South Bay Mazda review
The buying process was easy.
The buying process was easy. But it did help that I already went with a pre-approval letter and check from my credit union. The only dislike was the sell of warranties. If I'm buying a pre-certified used vehicle, I shouldn't have to buy another warranty to cover electrical if the original warranty is bumper to bumper!

Best car lot around
Jose was awesome I had a really tight down payment budget and he was able to get me into a great car better than I could have imagined. The paperwork process was so painless. It was amazing he had us in and out the door in under an hour.

2012 Nissan Frontier S review
Utilitarian, but a great vehicle
Very happy with the truck. Does not have a lot of towing capacity, but for my purposes, I could not be happier with the truck. It does everything that I need it to do and is very reliable. Handles off road better than could be expected for the size and holds up well.
