Car 1234

Great place to buy a car. Was a bit weary of any used car place, but was really impressed … Took my Mom and her boyfriend here and bought a nice sport utility. The CD player was bad and they immediately put in a brand new one (which was nicer than original one). Great prices! Great customer service. No pressure in the least. Highly recommend them.

Car1234 Is the best for used vehicles, l got my 2015 Mazda3 here for an amazing price! If you’re in the market for a awesome car come see Jeff.

I bought a Mazda3 manual 2005 from Car 1234 this fall, and it was a true pleasant experience! The staff was very helpful along the way, and they honor their all their stated policies on 2 day returns, etc. I took the car to a pre-​purchase inspection, and as promised, they fixed the serious things that were found during the inspection. They helped out with anything I asked, even after the purchase, and I am very happy with the car and the process!
Only problem now is that 2 months later I still haven’t received the registration. Will bump the review to five stars if it arrives before the temporary expires.

This place is great! I never thought buying a used car from a dealership could be a pleasant experience but both Mike and Robert were very accommodating and I feel they are something as rare as honest car dealers. Especially Mike took very good care of us when we bought our Mazda 3 here. We took it to another mechanic for a pre-​purchase inspection and the problems they found were quickly fixed by Car 1234 at no cost and we were offered a loaner car to use in the meantime.
The only downside right now is that we still haven’t received the new registration and title that we were promised to get within 30 days. It was a bit annoying to get pulled over by the cops on our roadtrip over the holidays… Not sure if it’s Car 1234 or if DMV’s fault though.
All in all, I would definitely buy my next car here.

Good place and very up to date with their line-​up. There were no surprises and any concerns were addressed. Didn’t have an issues with any of the transaction that had taken place and feel comfortable that what I am leaving with the lot today will not be on another lot. Thank you.

Updated old review:
After seeing my comments the owner contacted me and refunded the cost of the car inspection even though I had already purchased a car somewhere else. Something he didn’t have to do but I greatly appreciated

I purchased a Ford Focus from this dealership last month and I must say I enjoyed my experience and still enjoy my car today. Car 1234 is a USAA authorized dealer and I that is how I was able to find them. I live in Lemon Grove so if it weren’t for their website I probably would never find them. As soon as I saw the car I knew it was perfect for me because it was compact and fit my price limit! They included all of the important details on the website regarding the car and great pictures.
The day I went to the dealership I met with Mike and he was very laid back and professional. I told him the car that I wanted to test and he gave me the keys and allowed me to take the car for a test drive on my own. I appreciate him doing that so I could relax and comfortably test out the car. I did not take the car that day because I still wasn’t sure about trading in my jeep. Mike was not pushy, he provided great customer service!
Cut to the day I came to pick up the Ford Focus and drop off my Jeep I worked with Robert! Robert was even more laid back than Mike! He was professional, and courteous the entire time I was there. He helped me complete my transaction and made me feel like a valued customer. Most dealerships have a way of being pushy, and then making you feel like a number once they have sold you! Not this dealership! Over the next few weeks anytime I had a question I could text Robert and he would always reply and help out! He is a funny and cool car salesman who is also professional and precise at what he does! Every time I go to the dealership they remember and great me by name! Awesome job you guys! I hate the car buying process, but you all made it smooth and easy! Thanks!

I saw many nice reviews about this place on Unilocal,so I decided to come and check the place out. Ended it up buying a Toyota Yaris 2011 with a good deal.
I like this place because they are fair and honest. The information about their cars is written fairly on the website. If a car is savage, they are fair enough to tell you before you come all the way to the place.
In addition, they don’t push you or make you feel uncomfortable to buy their car. You can comfortably take you time to make a decision.
The after sale service is awesome too. I had a problem with a car battery. Mike and the staffs replaced a new better one with no charge. They even washed my car after they fixed it.
Honest business, great service and reasonable price!

I recently was in the market for a car and after much research I fell upon Car 1234 and man am I glad I did! I have never had such an effortless experience buying a car. Jeff Roman was my point of contact. He is so genuine, knowledgable, and kind. He really listened to what I needed and went above and beyond to provide it for me. I also had the pleasure to do business with Mike (the owner) and Azi, they too were so helpful and made sure I was more than satisfied with my purchase, a 2012 Honda Accord.
THANK YOU so much gentlemen!!! I am in such gratitude for your consistency, honesty and generosity!!! You are now forever apart of my family, anytime we need a new car!
I would more than recommend this place to anyone I care about…
Great selection, impeccable staff, generous, honest company!
Thank you for your commitment to being the best!

