  As an out of state buyer I had a good experience with the communication I had with Vlad. Working with my banker to understand what my needs were and how to get me in California for a purchase. In the end the deal didn't work out but that wasn't the dealerships fault and if I saw another vehicle in the future I was curious about I would have no issues reaching out to this place to talk. Appreciate the time you put into our conversations.

  I bought a very nice looking used Venza from Century last winter. Never used the A/C, but it worked when I bought the car. Now, its Spring and I need the A/C and its dead....out of refrigerant. The Evaporator is faulty and leaked it all out. Repair cost is close to $3000- the entire dashboard must be dismantled and removed! Not necessarily saying that they deliberately sold me a known-faulty car with a quick refrigerant recharge to move it off their lot, but man, $3000. Fearing it would never be the same after such major surgery, I traded it in for a new Toyota and lost nearly $10,000 for just 6 months and 2500 miles of use . How would YOU feel?

  I posted my car for sale online and was contacted by Scott with Century Auto. I have sold many cars in my life and one thing I love is when the process is quick and seamless. Scott and his team were so sharp, kind, and professional throughout the whole process. Scott even sent his team to ME to pick up the car. Dealerships NEVER do home appraisals, pickup, and purchase on the spot, especially not in record time. The other thing you don’t see is a dealership offering a wire transfer option. They usually give you a check that clears after 3 days. Scott pays INSTANTLY. The whole process took about 30 minutes. Most of the time was spent me asking Manuel and Ivan questions and car advice which they were more than happy to do. Based on the inspection they did of the car, it’s obvious they only buy and sell quality cars. I was impressed by the whole team so much so that I’m looking to conduct future business with them. Give them a chance if your looking to buy or sell a car. Thank you Scott, Manuel, and Ivan!

  My wife and I bought a Lexus RX450h from Scott a year ago. Scott was very responsive and accommodating during the process, Covid and all. We did a pre-purchase inspection via Tommy at the Toyota Service center in the city for $190. Toyota inspection went well, we bought the car. Car has been great, not sure how Scott found a car with such few miles in such good condition.. Very happy we got it. The financing rates Century Auto offered through Capital One were good (4.25%) , but SF credit unions are better (3.8% -1% for hybrid discount= 2.8%). We financed through SF credit union. Century Auto had filed the paperwork prematurely to finance through Capital One (there is supposed to be several day holding period), but we could unwind that pretty easily and refinance through SF credit union. FYI When we bought our car, Century Auto was required to carry theft insurance for the cars on their lot. When you buy a car from Century Auto, they charge you $200 to transfer the theft insurance to your name.. We didn't want or need this insurance so this amounted to an upcharge on the car purchase. That said, they let me use their business account to get all weather mats from Lexus at a discount. All in all, very happy with Scott and Century Auto! Would definitely buy from them again.

  Scott and Vlad were fantastic. They were friendly, efficient, helpful, patient, consultative, and yet fast at the same time. The vehicle I purchased is one of the cleanest I have ever seen on a used car lot, especially considering the mileage. Pricing was honest and fair and the negotiation was straightforward. They assisted with financing and sourced a loan nearly 1% below my "go-to" lender. Read the "Why Us?" section on their web site. This is an accurate reflection of my experience with them. I am very impressed with their approach to the business and auto industry. I would (and will) recommend them to friends and family. Great experience from start to finish!

  Bought a Porsche from this dealership and the next day drove it cross country to Miami. Scott told me the car would handle the drive and it did! I love the car and the service from Scott! I would totally buy another luxury car from him, check out the car lot, lots of cool luxury cars and Scott is a laid back, cool guy!

  My experience with Century Auto Credit was a really enjoyable and easy process. Scott and Vlad were eager to answer all of my questions, but at no time were they pushy to make the sale. I purchased the vehicle my wife wanted and I noticed all of the cars on the lot are of high quality, and with he car that I purchased (2012 GMC Acadia Denali) is a great condition with low miles. The one issue with the car was the AC. Even though it was not part of the contracted agreement, they took car of with no additional money for the repairs having to be paid by me. I will be a customer with them for years to come. I highly recommend Century Auto Credit to purchase a high quality, low miles reliable car at very reasonable prices.

  Scott and Vlad were amazing. This had to be quickest buying experience my husband and I have had. All the cars in the lot are in excellent shape if not new looking. We drove 4 hours to buy our Ford F-350. They were honest and didn’t play the “usual” games. We will be going back for our next car.

  Great and easy experience in buying our family car/ 2015 Honda Odyssey. Scott & Vladimir was nice and welcoming and there was no pressure. They answered all of our questions, they made buying our minivan the easiest experience I have ever had.... definitely 5 star dealer and I would recommend them. I would definitely buy a vehicle from them again and refer my friends & family. See you guys in the next few years!

  I ALMOST bought a mint condition '14 FJ Cruiser from these guys but sadly I realized in the final moments of transacting that it was too tall for my garage. I found one at the right height later that day through another source. But I was impressed with these fellows and liked them, so when it soon came time to sell my older Tacoma I offered it to them instead of selling it myself or letting the other dealer low-ball the value. These guys gave me a quick and very fair appraisal and so I went back to them and they bought it from me. It was a fair deal all around. I would easily go back and do business with them again.
