Great place! I recently purchased a Honda Fit from the Santa Barbara Auto Connection and could not be happier! The owner, Sia, is extremely honest, friendly, and makes the entire process painless and smooth. Everything went perfectly and I am very grateful. Thank you so much!

Sia was prompt to return my calls, honest, polite and treated me with total respect - not to mention he lowered the price. This is exactly what you expect from a customer service perspective. I did my own research and chose a 2013 Honda Fit - because they are known for reliability and few mechanical issues. Used cars are a gamble but being upfront and honest and treating people with respect is a personality trait that some people have and some do not. Thanks Sia - my two month long search for good customer service and a reliable car is over and I can enjoy this beautiful California weather.

We had been searching for a used auto that was decently priced and really well kept. Our Honda Pilot met those standards exactly and we couldnt be happier. The owner worked with us and even helped in areas were our bank lacked. We are really happy with our experience with Santa Barbara Auto Connection.

Took a trip to Santa Barbara Auto Connection to check out a Volvo. Was fortunate to be assisted by 2 professional people. Sia the owner goes out of his way in making a great offer. Also, Adrian who was helpful in answering any questions per the car for sale.Its sometimes difficult to find honest and real small businesses.

Working with Sia was such a pleasure. He was very informative about the various vehicles on the lot without being pushy at all. It took me a while to decide I was ready to buy, and he was very relaxed and let me get the car inspected without a hassle. The vehicle is high mileage but drives like new, in part thanks to the pre-sale maintenence that SB Auto does, including fresh fluids. Such a great place to buy a used vehicle at very fair prices!

I purchased a 2001 BMW Z3 3.0 from Sia last week and I had a fantastic experience working with him. I have a matching color BMW wagon and was so excited that one of my dream cars was at his dealership. The first day he offered a test drive no problem... and while the car sells itself, he was very open about what was good/bad with the car. Took me a couple of days to figure out the financing, but he was happy the car would be a local car and be taken care of; can’t say that of too many other owners of used car dealerships. The process was smooth even though I had some wrinkles on my end. Thank you Sia and I wish you and the dealership nothing but the best!

Sia, the owner of this renowned car dealership, is a great business man. He is a pleasure to work with and he will gratify your various needs and desires in pertinence to owning an automobile. I bought my very first car from Sia and I have no regrets. I plan on patronizing him again in the near future.

Great dealer. Helped me from day one and sold me a car in excellent condition at a really fair price, on the lower side of the market range. The deal went smoothly, and he even made me save some money : the garage where I went to get the car inspected told me that something had to be changed and he offered to do the repair before I bought the car. I definitely recommend !

Our family have bought two cars in the past. We are looking for a third car. We are very satisfied and the owner is knowledgeable, never pushy and gave us a great deal. Most of his cars have only had one owner. I would recommend looking here for your car. If he doesnt have what you are looking for he will try and find it for you.

This business deserve a top rating. Being an older lady Im often not treated very nice but Sia and the rest of the staff treated me so well. I felt like we had been friends for a long time. Lets hear it for a local business that is friendly, has integrity, and one that really goes the extra mile. An honest deal from an honest owner. Sign me as A Very Happy Customer.

My husband and I bought our car from Santa Barbara Auto Connection and couldnt be happier! Very friendly and honest car dealer unlike so many other ones you come across nowadays.

We recently purchased a nice vehicle from Sia for a fair price on the lower end of market. He seemed very knowledgeable about the vehicle and explained what we needed to be careful about. We asked him to take care of a few minor things before we purchased the vehicle; he took care of them and prepped the vehicle nicely. We even discovered a minor problem after we took ownership and he took care of it! He was very interested that we should be satisfied with our purchase. We will come here again for future purchases!

Getting my first car here is painless, no pressure tactics whatsoever. I even get a lot of help and pointers, which means a lot of me as a student coming from out of town! All this are on top of the bargain price that i got. I would recommend my friends and family to buy their car from Santa Barbara Auto Connection.

I purchased a used Honda Civic from Sia about 3 months ago. This is the best car Ive ever owned!! Theres hasnt been a single problem with it, nothing! I saw several cars before coming across this dealership, and its easy to tell that they sell quality, well taken care of, cars. I would definitely recommend this dealership to anyone who is even thinking about buying a car.

I just purchased a vehicle from Sia and he was a pleasure to work with. Friendly, kind and helpful from the start. Did all the paperwork for us and all we had to do was drive away with the car (aka no visit to the DMV- thank goodness!!!). It was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend :)

I had an excellent experience buying a car from Sia at Santa Barbara Auto Connection. I would recommend him and his business to anyone looking for a quality used car. Sia is very straight forward and trustworthy. He followed through with everything he said he would do. He even picked us up from Avis so we wouldnt have to pay for a taxi.Even after the sale he has been a great help getting the paperwork done and helping us get insurance.If youre looking for a used car and he has something on his lot that you like I fully recommend buying from him!

After having bought our used car here we honestly wished we would need another one every day. The owner is super friendly, laidback, even with some car trouble after the purchase 100 % helpful. All transactions 100 % transparent. All our needs were met, great place to go. An extra star also for superiour cleaning - we saw the car before and after - so excellent.

I just bought a beautiful 2007 Honda Accord from Sia. He was so kind and very knowledgeable about the history of this car and he was willing to fix any little thing that I needed. I test drove it and then thought about the car for a whole week while on vacation. When I returned, the car was still available and Sia even came down on the price just for me! I HIGHLY recommend his cars and especially SIA! You wont have a hard sell. Everything with SIA is TOP NOTCH. I LOVE MY CAR! Thank you, Sia.

