Dig’s Wheels Inc

Went to look at a 2002 Mazda Tribute, the sales man took me out in it for a test drive, all was fine. He was very chatty and impressed with his info and advice. As soon as I asked to take the car to another mechanic to check it out, he disappeared, I left my number with his mechanic and suggested if he was ok for the car to be checked by another mechanic then to call me and I would arrange it. No call, clearly problems that he was not disclosing about the car!
Either he had too much money to be bothered to make the asking 5995 or the car was a very bad investment.
Do not buy the 2002 Mazda Tribute, like new with 90,000 miles!!!

i recently had my car totaled due to a drunk driver so i had to buy a used car.
i had heard about dig’s wheels inc from my uncle and so i went down there to see what the prices were. after seeing that the prices were all reasonably priced the salesman helped me out and let me test drive the car of my choice right away. the owner was very helpful and helped me look at what i needed. after test driving the car i went around looking in escondido and could not find anything better than what i had found at dig’s, not only that but dig’s had the better deal in the long run with the used cars. the thing that made my decision was that i only had to put half down to get the car that day.
i do not have anything bad to say about the business nor do i have anything extremely outstanding about this business either. but what i can say is that if your looking for the best deal without any hassle dig’s wheels is the best place to go in the north county area.

We took my wife’s grand daughter to this this dealer and was looking for her first car. She took one for a test drive and really liked it, we said we’d be back the next day to look again, the next day she was really upset when she realized she was missing a small wallet and cash. We returned to Digs and they had found it on the floor of the and it was returned to her. This is a dealership that you can trust

Andy treated me with respect and honesty in my purchase of my vehicle. He is a «down to earth» person you can rely on and helped me with financing my car. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a vehicle.

My friend was buying a car for her daughter and asked me to go along (she felt having a man with her would help her not be taken). I said I didn’t have time, but recommended she go to Dig’s. I added, «Have your smart phone with you. Any car that seems like a good price… Google, and see what others of that model are selling for.»
She went, and found a Toyota she loved. She said she felt so good about the car, and dealing with Andy the sales person, that she didn’t even feel it was necessary to Google and see what the car was worth. Luckily, she did this when she got home and was pleased with the price she paid.
I didn’t want to bother her by saying «You should Unilocal the business.» I type fast and figured I’d just share her story on how nice the staff at that place were to her. Yet I found something rather intriguing on this page.
I noticed a review from a «John S.» It made absolutely no sense, and this bothered me for a few different reasons. As a person that goes on Unilocal and likes to read what others say about businesses, or post my review of businesses that are great, terrible, or in between… I figure this is a service that can help people out. Yet… when I read a review that doesn’t make sense (there are lots of ways to determine this)…I spend a few minutes investigating.
Now, in their review of Dig’s…they bring up a scenario I can’t even envision happening. An employee saying something nasty to a competing business. Nobody does that. An employee making $ 15 an hour just wouldn’t care. And an owner or somebody in management, would realize it’s not professional.
Second, IF (and I say «if») that happened, why in the world would somebody Unilocal that? Let’s keep Unilocal reviews to ones that have customers that were happy, unhappy, or whatever. Not somebody that was cut off by a Denny’s truck, and now they’re Unilocaling a bad review on the restaurant. Or a neighbor that might be having a fight with an employee there, etc.
I then investigated this John S, just to see what other reviews «he» wrote. It was odd. It was either a horrible review (one star) or an excellent review (five stars). Why? Is this a businessman (or woman), that is giving great reviews to businesses they own, or friends own? And bad reviews to competitors? For example, in one review… he states «I wanted to review this place, but even though the food smelled good, the service was so bad, we left.»
Now…I eat at restaurants 5 times a week (I don’t cook and like eating food that’s bad for me). Never once, have me or my friends left a restaurant because we weren’t served. It just doesn’t happen. Mostly because… if you go 15 minutes with no service… by the time you all get up, get back in your respective cars (a few of which were purchased at Dig’s), go to a different place that’s agreed upon — that’s a lot more time than waiting another two minutes for a waiter/​waitress.
SO, instead of me writing an update about the great service my friend had at this car dealership, I’m instead talking about this weird review, that isn’t even a «review» and is most likely, not even real.
So people out there reading reviews on this site, just take various things in mind. There are going to be many that aren’t real. Use common sense to determine which ones those are.
That being said… another happy customer, another update on my original review. Now… if only the staff there would see this, and hook me up with a car!!!

The bottom line: The owner and salesman Andy is very pleasant, although talkative, at first, but after mentioning some issues my mechanic found wrong with the car, his true colors showed.
I went to Dig’s Wheels yesterday to look at the inventory and found some pretty decent looking cars there. I test drove two cars, ’02 VW Passat and ’03 VW Jetta Wagon. Both cars seemed to drive and handle pretty well. I was leaning more toward the Passat because I have a 1 year old daughter and the extra backseat space was a plus since both cars were priced the same. Today I went back to the lot and took the Passat to my mechanic who’d been nothing but good and fair and to me for many years on two different cars. It didn’t take long for my mechanic to find some issues with the car, and overall he said the total cost to restore it to like new condition would be about $ 2,000.
I took a list of the things my mechanic noticed back to the dealer to try and work out a price because I really liked the car. The first thing I mentioned was that the wheels, although newish, needed to be replaced because the quality of the tires was cheap. Andy’s first response was «bullshit!» The conversation went downhill from there. As I continued to explain the issue Andy threw the keys to my current car at me and went off about how my mechanic was «bullshitting» me and accused me of trying to nickel and dime him. After his defensive rant, Andy plainly and rudely said he doesn’t negotiate on price. I left the dealership pretty upset because I felt abused as though I had done something criminal to warrant such a a hostile response. I was going to attempt to reduce the asking price of the Passat and if that didn’t work I was going to consider one or two other cars on his lot, but after the experience I had dealing with one car, I had no interest in doing business with him. Obviously someone is going to end up buying the car for what Andy was asking, someone always does; but according to my mechanic that person is going to pretty upset when they find out what kind of shape it’s in or it lets them down.
I strongly recommend finding another dealership to purchase a car from because the kind of service you get generally tells you the kind of car you’re going to buy.

I also have never been a customer here. Ran into one of there employees at 7-​eleven during lunch hour. I was walking in and held the door open for him as any polite person in public would. Instead of acknowledging this nice gesture, he instead chose to observe my work shirt which is a competing auto retailer. Upon observation he said «business name DIE» and gave a thumbs down and stuck out his tongue and kept walking. So I thought I would just share the outstanding level of professionalism this company promotes.
This review and account of events is 100% real. The other review in fact is fake and you can go ahead and double my estimated hourly rate there chief. Just wanted to share my experience with the business. He may have and sell great cars and provide great customer service, I just felt he was very unprofessional. And as for my reviews, sadly I tend to write reviews when I love a place or strongly dislike a place.
