    Water leak

    First off, the manger Nicholas and people in the dealership are rude. Don't buy a car here unless you want a lemon. They tell you, you buy the car as is but fail to tell you what's wrong with the car. Our whole process with this dealership was a joke. Will not recommend anyone to this dealership.

I sold my Toyota Tacoma to them after being told the process would be simple and that payment would be ready in about half an hour. Initially, everything went smoothly. They inspected the truck, finalized the offer, had me sign all paperwork, transferred ownership, and took possession of my vehicle. At the very end of the process, we were suddenly told the check would not be ready until the following evening and would need to be mailed unless we objected. This was never disclosed beforehand. We specifically explained that I needed the funds from the sale immediately in order to purchase another vehicle. After pushing back and explaining that we had been told payment would be ready shortly, they eventually came downstairs with a check. However, what they ALSO failed to disclose was that the check could not even be cashed for 24 hours because it would take that long to clear their own banking system. So to summarize: They took possession and ownership of my truck immediately, but I was left without access to the money for the vehicle I had just sold -- and none of this was communicated upfront. Had they been honest and transparent from the beginning about the timeline and banking delay, I could have planned accordingly. Instead, I wasted additional time driving an hour to the nearest Comerica Bank only to discover I still couldn't access my money. The lack of communication and transparency is beyond unacceptable.

He also neglected to tell me that when the weather is hot, the AC is diverted to cool the batteries... which means if it's over 80° i don't have AC on the cabin and I specifically was looking for a car with good cooling to keep my dogs comfortable. The AC is freezing cold when the weather is cool though. Would I have purchased this car knowing all these things? Absolutely not. But I'm pretty much stuck with it now.

We came in specifically because Antelope Valley Chevrolet's own website advertised a clear price for the exact vehicle we wanted (2026 Chevrolet Traverse LT, same VIN/stock number as the listing we screenshot). The advertised price was around $38,231 with their posted discounts. In-store, the numbers they presented were nowhere close. Instead of honoring the advertised pricing or clearly explaining, in writing, which discounts we didn't qualify for, we were pushed into a payment-focused conversation while the real selling price stayed inflated. On top of that, the deal sheet included thousands in dealer-installed add-ons (Cilajet paint sealant, Ghost Shield door edge/door cups, and an ELO GPS/theft product). We stated clearly we did not want those items and asked for a buyer's order with the advertised selling price and standard TTL/doc only. We were met with delays, vague answers, and a lack of transparency. We repeatedly requested an itemized out-the-door breakdown and it felt like they were doing everything possible to avoid showing clean numbers. Financing was another major issue. Jess was prequalified through Capital One and we explicitly asked that our credit be run only through Capital One one time. Despite that, we later saw indications that additional credit checks were run. We have requested a copy of any signed credit authorization and a list of every lender our information was submitted to, because this is not what we agreed to. The worst part was the customer service from the manager, James Gonzolas. He was rude, repeatedly interrupted us, and wouldn't let us finish explaining what we were requesting (a transparent breakdown and adherence to their own advertised price). He told us he had "no obligation" to help because we didn't buy a car, called us rude, and escalated the interaction instead of solving the problem. That is not acceptable behavior for someone in a management role and it matched the overall tone of the experience. We left because we couldn't get a straightforward, honest deal that matched what brought us in the door. If you're considering this dealership, protect yourself: 1. Screenshot the exact online listing with VIN/stock number before you go 2. Demand the itemized buyer's order/out-the-door number in writing before discussing monthly payments 3. Put your credit instructions in writing (who can run it, how many times, and with which lender) Transparency and respect shouldn't be this hard. We won't be returning, and I can't recommend buying here based on this experience.

After about a few days the car start shaking horribly and I felt ripped off the interior was all damaged and stuff missing inside the car but he assured me it ran well. Now within 3 days of my purchase I tried to cancel and return the vehicle but they would not return my money and only would trade me for another vehicle after a week of chasing them down. They would not show to their business after they sold me the car and one day I finally caught them there. They would only trade me a car as I mentioned and the second car was even worse the engine light, as well as other lights all came on the 3rd day but after I received that car. Again they would not show to their business or answer my calls. I got an estimate for the car that showed the transmission and motor were in bad condition and car needed about $3000 worth of repairs. I could not get ahold of them to return the car nor would they let me so I do not pay their excessive fees and they came and got the car. They then made up inflated charges to the tune of my whole down payment which is all the car is worth ($2000) and have the car and my money. By the way they change their business name often and move places of business as they are formerly known as Big Family Motors with horrible reviews. I offered to pay for the 2 months of car note I used it but the remainder should be returned to me. The car they sold me, that lovely piece of crap white 2013 Toyota Corolla in their ad photos. I wonder how many times they have sold it and took it back. They belong in jail.

