Used Cars near Thousand Palms, CA

“The yard has greatly improved along with inventory tracking.Management has finally done the right thing with entrance fee. The fee is now credited to any purchase.Recommend that hours be changed to 7am opening during the summer between May 15th and September 15th. Reason being, by 9am the yard is frying pan.Open at 8am between September 15th and May 15th. This would be nice, and most people who work on cars like to get started early.”

“I usually don’t write reviews but this dealer really deserved one. Best part of dealing with these guys is that it does not feel like a dealer. I saw the car I wanted, I called them, they held it, when I got there I was in and out. One of the best car buying experiences I’ve had.”

“I had a very pleasant experience at this dealership. Ben was extremely professional and helpful. As a first time buyer with very little experience, Ben explained to me everything I needed to know with exceptional detail. I definitely recommend this place if you’re looking to buy an amazing vehicle.”

“My car was looked at as soon as possible and I was notified what needed to be done. I was treated with professionalism and courtesy. My only complaint was I was charged $180 just to look at my car but when I shared I thought that was not appropriate they lowered it to $90 wasn’t expecting to have to pay to have them look at my car and not have the fee applied to the service which ended up costing me a bit over $300”

“John went above and beyond for us! I had rented a trailer 2 months in advance from another location. The day before pickup, they called me to say they wouldn't have it, and John's location was the closest and soonest I could have a trailer. I was now at risk of missing an important event to which I needed to tow a racecar. Even though none of this was John's fault, he made special accommodations for my wife and I to pickup and deliver the trailer exactly when we needed! I cannot recommend John enough, and I will most certainly book with him again in the future. Thank you sir, for your exceptional customer service.”

“My purchase of a low-mileage Mustang convertible from SoCal Motorcars was very pleasant. Dave offered to let me test-drive the car, and the purchase was nice and quick. We drove over 80 miles to get this deal, and the drive home showed that the Mustang is everything I had hoped it would be.”

“Amazing experience. They topped my car max offer and set up the paper work so I didn't have to waste much time. All in all, I spent less than an hour to sell my car! smooth and easy”

“La Quinta Chevrolet did a great job on diagnosing and replacing the fails BECM (battery energy control module) in my Volt. Too bad I had to wait a month to get it fixed because Chevrolet did not have them available. Especially since 73,000 of these have failed.”

“This was my first time buying a car from out of state and far away. Everyone at desert private collection was extremely helpful and made the process so easy ... they also were extremely accurate in the description of the car. Very happy with how everything went...wouldn't hesitate to deal with everyone there again”

“Talk about patients. I looked at a car 5 time before I bought it. They are car people, and bring in only the best cars to sell at very reasonable prices. The closing process was very low key, and I never felt stressed during the entire process. I highly recommend KR Auto! And now I drive a pretty bad-ass Benz.”

“A special thanks to Justin in the service department. On a week vacation from San Diego and a check engine light appeared on my 2013 Cadillac ATS. Very worrisome cons considering our trip back home. I called the service department and Justin said to bring the car and he would scan for the code. I showed up and he checked the car`s computer. He said it was ok to drive but suggested I visit my home dealer when I return home. Quite a relief. Five Star Service. Thank Again”

“Friendly and humble staff, none of the pretentiousness that goes along with luxury dealers. Special shout out to Reza for hooking it up with the deal and Tri Phan for walking me through all of the financing documentation. Tri even had BMW match my BoA interest rate on top of the great pricing I received.Superior vehicle, especially for the condition and price point. I am super obsessed with attention to detail and browsed around for close to a yearfor a good deal (across dealers in SoCal and about), before settling on this beautyQuick process. In and out in about two hours with down payment made, financing secured, and brand new whip in handAll Warranties Checked out. Admittedly, not knowing anything about this dealer, I had my reservations regarding honoring of warranty, etc. But the transfer process waseasy. .”

“I picked up a real nice caddy from Travis at Exotic Motor Cars. It was a great experience. I love the car and the price was accurate. The process was no pressure and fast and easy. This dealership is on point.”

My Goodness am I Grateful for them all. If you had a 10 Star rating system, Jill and Palm Springs Volvo Service get an 11 from me. Gratefully, Wade Williams”

“We sold a car. It was an extremely simple process, and the price we sold the car for was 3 times more than the dealer trade-in offer. I'd highly recommend using this process if you aren't interested in spending time selling it privately.”

“It has been a little over 1 year since we purchased this beautiful Avalon from Tim at Uncle's Garage and drove her an absolutely trouble free 17,000 miles so far. Could not be any happier with our purchase and the communication throughout the entire process with Tim was great. If you're looking for a reliable used vehicle, this is the place to go to.”

