San Clemente Auto Gallery

This has been the easiest, best car buying experience ever. Not your typical over aggressive car salesman, (whom we just left north of town… beware.)
David was very helpful, knowledgeable and super easy going. Go to San Clemente Auto Gallery, seriously… you’ll be pleasantly surprised :)

I needed a good quality car in a short amount of time. David was very helpful and I didn’t feel any pressure from him to buy like I had at the other dealership I had been too. He had us in and out in about 30 mins. The easiest time I have ever had buying a car. I will definitely go back to him when it’s time for another car.

I went here after getting the run around used dealer woes from some other places in town. Expecting the same thing, i was pleasantly surprised when I met David. Not having great credit, he was honest about what he could do for me and up front about what he needed from me. He got me into a great vehicle with low mileage the same day, which was incredibly important as i had a trip the next day.
Granted, that’s the sort of service you should expect from a company, but unfortunately that’s not usually the case when dealing with a run of the mill used car dealership.
Here’s where it went from good service, to exceptional. Two weeks later, I noticed a noise coming from under the hood. I took the car in to have them check it out for me. After investigating, they established that it was the tensioner pulley for the timing belt. The timing belt itself was still in good condition as was the water pump. The vehicle was still 15,000 miles away from the service time for the water pump and timing belt. The owner of the dealership asked me if I wanted to split the cost of the water pump which was $ 85, and he would pay the rest of the cost of the repair since the service date was coming up soon. That is epic above and beyond customer service. Especially considering when I looked up the cost of the repair and the lowest price I could find was $ 600. I will be referring all of my friends and anyone i know looking for a car to David at san clemente auto gallery. Thx David.

wow! needed a car, frustrated with con man shops i had been to. The owner was amazing, gave us a great price, was super honest and we walked out with our vehicle. He even made us an appointment to get an oil change at his cost! What more could you need from a used car shop?! Hooray!
