California Beemers Teslers

I had an incredibly disappointing experience at this dealership. I drove an hour to see a Tesla that was listed online, only to be told by the salesperson (I think her name was Debby or Beth) that it was already sold. This is a common and deceptive practice that wastes customers time. If a car is sold, it should be taken offline immediately. Salesperson showed me another tesla that was $5,000 more expensive than the one I originally came in looking for. And mentioned another $5,000 in dealership add-ons, making the car a full $10,000 over my original budget. Her lack of effort was obvious. She brought the car to the front, unlocked it, and then walked away, leaving me to look at it on my own. The worst part came when I went back inside. She asked me, in front of all her colleagues, if I was "just here to look at the car," clearly trying to excuse her inability to make a sale. Why would I drive an hour each way just to "look" at a car? Her laziness and assumption that I wasn't a serious buyer were insulting. On top of everything, she seemed uncomfortable in her own clothes, constantly adjusting her shirt, which was an unnecessary and awkward distraction. It's unprofessional to wear something that makes you visibly uncomfortable at work. This salesperson needs better training on how to properly engage with customers, present a car, and not waste people's time with inaccurate online listings. My advice to her would be to sell the car, don't assume, and don't be lazy.

Didn’t mention interest when I bought the car and when I tried asking what the rate was on salesman said he didn’t have access and to ask the manager and everytime I ask for the manager he’s on vacation or with a customer and they never returned my calls. Beware buying a car here.

Untrustworthy and Rude – Avoid This Dealership I had a very disappointing experience with this used car dealership. After being lured in by what seemed like a reasonable price, they tacked on a ridiculous amount of hidden fees—well over what you’d pay for a brand-new car. These weren’t just standard dealer fees; we’re talking thousands of dollars in unexplained charges. When I asked for a breakdown, the sales staff became rude and dismissive, treating me like I was the problem for asking basic questions. The whole process felt like a bait-and-switch. It’s clear they rely on deceptive pricing to get people in the door and then pressure you into paying far more than expected. If you value transparency, fair pricing, and basic respect—look elsewhere. There are plenty of honest dealerships out there. This is not one of them.

These guys were nice enough to talk to, but when it came to having real questions i.e. "Where is a copy of the inspection report?" or "Can I have a detailed breakdown of costs?" they go silent and make you feel stupid for even asking the question... Here's their scheme: They essentially hijack your tax credit with nonsense "Add-ons" for ceramic coating and wheel reconditioning whatever that means, totally unecessary on a used car in my opinion. Also, the sale breakdown doesn't have the correct price under $25,000 to meet the tax credit so what they do is fudge the numbers to add on nearly $2000 to the "Add-ons" so you're paying $7000 for them. These guys lead you on, make you chase them and push all questions to the manager. Shady weird way to do business. Go elsewhere.

Insanely Shady I saw a car on their site that was advertised with the EV credit. I asked for an OTD breakdown, because what a lot of shady dealers will do is surprise you with add ons and fees at the end. Which in itself is bad, but for a car with the sales price right at the edge of the EV credit limit, it makes it disqualifying per the IRS: "Have a sale price of $25,000 or less. Sale price includes all dealer-imposed costs or fees not required by law." Surprise surprise - they don't do OTD breakdowns until you're there. I asked what guarantee I have of the price before doing so, to which I was told their fees are listed at the bottom of the sales page. That's incorrect - it is purposefully vague so they can add on whatever they want at whim: "Please note: Some vehicle images may feature powder-coated wheels or upgraded 20”, 21”, or 22” wheels. These enhancements are not included in the advertised price." "As an additional purchase at the time of sale the Cilajet application includes a 1-year warranty." They then told me there were some add ons on the car, but not what the price of those are. And insisted they are not hidden, but if I had to pry it out of you and still don't even know the price, that is very much hidden. I didn't bother and made my purchase elsewhere. There's only one reason not to give an OTD breakdown - you have something to hide.

Beware of Unprofessional Staff and Price Gouging at California Beemer Tesler in Costa Mesa. I had a terrible experience at this dealership. The staff was unprofessional, and the manager was especially rude—texting on his phone during our conversation and acting like helping me was a burden. Worse, they quoted me $31,500 for a car listed online at $24,990 -$20,990 After EV tax credit before california taxes and fees. —a $10,000 markup for the same vehicle (same stock number and VIN). Even after I questioned it multiple times, they wouldn’t budge or explain. It felt like a blatant scam. Save yourself the frustration—double-check prices before visiting and walk away if anything seems off. I wish I had.

I should’ve read the reviews before I came out to look at some cars. The worst experience I’ve ever had. We were greeted by a young girl with a crop top, belly baring shirt who had no knowledge of any of the cars because it was her first week on the job. Unprofessional demeanor and no one was able to help her answer the questions we had until we got so annoyed we decided to just leave. False advertisement on their website!!!! They add a mandatory ceramic coating on all cars that is NOT mentioned anywhere on their website. Just ridiculous how these people do business. Buyer beware they are big scammer!!! Don’t waste your time!!

This dealer will charge on top of the price showed around $4000 extras : $2000 for rims/tires - $2000 for paint warranty - Tax 8,25% $1500-$2500 - Documents - Trade in they will also rip you off, wholesale price for your car, so 50% of value.

Bait and switch. Called ahead of time to confirm that the price listed is truly indeed the price you'll pay for the car as I'm all too familiar with the shady tricks some dealerships will try to pull. Jorge confirmed that some upsell options will be offered, but they are OPTIONAL. I drove all the way to the dealership and was told by Kiana that the ceramic coating is NOT optional. I told her that Jorge said they are and she tried to claim he wouldn't say such a thing. Little does she know, I record all my calls. When presented with this recording which proves that Jorge lied and said the add-ons are optional, sales manager Rich said there's nothing he can do. Shady shady dishonest people. Don't go here.

Misrepresentation or fraud: CA Beemers sold me a car with a clean CarFax (2021) and when I went to sell it (2025), it turned out the car had damage on its CarFax from 6 months prior to my purchase. When I sold the car, the negative CarFax meant I received $12,000 less than the amount I would have gotten with a clean CarFax, like I thought I'd purchased from CA Beemers. I have reported this situation to the Better Business Bureau as I've been told the dealership is responsible for this misrepresentation/fraud and so far CA Beemers is trying to skirt its responsibility. Buyer beware, CA Beemers is not on your side. I will never use them again: 1) I can't trust them and 2) when confronted with an issue, they won't take responsibility.
