The dealership tried to charge me $995 for ceramic tint. Looked at the car and saw no tint on it. The sales person told me the tint was on the roof of the car. I advised him that was the stock manufacture tint that came with the car from the factory. Once I told him that he then changed and said they had not sent it out yet to get it tinted. Then the also tried to add $1200 protection plan or warranty for windshield chip and scratches. When I advised that I did not want the tint service and the protection plan for the bs additional fees they told me they could not help me.

Bait and switch pricing . Low on the internet, add 2k for useless add ons when you get there.

I’m someone who knows about cars myself. So knowing they weren’t trying to add extra stuff that didn’t exist or oversell their part was helpful. Only two things was that our seller talked too much not knowing the car to its full potential. For (example: he told me the car had a full 360 camera but it only had a back up camera.) and when it was supposed to be a quick pick up process took a little longer because they were busy. But overall 4.5 rating

I was genuinely interested in purchasing a 2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E from Miramar Car Center, but my experience left me disappointed. The salesperson I spoke with stated that $2,200 worth of dealer add-ons were mandatory and couldn’t be removed from the deal, even though California law requires such add-ons to be optional unless factory-installed.
As an active-duty service member, I expect honesty and transparency from businesses, not pressure tactics or misinformation. It’s frustrating to feel like sales personnel might be trying to take advantage of military customers who are just looking to make a fair purchase.
I hope management addresses this issue so future buyers, especially military members, receive the straightforward treatment they deserve.

Vehicle was advertised at $28,000, buyout price is $34,500. Clear coat and windshield protection added an extra +10% to buy the vehicle. Unnecessary and unwanted forced option by the dealership. I don't understand why they assume anyone wants to pay for these extra useless things.
Reached out and made an appointment for a test drive. Met up with the salesperson and
everything went well with the test drive. They were friendly but through the conversation it was
made apparent that the listed price did not include dealer installed options like an alarm and a
tint that were they said were non removable. They didn't try to sneak the charges in at the end
but it did feel like the typical bait and switch.

They are great with the information.
I sent a couple general questions, does the sunroof reduce head space for the driver, did the previous owner smoke? These are important to me because I'm tall and gave a breathing vondition. I received a reply indicating that I needed to call and ask my questions. I don't want a high pressure sales discussion, I was only interested in some info to decide if this car is right for me. I still have my original questions, no answers. I'm looking elsewhere.
We let them know we were coming to check out cars because they had many of the hybrid model we
were searching for, and they were ready to show us what they had available. Unfortunately, the car we
inquired about had already sold, but we found a lower mileage and newer version to purchase. Having
to return another day to have the mandatory GPS tracker installed was the only negative part of this
experience, but we are happy with the car we purchased.

Our representative was very courteous and knowledgeable. The cars in the lot were impressive.
Aug 12, 2022
The sales team was helpful the cars were really nice.
Was interested in a vehicle. I read a previous review about the GPS installation they charge you, so I
questioned the dealer representative about it. His response was that it is accurate and they can't 'unistall' it. I
told him that I'd be interested in purchasing the vehicle if they discounted the price by the $1,000 they charge
for the GPS. His response was that they don't 'haggle' on price but would ask his boss. He called me back to
tell me the vehicle is already slated to go back to auction tomorrow. Why would a dealership sell a vehicle at
auction when they won't get anything near their asking price for it? Not to mention the vehicle has been listed
for less than 2 weeks. Makes you wonder.

This dealership uses BAIT & SWITCH tactics. Their prices are lower up front as they require you to purchase worthless add on for at lease an additional $1K. Very deceptive and shady practices. They don't care about the customer, they just want to rip you off. AVOID THIS PLACE, YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!!
Mar 23, 2022
Car sold and the ad is still up. Might be a bait and switch thing.

