G T Cars

I bought a 2007 Subaru Forester from GT Cars in July. Dealt mainly with Frank, who was communicative, attentive and fair. I had a third-​party inspection done at South Coast Subaru before my purchase; the report said that the head gaskets needed to be replaced (which is common for this generation of Subies at 100k miles) and a bunch of other stuff. Frank took care of it at no extra cost; have since put 4200 miles on it, and it’s running great! Would definitely recommend GT Cars to anyone who wants to deal with fair used vehicle sales and service facilities in the OC area. Again: Very fair, no slime, and very communicative. Thanks again, Frank!

PERFECT service!!! Ron took care of replacing my starter, changing my oil, and replacing my tailgate struts. And it only took a day! Best service ever. I’m going back for ALL of my car needs!

Avoid!
If you absolutely MUST buy from them, pay the money to take the car to ANY OTHER mechanic first. The only money they put into a used car is a wash and oil up everything. When I bought a car from them the «smog was done,» yet the check engine light came on 3 days later and it suddenly needs a new cat. It «runs great» yet the steering and suspension is shot and must be replaced. Had the car for 3 days and the cost to me has tripled.
I dealt with Ron and Frank and they taught me a valuable lesson about never trusting a used car salesman. I know why they have been in business so long, idiots like me.

Nightmare Experience!
they are NOT TO BE TRUSTED. terrible mechanics and show no integrity .
I bought a car from them and they said it was in excellent condition. Literally, the very next day the engine light came on. i had to take it back over 12 times with them promising that they will fix it and every time the car came back the same or worse. the engine eventually went bad completely bad and they kept it for a total of a month and a half saying that if i pay for half the engine they would replace it. I shelled out half the cost of the motor just to have it returned to me still not working. Then i found out from another mechanic that the engine was never replaced at all. they eventually decided to no longer honor their warranty with me and now I’m going to have to go to small claims just to get my thousands of dollars back because i needed the engine replaced by an outside mechanic.
i was trading them from my totaled Honda that was in an accident and they fixed and put on their website without mentioning that it was totaled at all, pretty sad for the person who will find that out after they sell it to them.
One more thing. they treated me very different as soon as i bought the car. they were rude, aggressive and sometimes just never returned my calls.

Could be worse, but there is a reason people don’t trust used car salesmen.
I bought my car here about a year ago, upon purchase they stated that it had all maintenance done and it seemed too good to be true but given their prices, I decided it was worth the chance. Within the first month of ownership I had weather strips fall off, a bad battery, bad o2 sensor, followed in the next several months by a bad alternator, shotty wiring along with some blown hoses, costing me thousands. I also found that whoever was the previous owner had spilled pop all down inside the dash, but don’t know that I can blame them for that, although it would have been nice to see an effort to clean aside from vacuuming made. I love my car but don’t think that given the chance I wouldn’t have passed on it knowing what I know now.
For the price I ended up paying I could have gotten a much newer model.
These guys, while nice, should NOT be charging dealership prices for the cars they sell. And I would only purchase from them again having a knowledgeable mechanic for the make and model come along to check out the potential car.

I found a used Ford Ranger 4X4 that just sounded too good to be true so I went down and talked with Frank. He tossed me the keys and said, «You decide.»
No pressure no hard sales. I wanted a good quality used vehicle and got one!
1999 loaded Ford Ranger 4X4 with a clean history for UNDER book?
Done deal and very happy
57,000 ORIGINAL miles. 1999… really? Sold!
