Tim is amazing! He sold me my 2010 Mazda 3 Grand Touring back in September, and I couldnt be happier with his customer service. I was interested in getting a compact car to drive around so I went looking online for a few weeks. I came into Del Mar Auto LLC with my girlfriend and brother and walked around the lot of the dealership, no one approached us until we walked past the office and he ran out to greet us. I originally wanted different car, but once that didnt work out, Tim offered us different options and really knew his facts - how much the price would be will depend on my down payment and not my credit. And I don’t have that great credit history but he made it simple and easy to understand. We spent 2 hours at the dealership total, and Tim was extremely patient and helpful. He offered many different options and was very open to letting us see and test-drive multiple cars. Since it was a big purchase for me I had to think long and hard, but it seemed like Tim didnt mind. Definitely wasnt pushy! Once we decided on the car, Tim had us sit and start the paperwork. Overall, the dealership was great. Nice location, nice atmosphere and complete customer satisfaction. Definitely dont regret buying my car here! And you should check it out. I am also a veteran and he served me with honor and dignity never pushing for the sale and that is why I decided to purchase a used car from Del Mar Auto LLC!

So...... I was in the market shopping for a reliable used car for my son. My niece suggested that I go to the car dealer that she bought her pre-owned car from in Santa Monica. We took her advice but we werent able to find the lot. As luck would have it we stumbled upon Del Mar Auto and Tim Mancini. After taking a look at the cars at Del Mar, I was surprised to see such great deals and awesome cars. Needless to say, I ended up buying myself a pre-owned 2003 Lexus ES300 with low mileage. This car is PERFECT and one of my best buys! Tim and the guys are extremely friendly and were willing to work with me. Del Mar Auto is the perfect place too purchase a used car. The service I receive is always superb and because of this I referred a few friends! What happened to my son getting a car? Well, he is driving my Maxima until he saves his money to buy a car from Tim. Del Mar Auto LLC, is one of, if not the best, used car lots in So Cal. Go check them out and come back to tell us about your great experience!

I have no idea what Chris is talking about below, Tim is the most helpful STRAIGHT FORWARD car salesman that I have ever dealt with, and I have purchased many cars in my lifetime. He was a pleasure to work with and even waited for us on mothers day to come and check out the car, we loved the car and were allowed to put down a deposit for him to hold the car for us! So convenient. Tim was so personable and made the entire experience really easy! I would buy another car from him in a heartbeat. He stayed to let us look at the car more than an hour after the dealership was already closed, and was not pushy at all! Allowed us to take our time roaming the lot looking for the "perfect" car for my husband. We had a small issue after the car was purchased and Tim was more than accommodating! For anyone that says that Tim is not a pleasant person to work with, they must have not spoken to Tim! Del Mar Auto receives an A+++ from us on the customer service! Thanks again Tim and we will be back to purchase and SUV!

I rented a car at Hertz (next door to this lot) this morning. I saw a car that interested me. But Owner not there yet. I returned and Tim approached me. He was dressed sloppily and had a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. Before I returned to his lot this afternoon, I came home and did some research on-line. I researched reviews on this place. One + ; one negative. I also researched the car, model year, miles etc for the car I was interested in. I began to talk to Tim and he rudely turned around and went back to his Beach Chair. He became hostile, rude and sarcastic. BUYER BEWARE. There is no way a car from 1998 only had 68,000 miles on it. THINK and do your homework! I will never return although I am local and will everyone about my experience.

I had an incredible super positive experience with Del Mar Auto. I was very skeptical to purchase my car with a dealer, since last time I felt they took advantage of me and persuaded me to get a leased car, but with Del Mar Auto, everything went super smooth. From the car sales people, who were not pushy at all to Tim, the manager. I got the car I wanted for the price I wanted. Tim was able to work a payment schedule that I could afford and also made me a "member of the Club". Rudy detailed my car while the paperwork was being worked out and he also washed my car a few weeks later when I stopped by to say Hello! I highly recommend Del Mar Auto to everyone who is looking into buying a car. Its been a great pleasure to do business with them.

My daughter and I arrived in Venice ( after driving a rented Moving Van cross-country) and she needed to purchase a used vehicle. We visited many Dealers until we found Del mar where outstanding knowledge, honesty and friendliness were refreshing. Emil and Tim helped us find the affordable right car for her, along with a warranty. The next day after purchasing the car the battery was low , we called Emile and Tim and a new battery was installed without hesitation.. Theres been a few times that my daughter has been back to Del mar for advise and they continue to be helpful. I dont live in California, but if I were to purchase a used vehicle I would buy it from Del mar and drive it back home…its worth it!

I purchased a car from Tim about five months ago following an abrupt end to my 2008 335ci. My experience at Del Mar Auto was concise and to to the point. Tim was willing to work with me despite my less than perfect credit history which outweighed what some describe as his abrasive demeanor. There were a few repairs I did post purchase, but that is to be expected on most pre owned vehicles. Today, I decided that I will be purchasing a second vehicle from him and once again, he is willing to work with me to ensure I will be able to ride topless in the near future...M style. Thanks, Tim for working with me!!!

I bought an awesome little used Honda November 2016 here, moved back to the country the day before and really needed a reliable but affordable car, was thrilled to work with Tim and Bulldog. We were well treated, during follow up calls no questions were too stupid, everything was great. These guys are old school no nonsense, an absolute pleasure doing business.

Overall good experience here. They had the car I wanted for a good price and financed me with half down and no credit check. Tim was a little brusque with another person on the lot that was that kept asking dumb questions. I did my research first so I didnt have to ask stupid questions. Great selection and good prices too