Good
Apr 7, 2021
They refused to work with me on the price, when I tried to leave the manager followed me to the car saying I'll give you 100 dollars off, when the truck needed 2 new tires (~300.00) and needed a new fob (482.00)
Apr 7, 2021
Response from current dealership:
Thank you for the review Sean. We operate as a 1 price store similar to our competitors carmax, carvana etc.. We recondition our cars vigorously and replace any tires when below the 60% threshold, and car remote batteries are a simple fix! We are sorry we couldn't make it work for both parties. We wish you the best in your vehicle search.
Mar 15, 2021
Inquired about this car via text to dealer. Even though car has been for sale for over 200 days they would not lower the price that Cargurus.com said is over priced. They said, ‘these cars are fast sellers’??? When I pointed out the obvious problems with that statement I got no response. Shame.
Mar 15, 2021
Response from current dealership:
Hello Traci ! Thank you for your feedback and response. We operate as a 1 price store as many of our other competitors do such as carmax etc. We are sorry we couldn't discount the car to your budget. Due to the pandemic, inventory is very tough to come by and therefore we research our prices very extensively to find a price that makes sense for both parties, We hope you find the car of your dreams! Have a great day :)

Nice people and good prices
Unconsiderate liars, I drove 6 hrs with a broken back to buy a car that the didn't have, texted multiple times and for 3 days, before leaving and when on my way, Jake aka Jacob lied deliberately, I'm disgusted of how low and beneath a parasites they are, avoid them, can't imagine how much more they would have to do to sell a piece of garbage if they need to just to make a buck, money hungry people only care for themselves
May 12, 2020
The staff was very courteous and friendly especially Jacob.
I went to several locations car shopping. I will recommend
Mira Mara Car Center in the future.I would like to thank Jocob
Cruz for being very professional manner.

Found a car I liked and made an appointment to test drive. After the test drive I took a few days to decide then called Matt at the location. Made an offer and he got it approved by the owner. Filled out the credit application online and set up a time to fill out paperwork and purchase the car with Matt the next day. Received a text message that the credit looked good and was approved the the amount and terms then received a text that the car was sold. Not sure how the car could be sold when I was in the process of buying it and had my credit already run for the car. I feel things were done a little shady and could not get Matt to call me back again.
May 18, 2020
Response from current dealership:
Sorry to hear GuruFX564 that we couldn't finalize the deal. We do not hold cars for reasons like these, not even with approved credit do we hold cars unless we have a downpayment. I've been informed that we did not receive a confirmation from multiple customers that they were coming in that day to buy the vehicle. We hope you find something similar to purchase, thanks :)

Great Dealership

He was honest and helpful. Since San Diego was far
away and the car had high mileage with no CPO, I
decided to cancel my visit

Gabe was great at contacting me and showed amazing customer service.
Jul 20, 2019
I called in and ask a few questions about car and was told price was negotiable. I made a 30 minute ride to get there and find out that there was no room at price and at the bottom dollar, also started car and there was a CEL.

After having a horrible experience with a different dealership, I was so happy and relieved that I found a car at Miramar Car Center. Communication was great. They responded to me via email about the car I had inquired about. They were friendly and helpful when we arrived to the dealership. The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 was because the listing was slightly inaccurate as the car was advertised to have a feature that it did not have. Also, the car was clean but could have used a little more attention to the interior. However, the customer service and overall experience was great and we ended up buying the car. I would definitely recommend this dealership to my friends.
Apr 30, 2019
Answered all questions.and I had a lot of them.set up a time for a test drive,very accommodating.
Rude and sarcastic. Offered $1000 over high KBB and suggested I "get CarGurus to sell me one for that". They are way overpriced and rude.
Do not buy from them.

Response from current dealership:
you emailed us several times and offered below our internet special price on a unique car that there are no other ones in the country.its a 2006 bmw with only 14k miles.after several email replies that we can not discount the car,in your last email you said car guru and kbb is suggesting the price that you are offering without even looking at the car and we simply replied that carguru or kbb does not tell you where to go find a car that unique.we understand you are not happy that you demanded for us to discount the car 2k and we could not comply.its not right to do a bad review just bc the dea

Good dealership with a prompt response.
Great experience @ MCC! Sandro answered the phone when I called about the IS350. I drove in an hour later. Had my test drive, purchased the car, left for home with both of my vehicles with Sandro following. I then dropped he back off at MCC and I definitely shop cars here again.. but I'm keeping this F Sport for awhile! I absolutely love it!

