound us with sales emails. Conversely, Joseph at BMW of Monterey was very respectful of our time, and never gave us a sales pitch. He did not add any costs to the price. The vibe at BMW of Monterey is one of teamwork and customer first, Sales people don't fight to claim you as their customer once you walk in the door. It was a huge relief to work with Joseph and his dealership. I am very happy I went bought my car at BMW of Monterey.

Broken promises and incompetence... At every level. We saw a car online and called them to ask if…read morethe car was available and ready, we were ready to buy and we didn't even want to negotiate the price, so the whole process should have been done quickly. I also had a pre-approved loan for the total in-hand and ready to go before we walked in. We got trapped in the dealership for a total of 4 hours, they made us sit in the lobby for over 30 minutes waiting for nothing before any paperwork showed up. Something that should have prepared while we were making our way over. After telling us how much they appreciate the service of our military members, they then let us know that they will not accept checks from Navy Federal Credit Union. We were forced to go with one of their lenders, even though I already had the check in-hand. That would have been nice to know before I already spent an hour in-store! So I had to take an extra hit on my Credit when really I should have just walked out. Luckily my credit score is high enough to take it. We sat for an hour waiting for them to find a loan for us, and we got a lot of rejection letters only because we ALREADY HAD THE DANG CHECK FROM MY BANK so of course new lenders aren't going to want to accept to give a second loan to someone! Whatever, we had already been there for so long, I was not leaving without this car at this point. We then sat there for another 90 minutes while they "finished the paperwork..." but didn't give us any idea of how long that would take so we could have used that time to do something other than sit there and do nothing! (This is hour 3 of trying to entertain our kiddo while we wait by the way). After that 90 minutes we went into some other guy's office and re-hashed all of the information from the past few hours all from scratch. It should have been an email or that other guy should have been present the whole time! He was just walking around the store we saw him several times just strolling! At the end of the transaction when everything finally went through, Walid, the salesman, said we would have to wait another 30 minutes for the car to be detailed. WHY in the last 4 hours was the car was not cleaned?!?!?!? Crazy. After we walked out we discovered that one of the two keys had a dead battery. I asked Walid if he could help get us a new key battery and he said he would "look into it." Fine. I waited a month and then emailed him about it, and he replied over two weeks later saying that he would ask the parts department if they had a key battery for us. It has now been six months and we haven't heard from Walid or BMW at all! All of their claims about caring about their customers are false. They got their money and now they have no interest in continuing to provide service, even after they say they will.
