Mike’s Place

I found this place on autotrader. It looked like a jeep haven. I drove 130 miles with cash in hand (literally) to buy a jeep. When I arrived I was very disappointed and frustrated with the condition of 90% of the jeeps on the lot. Most keeps had several different leaks and looked like they never had been washed, ever. The sales rep was not interested in my sale, at all. What a waste of gas and my time. Avoid this place unless you want a jeep from a dealership that does not take pride in its product.

We purchased a jeep 11/​22/​2014 and as of today (3÷5÷2015) l don’t have the registration or title. I have called 3 times and I am not getting any phone calls returned. I spoke to Jeff twice and told me this mother Elsa is in charge of DMV and it is on her desk but not sure why it is incomplete. Elsa has yet to return my calls and are not communicating. I have found through the DMV site that this is supposed to be completed within 60 days. Interesting, my son purchased a vehicle through another dealership in February and received his registration in about 2 weeks.
I am not sure if we are ever going to get this resolved. BAD SERVICE. Don’t buy from them

I just bought a Jeep from Mike’s Place. They had a great selection to choose from and even switched out the tires for us off of another vehicle. There was no hassle with the price, the price listed was $ 250 below what Kelley Blue Book valued it at… and he helped me with the financing. Jeff was the only person working at the time and he was running around doing everything himself but still made sure we were taken care of. He even drove our Jeep and the other Jeep to the tire shop around the corner and walked back to make sure the tires got switched. I’ll post another review on the vehicle after driving it for a while, but the customer service has been great! Way better than I would have expected from a smaller dealer like this one. I would recommend this place!

Great service. The first time I’ve ever been to a car dealership and not felt like I was at a car dealership.
Family owned and operated for many years. They just acquired a lifetime customer in me.

Many car dealerships have «that reputation» HOWEVER when I bought my Mercedes CLS there were a number of things that stood out during but more importantly post sale. The process was very seamless, I was even allowed to take the vehicle to a local certified mechanic for inspection, who does that, Mike’s Place. It definitely reaffirmed their claims of it being in solid shape. I never felt haggled, pressured, and they were fair. Even after the sale, contracts are signed, I wanted to have some things done to the car and they brokered conversations with other local, trusted businesses. There are shady individual dealerships out there, this isn’t one.
BTW when I see someone complaining about gas, oil changes and car washes give me a break, par for the course folks. Not shocked considering a guy who purchased the car had his girlfriend write the review, anyways.
I highly recommend and rarely jump on Unilocal to write feedback but was compelled to that’s how good my experience was and continues to be!

I bought a Cadillac sts which was a great buy!!! I dont like writing reviews until i have had the car for a while. I had the car a long time with really no problems. The guys there were very trustworthy, you dont get that alot at used car places, which was great!!! The main thing is how the car treated me… and i have to say it was one of the best used cars i have ever had. I have recommended them to all my friends and family and will continue to do so.

My boyfriend bought a corvette from this place a week ago. he was corresponding via email with i believe jeff and everything seemed cool. he went in bought the car (i guess they don’t budge at all on price) anyway he bought the car once all was signed they’re like oh you need gas and an oil change and the brakes are squeaky all this little stuff that we would’ve appreciated to be told about BEFORE everything was signed. hes happy with the car but annoyed that he has to do all these things to the car that was «ready to go»
i do not recommend !!!

I had trouble getting a low payment at other car lots in orange county but this place was able to get me a really low interest rate and my payment was even lower than I expected. There was no pressure and the guys were really cool. Thanks for the truck!

A while back I had bought a used vehicle from the guys at mikes place, a chevy s10 blazer. I had always been leery of used car dealerships afraid that they were somehow going to try and pull one over on me by selling me a bum vehicle and just take my money. The guys at Mikes Place helped put that fear at ease when I bought this truck, I had never made a purchase this big before so needless to say I was a bit anxious especially since I was buying a used truck. I was already approved for a loan from my bank which was a big relief, now to just find a truck lol. I like to think of myself as a positive person and hoped that I didn’t have any major problems. Fortunately this was a good experience, Jeff and Tim were really helpful. Thanks Guys!

Got turned down at one larger dealership but got approved to get a car /​same car little older 20k more miles somewhere else but thought I would try here before signing the papers on the other. It was sort of unplanned as I didnt think I would be approved the other was a less money. Just filed bankruptcy. Jeff was great assisted me in the process. At a guess Jeff and I were thinking 23% interest plus 1k for financing throufh westlake probably.(I have bought a lot of cars I know all the finance places even ones that are gone like onyx) anyway I was looking at about 430 a month. Jeff calls me and says he got an approval from Chase in the 7% range. WHAT??? Never even when my credit was good did I get that. WHAT??? Can you tell I am blown away? Well I work 2 jobs and wouldnt have been able to get the car for awhile as it was Christmas Eve and Jeff was closing. He called his brother Tim who came in on Christmas Eve on his day off after they were closed to sell me the car. WHAT??? Still cant believe how great this place is. I am in my dream car and it was easier to get than any other car in my past. A few reviews about bad buys from people about this place but so far I have nothing bad to say. Car seems great havent had it looked over yet but Tim offered to help with anything that might go wrong. Also on their website was a link to the carfax so I am a happy corvette driver. These guys are great. Oh one more thing anyone can go to a carmax auction buy a some cars and turn around and sell them but these guys if you look on the lot its not filled with crap broken down honda accords. They dont seem to just wanna make a few buck they carefully select nice cars and clean them up and make dreams come true.

i Have purchased many cars and this was one of the best experiences i have ever had, from phone correspondences to in person transactions it was great, nice people great cars, great prices. i will def go back when i am in the market for a car again

bought a car from these guys and took it to the dealer for a full workup on vehicle… dealer said there was 6k worth of work to do immediately… ofcourse they said they didnt know about it… they are liars, but that is just my opinion. if you are buying a car from them and having it shipped to you good luck… buyer beware… check out their bbb review they are a «f»…ended up paying 240 to fix problems with 1000 to go yet.
