Auto Republic Fullerton

Buyer beware internet prices are not correct! Got to the dealership and found a vehicle, when I asked for the total price out the door they added $2,500 on top of the sales tax to the total price of the car. Be advised whatever the internet price is be prepared to add 5,000 more dollars onto that. When i said i wasnt buying, the salesman told me I should go find a car I could afford. Going to another dealership ASAP. Not how a veteran should be treated.

I Do Not Recommend Auto Republic Car Sold to me with Problems: In December 2021 I purchased a car from Auto Republic, Fullerton and a month later the handle cover fell off the car while I was driving it. Another week later, a major hose broke while I was driving and I incurred over a $500 repair bill. Auto Republic sells cars that have not been properly inspected. Although I communicated with the manager Harold several times about the handle cover falling off, he never followed through to help me. If I have any other major problems with this car, I will consult an attorney to see if they can help me recuperate the costs. Problem with Purchase: Auto Republic screwed up my car purchase by sending the car title to the wrong bank. I was under pressure from my bank that they would have to pull my credit again because it took so long to straighten out the mess. Purchase Experience: I traveled to Auto Republic, Fullerton from San Diego because I was interested in the Volvo that was advertised for $16,500. They very sneakily add $2000 in fees for powder coated wheels and Lojack that they don’t include in the listed purchase price of the car online. I got the price down a bit but apparently not enough. In addition, when I was leaving the car dealership they knew I was traveling back to San Diego, and although they told me that had filled up the gas tank, I realized after I left that they only filled the tank up half-way. That was a really low thing to do but not surprising to me now. I know it is a tough time to purchase a vehicle, but you would do better elsewhere.

Extra unwanted charges adding to the vehicles they are selling . aditional 981 and $895.00 LoJack Vehicle Recovery System registration fee, and $395 Clear Coat Package not included in vehicle prices shown and must be paid by the purchaser

I couldn't be happier to not find the car I was looking for but the service from the staff at this dealership. They were friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and professional. The buying process went so smooth.

Extra nonsense fees added at the end to raise the price. Prices not honest. Just post your real price rather than trying to reel people in with fictitious low pricing.

Got a wonderful used Fiat from Chris. The experience was good and got in and out in under 3 hours. From stepping on the lot to driving away. Was the most stress free car buying experience I have ever had.

I inquired about a car. the dealer never even responded to my request to go see the car. The least they can do is let me know if the car is not available if the car is not available. But no I still see the car on the website. But I still see no update or response.

Found them searching online @Cars.com. Had the car I wanted at the best price. Negotiations were smooth and handled in a timely manner. Very friendly and easy to work with the whole team. No hard sell. I recommend them wholeheartedly without reservation. Kudos to Alex Morales and Argenis Correa for their help

These guys were great to work with. Shout out to Andrew, Eddie and Harold for their hard work. We bought an 04 Honda Element from them a few weeks ago and I have no complaints. These guys work hard to make it as easy as possible to buy a car. They were easy to work with and no high pressure to buy. I gave them 4 stars only because I wish we could have haggled the price down a little bit, not because of customer service. Thanks again guys for all your hard work. Wayland Collins

Rude, unprofessional salesman that actually chided me for speaking to two different sales people. They said I shouldn't have "gone behind their sales peoples back." Then accused me of trying to screw them over somehow. It's obvious that each salesman is out for themselves and there is no teamwork or proper management to speak of at this location. Not surprisingly they said there was no sales manager there that day. No Sales Manager on a Saturday, a dealerships busiest day? On top of the most comedically horrible customer service ever, I tried to ask them why they charged more than $1,000 in extra fees on top of the agreed upon sales price, tax and license... they hung up on me. They also have a horrible policy of putting LoJack on every car they buy and making the CUSTOMER pay for it when they sell it to you whether you want it or not. That's $695. Bottom line is you can get better customer service anywhere and you can get a better final/out the door price anywhere.
