My daughters approaching driving age, so Ive been searching for a vehicle for the past 40+ days. I tried auctions as well as a variety of public and dealer vehicles for sale. In the end, I found Save On Autos listing of a 2009 Kia Rondo. Chris answered the phone, answered a few questions, and I was curious to head over and take a look. Regarding his car lot, its fairly Spartan, so dont expect a lot of dealer comforts. Theres not going to be fresh coffee, a waiting area, or a receptionist. Since Im simply looking to purchase a good car at a fair and honest price, these things dont work into my buying decision. While the miles on the Kia were a bit north of what I was hoping, the vehicle drove well and was clean. After a few test drives with Chris and some discussions on what else I was looking for (some minor repairs & his best price), we settled on something we could both could live with. When I discovered additional minor flaws along the way, Chris openly acknowledged my observations & offered to take care of them regardless of what we had originally agreed to. In all honesty, I didnt expect the pre-buying experience to be so amiable, let along the post buying experience. I can say that when Im in the market for a car in the future, I plan to visit Chris and see what he can do for me. Id definitely recommend you stop by and consider Chris @ Save On Auto.

I had purchased a used car from Chris after searching for one for six weeks! I was fortunate, the one I had an interest in at Save On Autos was still available. Chris was very patient and courteous with me and after three test drives I purchased a 1996 200SX SE-R Nissan. Having purchased used cars in three different states over many years this car by far has been my best purchase ever and the most pleasurable experience I have had dealing with a salesman at a used car lot. I have had several people approach me and offer me a lot more money then what I had paid for this car but I am too pleased with it to let it go, no joke! I had the oil changed and had detailed it myself. After having it inspected by my mechanics,I had asked them," How did I do, " Did I hit a home run"? They responded " Heck no, you hit a grand slam" this car overall is in great shape! Chris and Elias at Save On Autos have been great and I thank them. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to purchase a used vehicle and if they dont have what your looking for on the lot they may very well know where to locate one for you.

Chris is one of the best and most honest dealers around! I spent 5 weeks searching for another car after my old one got totalled. Luckily I ran over to save on autos after work a couple months back and met Chris. He was really helpful and patient with me test driving a handful of cars! I spotted a Mitsubishi lancer oz rally edition on the lot and knew right away that car was calling my name. Chris gave me a great deal on it and went over all the services done on the car. My mechanic took a look at it the following week and told me that I picked out a killer car that will easily go for another 200k if I kept it on the road that long! It was awesome doing business with Chris and always great to see him around town! If youre looking for the best used car dealer in San Diego county look no further than save on autos you wont be disappointed!

We bought a car from Savon Autos and it was a great experience dealing with Chris, the owner, and his workers. Everyone was courteous and helpful. The car we were interested in seemed to be in good working order except that it appeared the battery was dead when we were about to take the car on a test drive. Chris promised to replace the battery if it did not hold a charge after driving the car for awhile. When the battery did not hold a charge overnight, Chris honored his word and brought a battery the next day to our mechanic, who was doing a safety inspection check on the car, which passed with a clean bill of health. It was refreshing to do business with a car dealer who is honest and dependable. I would highly recommend Savon Autos to anyone in need of a good used car.

Chris was an absolutely great guy. He knocked $100 off the price off the car because of a broken knob. He then offered to look at the brakes for free, after I purchased the car. He ended up putting brand new pads on the front tires, again free of charge. Finally, I took the car to a mechanic for an inspection, where I found out it needed a new timing belt, which was a $300 repair. I called to ask Chris if anything could be done about the situation, since I really didnt want to have to return the car. He offered to give me a $150 rebate to cover the cost! Overall, Chris is a completely standup guy, and Id highly recommend Save on Autos to anyone in the San Diego area looking to buy a used car.

I bought a 2000 Toyota 4runner from Chris at sav on autos a few months ago and was more than happy with it. I then received an employment offer in Chicago. I asked Chris if he would be willing to buy the 4runner back from me. Though he was unable to purchase the vehicle at that time he went out of his way to ask other buyers in his network without any personal incentive. I was impressed with his willingness to help me and his overall demeanor. Most used car salesman are extremely pushy and display an approach of self centeredness. Chris is informative and honest. He understands the importance of a win win business model.

Chris was great and not pushy as he worked in my budget. He knows his cars well. I have not had a problem with the Lexus since I bought it a month ago. My neighbor bought from Chris first and told me how honest Chris was about the cars. I know I will go back when I need another car.
