Marina Auto Sales & Service

Without any hesitation the worst car-​buying experience one could wish for and about as enjoyable as having teeth pulled. One guy was very helpful and almost apologetic for the terrible service, the other guy was just plain rude throughout the stream of incompetence. Three months later I have to go back to collect a check and I ask just on the off-​chance if they’re sure they don’t have a service book or another set of keys for the car I bought. The accounts girl looks in the first desk drawer and hands over two sets of keys and all the books. I was stunned. The keys and all the books for this car would have cost me $ 500-​$ 600 and they didn’t even think to see if they had it when they sold it to me. Avoid if at all possible.

We can really recommend Marina Auto. They made buying a used car a wonderful experience! The drivers seat was too low for my Aunt and they made it the right height and re upholstered it so it looked like new! We bought a beautiful car at an affordable price. Mike, Dan and Nicole are the best to work with. Very professional and very nice!

I’ve purchased several cars through Marina Auto. And I’ve referred several friends, including my father, who have all completed deals through the dealership. The service has been spot on, from the correspondence, to dealing over the cost of the cars (which were very fair, I did my homework)

We were in a rough spot when we moved to LA. My Fiancé’s car was totaled in an accident and we didnt have the credit to finance anything at the time. The guys were nice and had great selections of GTI’s and other German Sports Cars. They sold us a car «AS IS» at blue book price. And they worked with us 90days same as cash payments. We thought all was good until:
Day1 Alternator died, stranded us
Week 2: 1 power coil fried. Marina Auto Sales only would replace all 4. Not just the 1. They said EVERYONE does this… I talked to another shop and they said they could do just the one.
Month 1: Transmission issues
We finally spent almost half of what we paid to get the car into a reliable state. Come to find out within the first year, that the car had been in an accident.
Moral of the Story CHECK YOUR CAR FACTS!!!

I purchased my last 3 cars at Marina Auto. Normally, going to any car dealership as a young woman is scary because the stereotype is that we don’t know anything about cars and we will get ripped off, but that’s not the case here. I had VIP treatment from start to finish with each purchase, I was given very fair trade-​in values, and the financing was a piece of cake! I have referred a handful of people to Marina Auto and all have been equally satisfied. They are definetly a dealership I will be bringing my business to for life. HIGHLY RECCOMMENDED!!!
Vehicles I purchased from Marina Auto:
’02 Mercedes C240 (in 2004)
’04 BMW 330ci (in 2006)
’08 BMW 328i coupe (in 2011)
