Last September, Brittany got us a great deal on a 2013 RDX Tech for my wife, which we negotiated over email, finalized via phone and they delivered to Santa Clarita. The next day, our sons transmission went out on his Accord with 220K+ miles. So, I called Brittany again. My son had just been cleared to return to work after being on disability for a complete tear of his Achilles, so his income had been very low. She got him approved and into a 2008 TL, which they also delivered two days after the RDX. So, when son #3 needed a car for college, Gold Coast was the first place to contact. Unfortunately, Brittany had returned to San Diego with her family, so Matt (whom we met previously at the NSX Intro party) said hed take care of us. And he did. Although none of the Hondas or Acuras worked out to our low budget, he got us a great deal on a 2016 VW Jetta. The fact that Gold Coast provides a 36/125K powertrain warranty helped ease my discomfort with a brand other than Honda/Acura. Being our third purchase in nine months, Chris, the Finance Director, also got us a great deal on a 96/100K Bumper-To-Bumper warranty with $0 deductible. The only difference in todays purchase vs the other two is that we signed paperwork at the dealership after agreeing on a deal over the phone the night before. In September, I said that Gold Coast was the best dealership I had ever dealt with and surpassed our favorite Honda dealerships in Colorado; no easy feat. They put customer satisfaction at the top and they excel in ensuring the customer leaves happy. We will continue to HIGHLY RECOMMEND Gold Coast Acura and will seek them out for all future automobile purchases. GREAT JOB, TEAM GOLD COAST!

I have to say this was the best experience Ive ever had with buying a car. I was sure to be honest about what I was willing to pay and the loan terms I wanted, let them run my credit and then drove an hour and a half to get to them. They did not disappoint. Steven K. helped me out and the sales manager Brittany was awesome as well. We did hit a few issues but they ironed them out very quickly (for instance they couldnt locate the floor mats and extra key on my CPO TLX while I was there, so they FedExed them to me a couple days later). I had been exclusively shopping for BMWs until I saw their TLX for sale and Ive had zero regrets in the three months since. It will be the first place I check for my next car purchase.

I just purchased a 12 TL from Gold Coast yesterday. They have a great team. Frank, Steve, Skip and Mike were responsive, professional and courteous through the entire process. My mechanic found some trouble codes on the car and despite it being a busy Saturday, they arranged for a service technician to look into it right away - turns out they were phantom codes and everything checked out. Overall, a great car buying experience - highly recommended.

Response from Gold Coast Acura:

Thanks ........ Were glad your experience at Gold Coast Acura was a positive one! We think our team knows how to get the job done and it sounds like sales and service pitched in here to straighten out the "code issue". Please let us help with service when the time is right and thanks again for purchasing your 12 TL here at Gold Coast Acura. The pleasure was ours. Jay

After running in circles, dealing with numerous dealerships, I finally found a dealership with friendly staff that was able to accommodate all my needs with purchasing a car. The staff at Gold Coast Acura are not about playing games, haggling you or wasting your time. They cut right to the chase and are willing to compromise. I spent hours at other dealerships, just to find out they were no where near to what I wanted in terms of pricing, deals and kept changing their answers making the whole situation a lot more complicated than it has to be and not being helpful at the end. Erick Oland and Steve at Gold Coast Acura were crystal clear with communicating and clearly answered all my questions with detailed information. By far the best customer service. Their professionalism and ethical behavior won me over, which is why I am excited to share my positive experience online and with all my friends and family.

Response from Gold Coast Acura:

Hello Carolina, Thanks for the glowing review of your experience here at Gold Coast Acura.

Responded to online ad for Honda Accord. Came to an agreed price with salesperson and then asked him to email me confirmation on their letterhead, signed by him, since I would be flying in from out of state to buy the car. Email never arrived so next day spoke to general manager who said salesman had no authority to negotiate price. He did not apologize for the salesmans misrepresentations but instead rudely and aggressively said that the car could not be purchased at the agreed upon price. Wouldnt get near this dealership.

Response from Gold Coast Acura:

Thanks for the input. I am sorry we couldnt come to terms with your offer but the vehicle was already on line for a very aggressive price. Good luck finding the vehicle you want it Utah.

Michael Gonzalez is a wonderful sales rep. He is friendly, very knowledgeable about the cars and their systems and has a pleasant demeanor. Michael didnt over push. He was there for all questions. Michael made the buying experience pleasant. The further steps of purchase/finance were easy as the rep ran several different scenarios for us and we discussed pros and cons to each. We then received a tour of the facility meeting different staff members. After purchase, Michael took as much time as we needed to help us understand and program all the features of our new TLX. We love our new car. Weve been looking at many makes for a year. We decided on an Acura and when we met Michael last month, we decided he was going to be our salesman. His service as Marine for our country sealed the deal!

Response from Gold Coast Acura:

Hi Geoff and Terry, Were so glad that Michael did a great job for you, but were not surprised. He has been a real asset for Gold Coast Acura and you are certainly not the first person to indicate his dedication to the job. Thanks so much for using Gold Coast Acura for purchasing your new TLX. Its a great choice for todays busy and demanding lifestyle. Please be sure to visit our Award winning Service Dept when you are ready for service or if you have any other questions or concerns about us, Acura or the TLX. Thanks again for bringing us the business. Jay

I walked into Acura mot knowing if I wanted to buy that day or not, I honestly was worried that I was going to end up with a typical sales man that was pushy into buying one of there cars, as soon as I met ALEX GARIBAY I felt immediate comfort. Alex took the time to get to know my mom, son, and I, to discover what was best for us! Being a first time buyer I felt no regrets driving away in my new 2014 Acura! Anyone that is considering to get a new vehicle I am recommending Alex! I without a doubt will always make it a point drive the 2 hours just to continue our business with Alex! We left with a new car and a new friend!

Response from Gold Coast Acura:

Hi Priscilla, Thanks for the kind words about Alex and Gold Coast Acura. We try to make your experience here as "comfortable" as possible and that includes attention to your needs and desires. It sounds like Alex did a great job at that so thanks again for letting us know how happy you are with us and your new Acura.

Words can barely express my delight regarding my experience with this dealership. The staff was professional, polite and patient. I decided on a 2015 RDX after 3 days and 6 test drives of 5 different vehicles. Look no further than Gold Coast Acura - This is where you should go to buy or lease a new Acura. Thanks again to my salesman, Alex and his sales manager, Steve.

I spent so long looking for a car. Every dealership was pushy and rude. I knew all along I wanted a Nissan Sentra, a stupid Carmax lady almost got me to buy one. Luckily I didnt and on cars.com I found my 2012 Sentra for 12,800! Best deal yet! The one at car max was older, more miles, and almost 3k more! I went in to the Acura dealership to look at it and they got me an amazing deal with affordable payments and I left jumping and dancing and the best part was I did it all by myself! :) Great staff, everyone was soooo friendly and fun! Definitely recommend Gold Coast Acura!

Response from Gold Coast Acura:

Elyssa, Thanks so much for the glowing review you gave us on your purchase of a pre-owned Nissan Sentra. We pride ourselves in having a great selection and it certainly sounds like you found what you were looking for! Please pass that word along on how you were treated and what a great deal you received!

We found the vehicle we were looking for in Cars.com. We called the dealer ahead of time as it was a 2 hour drive. The salesman I spoke to was waiting for us and they had the car ready. After the test drive and inspection of the car we were given a very fair price and they took care of all the paperwork ahead of time. We were very satisfied and wouldnt hesitate to go to Gold Coast Acura the next time we are looking for a another vehicle
