THE AUTO CITY STORY
When we started Auto City nearly 10 years ago, we looked at all the things we knew people disliked about car shopping and made sure we did the exact opposite – Like up-front pricing that takes haggling out of the equation. Our early customers loved not feeling the pressure of trying to negotiate a lower price, and we’ve stuck to that approach ever since. Then we added in our you know what we know concept – every vehicle listed on our website has a history report with it, so you’ll know as much as we know about the vehicle, including accidents and major repairs. But then we decided to go even further and we made sure all our staff worked together to make buying a car from Auto City a relaxed, no-pressure experience – that means not rushing people to make a decision, or pushing towards higher-priced vehicles. You set the pace and we follow. We also made sure that every single vehicle on our lot was only of the highest quality – that means choosing only the best and still giving it a thorough inspection, servicing, and detailing. Finally, we worked hard to establish relationships with many of the top banks and lenders to make sure we can help you find the financing you need, whatever the status of your credit.
Within two years of opening at our original location, we were successful enough to open the spacious new location in El Cajon where we remain today with its full service department outfitted with the latest in automotive technologies and certified technicians. We’ve put the final nail in the coffin of bad used car shopping with an approach and a team dedicated to one thing and one thing only – making the used car buying process something you will love. Come experience the difference for yourself.
Auto City is also proud of the following:
- USAA certified dealership.
- Member of National Independent Auto Dealer Association.
- Carfax partner.
- A+ Better Business Bureau rating.
- Nearly a third of our customers are repeats and referrals.

What Our Customers Are Saying
I highly recommend this place to anyone , great service shout out mr.Isaac I appreciate you. I went in thinking I was going to walk out with nothing and they were quick to help me with a good price and didn’t take long at all.
Can always expect amazing Mexican food from Los Chavos! You never have to worry about fluctuations of quality when you go.
Absolutely amazing car-buying experience. They gave me almost full blue book value for my trade in and even made a complicated situation easy that involved changing my mind on which vehicle I wanted to purchase. They only stock low-mileage cars in excellent condition and the staff are really fun to talk to. Thanks to Josh, Dimitry, Issac, and everyone else who helped me out!
This is not a review of the dealership, although the dealership was helpful and friendly when I bought my car there. I am writing to review Auto City's car repair side. I spoke with Cory (hope I'm spelling that right). Cory was very familiar with the warranty I had bought through the dealership. (BTW He can't always answer the phone but he is very good about returning calls.) When I described my problem he was able to diagnose it right away and he was pretty sure that he knew what the problem was. And he was right! ...
The 5 stars speak for themselves at auto city. Stan is by far the most professional car salesman I have ever worked with. They genuinely care about you and your purchase and won’t try and sell you a beater/lemon. Each car comes with a warranty. There is a huge selection with unbeatable prices. Thank you Stan for making me feel so welcome even with my poor credit and doing everything in your power to find me a vehicle! Definitely purchase with Stan, you won’t regret it!
My experience purchasing a car from Auto City was the finest I've ever had. Everyone I spoke to, both on the phone and in person, was quite helpful. I almost gave up on my goal of buying a 2019 or 2020 Cadillac XT4 last year (Sport Trim level). From the first phone call to setting up my insurance after buying a car, Mr. Fareez, Mr. Frank, and Mr. Isaac provided me the best customer service. All of them were really concerned about my situation. That night, I flew from Seattle to El Cajon Auto City. They stayed late so I could ...
