Then I sent the sales staff two text messages the night before , but I didn't receive any response. Day of the apt, I took off work, drove for two hours, only to find the dealership was closed (at the time of my apt) and the truck that we all knew I was looking at was sold. No one called me. Even when I arrived at the closed dealership, they sent me a reply to my voicemail and text message when I asked where are they for my 10 apt. Response via text = "Car sold" nothing else. That is horrible communication and customer service. I know it is a small shop, but this is basic stuff. Be cautious of this dealership... does not seem to be customer focused... the only good thing was there Ai responses when checking availability.

It was made very clear to us from the start that this was a salvage title; the price for the car was very low because of that. We'd never purchased a salvage title before, but Evan was clear, frank, and transparent about it. We sat with him and reviewed photos of the minor damage to the front quarter panel that the car had suffered in a classic "fender-bender." We are pleased to report that to that the Mazda is, in fact, reliable and in excellent condition. Cars are complex machines and there are all kinds of people in the car business, on the buying side as well as selling. When I read the few reviews here that are negative - when our experience was extremely positive - I am mystified...we couldn't be more pleased with the value and we also appreciate the time that Evan took with us to arrange the financing. If you're interested in a car on the Red Star Auto lot, just go on in. Talk to Evan about it; ask him any question. We're very glad that we did ~thanks, Evan.

I guess when he indicated that I couldn't take it to my mechanic because it would "slow the process down" I should have taken the hint. He claimed that his mechanic checked out the car and the only issue was the power steering pump would need replacing. Oops, yeah, don't worry about that broken motor mount that cost $400 to repair. I tried suggesting that maybe he needed to find a new mechanic. No response. Thanks for affirming to me that you just can't trust used car salesmen. Sad.

This was the worst customer service experience I've had all year. But im not sure i can call it…read morecustomer service because in the end they didnt provide any service. I brought my 2005 Ford Expedition to this dealership for a diagnostic and possible repair. I was told they would not work on the vehicle because it was more than 20 years old, but they could at least perform a diagnostic. I asked why a Ford dealership wouldn't service a Ford vehicle. Guillermo responded that it wasn't "their vehicle" and that they don't work on vehicles over 20 years old. I replied, "It literally says Ford on the side of the vehicle," and then asked, while pointing to his shirt, "This is a Ford dealership, right?" After that exchange, instead of simply explaining the policy, he changed his position and told me they would no longer even perform the diagnostic. I understand that dealerships can have policies regarding older vehicles, and if that's the policy, that's their decision. My issue was the way the situation was handled. The interaction felt unprofessional, dismissive, and unnecessarily confrontational. This experience reflected poorly on both the dealership and the Ford brand. Based on my experience, I would recommend taking your vehicle elsewhere if you're looking for professional customer service. -Chase

I couldn't be happier with my purchase, and am so grateful to have a reliable car that suits me. The employees here are honest and genuinely care about the community they serve. I would recommend Lisa to all of my family and friends!

By the following day I decided to return to buy the van, it was fairly priced and very nice. I got a good vibe from Sam, which also factored into my decision. It turned out to be one of my best vehicle buying experiences ever! It was a transaction completely free of drama and BS. I have now had the van for a few weeks and it has been great, but even better was being able to buy it without any of the crap that so frequently goes with a vehicle transaction. Thank you, Sam, I really appreciated that! If and when the need arises, I will be back, and will refer friends if they are looking. There is no better recommendation than that.

We haven't purchased a new vehicle for many years, so we decided to leverage a broker. From the moment we met to the moment we drove away, Greg was absolutely professional, determined, communicative and at the top of his game. He not only found our ideal vehicle months before it would be available (there was a loooong waiting list), but he also handled the negotiation. We couldn't be happier with our purchase. But wait.... there's more. Shortly after acquiring our Subie Ascent, we needed to get it tinted, wrapped and a few accessories installed. Greg didn't bat an eyelash. We had our new marketing vehicle completed in no time. Greg made the entire process seamless and easy from end-to-end. If you're in the market to purchase, sell, tint, wrap or even fix your vehicle, look no further. If you want it done right the first time - and without buyers remorse - then give Greg a call.