Good service

This guy said he would send me pictures and never did.
Hi everyone! Please do not hesitate to visit Miramar Car Center. They have a
lot of nice vehicle selection for your needs and they make the process really
easy. Thank you so much Sandro, Peter and Allen for helping me out to get
the car that i want the same day. They are one of the "BEST" car dealership
in San Diego, California!

Friendly salesman and non-pushy assistance on finding a car for us.
Aug 5, 2017
They contacted me in a timely manner. They do not want to answer any questions about the vehicle unless you give them your number, or go down to the dealership.
I really liked a vehicle they have to.
Jun 28, 2017
I had a great experience with the Miramar Car Center. I talked to Ray and
another sales person (older) and they both were knowledgeable, genuine
and concerned about me getting in to the right vehicle for my needs.
I did not have time to look further the time I visited Miramar Car Center, but
I am definitely coming back to purchase from them.
Jun 23, 2017
Excellent experience
Clean good car with low mileage

They contacted me quickly, kindly, and courteously. I didn't make the trip down to San Diego from LA, but I would have bought the car if I did. Thanks!

Great follow-up by Joe.
Jan 2, 2017
The person who showed us the car and test drove with us was very kind but didn't seem very knowledgeable about the car itself. The people who handle the financing and the paperwork are phenomenal though. We ended up purchasing the car and they were a lot of help and even gave us a decent chunk of money for our '06 Infiniti G35.

Car was nice, however it was missing its navigation sd card which is standard on these cars. They said I woukd have to buy it.

Good customer service
vehicle very nice but more than I was willing to pay.
Jul 17, 2016
ok, but the extended warranty has to be purchased for this vehicle. When I
purchased my 2008 lexus the dealer extended the warranty at no cost to me.

Typical sales people. Tried to stop me from walking out..

This company made buying a car easy! The salesmen don't work on
commission so they are not pushy and trying to sell you something
you don't want. Eric, Ray, and Peter were friendly, proffessional,
and confident in what they were selling. LOVE my new car!

Phil was a great salesman.
Jun 7, 2013
These are really nice guys and I got a pretty good deal on the car I bought. The oil is dirty and I didn't get much gas, nor money for my trade in, but I got a fantastic car for a fair price. I like them.
May 29, 2013
It is a 2008 Jeep Grand Cheokee, we were very pleased with the sales people overall and would recommend them to our friends and family.
May 20, 2013
The car was everything I expected, and the Dealer ship was very
helpful.
May 17, 2013
Bait and switch! Contacted the dealer in regards to this vehicle and they wanted to switch with an older model with more miles. When I inquired about the vehicle being advertised, they said they sold the vehicle moments before I called (imagine that) but had another. When I started looking into the other vehicle, $1k less than this, they were unwilling to negotiate once I mentioned that I was willing to purchase without financing. They used an excuse that the vehicle would not be ready for a few weeks. I guess they're hoping to offload with financing before I commited to it. Seems sleazy!
Apr 19, 2013
Wonderful service! I wasn't able to purchase the car at the time, but I would definitely go back to buy from them. Extremely helpful and friendly. The man who helped us, Chris, was amazing! He waited 2.5 hrs after he was suppose to be off work just to help us try to get the car. Then he saw how much I loved the car and even called me a couple days later to see how everything was going and to let me know that someone was coming to look at the car the following day just in case I still wanted it. I highly recommend this dealership!
Feb 14, 2013
Although the Salesmen were friendly and helpful, the final signature of purchase agreement was not fully honored. I asked for a 2.9 loan rate and they agreed but was not disclosed that the rate changed to 3.9 percent. Even if it is the buyers responsibility, the dealer changed it deceptively. I would recommend buyer beware and review all final paperwork.
Jan 22, 2013
Great car buying esperience from beginning to end. Got my dream car :)
Jan 14, 2013
They should make sure that they have some kind of refreshments to offer the customers while waiting for the processing of the paperwork.
Oct 9, 2012
Really cool guys. Just thought the car I looked at was a little over priced
for the miles but very friendly reasonable guys.
Jul 9, 2012
They had a nice used BMW convertible for sale. Ultimately I purchased a
new Mercedes because of the vehicle warranty.

I was contacted immediately-Superb!
