Within 100 miles of Oceanside. All recommendations welcome!

PS: We are considering both new cars (under 20k) AND certified used cars/car with a great warranty. 

North county ford. I really liked them, and our salesman even called us a few weeks later to let me know that the city of vista was doing a special promotion and we qualified for a $250 giftcard. 

Quality Chevrolet.... just watch out for the Indian guy. 

I went to bob baker vw and subaru. We got our certified used subaru tribeca that was listed for almost 27k for just over 19k. Also, the subarus are all certified in the subaru factory in indy so they are as close to new as you can get with a used car. 

Mossy Nissan was amazing. And they have both new and certified preowned vehicles. 

mossy nissan and bob baker vw suburu are great! 

Thanks! 

Paradise Chevrolet in Temecula was great. 

We've purchased 6 Hondas from Rock Honda in Fontana. 

Toyota!! 

for the non huge dealership, I recommend auto gallery in corona... if you are looking for 4 dr cars... he has tons of 09+ camrys and altimas under 16k... he is a family friend for many yrs... for large dealer we liked corona honda and quality toyota.. both n corona 

Jack Powell dodge in escondido(sp?). We went through the fleet department instead of the sales. Ended up with a brand new (only had 79 miles on it) 2005 durango limited. The sticker price was $42,000+ and we got it for just over $28,000. The great thing about going through the fleet departed is that they get paid to move cars off the lot where as the sales get paid off of commission. 

I hate NC Ford with a passion. Tuttle Click Ford in Irvine is pretty good! 

NC Ford with a passion

I know someone who just bought a truck there and there was a problem with the motor for the window and he is having all sorts of problems trying to get it fixed...after his truck sat there for 2 days they finally told him they don't have the part to fix it and that it was on order. Super nice truck though!!! 

Toyota Carlsbad 

Bob Baker Mazda in Carlsbad 

North County GMC, but we know the service manager there so he makes sure were well taken care of. He even had the company fix a problem with my husbands truck after our warranty expired. It would have cost us like $2000, but we paid $70. I've had good experiences with other employees there too. 

We have had excellent experiences with North County Ford!! For sales, we used Jason...I'm not sure of his last name but he looks like Shiah LaBouf lol

For service - Tim Jackson, he is a vet & gives military discount on top of GREAT service! 

Austin motors is where I got my car and it was super cheap and hasn't given me any problems. People think it's a brand new BMW, but it's really a 2001 that I only paid 7k for. It's given me hardly any issues. One time when a light came on BMW wanted to charge $150 to run the code scanner on it, so I called the guy at Austin motors (his name is chef or something) he told me to come down and he would run it for free. He remembered from 16 months prior and gave me a hug! It turned out I just didn't fasten my gas cap right...oops. But anyways, he is awesome! 

Mossy Nissan...ask for 'Henderson'. His whole family is Military and he worked wonders to get us what we wanted! 

We had the best experience with Ken Grody Ford and that is a lot coming from me because I HATE car dealers. Our friend also recently got a car from there and no problems for him either. 

we had a great experiance with costa mesa carmax.....ask for winston if you go there. 

Toyota in Temecula. Ask for Jon Cambell. 

The ford dealership in Valencia. They were very friendly and definitely not pushy. I called before I drove up there and told them what I wanted. They even held the suv for me for a few days till I could make it up there. They were fast and efficient we were only there for maybe an hour and a half. Best dealership I've ever been to. 

Bob Baker Jeep*Chrysler*Mazda in Carlsbad. Thay were amazing very patient and gave us an amazing deal on our suv :)
