Speedway Auto Group, Inc

This dealer is extremely shady. We haven’t had our Jetta for a full year. Actually only six months. Everything is rigged under the hood. There is a by pass line in the fuse system connected to the fuel fuse. The smog was illegally passed by the dealer. Do not by a car from here. There is a reason the prices are low. They take lemon cars and make them look nice. Then the car you purchase starts having huge problems over short periods of time. Very expensive fix. I suggest taking any car you get here to real mechanic to check out everything electrical and check for smog passing. This is not a honest dealer.

I came to these guys for an Audi B6 S4, which they had as «showroom condition». I took it for a test drive and it was all ok. Then I decided to buy it as it was a dealership and they had really nice cars, so I thought I could trust them since they should have good reputation.
An hour after I leave the dealership I hear an engine rattle at start up, which they never disclosed. A couple of days after this, I start hearing a really loud clunk on the front wheels whenever I turned. I go back again around an hour before they closed. The two guys working at the time were high as fuck. I could smell weed since before I even walked in. (I’m gonna go ahead and say that I’m not completely sure about this because I didn’t actually see them smoking it, but I smoked for 5 years, and I’m pretty familiar with the smell I’d say…) I go in very calmly and tell them I hear a clunking noise, and one of the guys (owner?) right away started to freak out and blaming me for it saying he had no idea what I was talking about. Then I manage to calm him down and we agree to come back and talk about it another day.
When I come back, another guy who worked there, who seemed very nice and knowledgeable (he has had a couple of S4’s), tells me about the engine rattle and how it was a common thing for Audi. This was true. Then I told him about the clunk, we went for a ride, and he said that it was normal because it was a «new suspension just breaking in». After trying for a long time to fix things, I give up, since I have no money for a lawyer and it took me years to save up for this car. Pretty much nothing I could do without getting in a huge hassle, which I don’t even have time for.
After all that I took it to Audi dealership, and they tell me it was the front sway bar just needed to be tightened, which fixed the problem for a couple of days (this is probably what they did to sell it). After it came back, Audi told me they could (would) not do anything about it. So I go somewhere else, and find out that the struts were completely worn, both front axles had their rubber boots completely torn and needed to be replaced, and I am still trying to figure out what else is wrong, because the clunk is still happening. And now the power steering hose broke today. After spending over 3k on repairs and labor, I’m sick and tired and broke as hell.
My point is, maybe these guys sell good cars in excellent condition, but they can also sell shit cars and be completely shady about it. DO NOT TRUST them, and always take a good mechanic to check the cars, cause they completely fucked up my life in the last 8 months. I’m 23 years old and have no help from anyone, don’t have any family around, and work my ass off to pay for the repairs. Just hoping this doesn’t happen to anyone else.
Good luck.

My mother purchased a 2004 BMW 325i
from Speedway Auto Group on August 22^nd cash and check
After driving it with premium gas used for about 300 miles
the service engine soon light appeared.
Larry’s BMW Paradise in Vista, CA had to replace the Fuel Filter and
and Crankcase Breather Valve at a cost of $ 790.
This had caused the car not to start
when we were in Corona, CA. The tow to Murrieta BMW cost $ 186 dollars
BMW of Murrieta replaced for free the Air Bag Sensors as they were on recall
Larry brought up 8 codes when running it thru his computer
The Interior and Exterior on the car is excellent
The only reason I give them two stars instead of one is because the price
was good. BUT why doesn’t Speedway check out it cars first and add $ 600 to the price of the car and sell a RELIABLE car instead of just buying it at auction and
doing no check on the car.
At the time we bought the car which he had paid all the cash for in 3 days
I thought about buying another car from them. I obviously changed my mind
and though I will not say never buy a car from them be very careful about purchasing a car from Speedway Auto.

I strongly recommend Speedway Auto Group to all my friends and family. Before I buy my BMW from them, I checked their reviews online. I noticed their great reviews and decided to give them a chance.
I immediately realized that they have earned their 5 star rating as soon as I interacted with their sale staff. The finance Manager went above and beyond to make sure I am getting the lowest interest rate on my loan. I got the lowest price within 200 miles. My car buying experience with them was hassle free.
It was a pleasure to have done business with them and I will do it again.
Keep it up guys.

Speedway has been my first choice when making car purchases. Recently bought a mini for my wife and she loves it. The owner made me feel so comfortable and answered all my questions. The car is perfect and he even called a week later to check up on us. True service all the way. The way used car buying should be. Thank you speedway!

PJ at Speedway Auto Group is a class act. Great customer service and a very smooth transaction. Honest people that make your experience of buying a car a very pleasant one. I had to fly in to pick up a car and they actually have gone as far as picking me up from the airport. The car ended up being a great purchase which I enjoy to this day. Thank you PJ!!!

Aloha! Both on the phone and in person they are a pleasure to talk to. Ray and Pj helped me a lot with questions and concerns I had with the vehicle I am in the process of purchasing «2006 4runner». They are true professionals and were very attentive compared to past big dealerships I’ve had experienced with such as Kia of El Cajon and honda of Chula Vista. These guys listened when I spoke, answered my questions truthfully and did not sway me into the «buy now or else it’s gone» tactic. I would highly recommend them to anyone, I’m big on customer service and other auto sales companies should follow in their footsteps! Thanks again guys for being flexible on the price !!

Thanks again Speedway Auto Group. I had a very nice used car buying experience with Speedway, purchased a used 03 Audi A4 that was is great condition, they have a excellent selection of very clean pre owned vehicles, which made me more confident with my purchase. Super friendly staff and great customer service, I highly recommend Speedway Auto if your in the market for a clean used car.
Thanks again guys
