I been in the market for a new Phantom or Cullinan for the past year now. During my time quarantining, I hit the configurator for a couple hours a day almost to find that perfect Bespoke car. Once I narrowed It down, I decided to give O’Gara Rolls Royce Westlake another go. In the past, I had an issue with the Rolls Royce manager due to his asinine and offensive attitude towards anyone who doesn’t walk in and throw their money on the table. Well, I see some habits are the norm. Initially when I pulled up to the dealer, I immediately noticed the abnormal amount of Genesis and Alfa Romeo’s in front of the dealer with a couple Rolls Royce dotted in. I felt as if I pulled into a Car Pros Kia dealer. Upon walking inside, there were three Rolls Royce models on the floor, one of which was sold. The showroom was sparce and unwelcoming and so was the staff. I remember this dealer and others I’ve purchased from resembling museums and the cars are the art. Clearly there’s a disconnect between what Rolls Royce sells as a brand and what this dealer thinks the customer should have. Nevertheless, I sat down with my favorite person and began commissioning my dream car. After approximately two hours, I had a visual of what my potential car would be. It was later in the day, so I decided to have the other car built the following day. I left excited knowing one of my commissions would come true. My only issue was Cullinan or Phantom. I actually own a 2018 Phantom and know it in and out. The Cullinan is new to me, so I wanted to test drive it. Spend a few minutes behind the wheel to solidify in my mind which car Is perfect for me. I was immediately hit with a “No, Absolutely Not”. I instantly felt “Here we go again” and was immediately discouraged. I understand you can’t go piling miles on these types of vehicles however I wasn’t asking for a mad dash down the freeway or anything unreasonable. I just wanted to go around the block. When spending 400k plus on a car, you want to make sure it’s perfect for you. Especially if that test drive is the deciding factor between which car you commission. I also don’t like being treated as if I’m an inconvenience. The manager should be able to differentiate between who’s window shopping and who’s ready to slap down a deposit and order their dream car. I’m not asking for O’Gara to roll out the red carpet for me, however you aren’t just buying a car. You’re building a relationship and expecting an experience that once again, this dealer fell short of. Walking into this dealer, there’s an extreme bias among the staff that translates to the customer and towards the type of customer they cater to. Not only do I no longer feel welcome, the idea of ordering that dream car feels like a pipe dream vs. a reality. Way to go O’Gara. It seems the managers, including the general manager is clueless about highline vehicles and their customers. This experience is all too common and is unfortunate because Rolls Royce is a brand that inspires creativity, individuality and is the pinnacle. The people put in place representing that have picked the wrong career path. SIDEBAR: My salesperson is one of the best in the industry. She has a way of making you feel like family vs. another business transaction. She should definitely be in a position to coach the rest of the staff on simple customer service for starters.

They were so helpful and friendly. It was a pleasant car buying experience with no pressure. They went above and beyond to problem solve some challenges. Would definitely recommend this dealership.
Beware of pricing
The car price listed is not the actual price. The price listed is if you use their high rate financing. A cash price car is dramatically higher (and usually over priced).
Buyer
Worst dealer to buy from. Just purchased a gwagon and i still don’t have temp tags or dealer plates. I have called and emailed a dozen times including manager and still no response.
Great Experience
I can't speak highly enough about this establishment. Chris and Tyler were especially courteous and made our buying experience the best we've ever had from a car dealership. In case you're thinking, "Duh, when you buy something that expensive, they have to kiss your @$$," we bought a used Jeep for less than 30K. They're just good people, regardless of who you are or what you're buying.
HORRIBLE SALES MANAGER - RUDE
Horrible horrible rude people. Sales manager is the most disgusting human I had the displeasure of talking to. Left my Maserati for service and the door got dented on their lot before picking up. Merely went to them to report the damage and I got back a "we allow you to pick up on Sunday as a favor" really? If denting my door is a "favor" don't do me or anyone a "favors". Then he continued "what do you want me to do about it". How about a little empathy and some professionalism. This is the second horrible experience with these bozos. There won't be another and I will make it my summer duty to tell as many potential customers to stay clear of this dealership. Sad.
Great service and a very welcoming place.
There are amazing people here. Kyle and George thanks for everything. Definitely buying from O’Gara Westlake again.

Exceeded my expectations!
I recently purchased a GranTurismo S from sales associate Kari Lloyd. The process could not have been better. By email I arranged a time with Kari to see the car, and she asked me if I would like a cappuccino when I arrived. I told her my preference, and a cappuccino mocha was waiting for me. She also made scones the night before for me to enjoy while we spoke about the car. I had my eye on a 2011 that was a beautiful Bordeaux exterior with a light beige and black interior. We took a test drive and she showed me some of the features and spoke of others. There was never any pressure sales tactics and the sales manager was very understanding when I said I wanted to explore my financing options over the next few days. Kari kept in touch during that time by email, as I had explained to her that I work at night and sleep during the day. When I had my financing in place I let Kari know and we setup a time to meet on my next day off. Again, she had the scones and another cappuccino mocha waiting for me. I made my offer and within no more than 10 minutes I had a deal. No back and forth between the sales associate and the manager. I was completely done with the deal and had my keys in an hour and a half. Kari took time to explain functions of the car and helped pair the bluetooth from my phone to the media system. They had detailed it, filled it with petrol, made sure the second key was programmed properly and then I was off on my new adventure of owning an Italian exotic car. Just before I left, Kari noticed that something still needed attention in the car and we drove to the service bay where they cleaned a small area of the interior. Kari then let me know that the dealership was holding a car wash for their clients on the weekend following. Even though the event was booked up on their website, she got me on the list and I was treated with the same respect by other members of the team that I met. I highly recommend Kari Lloyd's professionalism and her willingness to provide extras to make one feel welcome and respected. The entire team made me feel like I was their most important customer. These days, I find customer service like that a rare thing indeed.
Great organization!
Great staff and beautiful dealership!! David in sales and Tyler in finance were awesome!
