Testimonials


 

 
 
Just after a somewhat unpleasant experiencein  Kearny Mesa, I searched elsewhere for the car I wanted - a 2006 Honda Element EX-P. I landed a beautiful find at the West Coast Auto Finance Dealership. This 2006 Honda Element was packed with extra goodies, such as a sunroof, 4WD, brand new tires and brakes; and a near perfect exterior and interior. The added PLUS was that the price was much fairer than that of their competitor's. The brother team of Sean and Mark Attai are  both professional and friendly; and will make you feel at home and put no pressure on you to buy. They are not ultra hype like a lot of car salespeople, rather calm and poised. That is not what I saw Elsewhere - just over-hyped auto prices and a pushy, telemarketing style of selling.  Sean and Mark maintain a sleek and clean office and lot and the wait was not very long at all. My eight-year old found the waiting times bearable and did not lose her wit. Overall, your business here is wanted! I drove away a very happy car owner! Thanks Sean and Mark!!

Incredible Customer Service

by from Lake Elsinore, CA |

From the time I first saw their listing and called the dealership, Mark has been nothing but perfect!! I had been in a car accident that totaled my car and had to get a replacement right away. They helped me secure financing that was challenging and had me in the car that same day. They even stayed late so I could make the drive to get to them. They were sensitive to my situation of being injured and just made the deal happen!! Without hesitation, I would refer them to anyone. As a side note... I do not give out reviews easily. Something extraordinary has to happen to make me take the time to write about a transaction. Thanks again Mark for EVERYTHING!!

Great Service

The service here is excellent. The salesmen are friendly and helpful and don't pressure you into things you don't need. They helped deal with the bank and took care of all the paperwork. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends.

AAA Rated Buying Experience

by from Charlotte, NC |

I had a unique situation, in that I was shopping for a specific vehicle (<100k miles, 2007 year model, Tundra Long Bed (i.e. eight foot bed), and <$20K) and live on the east coast (NC). Once I saw West Coast's internet add for their 2007 Tundra, 5.7L, Long Bed, I fell in love with it. Mark worked expeditiously to make the transaction work and provided immediate feed back to all of my questions. At my request, once I felt fairly certain that I would purchase the vehicle, Mark agreed to have it delivered to the local Toyota dealership to have a pre-purchase inspection performed and address any issues disclosed. Mark even had one of his staff members (Alonzo) pick me up at the Airport. Once I arrived at the dealership, Mark had all of the documents in order and had me on my way in short order. The level of service and the manner in which I was treated, was exceptional. I was promised on the front end, that I would not be disappointed with the vehicle and I was anything but disappointed !! I might also mention, that I was driving the vehicle cross country (one of my bucket list items), from San Diego back to NC. Much to my surprise, Mark checked in on me during my journey home to ensure that there were no issues with the vehicle and that all was well with me. I have purchased a number of vehicles during my lifetime, but I have to say, this was indeed a "AAA Rated Buying Experience".

I worked with Mark to purchase a 2010 IS250. Description very good and he was a nice guy to work with. He cut to the chase without trying to sale other things. The transaction was easy and I would do business with this dealership again.

Super Easy Process! Happy Customer!

by from San Diego, CA |

Mark is a financing hero! As a first time buyer, I was extremely overwhelmed by everything involving the purchasing process and weary that I would be taken advantage of. Mark made it all such a breeze! He got me into the car I wanted, a 2009 Toyota Corolla, with an outstanding APR! I'm very lucky to have found West Coast Auto Finance and recommend them without hesitation.

Great service!!!!!

 

by from San Diego, CA |

What a great choice we made when stopping by West Coast Auto Finance! It was our first time buying from a " Non-Big named dealership" and we were a little weary, and didn't know what to expect. It was extremely easy for us to decide to purchase a truck from here when we viewed the lot and saw nothing but high end, well maintained vehicles. Our dealer was very knowledgable and easy to work with. Very patient, too, since we had our two year old with us, and everyone knows how much patience a two year old has. The whole process took a couple of hours only because our dealer wouldn't give up on finding the best lender for our loan. All in all I don't have one negative thing to say about them. Excellent work guys, keep it up!!!!! Best Regards, Angela Andres

Happy customer

 

by from San Diego California |

It was my first time purchasing a vehicle and they made it so easy. The salesman was very knowledgable and gave me his honest opinion about the cars I was looking at. I'm very satisfied with my purchase of a 2008 Honda CRV that is in almost perfect condition. The condition of the car was a lot better than every other one I have seen in the same price range. The dealership also mailed me my tags, license plate, and a check for what I had paid over with the DMV fees!

Great dealership experience

by Sergey from San Diego | February 19, 2013

I was looking for a used car online and after I found what I was looking for at West Coast Auto Finance decided to check it out. After all dealership stories and angry reviews online was kind of skeptical. I did a research and was surprised how all customers were happy with this company. The website has a good pictures of all cars, a lot of info and carfax. I stop by and check the car, it was in a great shape (new tires, brakes, oil change, super clean inside and outside) as all cars on the lot there. Mike showed me the car and next day I took it for a test drive and bought it. All process was fast and easy, no pressure. They gave a little reasonable discount and helped with a couple of things. So I had a great experience and recommend this place!

Five Star Customer Service

by Topcat from San Diego, CA | December 6, 2012

I loved this place. They picked me up because I didn't have a car at the time. I felt I got the star treatment.
Mark and Sean went out of their way to make sure I got the best deal. I was so impressed with how
they cared about me being a single mother and wanted me to have the best. Their not about the money,
their about the people.
Love,love,love!! Tasha

Very nice experience!

by Fun with the Fit from San Diego, CA | November 2, 2012

I had a pleasant talk with Sean on the phone, and they were very pleasant in person. We purchased a 2008 Honda Fit. They agreed to fix three things, including two significant dings in the paint, a new tire, and a front-end alignment. Not only did they do this, but they detailed the car. It looks like brand new and it's 4 years old! Very nice guys. Even closed early on Halloween to have fun with their kids.

Great Car Shopping Experience

by Abhi A from San Diego (UTC) | October 24, 2012

I bought a 2007 CLK350 and the car was exactly as advertised. Car drives (and smells) like new .
The exterior looks so immaculate, no one could guess this was a 5 year old car.
Mark was terrific during the saleprocess and helped me out a great deal with the financing process.
Genuine guy. The dealership also looks greatunlike other used car lots despite having
great prices on their cars.

Excellent Car...as advertised!

by JNSP12 from San Diego | September 4, 2012

Sean and Mark were great. There are a lot of shady used car dealers in San Diego...
selling Junk titlesand giving a nice detail, but the car has mechanical issues.
My wife and I bought a 2007 BMW 530I for aGREAT price (under KBB).
I took the car to the BMW dealer for an inspection and they were very impressed
with how well the car was maintained. Bottom line - WCAF didn't maintain it...
but they did stay true to their word. GO HERE.

Nice Dealership

by Barney and Kate from La Mesa | August 16, 2011

We were looking for CR-Vs and this dealer has a 5 speed manual one. Since we prefer manual shift, we went down to take a look. We found the owner to be professional, friendly, and honest. We test drove the vehicle and decided to buy. They told us all the repairs that they did on the car, and that it would need a timing belt in about 15-20K miles. This CR-V was missing the storage cover, so he gave us one from another CR-V, and saw that the spare was very old and bought a new spare for us. We would buy from this dealer again.