Recently, I bought a used Honda Fit sport from this establishment. I met with Robert, who seemed very reserved and soft spoken, but he was a great help. He didn’t hide any facts about the vehicle and answered many of my questions. The vehicle itself wasn’t too bad. It had 65 000, some cosmetic wear and tears. It was used heavily by the previous owner, but utility and mechanically, the vehicle was sound. It worked and that’s what mattered to me the most. I am a bit of a car enthusiast so I plan to make it a little project.
I did my homework before arriving and decided to inspect the car myself. My advice is to take the time to research vehicle vins and cross check the titles against what the dealership will give you. The vehicle was in a wreck previously, luckily Robert was kind enough to show me before filling any paperwork, but assured me that the car was clean title. Had I not looked up the vin myself prior to arriving, I probably wouldn’t have believed him. He told me that this vehicle had been sitting in the lot for almost 6 months, and the main reason was that the rear trunk cover for the spare tire was missing, making that a deal breaker. Robert assured me that he could get a replacement, and sure enough, he did so promptly. Thanks again! I did see more cosmetic wear over the weeks, especially on the inside, like a tear on the «oh sh – » bar on the passenger side, and a small tear one the seat pocket of the passenger seat. There were also cuts and scratches on the interior, but, for a car that’s made to be utilitarian, and with 65 000 miles on the clock, that’s too be expected, and it really didn’t bother me. I do plan on turning this car into a project anyways. But for those who aren’t like me, who probably appreciate a cleaner interior, you could probably find one suitable to your liking from this car lot, though I can’t say much because I only checked the Honda Fit, considering it was the car I really wanted to take home.
There is a lot I can say about the condition of this car, but to sum it all up, it has been well taken care of by this dealership. Somethings can’t be fixed, unless doing so will increase the price, which in my case, and many others who are looking for a reliable and affordable vehicle, sometimes you can’t have those luxuries. I’ll list of the things I checked that showed me that this car was taken care of/​repaired properly:
— Oil and brake fluid was topped of and clean, and the engine bay was clean. Dusty, but clean.
— Tires were brand new, front and back.
— There were no signs of chassis damage. Checked the bottom of the car with a flash light, and the parts I couldn’t see, I felt with my hand.
— The shocks/​struts functioned properly. They say that if you push the car side to side/​front to back, it should only rebound once.
— I shook the front wheels to see if there was any play. When you do this, if the wheel budges, its a sign of a bad suspension component.
— Made sure that all the body panels aligned, and the doors closed tightly.
— Made sure that all interior and dash lights worked. Also, turn signals, hazards, brake lights, headlights, reverse light, daytime running lights and auxiliary lights worked properly. There were issues with the passenger headlight bulb and driver side brake light bulb, but Robert had his team address these issues.
— I took the car on a quick test drive around the block. I did floor it a couple of times, and checked the «sport mode», or auto-​manual setup, along with the paddle shifters, and man, did it shift like butter. It felt like this car was brand new! It was very responsive, so much that the lightest touch of the accelerator made this car jump.
* There was an alignment issue, but Robert told me that he had the front axle replaced, but didn’t get to do the alignment before I arrived. I plan to get the alignment myself after I lower the car. :P
There were more inspections I did, but just to show, I didn’t show up unaware and uneducated. Anytime you commit yourself to a huge investment, it’s always best to take the time to do you homework and prepare. Even if Unilocal shows this place to have a good customer base, and great reviews, if I weren’t prepared to inspect the car myself, the look of this place itself would probably «drove» me away (get it?). Don’t be afraid to hassle the dealer, and check the cars thoroughly. If the sales people don’t sweat, then they’re confident enough in their vehicles, and that’s always a plus. Robert did instill me with such confidence, which is why I drove off the lot with my Honda Fit, and I couldn’t be much happier. I even drove the car to Disneyland the very next morning with my girlfriend, and it was such a blast to and from.
To end, with all the hassle I gave him, he gave me an awesome price, which totally fit my planned budget, and his mechanics fixed most of the problems I laid out to him during my personal inspection while I signed the paperwork. Oh, and they also take Navy Federal! YAY!
Thanks Robert!

I absolutely love the Scion TC I purchased from Car 1234 back in March of 2015. I worked with Robert who is very easy to speak with and down to earth. He answered all my questions and was able to work with me to get a good deal. I would have given more stars but some things that were supposed to be taken care of did not go as planned.
— I was supposed to have a key less entry ordered which I still haven’t received (and am pretty sure never will)
— A tire light sensor that was on when I bought the car and was told it was easy to turn off. I’ve taken the car to 2 different tire places and they still could not turn off the sensor.
— Registration that took a couple of months to get and was never told the exact amount and that it was ready for pick up until I called.
I wish there could have been more follow up as opposed to me consistently reaching out to them to see where everything was. Overall I had a OK experience.

