Richard was my sales man. He started off with a friendly greeting and by my name. Making me feel comfortable from the start. He showed me what they had in stock that was similar to what I was looking. We then went for a test drive. I was happy with the car and he made the deal go smooth and quick. He was informative and knowledgeable about the product and always had a smile. Definetly recommend you stop by and ask for Richard if your in the market for a new vehicle.

If I could leave no stars I would. Was β€œapproved” for a down payment. Take an Uber in traffic to get there to be told no you need a co signer or $4000. These cars have 100k miles. It was a complete waste of time

Just bought a car from The Kar Place last weekend. Our salesman Richard Bell was not only a great salesman, he was very kind, honest, and helpful. He took great care of us, explained everything and made purchasing a car an easy painless experience. They allowed us the time to get all the documents needed back to them and allowed to drive the car home that same day. I highly recommend The Kar Place and Richard Bell to anyone looking for a great experience when buying a car. I’ve told all my friends if you’re looking to buy a car go see Richard Bell at the Kar Place!!

I have a very low credit due to me helping out. I tried to find a dealership that could work with me and lend me a car. I went to multiple before and all they kept asking was for $4000 down.

Richard Bell is the man. I came in, in desperate need of a vehicle. He worked his magic even after closing hours. Stayed a whole extra hour and a half just to make sure I drove off in a car. Talking about helping someone in need. I appreciate his hard work and the perfect customer service. This place is the best. Thank you!!

Review β„–32

I cant say enough about The Kar Place. Mario contacted me by phone prior to me setting up an appointment with him at the dealership. I explained to him what I was looking for, how much money I had down, and where I wanted my monthly payments. He provided me with detailed instructions on what I needed to bring and gave me the reassurance that they would be able to get me into a vehicle. Yesterday I went to the dealership and Mario was a man of his word. There was no attempt to change any of the previously mentioned requirements. He allowed me to pick the vehicle that would best meet my needs. I never felt like I was being pressured to sign for something that wasnt going to work for me. Yesterday I drove home with a car that I am very happy with and the monthly payments that will fit my budget. If you have been turned down at other dealerships or have had a bad experience, you should give Mario a call. I will continue to shop at The Kar Place for all my car buying needs. Mario thanks again.

Richard’s service was above and beyond!He personally picked me up from my house with no pressure to buy a car and I ended up driving off the lot with insurance and everything set up the same day. If you are trying to buy a car and have little to no credit I highly recommend the kar place. No questions went on answered I am so happy with getting the one I wanted as a first buyer.

PSA!!! THIS IS NOT A FAKE REVIEW! I AM A REAL CUSTOMER FROM THE KAR PLACE...Walked in one day and bought a 2015 Hyundai Sonata. The car definitely needed a lot work and as soon as I called the KAR place back to let them know the car needed work, they did not hesitate to call me back. Brought the car in and less than a week later and boy was I impressed. Brand new starter, complete full detail β€œinside and out”, alignment, and paint re done. ALL FREE OF CHARGE. This place definitely keeps there word and will help you out in getting a car with very bad credit. Couldn’t be more happy with the work that was done and would recommend to anybody needing a car. great job guys!!!

Guaranteed approval?? Yeah right... For the car they choose for you. Spent a week jumping through all there hoops. Left Weds with a loaner so they could equip the car with a GPS. And when I returned with the last few items they asked from me they tell me I have to take the car they loaned me. If Im going to make payments on a car I at least want it to be the car I want. No one bothered to tell me anything till I got there. Ridiculous!! Avoid this dealership at all costs. They do not stand by there motto!

In fact, Ive already given out 5 of Christinas cards to people looking for a new car. Thank you The Kar Place and Thank You Christina for making my car buying experience a great one!

I recently went to the Kar Place by chance to look at a car I saw on the lot. I didnt think I could qualify for the credit I needed to get the car until.....along came Luis! What a great salesperson he is! Not only did he help me with finding the car I wanted, but actually got my credit approved! He was so professional and positive about the whole experience. He walked me through some rough spots and answered all of my questions and concerns. I cant say enough about Luis and the others who were so helpful to me in finding my car! I am recommending you guys to anyone I know that maybe looking for a car. Thanks again Luis!

I bought a car in February 2016. I had no credit and they got me into a vehicle within a couple of hours. On the way home driving my car starts overheating. I bring it back. It takes one week to fix the problem. The car consistently ran hot. After 6 months the car finally died. I had the car 6 months and need 3000 dollars for a new engine. Had more issues also but this is the killer.

Review β„–67

I found this place by sheer luck. I had just lost my car in an accident and needed a car but my credit was not great. I drove from Spring Valley to Escondido to a car dealer that supposedly would help and it was a waste of time. I was about to come back when we drove by The Kar Place. I was reluctant to try another place but my girlfriend told me to just give it a try, the worst that could happen is they say no as well. Pulled up and was greeted by a guy named Luis. He was really laid back and friendly. I told him the situation of what had happened that I really needed a car for work and I also explained my credit issues due to divorce. He was very understanding and i also told him i had very little to put down. He had me look around the lot for something i liked. There was one tahoe that was plenty roomy for us (since i have 3 boys) but it was a bit out of reach. I found a beautiful 2000 Chevy impala in immaculate condition fully loaded with low miles. Luis went out of his way and came back with an approval from his boss! I was extremely happy and very grateful for their help. Luis will go to bat for you and the owner will help you out as long as you are honest and upfront. I now have my own car again and has made our lives so much easier.......I really cant thank Luis enough for all the help.I would definitely recommend this place to anyone in search of a car.ASK FOR LUIS!

Very kind at first but once I didnt want to make the deal he turned in the rudest sales rep I have ever met and didnt want to give me my money back and even started yelling at my father and told him to go outside.

Review β„–90

I was about to get screwed by a lady from Miramar Sports Cars when she cancelled my appointment to hang out with her daughter instead of selling me a Subaru. So my friend and I thought of driving around Escondido to see what options we had for a vehicle. We ended up seeing a Subaru at The Kar Place and stopped to check it out. Not even a few minutes Luis walked out and introduced himself and asked if we needed help. So we asked about the Subaru and he gave me really good information about the car when he offered us to test drive it I fell in love. When we got back he answered all the questions I needed and what was awesome is how much they worked with us to drive off in my new car! Then today as they promise to do my brakes and other small things to it I was very thankful for all the hard work they did and for Luis to meet me back at the shop after he was already done for the day at 6 p.m., He came back at 8 p.m. To hand me my keys and showed me the work they did on my car thank you again Luis and The Kar Place for a great sales experience