“Hyundai dealership Bobby Calloway and his crew are the best! they went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and got me the best deal so if you're looking for a Hyundai this is the place for you! thank you again for everything.”

“After looking for a second car for over a month I found what I was looking for at Desert Auto. I bought a 2008 Saturn Sky Roadster convertible that was in excellent condition and was also a great price. (I did my research)I found the dealership very amicable and pleasant to work with and after we reached an agreement the process went quickly. Avi was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. The real gem here is Jonathan. He did the paperwork and made sure that a small problem I had with the turn signals was resolved quickly. He was very respectful and a pleasure to work with. I would definitely buy another car from this dealership in the future and can highly recommend them to anyone looking for a good deal in a friendly no pressure environment.”

“Tarrie @ California Auto Exchange was excellent. When I contacted them via text he promptly responded and contacted me within an hour with the approval for our 2006 Toyota Prius. I suggest anyone searching for a vehicle to check out this dealership 1st.. We will be back to purchase additional vehicles Thanks Dean”

“Jim was extremely polite and explained everything in detail on the process to sell my car. I was very attached to my car and he respected that and made me feel comfortable.The entire process was smooth and stress free.”

“I came in with one intention only and that was for me to leave the dealer with my very own first car. Andrew Goodman was very helpful, he answered all my questions. He was a really great sport, even gave me some advice. In a matter of minutes I left the dealer with a brand new 2024 Lexus n× 350, thanks to Andrew and all his help.”

My brother is getting ready to buy a new Ram and Jeep for his growing family.I purchased over $200K in New Vehicles in one month.Just wish that service manager would get it together and return calls were better.Kim Woods”

“This will probably be my last car purchase and I shutter to think how much a new one would be in another 20 years. I had a Ford Expedition Limited since it was new in 2005, & seems like a bunch of miles for me, but it just turned over 86,000. I rented a Dodge Challenger in 2019 when my truck was in the body shop & when it came time to turn it in, I didn't want to. I loved my big V8 SUV that was the closest thing that I was ever going to get to a Lincoln Town Car in the way that it drove & handled but I was tired of 9 miles per gallon in town and 14-15 on the road. So with my love of the rented Challenger with the V6 from 2019 and my current thinking that I don't want to keep a vehicle much longer than 18 years (plus it was about time to put new tires on it and that's when I normally trade vehicles), I started my search online which was really nice until I started getting calls from all kinds of dealers around me trying to earn my business. It reminded me of the old days that I detest so much when buying a new car. I previously had some email interaction with my salesman, Ernie, probably about a year ago and I don't think he would remember me but I already had in mind that I was going to buy the car from Crystal Chrysler simply because it was close to my house and it's in the same city that I reside in and the sales tax is 8.75% instead of right next to me it's 9.5%. So on $40,000 + it makes a little difference in the bottom line.When I met Ernie in person, I felt very comfortable with him in person.I had already made up my mind that I had to order a car because my internet research was just 2022 models that had packages on them that I did not want. Ernie did his best to find me something comparable to what I wanted but either it was missing the top end stereo i had to have or there were options included that were of no use to me.I also had contacted Costco auto purchase program and was very disappointed in that. The dealership was in Orange County south of LA which is about a 2-hour trip and I only spoke to the salesperson by telephone but he seemed nice. I gave him all the specs that I wanted and he came back to me and said that his manager said he couldn't help me. Boom just like that and I replied asking what did he suggest I do and he didn't bother to reply to me. I then went back to Ernie at Crystal Chrysler. I told him what had happened and that we needed to sit down and complete an order for 2023 Challenger. This was on November 30th of 2022. At that time, I was told it could be up to 6 months before my car would arrive so given that it's the last year that they were making the Challenger, I felt lucky. My luck improved as time went by because the order was acknowledged by Dodge on December 21st and then scheduled for production in January which occurred on the 18th. On the 23rd it was shipped and arrived from its long journey on February 13th.I was a little nervous when I went to the dealership on Valentine's Day because I was given a receipt for the $1,000 that I put up for the special order and no contract or any other paperwork per se. The Dodge site did specify that the sticker price that came on the car was not necessarily the price that I would pay. Initially Ernie told me before I ordered my car that I would pay $3,000 over sticker price for a Challenger because of it being the last year and I quickly told him that I was not going to pay $3,000 over asking price. I was willing to pay sticker price and that was agreed upon via text messages at the time of order.So I was relieved when I did arrive to pick up the car that there were no surprises and we shook hands and went with the dealer financing that was offered because of the extended warranty. Dealer financing offered at the same rate USAA was quoting for financing. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the way this transaction took place & I will gladly refer this dealership.I also believe in patronizing the dealer for service. Their ratings were good so I look forward to future exper”