The temperature gauge stayed in the cold area because of the failure. This all took place on a Sunday when everyone was closed. We looked up the Bakersfield Subaru and their ratings weren't very high and their phone service was not very friendly. Since we were traveling to Nevada, we went up through Tehachapi to antelope Valley where this Subaru dealer had higher ratings. We spent the night so that we could reach out first thing in the morning. Right from the first conversation on the phone we knew we made the right choice to come up over the mountain. I explained what we experienced with the car and provided the failure code and asked if she could check to see if the parts were in stock. Once the service person I was speaking to confirmed that the part was in stock, I asked if there was any way for us to get the car in for service, I also explained that we only had less than 12,000 miles on the car. She was very accommodating and set up the appointment for within the hour. Once we arrived at the dealer the excellent service continued. They took all the information and showed us the waiting area and then offered to drop us some where to eat when we asked about restaurants in the area. Within the hour we heard back from her and she confirmed what we told her about the failure code and that the repair would take around 4 hours. They also informed us that one of the rear shocks were leaking and that the total repair was going to be over $2200. I explained that we read there was a recall on the thermostat and asked them if they could get that covered by the factory since the car actually had less than 12,000 miles on it. She asked if we could wait until her manager was available and she would check with him to see what could be done. About 45 minutes later she came to us in the waiting area and said that they would cover both the thermostat and related parts along with the rear shock replacement however that we would need to wait for about 6 more hours. We agreed and started to hang around the show room. Maybe making some nervous . Our service person then came to us and offered a free rental car while we waited. We agreed and thanked her for going above and beyond. Since we were 300 miles from home we just drove around the area. When we returned our Outback was just getting done. We were extremely impressed with our service provided and especially the way our service writer Sayra Chavarin went above and beyond. This is truly cutting edge Customer Service! The other people at the dealership were very friendly and respectful. We will drive the 300 miles to purchase our next Subaru here at this dealership. Many thanks, David

Maybe pack snacks... and a map to a reputable Subaru dealer. My wife spent a week coordinating with a sales rep (Noe) about a specific vehicle. We confirmed the car, confirmed the appointment, confirmed the price was "negotiable," and committed most of our Saturday to drive 60 miles each way. You know -- normal things people do when they expect a dealership to be, well... honest. Am I the only one that finds it laughable that they chose "Trust" as part of the dealership name? Kinda like saying a cactus is cuddly! Here's how the dishonesty ramped up... minutes before our appointment (aka when we're basically pulling into the parking lot), we get a message: "Oh, the car isn't available for purchase yet -- it hasn't completed certification." Interesting timing, considering the car has been sitting in their inventory for over a month. Priorities I guess? But wait, the fun continues! We arrive, and suddenly Noe is nowhere to be found. Instead, we're handed off to another rep, Nathan Houston. Classic dealership relay race baton pass. Nathan was friendly enough while showing us the car, but when it came time to discuss price, the story changed so fast it gave us pro level whiplash! * The "negotiable" price? Suddenly not negotiable. ( I know shocking!) * The online price? Apparently the "absolute lowest"... except when they tried to quote us a higher price. * The explanation? Some mysterious documents claiming the dealership paid more than the advertised price (apparently they are a charity... disguised as a Subaru dealership). The convenient sales rep switch meant Houston could simply shrug and say he knew nothing about prior conversations. It felt less like buying a car and more like watching a live demonstration of "Bait & Switch 101." Or "Watching a masterclass in creative truth telling." Look, I get that dealerships still love the classic "Let me talk to my manager" routine. That's practically tradition. But the full bait-and-switch playbook in 2026? That's some retro dishonesty I didn't expect from a Subaru dealer. Given TAVS's already struggling online ratings, I'd hoped for better. Instead, we got a reminder that not all dealerships have moved past the old-school tactics. Bottom line: If you enjoy long drives, last-minute surprises, and pricing that changes depending on which salesperson you talk to -- TAVS might be your place. If you value transparency, honesty, and not wasting half your Saturday... look elsewhere. Don't take my word for it... check the VERIFIED reviews here.