Got a sweet deal on a like new 2014 VW Jetta. Had a little ding on the windshield and it was promptly replaced for me before my purchase. I worked with Robert… got a free aux chord, car charger and portable phone charger after purchase which was pretty sweet.
The only reason why this place doesn’t get a 5 star rating is because there was only one Robert and a few other customers every time I was there. Besides that, I’m a happy customer!

Whoever was working today acted like he really really didn’t want to be at work. We came in with cash ready to buy and left with nothing because of the lackluster salesman. We will happily take our business and money someplace else.

Just bought a car from this place! We stopped by last night and spoke to Robert about a 2014 Chevy Cruze that we found on the USAA Car Buying Service. The car was listed as 12 800 on USAA but was actually 13 900. Robert told us of the mistake but said they would honor the price at 12 800. We didn’t want to buy last night but knew that we would come back today to buy. He said his off day is on Sunday so he’d let the owner Mike know that we were coming in. Mike knew exactly what we wanted to do when we came in today, and helped us expedite everything and gave me a great price on my trade-​in. And then he took a couple extra hundred bucks off just because. A gentleman named Joel helped us finish our paperwork, nice guy! There was an issue with a leaky tire so Mike told us we could take it to his brother’s car shop (because it was closer to our house) and he would cover the bill. Overall super satisfied. Special thanks to Robert for sealing the deal with us.

Got a great deal on a used 2011 Chevy Cruze!
Worked with us on the price and gave us new tires for the car. Very happy with the vehicle. Customer service was terrific as well, everyone was nice.
Recommend seeing the options here because the owner said he would beat ANY price within 500 miles!

UPDATE***
I have had my car nearly two months now and I am proud to say that I am still very much happy with my purchase. The car has been driving great and I have received all necessary documentation to place the car in my name. My experience with Car 1234 was wonderful and I am thankful to have done business with them.

I was looking for a Mazda in my price range and one of the first searches that came up was car 1234. It’s a small private lot run by a few gents who seemingly know their way around cars.
While I still am fighting my bank to get my finances in order, I want to comment about the service here. These guys sound like they care about what they do and the product they pitch. They also take care of the vehicles and make repair assessments on them as needed.
I’ll probably update this post once I get everything sorted through with my bank and hopefully +1 a vehicle but the place didn’t do me wrong. My advice is to have pre approved financing before you go shopping here.

First I found this dealer because I was looking for in house financing
there website had great deals on there cars large inventory I was sold.
Drove to this place well what a surprise as u walk in the cars aren’t all they seem to look like on the website but I had a car in mind so once I found it I wanted to test drive.
I was sold here I thought easy so once we get to talking about financing mike tells me it’ cash or I go get a loan they Dont offer financing because the one bank they deal with has high interest rates & large down payment mind you he hasn’t Even ran my credit or know how much I have to spend his overall attitude was like if u Dont have the cash I Dont feel like dealing wit u… Which made me just wanna leave like how do I know ur just not trying to sell me a lemon an never have to see me again what a waste of time.

My experience buying a car here was about as positive as you could hope for from a used car dealership.
I purchased a 2005 Dodge Dakota from here in September and as I drove it off the lot it immediately developed a 4WD issue, and to be honest I kind of expected something like that to happen.
I then contacted the dealer (Mano/​Mike) about the issue and he had me bring it in to be looked at. When I got my truck back they had completely fixed the 4WD issue in addition to another major issue with a tapping valve that showed up after I had dropped the truck off. The bill came out to be exactly $ 0.00 and he renewed my warranty from that date.
Now you may think «Well that sounds like what should have happened.» and you would be right, it IS what SHOULD have happened and it DID happen. Mano and his mechanic Amer have integrity, they are professional, and they care about their reputation.
From the salesman (I wish I could remember his name, he was a cool dude) to the follow up service this dealership will treat you fairly. I say they deserve all 5 stars.

When I first bought my car a year ago, I thought the service was great and they were helpful and nice. The deals they have on cars are pretty good; I got my 2002 BMW 325ci, 97,000 miles for about $ 8000.
I bought the car and paid to have trimming fixed as well and I was told they would let me know when to come back to get it fixed. Months and months later after my mom and I contacted them, it was not fixed, no calls, nothing. I first called and they said they got the wrong part – they never told me about this – then told me to tell them what I need. Still no follow up with me. I drive over there to tell them they never fixed my car which ended up causing a leakage problem that BMW quoted me a grand to pay off. I complained this problem to Mike, he was a little rude and annoyed at me and told me I was supposed to come in to get it fixed – which makes no sense of how I’m supposed to know when to come in or when the parts are ready. He continued to make me feel like I was at fault until he finally said he would fix the problems. He was helpful and nice later on.
Understanding it wasn’t completely Mike’s fault I’ll give him a better review. However I don’t appreciate the huge lack of communication for a span of a year to get something fixed after I paid for it. Unprofessional.