This was my first truly positive experience buying a used vehicle. Sia, the owner, is very kind, honest, and helpful. I had two minor issues with the CRV I bought from him within the first 4-5 weeks of purchasing the vehicle, and he immediately fixed them free of charge. He also provided very helpful advice about maintaining the vehicle moving forward, to maximize its life. He provided practical help and advice with financing the vehicle as well. Overall, A+ experience...and I will go nowhere else to buy my used vehicles in the future!

I was searching for a car for a short term stay in California. Sia, the owner, offered me a Honda CR-V 97, took care about all the paper work and I think, it was a fair deal. The car was fun to drive and I had no problems during my stay. In the end Sia even helped me with the paperwork to transfer the car to a friend. Sia was always friendly and helpful, I can totally recommend this place.

Review №36

They say three times a charm well at SB Auto Connection all three times were a charm. We recently bought our third car from Sia at the Auto Connection. We love all our cars and they all drive great and they are usually local, one owner cars. He not only got us the car that met our needs, he worked with us on a great price, gave us a warranty on the used car which is unheard of these days, and made sure everything was in great working order. The radio was malfunctioning, so he let me use a rental car while he ordered a brand new cd player/radio and put it in. If there is any issue at all with your car, he will see to it that it is fixed perfectly before he sends it home with you. I trust Sia and know that he has my best interest in mind and will continue to buy my cars through him.

Sia was absolutely fantastic. I moved to Santa Barbara barely speaking English. As a student, I needed a car to get to school and Sia helped me out. I bought a 2000 beige Toyota Corolla and Sia took care of everything. He was very understanding, helpful and patient. All I had to do was choose the car I wanted (which he advised me on) and he took care of all the paperwork and I had nothing to do except sign and pay. Its rare to find such a reasonably priced dealership and a dealer who takes care of all the paperwork (including registration). I highly recommend this dealership for anyone looking for a car. He helped me with my car insurance and is always ready to help.

That was first time I bought car in USA. Usually Im very cautious, but this time I simply bought the car I really like and wasnt pay attention to inspect something. I have enough experience to see the car is not damaged, not repainted, in very good condition, also drives very well, honest price, so I just got test-drive and then pay money.Sia is very pleasant man, he took care about all paperwork, help me with insuranse, and gave me 2000 miles warranty. In this period there was 2 minor issues, and Sia fixed them.Ive got licence plates, registration card and title via mail about week ago. Couple of days ago Ive got car inspection in Volvo service station and they confirmed that the car is in excellent condition.It was very good experience, I would recommend this dealer for everybody with no doubts.

I bought a beautiful 2001 z3 3.0i from Sia back in April, and to this day I am extremely thankful for Sia. He had an extremely fair price, and I pounced on the offer. Many many other people tried to contact Sia and swipe the car after me, but he stayed true to his promise to sell it to me. Wow - thank you so so much Sia!!! Also, he went above and beyond working with me - since he is in California and I live in Atlanta, he worked with me and the inspection company and the shipping company I chose to coordinate times to inspect and eventually ship the car to me! He had never shipped a car out of state before, but he made it work! We figured out the paperwork and exchange of money and everything went smoothly and fairly. When the car arrived, it was in great shape! Sia made sure to follow up with me, respond quickly, and keep me in the loop at every step. What a truly wonderful experience, and a truly wonderful car to show for it. I could not (still!) be happier! I highly recommend him and his dealership. Thank you Sia!!!

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A SMALL SUV FOR TWO MONTHS FOR ME AND MY GRANDDAUGHTERS AND MY BIKES. WENT ON LINE AND VIEWED SB AUTO CONNECTION. HAD A GREAT SELCTION OF SMALL HONDA SUVS ON LOT. WHICH I HAVE OWNED MANY HONDAS IN THE PAST .SIA WAS VERY HELPFUL AND KNOWS HIS CARS. NO PRESSURE SALES, CAME BACK THREE TIMES JUST BECAUSE EVEYWHERE I LOOKED COULD NO BEAT THE PRICE I RECEIVED AND CUSTOMER SERVICE. HE EVEN CALLED ME AND INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS ANOTHER KEY FOR THE CAR AND REPLACED THE BATTERY FOR ME. SAT DOWN AND TALKED ABOUT HIS TWO BABIES, DOGS THAT IS. HE IS A KIND AND CARING PERSON.

Review №54

The dealer is amazing!!! Im a girl whose English is not pretty good and have no idea about how to negotiate the price. I had really bad experience before that another dealer tried to sell a horrible car to me with high price. I am really skeptical at first. But Sia is really nice. He taught me the things you need to know to buy a car, and give me a fair price! Thats my first car in my life and its a pretty and safe honda civic. Because I am a bad driver who just learned to drive recently, I hit in front of my car slightly. He fixed it for me without paying any fee because he has 3 months guarantee; which means, if my car has any problems in three months, i could bring back the car to fix it. Also, he would pay tax, and license fee for you. You do not need to go to DMV and do everything by yourself. He will do everything for you! He is pretty nice. you wont regret to buy a car from him. One more thing: I tried to write a review on YELP at first, but because Im not a active user, so they wont show my good feedback. So, anyway! Sia is amazing!

Thanks to Sia and his team, this was one of the best car buying experiences I have had! Sia and SB Auto Connection were recommended to me by a friend, and it was definitely worth it! Sia is honest, friendly, reliable, and true to his word. He truly cares about the people who buy cars from him, and wants to be sure they get a car they are happy with. This is also evident in the engine and drive train warranty he includes. I bought a 1999 Honda CRV that Sia had a lot of praise for. However, we discovered a few issues with the car immediately after the purchase, and I began to have serious second thoughts about it. Fortunately, Sia was very helpful and was true to his word (with the warranty), and the issues were fixed. I had to wait an extra week before I could really use the car, but the wait was worth it as it now runs even better. I definitely recommend Santa Barbara Auto Connection. Thank you Sia!
