  1. I would not recommend coming here to friends or family. I was in a month prior and had a completely green and excellent vehicle inspection, 0 problems after my regular oil change and tire rotation. I have that inspection result printed out. Exactly a month later when I need to have a form signed for an out-of-state vehicle inspection to renew my out-of-state vehicle registration, they claim they cannot sign it without a new inspection, and suddenly find potentially hundreds of dollars worth of repairs needed. From 100% excellent and green to completely failed subsystems with less than a week of actual driving time on it. I was eventually charged $250 for a signature on a form that is now worthless because it says I FAIL points on my inspection unless I paid more for unknown amount of repairs.

  11. Took my Accord in for routine service. Prices have gone up but sort of expect that everywhere. I told the service manager that I did not want any service which disconnected the battery. This causes the nasty emissions computer to crash so next time you try and get a smog check it absolutely will not work and you must get someone to reset by driving. $400-500 minimum. The work was done quickly but when I started the car it was clear the XM radio, clock and other electronics had been powered off by disconnecting battery. I immediately returned. The same service manager I had used told me that battery cleaning requires one connection of battery to be disconnected. He seemed clueless that this was exactly the action I had told him THREE times not to do! Nice guy but clueless. He offers me a $450 emissions reset which takes two day next time my car needs smog check. Not going back there again.

  12. I was glad that service put coolant in my engine but sad that I need a new engine.

  23. I don't think it's possible to say enough good things about my experience with Porsche South Bay. My Service Advisor Rus Timerhanov had my back every step of the way. I showed up having a really tough morning, without an appointment, and he took me in and did everything he could to resolve my problems. Rus was prompt with communication, set me up with a loaner, and was a true pleasure to work with. It was the smoothest service/repair experience I've ever had and Rus is to thank for that! If you're in need of a place to service your Porsche, look no further than Porsche South Bay!

  31. Chris Magana was friendly, professional, patient and comprehensive. The diagnostic covered a lot of ground, as it should at that price, but I was glad you were available on a weekend. Felt a little bombarded early on with texts, but that seems to be the times we live in. (5 star service, 4 on the texting, but then I'm old school) MP

  32. Friendly and efficient Explained the work and the cost clearly

  33. $4000, 10 days to fix, left outside and filthy and covered in bird droppings. Dashboard screen damaged with a false promise to get back to me in a day. It's been a week. Worst car dealership experience I have ever had.what do you have to say for yourselves?

  41. Took my 2011 Honda Fit for an oil change, and the service advisor, Justin, called to tell me that my car needed rear brake pads, as mine were at 3 mm—about a $600+ job for parts plus labor. They didn’t have the parts, so I was told that I would need to pay for the parts up front, and they would order them and fix the car the next day. Took the car home, and brought it back this morning, and about 3 hours later, got a call saying that it was all a mistake—my brakes apparently have drums not rotors, and 3 mm actually means that the brakes are still fine. So I went back over to pick up the car and was told it would take 3-5 business days to get a refund for the parts I bought but didn’t need. The service advisor, Ray, who called me (my original service advisor, Justin, apparently was off today) was mildly apologetic on the phone, but that was it—a pretty annoying inconvenience for me in a number of ways, and no special apologies or consideration for their error. Not impressed.

  42. Great place to service your vehicle

  47. The service advisor, Armando, was most knowledgeable and complete in the description of the tasks that would be performed as part of the servicing. He was super prompt with the status updates too. All in all, a very hassle free and pleasurable experience...