I rarely write reviews but I want to right a wrong today. As they say, "bad things happen to good…read morepeople". This is the case here. The gentleman in the review below, Mr Edward Tilbury is the owner of carbonfiberhoods.com. He is also a spoiled individual whose 1 star reviews on yelp represent more than half of his total 60 reviews. Check for yourself. This is not a normal behavior but rather a vindictive one. I kept my silence for months but I can't anymore. He simply wants to blackmail GSR. The story is as follows: I bought 3 cars from GSR. I had great transactions, superior service and excellent follow up with them. I referred my friends to him for high value cars (A Tesla and a Range Rover). He ended up going physically with them 5 times from San Diego to LA at NO charge. After buying another car, I decided to sell my Lotus. Naturally, I contacted GSR and they agreed to market the car for me as a valued customer of theirs, something they never do usually. Mr Tilbury expressed interest and reserved a plane ticket to come in town to buy it. Unfortunately, my other car got flooded the same week and as much as it pained me, I had to cancel the sale as I needed the Lotus. I apologized profusely to Mr Tilbury and refunded him the plane ticket via paypal immediately. I also cancelled my clinic for two hours to explained the situation to him the situation by phone. I offered to reimburse him for his time and troubles so that we can all move on. He declined insisting to buy the car which by now was back to being my daily driver. I explicitly informed him that: 1-GSR was the middle man and as such his reviews were unfair towards a company that had assisted both of us to the best of their ability. As such, the transaction was between me and him and they should be left out of it. 2-the car was NOT for sale but that in the event I were to offer it for sale again, I promised that he would be the first to know. I absolutely did not have to do that yet wanted to be helpful to a person who seemed to genuinely enjoy cars. He expressed agreement and asked whether he could call me later to inquire whether I had changed my mind and wanted to sell. I agreed and told him to text me at the end of summer in August or Sep. I had no intention to sell the car but if by then, I had changed my mind, then I would let him know. I get surprise by his texting me on July 27th, at which time I politely stated that I did not want to sell the car. In a twisted way, he unfairly and unexplicably went onto rating GSR (which has nothing to do with the transaction) a 2 star review. I highly discourage anyone from interacting with Mr Tilbury or buy from his company. Can honestly say that interacting with this gentleman is an undue stress and burden on anyone.
Yesterday, we just bought our second car from here. The owner, Ramin (sounds like Ramen), was…read morereally respectful, low-pressure, and an enjoyable person to work with. This company is really a one-man-band, and he has been in the business for 10 years. It seems his style of business is that he only finds clean-titled cars from auctions. Some may have had some previous damage, but nothing to brand the title. He gave us a free copy of the CARFAX. I can only imagine he would be willing to email you the CARFAX if you called him. Very amiable man. Any car he buys with damage is fixed with certified mechanics, but he was still very willing to allow us to take it to a near-by AAA mechanic (Pacific Auto Service - great reviews on Yelp) for a pre-purchase inspection. Everything turned out just as expected from Ramin's explanation of the vehicle. We were sold. Really great experience, and seems like a guy to go out of his way to give you good business (not aggressive, just willing to please if you have a question). If you are deciding to look at one of his cars, know that this is a trust worthy man to do business with. I would still inspect it, of course, and it will just give you more assurance of Ramin's reliability.

Just before 3pm I reached out to confirm his arrival, he said "I should be done in about an hour or two max". I again agreed. At 5pm when I still hadn't heard from him I reached out again and he said "I'm sorry this car is taking me longer then I expected, I might have to reschedule" Might being the operative word, I asked him when he would know for sure if he needed to reschedule and he never replied back....EVER. I 100% get that unforeseen things come up but it takes so little effort to communicate with a customer. 1) I shouldn't have needed to reach out to him each time he needed to postpone, he could have been respectful of my time by updating me and 2) Ghosted by a mechanic is not a good way to build up your business!!! BTW, Estala, changes $100 a hour which after I did a little digging is WAY higher than the norm for a mobile mechanic. Finally around 8pm when I still hadn't heard back from Estala, I decided to call a different company. Not only did they answer right away, he actually SHOWED up when he said he would, fixed my car really quick and charged me less than what I would have paid at a regular mechanic. Total cost was $480 for a new Starter (parts + labor) on a BMW!!! So, I should probably be thanking Estala for ghosting me as it ended up saving me money.
